Report on the Audit of standalone financial statements1. Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of ISMT Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022 and the statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âthe Standalone Financial Statementsâ).
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 as amended (âthe Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as amended, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2022 and its profit (including other comprehensive income), the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with Standards on Auditing (âSAsâ) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 (âICAIâ) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules made there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIâs Code of Ethics.
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.
3. Material uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note No 3.22 of the Standalone Financial Statements, which indicates that successful debt resolution is inter alia resulting into positive net worth of the Company and its current liabilities does not exceed its current assets as of March 31,2022. The Company is having cash profit for the year ended March 31,2022. These events and conditions and based on the other matters as set forth in Note No 3.21 of the Standalone Financial Statement,
indicate that a material certainty exists on the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern and are the basis for preparation of Standalone Financial Statements on going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
a) Note No. 3.2 of the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding remuneration to Erstwhile Managing Director and Erstwhile Non-Executive Director of the Company amounting to Rs 2.61 Crore and Rs 0.40 Crore respectively for the period ended March 10, 2022 (Rs. 4.60 Crore cumulative up to March 31, 2022) is subject to approval of appropriate authorities.
b) Note No. 3.13 of the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding write off of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit (Deferred Tax) of Rs 82.05 Crore on exercise of the tax rate option permitted under section 115BAA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as of March 31, 2022.
c) Note No 3.19 and Note No 3.20 of the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding impairment provision made by the Company of Rs 78.41 Crore in respect of its investment (including long term advances considered as equity component) in wholly owned subsidiaries âStructo Hydraulic Swedenâ (SHAB) (including investment through Its Subsidiary Company, ISMT Enterprises S.A., Luxembourg) and âTridem Port and Power Company Private Limitedâ (TPPCL) based on the management assessment and valuation report of independent valuer.
d) Note No. 3.22 of the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding writeback of outstanding principal debt and unpaid interest due to lenders amounting to Rs 2,775.96 Crore pursuant to the One-time settlement of dues with the lenders;
e) Note No. 3.23 (i) of the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding write off of Rs 39.53 Crores Government dues from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) for nonimplementation of Energy Banking Agreement;
f) Note No. 3.23 (ii) of the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding impairment provision made by the Company in respect of carrying value of 40 MW Captive Power Project (CPP) at Chandrapur, Maharashtra of Rs 163.92 Crore based on the management assessment and valuation report of an independent valuer.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above stated matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. 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. We have determined the matters described in Annexure A to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
6. Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other Information comprises the information included in Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditorâs 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, on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditorâs report, 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.
7. Managementâs Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows 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. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 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 standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs
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 are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process 8. Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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;
⢠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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the Standalone 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 auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern; and
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 auditorâs 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.

Report on the Standalone Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of ISMT Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as Ind AS financial statements).
Managementâs Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
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 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. In conducting 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 thereunder and the Order issued under section 143(11) of the Act.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements 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 Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the Ind AS 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 Companyâs Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on Ind AS financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1] The company has outstanding Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) entitlement, classified as Deferred Tax Asset as per Ind AS- 12, Income Taxes, of Rs. 82.05 Crores as on March 31, 2018. Taking into consideration the loss during the period ended March 31, 2018 and carried forward losses under the Income Tax, in our opinion, it is not probable that the MAT entitlement can be adjusted within the specified period against the future taxable profits under the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961. In view of the same, in our opinion, the MAT entitlement cannot be continued to be recognised as an asset in terms of Ind AS-12 and âGuidance note on accounting for credit available in respect of MAT under the Income Tax Act, 1961â. Non-writing off of the same has resulted in understatement of loss for the year ended March 31, 2018 and overstatement of other equity by Rs.82.05 Crores and its consequential effect on the Earnings per Share of the company.
2] The company, through its subsidiary, has invested Rs. 48.43 Crores in Structo Hydraulics AB Sweden (SHAB). Net receivables (net of write offs) to the company from SHAB against the supplies made is Rs. 15.43 Crores and payment made towards invocation of guarantee given by the company in respect of loans availed by SHAB is Rs. 33.33 Crores ( USD 5 Million). The Company has received the approval from regulatory authorities for treating the said payment against invocation as equity investment in SHAB (considered as investment on adoption of Ind AS) and the Company is taking steps for implementation of the same. SHAB has been incurring cash losses and its net worth is also eroded. No provision for diminution in value of investment and net receivable against supplies is made by the company as explained in Note No.3.15. We are unable to comment on the same and ascertain its impact, if any, on the Ind AS financial statements in respect of the above matters.
3] The company had recognized claim in earlier years, ofwhich outstanding balance as on March 31, 2018 is Rs. 39.53 Crores, against Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) for non-implementation of Energy Banking Agreement. The Company had appealed to Appellate Tribunal (APTEL) against the order passed by Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) and the same has been dismissed by the APTEL. The Company has preferred appeal before the honâble Supreme Court against the order of APTEL. The realization of this claim is contingent and dependent upon the outcome of the decision of the Supreme Court. In our opinion the recognition of above claim, being contingent asset in nature, is not in conformity with Ind AS-37, Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets. Recognition of the above claim has resulted in overstatement of other equity by Rs.39.53 Crores. Refer Note No. 3.19(i) forming part of the Ind AS financial statements.
