Auditor Report of Facor Alloys Ltd.

Mar 31, 2024

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of FACOR ALLOYS LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), Statement of changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 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 (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2024, and total comprehensive income (comprising loss and other comprehensive income), the profit, changes in equity and its cash flows and for the year then ended on that date.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA’s”) 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 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 (ICAI) 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 thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 33(A)(d) of the standalone annual financial statements, which states that the company had entered into long term conversion agreement with M/s Tata Steel Mining Ltd (TSML), a wholly owned subsidiary of M/s Tata Steel Ltd (TsL) on 22-03-2021. Consequent to the merger of TSML into TsL on 08-08-2023, agreement was modified in the name of M/s TSL w.e.f. 01-09-2023. In respect of the said agreement, TSL has raised the dispute over shortage of 9885 MT of TSL’s raw material laying at the company’s premises amounting to INR 31.15 Crores. The company has also raised its objection on quantum of shortage of material as well as valuation and insisted TSL to initiate joint reconciliation of raw material since the inception of agreement as it was never done during the tenure of the agreement. Matter is under discussion at management level to arrive at solution. In respect of above,

the company has not booked any liability in the books of accounts during the current financial year.

We draw attention to Note 48 of the standalone annual financial statements, regarding the dispute raised by RTVNPL over amounting outstanding in the company’s books of accounts. The matter is in the arbitration and management has no doubt regarding recoverability of the outstanding amount. During the current year, the company has not realised any amount from the said debtor. The company has neither created any provision against trade receivable nor booked any liability for the claims raised by the RTVNL on the company.

We draw attention to Note 13.2 of the standalone annual financial statements, which states that the company has given corporate guarantee to the lender of its step-down subsidiary company. On default of repayment of loan by such subsidiary and based on the demand letter raised by the lender dated 17.01.2019, the company has remitted the loan amount to such lender against the corporate guarantee and the amount paid is shown as loans and advances to the subsidiaries in the financial results of the company. During the current year, the company estimated that there is uncertainty regarding recoverability of loan amounting to INR 852.32 Lakhs from such step-down subsidiary company. Hence, the company has booked the lifetime expected credit loss for the same. However, the company has not written off the amount due to pending approvals from regulatory authority.

We draw attention to Note 13.2 of the standalone annual financial statements, which states that the company has not created any deferred tax asset on the on the expected credit loss booked by the company in respect of amount recoverable from Cati Madencilik Ithalat Ve Ihracat. However, the company has recorded the deferred tax asset of INR 1721.67 Lakhs on account of unabsorbed depreciation, business loss and longterm capital loss. The company assessed that it is probable that the future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters. Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements for the financial year ended March 31,2024. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

How Our audit addressed the key audit matter

Pending Arbitration proceedings for pre termination of conversion agreement by the company (as described in note no. 48 to the Standalone Ind AS financial statements) The Company is subject to Arbitration proceedings related to termination of conversion agreement by the company before Hon’ble High Court of Delhi appointed Arbitrator. Claims and counter claims are made by both the parties to arbitration. The assessment of the likelihood and quantum of impact in respect of arbitration can be judgmental due to the uncertainty about the outcome. We identified this as a key audit matter, since the amounts involved are material to the Standalone financial statements and involve a significant degree of management judgment in interpreting the case and it may subject to management bias. These claims and counter claims require management estimates and interpretation of various matters, issues involved and are subjective in nature.

Our audit procedures included and were not limited to the following: • Assessed the management’s conclusions through discussions with the in-house legal expert and external legal opinions obtainedby the Company (where considered necessary) on both, the probability of success in the aforesaid cases, and the magnitude of any potential loss. • Discussed with the management on the development in these litigations during the year ended March 31,2024. • Rolled out of enquiry letters to the Company’s legal counsel and noted the responses received. • Assessed the responses received from Company’s legal counsel by engaging our internal legal experts. • Assessed the objectivity and competence of the Company’s legal counsel involved in the process and legal experts engaged by us. • Assessed and validated the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosure made by the management in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements. • Obtained representation letter from the management on the assessment of these matters.

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

The Company’s 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 auditor’s 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone 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 and those charged with governance for the Standalone 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 Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity 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.

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 implementation and maintenance of 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 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 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 are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 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 Standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 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 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 Standalone 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 Standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF FACOR ALLOYS LIMITED
Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial
Statements of FACOR ALLOYS LIMITED (“the Company”),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2023, and
the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other
comprehensive income), Statement of changes in Equity and
Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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
Companies Act, 2013 (“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 March 31,2023, and total comprehensive
income (comprising loss and other comprehensive income),
the profit, changes in equity and its cash flows and for the
year then ended on that date.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit 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
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 (ICAI) 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 thereunder, and

we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 15.2 of the standalone financial
statement, which emphasises the company to be certain
regarding the recoverability of the loan amount from the Cati
Madencilik Ithalat Ve Ihracat A.S (step down overseas
subsidiary of the company). However, the operation of such a
subsidiary is yet to be commenced.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements for the financial year ended
March 31,2023. 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. For each matter below,
our description of how our audit addressed the matter is
provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have
fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’
responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements section of our report, including in relation to these
matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial
Statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide
the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
Standalone Financial Statements.

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

The Company’s 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 auditor’s 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 the other information is
materially inconsistent with the Standalone 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 and those charged with
governance for the Standalone 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 Standalone financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, changes in equity 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.

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 implementation and
maintenance of 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 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 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 are also responsible for overseeing
the company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone
financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Standalone 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 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 Standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the Standalone 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 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 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 Standalone 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 Standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone
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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

2020 (“the Order”) issued by the Central Government of

ANNEXURE "B" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S 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 FACOR ALLOYS LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Company 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 its business, 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.

Auditor''s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company 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 financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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.

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 internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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 internal financial control over financial reporting includes 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

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 error or 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.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 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.
