Auditor's Report (Simplex Infrastructures) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Simplex
 Infrastructures Limited (the Company”) as at 31st March 2011, and the
 related Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement for the year
 ended on that date annexed thereto, which we have signed under
 reference to this report.  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 the auditing standards
 generally accepted in India. Tose 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.
 
 3.  As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003, as
 amended by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) (Amendment) Order, 2004
 (together the Order”) issued by the Central Government of India in
 terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of ‘the Companies Act, 1956''
 of India (the ‘Act'') and on the basis of such checks of the books and
 records of the Company as we considered appropriate and according to
 the information and explanations given to us, we further report that:
 
 3.1 (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
 particulars, including quantitative details and situation, of fixed
 assets.
 
 (b) The fixed assets are physically verified by the Management according
 to a phased programme designed to cover all the items over a period of
 three years which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the
 size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Pursuant to the
 programme, a portion of the fixed assets has been physically verified by
 the Management during the year and no material discrepancies between
 the book records and the physical inventory have been noticed.
 
 (c) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, a substantial part of fixed assets has not been disposed of
 by the Company during the year.

 In respect of inventory lying with third parties, these have
 substantially been confirmed by them. In our opinion, the frequency of
 verifcation is reasonable.

 discrepancies noticed on physical verifcation of inventory as compared
 to book records were not material.
