Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members of THE GAEKWAR MILLS LIMITED.

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of THE GAEKWAR MILLS LIMITED (‘the company’) which comprises of Balance Sheet as at 31[st ] March, 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (Including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone 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 31[st] March, 2021, and its loss (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in the equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 Standalone 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 together with the independent requirement that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules made there under, 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 opinion on standalone 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 standalone 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.

Information other than standalone financial statements and Auditors report thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of other information. The other information comprises of the information included in the management discussion and analysis, Boards report including Annexure to Boards Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. Our opinion on standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statement, our responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially

36

inconsistent with the standalone financial statement or other information obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (Including Other Comprehensive Income),cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements 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 statements. 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 statements, 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

37

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by 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 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 statements 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 statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication

Annexure A to the Independent Auditor’s report of even date on the Standalone Financial Statements of The Gaekwar Mills Limited .

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of The Gaekwar Mills Limited (“the Company”) as of 31[st] March 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding 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.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence 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 understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

40

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

THE GAEKWAR MILLS LIMITED NOTE 17: The Company was wound up by an order dated 4th February 2008 passed by the Hon. Bombay High Court. Subsequently, on 10th September, 2009, the Hon. Bombay High Court accorded sanction to a scheme of Compromise/ Arrangement under section 391 to 393 of the Companies Act, 1956, for the revival of the Company. The winding-up order was finally set aside on 30th June 2015 and the Company is now out of liquidation. NOTE 18: In earlier years the Company had issued the following two series of debentures: Secured Non-Convertible Debentures (Series A) each of the face value of Rs. 1,00,000/at par. Issued on 9th October 2009 and redeemable on or before the expiry of 8 years (i.e. maturing on 9th October 2017) carrying 0% interest for the first three years (upto 09/10/2012), thereafter carrying interest in the 4th and 5th years at 9% p.a. and thereafter until maturity at 12% p.a and secured by way of charge on fixed assets of the Company and floating charge upon all the present and future assets of the Company. All the debentures of Series A have been held by M/s Mukesh Babu Financial Services Ltd. since last several years. The Board of Directors of our Company and the Board of Directors of Mukesh Babu Financial Services Ltd , at separate meetings held on 30th May 2017 approved the following changes in terms of interest payment and redemption of the above debentures: (i) Series A Debentures would bear Zero Percent interest effective 1st April 2016 (ii) the maturity date of Series A debentures will be extended to 09/10/2020 (iii) Series A Debentures of face value Rs 30 crores to be redeemed at a premium of 60% (Rs 18 crores). The premium of Rs 18 crores payable on redemption of Series A Debentures has been shown in the Accounts under the head "Miscellaneous Expenditure" and is being written off proportionately over the remaining life of the debentures. Accordingly amount of premium debited to Profit & Loss Account of current year Rs. 2,08,37,115 - (previous year Rs. 3,98,78,934/ ) The debentures became due for redemption on 09/10/2020. In view of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, the

57

Company has requested the debentureholder to extend the Debenture Period by two years upto 09/10/2022. Confirmation from the Debentureholder is awaited Zero Percent Secured Non-Convertible Debentures (Series B) each of the face value of Rs. 1,00,000/- at par issued on 22nd April 2013 and redeemable on or before the expiry of 7 years (i.e. maturing on 22nd April 2020) and secured by way of charge on all fixed assets of the Company, ranking pari-passu with the charge holder of Series A Debentures and floating charge on all other assets of the Company, both present and future. The pari passu charge to be restricted upto Rs. 5 crores only. In view of the Covid-19 Pandemic the Company has requested the Debentureholder to extend the Debenture Period upto such time as the liquidity situation improves. Confirmation from Debentureholder is awaited. The Company has duly intimated BSE Limited of the defaults in resepct of the debentures NOTE 19: The Scheme of Compromise/Arrangement sanctioned by Hon. Bombay High Court in 2009 had made provision for payment of Rs. 9.71 crores towards Gratuity liability of the workmen. The amount was deposited with the office of the Mamlatdar, Gandevi. In spite of repeated publicity through press and television media, it was found that over 1,200 workmen had not collected their dues even after a period of four years from 2009 to 2013. An application was made to the High Court in 2013 that the undisbursed funds should be returned to the Company on its undertaking to pay the claim of the workers, if made thereafter. The application was considered favourably by Hon. Justice Patel who passed an order to this effect on 15th January 2014. Consequent to this order, the Mamlatdar, Gandevi returned to the Company, via the office of the Official Liquidator attached to the Bombay High Court, Rs. 4,60,84,470 in September 2014 and further amount of Rs. 9,39,712 in July 2015. No workmen have come forth to make a claim till 31st March 2020 under this scheme. NOTE 20: (i) As per the Scheme of Compromise sanctioned by the Bombay High Court in 2009, amounts aggregating to Rs. 9.71 crores were payable to erstwhile workmen, based on Recovery Certificates in respect of 2,185 workmen issued in the year 2003 by Asst. Labour Commissioner, Navsari. The Company thereupon deposited with the Mamlatdar, Gandevi Rs. 3.03 crores and issued cheques in favour of individual workmen aggregating to Rs. 6.63 crores, thus satisfying the claims entirely. (ii) Subsequent to the sanction of the Scheme, further Recovery Certificates were issued by the

58

Asst. Labour Commissioner, Navsari, in respect of 386 workmen aggregating to Rs. 1,89,83,135. The Official Liquidator wrote to the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act that these fresh claims are not payable as the relevant orders had been passed after date of winding up of the Company, and without mandatory sanction from the Bombay High Court, where liquidation proceedings are still pending.

Taking cognizance of this information, the Controlling Authority passed an order dated 02/08/2011 withdrawing the Recovery Certificates.

Withdrawal of the said orders was challenged by a group of workmen before the Gujarat High Court, wherein the Hon Gujarat High Court has upheld the order of the Controlling Authority. The said order of the Gujarat High Court was further challenged by the group of workmen before the Hon. Supreme Court of India, who directed the Bombay High Court to hear the appeal of the workmen on merit. The appeal has been admitted by the Division Bench of the Bombay High Court,

but no interim or ad interim order has been passed to date.

The Company has been advised that no provision be made in the accounts for the additional amount

of Rs. 1,89,83,135. However the Company has provision of Rs. 73,08,495 for Gratuity and other related claims carried over from an earlier year.
