Auditor's Report (Welspun India) Year End : Mar '11
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Welspun India 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 signifcant estimates made
 by Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
 presentaton. 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-secton (4A) of Secton 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 maters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
 
 4.  We draw your attention to Note 7(b) to the financial statements,
 regarding the accounts receivables balance of Rs.  696.02 million
 (March 31, 2010: Rs. 475.93 million) that is due from Welspun Retail
 Limited (WRL), a group company, as at March 31, 2011, in relaton to
 which no valuaton allowance has been estimated and adjusted in these
 financial statements which, in our view, does not meet the requirement
 to consider prudence in selecton 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 atention to:
 
 (a) Note 8 on Schedule 19, regarding the Company''s dependence on
 Welspun Global Brands Limited (‘WGBL'') and WRL for selling its products
 consequent to the demerger of the marketing arm of the Company efective
 April 1, 2009. If the arrangement between the Company, WGBL and WRL are
 discontinued, the business of the Company could be adversely impacted.
 
 (b) Note 9 on Schedule 19, regarding corporate guarantees, aggregating
 Rs. 3,593 million at the year end, issued consequent to the demerger of
 the marketing arm of the Company referred to in paragraph 5 (a) above,
 to the bankers of WGBL in relation to the debt facilities provided by
 them to WGBL, and other corporate guarantees disclosed in Note 3 on
 Schedule 19, aggregating Rs. 5,145.52 million at the year end, issued
 on behalf of WGBL, Welspun USA Inc. (‘WUSA''), Welspun Captive Power
 Generaton Limited (WCPGL), Welspun Mexico SA de CV (WELMEX) and Welspun
 Home Textiles UK limited (‘WHTL''). If WGBL, WUSA, WCPGL and WHTL are
 unable to meet their obligation as they fall due, the financial
 conditon and cash flows of the Company could be adversely impacted.
 
 (c) Note 4 on Schedule 19, regarding the recognition of deferred tax
 assets during the year, aggregating Rs. 303.64 million, on the
 incremental unabsorbed Income-tax depreciation arising out of its
 treatment of certain excise and Value Added Tax incentives as ‘capital
 receipts'' for income tax purposes based on the judgement in re
 Commissioner of Income Tax, Mumbai v/s. Reliance Industries Limited of
 the Honourable High Court of Judicature at Bombay.  However, this case
 has not attained finality as the judgement has been challenged by the
 tax authorities in the apex court. If the final decision in the mater
 is eventually decided against the Company, then the carrying value of
 the deferred tax assets at the period end could be significantly
 impacted.
