ANNEXURE 2 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CIMMCO LIMTED
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3ofSection 143oftheCompaniesAct, 2013("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of CIMMCO LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2017, 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 controls 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 the 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.
Auditor''s 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 as specified 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.
An 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 controls 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 qualified audit opinion on the internal financial controls 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.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness has been identified as at March 31,2017:
Attention is drawn to Basis for qualified opinion paragraph of Auditors'' Report on Standalone Financial Statements more fully described therein, regarding lease rent receivable from Indian Railways of Rs 854.81 lacs (Rs 759.83 lacs as at March 31,2016), net of expected credit loss amounting to Rs. 3097.53 lacs, measured and recognized as on the date of transition based on the management''s estimate of time for final outcome of the matter in Court/Arbitration proceedings and adjusted with opening retained earnings. Pending outcome of Companyâs appeal against the arbitration order and final decision of the Court, we are unable to comment on the recoverability of the above, and its consequential impact on these financial statements. This could potentially result in misstatement of Companyâs other financial assets.
A âmaterial weaknessâs 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, the Company has, in all material respects, maintained adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017, 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 Auditor Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and except for the possible effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31,2017.
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the financial statements of Cimmco Limited, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2017, the Statement of Profit and Loss including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Material weakness as described above was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31,2017 standalone financial statements of Cimmco Limited and this report does not affect our report dated May 18,2017, which expressed a qualified opinion on those financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT
To the Members of CIMMCO LIMITED Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CIMMCO LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement forth year then ended, and a summary of significant counting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with 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 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 the 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 misstatements, 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 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, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 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 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 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 financial statements.
Basis for qualified opinion
We draw attention to note no. 13(i) regarding certain claims of Rs 3,952.35 lacs (Rs 3,952.35 lacs as at March 31, 2015), which has been considered good of recovery by the management. Although the management is hopeful to recover the claims in full, pending final decision of the Court, we are unable to comment on its recoverability including consequential impact that may arise in this regard in these financial statements. This had also caused us to qualify our audit opinion on the financial statements for the year ended March 31,2015.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effect of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and Fairview in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2016, its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter

The Company has filed an appeal against the said award with the Hon''ble High Court of Delhi in respect of which, a stay has been granted by the Hon''ble High Court. Pending final decision of the Hon''ble High Court, the Company has not given any effect to the above demand in these financial statements. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

ANNEXURE 2 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CIMMCO LIMTED
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3ofSection 143of the Companies Act, 2013("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of CIMMCO LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2016, in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 the 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.
Auditor''s 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 as specified 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.
An 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 qualified audit opinion on the internal financial controls 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 over ride 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.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31,2016:
Attention is drawn to Basis for qualified opinion paragraph of Auditors âReport on Financial Statements more fully described therein, regarding certain claims of Rs 3,952.35 lacs (Rs 3,952.35 lacs as at March 31, 2015), which has been considered good of recovery by the management. Although the management is hopeful to recover the claims in full, pending final decision of the Court, we are unable to comment on its recoverability. This could potentially result in misstatement of Company''s Other Assets.
A âmaterial weaknessâs a deficiency, ora 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, the Company has, in all material respects, maintained adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting as of March 31,
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 Auditor Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and except for the possible effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31,2016.
Explanatory paragraph
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act, the financial statements of Cimmco Limited, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, and the related 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.

("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015,
the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year
then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other

Management's Responsibility for the 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 financial statements that give a true and
Fairview of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with 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 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 the 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 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, issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as 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 controls 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
controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such internal control. 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 on the financial statements.

4,695.36 lacs (Rs 4,899.34 lacs as at 31 st March 2014), net of Rs
150.00 lacs received under a guarantee given by the Company, which have
been considered good and recoverable by the management. Although the
management is hopeful to recover the claims in full, pending decision
of the Courts/ Arbitration proceedings we are unable to comment on
their recoverability and any consequential impact arising there from in
these financial statements. Our audit opinion on the financial
statements for the previous year was also qualified in respect of the
above matter.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Cimmco Limited
("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2013,
and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the
year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including 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. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by the 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
We draw attention to the following Notes on the financial statements:
i. Note No. 33 regarding demand ofRs. 1325 lacs (Rs. 1800 lacs as at
31st March 2012) plus interest thereon (amount unascertainable) made by
Asset
Reconstruction Company (India) Limited (ARCIL), which is disputed by
the Company and hence, no provision there against has been made in the
accounts. Pending outcome of the matter, the impact, if any, of the
above non provision is presently unascertainable. Our audit opinion on
the financial statements for the previous year was also qualified in
respect of the above matter.
ii. Note No. 13.2 regarding certain claims of Rs. 4899.34 lacs (Rs.
4899.34 lacs as at 31st March 2012), net of Rs. 150 lacs received under
a guarantee given by the Company, which have been considered good of
recovery by the management. Pending decision of the Courts/Arbitration
proceedings, the recoverability of these claims is presently
unascertainable, although the management is hopeful to recover these
claims in full. This matter was covered as emphasis of matter in our
audit opinion on the financial statements for the previous year.
Hi. Note No. 11 regarding recognition of net deferred tax asset (DTA)
of Rs. 131.00 lacs on unabsorbed depreciation and brought forward
business tosses upto 31st March 2013, based on the future profitability
projections made by the management. We are unable to express an opinion
on the virtual certainty of achieving these projections as required by
Accounting Standard 22, Accounting for Taxes on Income, and the
consequential impact, if any, of the recognition of such deferred
taxasset.
Had the impact of item (Hi )stated above been considered, the loss for
the year would have been Rs. 1,131.27 lacs as against the reported loss
of Rs. 1,000.27 lacs and net deficit in the Statement of Profit and
Loss in the Reserves and Surplus would have been Rs. 2,723.72 lacs as
against the reported net deficit of Rs. 2,592.72 lacs.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the
matters (i) and (ii) and effect of the matter (iii) described in the
Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements give
the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give

generally accepted in India :

4899.34 lacs (net of Rs. 150 lacs received under a guarantee given by
the Company) which have been considered good of recovery since the
management, based on the current status of negotiation is hopeful to

vii. Attention is drawn to Note No. 32 on the financial statements
regarding non provision against demand of Rs. 1800 lacs plus interest
thereon (amount unascertainable) made by Asset Reconstruction Company

exists there against after ARCIL has invoked its security of pledged
