Auditor's Report (Godrej Industries) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of GODREJ INDUSTRIES
 LIMITED as at March 31, 2011 and also the Profit and Loss Account and
 Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date,
 both 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.
 
 2.  We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 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.
 
 3.  As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, issued
 by the Central Government in terms of Section 227(4A) of the Companies
 Act, 1956, we annex hereto a statement on the matters specified in
 paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 4.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
 report that:
 
 a) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the
 best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our
 audit.
 
 b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been
 kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of such
 books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit have
 been received from the branches not visited by us. The Branch Auditors
 Report has been forwarded to us and has been appropriately dealt with.
 
 c) The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement
 dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account
 and with the audited returns from the branches.
 
 d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash
 Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting
 Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the
 Companies Act, 1956.
 
 e) Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 10 (b) of
 Schedule 20 – Notes to Accounts regarding a loan and interest thereon
 of Rs. 84.86 crores (previous year Rs. 81.13 crores), (net of provision
 of Rs. 5.47 crores (previous year Rs. 3.29 crores)) to a Trust for
 purchase of the Companys shares from the market equivalent to the
 options granted under an Employee Stock Option Plan. As at March 31,
 2011, the market value of the shares held by the ESOP Trust is lower
 than the holding cost of these shares by Rs. 25.47 crores (previous
 year Rs. 34.56 crores) (net of provision of Rs. 5.47 crores (previous
 year Rs. 3.29 crores)). The repayment of the loans granted to the ESOP
 Trust and the interest payable by the Trust on the said loans is
 dependent on the exercise of options by the employees during the
 exercise period and / or the market price of the underlying equity
 shares of the unexercised options at the end of the exercise period. In
 the opinion of the management, the fall in the value of the underlying
 equity shares is on account of market volatility and the loss, if any,
 can be determined only at the end of the exercise period, in view of
 which, provision for the diminution is not considered necessary in the
 financial statements.
 
 f) Reference is invited to Note 8 (a) of Schedule 20 - Notes to
 Accounts, regarding the recoverability of advances given to certain
 individuals amounting to Rs. 10.33 crores (previous year Rs. 10.33
 crores) being contingent upon the transfer and / or disposal of the
 shares pledged against the loan. The said shares were lodged for
 transfer, which application was rejected and the Company has preferred
 an appeal to the Company Law Board. The investee company had in the
 mean while moved the High Court but the matter was referred back to the
 Company Law Board where the matter is awaiting hearing. The impact
 thereof on the profit for the year and the reserves as at March 31,
 2011, could not be ascertained.
 
 g) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
 the explanations given to us, the said accounts subject to paragraph
 (f) above, and read with the notes thereon, give the information
 required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and give
 a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
 generally accepted in India:
 
 i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
 Company as at March 31, 2011;
 
 ii) in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the profit of the
 Company for the year ended on that date; and
 
 iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the
 Company for the year ended on that date.
 
 5. On the basis of the written representations received from the
 directors of the Company as on March 31, 2011 and taken on record by
 the Board of Directors, we report that none of the directors of the
 Company is disqualified as on March 31, 2011 from being appointed as a
 director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of
 the Companies Act, 1956.
