ANNEXURE TO THE AUDITORS REPORT
(Referred to in our report of even date)
1. (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets.
(b) As explained to us, the Company has a programme of physical
verification of its fixed assets in a phased manner over a period of
three years. In accordance with this programme, during the current
year, physical verification of certain fixed assets has been carried
out by the Company. In our opinion, this periodicity of physical
verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and
the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies were noticed on
such verification.
(c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial, and
therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.
2. (a) Inventories, except stock-in transit, have been physically
verified by management during the year. In our opinion, the frequency
of such verification is reasonable. For stocks lying with third parties
at the year-end, written confirmations have been obtained.
(b) In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of
inventories followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in
relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
(c) In our opinion, the Company is maintaining proper records of
inventory. The discrepancies noticed on verification between the
physical stocks and the book records were not material.

Company has neither granted nor taken any loans, secured or unsecured
to or from companies, firms or other parties covered in the register
maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956.
4. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
given to us, and having regard to the explanation that purchases of
certain items of inventories and fixed assets are for the Companys
specialised requirements and similarly certain goods sold and services
rendered are for the specialised requirements of the buyers and
suitable alternative sources are not available to obtain 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 purchase of inventories and fixed assets and with regard to the sale
of goods and services. We have not observed any major weakness in the
internal control system during the course of the audit.
5. (a) In our opinion and according to the information and
explanations given to us, the particulars of contracts or arrangements
referred to in section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 have been entered
in the register required to be maintained under that section.
(b) In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations
given to us, the transactions made in pursuance of contracts and
arrangements referred to in (a) above and exceeding the value of Rs 5
lacs are for sale of certain goods and services for the specialised
requirements of the buyer and for which suitable alternative sources
are not available to obtain comparable quotations. Hence it is not
possible for us to comment whether above contracts or arrangements have
been made at prices which are reasonable having regard to the
prevailing market prices at the relevant time.
6. The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public.
7. In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system
commensurate with the size and nature of its business.
8. We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the
Company pursuant to the rules prescribed by the Central Government for
maintenance of cost records under clause (d) of sub-section (1) of
Section 209 of the Companies Act, 1956 in respect of its products and
are of the opinion that prima facie, the prescribed accounts and
records have been made and maintained. However, we have not made a
detailed examination of the records.

Education and Protection Fund, Employees State Insurance, Income tax,
