FOREWORD
The Annual Report of Druk Green Power Corporation Limited (Druk Green) is an insight into the development of the energy sector, especially hydropower, in Bhutan. It is hoped that this Annual Report will help readers with a better understanding of Druk Green as well as the energy sector of the country. Druk Green was incorporated under the Companies Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan on 1st January 2008 with the amalgamation of Basochhu, Chhukha and Kurichhu Hydro Power Corporations, and the Tala Hydroelectric Project in April 2009. Since then, Druk Green has successfully ventured beyond the operation and maintenance of hydropower plants to the construction of new hydroelectric projects. Since its creation four years ago, Druk Green has come a long way and made huge strides in building its human resources capacity in the hydropower sector. From feasibility studies to design and engineering, construction, and operation and maintenance of hydropower plants, Druk Green is today much more confident of taking on the daunting challenges of developing and managing the huge hydropower resources of Bhutan. Druk Green is set to play a key role in the further development of the energy sector in Bhutan and towards this is already venturing into developing hydropower projects on its own and in joint ventures as equal or lead partners. Druk Green plants are some of best operated and maintained with very high plant availability and water utilization factors when compared to other hydropower plants in the region. There is a continuous effort to improve in the efficient operation and maintenance of the plants, thus enabling Bhutan to enjoy very reliable and highly affordable electricity supplies. The success of Druk Green is not devoid of a multitude of challenges and ground realities. The year 2011 saw a decline in generation of 3.66% and subsequently a decline in revenues of 7.31% in comparison to the year 2010. While the decline in generation was primarily on account of lower inflows in the rivers with direct impact on the revenues, the revenue inflows to the Company were adversely affected by the increase in domestic consumption (domestic tariffs being lower than export tariffs) and the direct transfer of the royalty energy proceeds to Government. However, the increase in domestic demand is reflective of the very fast socio-economic development that Bhutan is going through. A key area of concern for Druk Green continues to be in the development of its human resources. While Druk Greens achievements in the development of its human resources has been impressive, demand continues to outstrip availability considering the huge success of the Government in accelerating hydropower development during the last couple of years. Albeit the challenges, Druk Green takes pride in its performances so far and further commits to work tirelessly towards achieving its vision To harness and sustain Bhutans renewable energy resources.

Harnessing and Sustaining Bhutans Renewable Energy Resources

Druk Green Annual Report 2011

REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The domestic sale of energy to Bhutan Power

Corporation Limited (BPC) increased by 3.31% to 1,683.72 GWh in 2011 when compared to the 2010 domestic supply. Considering the lower generation and the higher domestic consumption, energy export to India declined by 7.49% to 5,309.86 GWh during the year when compared to the 2010 figures. The ever-increasing domestic consumption of energy continues to adversely impact the revenue inflows to Druk Green, and the trend is expected to continue.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Dasho Karma Tshiteem Chairman Dear Shareholder, I, as the Chairman of the Board of Druk Green Power Corporation Limited (Druk Green) and on behalf of the Board of Directors, have the immense pleasure to report to Druk Holding and Investments (DHI), the Shareholder of Druk Green, on the performance of the Company for the period 1st January to 31st December 2011. During the year 2011, Druk Green earned revenues of Nu. 10,948.33 million, a 7.31% decline from the 2010 revenues of Nu. 11,811.46 million. The drop in revenue was mainly on account of lower generation, increase in domestic consumption and the direct transfer of the royalty energy proceeds of Nu. 135.76 million to the Ministry of Finance as per the directives issued by the Bhutan Electricity Authority (BEA) in 2011. The Profit After Tax (PAT) also declined by 12.38% to Nu 3,933.08 million when compared to the 2010 PAT. The negative variance on PAT was also on the account of the increase in employees remuneration and benefits due to new recruits as Druk Green continues to build its human resources capacity to cater to the 10,000 MW projects by 2020 projects and other projects of Druk Green other than of course the much larger impact from the decline in generation and increase in domestic demand. A summary of the Financial Performance for 2011 vis-vis the Financial Performance in 2010 is provided below: Particulars FY 2010 FY 2011
Revenue (Nu.) Profit before tax (Nu.) Provision for tax (Nu.) Dividend (Nu.) 11,811,463,973.75 6,486,738,329.32 1,972,107,493.89 10,948,330,384.34 5,638,235,521.57 1,705,148,993.04

