Gentlemen,

AUDIT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE _______

You have requested that we audit the balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, _____ and the
related profit and loss account, statements of cash flows and changes in equity for the period/year then
ending. We are pleased to confirm our acceptance and our understanding of this engagement by means
of this letter.

1. Audit

1.1 We will conduct our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards as applicable in Pakistan with the
objective of expressing an opinion whether the financial statements conform with approved accounting
standards as applicable in Pakistan, and, give the information required by the Companies Ordinance,
1984, in the manner so required and respectively give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s
affairs as at June 30, ______ and of the profit, its cash flows and changes in equity for the period/year
then ended. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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.

1.2 Our report will be addressed to the Board of Directors of the Company. We cannot provide assurance
that an unqualified opinion will be rendered, since circumstances may arise in which it would be
necessary for us to modify our report or withdraw from the engagement. In such circumstances, our
findings or reasons for withdrawal will be communicated to the Board of Directors.

1.3 In view of the test nature and other inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations
of any accounting and internal control system, there is an unavoidable risk that even some material
misstatements may remain undiscovered.

1.4 In addition to our report on the financial statements, we expect to provide you with a separate letter
concerning any material weaknesses in accounting and internal control systems, which come to our
notice. The extent to which we examine internal controls, and hence have the opportunity to observe
weaknesses, is impacted by our determination of the most efficient audit approach. We are not required
by auditing standards to make an examination of internal controls beyond that which we make in
determining the nature, extent and timing of our other audit procedures, and we have not been engaged
to report on the Company’s internal control structure.

1.5 The Company will make available to us all records, documentation, and information including minutes of
all Management and Board of Directors’ meetings we request in connection with our audit, that all
material information will be disclosed to us, and that we will have the full cooperation of the Company’s
personnel.

1.6 The responsibility for the preparation of financial statements including adequate disclosures is that of the
management of the Company. This includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records and
internal controls, the selection and application of accounting policies, and the safeguarding of the assets
of the Company. Management is also responsible for identifying and ensuring that the Company
complies with laws and regulations applicable to its activities. As part of our audit process, we will request
from management written confirmation concerning representations made to us in connection with the
audit.

1.7 In addition, ISA 240, “The Auditor’s Responsibility to Consider Fraud and Error in an Audit of Financial
Statements”, requires that we obtain specific written representations from management that:

(a) it acknowledges its responsibility for the implementation and operations of accounting and internal
control systems that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error;

(b) it believes the effects of those uncorrected financial statement misstatements aggregated by us
during the audit are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements
taken as a whole;

(c) it has disclosed to us all significant facts relating to any frauds or suspected frauds known to
management that may have affected the entity; and

(d) it has disclosed to us the results of its assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be
materially misstated as a result of fraud.

These specific items will be included in our request for written confirmation concerning representations
made to us in connection with the audit.
