1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Kidde India Limited
(theCompany) as at March 31, 2009, and the related Profit and Loss
Account and Cash Flow Statement for the period from January 1, 2008 to
March 31, 2009 annexed thereto, which we have signed under reference to
this report. 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.
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
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 the 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 (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, as
amended by the Companies (Auditors 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 give in the Annexure a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
Order.
4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to Note 14
on Schedule 19, regarding the appropriateness of the going concern
basis used for the preparation of these Accounts because the net-worth
of the Company has been eroded as at March 31, 2009, and the validity
of the going concern basis would depend upon the continuance of the
existing support by Kidde International Limited, U.K, the holding
company. The Accounts do not include adjustments that would result from
discontinuance of the funding by the holding company.
