The Members of

AJR INFRA AND TOLLING LIMITED

(formerly Gammon Infrastructure Projects Limited)

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 Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, 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 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 March 31, 2023, the loss (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

a) Attention is invited to Note 27 (a) of the Financial Statement, relating to the Project in the SPV;

Indira Container Terminal Pvt Ltd. There exists material uncertainty relating to the future of the Project where the exposure of the Company in the SPV/project is 13,249.48 lacs (funded and non- funded). The draft settlement agreement between the SPV, Ministry of Shipping (MoS), Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) has been rejected by MbPT. The Company and the SPV are in discussion with MbPT and MoS to reconsider the Project. The credit facility is marked as NPA by the Lenders. The SPV and MbPT have initiated arbitration proceedings which are in progress. The MBPT has requested for conciliation proceedings which are also under active discussions. Also, the lead Bank has approached NCLT Mumbai Bench against its outstanding dues and submitted its application under Insolvency and Bankruptcy code, 2016. After seeking extension, the SPV has filed its reply and the matter is listed for the next hearing on November 7, 2023. Pending conclusion of matters of material uncertainty related to the Project ,decision of the OTS by the lenders not being concluded and the outcome of NCLT matter, we are unable to comment whether any provision is required towards possible impairment towards the said exposure.

b) Attention is invited to Note 30 (a) of the Statement in respect of PHPL where the CIRP proceedings had been initiated. NCLT has approved the resolution plan vide order dated May 10,2022 submitted by Resolution Professional and as per the NCLT Order no surplus is available to the Company.

The Company lost the appeal in front of the NCLAT and has filed an appeal in Supreme court against the NCLAT order and expects favourable outcome on the matter.

Pending the outcome, no impairment has been done by the Management against the funded exposure.

On accounts of the facts stated above, there is possible impairment towards the exposure of the company in the SPV of 1,40,318.70 lacs unless the Management receives a favorable order in its appeal before the Supreme Court.

c) Attention is invited to Note 27 (f) of the Financial Statement, relating to power project where the operation of the project is under constraints as detailed in the note. The SPV has also invoked the arbitration against the Karkhana and the Karkhana has approached Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).

Based on the submission of Karkhana that the Plant was possessed and run by Karkhana, the tribunal ordered to maintain status quo. The Company is in the process of filling its response at DRT. Also, the SPVs credit facilities are marked as Non-

Performing Assets. Pending the outcome of the legal proceedings and in the absence of resolution of financial and operational constraint under the project, we are unable to comment whether any provision is required towards possible impairment towards the exposure of the project. The Audit Report of SPV contains disclaimer of opinion for illegal occupancy of the factory by Karkhana and that the access to facility and records and transactions for the period from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 are not available with the Company. The Company on a prudent basis has provided for the entire funded exposure amounting to 10,700.04 lacs. Total non-funded exposure outstanding as at March 31, 2023 is 19,167.00 lacs.

d) We invite attention to Note 29 of the Financial Statement, wherein during the earlier year, Western Coalfields Limited (WCF) had encashed Bank Guarantee amounting 1,514.01 lacs given in favour of Aparna Infraenergy India Private Limited (one of the SPVs sold to BIF India Holding Pte Ltd on February 29, 2016). Subsequent to encashment the Company has filed an application for converting earlier injunction application to suit for recovery of damages. The Management is hopeful of getting favourable decision on the matter and recovery of damages based on legal advice on the matter. Pending the outcome, the Company has shown guarantee encashment amount as receivable from Western Coal Fields.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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 on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern

We invite attention to Note 28 of the Financial Statement relating to material uncertainty relating to going concern. The Companys current liabilities exceeded current assets significantly and are at 142,468.05 lacs. There is a continuing mismatch including defaults in payment of its financial obligations to its subsidiary Company. The liquidity crunch is affecting the Companys operation with increasing severity. We also invite attention to note 27 of the Statement wherein status of various SPV projects which are stressed due to delay in completion, cost overrun, liquidity crunch and have legal issues, arbitration proceedings or negotiations. The future of these projects as also the successful progress and completion depends on favourable decisions on outstanding litigations being received by the Management. The resolutions planned by the Management are pending since a long time and are not concluding in favour of the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of Material Uncertainty which may impact the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Our report is not qualified on this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following matters;

a) We invite attention to Note 27 (c) of the Financial Statement, regarding unilateral termination and closure of Concession in a bridge project, which is subject to pending litigations / arbitrations at various forums, which may impact the carrying values of investments and loans and advances given to the subsidiary. The Companys funded exposure towards the said project is 2,354.26 lacs. Pending conclusion on these legal matters, no adjustments have been made in the financial statements.

b) We invite attention to Note 27 (d) of the Financial Statement, in relation to intention to exit one of the hydro power projects at Himachal Pradesh and seeking a claim of an amount against the amount spent on the Project. The Companys subsidiary has cited reasons for non-continuance on account of reasons beyond its control. Pursuant to the completion of Arbitration vide order dated 23^rd January 2023, the SPVs share of the arbitration proceeds is adequate to cover the exposure and therefore no adjustments are required towards the exposure of 7137.95 lacs.

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

Apart from what is mentioned in our paragraph titled Basis of Qualified Opinion, paragraph titled Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern and Emphasis of Matter there are no other matters described to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the Other Information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companys Annual Report but does not include the Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements and our Independent Auditors Report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this report.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the Other Information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information identified above 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.

The Other Information has not been made available to us till the date of this report. We will read the Other Information as and when it is made available to us and if conclude that there is a material misstatement, we are required to communicate the matter with those charged with governance and take necessary steps as may be required thereafter.

Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Standalone 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 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 accounting Standards 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 standalone financial statements 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 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors 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 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 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

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

4. 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.

5. 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

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 standalone 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.

Other Matters

The Standalone financial statements for the comparative period i.e., year ended March 31,2022 included in the enclosed Standalone Financial Statement, are based on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022, which were audited by the predecessor auditor M/s.

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 with reference to Financial Statements 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 with reference to Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements, 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 with reference to Financial Statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A companys internal financial control with reference to Financial Statements 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 with reference to Financial Statements 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 with reference to Financial Statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of Financial controls with reference to Financial Statements, 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 with reference to Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Financial Statements 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 with reference to standalone Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 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.
