Auditor's Report (Firstsource Solutions) Year End : Mar '11
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Firstsource Solutions
 Limited (the Company) as at 31 March 2011 and the related Profit and
 Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date,
 annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of
 the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
 on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
 accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the
 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
 statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
 disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
 assessing the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates
 made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
 basis for our opinion.
 
 1.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Schedule 30 to
 the financial statements that describes the early adoption by the
 Company of Accounting Standard (AS) 30, Financial Instruments –
 Recognition and Measurements, read with AS 31, Financial Instruments –
 Presentation, as applicable, along with prescribed limited revisions to
 other accounting standards, issued by the Institute of Chartered
 Accountants of India, as in managements opinion, it more appropriately
 refl ects the nature / substance of the related transactions. The
 Company has accounted for assets and liabilities as per requirements of
 AS 30 including prescribed limited revisions to other accounting
 standards. AS 30 is not yet notifi ed/ prescribed under the Companies
 (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, and therefore, can be applied only
 to the extent that it does not confl ict with other accounting
 standards notifi ed/ prescribed under the said rules. Consequent to
 adoption of AS 30, the Profit after taxation is lower and reserves and
 surplus as at the balance sheet date is higher by Rs. (000) 237,064 and
 Rs. (000) 629,249 respectively.
 
 2.  As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (the
 Order), as amended, issued by the Central Government of India in terms
 of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the

 in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 3.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we

 a) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the
 best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our
