To the Members of Indosolar Limited
1. Report on the Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Ind as financial statements of Indosolar Limited
("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March 2018, 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
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
2. Managements Responsibility for the Ind AS 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 and
presentation of these Ind AS 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified in the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) 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 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 Ind AS financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
3. Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS financial statements based
on our audit. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and
auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under
Section 143 (10) of the Act and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
the disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companys
preparation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by the Companys Directors, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Ind AS financial statements.
4. Basis for Qualification
4.1 Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
a) The Company has continued to incur significant losses in the current year resulting
in further erosion of its net worth. The Company has a negative net worth amounting to Rs.
45,652.96 lakhs as on 31st March, 2018. The Companys current liabilities exceeds the
current assets by Rs. 85,105.46 lakhs as on 31st March 2018. The Companys long term,
short-term borrowings and other financial current liabilities as at 31st March 2018
includes the balances of term loan payable to various lender banks amounting to Rs.
33,408.44 lakhs and Rs.75,452.90 lakhs respectively on becoming non-performing assets.
These lender banks have exited from Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Cell vide its
letter dated 4th November, 2016. However, in absence of requisite information from the
banks, we are unable to comment upon the possible impact of such exit on the carrying
value of aforesaid long term, short-term borrowings, other financial current liabilities
as at 31st March 2018 and interest expense (including penal interest, if any) for year
ended 31st March 2018 and the consequential impact on the accompanying statement.
b) In the matter of Companys claim for eligibility of capital subsidy under SIP scheme
of Govt, of India, the Special Leave petition (SLP) filed by the Department of Information
Technology (DIT), against the order of the Honble High Court of Delhi has been dismissed
by the Honble Supreme court vide its order dated August 25, 2017. The uncertainty exists
with regard to its quantum and receipt of claim pending its appraisal by Department of
Information Technology. In the absence of the reasonable assurance, the management has not
recognized the claim. (Refer Note No 44(A)(iii)
c) The Company (being an EOU) has not been able to meet its commitment under the
Foreign Trade Policy on the basis of which the Company imported certain raw material,
stores and spares and machineries without payment of custom duty. As on 31st March, 2018
the Companys NFE is positive by Rs. 23,913.25 lakhs without considering the import value
of amortization of Line-C. In case, Company also amortizes the value of Line C (Commercial
production yet to start) NFE as on 31st March, 2018 would be negative by Rs.5494.01 lakhs.
In case positive NFE not achieved during the stipulated time, the company would be liable
to duties and penalties payable in accordance with Notification No. 52/2003 Cus. Dated
31.03.2003. Presently we are unable to comment upon the possible impact if any on the
accompanying statement. (Refer Note No 44(B)(ii).
d) The Company has plant and machinery under installation, disclosed under CWIP,
aggregating to Rs. 56,447.97 lakhs in respect of which management has recognized an
impairment loss of Rs. 30,700.00 lakhs during the year ended 31st March, 2018 based on
recoverable value of the assets determined using value in use method and is therefore
dependent on the various factors considered in making projections by the management. In
the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to the uncertainty
underlying the assumptionsparticularly the timing of expected imposition of anti/safeguard
duty and installation of Line -C and commencement of its commercial production,used in the
long term projections, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of aforesaid
Property, Plant and Equipment and adequacy of the impairment loss recognized during the
year ended 31st March, 2018 and the consequential impact, if any, on the accompanying
statement. ( Refer Note No 44(B)(iii).
e) During the year the Company has received the approval of One Time Settlement (OTS)
Scheme from Union Bank of India (Bank). As per the OTS Scheme if the Company is unable
to pay as per stipulations, the OTS proposal will stand cancelled automatically and the
bank will take suitable legal steps for recovery of entire dues (Refer Note No 44(A)(i).
On the basis of overall evaluation of the above factors and considering the domestic
content requirements under various Government schemes, proposed anti-dumping/safeguard
duty on import of solar cell, Companys claim for certain capital incentive from
Department of Information Technology (DIT), the Companys continuing efforts to settle
with the remaining bankers and Asset Reconstruction Company (India) Limited, the
management believes that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern
basis. Refer Note No 43.
On the basis of overall evaluation of the above factors, in our view, the full erosion
of net worth, inability of the Company to meet the financial projections due to operating
and cash losses, due to continuing down trend in the solar industry, inability of the
Company to meet its certain material liabilities and commitments, the fact that the impact
of the government decisions would be known only in future, the uncertainty of outcome of
claims, uncertainty on the ability of the Company to meet its export obligations & to
install line C acquired in the financial year 2011-12 (appearing in CWIP),due to
non-fulfillment of its financial obligations towards the supplier of the plant &
technology, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant
doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the
Company may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business. Consequently, material uncertainties exist regarding the use of going
concern assumption in preparing the financial statements.
In view of above uncertainties we are unable to comment on the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern and consequential classification and adjustment to the
accompanying financial statements, if any, that might have been necessary had the
financial statements being prepared under liquidation basis. The extent of the effect on
the resultant adjustments to the accumulated losses, assets and liabilities as at the
year-end is presently not ascertainable.
4.2 During the previous year two secured lenders have assigned their outstanding dues
to Assets Reconstruction Company (India) Limited (ARCIL). i) Pending finalization of terms
of assignment, the company has not provided interest Rs. 4934.74 lakhs for the year ended
31st March, 2018. As a consequence to this, interest of Rs. 4934.74 lakhs for the year
ended 31st March, 2018 has been under provided, ii) On the basis of confirmation received
from one of the lending bank namely Corporation Bank in the Non-Performing Assets (NPA)
account, the Companys liability to the bank is more by Rs. 2323.88 lakhs as on 31.03.2018
which prima facie appears to be primarily penal interest. Pending receipts of requisite
details, their verification and reconciliation of the claim and pending OTS proposal of
the Company with the bank, the Company has not provided the same.
As a consequence to this, interest of Rs. 7258.62 lakhs for the year ended 31st March,
2018 has been under provided. Had the Company provided the interest on loans loss for the
year ended 31st March, 2018 would have been higher by Rs.7258.62 lakhs and Current
Liabilities and Reserve & Surplus have been under stated by the same.

given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for

Annexure-B to the Independent Auditors Report

We have audited the internal financial control sover financial reporting of Indosolar
Limited ("theCompany") as on 31st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of
the Ind AS 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 a 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") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed
to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act 2013, to the extent 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 dis positions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind AS
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 Ind AS
Financial Statements.
In herent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the in herent limitations of internal financial control sover financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management over-ride 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 in adequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
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 31 March 2018, 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.