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Druk Green power plants generated 7,046.57 GWh of electricity during the year 2011, a decline 0f 3.66% from the 2010 generation. The decline in generation was on account of less inflows in the rivers as compared to the previous year with additional losses from the forced outage of Unit 1 at Chhukha Hydropower Plant (CHP) with a generator winding insulation failure (41.92 GWh) and the simultaneous forced outages of Units 1 and 2 of Tala Hydropower Plant (THP) with the failure of the thrust bearings (19.93 GWh) in the month of September 2011. The generation from each of the plants during 2011 vis--vis 2010 generation is as below: Plant 2010 Generation (GWh)

Druk Green will be paying a Corporate Income Tax of Nu. 1,705.15 million for the year 2011. The financial position of the Company, however, continues to be very strong with the Shareholders funds of Nu. 37,897.51 million and loans of Nu.

Druk Green Annual Report 2011

18,891.55 million; with debt representing 49.85 % of equity. The funds are almost entirely invested in income generating assets. The fund applications are in the form of Nu. 51,548.64 million in fixed assets (net block) including capital works in progress, Nu. 3,295.35 million in long-term investments, and the balance Nu. 1,945.08 million in net current assets.

PROJECTS
(i) Investment in Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project
As of 31st December 2011, Druk Green has injected Nu. 1,339.01 million for the 59% equity holding of Druk Green in the Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project. The amount represents Nu. 700.50 of the called up value of Nu. 1,000 per share for the 1,911,600 shares held by Druk Green. Besides the expected future returns on the investment, the Dagachhu Hydro Power Corporation Limited (DHPC) continues to provide an exceptional opportunity for Druk Green to develop its own competencies in the construction of hydropower projects. Over 35 key employees of DHPC including the Chief Executive Officer are on deputation from Druk Green. The implementation scheduled for the 126 MW Dagachhu Project was revised at the end of 2011 after detailed deliberations with the Lot 1 Civil and Lot 2 Electro-Mechanical contractors and with the approval of the DHPC Board. With the revised construction schedule, the commissioning of the Units 1 and 2 of the project has been shifted to 24 February 2014 and 8 April 2014 respectively from the initial schedules of 25 February 2013 and 28 March 2013. The delays in the project has been primarily on account of the very poor geology encountered during the construction of the project, which necessitated changes in design and engineering and adoption of new construction methodologies that substantially slowed down progress. The progress of the excavations of the headrace tunnels (HRT) continues to be hampered due to the poor geological strata encountered at various sectors of the HRT. With only 38% of HRT excavations completed, the HRT works now are on the critical path of the schedule. The supply and on-site assembly of electromechanical equipment are on schedule as per the initially contracted milestones. The open works at the weir (dam), connecting tunnel and the desilters are progressing for the most part as per the initial schedule. With very little likelihood of further geological surprises in the excavations of powerhouse and transformer caverns, the installation of electromechanical equipment in the powerhouse and transformer caverns will commence sometime soon after the end of June 2012.
Druk Green Annual Report 2011

DIVIDEND
A Dividend of Nu. 3.435 billion was approved by the Board for the year 2011. The Board considered a Dividend of 87.35% PAT after providing for transfer to Reserves of 12.65% of PAT; 10% as normal transfer to Reserves and 2.65% as the adjustment for the excess declaration of dividend made during the year 2009 to DHI. While it has been the normal practice for Druk Green to put aside 10% of PAT to Reserves, considering the huge investments planned for accelerating hydropower development and with some of the existing plants aging, the continuation of the policy to retain only 10% of PAT under Reserves may not be adequate to meet the future requirements to finance new projects and to rehabilitate older plants, and therefore may have to be reviewed.

