Report on the Audit of Standalone Financial Statements Qualified

Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Supreme Infrastructure India Limited (‘the Company), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

2. 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 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 (‘Act) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at 31 March 2021, and its loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

3. As stated in Note 11.3 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, the Companys current financial assets as at March 31 2021 include trade receivables aggregating

Rs.45,680.90 lakhs in respect of projects which were closed/ substantially closed and where the receivables have been outstanding for a substantial period. Management has assessed that no adjustments are required to the carrying value of the aforesaid balances, which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 109, ‘Financial Instruments. Consequently, in the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence to support the managements contention of recoverability of these amounts and balance confirmations, we are unable to comment upon the adjustments, if any, that are required to the carrying value of trade receivable, and consequential impact, if any, on the accompanying standalone financial statement. The Opinion on the statement for the year ended 31 March 2020 was also modified in respect of this matter.

4. As stated in Note 4.4 to to the accompanying standalone financial statements, the Companys non-current investments as at March 31, 2021 include non-current investments in one of its subsidiary aggregating Rs.142,556.84 lakhs.

The subsidiary has significant accumulated losses, and its consolidated net-worth is fully eroded. Further, the subsidiary is facing liquidity constraints due to which it may not be able to realise projections as per the approved business plans. Based on the valuation report of an independent valuer as at March 31, 2019 and other factors described in the aforementioned note, Management has considered such balance as fully recoverable Management has assessed that no adjustments are required to the carrying value of the aforesaid balances, which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 109, ‘Financial Instruments. In the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence to support the managements assessment as above, continued losses in this subsidiary for FY 2020-21, and other relevant alternate evidence, we are unable to comment upon adjustments, if any, that may be required to the carrying values of these non-current investments and aforementioned dues and the consequential impact on the accompanying standalone financial statements. Previous opinion on the standalone financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2020 was also modified in respect of this matter.

5. Note 16.1 to the accompanying statements, the Companys other current financial liabilities as at March 31, 2021 include balance amounting to Rs.57,909.52 Lakhs, in respect of which confirmations/statements from the respective banks/lenders have not been provided to us by the management of the Company. Further, in respect of certain loans while principal balance has been confirmed from the confirmations issued by the banks/lenders, the interest accrued amounting Rs.184,427.50 Lakhs have not been confirmed by banks/ lenders. In the absence of such confirmation from banks/ lenders or sufficient and appropriate alternate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the adjustments and changes in classification of balances in accordance with the principle of Ind AS 1, presentation of financial statements, if any, that may be required to carrying value of the aforementioned balances in the accompanying statement.

6. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules there under, 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.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

7. We draw attention to Note 37 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs.64,150.95 lakhs during the year ended March 31 2021 and, as of that date; the Companys accumulated losses amounts to Rs.241,787.27 lakhs which have resulted in a full erosion of net worth of the Company and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs.377,940.02 lakhs. Further, as disclosed in Note 3 to the said financial statements, Company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest in respect of its borrowing and has overdue operational creditor outstanding as at March 31, 2021. The above factors, along with other matters as set forth in the aforesaid note, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. However, based on ongoing discussion with the lenders for restructuring of the loans, revised business plans, equity infusion by the promoters, and other mitigating factors mentioned in the aforementioned note, Management is of the view that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. Our Opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The above assessment of the Companys ability to continue as going concern is by its nature considered as a key audit matter in accordance with SA 701. In relation to the above key audit matter, our audit work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:

i. Obtained an understanding of the managements process for identifying all events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the companys ability to continue as a going concern and a process to assess the corresponding mitigating factors existing against each such event or condition. Also, obtained an understanding around the methodology adopted by the Company to assess their future business performance including the preparation of a cash flow forecast for the business.

ii. Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around aforesaid identification of events or conditions and mitigating factors, and controls around cash flow projections prepared by the management.

iii. We obtained from the management, its projected cash flows for the next twelve months basis their future business plans and considering the impacts of implementation of Tariff Order, 2017. Reconciled the cash flow forecast to the future business plan of the Company as approved by the Board of Directors

iv. Assessed the methodology used by the management to estimate the cash flow projections including the appropriateness of the key assumptions in the cash flow projections for next 12 months by considering our understanding of the business, past performance of the Company, external data and market conditions apart from discussing these assumptions with the management and the Audit Committee.

v. Tested mathematical accuracy of the projections and applied independent sensitivity analysis to the key assumptions mentioned above to determine and ensure that there was sufficient headroom with respect to the estimation uncertainty impact of such assumptions on the calculations.

vi. Assessed that the disclosures made by the management are in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

8. We draw attention to Note 38 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes the effects of uncertainties relating to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on the Companys operations and managements evaluation of its impact on the accompanying statement as at the reporting date, the extent of which is significantly dependent on future developments.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

