COMPANY SECRETARY :

The Company has on its rolls, Shri. B.S. Harikrishna, an Associate member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India, as the full time Secretary of the Company with effect from 25th April 2013.

REPLIES TO AUDIT OBSERVATIONS :

1. The Auditors have mentioned in their Report, that the brought forward reserves are overstated by Rs. 312.82 lakhs due to capitalization of term loan interest during 2007-08, in contravention of AS16 issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and fixed Assets of the Company have been overstated by the same amount. Consequently, the depreciation for the year is overstated by Rs. 14.27 lakhs and the total overstatement of depreciation is Rs. 8S.74 lakhs till March 31, 2014.

With respect to the above, the management has already clarified in the year 2007-08, that the part of the plant, which was commissioned is pertaining to the operations with respect to the first line of production, and that the scale was at a very insignificant level at that point of time and that the plant became an integrated unit, only upon commissioning of the second line, subsequently and hence it was not deemed inappropriate to capitalize the interest. However to fall in line with the Auditor''s views, the company has decided to undo the capitalized, interest amount on the term loans during that period, and charge off to P & L A/c in a phased manner spread over a three year period with consequential changes in the Depreciation in respective years, commencing from the year 2014-1S onwards.

2. The Auditors have mentioned in their Annexure report as point 3(d) that there is no terms of repayment of term loans taken from the Directors.

Yes, there are no specific terms for repayment of loans taken from the Directors of the company. As the Directors are fully aware of the financial position, the amounts will be repaid based, on availability of sufficient cash flows and after ensuring that the operations shall not suffer upon repayment.

3. The Auditors have mentioned in their Annexure report as point 9(a) that there is Rs. 302.09 lakh of Entry tax, Rs. 44.06 lakhs of Sales tax and Rs. 74.28 lakhs of Income Tax dues which were outstanding for a period of more than 6 months."

As far as Entry Tax is concerned, liability arose on account of Supreme Court decision for non acceptance of exemption claimed by the company along with other assesses and the company is waiting for Supreme Court Decision. As far as Sales tax is concerned, the company has paid later on. Regarding Income Tax the company is planning to pay before the end of September, 2014.

Due to heavy payment obligation to Banks, the Company could not pay the taxes on time. However the Company is hopeful to clear off all the over dues during the year 2014-1S.

4. The Auditors have mentioned in their Annexure report as point 11 that "interest has fallen due during the year amounting to Rs.53.36 Lakhs".

As mentioned in the Audit Report the amount was debited on the last working day of financial year. Hence the amount was paid in the subsequent month. In fact all the Term Loans pertaining to the Visakhapatnam and Bhilai Plants have since been closed and that no out standing exists.

OPERATIONS:

During the year of the operations, the company has successfully completed the alternative fuel facility and the numbers were reflected already in the balance sheet which were only for the later six months period. In fact the total benefit can be seen during the current financial year covering twelve months period which will improve our profitability. The major benefit derived from this facility has been passed on to our customers to be competitive in the market and to get more volume of business and to maximize our customer base.

Further during the year the power cost is increased and the government has allowed company to buy private power through exchanges at a market determined prices. Therefore this may cost high but the continuity of power and the quality of power improved which will have indirect benefit to the units as the running hours of the plant will improve. From the financial figures you can observe that there is an increase in the cost of power by Rs.. 5 crores, though the operation levels are completely same. Thereby the overall profitability also reduced to the tune of Rs.. 5 crores. The external and internal infrastructure of the company also improved during this year and ready to accommodate all the required infrastructure like go down facilities, transport facilities, material handling facilities and distribution facilities. During the year at the marketing channel the go down space has also been increased and storing enough stock to meet the customers requirement from time to time and to gain the customer satisfaction.

Chromic Acid and Chrome Oxide Green production is stabilized. International market and domestic market well accepted our product and getting repeated orders which will enhance the company turnover in the coming period.

FUTURE PLANS:

This year company is planning to complete the White Sodium Sulphate project and Co-generation project at their Visakhapatnam facility which will add up to the turnover and profitability as we have stocked substantial stock of by-product which will be converted into high value product with the completion of WSS plant.

Furthermore the company is also negotiating a long term contract with M/s. Procter and Gamble for supply of White Sodium Sulphate for their detergent industry at Hyderabad. The establishment of P & G unit at Hyderabad is a boon for our industry as the entire by-product can be sold to them.

The company is also concentrating on training and up gradation of skills at all levels to face the challenges and meet the market requirements. As the company is reaching to its Silver Jubilee year by 2015 it is time to consolidate all the areas such as infrastructure, production, marketing and human resources etc.

As far as Entry Tax is concerned, liability arose on account of High Court decision for non acceptance of exemption claimed by the company along with other assesses and the company is waiting for High Court Decision. As far as Sales tax is concerned, the liability arises due to Input Vat Credit on Stock transfers. The Company has to pay the said amount along with regular taxes and company has sought the commercial tax department for extension of

time for making payment in installments. The Company will pay after getting the permission from commercial tax Department.

4. The auditors have mentioned in their Annexure report as point 11 that "interest and principal fallen due during the year Rs.280.09 lakhs and Rs.633.73 lakhs respectively".
