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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

As per the guidelines laid down in scheme of BIFR, Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (MDRS), it has been stipulated that this sum shall be written off in 5 equal annual installments. Accordingly, during the current financial year, a sum of the Rs.61.49 lakhs has been written off on pro- rata basis.

The Company''s records indicate that, had the management reduced the amount written back from the value of concerned asset, the profit would have reduced to losses for the year at Rs.247.47 lakhs.

II Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph I 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 purpose of our audit.

(b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the company so far as appears from our examination of the books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit have been received from the branches not visited by us.

(f) As per the Notification No. GSR. 829 (e) dated 21.10.2003 issued by the Central Government clause(G) of sub-section(l) of Section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956, is not applicable to the Government Company and hence we offer no comment as to whether any of the Directors are disqualified from being appointed as the Directors in terms of the said section.

(g) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts read together with the Accounts Policies and Notes to Accounts annexed to this report, give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956 in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Accounting Principles generally accepted in India subject to the following qualifications.

i. Regarding Sundry Debtors / Sundry Creditors.

Sundry Debtors /Sundry Creditors are subject to confirmation by the parties.

ii. Regarding Valuation of CERs as Closing Stock

With regard to CERs (Carbon Emission Reduc- tions), they are the Credits issued by UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) to the company for successful reduction /incineration of R-23 gas.R-23 gas falls in the list of gases having potential of global warming and is eligible category of Carbon Credits as per the KYOTO Protocol. Hence the company is eligible for claiming Carbon Credits after the incineration of the R-23 gas. This asset is of Intangible in nature but is treated as current asset (Closing Stock) in the financial statements which is against the accepted accounting practice. During the current financial year 2010-11, UNFCCC confirmed 420793 CERs to the company in its site (www.unfccc.int) after deducting 2% i.e., 8587.62 CERs as adaptation fund deduction. Of the above CERs received, the company had transferred 210652 CERs as instalments payment to SRF Ltd (BOT contractor) for the Plant and Machinery (CDM Project) as per the agreement entered 14*, August, 2007. After the above outflows of CERs, the company is left with 210142 CERs treated as closing stock. The value of the CERs is taken at Rs. 169706945/- adopting the value of 1 CER in the International Exchange as on 31-03-2011 at 13.07 Euros and taking the Euro value at Rs. 63.05 in terms of INR valued @98% of total value.

As per the Accounting Standard No.2 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the value of stock should be taken at cost or net realizable value whichever is less. In the instant case, the cost of the CERs in books is Rs. 94.32 lacs, however the cost of CERs is taken as nil as the entire cost of Rs.94.32 lacs is absorbed into normal production cost and General expenditure. In view of the above, we are of the opinion that PAT (before Prior period adjustment) Rs.2,20,31,555.38 reported in profit and loss account is over stated to the extent of Rs.2,99,87,120.00 (closing stock of CERs Rs. 16,97,06,945.00 less Opening WIP of CERs Rs.13,97,19,825.00) had the company not valued the CERs as WIP or Stock.The current years PAT would have resulted in a loss of Rs.79,55,564.62. It is pertinent to report that the company is following the same policy of valuing CERs as WIP or Stock since financial year 2008-09. The total affect to the profit & loss account for the past three years 2008-09 to 2010-2011 is Rs. 16,97,06,945.00 (Rs.7,72,04,112.00 in F.Y 2008-09 , Rs.625,15,713.00 in F.Y2009-10 and Rs.2,99,87,120.00 in F.Y 2010-11).AII the past years audit reports are qualified in this matter. Also due to the policy of valuation of closing stock of CERs, followed by company in the year Net Current Assets in balance sheet Rs.4,19,21,328.54 would have resulted in a negative amount of Rs.12,77,85,616.46 and the Profit and Loss figure in the balance sheet under Head Miscellaneous Assets would be Rs.63,73,87,840.32 had this policy not been followed for CERs in the past years also.

