    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the report of other auditors on audited consolidated financial statements of a subsidiary, as referred to in paragraph 15 below, the Statement:

Emphasis of Matters – Impact of COVID-19 on the Statement, non-compliance with laws and regulations and restatements made in comparative financial information

    1. We draw your attention to Note 12 to the accompanying Statement, which describes the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's operations and on accompanying Statement as at reporting date. In view of the uncertainties in the economic environment due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the impact on the operations of the Group is significantly dependent on the future developments as they evolve.
    1. We draw attention to Note 11 to the accompanying Statement which describes the delay in remittance of import payments and repatriation of proceeds of export of goods and services, aggregating to Rs. 7.41 Crores and Rs. 4.80 Crores, respectively by the Holding Company, outstanding as at 31 March 2021, beyond the timelines stipulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended from time to time. The Holding Company's management has filed necessary applications with the appropriate authority for extension of time period and condonation of such delays. The management is of the view that the fine / penalties, if any, that may be levied, are currently unascertainable but not expected to be material and accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the accompanying Statement in respect of the fines / penalties that may be levied on account of such delays.
    1. We draw attention to Note 23 to the accompanying Statement which describes the restatements made in the comparative financial information presented for the quarter ended 31 December 2020, for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2020 and as at 31 March 2020, relating to the subsidiary, BBX Inc. ('the subsidiary') in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, for correction of certain material prior period errors, as further described in the aforesaid note.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of matters reported in paragraphs 4 to 6 above.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

  1. The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual audited financial statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit after tax and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Group, 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 consolidated financial results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These consolidated financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

    1. In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 this Statement.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with the SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
    • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 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 Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls 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 the 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 ability of the Group, 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 Statement 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
    • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of the entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

    1. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company 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.
    1. 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.
    1. We also performed procedures in accordance with SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019, issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

Other Matters

  1. We did not audit the consolidated annual financial results of one subsidiary included in the Statement, whose financial information (before eliminating inter-company transactions) reflects total assets of Rs. 2,080.83 Crores as at 31 March 2021, total revenues of Rs. 4,233.92 Crores, total net profit after tax of Rs. 75.75 Crores, total comprehensive income of Rs. 180.09 Crores, and cash flows (net) of Rs. 33.63 Crores for the year ended on that date, as considered in the Statement. These consolidated annual financial results have been audited by other auditors whose audit report has been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this subsidiary is based solely on the audit report of such other auditors, and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 14 above.

Further, this subsidiary is located outside India, whose consolidated annual results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in its country of incorporation, and which have been audited by other auditors under International Standards on Auditing (ISA). The Holding Company's management has converted the consolidated financial results of this subsidiary from accounting principles generally accepted in its country of incorporation to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Holding Company's management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of this subsidiary, is based on the audit report of other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and audited by us.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter with respect to our reliance on the work done by and the report of the other auditors.

  1. The Statement includes the consolidated financial results for the quarter ended 31 March 2021, being the balancing figures between the audited consolidated figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year-to-date consolidated figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to limited review by us.

    1. The spread of COVID-19, a pandemic caused by the novel Coronavirus, is having an unprecedented impact on global economy and way of doing business. Majority of the countries across the world had announced a series of lock-down measures starting in January 2020 which have been extended from time to time. With the change in global circumstances, governments have issued directives which indicate calibrated and gradual or complete withdrawal of lockdown and partial or complete resumption of economic activity depending on the severity of the disruption caused in respective countries. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the "second wave" that has significantly increased the number of cases in certain countries, impact the consolidated financial results, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including among other things, any new information concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and action to contain its spread or mitigate its impact. The Group has considered the possible effects on the carrying amounts of trade receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, tax assets (including deferred tax assets), investments and other financial assets and continues to monitor changes in economic conditions. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Group, as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial results, has used internal and external sources of information and based on current estimates, expects that the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The eventual outcome of the impact of the pandemic may be different from those estimated as on the date of approval of these consolidated financial results.

23) Restatement on account of prior period error or omission

1 Warrants

  • a) During the financial year 2018-19, BBX, step-down subsidiary of Holding Company, had entered into a credit agreement with Pathlight Capital Fund LLP (the 'lender') to avail credit facility amounting to Rs. 692.57 Crores (USD 97.50 Million) for BBC. Further, as an inducement and towards partial consideration for entering into the credit agreement, warrants were issued to the lender, which had a right to purchase common stock of BBC, having par value of USD 0.01 per share. BBC had not accounted for these warrants in the relevant period and accordingly accounting impact was not considered in the consolidated financial results of that period.
  • b) The Holding Company was required to account financial liability at fair value of warrants with corresponding debit to debt issuance cost. These warrants should be subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss at each reporting date in accordance with Ind AS 109, 'Financial Instruments'. Further, debt issuance cost should be amortised over the period of loan.

