AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2026-03 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of THE ANDHRA PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED
("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash
Flows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the accompanying
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 31,2026, the loss and total comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed
the Key Audit Matter

1

Estimation of decommissioning and restoration provisions

The determination and valuation of
provision is highly judgmental by its
nature, as they are calculated based on
assumptions that are impacted by future
activities and the legislative environment
in which the company operates.

Refer Note 2.38 to the Financial
Statements

Our audit procedures to assess the
decommissioning provision included the following:

• We assessed the valuation methodology

• We evaluated the reasonableness of key
assumptions applied by the management to
calculate the provisions.

• We tested the calculation of the provisions.

• We checked the accuracy and relevance of the
input data used.

• We found the disclosures in the financial
statements to be appropriate.

Conclusion: Based on the work performed, we
found management's assessment to be reasonable
based on available evidence.

2

Estimation of Lease liability

Measurement of lease liability for the land
taken on lease from Visakhapatnam Port
Trust (VPT) involves significant
judgement, as they are calculated based
on terms & conditions of the tender floated
by VPT and the financial bid submitted
against the tender, which was later on
cancelled and issued for re-tender. Due
to its vast nature, even small changes in
the terms of the lease agreement can
have a material impact on the estimated
lease liability and right of use asset.

Refer Note 2.42 to the Financial
Statements

Our audit procedures, among others included the
following:

• We obtained an understanding of the terms and
conditions of the VPT's Land renewal lease policy
"e-Tender cum e-Auction" to evaluate the
appropriateness of key assumptions applied.

• We have gone through the order from Hon'ble
High Court of Andhra Pradesh allowing the writ
petition filed by the company against the
cancellation of tender for land lease dated
16.08.2020 and supporting evidence of lease
rental payments to evaluate the reasonableness
of the managements' judgment that the lease
will be allotted to the APL.

• We assessed the methodology adopted and
assumptions used by management, including
reasonableness of the discounted cash flows
and discount rate applied.

• We found the disclosures in the financial
statements to be appropriate.

Conclusion: Based on the work performed, we
found management's estimation to be reasonable
based on available evidence.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report
including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder's Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or
our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's 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 responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's 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 financial controls 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 system 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 management's 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's 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 auditor's 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.
