Auditor's Report Year End : Mar '09
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Himachal Futuristic
 Communications Limited (the Company) as at 31 st March, 2009, the
 Profit & Loss Account and also the 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.
 
 2.  We have 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 (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, issued
 by the Central Government of India in terms of Section 227(4A) of the
 Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as considered
 appropriate and according to the information and explanations given to
 us during the course of the audit, we enclose in the Annexure hereto a
 statement on die matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
 Order to the extent applicable.
 
 4.  a) As stated in Note 8 of Schedule 19, the Company has accounted
 for the impact of modified CDR package after svmplying with most of the
 terms and conditions stipulated therein, however compliance of some of
 them are still in process. The company is also not regular in payment
 of its dues including interest thereon to the lenders and may be liable
 to consequential withdrawal of any of the reliefs granted earlier.
 
 b) As stated in Note 9 of Schedule 19, the Company has, in terms of the
 CDR package, provided for interest on ballooning basis at the rate
 specified for the year which is higher then the rate on YTM basis i.e.
 @ 8.5% per annum, resulting in the loss for the year is higher by Rs.
 88,862,684/-. Had the interest has been provided on YTM basis, the
 cumulative effect upto 31 March 2009 on the provision for interest and
 accumulated losses would have been higher by Rs. 218,951,740/-.
 
 c) As stated in Note 17 of Schedule 19, with regard to the sundry
 debtors outstanding for a long period, we are unable to comment on the
 extent of realisability and consequently on the adequacy of provision
 for doubtful debts made by the Company. Impact thereof on the loss for
 the year, if any, is unascertainable.
 
 d) As stated in Note 22 of Schedule 19, regarding balances of some of
 the sundry debtors, creditors, lenders and loans and advances are
 subject to confirmations, reconciliation and adjustments, if any.
 
 e) As stated in Note 4 of Schedule 19, the Company has paid ,
 remuneration to managerial personnel during the year for which approval
 of central government is yet to be obtained.
 
 f) As stated in Note 20 of Schedule 19, the Company is in process of
 determining the impairment loss, if any, on its assets as per
 Accounting Standard - 28 Impairment of Assets issued by The Institute
 of Chartered Accountants of India and will give effect thereto upon
 such determination.  As such we are unable to express any opinion as to
 the effect thereof on the value of Assets and loss for the year.  The
 effect of items mentioned at paragraph 4(a), (c), (d), (e) and (f)
 above is unascertainable and hence the consequential cumulative effect
 thereof on loss for the year, assets, liabilities and reserves is
 unascertainable. If the observation at paragraph 4(b) above had been
 considered, the loss for the year would have been lower by Rs.
 88,862,684/- and accumulated debit balance in profit and loss account
 and the liabilities arid provisions would have been higher by Rs.
 218,951,740/-.  5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to
 above paragraph, 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 those

 Standards referred to in sub section (3C) of Section 211 of the

 as on 31 March, 2009 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
