Basis for Adverse Opinion

(i) . We refer to the Note No. 4.2 relating to the investment in its subsidiaries Surana Power Limited (SPL).

The carrying value of the investment in the SPL as at March 31, 2017 was Rs. 45,350.00 lakhs (previous year Rs. 41,850.00 lakhs). In addition, the Company has also issued a financial guaranteeof Rs. 10,000 lakhs to the lenders against the loans taken by this subsidiary. The net worth of thissubsidiary has fully eroded as at the Balance Sheet date and its current liabilities exceeded its currentassets as on that date. The independent auditor of the subsidiary has given an adverse audit opinion on itsfinancial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 stating that the going concern assumption is notappropriate and the carrying value of the assets of the subsidiary may also be impaired.No provision has been considered by the management for the diminution in the value of the investmentsin this subsidiary and for the likelihood of the devolvement of the guarantee on the Company.

(ii) . Attention is invited to Note No. 4.2 regarding investment in Subsidiary Surana Mines & Minerals

Limited having a carrying value aggregating to Rs.5,848.26 lakhsthat were approved for divestment due to continuing adverse market scenario which was impacting the survival of the parent Company. This investment is carried at cost and has not been assessed for any impairment to the carrying values.

(iii) . Inventory as at March 31,2017 aggregated to Rs. 14,879.51 lakhs,(previous year Rs. 16,576.85 lakhs) for

which the quantity quality and realizable value were not assessed and determined by the management. In the absence of evidence for physical existence of inventory as at March 31,2017 and net realizable value of inventory, we are unable to comment on the adjustment that may be required to the carrying value of the inventory.

(iv) . The carrying value of the financials assets as at March 31, 2017 are not measured in accordance with the

Ind AS- 109 and we are unable to comment on the adjustment that may be required to the carrying value of the financials assets.

(v) . The financial results for the year ended March 31, 2017 have been prepared on a going concern basis in

spite of negative net worth after considering the impact of the modifications mentioned in paragraph (a) and ( b ) above. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is significantly dependent on the successful outcome of the ongoing negotiations with the lenders and therefore, we are unable to comment if the going concern assumption is appropriate and any effect it may have on the financial results for the year ended March 2017.

(vi) The Company has considered trade receivables outstanding for more than 1 year of Rs. 11,582.16 Lakhs and capital advances of Rs. 6,170.88 Lakhs as good and recoverable. However, we were unable to confirm or verify, by alternative means, balances of such trade receivables and we are unable to comment on the adjustments that may be required as at March 31, 2017.

(vii) Had the provision been made for the financial liability arising out of the guarantee as referred to in paragraph (a) above, had the provision been made for trade receivables and capital advances as referred to in paragraph (b), the loss would have been increased by Rs. 27,768.24 Lakhs and consequently net worth would have been reduced by Rs. 27,768.24 Lakhs respectively.

Adverse Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, dueto the significance of the matters described in the Basis of Adverse Opinion paragraph, the aforesaidStandalone Ind AS Financial Statements do not give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 in the mannerso required and also do not give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India including Ind AS, of the financial position of the Company as at 31st March, 2017, and its financial performance including other comprehensive income, its cash flowsfor the year ended on that date.

ANNEXURE B TO THE 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 Surana Industries Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2017 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 basedon 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 overFinancial 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 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 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 financialcontrols system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financialcontrols over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls overfinancial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design andoperating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on theauditors 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 ouradverse audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Acompanys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonableassurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for externalpurposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial controlover financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of recordsthat, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of thecompany; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparationof financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts andexpenditures

of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management anddirectors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection ofunauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the AS 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 erroror 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.

Adverse Opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, material weaknesses havebeen identified as at March 31, 2017, with respect to the Company not establishing an internal control framework relating to all components of internal control and consequently controls have not been designed to evaluate appropriateness of the going concern assumption, determination of provisions for diminution in the value of investments and accrual for liability arising out of financial guarantee, evaluation of existence and valuation of inventory and determination of completeness of interest liability to banks and financial institutions and determination of prior period expenses.

A ‘material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control overfinancial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companysannual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, because of theeffects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria,the Company has not maintained adequate and effective internal financial controls over financial reporting asof March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Companyconsidering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of InternalFinancial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing,and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year endedMarch 31, 2017, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the said Standalone financialstatements of the Company and we have issued an adverse opinion on the Standalone financial statements ofthe Company.
