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 provision of the Act and Rules made there under.

We conducted our audit 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 amount and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk 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 the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of the information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India.

(ii) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, 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.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to:

1. Long Term Borrowings: Note No. 4 of Balance Sheet and Schedules.

Default In Payment to Banks

Based on our audit procedure and as per the information and explanation given to us, the company has defaulted in repayment of loans and interest to the banks and financial institutions as on 31^st March 2016.

2. Consequent upon the financial stress that the company had to suffer, it filed an application before Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Cell on 6^th March, 2013 for restructuring of its entire debts as on 1^st January, 2013. After detailed deliberations at various meeting of company’s creditors at the CDR Cell a restructuring package for the Company was finally approved by CDR Empowered Group on 23^rd September, 2013. Since then, different terms and conditions included in the subject package are being complied with.

In terms of the aforesaid Letter of Approval, for the CDR package:

a) The promoters of the Company were required to make a total contribution of Rs. 146.81 Crore by way of subscribing to the equity capital of the Company/ unsecured loan so that the said contribution constitutes 25% of the total sacrifice computed for the aforesaid restructuring.

b) Since a portion of outstanding debts of various lenders of the company was compulsorily required to be converted

into equity shares and assignment of the debt of one of the Lender of the Company namely Yes Bank Limited to Edelweiss Assets Reconstructions Company (EARC) had taken place, the said EARC had executed a Deed of Accession to Master Restructuring Agreement (MRA). Accordingly, for the debt amount of Rs.2.72 Crores, 1046150 equity shares were allotted by the company at the rate of Rs.26/- per share. However, since after recompilation of EARCs debt it was observed that even the remaining debt of Rs.2.28 Crores was also required to be converted into equity share of the company, the process of allotment of 876926 equity shares to the said EARC’s on preferential allotment basis was initiated by the company as a result of which the in-principle approval from Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has been procured.

c) The Board of the Directors has, in accordance with the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, by passing a resolution in circulation on 5^th February, 2015 also duly ratified on 10^th February, 2015 considered and approved, subject to the approval of the members of the company, the proposal of issuance of a total of 4,97,42,306 Equity Shares of face value of Rs.10/- (Total Ten only) each at a total price of Rs.26/- (Rupees Twenty Six only) per equity share (including premium of Rs.16/-) to the Promoters/Promoters Group Entities of the promoters group hereinafter collectively referred to “Proposed Allottees” of the Company as mentioned at Point a) and

b) above calculated in accordance with the Regulation 76 of Chapter VII of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations for an aggregate value of Rs.129.33 Crores (Rupees One Hundred Twenty Nine Crores Thirty Three Lacs only).

i) The equity shares shall be subject to lock-in for a period in accordance with the provisions of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations.

ii) The equity shares now to be issued shall rank pari passu with the existing equity shares of the Company in all respects.

d) The pre-preferential shareholding of Punj International (P) Ltd. and Punj Investment (P) Ltd. are pledged with ICICI Bank with effect from 18-2-2013.

e) The Company had allotted 1046150 equity shares to Edelweiss Assets Reconstruction Company Limited under CDR Scheme on 30.12.2014 which was locked in from 31-12-2014 to 5-2-2016. These shares are now further locked-in from 5-4-2016 to 31-12-2016.

f) For issuance of aggregate of 50619232 equity shares to the promoter group (as stated in C above) and to one of the creditors (as stated in b above), the company has procured an in-principle approval from Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). However, the said shares are proposed to be allotted by the company in near future only after receipt of the similar approval from National Stock Exchange (NSE)

g) As some of the conditions of the CDR package could not be implemented in letter and spirit, various banks which had advanced its facilities to the company have chosen to treat their outstanding dues to the company as Non Performing Assets (NPA)

3. As the company has been continuously facing acute financial crunch, due to low turnover and profitability in the last few years, the Company’s Net Worth got eroded and became negative as a result of high quantum of accumulated losses. Due to such prevalent situation the company had become a Sick Industrial Company in terms of Section 3 (1)(o) of Sick Industrial Company Act (SICA) and therefore on 19^th June, 2015, a reference was made by it to the Board for Industrial and Financial Restructuring (BIFR). A said reference was admitted on 8^th September, 2015 the company has been restrained from disposing off or eliminating in any manner the fixed asset of the company without the prior consent of BIFR.

