We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of G.R. CABLES LIMITED (“the
Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit
and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity 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 financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013,
as amended (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 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
March 31,2024, and its loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that
date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing,
as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements under the provisions of
the Act and the Rules made thereunder, 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw your attention to the financial statements regarding the implementation of
reconstruction of G.R. CABLES LIMITED and its consequential impacts as detailed in the notes
to accounts. As specified in the scheme of reconstruction approved by NCLT, it has been
accounted where liabilities have been recorded written off to the extent mentioned in the
scheme along with other outstanding liabilities, capital balances and reserves etc. are adjusted
to CIRP Adjustment Account which amounts 1425.90 lakhs The CIRP Adjustment amount so
recognized in the books on account of this reconstruction is not written off in the Financial Year
2023-24.
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 Report of the Board of Directors
including Annexures thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and Business
Responsibility Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
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 such other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, 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 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 Financial Statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity 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 of 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 the 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 statement 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.
Those Board of Directors of the Company is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s
financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibility 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 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 control 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 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 significant 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.
