ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 3 OF THE AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE
MEMBERS OF GUJARAT FLUOROCHEMICALS LIMITED ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2011
In terms of the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003, on the basis
of information and explanations given to us and the books and records
examined by us in the normal course of audit and such checks as we
considered appropriate, to the best of our knowledge and belief, we
state as under:
1. The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars
including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.
The Company has drawn out a regular program of verification of fixed
assets which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size
of the company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies
have been noticed on such verification.
Fixed assets disposed of during the year were not substantial and
therefore do not affect the going concern assumption.
2. The inventories were physically verified by the management at
reasonable intervals during the year.
In our opinion, the procedures of physical verification of inventories
followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to
the size of the Company and the nature of its business.
In our opinion, the Company has maintained proper records of its
inventories and no material discrepancies were noticed on physical
verification of inventories as compared to book records.
3. The Company has granted loan to one company covered in the register
maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. The maximum
amount involved during the year is Rs. 13300 lacs and the year-end
balance is Rs. 13300 lacs. In our opinion, the rate of interest and
other terms and conditions on which this loan is granted are not, prima
facie, prejudicial to the interest of the Company. The company is
regular in repayment of interest and no amounts were due towards
repayment of principal.
The Company has not taken any loan, secured or unsecured, from the
parties covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the
Companies Act, 1956.
4. In our opinion, there are generally adequate internal control
systems commensurate with the size of the Company and nature of its
business for purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of
goods. During the course of our audit, no major weakness has been
noticed in the internal control systems in respect of these areas.
5. In our opinion, the transactions that need to be entered into the
register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 have
been so entered.

arrangement entered in the register maintained under section 301 of the

facie, reasonable having regard to the prevailing market prices at the
relevant time.
