We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Kesoram Industries Limited, as at 31st March, 2008, 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. |

We have 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. |

As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003, as amended by the Companies (Auditor's Report) (Amendment) Order,
2004, issued by the Central Government of India in terms of Section 227 (4A) 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 further report that : |
| |
|
| 3.1 |
(a) |
The Company has maintained proper records to show full particulars (other than details regarding revaluations made during 1982-83) including quantitative details and situation of its fixed assets.
|
| |
|
|
| |
(b) |
The fixed assets of the Company are physically verified by the management according to phased programmes designed to cover
all the items over a period of three years, which in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the
nature of its assets. Pursuant to such programmes, a portion of the fixed assets have been physically verified by the management
during the year and no material discrepancies between the book records and the physical inventory have been noticed. |
| |
|
|
| |
(c) |
In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, a substantial part of fixed assets has not been
disposed off by the Company during the year. |
| |
|
|
| 3.2 |
(a) |
The inventories (excluding stocks with third parties and those in transit) have been physically verified by the management during
the year. In respect of inventory lying with third parties, these have substantially been confirmed by them. In our opinion, the
frequency of physical verification is reasonable. |
| |
|
|
| |
(b) |
In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in
relation to the size of the Company and nature of its business. |
| |
|
|
| |
(c) |
On the basis of our examination of the inventory records, in our opinion, the Company has maintained proper records of
inventories other than work-in-process. As in earlier years, work-in-process has been determined by the management on the basis
of physical verification as mentioned in paragraph 3.2 (a) above. The discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventory
as compared to book records were not material. |
| |
|
|
| 3.3 |
The Company has neither granted nor taken during the year any loans, secured or unsecured, to/ from companies, firms or other parties
covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. |
| |
|
| 3.4 |
In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, having regard to the explanation that certain items
purchased are of special nature for which suitable alternative sources do not exist for obtaining comparative quotations, there is an
adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business for the purchase of
inventory, fixed assets and for the sale of goods. The Company has not provided any service during the year. Further, on the basis of
our examination of the books and records of the Company, and according to the information and explanations given to us, we have
neither come across nor have we been informed of any continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in the aforesaid internal control
system. |