ENERGY CHALLENGES
During 2011, a little over 1,044 GWh was supplied to BPC as royalty power at Nu. 0.13 per kWh and the balance 639 GWh was supplied as additional energy at Nu. 1.20 per kWh. The increase in domestic energy demand of 55.7 GWh in 2011 over 2010 had a negative impact on revenue to the extent of Nu. 36.76 million while the direct remittance of royalty energy proceeds to the Ministry of Finance led to a reduction in revenues by Nu. 135.76 million. A major mandate of Druk Green is to provide energy security for domestic consumption. Apart from the declining revenues, Bhutan will face peaking power shortages during the lean winter months till the next major hydropower plant is commissioned, which might happen sometime in 2016. The situation could improve slightly in 2014 when the generation from the Tsibjalumchhu Diversion Scheme and the Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project are likely to become available. Meanwhile, the Department of Hydropower and Power Systems (DHPS) is leading the discussions with the Government of India (GOI) counterparts to arrange for import power from India during the lean generation months. Depending on the arrangements, Druk Green is likely to face further revenue declines.

(ii) Joint Venture with Government of India Public Sector Undertakings (GOI PSUs)
In 2010, the Royal Government of Bhutan and the GOI agreed for four hydropower projects, under the 10,000 MW by 2020 bilateral co-operation, to be the implemented under the joint venture model. The RGOB nominated Druk Green to represent the RGOBs interests in the JV projects with the GOI nominating four of their CPSUs. The JV projects were to be established under the overall framework of the Bhutan Sustainable Hydropower Policy 2008 (BSHP) and the laws of the Kingdom of Bhutan. The projects identified and allotted through the Empowered Joint Group of the two Governments to Druk Green and the GOI CPSUs were (1) the 180 MW Bunakha Reservoir Scheme with THDC, (2) the 770 MW Chamkharchhu-I with NHPC, and (3) the 600 MW Kholongchhu HEP and the 570 MW Wangchhu HEP with SJVN. The negotiations did not proceed as anticipated during 2011 with the GOI CPSUs demanding for concessions that were not in keeping with the BSHP and laws of Bhutan. However, the negotiations are back on track and the Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) are expected to be finalized by May 2012. Thereafter, the Shareholders Agreement, Power Purchase Agreement, and financial packaging would be negotiated, which could take probably a year or more to finalize. The MOUs are expected to pave the way for initiating the construction of the infrastructure works so as to fast track the JV projects. Meanwhile, the Detailed Project Reports are also being cleared by the relevant Authorities of the GOI and the RGOB, with Druk Green playing a key role in the finalization of the technical parameters.

expected to build capacity in terms of competencies in the reclamation of runners and other critical under water components of hydro mechanical equipment by way of technology transfer while foremost meeting the needs of the Company for such services, which are presently being availed from India and Nepal. It is anticipated that the Centre could be further expanded in future to meet the requirement of similar services by the hydropower plants and other industries of the nearby Indian states. Other related Centers of Excellences that Druk Green has and is establishing will also be moved to the HSC to take advantage of the R&D possibilities.

(iv) Tsibjalumchhu Diversion Scheme

The Board approved the construction of the Tsibjalumchhu Diversion Scheme through internal funds of the Company on 11th October 2011. The Scheme would provide 10 -40 MW of power during the lean season at THP by diverting the Tsibjalumchhu stream to the Tala dam through an underground tunnel. This is estimated to generate an additional 93 GWh of energy in a 90% dependable year. The National Environment Commission has already issued the Environmental Clearance and Druk Green is awaiting the issue of the Construction License by BEA to start implementing the works. A Project Management Unit has been formed with the construction of the project scheduled to commence from May 2012. The additional generation is expected to become available in the early part of 2014.

