Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BIRLA TYRES LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2022, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and 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, 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 generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2022, and its loss, total comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibility 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 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Material uncertainty related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note 39 to the financial statements regarding preparation of the financial statements of the Company on a going concern. The Company had incurred losses during the previous Year and has continued to incur losses during the current year. The networth of the Company has been fully eroded. The Company has incurred net loss of RS 65,567.04 Lakhs during the year ended 31st March, 2022. The current liabilities as at 31st March, 2022 exceeds its total assets by RS 1,20,301.96 Lakhs. These conditions, along with the outcome of other matters as set forth in Note 39, indicate existence of material uncertainty, which cast significant doubts about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and consequently, the ability of the Company to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is solely dependent upon the proposal for infusion of funds by the investor which in turn is subject to the approval and successful implementation of the Scheme which is wholly beyond the control of the Company. The proposed Scheme has also been submitted to the lenders for their evaluation (Refer Note 40) to the financial statements. The management has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, as they are reasonably certain that the Scheme will be approved in the present form and the Company will be able to successfully implement the approved scheme and no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their presentation / classification in the Balance Sheet.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to Note 29(b) of the financial statements which describe the uncertainty related to the penalty of RS 17,833 Lakhs imposed by the Competition Commission of India for alleged cartelization by certain Tyre manufacturing companies including the Company. The Company has filed an appeal against the CCI Order before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ("NCLAT"). Based on a legal opinion obtained by the Company, the Company believes that it has a strong case in this matter. Considering the uncertainty relating to the outcome of this matter, no provision has been considered in the books of account.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section of our report, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter Auditors Response
1 Property, plant and equipment - Impairment assessment - Note 2.4 and Note 3 of the Financial Statements. Principal audit procedures performed
The Company has been making continuous losses in previous Year and in the current year due to various internal and external factors. As at 31st March, 2022, the carrying amount of the Property, Plant & Equipment amounted to RS 78,696.48 Lakhs [this includes RS 31,682.46 Lakhs (net of impairment charge of RS 43,551.70 Lakhs recorded during the current financial year) for Capital work in progress which is yet to commence commercial operations]. Our audit procedures included validating the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fair valuation approach and assumptions used for determining the fair value of assets by external experts through performing the following:
The management on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, assesses if there are any indicators that the Property, Plant & Equipment is impaired and, if indicators exist, performs an impairment test at the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) level by making an estimate of recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. • Obtained an understanding of controls instituted by the management to assess impairment indicators and perform impairment assessment.
Considering the continuous losses incurred by the Company, the probability of impairment could be dependent on assumptions and methodology used for the fair valuation of the Property, Plant and Equipment by the management appointed external experts. • Evaluated design and operating effectiveness of the management controls over the impairment assessment process and review of fair valuation report obtained from the external experts.
Impairment assessment of the Property, Plant and Equipment is considered as a Key Audit Matter since there is significant management judgements and estimates involved in the impairment assessment, such as: • Evaluated the reasonableness of the fair valuation methodology used and the assumptions made for determining the fair value (such as useful life of the assets, salvage value, inflation and index rate) of the assets at CGU level using our internal fair valuation specialists.
• The determination of recoverable amount, being the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs to dispose. • Tested the mathematical accuracy and performed sensitivity analysis in order to assess the potential impact on the recoverable amount.
• The methodology used in determination of the fair value of assets by management appointed external experts is dependent on interpretation of the valuation standards and the assumptions used such as inflation, index rates, useful lives, salvage value. • Reconciled the carrying amount of the category wise assets as per the valuation report provided by the management and as per the books of account.
• Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements with respect to the impairment of Property, Plant and equipment.
2 Assessment of going concern basis (as described in note 39 of the financial statements) Principal audit procedures performed
As at 31st March, 2022, the networth of the Company has been fully eroded. The Company has incurred net loss of RS 65,567.04 Lakhs during the year ended 31st March, 2022 and current liabilities as at 31st March, 2022 exceeds its total assets by RS 1,20,301.96 Lakhs. The Company has also defaulted in the payment of its borrowings and has overdue employee benefit liabilities and statutory liabilities as at 31st March, 2022. The Company has received loan regularisation letter, recall letters and demand notice from the lenders relating to the outstanding loans. Further the Company has also received notices under section 13(2) of Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 ("SARFAESI Act") from some of the lenders. In addition, the Company has long outstanding over dues in respect to trade payables (including employee benefit liabilities) and statutory dues amounting to RS 32,139.90 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2022. Consequent to the non-availability of funds to meet the working capital requirements, the operations of the Company are currently halted. These factors raises material uncertainty related to Going Concern assumption used by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements. We performed the following principal audit procedures in relation to managements assessment of going concern:
a) Evaluated design and implementation of and tested the control relating to managements assessment of appropriateness of going concern assumption.
b) Evaluated the appropriateness of identification of material uncertainties by the Management.
c) Analysed and discussed cash flow, EBITDA and other relevant forecasts with management.
d) Obtained and read, the minutes of the meeting held between the lenders and the Company to understand the lenders view on the status of loan restructuring.
e) Obtained understanding of the progress of the Scheme of Arrangement with respect to the restructuring of the dues to financial and operational creditors and demerger of Passenger Car Radial business of the Company.
Assessment of existence of material uncertainty related to Going Concern is considered as a Key Audit Matter as it involves significant management judgements and estimates for preparation of the cash flow forecast for next twelve months and managements mitigation plan which includes infusion of funds by the investor which in turn is subject to the approval and successful implementation of the Scheme which is wholly beyond the control of the Company, to address material uncertainty related to going concern. f) Obtained the understanding with respect to the proposed fund infusion by the investor in the Company and fulfilment of the pre-conditions for the fund infusion.
g) Performed the sensitivities and stress testing on the future cash flows that management has considered for the going concern assessment.
h) Obtained the loan regularisation letter, recall letters, demand notices and notices under section 13(2) of SARFAESI Act and evaluated the impact on the going concern assessment.
i) Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures in the financial statements with respect to the going concern assumptions

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon

• The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included Report of the Directors and the following Annexures thereto (namely Management Discussion and Analysis, Report on Corporate Governance, Annual Report on Corporate Social Responsibility Activities, Form AOC - 1, Conservation of energy, Technology Absorption and Exchange Earnings and Outgo), 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.

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company 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 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 statement 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.

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

Auditors Responsibility 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 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 financial 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 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 "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(g) under Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements of our report of even date)

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 BIRLA TYRES LIMITED ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2022 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. 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 respective 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 of the Company 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 prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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, 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 31st March, 2022, based on the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting 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.
