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 Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures
to Board’s Report, Corporate Governance and Business Responsibility Report, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report,
Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor’s report, hence our opinion is based on Financial Statements only.

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. When we read Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including

Annexures to Board’s Report, Corporate Governance and Business Responsibility Report, if we
conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to
those charged with governance.

Management’s Responsibility for the financial statements

The Company’s Management and 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 Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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 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 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.

a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our
knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

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, 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.

Sr. No.	Key Audit Matter	How the matter was addressed in the audit
1. 2.	Contingent Liability The Company is involved in direct and indirect tax litigations of Rs. 708.85Lakhs. The Company has also provided corporate guarantee of Rs. 5,000 Lakhs to the Bankers for Harvesting and Transportation Loan. Whether the liability is recognized or disclosed as a contingent liability is inherently judgmental and dependent on assumptions and assessment. We placed specific focus on the judgements in respect to these demands against the Company. Determining the amount, if any, to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements, is inherently subjective. Therefore, it is considered to be a key audit matter. (Refer Note D (1) to Financial Statements Valuation of Sugar Inventory Manufacturing of Sugar is complex process which leads to generation of certain joint products and by products which are used for generation of other products, sold in the market as well as used as input in the manufacturing of Sugar. The valuation requires use of management’s judgements and assumptions regarding elimination of inter-divisional profits, allocation of costs of production between joint products based on their relative sales value and net realisable value (NRV) of different products which is further dependent upon the market conditions, minimum selling prices, subsequent inventory sale data, current sale prices, notifications/press releases from the government authorities, technical estimates of expected recovery of final products being produced and incremental cost of products manufactured using joint products.

We assessed the adequacy of the method used, relevance and reliability of data and the formula applied for determining the cost of sugar inventory. This included the basis of allocation of cost to byproducts based on Net Realizable Value (NRV).

“Annexure - B” to the Independant Auditors’ Report

(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section 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 The Ugar Sugar Works Limited (“the Company”) as of 31^st March, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the 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 (the “Guidance Note”) 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 the company has, in all material aspects, an adequate financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018 except that there is scope for improvement in certain areas which require strengthening of controls 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 these weaknesses identified in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31, 2018 standalone financial statements of the Company, and these weaknesses do not affect our opinion on the financial statements of the company.

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

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.

Disputed Liability in respect of Cane Price for the Season 2013-14

We draw the attention of the members to Note No. D-2 of Notes to Financial Statements regarding disputed differential liability in respect of Cane Price amounting to Rs. 4,657.94 lakh for Ugar Unit and Jewargi Unit. The Government of Karnataka had notified cane price for the season 2013 14 @ Rs. 2,500 per MT, ex field, for sugar factories in Northern Karnataka, which is more than that actually paid / provided for by the Company; and @ Rs. 2,500 per MT, ex-gate, for sugar factories in Southern Karnataka.

As explained to us, having regard to prevalent declining sugar prices, the sugar factories have filed appeal with the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka, through their Association, against the declaration of the State Government and decision of the Single Judge of the Hon'ble High Court ruling in favour of the State Government.

Further in case of Jewargi Unit, currently considered as Northern Karnataka and cane price being declared on ex-field basis, petition has been filed with Hon'ble High Court to consider it as a factory in Southern Karnataka for paying cane price on ex-gate basis.

The ultimate outcome of the above matters cannot presently be determined and the matters being sub judice, provision for any liability that may arise in this respect, will be made on final resolution of the issue.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2014 the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company''s Management is responsible for the preparation of these 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 Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.

Auditors'' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. 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 the internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the 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:

a. in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2014;

b. in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the Company for the year ended on that date, and

c. in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw the attention of the members to Note No. C (2) of Notes to Financial Statements, regarding disputed differential liability in respect of Cane Price amounting to Rs. 9,036.41 lakh. The Government of Karnataka has notified cane price for the season 2013-14 @ Rs. 2,500 per MT, ex-field, for sugar factories in Northern Karnataka, which is more than that actually paid by the Company. As explained to us, it is not viable to pay the notified rate, having regard to ruling sugar prices, and the sugar factories have filed petition with the High Court of Karnataka, through their Association, against the decision of the Government. The Company has been advised that it has a strong case in its favour. The ultimate outcome of the matter cannot presently be determined and the matter being sub-judice, provision for any liability that may arise in this respect, is not considered necessary.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 ("the Order") issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Act, we give in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.

2. As required by Section 227(3) of the Act, we report that:

a. We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

d. In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss, and the Cash Flow Statement comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Act.

e. On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on 31st March, 2014 taken on record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on 31st March, 2014 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Act.

Since the Central Government has not issued any notification as to the rate at which the cess is to be paid under section of 441A of the Companies Act, 1956, nor has it issued any Rules under the said section, prescribing the manner in which the cess is to be paid, no cess is due and payable by the Company.