However, it is evident as events occurring after the balance sheet that the balance CERs with the company realized an amount of Rs. 17,46,75,544/- to the company on 06-05-2011 in the SBH A/c No.52117754462 vide sale transaction to a party in Europe vide agreement dated 07.04.11 for sale of CERs and the expenditure pertaining to the sale amounted to Rs.87.33 lacs.

iii. Regarding Refurbishment Expenditure:

The Company has incurred Rs.284.14 lakhs as refurbishment expenditure on Plant & Machinery during the Financial Year 2008-09. As per the guidelines laid down in BIFR, Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (MDRS) The amount shall be written off in 5 equal annual instalments as per the BIFR Scheme. Now, in the current financial year, the Company has written off Rs.61.49 lakhs during. This accounting treatment is a deviation from Accounting Standard (AS-6) issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and incorporated as a mandatory accounting standard in Section 211 (3c) of the Companies Act. As per AS-6 as any expenditure incurred for improvement in performance of the Plant & Machinery should be capitalized and depreciated accordingly as per Schedule - XIV applicable to the Company. However the Company is following the guide lines contained in the BIFR's MDRS in this matter deviating from mandatory AS-6 issued by ICAI.

iv. Regarding VRS Expenditure :

An amount of Rs.223.57 lacs had incurred towards VRS payment for 31 employees in accordance with BIFR's Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme(MDRS) in Jan 2009. This amount is amortized and taken to P & L Account over a period of 3 years (Rs.37.26 lacs in 2008- 09, Rs. 74.52 lacs in 2009-2010, Rs.74.52 Lacs in 2010-11 included in Schedule-15) the balance of Rs.37.27 Lacs will be amortised in the next financial year 2011-12. This is in accordance with BIFR's Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (MDRS).The above accounting treatment is a deviation from the Accounting Standard (AS-15) issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and incorporated as a mandatory accounting standard in Section 211 (3c) of the Companies Act. As per AS-15 VRS expenditure is to be written off over the pay back period only and cannot be amortised. However the company is following the BIFR Scheme. Hence the system followed for VRS accounting is not in line with the mandatory AS-15 issued by ICAI.

v. Wage Revision : Non provision of the expenses in Profit and Loss Account

The pay scales of the Board Level and below Board level executives have been revised by the Board w.e.f 01.01.1997. In exercise of the powers conferred under Articles of Association of the company, the president had approved the pay revision and directed the company to implement the pay revision w.e.f 01.01.1997 vide wage revision settlement as per DPE guidelines. As per the presidential directive, fitment benefit shall be payable @ 15% in the first stage and the balance fitment shall be paid when the losses are fully recouped and to come into profits and the company is able to absorb the financial burden consequent to revision. As per the orders issued by the Board in pursuant to the presidential directive, the actual payment of the pay revision shall be made subject to availability of funds in the company. No provision for the above wage revision is made by the company in the books of accounts. The quantification was estimated by the company and shown as contingent liability in the notes to accounts.

vi. Contribution to PF:

The management and the employees are contributing 10% each to the PF trust instead of 12% each. The effect of difference of the same is Rs.4.90 lacs.

vii. Regarding Payment of Interest to HOCL

The Company has debited an amount of Rs.135.99 lacs as payment of Interest on Loans taken out of which the payment towards Interest on Loan taken from HOCL the (Holding Company) pursuant to BIFR Scheme is Rs.13.43 lacs. As per BIFR's MDRS the Company is not liable to pay any interest on the loan amount received from the Holding Company M/s HOCL pursuant to BIFR Scheme. Hence we are of the opinion that the company has no obligation to pass the interest entry amounting to Rs.13.43 lakhs in its Profit and Loss Account and the amount payable to HOCL shall be reduced to that extent.

viii. Retirement Benefits:

The company had provided Gratuity benefits and other retirement benefits in the books of accounts and stated as point no. 8 in notes to accounts for the current Financial year. However, no approved acturial valuation was done by the company for the Gratuity and other retirement benefits as required by AS-15 issued by ICAI. The Company calculated the provision on Actual basis.

