INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ANDHRA PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED, TANUKU

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of THE ANDHRA PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2019, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the accompanying 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 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, 2019, the profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

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, 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.

1 Adoption of Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"
Accuracy of recognition,
measurement, presentation and
disclosures of revenues and other
related balances in view of
adoption of Ind AS 115 "Revenue
from Contracts with
Customers" (new revenue
accounting standard)
The application of the above new
We assessed the various Company's process,
contracts entered with various customers to
identify the impact of adoption of the new
revenue accounting standard.
Our audit approach consisted testing of the
design and operating effectiveness of the
internal controls and substantive testing as
follows:
revenue accounting standard
involves certain key judgements
relating to identification of
distinct performance obligations
in the contract, determination of
transaction price of the identified
performance obligations, the
appropriateness of the basis used
to measure revenue recognized
over a period. Additionally, new
revenue accounting standard
contains disclosures which
involves collation of information
in respect of disaggregated
revenue and periods over which
the remaining performance
obligations will be satisfied
subsequent to the balance sheet
date.
Refer Note 2.24 to the Financial
Statements
• Evaluated the design of internal controls
relating to implementation of the new
revenue accounting standard.
• Selected a sample of continuing and new
contracts, and tested the operating
effectiveness of the internal controls relating
to identification of the distinct performance
obligations and determination of transaction
price. We carried out a combination of
procedures involving enquiry and
observation, re-performance and inspection
of evidence in respect of operation of these
controls.
• Compared these performance obligations
with that identified and recorded by the
Company.
• Considered the terms of the contracts to
determine the transaction price including
any variable consideration to verify the
transaction price used to compute revenue
and to test the basis of estimation of the
variable consideration.
• Performed analytical procedures for
reasonableness of revenues disclosed by
type and service offerings.
We reviewed the collation of information and
the logic of the report generated from the
budgeting system used to prepare the
disclosure relating to the periods over which
the remaining performance obligations will be
satisfied subsequent to the balance sheet date

The other information com prises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board 's Repo rt including Annexu res to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Sha rehol de r's Information, but does not include the fina ncial statemen ts and ou r auditor's report thereon.

Ou r opinion on the fina ncial statemen ts d oes not cover the other informa tion and we do not express any form of assurance conclus ion the reon.

In connection with o ur audit of the financial sta tements, our responsibility is to read the other information an d, in doing so, conside r whether the o ther info rmation is materially incons isten t with the financial sta teme nts or our knowledge obtai ned d uri ng the cou rse 01 our a ud it or otherwise a ppea rs to be materially misstated .

If, based on the work we have perform ed, we conclu de tha t the re is a material misstatement of this "othe r informati on" , we are req uired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in th is rega rd .

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Co mpa ny's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the prepa ration of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, fina ncial pe rformance, total comp rehensive income, changes in equ ity and cas h flows of the Company in acco rdance with the lnd AS a nd other accounting principles generally acce pted in Ind ia. This respons ibility also incl udes maintenance of adequate acco unting reco rd s in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company an d for preventing and detecting fra uds and o ther irregularities; selection and application of appropria te accounting policies; making jud gments and estimates tha t are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequa te interna l fina ncia l controls, that were ope rating effectively for ensu ring theaccu racy an d completeness o f the accounting records, relevant to the preparati on and presentation of

the financia l statements that give a tr ue and fair view and a re free from ma terial misstatement, whether du e to fraud or erro r.

In preparing the financial statements, ma na gement is responsi ble for assessing the Compa ny's ability to con tinue as a going concern, d isclos ing. as applicable, matters related to going conce rn and usi ng the go ing concern basis of accounting unless mana gement either intends to liquidate the Com pa ny or to cease o pe rations, or has no realistic a lternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial re porting process.

Aud itor's Responsi bilities for the Audi t of the Financi al Sta tements

Our objectives are to ob tain reaso na ble ass urance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whe the r d ue to fraud or error, and to issue an aud itor's re port that incl udes our opinion. Rea sonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a gua rantee that an au d it cond uc ted in accordance with SAs will alw ays detect a materi al missta tement when it ex ists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error an d a re considered material if, ind ivid ualJy or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these fma ncia l sta tements.

As part of an audit in accordance w ith SAs, we exercise professional jud gment and ma in tain professiona l skepticism throu ghout the aud it. We also:

  • Iden tify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the fina nc ial sta tements, whether d ue to fraud or error, design and pe rform a udit procedu res responsive to those risks, and obtain a ud it evidence that is sufficient and a pprop riate to provide .l basis for our op inion. The ris k of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from frau d is h igher tha n for one resulting from error, as fraud ma y involve co llusion, forgery, in tentional om issions, misrepresentations, or the ov erride of in ternal contro l.
  • Obta in an understanding o f interna l finan cial controls releva nt to the au d it in order to design audit procedu res that are appropriate in the circu msta nces. Unde r section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we a re also responsible for ex pressing our opin ion on whe ther the Compa ny has ad equa te internal financial controls system in place an d the ope rating effectiveness of such contro ls.
  • Evalua te the a ppropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related d isclosu res mad e by mana gem ent.
  • Conc lude on the appro pria teness of management's use of the go ing conce rn basis of accounting and, based on the a ud it evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to even ts or cond itions that may cast significant doubt o n the Co mpa ny's ab ility to continue as a go ing concern . If we con clude that a material uncertainty ex ists, we are req uired to d raw attention in our audi tor's report to the related d isclos ures in the financial statements or, if such d isclosures are inadequate. to modify our o pinion. Our co nclusions are based on the audit evide nce ob tained up to the d ate o f our au ditor's report. However. future events or cond itions may ca use the Compa ny to cease to continue as a goi ng concern.

