Auditor's Report (Welspun Global Brands) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Welspun Global Brands
 Limited (the Company) as at March 31, 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. 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.
 
 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 give in the Annexure a
 statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
 
 4.  We draw your attention to Note 4(a) on Schedule 19, regarding: (a)
 investments in a subsidiary, Welspun Retail Limited (WRL),
 aggregating Rs. 499.63 million as at the year end, in relation to which
 diminution in the value of investments, which in our view is other than
 temporary, has not been estimated and adjusted against the aforesaid
 reported investments balance; resulting in non-compliance with
 Accounting Standard 13 - Accounting for Investments; and (b) unsecured
 loans to WRL, aggregating Rs. 134.65 million as at the year end, which
 have been converted to preference shares subsequent to the year end as
 stated in Note 4 (b) on Schedule 19, in relation to which valuation
 allowance has not been estimated and adjusted against the aforesaid
 reported unsecured loans balance; which does not meet the requirement
 to consider prudence in selection of accounting policies, as set out in
 Accounting Standard 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies; as WRL has
 been incurring significant losses (Rs. 199.73 million for the year
 ended March 31, 2011 and Rs. 1,205.96 million as at March 31, 2011
 basis its audited financial statements as of and for the year ended
 March 31, 2011) and has also been unable to achieve its projected
 financial results in the previous and current financial reporting
 periods.
 
 5.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to:
 
 (a) Note 5 on Schedule 19, regarding the Company''s dependence on
 Welspun India Limited (''WIL'') for procuring its products. If the
 arrangement between the Company and WIL is discontinued, the business
 of the Company could be adversely impacted.
 
 (b) Note 6 on Schedule 19, regarding corporate guarantees, aggregating
 Rs. 5,887.40 million at the year end, issued consequent to the demerger
 of the marketing arm of WIL effective April 1, 2009, to the bankers of
 WIL in relation to the debt facilities provided by them to WIL, and
 other corporate guarantees disclosed in Note 3 on Schedule 19
 aggregating Rs. 1,677 million at the year end, issued on behalf of WIL
 and Welspun Retail Limited (WRL). If WIL and WRL are unable to meet
 their obligations as they fall due, the financial condition and cash
 flows of the Company could be adversely impacted.
 
 6.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph 3

 explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were
