We have audited the attached balance sheet of Pfizer Limited (the
 Company) as at 31 March 2011 and also the related profit and loss
 account and cash flow statement of the Company for the sixteen months
 period ended on that date, annexed 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 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 (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)

 paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report

 a) 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;
 
 b) 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;
 
 c) 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;
 
 d) 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;
 
 e) on the basis of written representations received from directors of
 the Company as at 31 March 2011 and taken on record by the Board of
 Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
 31 March 2011 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g)
 of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Act; and
 
 f) in our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to
 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:
 
 i) in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the
 Company as at 31 March 2011;
 
 ii) in the case of the profit and loss account, of the profit of the

 Annexure to the Auditors Report 31 March 2011
 (Referred to in our audit report of even date)
 
 (i) (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 all fixed assets are verified in a phased manner
 over a period of three years. In our opinion, this periodicity of
 physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the
 Company and the nature of its assets. In accordance with this program,
 certain fixed assets were physically verified by the management during
 the period.  No material discrepancies were noticed on such
 verification.
 
 (c) Fixed assets disposed off during the period were not substantial
 and therefore do not affect the going concern assumption.
 
 (ii) (a) The inventory, except stocks lying with third parties, has
 been physically verified by the management during the period. In our
 opinion, the frequency of such verification is reasonable.  All stocks
 lying with third parties at the period- end have been confirmed.
 
 (b) The procedures for the 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.

 given to us, and having regard to the explanation that purchases 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 with regard

 sale of goods and services. In our opinion and according to the
 information and explanations given to us, there is no continuing
 failure to correct major weaknesses in internal controls.
