 I Fixed Assets:
 
 a.  The company has maintained proper records showing full particulars,
 including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets on the
 basis of available information.
 
 b.  As explained, all the fixed assets have not been physically
 verified by the management during the year, but a major portion of the
 fixed assets have been physically verified by the management, as per
 their verification programme. In my opinion, the frequency of
 verification of those fixed assets by the management is reasonable
 having regard to the size of the Company and nature of its assets. To
 the best of my knowledge, no material discrepancies were noticed on
 such verification.
 
 c.  In my opinion and according to the information and explanations
 provided, no substantial part of the fixed assets has been disposed off

 2 Inventory:
 
 a.  As per the explanations and information provided, the management
 has not conducted physical verification of all the inventory during the
 year, but a major portion of the inventory has been verified as per the
 managements verification programme. In my opinion, having regard, to
 the nature of the Companys business the frequency of verification is
 reasonable.

 inventories followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in

 transactions with one Company-UCT Coatings Pvt. Ltd.  covered in the
 Register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. The
 Company has advanced Rs.  312.40 lacs towards investment in Equity to
 UCT Coatings Pvt. Ltd, taken Rs. 628.95 lacs from the same company
 towards project advance and the company also maintains current account
 transactions with the same company- closing balance Dr- Rs 21,23,965/-.
 The terms and conditions of these advances are such that either the end
 utilization of the amount involved is fixed for specific purposes or
 are long term in nature or are current account transactions; hence no
 repayment or interest stipulations have been adhered to. The terms and
 conditions of the transactions prima facie does not appear to be
 prejudicial to the interest of the company.
 
 4.  Internal Control System:
 
 In my opinion and according to the information and explanations given
 to me, having regard to the explanation that for the purchase of gold,
 being an integral and high value inventory item and also considering
 the high quality aspect maintained by the Company for its services
 rendered, the Company has certain fixed sources/vendors for the
 purchase of gold, for re-moulding of used gold bars and for recovery of
 gold, and the market being customer driven the sale prices of articles
 vary from customer to customer and from process to process. There are
 certain cases wherein lapses in the internal control system have been
 observed which are not capable of precise quantification.
 
 Subject to the above, 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 services. -
 
 Further, on the basis of my examination and according to the
 information and explanations given, during the course of the audit,
 subject to the foregoing I have not observed any continuing failure to
 correct major weakness in internal control system.

 time.
 
 6.  Public Deposits:
 
 The company has not accepted any deposits from the public within the
 meaning of the provisions of section 58A and 58AA or any other relevant
 provisions of the Act and the Rules framed thereunder.
 
 7.  Internal Audit System:
 
 Based on the information and explanations provided, no internal audit
 has been conducted during the current financial year and in my opinion,
 there has not been an adequate internal audit system commensurate with
 its size and nature of its business.

 has not prescribed maintenance of cost records under section 209(1) (d)