4] Pending approval / sanction of the debt restructuring scheme by the lenders, the Company has not provided for the overdue /penal interest .The quantum and its impact, if any, on the Ind AS financial statements is unascertainable. Refer Note No. 3.17 forming part of the Ind AS financial statements.
Qualified 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 matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the aforesaid Ind AS 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 March 31, 2018, and its loss including total comprehensive income, the changes in equity 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 Ind AS financial statements:
a) Note No. 1.31 regarding remuneration payable to Managing Director and Executive Director amounting to Rs 3.15 Crores for the year ended March 31, 2018 (Rs. 4.39 Crores cumulative up to March 31, 2018) is subject to approval of Central Government.
b) The Company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded, the company has incurred net cash loss during the year ended March 31, 2018 and previous years and the companyâs current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at March 31, 2018. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty about the companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. However, the financial results of the company have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons stated in the Note No.3.16 forming part of the financial statements.
c) Note No. 3.18 in the Ind As financial statements explaining reason for non-provision for diminution, if any, in the value of investment in wholly owned subsidiary Company âTridem Port and Power Company Pvt. Ltdâ of Rs. 108.97 Crores (including advances given of Rs. 106.39 Crores being considered as Investment on adoption of Ind AS) for setting up a thermal power project and captive port, which is discontinued and is held for sale
d) Note No. 3.19(ii) in the Ind As financial statements explaining reason for non-provision for impairment, if any, with respect to carrying value of Rs. 254.00 Crores as on March 31, 2018 of 40 MW Captive Power Project ( CPP) at Chandrapur, Maharashtra, which is non-operational for last three years and is held for sale.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
Other Matters
The comparative financial information of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2017 and the transition date opening Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2016 included in these Ind AS financial statements, are based on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 prepared in accordance with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended), which were audited by predecessor Auditors, whose audit report for the year ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 dated May 30, 2017 and dated May 27 ,2016 respectively expressed an modified opinion on those financial statements. The adjustments to those financial statements for the differences in accounting principles adopted by the Company on transition to the Ind AS have been audited by us.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ISMT Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31,2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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.
Auditorâs 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) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 judgement, 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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 31 March 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'' REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF ISMT LIMITED
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of ISMT LIMITED ("the company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 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.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone 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 auditors'' 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 qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1] The Company has outstanding Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) entitlement of Rs. 82.05 Crore as on March 31, 2016. Taking into consideration the loss during the current financial year and carried forward losses under the Income Tax Act, 1961 in our opinion, there is no convincing evidence that the MAT entitlement can be adjusted within the specified period against the future taxable profits under the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961. In view of the same, in our opinion, the MAT entitlement cannot be continued to be recognized as an asset in terms of "Guidance note on accounting for credit available in respect of MAT under the Income Tax Act, 1961". Non-writing off of the same has resulted in understatement of loss for the year and overstatement of the reserves by Rs. 82.05 Crore and its consequential effect on the Earnings per Share of the company.
2] The company, through its subsidiary, has invested Rs. 48.43 Crore in Struc to Hydraulics AB, Sweden (SHAB). Net receivable, after taking into consideration the provision made against the same, to the company from SHAB against the supplies made is Rs. 10.09 Crore and Rs. 16.58 crore is receivable from SHAB due to invocation of Bank Guarantee and outstanding Bank Guarantee given by the company in respect of loans availed by SHAB is Rs. 16.58 Crore. SHAB has been incurring cash losses and its net worth is also eroded. No provision for diminution in value of investment and net receivable is made by the company as explained in Note No. 3.18 forming part of the financial statements. We are unable to comment on the same and ascertain its impact, if any, on the financial statements in respect of the above matters.
3] The company had recognized claim in earlier year, of which outstanding balance as on March 31, 2016 is Rs. 39.53 Crore, against Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) for non-implementation of Energy Banking Agreement. The company had appealed to Appellate Tribunal (APTEL) against the order passed by Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) and the same has been dismissed by the APTEL. Based on legal advice, the company is in the process to file an appeal against the order of APTEL in the Supreme Court. The realization of this claim is contingent and dependent upon the outcome of the decision of the Supreme Court. In our opinion, the recognition of above claim, being contingent asset in nature, is not in conformity with AS-29, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Recognition of the above claim has resulted in overstatement of Reserves by Rs. 39.53 Crore. Refer Note No. 3.2 (ii) forming part of the financial statements.
Qualified 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 matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, 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 March 31,2016, and its loss 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:
The company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded, the company has incurred a net cash loss during the current and previous years and the company''s current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at the balance sheet date. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty about the company''s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the financial statements of the company have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons stated in the Note No. 3.19 forming part of the financial statements.
