1. Food Processing Machinery Unit, Aurangabad:

As per information and explanation given to us with regard to Inventory valuation as stated in Note No. 2 (ii) (j) stock of raw material, it is valued by adopting Weighted Average Cost method. However, in the inventory statement provided for verification purpose, the correctness of stock items rates could not be verified due to absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. Owing to the nature of Company''s records and in the absence of sufficient audit evidence, we are unable to ascertain if there is material departure from the Weighted Average Cost Method adopted by the company. We are also unable to ascertain its consequent impact, if any, on the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Other Information ["Information Other than the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon"]

The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the Other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s Annual Report but does not include the Standalone Ind AS financial statements and our Auditor''s report thereon. The Other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of Auditor''s report.

Our opinion on the Standalone 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 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 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. However, as the Board''s Report is not made available to us, we have nothing to report.

Management''s Responsibility for Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity 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. 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 implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Ind AS financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements:

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 Standalone Ind AS financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism through the audit. We also:

â¢ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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.

â¢ 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.

â¢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

â¢ 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 ability of the Company 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 Standalone Ind AS 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.

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

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.

REVISED INDEPENDENT AUDITORâS REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF HMT Limited

Report on the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements:

On completion of audit of accounts of HMT Limited (âthe Company) for the year 2017 - 2018, we had rendered our audit report dated June 19, 2018.

Managementâs Responsibility for the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements:

The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial position), loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Ind AS standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditorâs Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS standalone financial statements based on our audit.

We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the rules made there under.

We conducted our audit of the Ind AS standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS standalone financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the Ind AS standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companyâs Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS standalone 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 Ind AS standalone financial statements.

Basis of our Qualified Opinion:

1. Food Processing Machinery Unit, Aurangabad:

a) As per information and explanation given to us with regards to the valuation of inventory as stated in Note No. 1.9) and 5) amounting to Rs. 317.47 lakhs, stock of materials (including stock considered in, raw materials, WIP and FG) are valued by adopting Weighted Average Cost Method. However, in the inventory software for many stock items rates were not updated because of which respective stocks were valued at Nil. These were later manually updated based on the Purchase Orders available. Owing to the nature of Unitâs records and in the absence of sufficient audit evidence, we are unable to ascertain if there is material departure from the Weighted Average Cost Method followed by the Company.

b) With regards to provision for non-moving inventory as stated in Note No.5) amounting to Rs.89.90 lakhs, the Company has relied on the report generated from the inventory software, however as discussed in the above paragraph, even in this report, the rates have not been updated against many stock items. Accordingly, the value of non-moving inventory is understated, consequently affecting the provision for non-moving inventory and thereby profit of the Company.

The effects of the above on the Ind AS standalone financial statements is not ascertainable.

2. Tractor Business Group, Pinjore (including Hyderabad Assembly Project & Mohali unit):

The unit has sought confirmations of most of Trade Receivables, Trade Payables, Loans & Advances, although Balances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation if any and the effect on the same on Ind AS Standalone financial statements is not ascertainable.

3. Common Services Division:

Attention is invited to note 45 in respect of reconciliation of GST collected on sales, input tax credit availed which is subject to reconciliation. We are unable to express any independent opinion on the same.

3. Corporate Head Office (âCHOâ):

The Company contributes provident fund to its employees to a provident fund trust, which is a defined benefit plan. As per Ind AS - 19, the Company as a whole has not obtained the actuarial valuation report and accounted for employerâs contribution. Effect on the same on Ind AS Standalone financial statements is not ascertainable.

Qualified Opinion:

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of the reports of other Branch Auditors, except for the effects of the matter described in the â Basis of our Qualified Opinionâ paragraph, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India , of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at March 31, 2018, and its profits (financial performance including other comprehensive income), the changes in the equity and the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter:In respect of the Company as a whole:

Attention of the members is invited to note 45 of the standalone financial statements regarding reasons for preparing these standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company on going concern basis, notwithstanding the fact that the net worth of the Company is completely eroded. The appropriateness of the said basis is inter alia dependent on the Companyâs ability to realise from sale of non-current assets held for sale, support from Government of India and other business plans. We have also relied on the representation of the Company in this respect.

