Auditor's Report (ILandFS Engineering and Construction Company) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of IL&FS Engineering and
 Construction Company Limited (‘the Company’) as at March 31, 2011 and
 also the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for the
 year ended on that date 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) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
 sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
 in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4
 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 4.  The accompanying financial statements include the Company’s share
 of profit (net) aggregating to Rs. 2.18 Crores (Losses for the year
 ended March 31, 2010 – Rs. 1.80 Crores) from Integrated Joint Ventures
 in which the Company is a co- venturer. The financial statements of
 these Joint Venture entities as at and for the year ended March 31,
 2011 were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished
 to us. We have relied solely on the audit reports of other auditors in
 this regard.
 
 5.  Without qualifying our opinion, we invite your attention to Note
 no. 24 of Schedule 25 to the financial statements pertaining to
 remuneration paid by the Company to its directors, which was in excess
 of the limits specified under Schedule XIII of the Companies Act, 1956
 by Rs. 1.87 Crores, Rs. 0.16 Crore and Rs. 0.48 Crore for the year
 ended March 31, 2009, March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 respectively.
 The approval in respect of the aforesaid is awaited from the central
 government.
 
 6.  As detailed in Note nos. 30(a)(i) and 30(a)(iii) of Schedule 25 to
 the financial statements:
 
 a) One of the Integrated Joint Ventures, where the Company is a
 co-venturer, namely Maytas SNC (JV), has not prepared its financial
 statements for the year ended March 31, 2011.
 
 b) The accompanying financial statements include the Company’s share of
 loss of Rs. 0.11 Crore from an Integrated Joint Venture, in which the
 Company is a co- venturer based on its unaudited financial statements.
 
 The accompanying financial statements do not include the consequential
 impacts that may have been required had the audited financial
 statements of the joint ventures been made available.
 
 7.  As at March 31, 2011, the Company had certain Inter Corporate
 Deposits (ICDs) outstanding of Rs. 343.78 Crores (March 31, 2010 – Rs.
 391.64 Crores). Management has represented that the Company has taken
 steps to recover the amounts and is of the opinion that all deposits
 are fully recoverable. Accordingly no adjustments have been made to the
 accompanying financial statements in respect of the same.  Pending
 final outcome of the recovery process, we are unable to comment on the
 extent of recoverability of the aforesaid amounts. Our audit report on
 the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010 was also