Note No. 1.24 regarding remuneration to the Managing Director and Executive Director of the company amounting to Rs. 1.02 Crore provided for in the financial statements is subject to approval of the Central Government.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

ManagementÂs Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The companyÂs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters
stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (Âthe ActÂ)
with respect to the preparation of these standalone 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 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.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
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 thereunder. 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 auditorÂs 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 companyÂs preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the companyÂs 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 for Qualified Opinion
1] The company has outstanding Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) entitlement
of Rs.91.44 Crore as on March 31, 2015. Taking into consideration the
loss during the current financial year and carried forward losses under
the Income Tax, in our opinion there is no convincing evidence that the
MAT entitlement can be adjusted within the specified period against the
future taxable profits under the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961. In
view of the same, in our opinion, the MAT entitlement cannot be
continued to be recognised as an asset in terms of ÂGuidance note on
accounting for credit available in respect ofMAT under the Income Tax
Act, 1961Â. Non-writing off of the same has resulted in
understatement of loss for the year and overstatement of the reserves
by Rs.91.44 Crore and its consequential effect on the Earnings per
Share of the company.
2] The company, through its subsidiary, has invested Rs. 48.43 Crore in
Structo Hydraulics AB Sweden (SHAB). Net receivable, after taking into
consideration the provision made against the same, to the company from
SHAB against the supplies made is Rs. 8.38 Crore and guarantee given by
the company in respect of loans availed by SHAB is Rs. 31.30 Crore.
SHAB has been incurring cash losses and its net worth is also eroded.
No provision for diminution in value of investment and net receivable
is made by the company as explained in Note Number 3.20 forming part of
the financial statements. We are unable to comment on the same and
ascertain its impact, if any, on the financial statements in respect of
the above matters.
3] The company has recognized claim in earlier year, of which
outstanding balance as on March 31, 2015 is Rs. 40.83 Crore, against
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) for
non- implementation of Energy Banking Agreement. The realization of this
claim is contingent and dependent upon the outcome of the decision of
the petition filed with Appellate Tribunal (APTEL) Delhi. In our opinion
the recognition of above claim, being contingent asset in nature, is not
in conformity with AS-29, Provisions, Contingent liabilities and
Contingent assets. Recognition of the above claim has resulted in
overstatement of Reserves by Rs. 40.83 Crore. Refer Note Number 3.2(ii)
forming part the financial statements.
Qualified 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 matters
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, 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 March 31, 2015, and its
loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
financial statements:
Note No. 3.3 explaining the accounting treatment given for write back
of depreciation amounting to Rs. 103.71 Crore consequent to change in
the method of depreciation as well as adoption of useful lives of the
Fixed Assets from the date of acquisition.
Note No. 1.24 regarding remuneration to the Managing Director and
Executive Director amounting to Rs. 0.91 Crore, provided for in the
financial statements is subject to approval of Central Government.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of ISMT Limited,
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, 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 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 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, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. 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
1] The Company has outstanding MAT Credit entitlement of Rs.91.44 Crore
as on March 31, 2014, which in the opinion of the management, based on
the projected future taxable profits, will be utilized within the
stipulated time period prescribed as per the provisions of Income Tax
Act, 1961. Considering the uncertainties around the assumptions used
for projections of future taxable profits and its consequential effect
on utilization of MAT Credit entitlement, we are unable to comment on
the recoverability of Mat Credit entitlement outstanding as at March
31, 2014 and its consequential impact on the Statement of Profit and
Loss for the year ended March 31, 2014 and on the Reserves of the
Company as on that date. Refer Note No. 3.21 forming part the financial
statements.
2] The Company, through its subsidiary, has invested Rs. 48.43 Crore in
Structo Hydraulics AB Sweden (SHAB). Net receivable to the Company from
SHAB against supplies made is Rs 53.85 Crore and guarantee given by the
Company in respect of loans availed by SHAB is Rs. 18.03 Crore. The
Company has been incurring cash losses and the net worth of the Company
is also eroded. In the opinion of the management the investment is
strategic and long term and the debtors are collectible and no
provisioning is required against the same. We are unable to comment on
the same and ascertain its impact, if any, on the financial statements
in respect of the above matters. Refer Note No. 3.20 forming part the
financial statements.
3] The Company has recognized claim made of Rs. 20.03 Crore (Cumulative
up to March 31, 2014 Rs. 49.97 Crore) against Maharashtra State
Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) for non-implementation
of Energy Banking Agreement. The realization of this claim is
contingent and dependent upon the outcome of the decision of the
petition filed with Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission,
Mumbai (MERC). In our opinion the recognition of above claim, being
contingent asset in nature, is not in conformity with AS-29,
Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets. Recognition
of the above claim has resulted in understatement of loss for the year
by Rs. 20.03 Crore and overstatement of Reserves by Rs. 49.97 Crore.
Refer Note Number 3.2(ii) forming part the financial statements.
