 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial presentation.
 We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 matters specified in paragraphs4and5ofthe said Order.
 
 Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report

 7.a. As stated in Accounting Policy No. 3.0 on Valuation of
 Inventories, Manufactured items and items lying as Work in Progress are
 valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. However in
 Bangalore plant stocks amounting to Rs. 15.74 Crores have been carried
 at cost due to difficulty in ascertaining the Net Realisable Value. We
 are unable to ascertain the quantum of reduction in the value of
 inventory if any and consequent impact on the financial statements.
 
 7.. The Company has not provided for a sum of Rs. 26.85 Crores being

 understatement of Loss and Current Liabilities to the extent of Rs.
 26.85 Crores.

 recoverable, loans & advances, deposits, goods with third parties and

 7.e. The Company has not provided for interest on royalty payable to
 C-DOT. (Refer Note no.7)
 
 7.f. The impact of the observation in Para 7b has resulted in
 understatement of loss and understatement of liabilities to the extent
 of Rs.  26.85 Crores.
 
 The impact of the observations in Para 7a and Para''s 7c to 7e if any on
 financial statements is not ascertainable.
 
 Subject to the effect on the financial statements of the matters

 of our information and according to explanations given to us, the