ix. Change in Accounting Policy -VSSC Research & Development

The company recognized amount received from VSSC Rs.20 lacs amount as prior period income and Rs.15.00 lacs as Miscellaneous Income during the year. The company entered into a MOU with Vikram Sarabhai Space Center(VSSC) in Financial Year 2009-10 for research and development of certain chemical compounds. As per the MOU it is a tripartite MOU with each party having its own milestones and responsibilities. The company income amounted to Rs.40.00 lacs in the MOU. The company raised invoice of Rs.20.00 lacs from VSSC in Financial Year 2009- 10 and received the same in the current financial year 2010-11.The second invoice was raised for Rs. 15.00 lacs during the Financial Year 2010- 11.The company treated the amount received in Financial year 2009-10 amounting to Rs.20.00 lacs as Prior period Income and Rs. 15.00 lacs received in the Year 2010-11 as "Miscellaneous Income". The above treatment of income tantamount to a change in the accounting policy as indicated in Policy no.6.1 in the Significant Accounting Policies of the company vis-a-vis the policy followed in the previous year. Had there been no change in the policy the Profit of the company for the year would have been reduced by Rs.35.00 lacs and the "Current Liabilities" of the company would have been increased by Rs.35.00 lacs as the same amount should have been treated as "Advance from customers".

ii) In the case of the Profit and Loss Account of the Profit for the year ended on that date and

iii) In the case of Cash Flow statement of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Mar 31, 2010

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Hindustan Fluorocarbons Ltd., Hyderabad, as at march 31, 2010, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Audit 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 Statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

a) As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure here to a statement of the matters specified in paragraphs 4 & 5 of the said Order.

b) In our opinion, proper books of account, as required by law, have been kept by the Company, so far as appears from our examination of those books.

c) The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statements dealt with by this report are In agreement with the books of accounts.

d) In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with this report comply with the Mandatory Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3c) of Section 211 of the Companies Act. 1956.

e) As per the Notification No. GSR. 829 (e) dated 21.10.2003 issued by the Central Government

clause(G) of sub-section(l) of Section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956, is not applicable to the Government Company and hence we offer no comment as to whether any of the Directors are disqualified from being appointed as the Directors in terms of the said section.

f) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts read together with the Accounts Policies and Notes to Accounts annexed to this report, give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956 in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Accounting Principles generally accepted in India subject to the following qualifications.

i) Regarding Sundry Debtors / Sundry Creditors.

Sundry Debtors /Sundry Creditors are subject to confirmation by the parties.

ii) Regarding Valuation of HFC - 23 GAS.

The Company has reported a profit of Rs.306.27 lakhs after taking into account incinerated HFC - 23 GAS (CFM-23/R-23) gas as closing Work in Process, amounting to Rs.1397 lakhs

The Company has followed a policy of valuing Future Carbon Credits(CERs) as closing WIP as similar to the policy followed in previous financial year 2008-09 . The valuation of Opening WIP relating to the Future Carbon Credits ( HFC-23 gas) in Financial Year 2009-10 is Rs. 772.04 Lakhs and the Value of Future Carbon Credits (incinerated HFC-23 gas) taken in Closing Stock is Rs.1397 lakhs.

HFC-23/R-23 gas produced by HFCL through its manufacturing process has fallen into the list of gases having potential of global warming and is in the eligible category of Carbon Credits as per the Kyoto Protocol. Therefore the company is entitled to claim Carbon Credits after the incineration of the Gas and confirmation by United Nations Framework on Climatic Change UNFCCC as per the guidelines of UNFCCC.

It t is informed to us that, in the current financial year 2009-10, 42.5 Metric Tons of RG -23 Gas capable of generating a total of 497250 Carbon Credits (CERs) is incinerated by HFCL during employing external agencies M/s SRF Ltd as Built- Operate-Transfer(BOT) contractor agreeing to pay 30% share in total Carbon Credits (263800 Carbon Credits equivalent to two installments) as contract price and also to PWC as consultants giving 5% share of total Carbon Credits (i.e, 11672.5 CERs) and after the respective share apportionments the company is eligible for 221777.50 Carbon Credits.The company is yet to get confirmation from UNFCCC regarding the converted Carbon Credits as on the date of this audit report. The company has valued the 221777.50 eligible / Future Carbon Credits as closing Work in process for value of Rs.1397 lacs taking the lowest quote of Carbon Credits in past year in Carbon Credits Exchange as basis

As per AS 2 issued by ICAI in respect of valuation of inventory, the valuation of Stock should be done at cost or net realizable value of the item whichever is low. As the entire cost relating to RG-23 Gas production are absorbed in the production cost, the value to be considered for valuation of WIP of RG 23 Gas/ Future Carbon Credit should have been NIL.