Key Audit Matter

9. 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 period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

10. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion and Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern sections, we have determined the matter 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
Recognition of contract revenue, margin and contract costs (Refer note 2.1(xix) of the standalone financial statements)
The Companys revenue primarily arises from construction contracts which, by its nature, is complex given the significant judgements involved in the assessment of current and future contractual performance obligations. Our audit of the recognition of contract revenue, margin and related receivables and liabilities included, but were not limited to, the following:
Effective 1 April 2018, the Company has adopted Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the cumulative catch-up transition method. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue and margins based on the stage of completion which is determined on the basis of the proportion of value of goods or services transferred as at the Balance Sheet date, relative to the value of goods or services promised under the contract. All the projects of the Company satisfy the criteria for recognition of revenue over time (using the percentage of completion method) since the control of the overall asset (property/ site / project) lies with the customer who directs the Company. Further, the Company has assessed that it does not have any alternate use of these assets. Evaluated the appropriateness of the Companys revenue recognition policies;
The recognition of contract revenue, contract costs and the resultant profit/loss therefore rely on the estimates in relation to forecast contract revenue and the total cost. These contract estimates are reviewed by the management on a periodic basis. Assessed the design and implementation of key controls over the recognition of contract revenue and margins, and tested the operating effectiveness of these controls;
In doing so, the management is required to exercise judgement in its assessment of the valuation of contract variations and claims and liquidated damages as well as the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete and the ability to deliver contracts within contractually determined timelines. The final contract values can potentially be impacted on account of various factors and are expected to result in varied outcomes. For a sample of contracts, tested the appropriateness of amount recognized by evaluating key management judgements inherent in the forecasted contract revenue and costs to complete that drive the accounting under the percentage of completion method, including:
Changes in these judgements, and the related estimates as contracts progress can result in material adjustments to revenue and margins. As a result of the above judgments, complexities involved and material impact on the related financial statement elements, this area has been considered a key audit matter in the audit of the standalone financial statements. - reviewed the contract terms and conditions;
- evaluated the identification of performance obligation of the contract
- evaluated the appropriateness of managements assessment that performance obligation was satisfied over time and consequent recognition of revenue using percentage of completion method.
- tested the existence and valuation of claims and variations within contract costs via inspection of correspondence with customers;
- obtained an understanding of the assumptions applied in determining the forecasted revenue and cost to complete;
- assessed the ability of the Company to deliver contracts within budgeted timelines and exposures, if any, to liquidated damages for late delivery; and
Assessed that the disclosures made by the management are in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Other Matters

11. The standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended March 31, 2020 were audited by one of the joint statutory auditors Ramanand & Associates, Chartered Accountants, in sole capacity on which they had issued a modified opinion vide report dated 6 January 2021.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon

12. The Companys 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 financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

As described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section above, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about the carrying amount of Trade receivables, Non-current Investments and other financial liabilities as at March 31, 2021. Accordingly, we are unable to conclude whether or not the other information is materially misstated with respect to this matter. With respect to the information in Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance. We have not yet received information on the same till date of issuance of this report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

13. The Companys 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 state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate 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.

14. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companys 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.

15. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

16. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.

17. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

Conclude on the appropriateness of managements 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 auditors 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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 auditors 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.

Annexure 2 to the Independent Auditors 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 Supreme Infrastructure India Limited ("the Company") as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting ("IFCoFR") of the Company as at that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

2. The Companys 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 (‘the Guidance Note) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("the 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 the Companys business, including adherence to Companys 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 Companys IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and 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 includes 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 auditors judgement, 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 qualified opinion on the Companys IFCoFR.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

6. A companys 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 companys IFCoFR include 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 companys 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.

Basis for Qualified opinion

8. According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified in the operating effectiveness of the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting as at 31 March 2021:

a. The Companys internal financial control in respect of supervisory and review controls over process of determining impairment allowance for trade receivables which are doubtful of recovery were not operating effectively. Absence of detailed assessment conducted by the management for determining the recoverability of trade receivables that remain long outstanding, in our opinion, could result in a potential material misstatement to the carrying value of trade receivables, and consequently, could also impact the loss (financial performance including comprehensive income) after tax.

b. The Companys internal financial control in respect of supervisory and review controls over process of determining the carrying value of non-current investments were not operating effectively. Absence of detailed assessment conducted by the management for determining the carrying value of non-current investments, in our opinion, could result in a potential material misstatement to the carrying value of non-current investment, and consequently, could also impact the loss (financial performance including comprehensive income) after tax.

9. A ‘material weakness 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 companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Qualified Opinion

10. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting as at 31 March 2021, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI, and except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the Companys IFCoFR were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021.

11. We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determine the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021 and the material weakness has effected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial statements.
