 Company) as at March 31, 2011, and the related Profit and Loss
 Account and Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed
 thereto, which we have signed under reference to this report. 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.
 
 2.  We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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.

 verified by the Management during the year and no material
 discrepancies between the book records and the physical inventory have
 been noticed.