In respect of Tractor Business Group, Pinjore:

i) During the year, the Company has received certain claim of Rs.2,975.66 lacs from six vendors who are reported as Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises as defined in Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Act, 2006 which has not been reported in the aforesaid standalone financial statements as contingent liabilities.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ):

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of HMT Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls:

The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on âthe 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 Indiaâ. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ).

Auditorsâ Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting:

A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 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 companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting:

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Disclaimer Opinion:

In case of Food Processing Machinery Unit, Aurangabad the branch auditor has reported in the following manner:

The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for inventory with regard to inventory valuation, as the process of mutual updating the purchase rates in the inventory software are not adequately getting updated in the system. Further, the internal control system for identification and allocation of overheads to inventory was also not adequate. These could potentially result in material misstatements in the companyâs consumption, inventory and expense account balances.

The Physical verification of assets was carried out for the FY 2015-16, however we could not find a reconciliation of such verification with the fixed assets register, thus an effective internal financial control may be evolved to ensure that there should not be any mismatch between the fixed asset register and physical assets with respect to the make of the asset, serial number and location which could potentially result in a material weakness in the process of verification of fixed assets.

The Company did not have adequate appropriate internal controls for reconciling and obtaining balance confirmation from sundry debtors, sundry creditors and other parties. This could potentially result in a material weakness, in the financial reporting process of debtors and creditors.

The Company did not have appropriate internal controls for reconciliations and confirmations of Earnest Money Deposits, Security Deposits and other Deposits which could potentially result in a material weakness, in financial reporting process of current assets and current liabilities.

A âMaterial weaknessâ 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 companyâs annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our opinion, because of 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 controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of 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 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 reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements of the company as at and for the year ended March 31, 2018, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the financial statements of the company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the financial statements.

In respect of Corporate Head Office, Bangalore, Common Services Division, Bangalore and Tractor Division, Pinjore:

The system of internal financial controls over financial reporting with respect of Tractor Division, Pinjore, Common services division and Corporate Head Office, Bangalore were not made available to us to enable us to determine if the Company has established the adequate internal financial control over financial reporting at the aforesaid divisions and whether such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018.

We have considered the disclaimer reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the Ind AS standalone financial statements of the Company, and the disclaimer doesnât affect our opinion on the Ind AS standalone financial statements of the Company.

Managementâs Responsibility for the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements:

Auditorâs Responsibility:

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS standalone financial statements based on our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Ind AS standalone financial statements.

Basis of our Qualified Opinion:

1. Food Processing Machinery Unit, Aurangabad:

a) As per information and explanation given to us with regards to the valuation of inventory as stated in Note No. 1.9) and 3) amounting to Rs. 285.58 lakhs, stock of raw material (including stock considered in WIP and FG are valued, based on the purchase order rates which are periodically updated in the inventory software. However, we observed many items, rates for which were not updated in the inventory software, thereby valuing the respective stock items as nil. These were later regularised manually based on the POâs available. Owing to the nature of the Companyâs records and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to ascertain if there is a departure from the weighted average cost method of valuation followed by the Company. We are also unable to ascertain its consequent impact, if any, on the Ind AS standalone financial statements.

b) With regards to provision for non-moving inventory as stated in Note No.3) amounting to Rs.62.08 lakhs, the Company has relied on the report generated from the inventory software, however as discussed in the above paragraph, even in this report, the rates have not been updated against many stock items. Accordingly, the value of non-moving inventory is understated, consequently affecting the provision for non-moving inventory and thereby profit of the Company.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Report on Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of HMT Limited which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2013, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended on that date, annexed thereto in which are incorporated the accounts of Corporate Head Office audited by us and the accounts of Tractor Division, Food Processing Machinery Division and Common Services Division audited by Branch Auditors, appointed under section 619(2) of the Companies Act, 1956, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3c) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956. This responsibility includes a 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 judgement, 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 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 of qualified audit Opinion