(v) Nikachhu Hydroelectric Project

On 3rd January 2011, approval was accorded to Druk Green by the then Department of Energy to conduct the Feasibility Study for the Nikachhu Hydroelectric Project. While it was intended to complete the Feasibility Study as envisaged in the earlier reports, it was observed from site investigations that the geological and geotechnical conditions of the initial sites for the dam and the power house were not very suitable. After extensive consultations with experts, two more dam locations were selected and field investigations carried out at these sites. The initial location of the power house below Tansibji village at the confluence of the Nikachhu and the Mangdechhu exhibited geological and geotechnical conditions similar to that

(iii) Joint Venture for Hydropower Services Center

The establishment of a Hydropower Services Centre (HSC) in Gelephu was primarily envisaged so as to cater to the reclamation of runners and other underwater parts of hydropower plants, the requirement for which will grow exponentially with the huge expansion in the hydropower sector. The feasibility study and the due diligence for the HSC was completed during 2011. Druk Green is exploring options for developing the project with Alstom (India) through a joint venture under the FDI Policy of the RGOB, and a deadline of May 2012 has been agreed to for concluding the negotiations. The HSC is

of the Dagachhu power house. In view of the huge difficulties faced in the construction of the Dagachhu power house, a decision was taken to shift the Nikachhu power house site. From initial studies for alternative layouts, it was determined that the most optimal option would be to combine the Nikachhu project by diverting the Nikachhu stream to the Mangdechhu dam. While the Feasibility Study for the Nikachhu as earlier envisaged was completed, the option of diverting the Nikachhu to the Mangdechhu dam after using the available head is now being conducted. ADB is providing a Technical Assistance to help Druk Green undertake the due diligence of the Nikachhu project, structure the financing, and overall further build capacity within Druk Green through the Nikachhu project.

audit issues pending with the Royal Audit Authority and no audit qualifications in the Audited Accounts for 2011 is reflective of the management systems in place. A Risk Management Framework has also been approved for implementation together with an Internal Audit Manual. The Internal Audit Unit was further strengthened during the year. A number of Board Level Committees such as the HR Committee, Audit Committee and Tender Committee are in place. As and when required, these Committees meet to deliberate on the issues and provide guidance to the management. The continued efforts to strengthen Corporate Governance will be critical for Druk Green to sustain the huge growth that is taking place in the hydropower sector. The continued implementation and improvements of the Performance Linked Incentive Scheme and the Employee Appraisal System have effectively ensured that the Company optimizes the use of its human resources and assets through performance based systems. These systems are to a certain extent integrated within the DHI Compacts for the Company as a whole. These systems are evolving in keeping with the Companys priorities.

(vi) Other Projects

Druk Green continues to work very closely with DHPS. While the Gamri project was not approved during 2011 for the intended Pre-Feasibility Study, Druk Green expects to be associated closely with the Norwegian experts in the investigations and the preparation of the DPR for either the Khomachhu or the Rotpashong hydroelectric project. This is expected to enable Druk Green to further acquire expertise and experience through association with international experts. Druk Green is also closely associated with DHPS and the MOEA in all the other 10,000 MW by 2020 projects, the studies of which are being taken up by the GOI CPSUs and related agencies.

DHI COMPACT
Druk Green has achieved its profitability margins and the targets that were agreed to in the 2011 Compact with DHI except for the Gamri PFS for which Government approval was not obtained. The performances vis--vis the Compact are to be used for the payout of the 10% Performance Based Variable Allowance (PBVA) to both the regular employees and for the contract employees of Druk Green where the contract agreements provide for such allowances. With the merger of earlier 25% Corporation and the 10% Variable Allowances to basic salary from 1st January 2012, the 10% PBVA is now being continued within the framework of the 20% interim allowance that is now bifurcated into 10% PBVA and 5% Corporation Allowance of the revised basic salary. Based on the audited accounts for 2011 and the Audit certified achievements vis--vis the 2011 PLIS, the performance of Druk Green in respect of the 2011 Compact is 100%.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board met seven times during the year complying with the requirements of the Companies Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan, 2000 and the quorums at each of these meetings were duly maintained. The AGM, which has to be held before the 31st June of the year as per the Companies Act, was held on 30th March 2011. No necessity arose for holding any EGMs. Druk Green continues to develop its management systems and today the Board is confident that Druk Green is one of the best-managed Companies in Bhutan even though it was established only four years back. During 2011, a number of important Plans, Strategies, and Manuals were adopted and are being implemented. Transparent systems and controls are in place. The fact that there are no major

