Auditor's Report (Punj Lloyd) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Punj Lloyd Limited
 (''the Company'') as at March 31, 2011 and also the profit and Loss
 account and the cash fl ow statement for the year ended on that date
 annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of
 the Company''s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
 on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 2.  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 fi
 nancial 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.
 
 3.  As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (as
 amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
 sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
 in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4
 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 4.  We did not audit the financial statements of certain branches of
 the Company, whose financial statements (net of eliminations) refl ect
 total assets of Rs. 25,733,173 thousand as at March 31, 2011, total
 revenue of Rs. 13,273,095 thousand and cash fl ows amounting to Rs.
 2,025,443 thousand for the year then ended. We also did not audit the
 financial statements of certain unincorporated joint ventures of the
 Company, whose financial statements (net of eliminations) refl ect, to
 the extent of the proportionate share of the Company, total assets of
 Rs. 1,160,918 thousand as at March 31, 2011, total revenue of Rs.
 1,979,803 thousand and cash fl ows amounting to Rs. 373,499 thousand
 for the year then ended.  These financial statements and other fi
 nancial information of branches and unincorporated joint ventures not
 audited by us have been audited by other auditors whose reports have
 been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the
 amounts included for such branches and unincorporated joint ventures,
 is based solely on the report of other auditors.
 
 5.  (a) Attention is invited to note 30 of schedule ''M'' to the fi
 nancial statements. The Company during the previous year had taken
 credit for a claim of Rs. 2,430,300 thousand on a contract and had also
 not accounted for liquidated damages amounting to Rs. 654,891 thousand
 deducted by the customer in view of the reasons stated in the said
 note. Further, there are other debtors outstanding of Rs. 844,527
 thousand and unbilled work in progress inventory of Rs. 1,603,397
 thousand relating to the said contract as at March 31, 2011. Due to the
 uncertainty over ultimate collection of the said amounts, we are unable
 to comment on the same. Our previous year ended March 31, 2010 audit
 report was also qualified in respect of the same matter.
 
 (b) Attention is invited to note 31 of schedule ''M'' to the financial
 statements. The Company during the year has taken credit for a claim of
 Rs. 897,346 thousand on two contracts, which are pending acceptance by
 the customers. Due to the uncertainty over ultimate collection of the
 said amounts, we are unable to comment on the same.
 
 6.  As stated in note 19 of schedule ''M'' to the financial statements,
 due to civil and political disturbances and unrest in Libya, the work
 on all the projects in Libya has stopped. There are aggregate assets of
 Rs. 9,909,622 thousand, aggregate revenues of Rs. 1,954,565 thousand,
 profits before tax of Rs. 96,816 thousand and cash fl ows of
 Rs.1,803,620 thousand for the year then ended in Libya Branch, which
 have been audited by another auditor in Libya. However, we were unable
 to perform certain procedures that we considered necessary under the
 requirements of Statement on Auditing SA600 (Using the work of another
 auditor) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India,
 including obtaining corroborative information and/ or audit evidence,
 in relation to certain components of financial statements of Libya
 Branch. The ultimate outcome of above matters cannot presently be
 ascertained in view of the uncertainty as stated above. Accordingly, we
 are unable to comment on the consequential effects of the foregoing on
 the financial statements.
 
 7.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 11 (a) of
 schedule ''M'' to the financial statements regarding deductions made/
 amounts withheld by some customers aggregating to Rs. 725,128 thousand
 on various accounts which are being carried as sundry debtors. Due to
 dispute and other pending matters with the customers, the ultimate
 outcome of the above matters cannot presently be determined although
 the Company is of the view that such amounts are recoverable and hence
 no provision is required there against.
 
 8.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
 report that:
 
 i.  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;
 
 ii.  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 and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit
 have been received from branches and unincorporated joint ventures not
 visited by us except to the extent stated in paragraph 6 above. The
 branches and unincorporated joint ventures Auditor''s Reports have been
 forwarded to us and have been appropriately dealt with;
 
 iii. The balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash fl ow
 statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
 account and with the audited returns from the branches and
 unincorporated joint ventures;
 
 iv.  In our opinion, the balance sheet, profit and loss account and
 cash fl ow statement dealt with by this report comply with the
 accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of
 the Companies Act, 1956, except to the extent of our comments in
 paragraph 5 above.
 
 v.  On the basis of the written representations received from the
 directors, as on March 31, 2011, and taken on record by the Board of
 Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
 March 31, 2011 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause
 (g) of sub- section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956.
 
 vi.  Without considering our observations in paragraph 5 and 6 above,
 the impact whereof on the Company''s profits is not presently
 ascertainable, in our opinion and on consideration of reports of other
 auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial
 information and to the best of our information and according to the
 explanations given to us, the said accounts give the information
 required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and give
 a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
 generally accepted in India.

 alternate sources do not exist for obtaining quotations thereof, there
 is an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of

 management, we are of the opinion that the particulars of contracts or
 arrangements referred to in section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956,
 that need to be entered into the register maintained under section 301
 have been so entered.
 
 (b) In respect of transactions made in pursuance of such contracts or
 arrangements exceeding the value of Rupees five lakhs entered into
 during the financial year, because of the unique and specialized
 nature of the items involved, no comparison of prices paid can be made
 with prevailing market prices at the relevant time.

 commensurate with the size and nature of its business.

 regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities though there have
 been slight delays in a few cases.
 
 Further, since the Central Government has till date not prescribed the
 amount of cess payable under section 441 A 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.