1. The Company has made long term investments aggregating to Rs. 1.66 Crores in subsidiary company, namely, HMT Chinar Watches Limited whose net-worth has eroded and this company is suffering continuous losses. Market value of the assets of this company, results and expected cash flows from these investments is not ascertained. In view of the above deficiencies, in our opinion, there is a total decline in the value of this investment, which is other than temporary. No provision for above diminution is made. This is in contravention of the requirement of AS 13 prescribed under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, resulting in the understatement of loss for the year & cumulative loss and overstatement of investments to that extent.

2. The Company has also given loans and advances to the subsidiary stated in clause above and the aggregate dues from them as at 318t March, 2013 amounting to Rs. 79.37 Crores. In view of our observations made above, these dues should have been considered as doubtful of recovery requiring provision for the same. Consequently loss for the year & cumulative loss is understated and loans and advances are overstated to that extent.

3. Certain balances under Trade payables, other current liabilities, Trade receivables, loans and advances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. These balances include certain old balances requiring review and reconciliation. Consequential impact of the same on the loss for the year/accumulated loss is not ascertainable.

4. During the years 2002-03 and 2003-04, the company had sold certain lands vested with HMT Machine Tools Limited, a subsidiary company for a consideration of 7 36.57 Crores and the profit on sale of such land amounting to 736.55 Crores were accounted by the company. The company had an understanding with the subsidiary to adjust the consideration by transferring land of equivalent value. However the company is yet to identify equivalent land for the said value for transfer to HMT Machine Tools Limited. This fact has not been disclosed in the financial statements.

Qualified Opinion :

We further report that, observations made in paragraphs 1 to 4 above been considered, loss for the year would have been 7 226.41 Crores (as against reported figure of 7145.38 Crores); the adverse balance in statement of Profit & loss (Cumulative) would have been 7 893.95 Crores (as against reported figure of 7 812.92 Crores), Investments would have been 7 763.90 Crores (as against reported figure of 7 765.56 Crores), Loans and Advances would have been 7 521.73 Crores (as against reported figure of 7 601.10 Crores).

Subject to the above Qualified Opinion paragraph, in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the 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:

(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2013;

(b) In the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the year ended on that date; and

(c) In the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Other Matters

1. The company has not re-constituted the Audit Committee as required under Section 292 A of The Companies Act, 1956, since appointment of Independent Directors by the Government of India is pending, as explained to us.

2. The Authorised Share Capital was enhanced from 7 1000 Crores to 7 1450 Crores vide resolution passed at 55th Annual General Meeting of the members of the company held on September 27, 2008, but the company has not notified the Registrar of Companies filing Form-5 prescribed under the Companies General Rules and Forms.

3. Being a Government Company provision of clause (g) of sub section (1) of Sec 274 of the Companies Act, 1956, is not applicable as per notification No.GSR 829(e) Dated October 21,2003, issued by the Department of Company Affairs, Government of India.

4. The audit reports on the accounts of the units of the Company audited by the branch auditors appointed under section 619(2) of the Companies Act, 1956 have been considered by us in preparing our report and necessary adjustments in the accounts of the units have been made to the extent required on the basis of the information made available to us.

5. The following are the observations made by the Branch Auditors of HMTTractor Division, Pinjore, in their Audit Report:

(a) During the FY. 2012-13 there is sale reversal of 1539 tractors amounting to Rs. 6562.69 lacs on the last day of financial year 2012-13 i.e., 31st March, 2013 at the Unit. These sales reversals pertain to invoices raised during the whole of the year 2012-13. No satisfactory reply has been given by the management for this reversal.

(b) There are some discrepancies in recording the production as well as sales during the year 2012-13. More production of Tractors were recorded in the production records maintained at the Unit as well as in the Excise records and likewise more sales to sundry parties were recorded by raising fictitious sales invoices in the books of accounts of the Unit.