4. The financial statements being prepared on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the fact that the Company’s network is eroded a reference is made to the Board of Industrial and Financial Restructuring (BIFR), some of the conditions of the CDR package could not be implemented in letter and spirit, various banks which had advances its facilities to the company have chosen to treat their outstanding dues to the company as Non Performing Assets (NPA) and four lenders have declared the Company’s account as fraud or Red Flag account (RFA) in their books. These events cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The appropriateness of the said basis is inter-alia dependent on the Company’s ability to infuse requisite funds for meeting its obligations (including statutory liabilities and those in respect of contracts entered into for purchase of goods and assets), rescheduling of debt/other liabilities and resuming normal operations.

5. Lender Banks’ Balance Confirmation as on 31^st March 2016:

We have been informed by the officials of the company that although the company has requested its various bankers to issue their confirmation letters confirming the balances with respect to various Bank Accounts/Bank Guarantee/Letter of Credit/Corporate Guarantee given by company for its subsidiaries company as on 31^st March, 2016 but the same have not yet been issued. Pending balance confirmation, book balances as on 31^st March, 2016 have been taken in the accounts of the Company.

6. Due to non-implementation of CDR package, there is a Cash and Capital Crunch and the Company is under stress due to reduction in turnover, slow-down in economic environment, increase in the cost of production, as well as due to idle labour, lack of sufficient orders and reduced net realization in comparison to the increase cost of sales.

7. It is noticed that the business of the Company is at stand still and not much production activity is carried out except negligible production which has been carried out in Vizag, Chennai and Jaipur factories. Hence the overall sales of the Company are also very low.

8. The Company has reported a Net Loss of Rs.46.85 Crores for the 3 months ended or 31^st March, 2016 against preceding 3 months net loss of Rs. 84.4 Crores ended on 31^st December, 2015.

9.2 The Company has also not provided for the interest amounting to Rs.364.66 Crores for the year 1-4-2015 to 31-3

2016. This would also increase the loss of the year.

9.3 The financial performance had deteriorated substantially in last 12 months. The manufacturing cost has gone up. There is weakness in demand. The Company continue to deal with a range of uncertainties. The interest payments exceeded its operating income. The Company is not able to service its debts.

9.4 The loss of the year is Rs.1,355.98 Crores.

10. Outstanding loan of Aditya Birla Finance Limited (ABFL)

Although one of company’s creditors namely ABFL has chosen for transaction specific membership of CDR Group, it has yet to execute the Master Restructuring Agreement already executed by super majority of CDR Lenders. Consequent upon ABFL’s complaint to Economic Offences Wing (EOW), the latter advised some of the bankers of the company for a debit freeze of the amount lying to company’s credit in some such bank accounts. As a result approximately Rs. 100 million which could have been used by the company for its Operating Expense, Insurance Payment, and payment of Loan to Company’s lenders got frozen. However, the Company has initiated legal steps for de-freezing the said amount.

11. Due to flood during the month of November, 2015, the Company’s Chennai factory has incurred loss of materials and machinery worth Rs.4.32 Crores. The claim received from Insurance Co. amounting to Rs.2.15 Crores and balance amount Rs.2.17 Crores yet to be received by the Company.

The Company has provided for resultant loss on sale of old and non-moving stock and also made provision for remaining stock / non-moving stock totaling to Rs. 1006.48 Crores during the year. As certified by the management balance stock is Rs.156.38 Crores as of 31.03.2016 (valued at cost).

