1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Great Offshore
 Limited as at March 31, 2011 and also the Profit and Loss Account and
 Cash filow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date,
 both annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility
 of the Company''s management. Our responsibility is to express an
 opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 2.  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 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 (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003, as
 amended by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2004, issued by the
 Central Government of India in terms of section 227 (4A) of the
 Companies Act, 1956, we annex hereto a statement on the matters
 specifed in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 4.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph
 (3) 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 purposes 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.
 
 c) The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash filow Statement
 dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account.
 
 d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash
 filow 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) We draw attention to Note 19 of Schedule 19, Notes to Account. The
 Company has changed its accounting policy w.e.f. January 01, 2011 in
 respect of expenses of spares, stores & consumables in line with
 Accounting Standard (AS) 2 -  Valuation of Inventories by which
 spares, stores & consumables on board the vessels which are not
 consumed are accounted as inventory. Accordingly, as on 31st March 2011
 the Company has accounted Inventory amounting to Rs.5580 lakhs and
 disclosed the same as an Exceptional item. This has resulted in stating
 of profit of the company for the year higher by Rs. 5580 lakhs.
 
 f) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
 the explanations given to us, the said accounts 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 filow Statement, of the cash fows for the
 year ended on that date.

 particulars, including quantitative details and situation of
 fixed assets.
 
 (b) The fixed assets are physically verifed by the management as per a

 not substantial and do not affect the going concern assumption.

 given to us, the procedures of physical verification of inventory
 followed by the Management needs to be further strengthened.

 purchase of inventory, fixed assets and for the sale of goods except for
 maintenance of inventory records. Further, on the basis of our
 examination of the books of account and records of the Company, and
