We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit
evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports
referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of the Other Matters paragraph below,

Crore) also, the Company current liabilities exceeded its current

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
