Annexure to the auditors report
The Annexure referred to in our report to the members of Infosys
Technologies Limited (the Company) for the year ended 31 March, 2011.
We report that :
(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixd
assets.
(b) The Company has a regular program of physical verification of its
fixed assets by which fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over
a period of three years. In accordance with this program, certain fixed
assets were verified during the year and no material discrepancies were
noticed on such verification. In our opinion, this periodicity of
physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the
Company and the nature of its assets.
(c) Fixed assets disposed of during the year were not substantial, and
therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.
(ii) The Company is a service company, primarily rendering information
technology services. Accordingly, it does not hold any physical
inventories. Thus, paragraph 4 (ii) of the Order is not applicable.
(iii) (a) The Company has granted a loan to a body corporate covered in
the register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956
(the Act). The maximum amount outstanding during the year was Rs.

crore. Other than the above, the Company has not granted any loans,
secured or unsecured, to companies, firms or parties covered in the
register maintained under section 301 of the Act.
(b) In our opinion, the rate of interest and other terms and conditions
on which the loan has been granted to the body corporate listed in the
register maintained under Section 301 of the Act are not, prima facie,
prejudicial to the interest of the Company.
(c) In the case of the loan granted to the body corporate listed in the
register maintained under Section 301 of the Act, the borrower has been
regular in the payment of the interest as stipulated. The terms of
arrangement do not stipulate any repayment schedule and the loan is
repayable on demand. Accordingly, paragraph 4 (iii)(c) of the Order is
not applicable to the Company in respect of repayment of the principal
amount.
(d) There are no overdue amounts of more than rupees one lakh in
respect of the loan granted to a body corporate listed in the register

(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
given to us, there is an adequate internal control system commensurate
with the size of the Company and the nature of its business with regard

during the course of the audit.
