Report on the Audit of Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of ANKIT METAL & POWER 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 a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Financial Statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effect of matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the aforesaid 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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2023 and the Losses including Other Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and its Cash Flows Statement for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

We draw your attention to Note No.28 of the accompanying Financial Statements regarding non provision of interest expense on the borrowings of the Company amounting to Rs. 15,563.02 Lacs for the year ended 31st March, 2023 (cumulative non provision of Rs. 95,913.89 Lacs till 31st March, 2023) and penal interest and charges thereof (amount remaining unascertained) which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 23: Borrowing Costs read with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments.

Had the aforesaid interest expense been recognized, the finance cost for the year ended 31st March, 2023 would have been Rs.15,570.57 Lacs instead of reported amount of Rs.7.55 Lacs. The total expenses for the year ended 31st March, 2023 would have been Rs.1,11,837.45Lacs instead of Rs. 95,282.58 Lacs. The Net Loss after tax for the year ended 31st March, 2023 would have been Rs.26,429.60Lacs instead of reported amount of Rs. 9,874.73 Lacs. Total Comprehensive Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2023 would have been Rs.26,301.12 Lacs instead of reported amount of Rs.9746.24 Lacs. Other equity as on 31st March, 2023 would have been Rs. (1,99,281.11) Lacs instead of reported amount of Rs.(1,02,375.36) Lacs and Other Current Financial Liability as on 31st March, 2023 would have been Rs.1,17,125.00 Lacs instead of reported amount of Rs. 20,219.26 Lacs.

(The above reported interest has been calculated by using Simple Interest Rate).

We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion on the financial statements.

Material uncertainty relating to Going Concern

We draw your attention to Note No. 29 of the Financial Statements regarding preparation of the Financial Statements on going concern basis, for the reason mentioned therein. The Company has incurred losses during year ended 31st March, 2023. As on date the Companys current liabilities are substantially higher than its current assets and net worth has also been fully eroded. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as going concern. The appropriateness of assumption of going concern is critically dependent upon the debt resolution of the Company which is under process, the Companys ability to raise requisite finance, generation of cash flows in future to meet its obligation and to earn profit in future.

Key Audit Matters

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 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.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Sl. No. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
1 Claim and exposure relating to taxation and litigation Our audit procedures included the following:
The Company has material uncertain tax positions including matters in respect of disputed claims/levies under various taxes and legal matters. Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures:
• Obtained understanding of key uncertain tax positions;
The taxes and litigation exposures have been identified as key audit matter due to: • We have reviewed and analysed key correspondences relating to dispute;
i. Litigation cases require significant judgement due to complexity of the case and involvement of various authorities. • We have discussed the matter for key uncertain tax positions with appropriate senior management;
ii. These involve significant management judgment to determine the possible outcome of the uncertain tax positions. • We have evaluated managements underlying key assumptions in estimating the tax provisions; and assessed managements estimate of the possible outcome of the disputed cases

Emphasis of Matter

i. As referred in Note No. 32 of the Financial Statements, certain balances of "Borrowings", "Trade Receivables", "Trade payables", "Advances from Customer", "Advances Recoverable in Cash or Kind" and "Advance to Suppliers and Other Parties" etc. includes balances remaining outstanding for a substantial period.

ii. As referred in Note No. 28 of the Financials, various credit facilities availed from UBI, IOB, SBI, IDBI and Allahabad Bank have been assigned by the respective banks in favor of Asset Reconstruction Companies under various assignment agreements between the respective Banks and Asset Reconstruction Companies. In absence of information about the terms of assignments, the company is carrying the various credit facilities as appearing in the books and as per the previous terms with the respective banks. This may have consequential impact on the reported financials.

iii. With reference to Note 28 to the financial statement, UCO Bank and Rare Asset Care & Reconstruction Enterprise Limited, financial creditors have filed an application under section 7 of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) before National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Kolkata Bench for initiating Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the company (Ankit Metal & Power Limited) and the matter is sub-judice and not yet admitted.

Our report is not modified in these matters.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companys Annual Return but does not include the Financial Statements and our Auditors report thereon.

Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do 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 and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibility of the Management for the Financial Statements

The Companys 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 the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including Other Comprehensive Gain/Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of 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.

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.

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

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

• Conclude on the appropriateness of 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Financial Statements.

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 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 B" TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

Report on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the Internal Financial Controls over financial reporting of ANKIT METAL & POWER LIMITED ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys 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 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing issued by ICAI and 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 auditors 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 Companys Internal Financial Controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 31st March 2023, 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.
