To the Members of McNally Bharat Engineering Company Limited Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Adverse Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of McNally Bharat Engineering Company Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2024, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âStandalone Financial Statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements do not give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) in the manner so required and also does not 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 31st March, 2024, its loss including Other Comprehensive Income, its changes in equity and Statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Adverse Opinion
a) Current Assets, Current Liabilities and Capital Work - in - Progress
i. We draw attention to Note 44 to the Standalone Financial Statements regarding Trade Receivables, Advance to Suppliers, Trade Payables, Other Financial Assets and Advance from Customer being subject to confirmation and reconciliation from respective parties and consequential reconciliation, outcomes of pending arbitration/ settlements of claims and adjustments arising therefrom, if any. Adjustments/ Impacts with respect to these are currently not ascertainable and as such cannot be commented upon by us.
ii. We draw attention to Note 6(d) to the Standalone Financial Statements, Claims Recoverable (BG Encashed) amounting to Rs. 36,183.70 Lakhs, including Rs. 11,677.58 Lakhs under arbitration whose fair value is Rs. 21,454.57 Lakhs are doubtful. Recoverability/Adjustments/ Impacts with respect to these are currently not ascertainable and as such cannot be commented upon by us.
iii. There is no material movement in Capital Work-in-Progress amounting to Rs. 462.62 Lakhs, since 31st March, 2016. In absence of any audit evidence, we are unable to ascertain the impact or adjustments required and comment on the same.
b) Non-adjustment of the Carrying Value of Loan
In earlier years, the Company had given unsecured loan to Vedica Sanjeevani Projects Private Limited (âVSPLâ). VSPL vide their letter dated 15th February, 2022 informed the Company that it was unable to service the debt and requested the Company for a moratorium on the repayment of the loan, including interest for two years i.e., Financial Year 2021-22 and Financial Year 2022-23. Subsequently, the Company has stopped recognizing interest income on the same. In absence of any further communication between the Company and VSPL made available to us, we are unable to comment on the realizability of loan and its interest and consequential adjustment to be made in the books.
This constitutes a material departure from the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard - 109 âFinancial Instrumentâ.
c) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets
Note 7 to the Standalone Financial Statements mentions that the Company had recognized deferred tax assets of Rs. 51,706.60 lakhs up to 31st March, 2018, which is being carried forward in the books by the Company expecting adequate future taxable profits after infusion of fresh funds in the Company by the successful Resolution Applicant against which such deferred tax assets would be adjusted.
The Company has been continually incurring losses and its net worth has been fully eroded. We are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence with respect to the management''s assertions and are therefore, unable to comment on the carrying value of the aforesaid net deferred tax assets on 31st March, 2024.
This constitutes a material departure from the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard 12 âIncome Taxesâ.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The Company has reported a net loss in the current year amounting to Rs. 88,326.28 Lakhs (previous year Rs 2,47,120.74 Lakhs) before comprehensive income and is unable to meet its financial commitments/covenants to lenders and various other stakeholders. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon many factors including continued support from the financial creditors, operational creditors, customers and the successful implementation of the resolution plan as approved by the Honâble National Company Law Tribunal. These events and conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern.
However, we could not gather sufficient evidence with respect to the managementâs assertion and in the absence of required documents/evidence are unable to comment on the preparation of the Statement.
Emphasis of Matters
a) Approval of Resolution Plan by the Committee of Creditors/ NCLT
Note 40 to the Statement informs that the Honâble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Kolkata Bench admitted the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the Company and appointed Mr. Ravi Sethia (IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P01305/2018- 2019/12052) as the Resolution Professional (RP). The RP received Resolution Plans from 4 applicants. Out of the 4, the Resolution Plan of one of the applicants received approval from the Committee of Creditors by the requisite majority and thereafter the RP submitted the application before the Honâble NCLT on 3rd August 2023 for its final approval. On the 19th December 2023, Honâble NCLT pronounced its order in favor of one of the successful Resolution Applicants i.e. BTL EPC Limited. Pursuant to the approval of the Plan by the Honâble NCLT, the Implementation and Monitoring Committee (âIMCâ) is duly constituted on 19th December 2023 as per the terms of the plan to oversee the implementation. However, the effect of the order on the financial statements of the Company shall be done only after fulfilling the condition as per the NCLT order and the resolution plan submitted by the Resolution Applicant.
b) Non-Assessment of Pending Litigations
Note 42 to the Standalone Financial Statements refers to the Companyâs receipt of regulatory Enquiries/ Notices/ Summons/ Show-Cause/ Demand/ Orders from various government authorities such as departments of Goods and Services Tax, Income Tax, etc. In view of Companyâs admission under CIRP, all existing civil / legal proceedings will be kept in abeyance as moratorium is in force under section 14 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 till the conclusion of CIRP. Therefore, no impact has been considered in the Standalone Financial Statements as of now.
c) Recognition of Interest Expense
As referred to in Note 43 of the Statement, the Company has recognized interest expense for the year ended 31st March, 2024 on Bank Borrowings, Inter Corporate Deposits, and claim of EIG (Mauritius) Limited under the head ''Finance Costsâ amounting to Rs. 73,333.91 Lakhs as estimated by the management.
d) Recognition of interest on outstanding balances of MSME vendors
The company has not provided us with the appropriate audit evidence relating to the identification of balances of MSME parties on which the interest is recognised.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements is not modified in respect of these matters.
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 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 Adverse Opinion section and Emphasis of Matters section of our report, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our Report.

