The Members of ABG Shipyard Limited

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of ABG Shipyard Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31^st, 2016, 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 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 in 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.

Auditor''s 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 have 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 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 and fair presentation 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 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. Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. Note No. 11 to the financial statements. Due to prolonged suspension of construction activities of some of the Plant Assets in Dahej Shipyard facilities, expenses incurred and capitalized so far on those assets, related advances given to suppliers and contractors, the physical condition of these assets under construction require technical evaluation to determine impairments or write off, if any. However, in the view of the management, the suspension of construction activities of these assets is temporary in nature and assets under construction are not obsolete, and the company will be able to resume construction activities in the near future and hence no provision is required to be made. Management has informed us that the recoverable amount of Assets within the meaning of Accounting Standard 28 is more than their carrying value and as such no amount needs to be recognized in the financial statements for impairment loss. We have not been able to validate this assertion in the absence of internal exercise or external valuation report of an independent agency and the uncertainty of resumption of future operations/results of operations thereafter. Further, in absence of physical verification of Fixed Assets and capital work in progress at Dahej Shipyard, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of Plant Assets at Dahej Shipyard.

2. Note No. 17 (c) to the financial statements which details various loans, advances and receivables from related parties. In respect of these loans, advances and receivables the deliverables and receipts are outstanding for a long time. Absence of recoveries from these parties since several years indicates the existence of material uncertainty that may cast doubts on the recoverability of the loans and advances. However, in the view of the management no provision is required considering that these entities are related parties and as such the balances are considered good and recoverable by the management. As such loans are interest free, and there is no stipulation of repayment date we consider that, prima facie, the terms and conditions of such loans are prejudicial to the interest of the Company. We are unable to comment on the recoverability of loans and advances and ascertain the impact, if any, on the financial statements.

3. Note No.18 to the financial statements, regarding subsidy receivable. The Company had recognized for subsidy under Ship Building Subsidy Scheme in earlier years, out of which subsidy of Rs. 49,964.89 Lacs is still receivable as on 31st March, 2016. The receipt of aforesaid Subsidy is dependent upon completion of vessels and compliance with other terms and conditions of the Ship Building Subsidy Scheme of the Government of India. In view of the uncertainty involved with respect to availability of working capital as required for completion of vessels and continuing default in CDR terms as well as low key operations at Surat and no operation at Dahej, there is a material uncertainty of completion of vessels and realization of the subsidy. The Company has not made provision for the possible impact of the recoverability of the same.

4. Note No. 39 to the financial statements. The Financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has defaulted in repayment of loans and covenants of the CDR scheme of lenders. There has been suspension of operations at Dahej unit and low key operation at Surat unit. Further, there are civil and criminal proceedings pending before Judicial Authorities seeking compensations, liquidation of the Company and punishment to Directors/ Officers of the company. The company has suffered recurring losses and its net worth has eroded. All these conditions indicate a significant doubt about the going concern. The Financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the aforesaid 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, 2016, and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of matters

We draw attention to:

1. Note No. 12(d) to the financial statements. The Company has investments in subsidiaries and related parties amounting to Rs. 22,012.51 Lacs as on the balance sheet date. In absence of availability of the audited financial statements of the investee companies, we are unable to ascertain or quantify whether any provision is required to be made for the impairment of these investments. In the view of the management the investments are long term in nature and there is no permanent diminution in the value of investments requiring adjustment to the financial statements.

2. i) Note No. 14(b) to the financial statements. The company follows accounting practice of recognizing revenue under Accounting

Standard 7 on the basis of estimated cost, cost so far incurred and estimated profit or loss out of shipbuilding contracts. The cost estimates are done by company and we have relied on the same. A technical evaluation was carried out by the Company, of the inventory of Ships and Rigs under construction and the valuation of Work in progress recognized as per AS 7 as well as for the future foreseeable losses in the current economic scenario. The technical evaluation has been done in phases and is not completed for rigs and certain ships. Hence, we are unable to comment on further impairment, if any, which may pertain to the values of rigs and certain ships as appearing in books of Accounts as Work in Progress. In the view of the management, adequate provision for estimated future foreseeable losses is provided in the books of accounts.

ii) Note No. 14(c) to the financial statements. The Company has concluded Rig building contract with respect to two rigs. The Company is in the process of negotiating the final settlement with these customers. Pending settlement, company continues to show a sum of Rs 175,221.86 Lacs as inventory of rigs under the head Work in Progress and as advance received under Progress Money from customers. The impact of this, on the net current asset is Nil.

