LTD.("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 "the Act"). This responsibility includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to
the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give
a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to
obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the Company''s preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
