Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of TIL Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Standalone Balance sheet as at 31st March 2023, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss, including the Standalone Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows, the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as ‘Standalone Financial Statements).

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 for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2023, its loss including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

We draw attention to the following matters:

(a) Note No. 33 of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements for not carrying out fair valuation of interest free loans from the Promoters/Promoters Group of Companies and other lenders aggregating to Rs. 15,885 Lakhs as required under Ind AS-109 and its impact on Standalone Financial Statements has not been ascertained by the management. In absence of fair valuation of above interest free loans, we are unable to determine its impact on the Standalone Financial Statements.

(b) Note No. 34 of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements which states that the company has incurred a cash loss of Rs. 8,314 Lakhs during the year and its net worth is negative as on the Balance Sheet date. Moreover, the Companys current liabilities also exceed its current assets as at 31st March 2023. In view of the acute financial crisis faced by the Company, lenders have declared the loan facilities granted to the Company as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA). However, the lenders have also extended ‘Holding on Operations to the Company through a ‘Trust & Retention Account opened with the Lead Bank of the Consortium namely, Bank of India (‘BOI). Further, the lead bank, namely Bank Of India, had filed a petition under Section 7 of the IBC before the Honble National Company Law Tribunal on 28th September 2022. The application is yet to be admitted. Meanwhile, the Board of Directors approved a resolution plan at its meeting held on 26th November 2022 which had since been submitted with all of TILs Consortium Bankers on 28th November 2022 which is currently under discussion.

The above situation indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. However, the management of the company has been considering the feasibility and effectiveness of the certain planned actions including proposed investment & proposed resolution plan and considering the sales orders in hand, the management has concluded that the material uncertainties are expected to be mitigated and hence the Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The appropriateness of the assumption of going concern is dependent on successful outcome of proposed investment by the investor and proposed resolution plan as stated above. Hence, we are unable to comment on whether the Company will be able to continue as Going Concern.

(c) Note No. 10.1 of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements regarding carry forward of Minimum Alternate Tax Credit of Rs. 3,026 Lakhs as on 31st March 2023 (a component of deferred tax asset in the financial statements) which was accounted for in the earlier years. In the opinion of the management sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which these unused tax credits can be utilized within the stipulated period under the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961. However, we are unable to comment for utilization of said MAT credit in absence of basis for reasonable certainty supported by convincing evidence.

(d) Note No. 12.5 of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements regarding Stock in Transit which includes materials valuing Rs. 3,248 Lakhs lying in Bonded Warehouse/at Port as on 31st March 2023 which also includes Rs. 3,234 Lakhs imported in earlier years. These inventories could not be released from the authorities due to non-payment of custom duty, other charges etc. and as explained, due to this confirmation has also not been received. The management does not expect any material loss on account of any obsolescence in these said stocks due to passage of time and no provision is considered necessary. However, as these materials are lying for a considerable period of time and due to non-availability of its technical assessment, we are unable to comment whether any provision for obsolescence are required in this regard.

(e) Note No. 35 of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements regarding an enquiry by "Directorate of Revenue Intelligence & Enforcement" (DRI) which has been ongoing since June 2021 in respect to certain trading transactions and other matters related to earlier years and the Company has since complied with the requirements of the DRI. On 7th November 2022 and 10th November 2022 the Company received an Investigation report of DRI dated 20th July 2022 from the GST Authority, together with certain demand intimations based on the Investigation report. These demand initimations were for FY 2019-20 and for FY 2020-21 for payment of tax/interest/penalty amounting to Rs. 928.90 Lakhs & Rs. 3,290.79 Lakhs respectively under Section 74(5) of the GST Act; and a reply to such intimations had been filed by the Company on 17th January 2023. Subsequently, on 24th March 2023, Show Cause Notice - DRC-01 for FY 2019-2020 was issued u/s. 74(1) of the CGST/WBGST Act, 2017 to the Company. A personal hearing was held on 6th April 2023, pursuant to which certain clarifications were submitted by the Company on 17th April 2023. Also, a reply to the Show Cause notice was submitted to the GST Authorities on 8th May 2023. On the same day, i.e 8th May 2023, an Order was issued by the GST authorities for tax, interest, and penalty adding to Rs. 958.97 Lakhs for FY 2019-20. The Company is of the view that the demand raised by GST authorities does not have merit; and hence an appeal against this order shall be filed before the prescribed Appellate Authority as per the provisions under Sec 107 of the CGST Act. In view of this, no provision is considered necessary by the management.

(f) Trade Receivables, Advances to Suppliers, Trade Payable and Advances from customers amounting to Rs. 3,019 Lakhs, Rs. 1,050 Lakhs, Rs. 12,542 Lakhs and Rs. 3,494 Lakhs respectively were outstanding as on 31st March 2023. The Company could not get necessary confirmations from the respective parties and due to no material subsequent movement in such balances, alternate procedure to verify those balances could also not be performed. Further, the Company could not get confirmations for Loans from bodies corporate to the extent of Rs. 897 Lakhs lying outstanding as on 31st March 2023.

Hence, we are unable to comment on the correctness of above figures and if any adjustments are required to the said balances as on 31st March 2023 and related impact on these Standalone Financial Statements.

The impact of above matters (a) to (f) on the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements is presently not ascertainable.

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). 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 Act and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

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 for the year ended 31st March 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone 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 matters described in the basis for qualified opinion section, we have determined the matter described below as Key audit matter and our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

The total inventory of such materials (other than stock in transit) amounts to Rs. 10,849 Lakhs as on 31st March 2023 (Refer Note 12 of Standalone Financial Statements).

4. Tested on a sample basis the accuracy of cost for inventory and testing the net realizable value by comparing actual cost with the latest available contracts for similar products.

Other Information

The Companys Board of Directors is 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 auditors report thereon. 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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. Those Board of Directors are 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 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 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 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 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 Standalone 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.