Druk Green Annual Report 2011

PERFORMANCE LINKED INCENTIVE SCHEME

As per the assessment carried out and audited for the 2011 PLIS, it is observed that the overall performance of Druk Green is 78.06% as compared to 81.31% in 2010. The performance level has been proportionately ratcheted downwards to keep the incentive payouts within the overall two months basic salary ceiling prescribed in the PLIS document. This is equivalent to an average of 67% achievement in terms of incentive payouts although the actual achievement was much higher at 78.06% for the year.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Druk Green contributed to a wide range of causes encompassing religion, culture and heritage, humanitarian, sports, education and youth, social and economic development, and the environment amounting to Nu. 16.195 million during the year. As a leader in Corporate management, Druk Green has been increasingly involved in more of such activities as part of its overall Corporate Social Responsibility. The employees of Druk Green have also been generously contributing to many of these causes, through fund collections and labour inputs. While the regular CSR activities are continuing, during 2011, the rural electrification works for the Toktogom village (on left bank of Tala dam) and Phasuma village (on left bank of Tala power house) were completed. Since 2011, Druk Green also started to provide maintenance services to the 100 kW Sengor micro hydropower plant through the Kurichhu plant as part of its CSR. Druk Green further contributed and play a key role in the flood-lighting project for the Changlimithang grounds. It is envisaged that through the CSR programs, Druk Green will continue to promote activities that propagate the name Green of the Company with support at both the Company and the employee levels.

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP)

The successful implementation of the SAP-ERP in Druk Green in the year 2011 was one of the high points of the year. The Company migrated from the Tally Accounting System to SAP Enterprise Resources Planning System with effect from 1st June 2012. With the implementation of SAP, all the standalone systems were integrated to ERP-SAP resulting in uniformity in the business policies and procedures. All the business processes were documented and wherever possible, process improvements were made. Further, with proper role authorization matrix, the assignment of conflicting roles has been avoided. All business policy and process change has been centralized at Corporate Office, enabling proper control, and check and balance. A dedicated core team for sustaining the ERP-SAP system has been created with the required expertise. ERP-SAP was also implemented for DHPC through Druk Green. Druk Greens team is also helping the Mangdechhu project in implementing ERP-SAP for MHPA.

KEY CHALLENGES
Amongst many issues and challenges that Druk Green encounters on a day to day basis and also with the new projects Druk Green is taking on, it is to highlight a number of the more immediate challenges facing Druk Green.

STATUTORY AUDITORS
M/s TR Chadha & Co. Chartered Accountants from Delhi undertook the statutory audit of Druk Green for the year 2011. The Statutory Auditors for the Company, M/s TR Chadha & Co., provided very valuable guidance and advice in further improving the overall management of the Companys finances, inventories and assets.

i) Development of Human Resources

Given its crucial role in the 10,000 MW by 2020 hydroelectric projects, Druk Green continues to place top priority on building its capacity in human resources in terms of quantity as well as quality to cater to the growing needs of the organization. Druk Green has been investing a lot of its time and funds in the development of human resources at various levels with over Nu. 74 million spent during the year 2011 in trainings, seminars, workshops, skills up-gradation programs, and attachments to other utilities. As a measure to build technical expertise and gain experience, Druk Green has so far deputed

