Annexure to the Auditors Report (Referred to in paragraph 3 of our
report of even date)
In terms of the information and explanations given to us and the books
and records examined by us and on the basis of such checks as we
considered appropriate, we further report as under:
(i) As explained to us, the Company is still in the process of updating
its Fixed Assets Register to show full particulars, including
quantitative details and situation of fixed assets. As explained to us,
these fixed assets have been physically verified by the management at
reasonable intervals during the year and that no material discrepancies
were noticed on such verification.
No significant part of fixed assets has been disposed off by the
Company during the year under review.
(ii) There was no inventory with the Company at any time during the
year under review.
(iii) The Company has taken (interest-free) unsecured loans/deposits
from 5 (five) bodies corporate and other loans (interest bearing)
routed through an individual, all being the parties covered in the
register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. The
maximum balance outstanding at any time during the year in respect of
the said loans / deposits was Rs. 636.61 Lacs and the balance as at the
end of the year was Rs. 515.16 Lacs. Also, during the year Company has
repaid Rs. 91.83 Lacs to 2 (two) of the aforesaid parties.
In our opinion, the rate of interest wherever applicable and other
terms and conditions in respect of the above loans / deposits were not
prima-facie prejudicial to the interests of the Company. In our
opinion, the Company is generally regular in re-payment of interest as
well as the principal in respect of the aforesaid loans. There were no
overdue principal or interest in respect of the same as at the close of
the year.
In respect of other loans / deposits, we were explained that the same
are repayable on demand. Due to the above reason, there cannot be any
overdue element in respect of the same at any time during the year.
The Company has not granted any loans to the parties listed in the
Register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 during
the year under review.
(iv) In our opinion, there are internal control procedures for the
provision of services by the Company. However, the same need to be
further strengthened to make them adequate and commensurate with the
size of the Company and the nature of its business. There has been no
purchase of inventory or sale of goods by the Company during the year
under review. Also, during our review, we have not come across any
major weaknesses in the internal controls.

(vi) The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public within
the purview of the directives issued by the Reserve Bank of India and
the provisions of Sections 58A and 58AA of the Companies Act, 1956 and
the rules framed there under. As per the opinion obtained by the
Company, certain unsecured loans accepted by the Company in the earlier
years from a bank were continued to be routed through the accounts of
the respective individual in whose name they were obtained, for
administrative reasons and therefore, the said loans are outside the
purview of the scope of Section 58-A of the Companies Act, 1956.

1st April 2006. Upon perusal of the report submitted by the said

be substantially strengthened to make it commensurate with the size of
the Company and nature of its business.

prescribed by the Central Government for the Company under Section
