"Company") as at 31st March, 2012, and the related Statement of
Profit and Loss 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.

records of the Company as we considered appropriate and according to
the information and explanations given to us, we give in the Annexure a

insurance company towards loss of certain items of inventory due to
fire during the year ended 31st March, 2011, in spite of the awaited
approval of the insurance claim and uncertainties as to the amount that
may be approved by the insurance company; 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". Had the aforesaid insurance claim not been recognised in
keeping with the consideration of prudence, Other Income would have
been Rs 113.82 lakhs instead of the reported amount of Rs 659.82 lakhs,
profit before tax for the year would have been Rs 2,217.27 lakhs instead
of the reported amount of Rs2,763.27 lakhs, current tax for the year
would have been Rs 754.85 lakhs instead of the reported amount of Rs 932
lakhs, profit after tax for the year would have been Rs 1,524.68 lakhs
instead of the reported amount of Rs1,893.53 lakhs, earnings per share
(basic and diluted) would have been Rs58.27 instead of the reported
