Independent Auditor's Review Report on unaudited quarterly and year to date financial results of Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015
To,
The Board of Directors
Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited
- We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited financial results of Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited ('the Company') for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the year-to-date results for the period April 01, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ('the Statement') attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended ('the Regulation'). This Statement is the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
- This Statement has been prepared by the Company's Management in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other recognized accounting principles generally accepted in India.
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether financial results are free of material misstatements. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

4. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement of unaudited financial results prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other recognized accounting principles generally accepted in India has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the Regulation including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