Druk Green Annual Report 2011

over 50 of its employees, almost entirely engineers, to the major hydropower projects under construction in Bhutan. More and more of the trainings are also being conducted within Bhutan. Despite these concerted efforts, Druk Green is faced with huge challenges in acquiring the required human resources. Firstly, it is extremely difficult to attract the people with right skills sets with Druk Green managing to recruit only 61 employees at various levels against the set target of recruiting 200 employees for the year 2011. Secondly, Druk Green is also faced with the retention challenges. Over 87 employees left the organization through voluntary resignations with just a couple leaving on superannuation. During 2011, the number of employees in the organization actually decreased by 3.01% due mainly to the much higher levels of competition for the same skills, better compensation and benefits offered mostly by the hydropower projects under construction and to a certain extent by the private sector, and a career growth path and working environment that some feel are restrictive considering a market place that is opening up. The Civil Service continues to be the choice of employment for every graduate/job seeker with just a few exceptions. Druk Green will need to look at ways and means to attract new recruits, train and provide them with the expertise for the intended jobs immediately, and ensure pay and allowances to encourage them to stay on with the Company. This will be crucial if the Company is to succeed in fulfilling its multi-faceted mandates.

Druk Green also has to invest in the new hydropower stations. Aside from the Dagachhu and the planned Nikachhu and other such projects that Druk Green is developing, investments for the cost sharing in the Bunakha reservoir scheme by the downstream projects is estimated at over Nu. 3.5 billion in equity alone. Over the next five years, Druk Green would be investing over Nu. 16.5 billion in the existing power plants and the equity participation in the new power plants if the approved plans are to be implemented. This does not include the equity that the GOI has committed to the RGOB for the JV projects, which presently is estimated at Nu. 22 billion. There is an urgent need for Druk Green to consider its plans vis--vis its capabilities to finance the huge investments and to explore various options for arranging the funds. A Dividend Policy in keeping with the planned investments is over-due and needs to be addressed.

iii) Operational Complexities

While Druk Green continues to improve and optimize on the operation and maintenance of the existing power plants, the profitability of the Company has been declining over the years mainly on account of increasing domestic demand coupled with changes effected by the Government in the treatment of its revenues. This needs to be addressed appropriately through proper regulatory frameworks to deal especially with the domestic energy pricing and export tariffs. Druk Green also continues to be faced with a number of the teething problems associated with THP that are yet to be rectified. It is envisaged that huge investments will have to be made especially to stabilize the power house caverns as the solutions are expected to be complex requiring sophisticated long terms solutions. Despite the problems, the Tala plant and the other power plants continue to be operated and maintained with very high plant availability factors. However, sustained efforts in investing in corrective measures and developing local capabilities will be required to ensure that the plants continue to contribute to the overall socioeconomic development of the country.

ii) Financing the Huge Planned Investments

Druk Green is planning huge investments not only to sustain the present operation and maintenance of the existing power stations but also to upgrade and automate some of the older plants. The Chhukha power plant has been in operation for over 25 years and major investments will be required to be made especially in the refurbishing of some of the electromechanical equipment as was evident by the failure of the insulation in one of the generating units in September 2011. Some refurbishment activities have already been initiated for CHP. The 10% retention of funds from PAT barely meet the capital investments in the regular O&M of the plants, let alone the expected major investments for refurbishments.

ANNEXURE TO AUDITORS REPORT

[Referred to in paragraph 3 of the Auditors Report of even date to the Members of Druk Green Power Corporation Limited on the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2011] 1. The Corporation has maintained proper records to show full particulars including quantitative details and situation of its fixed assets. As per policy of the company, Physical verification of fixed assets is being carried out by the management in a phased manner, so that all items of fixed assets are physically verified in a period of three years. Accordingly, the fixed assets were physically verified by the management during the year 2010 and no such verification has been done during the current year. 2. The fixed assets of the corporation have not been revalued during the year. 3. As the corporation is engaged in the generation of electricity, there are no finished goods or raw materials. Physical verification of civil, mechanical and electrical stores and spare parts has been conducted during the year and no material discrepancies have been noticed. Certain items have been identified as unserviceable and the corporation has initiated necessary action for their valuation and disposal plans. However, these are fully provided for in the accounts.

