AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2026-03 

We have audited the standalone financial statements of
Himadrl Speciality Chemical Ltd (the "Company")
which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at
31 March 2026, and the standalone statement of profit and
loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone
statement of changes in equity and standalone statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
standalone financial statements, and notes to the standalone
financial statements including material accounting
informations and other explanatory information (hereinafter
referred to as the "standalone financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2026, and its
profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity
and its cash flows for the year ended then ended.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in
the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code
of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements for the financial year
ended 31 March 2026. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the standalone financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed
the matter is provided in that context:

Descriptions of Key Audit Matter

How we addressed the matter in our audit

A. Revenue Recognition

Refer to note 26 to the standalone financial statements.

Revenue is one of the key profit drivers and is therefore
susceptible to misstatement. Cut-off is the key assertion
in so far as revenue recognition is concerned, since an
inappropriate cut-off can result in material misstatement of
results for the year. Revenue is recognized when the control
of the underlying products has been transferred to customer
along with the satisfaction of the Company's performance
obligation under a contract with customer. Terms of sales
arrangements, including the timing of transfer of control,
delivery specifications including Incoterms in case of exports,
timing of recognition of sales require significant judgment in
determining revenues. The risk is, therefore, that revenue
may not get recognised in the correct period.

As part of our audit, we understood the Company's policies
and processes, control mechanisms and methods in
relation to the revenue recognition, estimation of discounts
rebates and price adjustments and evaluated the design
and operative effectiveness of the financial controls for the
above through our test of control procedures.

Ý Our audit procedures with regard to revenue recognition
included testing controls, automated and manual,
around dispatches/deliveries, inventory reconciliations
and circularization of receivable balances, substantive
testing for cut-offs and analytical review procedures.

Ý Performing procedures to ensure that the revenue
recognition criteria adopted by Company for all major
revenue streams is appropriate and in line with the
Company's accounting policies.

Descriptions of Key Audit Matter

How we addressed the matter in our audit

The estimation of discounts, and price adjustments to be
recognised based on sales made during the year is material
and considered to be judgmental.

Due to the significant risk associated with revenue recognition
in accordance with terms of Ind AS 115 'Revenue from
contracts with customers 'and the judgments and estimates
involved in making the estimation of discounts, and price
adjustments, we determined the recognition of revenue,
estimation of discounts, & price adjustments as a key audit
matter.

Ý Obtaining and inspecting, on a sample basis, supporting
documentation for discounts, rebates and price
adjustments recorded and disbursed / allowed during the
year as well as credit notes issued after the year end to
determine whether these were recorded appropriately.

Ý Our audit procedures included, among other things, the
evaluation of the process to calculate the provision for
price adjustments and the evaluation of the relevant
assumptions and their derivation for the measurement
of the provisions.

Ý We also compared costs incurred to the previously
recognized provisions to assess the quality of the
management estimates. Based on the evidence
obtained, we concluded that management's process for
identifying and quantifying the provision for rebates and
price adjustments was appropriate and that the resulting
provision was reasonable.

Ý Performed procedures to identify any unusual trends of
revenue recognition.

Ý Traced disclosure information to accounting records and
other supporting documentation.

Information Other than the Financial Statements
and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Management
Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures
to Board's Report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability
Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's
Information but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the standalone
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those
Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flow of the Company
in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act
read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of
the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is
responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone
financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations or the override of
internal control.

Ý Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal
financial controls system in place with reference to
financial statements and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.

Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.

Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor's report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease
to continue as a going concern.

Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements
may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality
and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit
work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
