To the Members of
ITD Cementation India Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of ITD Cementation India Limited (âthe
Company â), which comprise the standalone Balance
Sheet as at 31 March 2023, and the standalone Statement
of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the standalone Statement of Cash Flows and
the standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for the
year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter
referred to as âthe standalone financial statementsâ).
I n our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) in
the manner so required and give a true and fair view
in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards
prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended, (âInd ASâ) and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2023, and its profit (including
other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the
changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the âAuditorâs Responsibility for the
Audit of the standalone Financial Statementsâ section
of our report. We are independent of the Company in
accordance with the âCode of Ethicsâ issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the standalone financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the ICAIâs Code
of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by
us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the standalone financial statements of the current
year. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the standalone 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
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
4. INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND AUDITORâS REPORT THEREON
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in
Companyâs Annual Report, but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report
thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does
not cover the other information and we do not and will
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
The Annual Report is expected to be made available to
us after the date of this auditorâs report.
I n connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the standalone
financial statements or our knowledge obtained during
the course of our audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. When we read the Annual report,
if we conclude that there is a material misstatement
therein, we are required to communicate the matter to
those charged with governance.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR
THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying standalone financial statements have
been approved by the Companyâs Board of Directors.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of
the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation
of these standalone financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the Ind AS 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 judgements 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 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 financial statements,
management and Board of Directors are responsible for
assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Companyâs financial reporting process.
6. AUDITORSâ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the standalone financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorsâ 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 financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone 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 financial 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 management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs
use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether
a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report
to the related disclosures in the standalone 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 auditorsâ
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 standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone 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 standalone financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditorsâ 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.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCOFR, and Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate IFCOFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCOFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCOFR included obtaining an understanding of IFCOFR, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s IFCOFR.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. A company''s IFCOFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s IFCOFR includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 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
7. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCOFR, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the IFCOFR to future periods are subject to the risk that IFCOFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 December 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 issued by ICAI.

1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ITD
Cementation India Limited, ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31 December 2014, 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
2. 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act")
read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013. 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.
Auditors'' Responsibility
3. 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.
4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors'' 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Company''s internal control. 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
6. As stated in Note 36 to the Financials Statements, the company''s
trade receivables and unbilled work in progress as at 31 December, 2014
include amounts aggregating Rs. 2,655 lakhs and Rs. 1,584 lakhs
respectively, being considered as good and fully recoverable by the
management. These amounts are presently under negotiation with the
customers. In the absence of external balance confirmations from the
customers or other alternative audit evidence to corroborate
management''s assessment of recoverability of these balances and having
regard to the age of these receivables, we are unable to comment on the
extent to which these balances are recoverable and the consequential
impact, if any, on the accompanying financial statements.
Qualified Opinion
7. 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
matter 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 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 31 December 2014;
ii) in the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit for the
year ended on that date; and
iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
8. We draw attention to Note 37 to the financial statements regarding
long-term trade receivables, trade receivables and unbilled work in
progress aggregating to Rs. 2,863 lakhs (31 December20l3: Rs. Nil), Rs.
8,52l lakhs (31 December 2013:Rs. 11,099 lakhs) and Rs. 25,467 lakhs
(31 December 2013: Rs. 25,507 lakhs) respectively outstanding as at 31
December 2014, representing various claims recognised during the
earlier year based on the terms and conditions implicit in the
contracts. These claims being technical in nature and being subject
matter of arbitration/ litigation, the Company has assessed the
recoverability of these claims based on recommendation of Dispute
Resolution Board, awards received from Arbitration Tribunal, High Court
orders received and legal opinion from an independent counsel. On the
basis of such assessment, management is of the opinion that the claims
are tenable and would be realized in full and accordingly no
adjustments have been made in the Financial Statement. Our opinion is
not modified in respect of these matters.
9. We draw attention to Note 38 to the financial statements which
describe the uncertainty related to the recoverability of short- term
advances aggregating to Rs. 6,8I9 lakhs to ITD Cemindia JV, Company''s
Joint Venture. The recoverability of these advances is majorly
dependent on the Joint Venture''s ability to realize the outstanding
dues from its customer which are presently under litigation. Our
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Company''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

from an independent counsel. On the basis of such assessment,

Company''s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these f nancial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

lakhs and Rs. 8,686 lakhs) respectively,outstanding as at 31 December
2012, representing various claims recognised during the earlier period
based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts. These
claims being technical in nature and being subject matter of
litigation, the Company has assessed the recoverability of these claims
based on recommendation of dispute resolution board, awards received
from arbitration tribunal, high court orders received and legal opinion
from an independent counsel. On the basis of such assessment,
management is of the opinion that the claims are tenable and would be
realized in full and accordingly no adjustments have been made in these
financial statements.

