Auditor's Report (SI Group (India)) Year End : Mar '10
We have audited the attached balance sheet of SI Group - India Limited
 (the Company) as at 31 March 2010 and the related profit and loss
 account and cash flow statement for the year 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.
 
 1.  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),
 we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in
 paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 2.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 3 to
 Schedule 20(B) of the financial statements which more fully explains
 that, until the previous year, the Company had capitalized expenses
 which were not attributable to the direct development of the plant. Our
 audit opinion for the previous year was qualified, since such
 capitalization of expenses was not in accordance with the generally
 accepted accounting principles in India. Accordingly, fixed assets were
 overstated by Rs. 820 lakhs, accumulated depreciation was overstated by
 Rs. 139 lakhs and reserves were overstated by Rs. 681 lakhs as at 31
 March 2009 and depreciation and net loss were overstated by Rs. 43
 lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2009. In the current year, the
 Company has written off the balance unamortized capitalized expenses
 amounting to Rs. 662.65 lakhs to the profit and loss account.
 
 3.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
 report that:
 
 (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, 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, 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 the Directors
 as on 31 March 2010, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
 report that none of the Directors is disqualified as on 31 March 2010
 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 financial statements 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 2010;
 
 (ii) in the case of the profit and loss account, of the profit of the
 Company for the year ended on that date; and
 
 (iii) in the case of the cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the
 Company for the year ended on that 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

 Company and the nature of its assets. In accordance with this
 programme, certain fixed assets have been physically verified by
 management during the year. No material discrepancies were noted on
 such verification.
 
 (c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial, and
 therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.

 followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to

 system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
 business with regard to purchase of fixed assets and inventories and
 with regard to the sale of goods and services. We have not observed any