The ICAI has issued an Exposure Draft and Guidance Note on valuation of Carbon Credits dated 23-06-2009. As per the guidance note the Carbon Credits can be valued as Closing Stock / WIP only after they recognized by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and communicated to company. Till the Confirmation/ communication of Carbon Credits by UNFCCC to company, the company at best can consider it as a Contingent Asset.

As on date of Audit Report it is informed to us that 42.5 Metric Tons of RG -23 Gas capable of generating a total of 497250 Carbon Credits (CERs) is incinerated by HFCL employing an external agencies M/s SRF Ltd as Built-Operate-Transfer(BOT) contractor agreeing to pay the price of the contract by giving 30% share in total Carbon Credits (263800 Carbon Credits equivalent to two installments) and PWC as consultants giving 5% share of total Carbon Credits (5%of total Carbon Credits i.e, 11672.5 CERs) and after the respective share apportionments the company is eligible for 221777.50 Carbon Credits which was valued at Rs.1397 lakhs.

Therefore in our view the profit of the Company as reported by the Company for the year amounting to 307.33 lakhs and Rs.306.27lakhs before Prior period adjustment and after prior period adjustment would have been converted into a Loss of Rs 317.63 lakhs and 1090.73 Lakhs respectively had the above policy been followed.

Also due to the above effect the Net Current Asset would have been Negative i.e. (-) Rs.240.95 lakhs as against reported (+)Rs.1156.05 lakhs and the Profit and Loss Account under the Misc. Asset would have been Rs 6297.28 lakhs against the reported as Rs.4900.28 lakhs.

iii) Regarding Refurbishment Expenditure: The Company has incurred Rs.284.14 lakhs as refurbishment expenditure on Plant & Machinery during the Financial Year 2008-09. Out of the above the Company has written off Rs.61.49 lakhs during the current year as per the guidelines laid down in BIFR, Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (MDRS) The amount shall be written off in 3 equal annual installments as per the BIFR Scheme. This is a deviation of A S 6 issued by ICAI as any expenditure incurred for improvement in performance of the Plant & Machinery should be capitalized and depreciated accordingly as per Schedule - XIV applicable to the Company. However the Company is following the guide lines contained in the BIFRs MDRS in this matter deviating from A S issued by ICAI.

iv) Regarding Payment of Interest

The Company has debited an amount of Rs. 128.98 lakhs as payment of Interest on Loans taken out of which the payment towards Interest on Loan taken from HOCL the (Holding Company) pursuant to BIFR Scheme is Rs.13.43 lakhs. As per BIFRs MDRS the Company is not liable to pay any interest on the loan amount received from the Holding Company M/s HOCL pursuant to of BIFR Scheme. Hence we are of the opinion that the company has no obligation to pass the interest entry amounting to Rs.13.43 lakhs in its Profit and Loss Account and the amount payable to HOCL shall be reduced to that extent. Therefore in our view, the Profit as reported by the Company as shown in the Profit and Loss for the year 2009-10 amounting to Rs. 307.33 lakhs and Rs. 306.27 lakhs before Prior Period Adjustment and after Period Adjustment would have been converted into a Loss of Rs. 317.63 and Rs. 1090.73 Lakhs respectively had the above policy been followed. The Net current assets would have been negative i.e., Rs.240.95 lakhs (as against the reported figure of Rs. 1156.05 lakhs) and the Profit & Loss under Misc. Assets would have been Rs.6297.28 lakhs ( as against the reported figure of Rs. 4900.28 lakhs).

ii) In the case of the Profit and Loss Account of the Profit for the year ended on that date and

iii) In the case of Cash Flow statement of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
