Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Asian Energy Services Limited (''the Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flow and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
2. I n 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 (''the Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (''Ind ASâ) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, and its loss (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 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 (''ICAIâ) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
4. We draw attention to Note 43 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, regarding the Companyâs investments amounting to 651.50 Lakhs in its wholly owned subsidiary company, Asian Oilfield and Energy Services DMCC (''ADMCCâ) as on March 31, 2023. In the current year, ADMCC has incurred losses and the contract with its only customer has been terminated. ADMCC is in the process of negotiations with the aforesaid customer for recovering the amounts due including proposal for novation of liability towards its vendors as explained further in the aforesaid note. Accordingly, the Companyâs management believes that ADMCCâs funds attributable to the Company in its capacity as a shareholder exceeds the carrying value of investment in the accompanying standalone financial statements and accordingly, no impairment in the carrying amount of such investment is required to be made in the accompanying standalone financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matter
5. 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 financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
6. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report. |
|
Key audit matter |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
Revenue recognition Revenue for the Company consists primarily of Oilfield and related services provided in the Energy sector and is recognized in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 1(d) to the accompanying standalone financial statements. Refer Note 23 and Note 45 to the accompanying standalone financial statements for details of revenue recognized during the year. Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (''Ind AS 115â) requires management to make certain key judgments relating to identifying contracts with customers, performance obligations involved in contracts and revisions |
Our audit procedures around revenue recognition included, but were not restricted to, the following: a) Obtained the understanding of the revenue and receivable business process and assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policy adopted by the Company for revenue recognition in accordance with Ind AS 115. b) Evaluated the design and implementation, and tested the operating effectiveness of the key internal controls around revenue recognition including controls around contract approvals, invoice approval, determining the amount of variable consideration and recording of receipt. |
thereto, determining transaction price which involves variable consideration elements including estimation of levy of liquidated damages or penalty or warranty claims by its customers, allocation of the transaction price to such performance obligations and satisfaction of performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue from 2D / 3D seismic survey (including data capturing and installing vibrator points) and operations & maintenance service on offshore platform upon imparting of services and revenue from engineering and construction services is recognized over time when the performance obligations are satisfied, which is determined in accordance with the arrangement with the customers. We have identified recognition of revenue as key audit matter since: 1) Significance of management judgement and estimate involved as mentioned above, and the materiality of amounts involved, and 2) Significant auditor attention required to audit revenue recorded during the year which has been identified as a significant risk as per the requirements of Standards of Auditing. |
c) Performed substantive testing by selecting a sample of continuing and new contracts entered with customers during the year and performed following procedures: i. Analyzed the contracts and identified distinct performance obligations in such contracts. ii. Compared these performance obligations with those identified and recorded by the Company. iii. Considered the terms of the contracts to determine the transaction price and any variable consideration elements including levy of liquidated damages and, penalty and warranty claims. d) Reviewed the allowance/ provision for expected liquidated damages, penalty and warranty obligation, created by the management on the invoicing done for the various projects from time-to-time, where contract milestones were not met. e) Where projects are sub-contracted, reviewed the terms of agreement between the Company and its sub- contractor to support managementâs assessment in applicable cases that liquidated damages and penalty, if any charged, would be recoverable from such sub-contractor in case of any delay to the extent of work subcontracted. f) Performed test of details on a sample of revenue transactions recorded during the year, including specific periods before and after the year-end. For the samples selected, inspected supporting documents, including contracts and related amendments for revisions to performance obligations or price terms, daily progress reports, and invoices to ensure that the correct amount of revenue is recorded in the correct period. g) Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of the disclosures made in the standalone financial statements for revenue recorded during the year. |
Information other than the Financial Statements and
Auditor''s Report thereon
7. The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and analysis Report and Directorâs Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Directorâs Report are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
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 identified above when it becomes available 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.
When we read the Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Directorâs Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with
Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
8. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Companyâs Board of Directors. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
9. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
10. Those Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements
11. 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
12. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Act we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 Board of
Directorsâ 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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 Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

MANAGEMENTâS RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANcIAL cONTROLS
2. The companyâs Board of Directors 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 (âthe Guidance 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 the Companyâs 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 act.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. 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 iFcoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the iFcoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of iFcoFR included obtaining an understanding of iFcoFR, 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the companyâs iFcoFR.
meaning of internal financial controls over financial reporting
6. a companyâs iFcoFR 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 iFcoFR 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
7. Because of the inherent limitations of iFcoFR, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. AIso, projections of any evaluation of the iFcoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that iFcoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
opinion
8. i n our opinion, the company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls 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 issued by the icai.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act; safeguarding the assets of the Company; 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.

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.
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 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 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, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial control 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 Company's Directors, as well as

conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 st March, 2015, and its
loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter

managerial remuneration of Rs. 83.30 Lacs paid by the Company to their
whole time director which exceeds the limits as per the provisions of
