INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S LIMITED REVIEW REPORT

To The Board of Directors. Aegis Logistics Limited

    1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial Results (the "Statement") of Aegis Logistics Limited ("the Company") for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December 2020 being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("the Regulations") as amended from time to time.
    1. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 28th January 2021, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a Report on the Statement based on
    1. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE 2410) 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified u/s. 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

  1. Based on our review conducted as stated in paragraph 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the Regulations, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed or that it contains any material misstatement.

STATEMENT OF UNAUDITED STANDALONE FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

NOTES:

  • 1 The above Standalone Financial Results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on January 28, 2021.
  • 2 Other expenditure includes the provision of commission Rs.300 lakhs and Rs.900 lakhs for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2020 respectively to the Managing Directors which is dependent upon the net profit determinable u/s 198 of the Companies Act, 2013 at the year end.
  • 3 Consequent to the said allotment, the total paid up equity share capital of the Company has increased to Rs.345,333,334/- (Rupees Thirty four crore fifty three lakh thirty three thousand three hundred and thirty four). During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company has allotted 5,666,667 equity shares of the face value of Re. 1/- each to the eligible employees upon exercise as per the stock purchase plan by them.
  • 4 During the period under review, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) Delhi has issued an order inter alia demanding Rs. 142 crore for alleged air pollution in some villages of Mumbai. The Company has filed Appeal before the Supreme Court, against the said order citing the various reports prepared by reputed experts such as Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) which inter alia state that Company's facility does not cause Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions beyond permissible limits. The Supreme court has passed an order admitting the Appeal and has directed a stay on the NGT's order. The Company is hopeful of succeeding in the aforesaid case and does not expect any significant liability arising from the same. Hence, no provision is made in these results.
  • 5 The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code') relating to employee benefits during employment and post-employment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India. However, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective.