4. In our opinion and according to information and explanation given to us, the procedures of physical verification of stock (stores and spares) followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Corporation and the nature of its business but the system needs to be more strengthened. 5. On the basis of our examination of the inventory records, in our opinion, the Company has maintained proper records for inventory. Discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventory as compared to book records were not material. The management has to take necessary steps to strengthen the control over inventory system. 6. In our opinion, the valuation of year-end stocks has been fair and proper in accordance with the normally accepted accounting principles and is on the same basis as in the earlier years, except that no provision is made regarding obsolete non-moving and slow moving items in inventory due to absence of information. 7. According to the information and explanations given to us, there is no corporation/company/firm under the same management from which a loan or an advance has been taken by the Corporation. 8. According to the information and explanations given to us, the Corporation has not granted any loan to corporation/company/firm under the same management. 9. There are no parties to whom the loans and advances have been given by the Corporation which are repayable with interest. 10. Advances granted to officers/staff are generally in keeping with the provisions of service rules and no excessive/ frequent advances are granted and there is no accumulation of large advances against any particular individual. 11. According to information and explanation given to us during the course of our audit, in our opinion, internal control systems of the Corporation are commensurate with its size and the volume of business to ensure completeness, accuracy and reliability of accounting records, to carry out the business in an orderly and efficient manner, to safeguard the assets of the Corporation as well as to ensure adherence to the applicable rules/ regulations, systems and procedures. However, the internal control systems of Tala Hydropower Plant need to be strengthened specially towards inventories, capitalization of fixed assets, etc. The Corporation has a centralized internal audit unit, the scope of which needs to be strengthened to cover main areas of operations, compliances, etc. and to monitor the internal control systems of the corporation.

12. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, having regard to the exception that some of the items purchased are of special nature and suitable alternative sources do not exist for obtaining comparable quotations thereof, there is an adequate system of competitive bidding, commensurate with the size of the Corporation and the nature of its business, for the purchase of goods and services including stores, plant and machinery, equipment and other assets. As the Corporation is engaged in electricity generation, it has no requirement of raw materials. 13. The Corporation sells its electricity generated to the Power Trading Corporation of India Limited (at rates fixed manually by the Royal Government of Bhutan and the Government of India) and to Bhutan Power Corporation Limited for sale in Bhutan and other private parties (at the rates fixed by relevant authority). Hence, the question of competitive bidding for sale of goods and services, in our opinion, is not applicable to the Corporation. According to the information and explanations given to us, the Corporation has not made any transaction for purchases and sale of goods and services during the year in pursuance of contracts or arrangements entered into with director(s) or any other party(ies) related to the director(s) or with company or firms in which the director(s) are directly or indirectly interested. The corporation has transactions with other Companies/Corporations where the Directors of the Corporation are nominated as directors by Royal Government of Bhutan and such companies/corporations are not considered as organizations where the directors have any direct or indirect interest.

14. As explained to us, the Corporation has a procedure for determination of unserviceable or damaged stores. Provisions have been made in accounts for loss arising out of obsolescence of such stores and spare parts. 15. As the Corporation is engaged in the business of generation of electricity, there is no stock of raw material or finished goods and hence the question of ascertaining unserviceable/damaged raw material and finished goods does not arise. However, in our opinion there is adequate system of ascertaining any losses in transmission, at the point of occurrence, for taking corrective actions. 16. The Corporation is maintaining reasonable records for generation of electricity. In our opinion, reasonable records of energy received and energy distributed are maintained by the Corporation. The Statement of Energy Generation, Statement of Gross Energy Available for sale/use for the year 2011 and Statement of Gross Energy Available for sale/use for the year 2010 have been given in Exhibit 1, (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D), (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D) respectively.

