Report on the audit of Ind AS Financial Statements Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Enkei Wheels (India) Limited (“the Company”) which comprise the Balance Sheetas at March 31, 2019, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flow and 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”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (‘Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and the accounting principles generally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2019, its profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section 143(10) of Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 (“ICAI”) 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 ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the attached Ind AS financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of these Ind AS 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 below to be key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

a) Assessment of Impairment

During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company, as a prudent measure, has carried out impairment testing, on an extensive basis, of its Property Plant & Equipment, though as per past assessments, there was no indication of impairment of any of its assets /Group of assets to which assets belong.

The Company has concluded that, the value in use calculated as per the impairment testing / procedures laid down under IND AS 36, “ Impairment of Assets” is more than carrying value of assets listed in the Fixed Asset Register for impairment testing and therefore no impairment loss is to be recognised in respect of assets considered for impairment testing.

For calculation of value in use for assets or cash generating units, the management has made cash flow projections with incremental borrowing rate as discount rate, Assumptions are made for the proportion of variable cost in relation to the product revenue. Assumptions are also made for the amount of increase in fixed costs over the future period. Land has not been considered for impairment for obvious reasons. Impact of working capital changes and currency fluctuations on future cash flows have been ignored.

Fixed costs have been allocated to the cash generating unit in proportion to the estimated future revenue of the cash generating unit to the total estimated future revenue.

We, as the auditors, evaluated the appropriateness of management identification of the cash generating units. Our procedures included discussion with management personnel on the reasonableness of the assumptions and projections. We have also tested the mathematical accuracy of cash flow projections, which we understandingly found to be on a conservative basis.

b) Inventory reconciliation and valuation

The Company is in the process of implementing the system of bar codes / tagging all kinds of inventories held at its plant and warehouses. At present, tagging / bar codes is prevalent at its plant, but for the selected items of inventories. Further, currently movement of finished goods in tracked manually and thus the Company has planned for its system upgradaton for tracking slow-moving and non-moving items of finished goods in the current financial year.

The inventory of finished goods maintained by the Company at its plant and warehouses is quite substantial, which has not always been the case in earlier years. The customers have not been prompt enough to place /confirm the delivery schedules because of slight recession in the automobile industry at that point of time. Post March 31, 2019, the significant part of the year-end inventories has been liquidated.

Establishing product costing requires many instances of management judgment with effect on the reported values. This includes considering normal production levels, foreign currency, prices of raw materials and allocation of other direct and indirect costs. Currently, the allocation of direct overheads and fixed costs to the inventory is on the basis of fair estimates and reasonable judgments. The Company is in the process of developing systems to allocate the overheads on actual and real time basis. The significant accounting policies (note 2.4 (i) include principles for inventory valuation and cost composition and note 10 provides the break of total inventories

Our audit covered the following in respect of inventories and its valuation.

- Participation in physical stock takes by the Company at its plant and warehouses and tested the cut-off of deliveries in an out of inventories including the inventories which were in transit as at close of the financial year.

- Comparison of book stock with physical stock of finished goods, on a test-check basis. The shortage of 581 units (with value Rs. 7,47,968/- in aggregate) noticed at one of its warehouses, has been written off as a loss to the statement of profit and loss by the Company. Further, stores & spares of Rs. 8,79,314/have also been written off as expenses, in the absence of corresponding units in the system.

- Checking of inventory reconciliation - (both in terms of quantity and value) manually in co-ordination with the Company and found satisfactory.

- Testing, on a sample basis, inventory of raw materials and consumables to the landed cost workings which are prepared on monthly basis by the Company.

- NRV Testing, on a sample basis to ensure inventory is not overvalued. i.e. over and above the cost and we found it satisfactory.

- Relied on management representations that there are no inventories of slow /non-moving nature and estimates and assumptions used in allocation of indirect and fixed overheads.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the [information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis. Board’ Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s 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 Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind As financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 Ind As 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 Ind AS 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 system 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 the Company’s management

- Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in Ind AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

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(‘the Guidance Note”).issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

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, prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company.

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.

There is scope of improvement in the system by Company by automation of few of its processes which, currently, are being done manually - for e.g. material planning, material scheduling, tracking of movement in finished goods, inventory valuation, etc. The Company needs to strengthen IT controls and document IT policies.

Further, the Company needs to strengthen and update its frequency of physical verification and related documentation in respect of its fixed assets which prima facie should cover, capex polices, technical certifications in respect of commissioning of plant, useful lives asset tagging, fixed asset register etc to safeguard the losses.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, 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.

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following deficiencies & weaknesses have been identified in internal financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31, 2017.

a) The existing rules, policies, and some of its key business processes including that in respect of assets and related expenditure have remained to be documented, updated and strengthened to cover all components and facets of internal control.
