SPML Infra Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SPML Infra Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 auditors in respect of certain joint operations, as referred to in the Other Matters section of our report below, except for the effects/possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2023, its profit including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As stated in:

a. Note no. 42 to the standalone financial statements, interest on YTM basis amounting to R6,276.13 lakhs (31st March, 2022: R6,027.24 lakhs) was not provided on Optionally Convertible Debentures (‘OCDs'') issued to lenders under S4A scheme, which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109:Financial Instruments. Had such interest expense been recognized, the finance costs, profit before tax, profit after tax and total comprehensive income would have been impacted to the extent of the aforesaid amount for the year ended 31st March, 2023. Further, since the issue of OCDs , the total liability not provided for in respect of such interest on YTM basis is R29,590.66 lakhs as at 31st March, 2023 (31st March, 2022: R23,314.53 lakhs). The Auditor''s Report for the year ended 31st March, 2022 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

b. Note no. 16.5 to the standalone financial statements, interest expense of R19,951.70 lakhs and R491.86 lakhs on the Company''s borrowings from certain financial creditors (banks) and certain financial creditors (other than banks)

respectively, has not been recognized for the year ended 31st March, 2023 (31st March, 2022: R19,795.66 lakhs and R714.06 lakhs respectively). This is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments. Had the aforesaid interest expenses been recognized, the finance costs, profit before tax, profit after tax and total comprehensive income would have been impacted to the extent of the aforesaid amounts for the year ended 31st March, 2023. The Auditor''s Report for the year ended 31st March, 2022 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

. Note no. 43 to the standalone financial statements, the Company''s trade receivables (net of ECL) as at 31st March, 2023 includes R7,372.07 lakhs (31st March, 2022: R8,066.17 lakhs) relating to certain projects where the claims are presently under arbitration/ litigation proceedings. Pending the ultimate outcome of these matters (fate of which is presently unascertainable), we are unable to comment on the recoverability thereof. The Auditor''s Report for the year ended 31st March, 2022 was also qualified in respect of this matter.

We conducted our audit 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 Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following notes to the standalone financial statements:

(i) Note no. 44, regarding uncertainties relating to the recoverability of certain trade & other receivables as at 31st March, 2023 and recognition of interest income thereon, arising out of arbitration awards pronounced in favour of the Company.

(ii) Note no. 41, regarding write back of R603.16 lakhs (31st March, 2022: R727.96 lakhs) in respect of certain credit balances.

(iii) Note no. 47, regarding postponement of recognition of income from interest on unsecured loans given to certain subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates which are impaired fully/partially by way of expected credit losses.

(iv) Note no. 16.4 , which indicates that the Company has defaulted in payment of dues to certain financial creditors and its borrowing facilities with banks are irregular as at 31st March, 2023. Based on the mitigating factors as mentioned in the aforesaid Note no. 16.4, the Company''s Board of Directors is of the view that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate for preparation of the standalone financial statements.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section hereinabove, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Pending litigations (refer Note no. 31 to the standalone financial statements )

The Company is subject to number of claims and litigations including arbitrations, mainly with customers and tax authorities. The assessment of the likely outcome of these matters can be judgmental due to the uncertainty inherent in their nature.

This area is significant to our audit, since the accounting and disclosure of claims and litigations are complex and judgmental, and the amounts involved are, or maybe, material to the standalone financial statements.

Principal Audit Procedures:

Our audit approach was a combination of test of internal controls and substantive procedures including:

• Assessing the appropriateness of the design and implementation of the Company''s controls over the assessment of litigations and completeness of disclosures. Supporting documentations are tested to assess the status of Arbitrations/legal proceedings with reference to related counselors'' views for likely outcome of these matters.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report thereon

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

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone 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 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended. 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 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 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 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 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 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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.

Other Matters

We did not audit the financial statements / financial information of 4 (four) joint operations included in the standalone financial statements, whose financial statements / financial information reflect total assets of R14,010.28 lakhs as at 31st March, 2023, total revenues of R23,440.93 lakhs and total net profit after tax of R21.93 lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the standalone financial statements. These financial statements / financial information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Company''s management and our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these joint operations, is based solely on the audit reports of such other auditors and on the procedures performed by us as stated in the section Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements hereinabove.

tax of R15.23 lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the standalone financial statements. These financial statements / financial information are unaudited and have been furnished to us by the Company''s management and our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these joint operations, is based solely on such unaudited financial statements/financial information.

Including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

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

Attention is invited to :

(i) Note 43 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements regarding non-provision of interest amounting to Rs.1842.68 lakhs on Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs) issued to lenders under S4A scheme. Had such interest provision been made, the finance cost would have been increased by Rs.1842.68 lakhs and profit as well as shareholders fund for the year ended 31 st March, 2018 would have been reduced by Rs.1842.68 lakhs.

