We were engaged to audit the accompanying financial statements of Indosolar Limited, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to accounts, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as "Financial Statements").
We do not express an opinion on the Financial Statements. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
1. Inventory records were not provided to us for checking. These were not physically verified by us.
Accordingly, we were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at March 31, 2022 and valuation thereof.
2. Gross block and net block of fixed assets as per books are inconsistent with data provided in Fixed Asset register. As a result of this, we are unable to verify the written down value of fixed assets sold during the year and resultant Profit/Loss.
There is a difference of Rs. 283.80 lakh in net fixed assets in the audited balance sheet for the year ended 31st March 2018 and books of accounts produced before us.
3. We were unable to confirm or verify balances of accounts payables included in the Balance Sheet of total amount of Rs. 8,606.58 lakh respectively as at March 31, 2022.
4. Due to non - availability of certificates against Fixed Deposit in Union Bank of India, we were unable to confirm the Fixed Deposit balance with the balance appearing in the books of accounts. As per Books of accounts balance of Fixed Deposit with Union bank of India was Rs. 427.86 Lakh.
5. There was a mismatch in the balance of Security Deposit with Noida Power Company Limited appearing in Books of accounts with that of electricity bill made available to us. As per books balance was Rs. 103.17 Lakh and as per bill Rs. 104.44 lakh.
6. Interest on borrowing in respect of facilities from Corporation bank, Union bank of India and Bank of Baroda has not been booked in the books of account as the company was under moratorium period upto March, 2022. Being the company was under CIRP there is difference in total interest/ penal interest / expenses / other charges of approximately Rs. 1,01,028.27 lakh which pertain to this year or earlier years between claims admitted by Resolution Professional and balances in books as on 16.04.2019. Subsequent to the year-end, on April 21, 2022, the NCLT has approved the terms of the Resolution Plan submitted by Waaree Energies Limited ("Waaree"), which provides, inter alia, the acquisition of the Company by Waaree. The impact of the same has not been taken during the year.
7. 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, 2022 the Company's NFE is positive by Rs. 17,693.23 lakh without considering the import value of amortization of Line-C. However, after amortisation of value of line C NFE becomes negative by Rs 31,213.21 lakh. The company is not able to achieve positive NFE 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 assess upon the possible impact if any on the accompanying statement.
8. In the matter of Company's claim for eligibility of capital subsidy of Rs. 300 Crores under SIP scheme of Govt. of India. The uncertainty exists with regard to its quantum and receipt of claim pending its appraisal by Department of Electronics & Information Technology (DEIT). In the absence of the reasonable assurance, the management has not recognized the claim.
9. Company was under CIRP as explained in Note 34 of Notes to the Financial Statements. Subsequent to the year-end, on April 21, 2022, the NCLT has approved the terms of the Resolution Plan submitted by Waaree Energies Limited ("Waaree"), which provides, inter alia, the acquisition of the Company by Waaree.
The Board of Directors of the Company has been reconstituted on May 18, 2022 with nominees of Waaree being inducted as member of the Board.
10. The Non-adherence of IND-AS as explained in Note 42 of Notes to the Financial Statements.
11. Referring to the approved Resolution plan by the NCLT order dated 21st April, 2022. "Upon approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT, all non-compliances, breaches and defaults of Indosolar for the period prior to the Effective Date (including but not limited to those relating to tax), shall be deemed to be waived by the concerned Governmental Authorities. Immunity shall be deemed to have been granted to Indosolar from all proceedings and penalties under all Applicable Laws for any non-compliance for the period prior to the Effective Date and no interest/penal implications shall arise due to such non-compliance /default/breach prior to the Effective Date or even accruing after the Effective Date, but arising out of matters or actions arising prior to the Effective Date".
The approval of the Resolution Plan subsequent to 31 March 2022 has been considered as a non-adjusting event for the purpose of financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. Pursuant to such approval of the Resolution Plan, the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 have been prepared on a going concern basis. As required by Ind AS 10, 'Events after Balance Sheet date', the possible financial effects of this non-adjusting event has been mentioned under Note 34.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters:
1. Note No 10 of the financial statements regarding inventories. Closing stock of stores, spares and other consumables has been taken as NIL.
2. Note 34 regarding verification and admission of claim by RP. As per the IBC code the RP has to receive, collate and reconcile all the claims submitted by the creditors of the company. The RP has verified and admitted the claims submitted by the creditors against the company as per the Code.
Accounting impact in the books of accounts has not been made in respect to excess, short or non-receipts of claim or liabilities for financial and operational creditor as the Resolution plan has been approved during the subsequent year on 21st April, 2022.
3. As per "Indian Accounting Standard 36", "Impairment of Asset", if the carrying amount of the asset is more than recoverable amount then asset need to be impaired and as per "Indian Accounting Standard 109" on financial assets through expected credit loss method basis these provisions we were required to seek for any impairment obligations from management, since the Company was under the process CIRP the management determined value in use as on 31st March 2022 by taking valuation report of April 2019 and taking depreciation for the intervening period thus the property, plant & equipment has been impaired by Rs.10,747.88 Lakh during the year.
Non-Recoverable security deposits and balances with government authorities by Rs. 11.48 Lakh and Rs. 46.57 Lakh respectively. Provision for doubtful debts has been created by Rs. 100.92 Lakh against advances to suppliers, Capital Advance and trade receivables.
4. Note 34 and Note 43(a)(i) of the financial statements regarding approval of resolution plan by the NCLT on 21st April 2022 consequently, preparation of financial statements as on 31st March, 2022 on going concern basis.
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 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.
Except for the matters described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion and Material uncertainty related to going concern, we could not determine whether there are other key audit matters or not to be communicate in our report.
Information other than financial statements and Auditor's Report thereon
The Management of the company is responsible for the preparation of the other information. We have not obtained the other information comprises of the Financial or non-financial information (other than financial statements and the auditor's report thereon) included in an entity's annual report.
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 on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management and Those Charged with Governance's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Management of the company is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act 2013 ("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 and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2015.
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 for ensuring 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 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing 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 Standards on Auditing, 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 explaining 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.