report that:
a. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the

1. We have audited the attached balance sheet of ITD Cementation India
Limited ('the Company') as at December 31, 2011 and also the profit and
loss account and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that
date annexed thereto. 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.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement

for our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 (as
amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4
and 5 of the said Order.
4. Without qualifying our report, we draw attention to :
i. Schedule 20 (x)(a) and (b) of the financial statements which states
that sundry debtors at December 31, 2011 include Rs. 1,449 lakhs
(previous year Rs. 2,964 lakhs) relating to price escalation and
variation claims which are disputed by the customer. These claims are
in various stages of litigation and the reliability of these amounts
is dependent upon these matters being finally resolved in favor of the
Company.
ii. Schedule 20(xi) of the financial statements which states that
work-in-progress at December 31, 2011 includes Rs 2,757 lakhs (previous
year Rs 2,757 lakhs) in respect of a contract which has been rescinded
by the Company and Rs 5,929 lakhs (previous year Rs 5,929 lakhs) in
respect of another contract where the Company has received a notice
from the customer withdrawing from the Company the balance works to be
executed under the contract; besides the Company has also issued
guarantees aggregating Rs. 616 lakhs (previous year Rs 616 lakhs) and
Rs. 2,227 lakhs (previous year Rs. 2,227 lakhs) for these contracts
respectively. The Company has made claims against the customer to
recover these amounts and intends to pursue these matters, if
necessary, through legal action. Based upon legal advice received,
management is reasonably conf dent of recovery of these amounts of work
in progress and consequently no changes have been made to the values
and classification of these amounts in the financial statements. The
recovery of these amounts is dependent upon these matters ultimately
being resolved in favor of the Company.
5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
report that:
i. 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;
ii. 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;
iii. The balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement
dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;
iv. In our opinion, the balance sheet, profit and loss account and 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;
v. On the basis of the written representations received from the
directors, as on December 31, 2011, and taken on record by the Board of
Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
December
31, 2011 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of
sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956;
vi. a. As described in Schedule 20(xii)to the financial statements,
sundry debtors at December 31, 2011 include variation claims of Rs.
3,455 lakhs (previous year Rs. 3,910 lakhs) which are disputed by the
customer. Out of this, claims amounting to Rs. 2,346 lakhs (previous
year Rs. 2,346 lakhs) are a subject matter of arbitration. The Company
has received arbitration awards in its favour in respect of the balance
amount of Rs. 1,109 lakhs (previous year Rs. 1,564 lakhs) which have
since been challenged by the customer (previous year Rs 1,109 lakhs
challenged by the customer). Our audit report on the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 was also qualified in
respect of this matter;
b. As described in Schedule 20(xiii) to the f nancial statements,
sundry debtors at December 31, 2011 include Rs. 3,384 lakhs (previous
year Rs. 3,384 lakhs) representing interim work bills for work done
which have not been certified by customers beyond normal periods of
certification. Our audit report on the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2010 was also qualified in respect of this
matter;
c. In our view there is an uncertainty in respect of reliability of
the claims and receivables described in paragraphs vi (a) and (b)
above. Accordingly, pending the ultimate outcome of these disputes,
arbitration and related matters and certification, we are unable to
comment on the adjustments, if any, that may be necessary to revenue,
sundry debtors, the profit before tax, reserves and earnings per share
reported in the financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010;
vii. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the said financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so
required and, subject to our comments in paragraph 5 (vi) above, the
impact of which on the financial statements cannot be ascertained, 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 af airs of the
Company as at December 31, 2011;
(b) in the case of the profit and loss account, of the profit of the
Company for the year ended on that date; and

