Auditor’s Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.

4. 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.

5. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these standalone financial statements are free from material misstatement.

6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company’s preparation of the 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 Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

7. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on these standalone financial statements.

Opinion

8. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at 31 March 2018, and its loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matters

9. We draw attention to;

a) Note 3.1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describe the significant estimates and assumptions, including extension of the concession period, used by the management for determining recoverable amount of cogeneration power plants classified under property, plant and equipment and capital work-in-progress aggregating to Rs. 9,679.00 lacs and Rs. 18,027.12 lacs respectively as at 31 March 2018, with respect to the impairment assessment in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets. Basis this valuation the management believes that no adjustment is required to the carrying value of the aforesaid cogeneration power plants.

b) Note 7.1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, with respect to unbilled revenue relating to certain contracts which are still in progress aggregating to Rs. 8,381.36 lacs, recognised in the earlier years. Based on ongoing discussions/ negotiations with the customers, management believes that these amounts are completely billable.

c) Note 39 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes the uncertainty relating to the outcome of litigation pertaining to income tax matters pursuant to orders received by the Company against which management and the assessing authorities have filed appeals with relevant Income Tax Authorities. The final outcome of these matters is presently unascertainable.

d) Note 21.1 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes the uncertainty relating to utilisation of input tax credit and levy of interest on service tax. Based on the terms of the contract with the customers/ vendors and independent legal opinion, management believes that these amounts are recoverable from the customer including interest thereon and that the Company will be able to avail the input tax credit for aforementioned matter.

e) Note 5.2 to the accompanying standalone financial statements regarding the Company’s non-current investment in its subsidiary company, and its other current financial assets (net of impairment) and its current financial assets-loan which include amounts dues from such subsidiary company as on that date aggregating Rs. 20,151.90 lacs, Rs. 410.73 lacs and Rs. 592.85 lacs, respectively. The consolidated net worth of the aforesaid subsidiary company as at 31 March 2018 has been fully eroded and has been incurring losses. Based on the future business plans and projections of the subsidiary company at consolidated level, which have been developed by the management using certain assumptions and estimates, as described in the aforementioned note, management believes that the realizable amount is higher than the carrying amount of such non-current investment, other current financial assets (net of impairment) and current financial assets -loan and hence fully recoverable.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matters.

Other Matters

10. We did not audit the separate financial statements of three branches located outside India, included in the accompanying statement of standalone financial statement, whose financial statements reflects total revenues (after eliminating intra-group transactions) of Rs. 7,609.44 lacs and net profit after tax of Rs. 84.54 lacs for the year ended 31 March 2018 and total assets of Rs. 5,415.20 lacs as at 31 March 2018, as considered in these standalone financial statements.

Our opinion in so far it relates to the amounts and disclosure in respect of these branches is solely based on report of the other auditors and the conversion adjustment prepared by the management of the Company, which have been audited by us. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Annexure II

Independent Auditor’s Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)

1. In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of A2Z Infra Engineering Limited (‘the Company’) as at and for the year ended 31 March 2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (‘IFCoFR’) of the Company as at that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

2. The Company’s Board of Directors 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’. 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 the Company’s business, including adherence to the Company’s 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 Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (‘the Guidance Note’) issued by the ICAI. 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 IFCoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR includes obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, 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 auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s IFCoFR.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

6. A company’s IFCoFR 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 company’s IFCoFR include 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 company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

7. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, 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 IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that the IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such controls 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’.
