Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of PRATIBHA INDUSTRIES LIMITED, (âthe Companyâ), which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting the 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 internal financial control, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 standalone financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
1. The company has accumulated losses and its net worth is fully eroded. It has incurred net loss during the current year as well as previous years and itâs current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at the balance sheet date. It is unable to repay its debts, statutory obligations and pay salaries apart from other obligations/commitments. Its scheme of Strategic Debt Restructuring has failed as the lenders have not accepted its proposal. All these indicate a material uncertainity that may cast significant doubt upon the Companyâs ability to continue as a Going Concern. The Management is optimistic about finding resolution and believes it will be able to continue its business, accordingly the standalone financial results are prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Inventory of Work in Progress (WIP) includes certain contractual claim amounting to Rs. 36.91 Crores. These amounts have been ascertained by the management based on their estimates. No formal submission of these claims has been made to clients. WIP also includes certain claims amounting to Rs. 170.33 Crores which are though submitted but not yet approved by respective clients. The amounts of these claims are subject to change post submission/approval from clients. In absence of any communication from clients, we cannot confirm the amount of this WIP. The consequential impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements is therefore not ascertainable.
3. The management has not provided us with the Cost to Completion and consequent profitability/ and or losses on projects which are pending execution. In absence of these details, it is not possible for us to ascertain whether the WIP has been valued and stated correctly or not. The consequential impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements is therefore not ascertainable
4. The company has not provided for interest on various loans from Banks to the extent of Rs. 220.42 Crores. To that extent interest expense, interest liability and loss for the year ended March 31, 2018 are understated. The management is of the view that since the status of all loans has become NPA, interest will be waived off by the Banks and hence no provision is required.
5. Many clients of the company have en-cashed Bank Guarantee on account of various reasons. Balance of Rs. 353.67 Crores is shown as recoverable as asset in Balance sheet and no provision against the same has been made. To that extent loss and reserves are understated and Assets are overstated. Management is of the opinion that these amounts will be recovered in due course from respective parties and there is no need for any provision.
6. Many clients of the company have withheld around Rs. 142.88 Crores on account of various reasons. The amount is outstanding since long. This is shown as refundable from Clients and no provision against the same has been made. In absence of communication with client and proper documentations, we are unable to determine any possible impact thereof on the loss for the year. Management is of the opinion that these amounts will be recovered in due course from respective parties and there is no need for any provision.
7. Many loan accounts having aggregate balance of Rs. 271.78Crores are not confirmed due to non-availability of statement / confirmation from respective Banks. In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to determine any possible impact thereof on the loss for the year and on the balance of cash and cash equivalent and Borrowed Funds.
8. The Company has not made provision against Investment of Rs. 1 Crore and Loans given of Rs. 94.73 Crores to its wholly owned subsidiary M/s. Prime Infrapark Private Limited. The networth of the subsidiary company has fully eroded and its Concession Agreement has been terminated by DMRC.
9. The Company has not made provision against Investment of Rs. 0.01 Crore and Loans given of Rs. 73.47 crores to its subsidiary M/s. Bhopal Sanchi Tollways Private Limited. Its Concession Agreement has been terminated by NHAI. The subsidiary company has lodged claim and the matter is under arbitration.
10. The company has not provided audited financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiary M/s. Pratibha Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd and associate company M/s. Saudi Pratibha Industries LLC. In absence of these details, we can not comment on any requirement for provision for diminution in value of investments.
11. Balance confirmation of trade Receivables, Loans and Advances, deposits and trade payables are not received from third parties. These balances are subject to confirmations and consequent adjustments, if required. In absence of balance confirmations, financial impact on standalone financial statements is not ascertainable.
12. As per the requirements of Rule 4 of Companies (cost records and audit) Amendment Rules, 2016, the company has not conducted cost audit of its records.
13. During the year, Company unilaterally wrote back certain liabilities amounting to Rs. 76.44 Crores. The management is of the opinion that based on their analysis of balances and due to various reasons these balances were not payable and hence written back. In absence of proper documentation, financial impact on standalone financial statements is not ascertainable.
14. The company has not made provision for Expected Credit Loss on receivables and other financial assets as required under IND AS 109.
15. There are many statutory dues amounting to Rs.94.91 Crores, which are pending to be deposited with appropriate government authorities. The company has not made provision for interest on these dues on account of delay in depositing them. Since the management has not estimated overall liability on account of interest, financial impact on standalone financial statements is not ascertainable.
16. During the year, three independent directors have resigned from the Board. As a result composition of Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Nomination & Remuneration Committee and Stakeholders Relationship Committee are not in compliance with the provisions of Section 149(4), Section 177 & Section 178 respectively.
Opinion
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Annexure âBâ to the Independent Auditorâs Report
[Referred to under âReport on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirementsâ in the Independent Auditorâs Report of even date to the members of PRATIBHA INDUSTRIES LIMITED on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018]
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Pratibha Industries Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
2. Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to 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.
3. 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, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, 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 Adverse opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
4. 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 expenditure 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.
5. 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.
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.
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, we have identified following material weaknesses that has not been identified as a material weakness in Managementâs assessment:
a) The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for preparing debtors ageing and making provision for bad debts. This could potentially result in non booking of bad debts.
b) The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for obtaining external balance confirmation on periodic basis. This could potentially result in inaccurate assets & liabilities disclosed in the books of accounts.
c) The Company did not have an appropriate internal control system for reviewing computation of Work in Progress (WIP), Cost to Completion and estimated profitability of all projects regularly. This could potentially result in inaccurate disclosure of WIP and consequent profitability.
d) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system for reconciling balances of foreign vendors in INR and applicable foreign currency. This could potentially result in inaccurate translation of foreign currency balance in INR balance on Balance sheet date.
e) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system over updation of accounts on timely basis. Booking of many entries are delayed on account of delayed receipt of records. There is lack of coordination between different divisions of the company. These all could potentially result in misstatement of financial statements.
f) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system of maintaining Bank FD register, tracking maturity of FDs and accounting for interest on timely basis. This could potentially result in reporting FD and interest balance on Balance sheet date.
g) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system ofchecking the interest levied by Lenders. This could potentially lead to overcharging by Lenders and increase in Finance Cost of the company.
h) The company did not have an appropriate internal control system ofcalling Quotations from more than one Vendor while placing order. This could potentially lead to inefficient procurement and increased cost.
i) The company did not have mechanism to track booking of expenses against advances paid. This could potentially lead to unauthorised payment and non-adjustment of advance against corresponding liability.
6. Opinion
In our opinion, because of the effects/possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were not 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 the 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 March 31, 2018 standalone financial statements of the Company, and our aforesaid report and opinion on Internal Financial Control over Financial Reporting should be read in conjunction with our report of even date issued on the standalone financial statements of the Company.
