 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 significant 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.

 of schedule 24 of financial statements regarding non-provision of
 proportionate premium on redemption of US Dollar 100,000,000 5% Foreign
 Currency Convertible Bonds due 2015 amounting to Rs.244.58 lacs. The
 same has been disclosed as a contingent liability. Management has
 represented that the redemption premium will be offset against the
 securities premium account and accordingly, no provision has been
 considered in the accounts.

 report that:
 
 i. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
