Auditor's Report (Infomedia 18) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Infomedia 18 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 (''financial statements''). 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.  Without qualifying our report, we draw attention to Note 24 of
 schedule ''S'' to the financial statements.  As at March 31,2011, the
 accumulated losses of the Company are Rs. 1,240,234,034 as against
 share capital and reserves of Rs. 1,323,032,777. During the year ended
 March 31, 2011, the Company has incurred losses of Rs. 306,564,169.
 Further, as indicated in the said note, (a) the Business Directories
 business, the New media business and the Publishing business of the
 Company is in the process of being demerged into a separate undertaking
 as per a Scheme of Arrangement, and (b) Management of the Company is
 also evaluating various options in relation to its Printing business,
 including sale.These factors indicate the existence of a material
 uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to
 continue as a going concern which is dependent on the Company
 continuing its business operations, establishing profitable operations
 and obtaining continuing financial support from its shareholders. These
 mitigating factors have been more fully disclosed in Note 24 to the
 financial statements in view of which the accompanying financial
 statements have been prepared on going concern assumption, and
 consequently, no adjustments have been made to the same in this regard.
 We are unable to comment on the consequential effects, if any, on the
 financial statements, arising from the above.
 
 4.  The Company has received an Income tax demand of Rs 52,921,630
 which has been disputed by the Company. The Company has filed an appeal
 before higher authority and has also been legally advised that the
 possibility of the matter being decided against the Company and the
 demand crystallizing is not likely. The ultimate outcome of the matter
 cannot presently be determined, and no provision for any liability that
 may result has been made in the financial statements. Based on the
 foregoing, we are unable to comment on the impact, if any, of this
 matter on the financial statements.
 
 5.  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.