17. The Corporation is maintaining reasonable records for sale and disposal of realizable scrap. The Corporation does not generate any by-products. 18. The Corporation has been generally regular in depositing rates and taxes, duties, provident fund and other statutory dues with the appropriate authorities, excepting in few instances the Head office failed to deduct / deposit Tax Deducted at Source within the time limit. In our opinion, the provision for Corporate Tax is adequate and that necessary adjustments have been made to compute amount of tax required under the Rules on the Income Tax Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan 2001. 19. As explained to us, as on the last day of the financial year, there was no undisputed liability payable in respect of rates, taxes, duties, royalties and other statutory dues except as given in Note 18 of Notes to Accounts. 20. According to the information and explanations given to us, and on the basis of our test checking of the accounts and other books and records, to the best of our knowledge, no personal expenses have been debited to the Profit & Loss account other than those payable under contractual obligations/service rules and/or in accordance with generally accepted business practice.

21. Since the Corporation is engaged in generation of electrical energy from hydropower, this clause is not applicable to the Corporation. However, the Corporation has a reasonable system of recording receipts, issues and consumption of stores and allocating to the respective heads of accounts, which are commensurate with its size and nature of its business. 22. Quantitative reconciliation is carried out at the end of the accounting year in respect of electricity and shown in the Notes to Accounts. 23. According to the information and explanations given to us, and on the basis of our test checking of the accounts and other books and records, proper approval of Board / appropriate authority is obtained for writing off amounts due to material loss / discrepancies in physical / book balances of inventories including stores and spares. 24. Since the Corporation is engaged in generation of electrical energy from hydropower, this clause regarding system of allocating man hours utilized to the respective job is not applicable to the Corporation. 25. There is a reasonable system of authorization at proper levels and adequate systems of internal control commensurate with the size of the Corporation and the nature of its business, on issue of stores and allocation of materials to respective cost centers (i.e. job sites). However, the internal control systems of Tala Hydropower Plant need to be strengthened towards issue of stores and allocation of materials to respective cost centers. 26. Electricity generated by the Corporation is being sold mainly to the Power Trading Corporation of India Limited, the sale price of which is fixed mutually by the Royal Government of Bhutan and Government of India. As regards sale of energy to the Bhutan Power Corporation Limited, the selling price is being fixed by the relevant authority, so the question of price fixation by taking into account the cost of production and market condition does not arise. 27. In our opinion, the credit sales policy of the Corporation is reasonable and proper. As stated above in clause 26 of this Annexure, the question of credit rating of customers does not arise. 28. Since the Corporation does not sell electricity through commission agents, this Clause is not applicable. 29. In our opinion, there is a reasonable system of continuous follow up with debtors and other parties. The age-wise analysis of outstanding amounts recoverable from other parties is being carried out for management information and follow up action. 30. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the management of liquid resources particularly cash/bank and short term deposits etc. are adequate and that excessive amounts are not lying idle in non-interest bearing accounts. The Corporation has not withdrawn any excess amounts as loans leading to avoidable interest burden on the company. 31. In our opinion and to the extent our examination reveals, the business activities carried out by the Corporation are lawful and intra-vires to its Articles of Incorporation. 32. Investment decisions related with new projects are made with prior approval of the Board. Investments in new projects are made only after ascertaining the technical and economic feasibility of such new ventures. 33. The Corporation has a suitable budgetary control system. 34. Since the Corporation is engaged in the generation of hydroelectricity, no input output relationship can be established. The Corporation does not have a system of standard costing but operational variances are analyzed at periodic intervals against budgeted norms. 35. In our opinion and to the extent revealed by our examination, the details of remuneration, commission and other payments made in cash or in kind to the Board of Directors including the Managing Director or to any of their relatives by the Corporation, directly or indirectly, are disclosed in Para No. 20 of