Pending the ultimate outcome of these matters, which is presently unascertainable, we are unable to comment on the recoverability of the aforesaid trade receivables.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SPML Infra Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Company 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, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness ofthe 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 Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 ofthe 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 ofthe Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition ofthe 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 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.

Independent Auditor''s Report

To the Members of SPML Infra Limited

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SPML Infra Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

2. The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") 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 (as amended). This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act; safeguarding the assets of the Company; preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor''s Responsibility

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

4. 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.

5. 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 ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements are free from material misstatement.

6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company''s preparation of the 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 Company''s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

Basis for Qualified Opinion

8. As explained in more detail in note 39 to the standalone financial statements, the Company''s trade receivables, fixed assets and inventories as at 31 March 2016 comprise of Rs. 4,829.10 lakhs (31 March 2015: Rs. 4,829.10 lakhs), Rs. 695.49 lakhs (31 March 2015: Rs. 1,084.28 lakhs) and Rs. 500.47 lakhs (31 March 2015: Rs. 557.74 lakhs), respectively, related to contracts which have been foreclosed by customers in earlier years and these are presently under arbitration / litigation proceedings. In absence of sufficient appropriate evidence, we are unable to comment upon the recoverability of the aforesaid trade receivables and carrying value and existence of the aforesaid fixed assets and inventories and the consequential impact, if any, that may arise on settlement of the aforesaid matters.

Qualified Opinion

9. 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 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 of the Company as at 31 March 2016, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter

10. We draw attention to note 42 to the standalone financial statements, which indicates the uncertainty relating to the recovery of trade and other receivables amounting to Rs. 15,997.75 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (31 March 2015: Rs. 19,823.46 lakhs) and recognition of interest income amounting to Rs. 769.68 lakhs during the year ended 31 March 2016 (Rs. 4,280.06 lakhs up to the year ended 31 March 2015). These amounts relates to the litigations pending with various courts with respect to arbitration awards pronounced in favor of the Company and recognized by the Company in the current year and earlier years, wherein the customers have gone into appeals. Pending the final outcome of these litigations, which is presently unascertainable, no adjustment has been recorded in the annual financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Annexure A

Based on the audit procedures performed for the purpose of reporting a true and fair view on the financial statements of the Company and taking into consideration the information and explanations given to us and the books of account and other records examined by us in the normal course of audit, and to the best of our knowledge and belief, we report that:

(i) a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of

Fixed assets.

b) The Company has a regular program of physical verification of its fixed assets under which fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over a period of --three years, which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets.

c) The title deeds of all the immovable properties (which are included under the head ''fixed assets'') are held in the name of the Company.

(ii) In our opinion, the management has conducted a physical verification of inventory at reasonable intervals, except for as stated in note 39, which have not been verified during the year.

a) In our opinion the terms and conditions of grant of such loans are not, prima facie, prejudicial to the company''s interest.

b) The schedule of repayment of the principal and the payment of the interest has not been stipulated and hence we are unable to comment as to whether repayments/receipts of the principal amount and the interest are regular;

c) in the absence of stipulated schedule of repayment of principal and payment of interest, we are unable to comment as to whether there is any amount which is overdue for more than 90 days and whether reasonable steps have been taken by the Company for recovery of the principal amount and interest.

(vi) We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the Company pursuant to the Rules made by the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under sub-section (1) of Section 148 of the Act in respect of Company''s products and services and are of the opinion that, prima facie, the prescribed accounts and records have been made and maintained.

Annexure B of the Independent Auditor''s Report of even date to the members of SPML Infra Limited, on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016

Annexure B

Independent Auditor''s report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

1. In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of SPML Infra Limited ("the Company") as of and for the year ended 31 March 2016, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (IFCOFR) of the company of as of that date.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

2. The Company''s Board of Directors 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 the company''s 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 Act.

Auditors'' Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s IFCOFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCOFR, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "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 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.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SPML Infra Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

2. Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the maters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") 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 fows 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 (as amended). This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3. Auditor's Responsibility

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

4. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and maters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.

5. 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 ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements are free from material misstatement.

6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, 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 qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

7. Basis for Qualified Opinion

As stated in Note 39 and 40 to the standalone financial statement, the company's trade receivables, fixed assets and inventories as at March 31, 2015 comprise of Rs. 4,829.10 lakhs (March 31, 2014: Rs. 1904.78 lakhs), Rs. 1,084.28 (March 31, 2014: Rs. 1,608.00 lakhs) and Rs. 557.74 lakhs, respectively, related to contracts which have been foreclosed by customers in earlier year and the current year and these are presently under arbitration/litigation proceedings. During the current year, the Company has recorded income aggregating to Rs. 834.69 Lakhs in respect of one of the foreclosed contract which is under arbitration, which in our opinion is not consistent with the principles of revenue recognition. In absence of sufficient appropriate evidence, we are unable to comment upon the recoverability of the aforesaid trade receivables and the existence and carrying value of the aforesaid inventories and fixed assets and the consequential impact, if any, on the financial statements that may arise on settlement of the aforesaid maters. The Auditor's report on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 was also qualified in respect of the mater described in Note 39 referred to above.