13. Depreciation:

The Company has not carried out detailed assessment of the useful life of Company’s assets and hence depreciation charge has not been adjusted accordingly as per the notification to Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

14. Operations Maintenance and Management Agreement with Jindal Tubular (India) Ltd.

a) As per the Operations, Maintenance and Management Agreement with Jindal Tubular (India) Limited, they have taken over operations of the following three units of the Company on the dates shown against them:-

b) It will not be out of place to mention that Jindal Tubular (India) Limited has shifted from Varsana. Complete Pipe Mill on line and complete Coating Plant on line together with sheds, Trailors, Cranes etc. to their unit, Ambapura, Madhya Pradesh for their manufacturing purpose. This is contrary to the Agreement. This matter is pending with the Excise Department.

c) The Company has handed over the Jaipur facility to Jindal Tubular (India) Limited (JTIL) under OMMA. JTIL had taken a provisional excise license. The Excise Department has informed that the land on which Jaipur facility has been located is given on lease by the Govt. of Rajasthan to the Company and as per lease agreement the company can neither sub-let/sale any part of land nor can make anyone financial and technical partner without prior permission of the State Government. On the basis of this, Excise authorities issued a show cause notice and informed that any entity seeking excise registration has to have land possession in any manner. Without possession of land by JTIL, the provisional excise registration shall stand cancelled/revoked. Currently, JTIL and the company are collectively representing the case before excise authorities. JTIL has informed that in case of non-confirmation or revocation of excise registration, they may not be able to operate and indicated their inability to continue at Jaipur facility under OMMA. The matter is under negotiation.

However the PSL Statements are showing outstanding of Rs.2.95 Crores including Rs.2.32 Crores on account of Legacy dues. The Company has not accepted their claim and the accounts are under reconciliations.

e) It appears that due to “Net Revenue” being a loss PSL, will not be entitled for any revenues.

i) The Company has Sundry Debtors of Rs.287.23 Crores as on March 31, 2016.

ii) During the year, practically no recovery has been made from the clients. There is no certainty of arbitration matters and disputes with the parties. The Company has not produced confirmation of balances from sundry debtors confirming the amount outstanding as on March 31, 2016. In the absence of adequate evidence and information made available to us supporting the recoverability of this amount, we are further unable to comment on the financial impact of this matter on the profit / loss for the year ended on 31^st March 2016. We are of the opinion that, an amount of Rs.253.26 Crores being 100 percent provision need to be made towards bad and doubtful debts for sundry debtors outstanding for more than 3 years. Had this provision been made, the loss for the year would have been greater by Rs.253.26 Crores.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of PSL Limited (“the Company”) as of 31^st March 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). 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 company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

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

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31^st March 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

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 amount and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risk 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 the Company''s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of PSL Limited (''the Company'') which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 30th September, 2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for the period then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The Financial Year of PSL Limited has been extended by 6 months so as to comprise of 18 months, i.e. from 1st April 2012 to 30th September 2013. An application was filed by the company with Registrar of companies, Goa on 24th May, 2013 and the approval was given on 3rd June, 2013 for the extension of six months in the financial year 2012-13 to prepare its accounts as at 30th September 2013.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company''s 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 Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 (''the Act''). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors'' 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 ICAI. 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 amount and disclosures in the Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of the risk 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 the Company''s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of the information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Financial Statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give 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 30th September, 2013.

(ii) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the Company for the period ended on that date and

(iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the Cash Flows of the Company for the period ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter

1. We draw attention to:

Long Term Borrowings: Note No. 4 of Balance Sheet and Schedules.

a) Default In Payment to Banks

Due to financial difficulty the Company has defaulted payments to the bank during this period towards interest as well as principal amount effective September 2012. Subsequently the Company has sought a restructuring program from the bankers. The Company had filed an application before the CDR Cell on 6th March, 2013 along with the Flash Report. The CDR Cell has approved the restructuring package in its meeting held on August 2013, the effective date being August 24, 2013. The outstanding amount as on 01.01.2013 of both CDR member banks and non CDR banks were restructured through this restructuring package. The Company has received letter of approval on 23rd September, 2013 conveying the Approval of CDR Empowered Group letter dated 23rd August, 2013 on the restructuring package of the Company. The details of proposed CDR scheme are given in Annexure "I" of Notes to Accounts.

The Master Restructuring Agreement (MRA) is being drafted by Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co. (AMSS) (Legal Counsel to the bankers) and is in the process of signing by the CDR member bankers as on this date of Balance Sheet. Non CDR member banks are yet to give their approval for this restructuring package and subsequent signature on the MRA.

Finance Cost: Note No. 26 of Balance Sheet and Schedules.

