 Private Limited (formerly Kyocera Wireless (India) Private Limited) has
 been incorporated with appointed date of April 1, 2010 on its
 amalgamation with the Company as fully explained in note 4 of schedule
 15 to the financial statement]. These financial statements are the
 responsibility of the Companys Management. Our responsibility is to
 express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 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.
 
 As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, as
 amended, by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2004, (the Order)
 issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A)
 of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act), we enclose in
 the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5
 of the said Order.
 
 Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report
 that:
 
 (i) we have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
 best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our
 audit;
 
 (ii) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
 been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of
 those books;
 
 (iii) the balance sheet, the profit and loss account and the cash flow
 statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
 account;
 
 (iv) in our opinion, the balance sheet, the profit and loss account and
 the cash flow statement dealt with by this report comply with the
 Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of
 the Act;
 
 (v) on the basis of written representations received from the directors
 as on March 31, 2011, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
 report that none of the directors is disqualified as at March 31, 2011
 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 274(1)(g) of the
 Act; and

 the explanations given to us, the said accounts give the information
 required by the Act, in the manner so required and give a true and fair
 view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
 India:
 
 (a) in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the
 Company as at March 31, 2011;
 
 (b) in the case of the profit and loss account, of the profit of the

 Annexure to the Auditors Report
 
 The Annexure referred to in the Auditors Report to the members of
 MindTree Limited (the Company) for the year ended March 31, 2011.  We
 report as follows:
 
 1.  a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
 particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
 assets.
 
 b) The Company has a regular programme of physical verification of its
 fixed assets by which fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over
 a period of three years. In our opinion, the periodicity of physical
 verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and
 the nature of its assets. In accordance with this programme, certain
 fixed assets were verified during the year and no material
 discrepancies were observed on such verification.
 
 c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial and
 therefore do not affect the going concern assumption.
 
 2.  The Company is a service company, primarily rendering software
 development services. Accordingly, it does not hold any physical
 inventories. Thus, paragraph 4(ii) of the Order is not applicable.
 
 3.  The Company has neither granted nor taken any loans, secured or
 unsecured to or from companies, firms or other parties covered in the
 register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the
 Act).
 
 4.  In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, and having regard to the explanation that purchase of
 certain items of fixed assets are for the Companys specialized
 requirement and suitable alternative sources are not available to
 obtain comparable quotations, there is an adequate internal control
 system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
 business for purchase of fixed assets and sale of services. The
 activities of the Company do not involve purchase of inventory and the
 sale of goods. We have not observed any major weakness in the internal
 control system during the course of the audit.
 
 5.  a) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, the particulars of contracts or arrangements referred to
 in Section 301 of the Act have been entered in the register required to
 be maintained under that section.
 
 b) In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, the transactions made in pursuance of contracts and
 arrangements referred to in (a) above and exceeding the value of rupees
 five lakhs with each party during the year have been made at prices
 which are reasonable having regard to the prevailing market prices at
 the relevant time except for purchase of certain items of fixed assets
 which are for the Companys specialized requirements and for which
 suitable alternative sources are not available to obtain comparable
 quotations. However, on the basis of information and explanations
 provided, the same appear reasonable.
 
 6.  The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public.
 
 7.  In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system
 commensurate with the size and nature of its business.
 
 8.  The Central Government of India has not prescribed the maintenance
 of cost records under Section 209(1) (d) of the Act for any of the
 services rendered by the Company.
 
 9.  a) According to the information and explanations given to us and on
 the basis of our examination of the records of the Company, amounts
 deducted/ accrued in the books of account in respect of undisputed
 statutory dues including Provident Fund, Income- tax, Sales-tax,
 Service tax, Customs duty, Cess and other material statutory dues have
 been generally regularly deposited during the year by the Company with
 the appropriate authorities. As explained to us, the Company did not
 have any dues on account of Employees State Insurance, Wealth tax,
 Excise duty and Investor Education and Protection Fund.
 
 There were no dues on account of Cess under Section 441A of the Act
 since the date from which the aforesaid section comes into force has
 not yet been notified by the Central Government of India.
 
 b) According to the information and explanations given to us, no
 undisputed amounts payable in respect of Provident Fund, Income tax,
 Sales tax, Service tax, Customs duty, Cess and other material statutory
 dues were in arrears as at March 31, 2011 for a period of more than six
 months from the date they became payable.