2 Unamortised cost of maintenance contracts

a) During the financial year 2020-21, BBX has identified excess unamortized cost for maintenance contracts in one subsidiary which is pertaining to financial year 2019-20. The error pertaining to the past period has now been recorded by restating the respective reporting period.

3 Sale and leaseback

  • a) During the financial year 2019-20, BBC executed an arrangement of sale and leaseback with Pitts Properties Inc. ('PPI') where BBC ('seller / lessee') agreed to sell and lease back its land and building with PPI ('purchaser/ buyer/ lessor'). The transaction was recorded in the books in the relevant period. PPI is an unrelated party.
  • b) During the same financial year 2019-20, AGC USA had provided financial guarantee to the lender of PPI on behalf of PPI. BBC had also provided springing guarantee to the lender of PPI which became effective on premature repayment by BBC to Pathlight in December 2019. It is constructed that PPI raised the money from its lender against the financial guarantee given by AGC USA apart from the security of land and building to pay BBC towards sales consideration. Accordingly, the initial sale and lease back transaction became invalid in line with Ind AS 115, 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and Ind AS 116, 'Leases'. This has resulted into unwinding of sale and lease back transaction on the initial date of recognition. Land and building are re-recognized in the books and depreciation is charged as if the sale never took place. Financial liability is recognized in the books for the amount equivalent to the consideration already received from PPI in respective periods.
  • c) Further, AGC USA and BBC had not accounted for the financial guarantee in accordance with Ind AS 109, 'Financial Instruments' at the time of issuing the guarantee to lenders of PPI. Accordingly, guarantee is recorded at fair value on initial recognition, and fair value is determined by comparing effective interest rate implied by the cash flow analysis with BBC's incremental borrowing rate.

These consolidated financial results include the effect of restatement in accordance with Ind AS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors' for correction of certain material prior period error for the aforementioned matters. The consolidated financial statements of BBX prepared for the purpose of consolidation as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, contain restatement of certain comparative figures resulting from correction of certain prior period errors relating to quarter and year ended 31 March 2020.

Notes on segment information :

1 The Board considers a business activity focused reporting format to be more meaningful from a management forecasting perspective.

2 Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identifiable to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

We draw attention to Note 5 to the accompanying Statement which describes the delay in remittance of import payments and repatriation of proceeds of export of goods and services, aggregating to Rs. 2.10 Crores and Rs. 4.56 Crores, respectively, outstanding as at 31 March 2021 beyond the timelines stipulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended from time to time. The management has filed necessary applications with the appropriate authority for extension of time period and condonation of such delays. The management is of the view that the fine / penalties, if any, that may be levied, are currently unascertainable but not expected to be material and accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the accompanying Statement in respect of the fines / penalties that may be levied on account of such delays.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of matters reported in paragraphs 4 to 5 above.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

    1. This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual audited financial statements and has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. 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 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 Statement that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
    1. In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 this Statement.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with the SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
    • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 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 in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 the management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Statement 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 Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.

Standalone

Notes:

    1. These standalone financial results have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules thereafter and in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended).
    1. Figures for the quarter ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 are the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the unaudited published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current and previous financial year which have been sibjected to limited review by the statututory auditors.
    1. The standalone financial results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 31 July 2021 and 02 August 2021, respectively. These standalone financial results have been prepared on the basis of audited standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
    1. As on 1 April 2020, the Company had not appointed at least one independent woman director on the board. Company had appointed independent woman director in the board meeting held on 10 September 2020.
    1. The outstanding balance of trade payables and other financial assets as appearing in the balance sheet as at 31 March 2021 includes amount payable aggregating to Rs. 2.10 Crores and amount receivable aggregating to Rs. 4.56 Crores, respectively, to / from the companies situated outside India. These balances are pending for settlement and have resulted in delay in remittance / collection beyond the timeline stipulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. The Company has filed necessary application with AD Category – I bank ("AD Bank") for extension of time limit on payables aggregating to Rs. 1.16 Crores during the financial year and on payables aggregating to Rs. 0.94 Crores subsequent to 31 March 2021.

    1. COVID-19 pandemic has impacted most economies and businesses globally, including India. The nation-wide lockdown in first half of financial year 2020 substantially impacted economic activity. The easing of lockdown measures subsequently led to gradual improvement in economic activity and progress towards normalcy. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the current "second wave" that has significantly increased the number of cases in India, impact the standalone financial results, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including among other things, any new information concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and action to contain its spread or mitigate its impact. The Company has considered the possible effects on the carrying amounts of trade receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, other intangible assets, tax assets, investments and other financial assets and continues to monitor changes in economic conditions. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these standalone financial results, has used internal and external sources of information and based on current estimates, expects that the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The eventual outcome of the impact of the pandemic may be different from those estimated as on the date of approval of these standalone financial results.
