Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Standalone Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)
To the Board of Directors of AGC Networks Limited
-
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of standalone unaudited financial results (the ‘Statement’) of AGC Networks Limited (the ‘Company’) for the quarter ended 30 September 2021 and the year to date results for the period 01 April 2021 to 30 September 2021, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time.
-
The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company’s management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, 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 (the ‘Act’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
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 the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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.
-
Based on our review conducted as 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 Ind AS 34, prescribed under section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Note: The standalone statement of cash flows has been prepared under the indirect method as set out in Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'.
Notes:
-
1) These interim unaudited standalone financial results (the 'Statement') 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).
-
2) The Statement has been reviewed and recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 14 November 2021. The statutory auditors have carried out a limited review of this Statement.
-
3) The outstanding balance of trade payables, trade receivables and other financial assets as at 30 September 2021 includes amount payable aggregating to Rs. 5.14 Crores and amount receivable aggregating to Rs. 0.44 Crores and Rs. 3.10 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. 3.10 Crores during the current period and on payables aggregating to Rs. 2.04 Crores subsequent to 30 September 2021. Similarly, the Company has filed application with AD Bank for extension of time limit for the aforementioned receivables aggregating to Rs. 2.98 Crores during the current period and on receivables aggregating to Rs. 0.56 Crores subsequent to 30 September 2021. For all the cases, approval is pending from AD Bank.
Pending conclusion of the aforesaid matter, the amount of penalty, if any, that may be levied, is not ascertainable but not expected to be material and accordingly, the Statement does not include any adjustments that may arise due to such delays.
-
4) 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 “second wave” that had significantly increased the number of cases in India, impact the Statement, 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 that may result from the pandemic, 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 this Statement, 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 this Statement.
-
5) The Company had filed claim before National Company Law Tribunal (‘NCLT’), Mumbai, towards recovery of dues from EPC Constructions India Limited (‘EPCCIL’ or ‘Corporate Debtor’) on account of services rendered by the Company to EPCCIL during its Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (‘CIRP’) period commencing from April 2018.
NCLT vide its order dated 08 June 2021, uploaded on its website on 26 June 2021, has directed EPCCIL to make payment of all outstanding dues to the Company within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of the aforesaid order and has further directed EPCCIL to continue to pay monthly charges towards services to be rendered by the Company. Subsequently, on appeal filed by EPCCIL challenging the aforesaid order, National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (‘NCLAT’), New Delhi has passed an order dated 28 September 2021 in favour of the Company and has directed EPCCIL to pay Rs. 4.50 Crores (inclusive of Rs. 1.00 Crore already paid in the month of June 2019) to the Company within a period of 2 months from the date of this order and has further directed EPCCIL to continue to pay monthly charges towards services to be rendered by the Company. In view of the said directions of NCLT and NCLAT and considering the principles of waterfall mechanism applicable to CIRP; since the services rendered by the Company form part of CIRP, the dues recoverable on account of such services would rank pari passu with expenditure incurred on the CIRP and will have to be settled on priority.
The Company had recognised operating revenue of Rs. 8.51 Crores (exclusive of taxes) and interest income of Rs. 1.49 Crores during the quarter ended 30 June 2021 (totalling to Rs.10.00 Crores) towards services rendered during the period April 2018 to June 2021, which continues to be receivable as at 30 September 2021. Subsequent to 30 September 2021, Company has received Rs. 4.05 Crores from the Corporate Debtor.
-
6) The paid-up equity share capital stands increased to Rs. 32.81 Crores (32,808,176 equity shares of Rs.10 each) upon allotment of 279,346 equity shares of Rs.10 each pursuant to ESOP Scheme 2015 during the quarter and six-months period ended 30 September 2021.
-
7) Previous period / year figures have been re-grouped, reclassified and rearranged, wherever necessary, to conform to current period's presentation.

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.

- Rs. 14.00 Crores towards assignment of trade receivables, which is considered good and recoverable by the management. However, in the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence to corroborate management’s assessment of recoverability of this balance from the buyer, allowance for expected credit loss reversed during the quarter and six-months period ended 30 September 2021, as explained in the aforementioned note is in excess by Rs 14.00 Crores.
Had the Group followed the principles of Ind AS 109, ‘Financial Instruments’, ‘Other financial assets’ as at 30 September 2021 and ‘Other operating income’ for the quarter and six-months period ended 30 September 2021 would have reduced by Rs. 14.00 Crores and profit after tax of Rs. 11.28 Crores for the quarter ended 30 September 2021 and of Rs 42.40 Crores for the six-months period ended 30 September 2021 would have reduced by Rs 14.00 Crores

Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above, except for the effects of the matter described in paragraph 4 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 Ind AS 34, prescribed under section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

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.