• Evaluate the overall p resenta tion, structu re and content of the financi al statements. including the d isclos ures, and whether the financial statements represen t the underly ing transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation .

Mate riality is the magnitude of misstate ments in the financial statements that, ind ividually or in aggrega te, ma kes it probable tha t the econom ic decisions of a reasonably know ledgeable user of the financia l sta teme nts may be influenced. We conside r quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit wo rk an d in evalua ting the resul ts of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the e ffect of an y iden tified misstatemen ts in the financia l statemen ts. '

We communicate with those charged with governa nce regarding, am ong other matters, the planned scope and timin g of the a udit and significant aud it find ings, includ ing any significan t deficiencies in internal control tha t we ide ntify d u ring our a ud it.

We also provide those charged with governance with a stateme nt that we have complied with relevant ethical req uiremen ts rega rding independence, and to commu nicate with them all relations hips and other matters that may reasona bly be thought to bea r on our independence, and where applicab le, related safegua rd s.

From the matters communicated with those charged with govern ance, we determine those matters that we re of most significance in the aud it of the financial statemen ts of the curren t pe riod and are therefore the key a udi t ma tters.

Annexure "8" to th e Independent Auditors' Report

Report on th e In ternal Financia l Controls over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub. sectio n 3 of Sertion 143 of th e Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have aud ited the interna l finan cial controls over financial reporting of T HE ANDHRA PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED ("the Company ") as of 31" March 2019 in conjunction with our au dit of the finan cial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsib ility for Interna l Financial Co ntrols

11,e Board of d irectors of the comp<my is responsi ble for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the interna l contro l ove r financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal contro l stated in the Guidan...-e Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Cha rtered Accountants of Ind ia ('ICAl'). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and ma intenance of adequa te internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the or derly an d efficient cond uct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safegua rd ing 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 Respons ibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financia l controls over financial reporting of the company based on ou r audi t. We cond ucted our aud it in acco rda nce with the Guid ance Note on Aud it of Internal Financial Contro ls over Financial Reporting (tho "Guidance Note") issued by ICAI and the Sta ndards on Audi ting prescribed un der section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an aud it of inte rnal financial controls. Those Standar ds and the Guidance Note require that we com ply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audi t to obtain reasonable ass urance about whether adequate internal financia l controls over financial reporting was established and ma intai ned and if such contro ls opera ted effectively in all material respects.

Ou r aud it involves pe rforming procedures to obtain audit ev idence 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 understandi ng of inte rnal financial controls ove r financial reporting. assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and eva luating the des ign and operating effectiveness of internal contro l based on the assessed risk. The proced ures selected depend on the aud itor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material missta temen t of the financial statements, whether d ue to fraud or erro r.

We believe that the aud it evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Com pany's inte rnal financial controls system ove r financial reporting. .

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial co ntro l over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasona ble assurance regarding the reliability of financial reportin g and the preparation of Ind AS financial state ments for ex ternal p urposes in accordance with generally accepted accou nting principles. A company's interna l financial control ove r financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

(1) pe rtain to the maintenance of records that. in reasonable detail. accura tely and fairly reflectthe tra nsa ctions an d dispositions of theassets of the company;

(2) provide reasonab le ass urance that transactions are recorded as necessa ry to permit preparation of Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accountin g principles. and that receipts and expend itures of the company are be ing made only in accordance with a uthorisations of managemen t a nd d irectors of the compa ny: and

(3) provide reaso nable assurance regard ing preventi on or timely detection of unauthorised acq uisition. use, or d isposition of the com pany's assets that could have a mate rial effect on the financial statementss.

Inheren t Umitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal finan cial controls ove r financial reporting. including the possi bility of collusion or imprope r management override of control s. material missta temen ts due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also. projections of dny evaluation of the inte rna l financia l controls ove r financia l reporting to futu re periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control ove r financial reporting may become inadeq uate because of changes in cond itions. or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion. to the best of our information and accord ing to theexplana tions given to us, the Company has. in a ll ma terial respects, an adequate interna l financial controls system over financial reporting and such inte rna l financia l controls over fina ncia l repo rting were operating effective ly as at 31 Ma rch 2019, based on the internal contro l over financial reportin g crite ria established by the Company co nsidering the essential com ponen ts of interna l contro l sta ted in the Guidance Note on Audit of Inte rnal Financia l Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
