Independent Auditor's Report on Audited Standalone Financial Results of Essar Shipping Limited pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Requlations, 2015, as amended

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ESSAR SHIPPING LIMITED Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results

$\mathbf{1}$ Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Standalone Financial Results of Essar Shipping Limited ("the Company") for quarter and year ended 31st March 2022, ("the Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("Listing Obligations").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us. the Statement:

  • is presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing j. Regulations in this regard; and
  • gives a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles ii. laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information for the quarter and year ended 31st March 2022.

$2.$ Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Results under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

$3.$ Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note No. 4 and Note No. 5 of the Standalone Financial Results wherein it is stated that

  • The Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets as on 31st March 2022
  • Some of the Lenders of the Company's Subsidiary (where the Company is a Guarantor) and the Company's lenders and Public Financial Institution have filed applications before

the High Court / National Company Law Tribunal / Debt Recovery Tribunals for recovery of overdue amounts and / or enforcement of quarantees

  • The Company has disposed off most of its assets with prior approval of the lenders to pay $\bullet$ off its outstanding dues to lenders / vendors and has no revenue generating assets as at the year-end
  • The value of the security offered in connection with various borrowings as at 31st March 2022 is lower than the amounts outstanding to the lenders from last several years due to downturn in shipping and oilfield markets
  • The net worth of the Company is eroded and it is incurring continuous losses since last several years

The above factors give rise to a material uncertainty related to the Company's ability to continue as a Going Concern.

Further, as informed to us, the management is exploring business opportunity of In-chartering in the shipping sector (as referred in Note No.4(d) of Standalone Financial Results)

We have relied on the management representations, as above, and based on the same, the Standalone Financial Results have been prepared by the management on going concern basis.

$\overline{4}$ . Emphasis of Matter

  • i. We draw attention to Note No.8 of the Standalone Financial Results relating to recognition of revenue amounting to Rs. 369.81 crore (including accrued interest up to 31st March 2018) in the financial year 2017-18 based on compensation granted to the Company in the arbitration proceedings for breach of contract terms by a charterer of which Rs. 305.81 crore remains outstanding receivable as on 31st March 2022. As informed to us, the Company is confident of full recovery of its claims. However, pending conclusion of the said proceedings, no interest is accrued on the same for the period 1st April 2018 till 31st March 2022.
  • ii. We draw attention to Note No.6 of the Standalone Financial Results relating to Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) issued by the Company with three banks for Rs. 687.37 crore to secure a loan availed by a subsidiary, which were invoked in an earlier year. The Company has taken up matter with respective banks to settle the loans through monetization of assets. The Company has paid due to three banks. Of the three banks, two banks have issued No due certificate for the same. Balance one bank will provide no due certificate on the basis of agreed milestone as mentioned in One Time Settlement (OTS).
  • iii. We draw attention to Note No. 9(A) of the Standalone Financial Statements, relating to netting off of amount payable to a wholly owned overseas subsidiary with the amount receivable from the said subsidiary. This is subject to pending application and approval from the regulatory authorities.

  • iv. The Company has availed loans from banks and financial institutions which are secured by charge over various movable and immovable assets of the Company as well as subsidiary/ associate/ group companies and corporate quarantee of the ultimate Parent Company. The value of the security as at 31st March 2022 is lower than the amount outstanding as at that date due to downturn in shipping and oilfield markets from last several years.
    • The Company has issued Non Convertible Debentures which are inter alia secured $V_{\rm r}$ by a charge over six rigs owned by one of its subsidiary companies. Out of the six rigs, three rigs owned by the said subsidiary have been taken possession and disposed off / sold by the said vendor with a view to recover the dues from the said subsidiary Company. The transaction has been intimated by the said subsidiary to the debenture holder.
  • Borrowings from various lenders are subject to confirmation / reconciliation. vi.

Our Opinion is not modified is respect of the above matters.

5. Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the Standalone Financial Statements. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Standalone Financial Results that give a true and fair view of the net loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards 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 Standalone Financial Results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;

In preparing the Standalone Financial Results, the Board of Directors are 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 intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so:

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

6. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Results 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 Standalone Financial Results.

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 Standalone Financial Results, 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 through a separate report on the complete set of standalone financial statements on whether the company has adequate internal financial control with reference to standalone 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 in the Standalone Financial Results made by the Board of Directors;
  • Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the board of Directors in terms of the requirement specified under Regulation 33 of Listing Regulations;
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' 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 Standalone Financial Results 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 Standalone Financial $\bullet$ Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Standalone Financial Results of $\bullet$ the Company to express an opinion on the Standalone Financial Results.

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.

$\mathbf{7}$ Other matter

The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended 31st March 2022 being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of full financial year ended 31st March 2022 and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us, as required under the Listing Requlations.

3. Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results" section of our report. We are independent of the Group, in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Results under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in "Other Matters" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

4. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note No. 5 and 6 of the Consolidated Financial Results wherein it is stated that

  • $\bullet$ The Group's current liabilities exceed its current assets as on 31st March, 2022.
  • Some of the lenders of one of the subsidiaries (where the Holding Company is a Guarantor) and the Holding Company's lenders and Public Financial Institution have filed applications before the High Court / National Company Law Tribunals / Debt Recovery Tribunals for recovery of overdue amounts and / or enforcement of guarantees.
  • The Holding Company has disposed off most of its assets, with prior approval of lenders, $\bullet$ to pay off its outstanding dues to lenders / vendors and has no revenue generating assets as at the year end.
  • The value of the security offered in connection with various borrowings as at 31st March 2022 is lower than the amounts outstanding to the lenders.
  • The net worth of the Group has eroded, and the Group has been incurring continuous losses since last several years.

The above factors give rise to material uncertainty related to the Group's ability to continue as a Going Concern;

As informed to us, the management is exploring business opportunity of in-chartering in the shipping sector. (Refer Note No. 5(d) of Consolidated Financial Results).

We have relied on the management representations as above, and based on the same, these Consolidated Financial Results have been prepared by the management on going concern basis.

5. Emphasis of Matter

  • We draw attention to our observations in paragraph 4 above whereby, in spite of several $\mathsf{a}$ factors mentioned therein, the results are prepared on "Going Concern" basis;
  • $b1$ In case of certain subsidiaries, the respective auditors have pointed out that the concerned financial statements / results have been prepared on going concern basis, in view of the representation by the management that it is confident of rolling over its short term borrowings to address cash flow mismatches.
  • We draw attention to Note No. 9 of the Consolidated Financial Results relating to $C_{-}$ recognition of revenue amounting to Rs. 369.81 crore (including accrued interest up to 31st March 2018) in the financial year 2017-18 based on compensation granted to the Holding Company in the arbitration proceedings for breach of contract terms by a charterer of which Rs. 305.81 crore remains outstanding receivable as on 31st March 2022. As informed to us, the Holding Company is confident of full recovery of its claims. However, pending conclusion of the said proceedings, no interest is accrued on the same for the period 1st April 2018 till 31st March 2022.
  • We draw attention to Note No. 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements relating to $\mathbf d$ . Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) issued by the Company with three banks for Rs. 687.37 crore to secure a loan availed by a subsidiary, which were invoked in an earlier year. The Company has taken up matter with respective banks to settle the loans through monetization of assets. The Company has paid due to three banks. Of the three banks, two banks have issued no due certificate for the same. The third bank will provide no due certificate on the basis of agreed milestone as mentioned in One Time Settlement (OTS).
  • e. In case of one subsidiary, during the year Bare Boat Charter Demise with the Holding Company has been cancelled resulting in loss of USD 39.59 on foreclosure of lease. Further, the vessels repossessed have since been sold resulting in a loss of USD 39.02.
  • In case of the Holding Company and one of the subsidiaries, the Company has availed f. loans from banks and financial institutions which are secured by charge over various movable and immovable assets and corporate guarantee of the intermediate Holding Company. Majority of the immovable assets have either been held for sale or have been sold. The value of the security as at 31st March 2022 is lower than the amount outstanding as at that date due to downturn in shipping and oilfield markets from last several years.
  • g. The Holding Company has issued Non-Convertible Debentures which are inter alia secured by a charge over six rigs owned by one of its subsidiaries. Out of the six rigs, three rigs owned by the said subsidiary have been disposed off / sold by a vendor with a view to recover the dues from the said subsidiary Company to the said vendor. The said transaction has been intimated by the subsidiary to the debenture holder.
  • $h_{\cdot}$ In case of a subsidiary, during the year, the Company has entered into a settlement agreement with one of its lenders to settle the outstanding dues to the said party. The Company has made upfront payment in terms of the said settlement agreement but has defaulted in payment of the dues payable on or before 31st March 2022. Further, the Company is in the process of reconciling the amount payable under the settlement agreement. Pending reconciliation of amounts payable and compliance with payment requirements under the settlement agreement, no effect has been given to the settlement

agreement in the accounts of the said subsidiary Company for the year ended 31st March 2022.

In case of the Holding Company and a subsidiary, borrowings from various lenders are i. subject to confirmation / reconciliation.

Our Opinion is not modified for the above matters.

6. Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

These Consolidated Financial Results have been prepared on the basis of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Results that give a true and fair view of the net loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its associate and jointly controlled entity in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards 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 respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate and jointly controlled entity 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 its associate and jointly controlled entity 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 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, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Results by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate and jointly controlled entity are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its associate and jointly controlled entity 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.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate and jointly controlled entity are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associate and jointly controlled entity.

7. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Results 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 Consolidated Financial Results.

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 Consolidated Financial Results, 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 whether the company has adequate internal financial control with reference to standalone 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 Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern $\bullet$ 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 and its associate and jointly controlled entity 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 Consolidated Financial Results 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 and its associate and jointly controlled entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Results

represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results/ financial $\bullet$ information of the Group and its associate and jointly controlled entity to express an opinion on Consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Results, which have been audited by 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.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors 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.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.