3. Note No. 17 (d) to the financial statements which details various advances to certain parties that are outstanding for a long time. In respect of these advances, no materials or services have been received by the company. Reduction of company''s activity, aged outstanding, and absence of balance confirmation of outstanding from these parties, indicates the existence of material uncertainty that may cast doubts on the recoverability of these advances or deliverables against the same. However, in the view of the management, no provision is required to be done as such balances are considered good and recoverable.

4. Note No. 40(2) to the financial statements. The Company has not provided Managerial Remuneration for the managing director after October 2015 as it would then exceed the provision of section 197 read with Schedule V to the Companies Act, 2013.

5. The company has defaulted in repayment of loans and covenants of CDR schemes of lenders. As regards contingency related to “compensation payable in lieu of Bank Sacrifice” the outcome is materially uncertain and cannot be determined in terms of its monetary impact on the financial statements. The Company''s Management is of the view that the company is an operative Company and such contingency may not arise

6. Loan statements pertaining to certain Loans from some banks and financial institutions representing book balances of Rs 89,198.57 Lacs, have not been received and reconciled. Further, due to pending clarification and confirmation from some banks for certain current/cash credit accounts, entries have not been reconciled. Hence the effect, if any, of such pending reconciliations, on financial statements remains unascertained.

7. Some customers, creditors as well as Statutory Authorities have initiated legal proceedings against the company, which may result in compensation, interest and penalties. The possible impact of the same on financial result cannot be ascertained, pending such outcome.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

iii) There has been no delay in transferring amounts, required to be transferred, to the Investor Education and Protection Fund by the Company.

On the basis of such checks as we considered appropriate and according to the information and explanations given to us during the course of our audit, we report that:

i. (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of Fixed

Assets;

(b) The Fixed Assets of the company are substantially located in two Shipyards i.e., Surat and Dahej. Fixed Assets situated at Surat, have been physically verified in a phased manner by the management during the year as per the program of verification. As informed to us, no material discrepancies were noticed between book records and physical verification at Surat. In our opinion, the verification at Surat was reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and nature of its Asset. However we were informed that no physical verification of Fixed Assets has been carried out at Dahej. Such Assets at Dahej constitutes approx 84% of the Total Gross Block of fixed assets, hence we are unable to comment whether there exists any material discrepancies between the physical balance and book balance.

(c) The title deeds of immovable properties are held in the name of the Company, except for certain freehold lands at Dahej having gross block value of Rs 72.93 Lacs and net book value of Rs 72.93 Lacs is yet pending registration with concerned authorities. We have not been provided with information regarding status of pending registration of immovable properties at Surat & Kolkata, hence we are unable to comment on same.

ii. According to the information and explanations given to us, the inventory has been physically verified during the year by the management at its Surat Shipyard. The frequency of verification is reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business and on the basis of the records of inventory. However as the physical verification had not been carried out during the year under reporting at Dahej Shipyard and inventories lying with Customs Authorities/ Bonded Warehouse, we are unable to make any comment on the same as to whether any discrepancy exists between book balance and physical balance of those inventories.

iii. The Company has not updated register under section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013 hence we cannot rely on the same. The company has given interest free loans to various group companies and attention is drawn to note no. 17 of the Financial Statements.

As such loans are interest free, and there is no stipulation of repayment date, we consider that prima facie the terms and conditions of such loans are prejudicial to the interest of the Company.

As there is no stipulation as to repayment date of principal amount, hence clause (iii) (b) & (c) of the order are not commented on.

iv. According to the information and explanations given to us, the Company has not given loans covered under section 185. The Company had loans to certain parties covered under section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, in respect of which no interest has been charged, which is not in compliance with section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013.

v. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there are no deposits accepted from the public, hence paragraph 3(v) of the Order is not applicable.

vi. We could not review the cost records maintained by the Company pursuant to the Section 148(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 due to non availability of such records for our review, and hence we are unable to give our opinion as to prima facie, whether the prescribed cost records have been maintained.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (f) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ABG Shipyard Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone 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. 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 “Guidance Note”) 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

According to the information and explanation given to us and based on our audit the following material weakness has been identified as the adequacy and operative effectiveness of the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting as at 31^st March 2016.

1. The Company''s internal controls on with regard to timeliness and in consolidating the information from remote location and reconciliation of accounts were not operating effectively.

2. The Company had no internal audit department which could carry on internal audit and risk assessment functions.

3. The Company lacks trained personal for their secretarial and legal compliance which could potentially result in failure to comply with laws and regulations in a timely manner.

A ''material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial control over financial reporting and such internal financial control over financial reporting were operating effectively as of 31^st 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 on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have considered the material weaknesses identified and report above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit test applied in our audit of the 31^st March, 2016 standalone financial statements of the Company and this material weaknesses do not affect our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company.
