 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.

 ended, have been audited by branch auditors whose reports have been
 furnished to us and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts
 included in respect of these overseas branches is based solely on their
 reports.

 revenue on sale of products to marketing agents. The quantification and
 evaluation of amounts for products lying unsold cannot be determined.

 investments amounting to Rs.110.33 crores in Rainforest Trading Limited

 c.  We draw attention to Note No.18 of Schedule Q regarding bank
 guarantees amounting to Rs.2.21crores which have been invoked by
 customers during the year with regard to which no provision or
 adjustment has been made as the same is considered good and recoverable
 in the opinion of the management and yet to be realized from the said
 customers as at the Balance Sheet date.

 the said amounts.
