BEML LAND ASSETS LTD

Report on the Audit of Standalone Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) Financial Statements

Pursuant to the observations arising from the Audit by the Comptroller & Audit General of India our earlier report dated 25-4-2024 have been revised. The report superseded our earlier Report.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Quarterly /Annual Ind AS Financial Statements of BEML LAND ASSETS LTD ("the Company -BLAL"), which comprise the standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31,2024, Statement of Profit and Loss and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information for the Quarter/Year ended March 31, 2024.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, subject to the significance of the matter discussed in the Emphasis of Matter the aforesaid Ind AS 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 Ind AS prescribed under section 133 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 and its Loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter:

Fair Valuation of Investment Property

We draw attention to Land & Buildings have been carried as Investment property as per Ind AS-40. Cost model has been adopted for valuation of Investment properties under Ind AS 40. The fair value of the property is Rs. 232537 Lakhs as per the report of a certified valuer Dt 22 Oct 2022.

In line with the disclosure requirements under Ind AS-40 Standard and as per the Accounting Policy no 2.2 requires all entities to measure the fair value of investment property for the purpose of disclosure even though they are required to follow the cost model.

The Company has not initiated valuation of assets on Fair Value basis for current period 2023-24. No Fair Value of the Investment asset is disclosed in the Financial Statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified u/s 143 (10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Short term financing from BEML:

Board of Directors of BEML in their 389th meeting held on 24.08.2022 allowed loan/ advance to BEML LAND ASSETS LTD by way of meeting the payment obligations on its behalf and / or to pay to BEML

LAND ASSETS LTD the requested amount for meeting its payment obligations at an interest rate of '1% above BEML's cash credit interest rate charged by SBI' and accept the repayment of said loan from BEML LAND ASSETS LTD along with agreed interest. BEML has further mentioned that whenever the outstanding amount receivable from BEML LAND ASSETS LTD for payment obligations other than statutory payments viz. property tax etc. exceeds Rs. one crore, Board shall be informed in its ensuing meeting.

The above was noted by the Board of BEML Land assets Ltd in its 9th Meeting held on 25-8-2022 to comply with the said financing arrangements & bring to the notice of the Board as & when the outstanding amount exceeds the limit fixed.

Currently the Intercorporate loan balance is within the limit & not exceeding Rs one crore excluding the statutory payment & property tax etc as on 31 March 2024.

Key Audit Matters.

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Ind AS 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 mis-statement of the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.

We draw attention to the following points:

Non-Recognition of Deferred Tax Asset

A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, when an entity has a history of recent losses, the entity recognises a deferred tax asset arising

from unused tax losses or tax credits only to the extent that the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised by the entity.

Since there is no convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable profit will-be available Deferred Tax asset is not recognised in the Financial Statements.

Other Matters:

Non-Compliance with Provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015:

1. As per 2nd proviso to Sec 149(1) of the Companies Act 2013 and Rule 3 of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014, the Company was required to appoint One Woman Director. The Company being a Government Company, appointments of Women or Independent Directors are made based on the Orders issued by the Government of India through the Ministry of Defence. The Company has requested Government of India to issue necessary order for appointment of Woman Independent Director and response from the Government of India is awaited.

2. As per Sec 149 (4) of the Companies Act 2013 read with Regulations 17(1 )(a) and 17(1 )(b) of the SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015, every Listed Public Company, whose Chairperson is an executive Chairperson, shall consist of 50% of the total strength of the Board as Independent Directors/Non-Executive Directors, the aforesaid requirement has not been met by the Company.

3. The Company has not constituted Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Stakeholders Relationship Committee as per Regulation 18, 19 & 20 of SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015 and Sec 177 & 178 of the Companies Act 2013.

4. The Company has not filed Unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarter ended 30.09.2023 within 45 days as per Regulation 33 of SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015.

6. Company has not appointed Whole Time Company Secretary within 6 months of vacancy being created i.e 30.06.2023, due to which Company has not complied with the provisions of Section 203(4) of the Companies Act, 2013 which states that "If the office of any whole-time key managerial personnel is vacated, the resulting vacancy shall be filled-up by the Board at a meeting of the Board within a period of six months from the date of such vacancy."

Further, Company has written letters to Ministry of Defence to take necessary action for the appointment of requisite number of Executive Directors and Independent Directors including woman director on Board for ensuring compliance. Regulation 102 of SEBI (LODR) provides for relaxation of penalty charges if SEBI is satisfied that the non-compliance is caused due to factors affecting a class of entities but being beyond the control of these entities.

Rental Income is not recognised for properties utilized by BEML Ltd.