Estimated Cost to complete the Project / Revenue Recognition: (Refer note 1(d) to the Standalone Financial Statements) The Company recognizes revenue under the percentage of completion method as specified under Indian Accounting Standard 115 "Revenue from Contract with Customersâ. Recognition of revenue requires estimation of total contract cost which comprises of the actual cost incurred till date and estimated cost further to be incurred to complete the projects. Estimation of the cost to complete involves the exercise of significant judgment by management including assessment of technical data and hence identified as a Key Audit Matter. |
Our audit approach was a combination of test of internal controls and substantive procedures which includes the following: 1. Tested the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of the controls surrounding the determination and approval of estimated cost. 2. Verified the contracts with customers on a check basis including the actual cost incurred and terms and conditions related to the variation of the cost. 3. Discussed with the project management teams for certain selected projects to assess the reasonableness of the estimated cost to be incurred for completing the respective projects. 4. Obtained and relied on the Management Certificate for supporting the accuracy of the estimate of the total cost of the project for selected contracts on test check basis. |

Provisions and Contingent Liabilities (Refer note 1(u), 40 and 42 to the Standalone Financial Statements) Prior to the approval of the Resolution Plan, the Company was involved in various tax and other disputes which could potentially result in significant liabilities. Pursuant to the approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT, it was determined that no amounts are payable in respect of those litigations as they stand extinguished. The extinguishment of these liabilities depend upon the successful implementation of the Resolution plan. The estimates related to exact outcome of litigations and its possible impact on the financials in respect thereof have high degree of inherent uncertainty due to insufficient judicial precedents in India in respect of disposal of litigations involving companies admitted to Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. |
We have performed the following procedures to test the recoverability of payments made by the Company in relation to litigations instituted against it prior to the approval of the Resolution Plan: 1. Verified the underlying documents related to litigations and other correspondences with the statutory authorities. 2. Reviewed the provisions of the Order passed by the NCLT to understand the requirements of the said order and evaluated the possible impact. 3. Evaluated whether the accounting principles applied by the management fairly present the amounts recoverable from relevant authorities in financial statements in accordance with the principles of Ind AS. 4. Discussed with the management on the development in these litigations during the year ended 31st March, 2024. 5. Obtained representation letter from the management on the assessment of those matters as per SA 580 (revised) - written representations. |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon (âOther Information'')
In view of ongoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), the management under Monitoring Committee is responsible for the preparation of the Other Information. The Other Information comprises of the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including Annexures thereto, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our Auditorâs Report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
After reading the Other Information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Honâble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Kolkata Bench admitted the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the Company and appointed Mr. Ravi Sethia (IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P01305/2018- 2019/12052) as the Resolution Professional (RP). The RP received Resolution Plans from 4 applicants. Out of the 4, the Resolution Plan of one of the applicants received approval from the Committee of Creditors by the requisite majority and thereafter the RP submitted the application before the Honâble NCLT on 3rd August 2023 for its final approval. On the 19th December 2023, Honâble NCLT pronounced its order in favor of one of the successful Resolution Applicants i.e. BTL EPC Limited. Pursuant to the approval of the Plan by the Honâble NCLT, the Implementation and Monitoring Committee (âIMCâ) is duly constituted on 19th December 2023 as per the terms of the plan to oversee the implementation.
However, until the implementation of the Resolution Plan submitted by the Successful Resolution Applicant as per the conditions set out in the NCLT order, the management under the Monitoring Committee is responsible for the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including total comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed 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 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 Standalone Financial Statements, the management under the Monitoring Committee is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The management under the Monitoring Committee is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibility 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 Auditorâs 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 skepticism 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 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 the management under the Monitoring Committee.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management under the Monitoring Committee''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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditorâs 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 Auditorâs Report.
⢠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 the aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Auditorâs 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.

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ''Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements'' of our report of even date)
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 McNally Bharat Engineering Company Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS
The Company''s management 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, including adherence to 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
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 Act, 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 qualified 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.
BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, material weakness has been identified in the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31, 2018 relating to compliance with laws and regulations did not operate effectively which resulted in payment of excess managerial remuneration without complying the requirements of Section 197(3) read with Schedule V to the Act.
A ''material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
QUALIFIED OPINION
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the material weakness described in Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of 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.
We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018, and the material weakness does affect our opinion on the said standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company.
