| 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