1. We have audited the attached balance sheet of ITD Cementation India
Limited (the Company) as at December 31,2010 and also the profit and
loss account and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that
date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (as
amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of

debtors at December 31, 2010 include Rs. 2,964 lakhs (previous year Rs.
2,655 lakhs) relating to price escalation and variation claims which
are disputed by the customer. These claims are in various stages of
litigation and the realisability of these amounts is dependent upon
these matters being finally resolved in favour of the Company. Of this
an amount of Rs. 309 lakhs was a subject matter of qualification in the
previous year.
ii. Schedule 20 (xi) of the financial statements which states that
work-in-progress at December 31, 2010 includes Rs. 1,812 lakhs, in
respect of a contract which has been rescinded by the Company and Rs.
2,174 lakhs in respect of another contract where the Company has
received a notice from the customer withdrawing from the Company the
balance works to be executed under the contract; besides the Company
has also issued guarantees aggregating Rs. 616 lakhs and Rs. 2,227
lakhs. The Company intends to pursue these matters, if necessary,
through litigation. The realisability of these amounts is dependent
upon these matters ultimately being resolved in favour of the Company.
Based upon legal/expert advice received, management is reasonably
confident of recovery of these amounts of work in progress.
5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
report that:
i. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the

3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (as

sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose
in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4
and 5 of the said Order.
4. Without qualifying our report, we draw attention to:
i. Note 29 to the financial statements. According to this, the Company
has in prior years recognized price escalation claims on two road
contracts which were disputed by the customer. For the period from
inception of the contract to December 31, 2009 the aggregate claims
recognised as revenue amount to Rs. 2,028 lakhs (previous year Rs.
2,028 lakhs). Sundry debtors at December 31, 2009 include Rs. 1,140
lakhs (previous year Rs. 1,140 lakhs) in respect of these escalation
claims. The Company has received favourable verdicts in the Dispute
Redressal Board and thereafter in Arbitration in respect of these
amounts. The Company has till date not recovered these amounts. The
Customer has appealed against the Arbitration award and the
realisability of this amount is dependent on this matter being finally
resolved in favour of the Company.
ii. Note 33 to the financial statements. According to this, sundry
debtors as at December 31, 2009 include variation claims of Rs. 1,515
lakhs (including Rs. 554 lakhs recognized as revenue and Rs. 525 lakhs
recognized as interest income during year ended December 31, 2009) for
which the Company had received an arbitration award in its favour which
has subsequently been upheld by the district court. The customer has
further challenged this court order and realisability of this amount
would be dependent on this matter being finally resolved in favour of
the Company. This matter was qualified in our audit report for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
report that:
i. 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;
ii. 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;
iii. The balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement
dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;
iv. In our opinion, the balance sheet, profit and loss account and 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;
v. On the basis of the written representations received from the
directors, as on December 31, 2009, and taken on record by the Board of
Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
December 31, 2009 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause
(g) of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956;
vi. a. As described in Note 30 to the financial statements, sundry
debtors at December 31, 2009 include variation claims of Rs. 5,042
lakhs (previous year Rs. 4,182 lakhs) recognized upto December 31,
2009, which are disputed by the customer. Outofthis, claims amounting
to Rs. 2,801 lakhs (previous year Rs. 3,817lakhs) are a subject matter
of arbitration. The Company has received arbitration awards in its
favour in respect of the balance amount of Rs. 2,241 lakhs which have
since been challenged by the customer. Our audit report on the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 was also
qualified in respect of this matter;
b. As described in Note 31 to the financial statements, debtors
include Rs. 3,384 lakhs (previous year Rs. 3,384lakhs) representing
interim work bills for work done which have not been certified by
customers beyond normal periods of certification. Our audit report on
the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 was also
qualified in respect of this matter;
c. As described in Note 32 to the financial statements, sundry debtors
at December 31, 2009 include an amount of Rs. 1,225 lakhs (previous
year Rs. 1,225 lakhs) recognized as income in the earlier years. Based
on the payment schedule originally agreed with the customer, the above
mentioned claim was expected to be received by the Company over a
period of time commencing from financial year 2008/2009. No amounts
have been received by the Company till date and further rescheduling of
the payment which was in progress at December 31, 2008 has not yet been
finalised. The realisability of this amount of Rs. 1,225 lakhs is
dependent upon finalization of the rescheduled payment plan and the
customer adhering to the same. Our audit report on the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 was also modified in
respect of this matter;
d. In our view there is an uncertainty in respect of realisability of
these claims and receivables described in paragraphs vi(a) to (c)
above. Accordingly, pending the ultimate outcome of these disputes,
arbitration and related matters and certification, we are unable to
comment on the adjustments, if any, that may be necessary to turnover,
sundry debtors, the profit before tax, reserves and earnings per share
reported in the financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008;
vii. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the said financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so
required and subject to our comments in paragraph 5(vi) above, the
impact of which on the financial statements cannot be ascertained, 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 December 31, 2009;
(b) in the case of profit and loss account, of the profit of the
Company for the year ended on that date; and
