 Annexure referred to in paragraph [3] of our report of even date
 Re: Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone Limited (the Company)
 
 (i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
 particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
 assets.
 
 (b) The fixed assets are physically verified by the management
 according to a phased programme designed to cover all the items over a
 period of three years which in our opinion is reasonable having regard
 to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets.  Pursuant to
 the programme, a portion of the fixed assets have been physically
 verified by the management during the year and no material
 discrepancies were noticed on such verification.
 
 (c) There was no substantial disposal of fixed assets during the year.
 
 (ii) (a) The inventory of stores and spare parts, fuel and lubricants
 has been physically verified by management during the year. In our
 opinion, the frequency of such physical verification is reasonable.
 
 (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) As informed, 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 clause (iii) (b), (c) and (d) of the
 Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (as amended), are not
 applicable to the Company.
 
 (e) As informed, 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 clause (iii) (f) and (g) of the
 Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (as amended), are not
 applicable to the Company.
 
 (iv) Part of the Companys purchases of fixed assets and sale of
 services are stated to be of unique and 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. During the course of our audit, we have not observed any
 continuing failure to correct major weakness in internal control system
 of the company.
 
 (v) According to the information and explanations provided by the
 management, we are of the opinion that there are no particulars of
 contracts or arrangements that need to be entered into the register
 maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956.
 
 (vi) The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public.
 
 (vii) In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system
 commensurate with the size and nature of its business.
 
 (viii) As the Company does not manufacture any products, the provisions
 of clause (viii) of the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (as
 amended) regarding maintenance of cost records under clause (d) of
 sub-section (1) of section 209 of the Companies Act, 1956 are not
 applicable.
 
 (ix) (a) The Company is regular in depositing with appropriate
 authorities undisputed statutory dues including provident fund,
 investor education and protection fund, employees state insurance,
 income-tax, sales-tax, wealth-tax, service tax, customs duty, excise
 duty, cess and other material statutory dues applicable to it.
 
 Further, since the Central Government has till date not prescribed the
 amount of cess payable under section 441A 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.
 
 (b) According to the information and explanations given to us, no
 undisputed amounts payable in respect of provident fund, investor
 education and protection fund, employees state insurance, income-tax,
 wealth-tax, service tax, sales-tax, customs duty, excise duty, cess and
 other undisputed statutory dues were outstanding, at the year end, for
 a period of more than six months from the date they became payable.
