 Having regard to the nature of the Company''s
 business/activities/result, clauses 4 (x) and (xiii) of the Companies
 (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (hereinafter referred to as the Order)
 are not applicable.
 
 (i) In respect of its fixed assets:
 
 (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars,
 including quantitative details and situation of the fixed assets.
 
 (b) As explained to us, the Company has a system of physical
 verification of fixed assets which is designed to cover all fixed
 assets once in a period of three years and in accordance therewith, no
 physical verification was due during the current year. In our opinion,
 the frequency of physical verification is reasonable having regard to
 the size of the Company and the nature of its fixed assets.
 
 (c) The fixed assets disposed off during the year, in our opinion, do
 not constitute a substantial part of the fixed assets of the Company
 and such disposal has, in our opinion, not affected the going concern

 (a) As explained to us, the inventories were physically verified during
 the year by the Management at reasonable intervals.

 given to us, the Company has maintained proper records of its
 inventories and no material discrepancies were noticed on physical
 verification and have been properly dealt with in the books of account.

 under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956(the Act), according to

 a company during the year.  The maximum amount due during the year in
 respect of the said loan and the year-end balance is Rs. 100 lacs.

 amount or interest thereon was due during the year.

 (iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, having regard to the explanations that some of the items

 not readily available for obtaining comparable quotations, there is an
 adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the
 Company and the nature of its business with regard to purchases of
 inventory and fixed assets and the sale of goods. There are no sale of
 services during the year. During the course of our audit, we have not
 observed any major weakness in such internal control system.

 maintained in pursuance of Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956, to
 the best of our knowledge and belief and according to the information

 (vii) In our opinion, the internal audit functions carried out during
 the year by a firm of Chartered Accountants appointed by the Management
 have been commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of
 its business.

 been prescribed by the Central Government under section 209(1) (d) of
 the Companies Act, 1956 in respect of the Company''s products.