We draw attention to Note 5 to the accompanying Statement, which describes the delay in remittance of import payments and repatriation of proceeds from export of goods and services, aggregating to Rs. 13.68 Crores and Rs. 5.31 Crores, respectively, by the Holding Company, outstanding as at 30 September 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.

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.
Notes:

6) 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 Statement, 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 that may result from the pandemic, on the carrying amounts of trade receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, other 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 this Statement, 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 this Statement.

7) Black Box Holdings Limited (‘BBHL’), step-down subsidiary of the Holding Company, had entered into a share purchase agreement with Z Services Holding Ltd., a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (‘seller’) on 11 March 2021, to acquire 76% of share capital of Z Services HQ DMCC (‘Target Company’), limited liability company incorporated under laws of Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (‘DMCC’), for a total consideration of USD 3.94 Million, payable on closing of transaction or acquisition.

The revised effective date of acquisition is 01 July 2021.

NCLT vide its order dated 08 June 2021, uploaded on its website on 26 June 2021, has directed EPCCIL to make payment of all outstanding dues to the Holding Company within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of the aforesaid order and has further directed EPCCIL to continue to pay monthly charges towards services to be rendered by the Holding Company. Subsequently, on appeal filed by EPCCIL challenging the aforesaid order, National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (‘NCLAT’), New Delhi has passed an order dated 28 September 2021 in favour of the Holding Company and has directed EPCCIL to pay Rs. 4.50 Crores (inclusive of Rs. 1.00 Crore already paid in the month of June 2019) to the Holding Company within a period of 2 months from the date of this order and has further directed EPCCIL to continue to pay monthly charges towards services to be rendered by the Holding Company. In view of the said directions of NCLT and NCLAT and considering the principles of waterfall mechanism applicable to CIRP; since the services rendered by the Holding Company form part of CIRP, the dues recoverable on account of such services would rank pari passu with expenditure incurred on the CIRP and will have to be settled on priority.
The Holding Company had recognised operating revenue of Rs. 8.51 Crores (exclusive of taxes) and interest income of Rs. 1.49 Crores during the quarter ended 30 June 2021 (totalling to Rs.10.00 Crores) towards services rendered during the period April 2018 to June 2021, which continues to be receivable as at 30 September 2021. Subsequent to 30 September 2021, Holding Company has received Rs. 4.05 Crores from the Corporate Debtor.

9) During the quarter ended 30 September 2021, AGC Networks Pte. Limited (Dubai branch), step-down subsidiary of the Holding Company, has assigned certain trade receivables to Peregrine Opportunities Growth Fund Limited (the ‘buyer’) amounting to Rs. 37.28 Crores (equivalent to USD 5.05 million) for purchase consideration of Rs. 14.78 Crores (equivalent to USD 2.00 million). The aforesaid consideration is receivable in four instalments of Rs. 1.48 Crores (equivalent to USD 0.20 million), Rs. 2.96 Crores (equivalent to USD 0.40 million), Rs. 5.91 Crores (equivalent to USD 0.80 million), and Rs. 4.43 Crores (equivalent to USD 0.60 million) on 31 October 2021, 31 March 2022, 31 December 2022 and 31 March 2023, respectively. Accordingly, the Group has reversed the entire allowance for expected credit loss of Rs. 37.28 Crores towards the aforementioned trade receivables and derecognised trade receivables of Rs. 37.28 Crores and recognised receivables from the buyer towards aforementioned purchase consideration at present value of Rs 13.97 Crores on the initial recognition date. The difference between the consideration receivable and the carrying value of trade receivables is recognised in the statement of profit and loss during the quarter and six-months period ended 30 September 2021. Further, the unwinding of discount on the above receivable will be recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period of agreement and will be classified as interest income. The Group considers the aforementioned receivables from the buyer, good and recoverable as at the reporting date, i.e., 30 September 2021 and these receivables are shown as ‘Other financial assets’ in the Statement.

11) 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 Black Box Corporation ('BBC'), step-down subsidiary of the Holding Company. 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 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 Networks LLC, USA ('AGC USA'), step-down subsidiary of the Holding Company, 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 construed 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 recognised 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.
This Statement includes 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 errors for the aforementioned matters. The interim consolidated financial information of BBX prepared for the purpose of consolidation for the quarter and six-months period ended 30 September 2021, contain restatement of certain comparative figures resulting from correction of certain prior period errors relating to quarter and six-months period ended 30 September 2020.
