Report on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Satra
Properties (India) Limited ("the Company") which comprise the balance
sheet as at 31 March 2013, the statement of profit and loss and the
cash flow statement for the year then ended and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
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.
Auditors'' 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 includes performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditors'' 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 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 qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As more fully explained in Note 39 to the financial statements,
construction work-in-progress of a project included construction cost
of Rs. 157,974,510 arising out of a significant change in the structural
plan of the project in the year ended 31 March 2009. In accordance with
the provisions of Accounting Standard  2, "Inventories", such
construction costs should have been charged to the statement of profit
and loss for the year ended 31 March 2009. During the year ended 31
March 2013, the Company has recognized revenue from this project as a
result of which the cost of construction recognized in the statement of
profit and loss includes Rs. 21,907,491 of construction cost incorrectly
capitalised in an earlier year, resulting in an understatement of
profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2013 by Rs. 14,440,658.
Consequently, the construction work-in-progress and the surplus in the
statement of profit and loss continue to be overstated by Rs. 58,531,369
as at 31 March 2013.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the
financial statements give the information required by the Act in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(i) in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2013;
(ii) in the case of statement of profit and loss, of the profit of the
Company for the year ended on that date; and
(iii) in the case of cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 42 to the
financial statements. As more fully explained therein, as per Circular
No. 4/2013 dated 11 February 2013 ("the Circular") issued by the
Government of India, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company has not
separately deposited or invested an amount of at least Rs. 77,460,000
being 15% of the amount of its debentures maturing within 1 year in
specified deposits or investments as per the Circular, as specified in
note 42 to the financial statements. The ultimate outcome of any
possible penal consequences on this matter cannot presently be
determined and, accordingly, no provision that may result due to
non-compliance with the requirements of the Circular has been made in
the financial statements.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

We have audited the attached balance sheet of Satra Properties (India)
Limited ('the Company') as at 31 March 2012 and the statement of
profit and loss and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that
date, annexed thereto. 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.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
We report as follows:
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003
('the Order') issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 ('the
Act'), we enclose in the Annexure, a statement on the matters
specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
2. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
report that:
(a) we have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of
our audit;
(b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of
those books;
(c) the balance sheet, the statement of profit and loss and the cash
flow statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the
books of account;
(d) in our opinion, except as stated in paragraphs (f) and (g) below,
the balance sheet, the statement of profit and loss and the cash flow
statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting
Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Act;
(e) on the basis of the written representations received from the
directors of the Company as of 31 March 2012 and taken on record by the
Board of Directors, we report that none of the directors is
disqualified as on 31 March 2012 from being appointed as a director in
terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Act;
(f) As more fully explained in Note 41 to the financial statements,
construction work-in-progress of a project included construction cost
of Rs. 157,974,510 arising out of a significant change in the structural
plan of the project in the year ended 31 March 2009. In accordance with
the provisions of Accounting Standard - 2, "Inventories", such
construction costs should have been charged to the statement of profit
and loss for the year ended 31 March 2009. During the year ended 31
March 2012, the Company has recognized revenue from this project as a
result of which the cost of construction recognized in the statement of
profit and loss includes Rs. 77,535,650for the year, resulting in an
understatement of profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2012 by
Rs. 51,108,850. Consequently, the construction work-in-progress and the
surplus in the statement of profit and loss continues to be overstated
by Rs. 80,438,860 as at 31 March 2012;
(g) As more fully explained in Note 43 to the financial statements, in
view of certain recent judicial pronouncements, the Company is required
to pay Value Added Tax ('VAT') on sale of residential/commercial
properties to the relevant authorities. The Company is currently in the
process of ascertaining the exact applicability of these
pronouncements, especially in respect of tax rate applicable,
contractual ability to collect VAT from past and current customers and
the mechanism of collection and payment of VAT to the government
authorities. The Company is required to record the VAT collectable from
customers and the VAT payable to the government authorities, and the
VAT which is deemed to be not-collectable from its past and current
customers needs to be charged to the statement ofprofit and loss.
Pending quantification of the VAT collectable from customers, the VAT
payable to the government authorities, and the VAT to be charged to the
statement of profit and loss, we are unable to comment the impact of
the same on the balance of trade receivables and other current
liabilities as at 31 March 2012, on the rates and taxes and the profit
for the year ended 31 March 2012 and the consequential impact on the
balance in surplus in the statement of profit and loss as at 31 March
2012; and
(h) in our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, subject to the effect of the matter
included in the paragraph (f) above and impact of adjustments required,
if any, in respect of the matter included in the paragraph (g) above,
the said accounts give the information required by the Act, in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India:
i. in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2012;
ii. in the case of the statement of profit and loss, of the profit of
the Company for the year ended on that date; and
iii. in the case of the cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.

statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
We report as follows:
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 (Ãthe

of Rs. 157,974,510 arising out of a significant change in the
structural plan of the project, resulting in over- statement of the