8. Qualified Opinion

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 mater stated in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph above, 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 of the Company as at March 31, 2015, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

9. Emphasis of Mater

We draw attention to note 42 to the standalone financial statements, which indicates the uncertainty relating to the outcome of litigations pending with courts/appellate tribunals with respect to arbitration awards amounting to Rs. 15,543.40 lakhs (including interest of Rs. 4,280.06 lakhs) pronounced in favor of the company and recognized in the books of account, however, the customers have preferred appeals on such awards. Pending the final outcome of these litigations, which is presently unascertainable, no adjustment has been recorded in the statement. Our audit report is not qualified in respect of this mater.

10. Other Maters

We did not audit the financial statements of two unincorporated integrated joint ventures, included in the standalone financial statements, whose financial statements reflect Company's share in profit of Rs. 17.53 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2015. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, by the management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year then ended to the extent relate to the financial statements not audited by us as stated in this paragraph is based on solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this mater.

We did not audit the financial statements of an unincorporated integrated joint venture, included in the standalone financial statements, whose financial statements reflect Company's share in profit of Rs. 8.35 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2015. These financial statements have been certified by the Company's management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year then ended to the extent they relate to the financial statements as stated in this paragraph is based solely on, on such management certified financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this mater.

The standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended March 31, 2014 were audited jointly by another auditor and Sunil Kumar Gupta & Co who had expressed a qualified opinion on those financial statements vide their report dated May 29, 2014. Sunil Kumar Gupta & Co., continues to be Joint auditor for the current year ended March 31, 2015.

Based on the audit procedures performed for the purpose of reporting a true and fair view on the financial statements of the Company and taking into consideration the information and explanations given to us and the books of account and other records examined by us in the normal course of audit, we report that:

(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.

(b) The Company has a regular program of physical verification of its fixed assets under which fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over a period of three years, which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies were noticed on such verification (except to the extent stated in note 39 of the financial statements).

(ii) (a) The management has conducted a physical verification of inventory at reasonable intervals, except for as stated in note 40, which have not been verified during the year.

(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventory followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.

(c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory and no material discrepancies between physical inventory and book records were noticed on physical verification.

(iii) The Company has granted unsecured loans to companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 189 of the Act, and with respect to the same:

(a) the terms of repayment of the principal amount and the payment of the interest have not been stipulated and hence we are unable to comment as to whether receipt of the principal amount and the interest is regular; and

(b) in the absence of stipulated terms and conditions, we are unable to comment as to whether there is any overdue amount in excess of Rs. one lakh and whether reasonable steps have been taken by the Company for recovery of the principal amount and interest.

(iv) In our opinion, there is an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and services.

(v) The Company has not accepted any deposits within the meaning of Sections 73 to 76 of the Act and the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014 (as amended). Accordingly, the provisions of clause 3(v) of the Order are not applicable.

(vi) We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the Company pursuant to the Rules made by the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under sub-Section (1) of Section 148 of the Act in respect of Company's products and services and are of the opinion that, prima facie, the prescribed accounts and records have been made and maintained.

(a) Note No. 32 regarding accounting of share of loss (net) amounting to Rs. 433.85 lakhs from seven Joint Ventures on the basis of unaudited financial statements as certified by the management. Further adjustments, if any, on this account are presently not ascertainable.

(b) Note No.44 regarding non provision of tax liability of Rs. 7482.04 lakhs as on March 31, 2012 (including Rs. 6,907.64 lakhs upto March 31, 2011) arising on account of the amendment to Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in the Finance Act, 2009. The Company has filed a writ with the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta, challenging the validity of the above retrospective amendment, which as per legal opinion obtained by the Company, is ultra vires to the main section of the above Act. The income tax officer has since disallowed the aforesaid claim of the Company in view of the said retrospective amendment, against which the Company has filed appeals with the appellate authorities. Till the matter is decided by the Hon'ble High Court, the liability, if any, in this regard is unascertainable. We are unable to comment on the impact of the above non-provision of tax on the Company's profit for the year and reserves and surplus at the year end. Further, because of the above, the Company has also not considered Minimum Alternate Tax benefit of Rs. 2051.67 lakhs (including Rs. 1,765.11 lakhs upto March 31, 2011) as credit in the accounts.

(c) Note No .45 regarding the premature termination by a client, of a part of the contract with consequential damages, which has been challenged by the Company in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The Company has also lodged counter claims against the client for the losses suffered due to delay on their part and feels that no further liability would accrue to the Company because of the above termination. The matter being sub-judice, we are unable to comment on the impact, if any, of the aforesaid termination on the related contract value, contract cost and unbilled revenue and its consequential impact on the profit for the year and the reserves and surplus of the Company as at the Balance Sheet date.

The audit report for the year ended March 31, 2011 was also modified for the matters stated in paragraphs (a), (b) and
