 Annexure to Auditor''s Report
 
 (Referred to in paragraph 1 of our Report of even date to the members
 of FRONTLINE CORPORATION LIMITED)
 
 (i) In respect of Fixed Assets:
 
 (a) The Company is maintaining fixed assets register showing full
 particulars including quantitative details and situation of its fixed
 assets till 31st March 2011.
 
 (b) Management of the company has carried physical verification of
 assets during the financial year 2010-11 and no material discrepancies
 were noticed on such verification.
 
 (c) During the year, the Company has not disposed off major part of the
 fixed assets hence the question of affecting the going concern status
 of the Company does not arise.
 
 (ii) In respect of Inventories:
 
 (a) Inventories of finished goods, stock in trade, raw materials and
 stores spares have been physically verified during the year by the
 management. In our opinion, the frequency of such verification is
 reasonable. In case of stocks of items like Refractory Bricks, due to
 the nature of the stock and the manner of its storage, the actual
 quantities of stocks cannot be measured on physical verification with
 substantial accuracy. However the difference, if any, in actual
 receipts and issues, is accounted for suitably.
 
 (b) The procedures of physical verification of inventories followed by
 the management are, in our opinion, reasonable and adequate in relation
 to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
 
 (c) According to the records produced for our verification, there were
 no material discrepancies noticed on physical verification of stocks
 referred to in Para (ii) (a) above as compared to book records and the
 same have been properly dealt with in the books of account. The
 shortages and excesses noticed on physical verification as mentioned in
 Para (ii) (a) above are not abnormal and material according to the
 nature of the business of the company.

 the Company to/from companies, firms or other parties covered in the

 end was 22,11,907/- and Maximum amount outstanding during the year was
 2,09,71,357. The Company has not granted any advance in the nature of
 loan to any party during the year.
 
 (b) In our opinion, the rate of interest and other terms and conditions
 on which loans have been taken / given from / to such parties are not,
 prima facie, prejudicial to the interest of the Company.
 
 (c) In respect of loans taken by the Company, the principal amounts are
 repayable on demand and the interest payments are regular. In respect

 purchase of inventory, fixed assets and with regard to the sale of
 goods and services. During the course of our audit, we have not