It came to notice at the Ministry of Heavy Industries, New Delhi and action was taken on 14th June, 2013 by suspending four officers at the higher level including Chairman cum Managing Director of the Company. The Special Audit was assigned / entrusted to M/s. A.K.G. & Associates, Chartered Accountants, New Delhi on 4th July, 2013 to find out the actual production and actual sales for the financial year 2011 -12 and 2012-13 and they have submitted the report on 27h July, 2013. The Management has not complied with all the discrepancies as mentioned in the report of special auditor which has an effect on financial accounts of the Company wherever required. There were 331 tractors whose invoicing were done in the financial year 2011 -12 but dispatches made after 31 * March 2012. However, the same has been reversed during the financial year 2012-13 on the face of statement of profit and loss account for the year ended 31st March, 2013 by showing below the line item by Debiting Prior Period Adjustment account with Rs. 1246.09 lacs and crediting again the same head "Prior Period Adjustment A/c" with Rs. 1246.09 lacs to have the nil effect.

Since this pertains to Sale for Financial Year 2012-13, the amount should have been debited to "Prior Period Adjustment A/c" with Rs. 1246.09 lacs and Sales Tractor Account should have been credited with Rs. 1246.09 lacs. However, no entry has been passed in the Sales account during the year 2012-13. Thus Sales for the financial year 2012-13 has been understated to the extent of Rs. 1246.09 lacs.

Further, there 37 tractors whose invoicing has been done in the financial year 2012-13 but dispatches made after 31st March, 2013 has not been reversed as on 31st March, 2013, thus resulting in inflated Sales to the extent of Rs. 147 lacs (value of 37 Nos. tractors).

The same has not been explained satisfactorily by the Management, with respect to the discrepancies in basic records i.e., Excise Register & Sales Tax Record of Production/Sales etc., during the financial year 2012-13.

(c) The complete reconciliation of Finished Stock i.e., Tractors at the manufacturing Unit, Pinjore and at Depots/Stock Yards showing the Opening Stock, Production during the year, Transfer to Depots, Actual Sale and Closing Stock has not been made. Further, these have neither been reconciled with financial books nor with Excise records, cost records and sales tax returns etc.

(d) There has been no system of reconciliation of Quantitative records with financial records and cost records as well.

(e) Trading Results showing Gross Profit/Loss Ratio i.e., direct Cost only

The comparative chart showing Trading Results of financial year 2012-13 shows an abnormal picture if compared with early two year are summarized as under:

It shows that either purchases have been inflated or more consumption of raw material, consumable stores and spares etc., has been booked. There is hardly any justification of depicting Gross Loss at a higher percentage during the Financial Year 2012-13. No satisfactory explanation has been given for major variation on these ratios.

(f) On test check basis, it is verified the few items of Store/Purchases (being used in mfg of Tractors) during the financial year 2012-13, detail given as under:

Manufacturing Goods: (As certified by the Management)

Tractors Produced during the financial year 2012-13: 1309 Numbers.

The above data clearly shows that there is mismatch in consumption of bought out items and tractor produced during the year for example total tractor produced during the year 2012-13 are 1309 numbers (As certified by management) and total number of Front Rims consumed are 4543 i.e., for 2271 tractors means difference of rim consumption for 962 tractors.

(g) Reversal of Material Consumption amounting toRs. 1656 lacs

As on 31st March, 2013 the Unit has passed a journal entry for Rs. 1656 lacs as follows:

Debit relating to previous year A/c Rs. 1656 lacs

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of HMT Limited as at 31st March 2012, Statement of Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto in which are incorporated the accounts of Corporate Head office audited by us and the accounts of Tractor Division, Food Processing Machinery Division and Common Services Division audited by Branch Auditors, appointed under section 619(2) of the Companies Act, 1956. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Financial Statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. These standards require to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes, examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The audit reports on the accounts of the units of the Company audited by the branch auditors appointed under section 619(2) of the Companies Act, 1956 have been considered by us in preparing our report and necessary adjustments in the accounts of the units have been made to the extent required on the basis of the information made available to us.

A. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 as amended by Companies (Auditor's Report) Amendment Order, 2004, issued by the Central Government of India, in terms of Section 227(4A) of the Companies Act, 1956, and on the basis of such checks of books and records of the Company, as we considered appropriate and according to the information and explanations given to us, and relying on the audit reports of the branch auditors in respect of units audited by them, we enclose in the annexure a statement on the matters specified in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.

B. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report that:

1. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of the audit.

2. In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law, have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those books.

3. The Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account.

4. In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement referred to in this report comply with the Accounting Standards referred to Sec.211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 to the extent applicable.

5. Being a Government Company provision of clause (g) of sub section (1) of Sec 274 of the Companies Act, 1956, is not applicable as per notification No.GSR 829(E) Dated October 21,2003, issued by the Department of Company Affairs, Government of India.

C. Without qualifying our opinion, we invite attention to the following points

1. The company has not re-constituted the Audit Committee as required under Section 292 A of The companies Act, 1956, since appointment of independent directors by the Govt of India is pending, as explained to us.

2. The Authorised Share Capital was enhanced from 1000 Crores to Rs. 1450 Crores vide resolution passed at 55th Annual General Meeting of the members of the company held on September 27, 2008, but the company has not notified the Registrar of Companies by filing Form-5 prescribed under the Companies General Rules and Forms.

D. Opinion:

1 The Company has made long term investments aggregating to Rs. 1.66 Crores in subsidiary company, namely, HMT Chinar Watches Limited whose net worth has eroded and this company is suffering continuous losses. Market value of the assets of this company, results and expected cash flows from these investments is not ascertained. In view of the above deficiencies, in our opinion, there is a total decline in the value of this investment, which is other than temporary. No provision for above diminution is made. This is in contravention of the requirement of AS 13 prescribed under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, resulting in the understatement of loss for the year & cumulative loss and overstatement of investments to that extent.

2 The company has also given loans and advances to the subsidiary stated in clause above and the aggregate dues from them as at 31st March, 2012 amount to Rs. 76.65 Crores. In view of our observations made above, these dues should have been considered as doubtful of recovery requiring provision for the same. Consequently loss for the year & cumulative loss is understated and loans and advances are overstated to that extent.

3. Certain balances under Trade payables, other current liabilities, Trade receivables, loans and advances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. These balances include certain old balances requiring review and reconciliation. Consequential impact of the same on the loss for the year/ accumulated loss is not ascertainable.

4 During the years 2002-03 and 2003-04, the company had sold certain lands vested with HMT Machine Tools Limited, a subsidiary company for a consideration of Rs. 36.57 Crores and the profit on sale of such land amounting toRs. 36.55 Crores were accounted by the company. The company had an understanding with the subsidiary to adjust the consideration by transferring land of equivalent value. However the company is yet to identify equivalent land for the said value for transfer to HMT Machine Tools Limited. This fact has not been disclosed in the financial statements.

E. We further report that, observations made by us in paragraphs D. (1) & (2) above been considered, los for the year would have been Rs. 160.51 Crores ( as against reported figure ofRs. 82.20 Crores); the adverse balance in statement of Profit & loss (Cumulative) would have been Rs. 880.38 Crores (as against reported figure ofRs. 802.07 Crores), Investments would have been Rs. 763.90 Crores (as against reported figure of Rs. 765.56 Crores), Loans and Advances would have been Rs. 497.64 Crores (as against reported figure of Rs. 574.29 Crores).

F. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts read together with accounting policies and notes thereon, give the information required by the Act, in the manner so required, subject to our comments in paragraph D and E above and clause 11 and 19 of Annexure to paragraph (A) above, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

VII. Further to our comments in Paragraphs IV , V and VI above:

Information & Explanations:

1. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit;

Maintenance of books of accounts:

2. Subject to our comments in Paragraphs VII 6 to VII 12 below, in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit have been received from the branches audited by branch auditors;

3. The Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;

Reporting Requirements under section 274 (11 (g):

4. In our opinion, based on the notification no. GSR 829 (E) dated 21.10.03 issued by the Department of Company Affairs, Government of India, the requirements under clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956 with regard to directors' qualifications do not apply to the Company, being a Government Company;

5. subject to our comments at paragraphs VI 3 above and VII 6 to 12 below, in our opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956;

Basis for Opinion:

6. The Company has made long term investments aggregating to 745.62 Crores in subsidiary companies, viz., HMT Watches Limited, HMT Chinar Watches Limited and HMT Bearings Limited whose net worth has eroded and these companies are suffering continuous losses. Market value of the assets of these companies, results and expected cash flows from these investments is not ascertained. In view of the above deficiencies, in our opinion, there is a total decline in the value of these investments, which is other than temporary. No provision for above diminution is made. This is in contravention of the requirement of AS 13 prescribed under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, resulting in the understatement of loss for the year & cumulative loss and overstatement of investments to that extent.

7. The company has also given loans and advances to the subsidiaries stated in clause VII 6 above and the aggregate dues from them as at 31st March, 2011 amount to 7516.18 Crores. In view of our observations made in clause VII 6 above, these dues should have been considered as doubtful of recovery requiring provision for the same. Consequently loss for the year & cumulative loss is understated and loans and advances are overstated to that extent.

8. Five acres of lease hold land with book value of 70.03 Crores as at 31st March, 2011 at Food Processing Unit, Aurangabad has been encroached for which eviction suits filed by the company before Joint Civil Judge, Aurangabad was dismissed vide Court's order dated 20th October, 2006 and the company had not preferred any appeal before higher courts. The said land is continued to be shown in the books of the company. Consequently loss for the year & cumulative loss is under stated and the fixed assets are overstated by 70.03 Crores.

9. Identification of impaired assets, recognition and measurement of impairment loss as required by AS-28 has not been carried out. Consequential impact on the financial statements is indeterminate.

10. Certain balances under sundry creditors, other liabilities, sundry debtors, loans and advances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. These balances include certain old balances requiring review and reconciliation. Consequential impact of the same on the loss for the year/ accumulated loss and current liabilities is not ascertainable.

11. During the years 2002-03 and 2003-04, the company had sold certain lands vested with HMT Machine Tools Limited, a subsidiary company for a consideration of 736.57 Crores and the profit on sale of such land amounting to 736.55 Crores were accounted by the company. The company had an understanding with the subsidiary to adjust the consideration by transferring land of equivalent value. However the company is yet to identify equivalent land for the said value for transfer to HMT Machine Tools Limited. This fact has not been disclosed in the financial statements.

12. Fixed Assets include 839.40 acres of land at Pinjore gifted by the State Government to the company, in respect of which mutation of title in the name of the company is yet to be carried out in the revenue records. This fact has not been disclosed in the financial statements. Further, about 11.73 acres out of above land at Pinjore have been acquired by National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Pending mutation of title, the offer of compensation of approx. 73.20 Crores by NHAI is yet to be obtained by the company, which fact also not been disclosed in the financial statements.

Opinion:

VIII. We further report that, without considering our comments mentioned in paragraphs VII 9 to 12 above, the effect of which could not be determined, had the observations made by us in paragraphs VII 6, 7 & 8 above been considered, loss for the year would have been 7641.07 Crores ( as against reported figure of 779.24 Crores); the adverse balance in Profit & loss Account (Cumulative) would have been 71281.71 Crores (as against reported figure of 7719.88 Crores), Investments would have been 7719.94 Crores (as against reported figure of 7765.56 Crores),Loans and Advances would have been 733.84 Crores (as against reported figure of 7550.02 Crores) and Net Block of Fixed assets would have been 736.05 Crores (as against reported figure of 736.08 Crores)

Subject to the above, in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required and, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

i. in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2011;

ii. in the case of the Profit and Loss Account, of the loss of the Company for the year ended on that date; and

iii. in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date.
