| Auditor's Report (Numech Emballage) | Year End : Mar '09 |
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of NUMECH EMBALLAGE LIMITED
as at the close of 31 st March, 2009 and also the Profit and Loss
Account of the Company for the year ended on ^ that date attached
thereto. 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 have conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. These 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 the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
1. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 issued by
the Central Government of India in terms of Section 227(4A) of the
Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as we considered
appropriate, we give in the Annexure a statement on the matters
specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
2 We draw attention to note 1 (I) in the notes to Accounts [Schedule
N]. The Company has incurred a net loss before tax of Rs. 6,86,430.00

Current Liabilities exceeded the Current Assets by Rs. 1,83,294.44 and
its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by Rs. 7,02,08,138.13.
These factors alongwith other matters as set forth in clauses 1 and 2
in the notes to accounts [Schedule N] and comments given in clause 2
[a] below, raise substantial doubts that the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern.

loss in the absence of any reliable source of information to ascertain
the same.