In terms of the approval (LOA) interest on the loans of CDR member banks and non CDR Banks shall be funded for a period of two years i.e. 01.01.2013 to 31.12.2014 as a fresh Term Loan namely FITL.

However, the Company has calculated interest @ 10.25% based on restructuring package and charged interest on the Loan outstanding of non CDR member banks as on January 01, 2013 for the period 9 months ending September 30, 2013. The Company has not accounted the interest payable as above for the loan outstanding of CDR member banks.

As per the general Accounting Standards, the company is required to account for the interest on the loans on accrual basis. However, the company has not provided for interest on the loans of the CDR member banks for the period from 01.01.2013 to 30.09.2013 amounting to ''163.36 crores.

The loss to the accounting period is understated to that extent. After accounting for the above, the loss for the accounting period will increase from ''595.25 crores to ''758.61 crores.

b) Employee Benefits and Expenses (Managerial Remuneration): Note No. 25

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 198 and 309 of the Companies Act due to loss in the financial reporting period ending 30th September, 2013 the remuneration shall payable to the Directors should not exceed ''0.48 crores per annum each director to be calculated based on the effective capital. The excess remuneration paid to Directors for this period of 18 months is ''5.91 crores.

c) Investments in Subsidiaries. Note No.11 Non Current Investments.

Company''s exposure in the nature of long-term investments of ''301.76 Crores in its subsidiaries namely

i) PSL USA INC

ii) Pipeline Systems Mauritius

iii) PSL Corrosion Control Services Limited

iv) PSL Infrastructure and Ports Private Limited,

v) PSL Gas Distribution Private Limited.

On the basis of the book value of these companies, there is a diminution in the value of these investments, which in the opinion of the management is of temporary in nature.

d) Inventory, Current Assets : Note No. 15 to be read with Note No. 24

The closing inventory as on 30th September 2013 is ''1497.03 crores which includes non moving old stock of ''1047.63 crores. ICICI Bank Limited, the Monitoring Institution (MI) has appointed a CA firm as a stock auditor to verify and value the non moving old stock. The firm has submitted their draft report which was taken by the Company on records. As per this Audit Report the break-up is as under:

Particulars Amount in Crores

a) Old Coated Pipes at various Rs. 428.01 locations

b) Other very old coating Rs. 619.62 materials, sand, iron ore etc.

Total Amount Rs. 1047.63

The stock auditor has certified the value for item ''a'' above as ''400.33 crores and regarding item ''b'' valuation is not quantified by the stock auditor with a remark that the stocks were very old and proper records were not produced by the Company.

However the company has valued the total stock as ''1497.03 including the old non moving stock as ''1047.03 crores.

The Company has therefore revalued its opening inventory being diminution as on 01.04.2012 by an amount of ''514.00 Crores. This amount was reduced from the opening Reserves and Surplus of the Company.

e) Debtors: Note No. 16 of Current Assets.

i) The Company has Sundry Debtors of ''338.76 Crores as on 30th September, 2013.

ii) Less than Six Months 253.84 crores More than Six Months and 84.92 crores above.

iii) The Company has not produced confirmation of balances confirming the amount outstanding as on September 30, 2013. In the absence of adequate evidence and information made available to us supporting the recoverability of this amount, we are further unable to comment on the financial impact of this matter on the profit / loss for the period ended on 30th September, 2013.

f) Fixed Assets: Note No. 10 Tangible Assets.

The Company has capitalized the capital WIP to an extent of '' 318.88 crores towards Plant & Machinery and Buildings in all units. We were informed that the Plant and Machinery which has repaired & had outlived its utility and expenses were incurred for replacing vital parts in order to make the same functional and the expenditure was of such nature that it bought in to existence a new machinery altogether and consequently, there was benefit of enduring nature to the company even though technically no new asset come into existence.

Due to CDR, the depreciation for the last quarter has been calculated on the basis of the working of all units instead of the full quarter.

The company has revalued the factory lands. As per valuation report submitted by a valuer appointed by ICICI Bank Limited (MI) revaluation has been done by ''514.00 crores against the previous book value of '' 59.78 crores.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
