Annexure B to Independent Auditors Report for indowind Energy Limited
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Indowind Energy Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âthe ICAIâ). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company''s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company''s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Basis of Qualified Opinion
As mentioned in Note No. 1, the financial statements of the company have been prepared on a Going Concern basis. However, as mentioned in our basis of qualified opinion / emphasis of matters there are matters pending in litigation with courts and Appellate authorities. The final outcome of these litigations is uncertain. The company has followed accounting practices which are in deviation from accounting standards prescribed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India as described under Emphasis of Matter. The outcome of some of these events, if unfavorable from the company''s standpoint, can cast significant doubts on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, âexcept for the effects of the matter described in the paragraphs âBasis of Qualified Opinionâ and âEmphasis of Matterâ, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, in the case of standalone Balance Sheet of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2016, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date. Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the financial statements:
1. We draw your attention to Note No. 9 of financial statements under fixed assets regarding capitalization of 4.2 MW out of 5.8 MW wind farm project for Rs. 48.60 Crores out of 24 MW expansion project.
The capitalization was done by way of a Transfer agreement with suppliers towards settlement of project advances made in the past. We had expressed our qualified opinion in earlier audit reports regarding the recoverability of the project advances.
2. Note No. 5 of the financial statements in respect of the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern which is in part dependent on the successful outcome of the decision regarding the liquidation petition by the bond holders before the Honorable Madras High Court.
3. In accordance with Accounting Standard - 11 (Standard on The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates), the Company is required to value its monetary assets and liabilities viz., Long Term Provisions at the foreign exchange rate prevailing on the date of the balance sheet. The company has not re-instated the foreign currency term loan disclosed under Note No 4 & 7 amounting to Rs. 57.30 Crores representing a part of the loan amount taken from EXIM Bank at the yearend forex rates. Had the same been re-instated, the profit for the financial year ended 31st March 2016 as per the statement of profit & loss account, would have been decreased by Rs. 25.98 Crores.
4. Note No. 9 in respect of Depreciation. The company has to compute depreciation in accordance with the Schedule II to the Companies Act which provides useful lives to compute the depreciation. However, the company has computed depreciation in a manner which is inconsistent with Schedule II of the Companies Act. Had the depreciation been provided in compliance with the provisions of Schedule II, the profit would have decreased by Rs. 1.29 Crores.
5. Note No. 15 in respect of cash and equivalents. In our opinion Rs 30 Lakhs grouped under cash and cash equivalents requires provisioning since the bank has not confirmed this balance and the quality of the asset is doubtful. Had the same been provided for, the profit for the year would have been decreased by Rs. 30 Lakhs
6. Note No. 19 in respect of other income. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard AS 29 (Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets) an entity shall not recognize a contingent asset as this may result in recognition of income which is uncertain. Had this income not been recognized, the profit for the year would have decreased by Rs. 1.25 Crores.
7. Note No. 14 of financial statements in respect of trade receivables of Rs. 2.93 Crores. The Company had provided interest on the belated payments from TANGEDCO and BESCOM, during the financial year 2014-15 in accordance with terms of the Power Purchase Agreement. However the same has not been acknowledged as payable by the electricity boards.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the matters mentioned above.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Indowind Energy Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of 31st March, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013. Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Emphasis of Matter
We would draw attention to the matters disclosed in the paragraph 1 under the heading ''Basis of Qualified opinion''; the Paragraph 1 to 7 under the heading ''Emphasis of matter'' and the paragraph 3(i)(c) and 3(viii) of the ''Annexure A'' referred in paragraph 1 under the heading ''Report on Other Legal & Regulatory Requirement'', which could indicate possible lapses in internal financial control system at various points in time.
Our opinion under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of the section 143 of the Act is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in
the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made
there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10)of the Act. Those Standards require that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about

Basis of Qualified Opinion
(i) We draw your attention to the Note. No. 12 of Financial Statements
regarding the Project Advances amounting to Rs.44.60 Crores made as
part of the 24 MW wind farm expansion project. This transaction has
occurred outside India, during the financial year 2011 -12. We have in
the past drawn your attention to the lack of information concerning the
supply schedule and non confirmation of balance by the party. In view of
the above facts, we are unable to comment on the substance of the
transaction and its disclosure in the accompanying financial
statements. In the absence of any information about the progress of the
project or legal proceedings in the Court of Law we are unable to
comment about the recoverability of the amount and / or acquisition of
WEGs for which the payments have been made. The consequential financial
impact on the profit and loss account and the net-worth of the Company
forthefinancialyearended31stMarch,2015is indeterminable.
(ii) We draw your attention to Point 2 (d) in the paragraph "Report on
other Legal & Regulatory requirements" for effect on Profit & Loss of
the company on account of non-compliance of Accounting Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
described in the paragraphs- Basis of Qualified Opinion" and "Emphasis
of Matter", the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the
information required by the 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 31st March, 2015, and its profit and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
financial statements:

Investments. In the absence of information, we are unable to comment
whether any provision for diminution, other than temporary, in the
value of investments, in India Wind Power Private Ltd., to the extent
of Rs. 100 Lakhs, needs to be made.
(iii) Note No. 15 of the Financial Statements in respect of cash & cash
equivalents. In our opinion, Rs.30 lakhs grouped under cash & cash
equivalents requires Provisioning since the Bank has not confirmed this
balance and the Quality of the Asset is doubtful. Had the same been
provided for, the Profit for the year would have been decreased by Rs.30
lakhs.
(iv) Note No. 19of Financial Statements in respect of Rs.2,93,10,704/-
accounted as Interest from Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) and
Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM), in respect of delayed

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Indowind
Energy Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2013, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The company had made payment for machinery advance to the tune of
$15.25 million (i.e. Rs. 68,99,14,581/-). There has been a delay in
the supply of machinery and release of bank funds, as a result the
completion of the project has been delayed. The company on its part has
initiated arbitration proceeding. No provision has been made for any
potential losses which may arise in the future on this project.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
described in the paragraph- Basis for Qualified Opinion", the financial
statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India:
a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31,2013;
b) in the case of the Profit and Loss Account,of the profit for the
year ended on that date;and
c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows forthe
year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw your attention to the following notes on which we are not
expressing qualified opinion as it does not affect the financial
statements materially:
Loss arising out of foreign currency fluctuations out of partial
settlement of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and certain advances
have been classified as unamortised expenses, grouped under "Other
Current Assets" to be written off over the period of time. In the case
of loss arising out of foreign currency fluctuation, the decision to
write-off will be taken after meeting the entire foreign currency
convertible bonds redemption commitments.[(refer18(a)(ii)]
