To the Members of Flexituff Ventures International Limited

 

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Flexituff Ventures International Limited (‘the Company’), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023, 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 notes to the financial statements including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “standalone financial statements”).

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis of 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 Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and/or any addendum thereto as defined in the Rule 2(1)(a) of the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2023, and its loss (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

 

Basis of Qualified Opinion

3. We draw attention to the following matters:

(a). The Company has recognized deferred tax asset (net) of Rs. 1,129.67 million on its carried forward accumulated losses (including unabsorbed depreciation) and other temporary differences. In accordance with Ind AS 12 on Income Taxes, a deferred tax asset shall be recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. Due to the financial difficulties experienced by the Company as stated in Note 22(d) and Note 24(c) to the standalone financial statements and significant uncertainty stated in Note 52 to the standalone financial statements, we are unable to comment on the recoverability of deferred tax asset and consequential impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements. Had the Deferred tax asset not been created, the net loss and total comprehensive loss for the year ended 31 March 2023 would have been higher by Rs. 1,129.67 million and other equity as on that date would have been lower by the same amount.

(b). The Company’s Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) viz.

Kashipur cluster, has a carrying value of Rs. 3,023.93 million as at 31 March 2023 comprising of tangible and intangible assets. The Company has performed an impairment assessment of the CGU as required under Ind AS 36 Impairment of Assets. The Company is undergoing financial difficulties as stated in Note 22(d) and Note 24(c) to the standalone financial statements and there is significant uncertainty as cited in Note 52 to the standalone financial statements in respect of the Company’s plan to monetize its assets, secure funding from the bankers / investors, restructure its liabilities and normalize its operations. We are unable to comment on the appropriateness of the assumptions for the projections used in the impairment assessment and consequential impairment provision, if any, to be made in the standalone financial statements with regard to the CGU.

(c). The Company has not provided for interest charge (including penal interest) amounting to Rs. 183.29 million for the year ended 31 March 31 2020; Rs 171.44 million for the year ended 31 March 2021; Rs 203.07 million for the year ended 31 March 2022 and Rs 272.62 million for the year ended 31 March 2023 respectively on loans outstanding to certain lenders; this constitutes departure from the accrual basis of accounting stipulated under Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, interest due to lenders (gross of TDS deduction), the interest cost and loss for the years ended 31 March 2023, 31 March 2022, 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 is understated by Rs 272.62 million, Rs 203.07 million, Rs. 171.44 million and 183.29 million respectively. In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to comment upon the consequential impact, if any that may arise from this matter. (Refer Note 51 to the standalone financial statement).

4. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SA’s) and other pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) 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 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 opinion on the standalone financial statements.

 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

5. We draw attention to Note 52 to the standalone financial statements which states that the Company has incurred net losses of Rs. 1,045.02 million during the year ended 31 March 2023 and has a net current liability position of Rs. 5,457.64 million as on that date and describes certain loans for which the Company is in default. Further, the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is dependent on restructuring of its loans. These conditions indicate significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The Company is in the process of executing an Inter Creditor Arrangement and proposing a resolution plan to the lenders. In view of the above, the standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

Emphasis of Matters

6. We draw attention to

(a). Note 53 to the standalone financial statements which describes Tuff Subsidy and Government Subsidy receivable by the Company of Rs 124.32 million which pertains to the period prior to financial year 2016-17. The Company is pursuing with respective banks and Ministry of Textiles through a Consultant. The Company is confident that the said government subsidy will be released, once the joint inspection (JIT) and other procedure laid down by the Ministry of Textile are completed.

(b). Note 54 to the standalone financial statements which describes claims amounting to Rs 149.92 million of export incentive receivable. The Company was getting export incentive under Merchandise Export from India Scheme and recognized export incentive receivable till 30 June 2020. Government of India has withdrawn this scheme with retrospective that is from 7 March 2019. FIBC manufacturer association (IFIBCA) has challenged retrospective withdrawal of incentive scheme by the Government before Hon’ble High Court, New Delhi. The Hon’ble High Court has issued interim order and final order is awaited in this regard. The Company is confident that final order of High Court will be issued in favour of manufacturers. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not modified in respect of these matters.

 

Key Audit Matters

7. Except for the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section, Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section and Emphasis of Matters section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

 

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

8. The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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 auditors report.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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 annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

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

9. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act 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 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.

10. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

11. 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

12. 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 SA’s 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.

13. As part of an audit in accordance with SA’s issued by ICAI, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 with reference to standalone financial statements 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 Board of Directors’ 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone 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.
