Annexure referred to in paragraph [3]of our report of even date Re:
Lumax Industries Limited (the Company)
(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets.
(b) All fixed assets have not been physically verified by the
management during the year but there is a regular programme of
verifying them once in three years which, in our opinion, is reasonable
having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets.
As informed, no material discrepancies were noticed on such
verification.
(c) There was no disposal of a substantial part of fixed assets during
the year.
(ii) (a) The management has conducted physical verification of
inventory at reasonable intervals during the year.
(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventory followed by
the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of
the Company and the nature of its business.
(c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory and no
material discrepancies were noticed on physical verification.
(iii) (a) According to the information and explanations given to us,
the Company has not granted any loans, secured or unsecured to
companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained
under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. Accordingly, the
provisions of clauses 4(iii)(a) to (d) of the Companies (Auditors
Report) Order, 2003 (as amended) are not applicable to the Company.
(e) According to the information and explanations given to us, the
Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured from companies,
firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under section
301 of the Companies Act, 1956. Accordingly, the provisions of clauses
4(iii)(e) to (iii)(g) of the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003
(as amended) are not applicable to the Company and hence not commented
upon.
(iv) The Companys major purchases of inventory and fixed assets and
major sales of components are stated to be of proprietary/ specialized
nature, and hence, in such cases, the comparison of prices with the
market rates or with purchases from/ sales to other parties cannot be
made. Read with the above, 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, for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for
the sale of goods and services. The clause relating to sale of services
is not applicable to the Company. During the course of our audit, no
major weakness has been noticed in the internal control system in
respect of these areas and accordingly the question on commenting on
whether there is a continuing failure to correct major weakness in the
internal control system of the Company does not arise.
(v) (a) According to the information and explanations provided by the
management, we are of the opinion that the particulars of contracts or
arrangements referred to in section 301 of the Act that need to be
entered into the register maintained under section 301 have been so
entered.
(b) In respect of transactions made in pursuance of such contracts or
arrangements and exceeding value of Rupees five lakhs entered into
during the financial year, as informed, because of the unique and
specialized nature of the items involved and absence of any comparable
prices, we are unable to comment whether the transactions were made at
prevailing market prices at the relevant time.

(vii) In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system
commensurate with the size and nature of its business.

regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities though there has
been a slight delay in a few cases.
Further, since the Central Governent has till date not prescribed the
amount of cess payable under section 441 A of the Companies Act,1956,
we are not in a position to comment upon the regularity or otherwise of
the company in depositing the same.

undisputed amounts payable in respect of provident fund, investor
education and protection fund, employees state insurance, income-tax,
