36th Annual Report 2018-2019

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of M/s. G M Breweries Limited

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited accompanying standalone financial statements of G M Breweries Limited (“the Company”), which comprise of the balance sheet as at March 31, 2019, the statement of Profit and Loss (Including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including 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 March 31, 2019, profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 are responsible for the preparation of the 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 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, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows 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 of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of 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 statement 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:

|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.|
|G|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.|
|G|Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures|
|made by management.|
|G|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.|
|G|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.|
|Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements|
|As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2016 (“the Order”), issued by the Central Government of India in terms|
|of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give in the Annexure A a statement on the matters specified in|
|paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.|
|As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, we report that:|
|a)|We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary|

|examination of those books.|
|c)|The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss including other comprehensive income, the statement of change in equity,|
|and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the books of account.|
|d)|In our opinion, the aforesaid standalone financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards specified under Section|
|133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.|

|Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2019 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section|
|164 (2) of the Act.|
|f)|With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company and the operating|
|effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate Report in “Annexure B”.|
|g)|With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor’s Report in accordance with Rule 11 of the Companies (Audit|

36th Annual Report 2018-2019

“ANNEXURE B” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF G. M. BREWERIES 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 G.M.BREWERIES LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS 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 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. 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, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, 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 judgement, 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 my /our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

31

G. M. BREWERIES LIMITED

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, 2019, 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

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the management discussion and analysis report for the year ended on March 31, 2019.

(A) INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

G.M.Breweries Limited (GMBL) is engaged in the manufacture of alcoholic liquor. Though the company has got the facility to blend and bottle both Indian made foreign liquor and country liquor, the concentration has been mainly on country liquor during this year also due to competitive market conditions in the IMFL segment. The Company has been making steady progress in the business of country liquor during the past five years.

Even though not much official statistics are available about the production of country liquor by various manufacturers, the data gathered from The State Excise Department shows that the company contributes about 25 to 30 % of the total Excise duty for country liquor in the whole of Maharashtra.

(B) OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND CONCERNS.

The Company’s products have been enjoying consistently good brand image and loyalty from the consumers for the past several years and the company enjoys virtual monopoly in country liquor in the districts of Mumbai, Thane & Palghar. It is the single largest manufacturer of country liquor in the State of Maharashtra. The company has capacity to process 13.76 crore bulk litres of country liquor per annum out of which only about 51.82 % has been utilized last year. The company is taking all possible steps to utilize the surplus capacity by extending its business to interior districts of Maharashtra taking advantage of its brand image.

Even though stringent steps have been taken by the various Government agencies, the parallel duty evaded market which eats into Company’s market share as

39

G. M. BREWERIES LIMITED

well as Government’s revenue continues to be the main threat to the Company. The company continues to make representations at various levels of the Government to take effective steps to curb the illicit market in the interest of the industry, revenue of the state as well as the public health.

The Company has been facing difficulty also due to very high levels of taxation and frequent changes in laws. In fact the exorbitant rate of taxation is one of the factors, which breeds duty evasion. The high level of fluctuations in the prices of its main raw material namely Rectified Spirit and as well as acute shortage in the availability of Spirit are the constraints faced by the Company during the past several years. In the recent past company also faces the problem of exercise of concurrent and parallel jurisdiction by more than one government agency like the State Excise Department, Legal Metrology Department and Food and Drugs Administration Department (FDA) which are conflicting in nature.

To overcome the problem of shortage, wide price fluctuation and heavy breakages in glass bottles, the Company has started marketing all sizes of country liquor in PET bottles which has gained wide acceptance from the consumers. However, during the last year the company faced the problem of sudden spurt in the prices of PET bottles due to increase in petroleum prices in the international market and fluctuation in exchange rates. During the year under review about 63.77% of the company’s total sale consisted of PET bottles.

The government of Maharashtra through a notification has banned use of PET bottles for filling alcoholic liquor with effect from April 01, 2016. Various trade bodies of the industry have filed writ petitions in the Hon. Bombay High Court challenging the legality of the notification. The Hon. Bombay High Court has admitted the writ petitions and granted interim stay in the matter. As Company’s all bottling lines have been designed to handle both glass and PET bottles final outcome in the matter will not have any impact on the manufacturing operations of the company.

As a part of its endeavour to conserve nation’s precious natural resources, by minimizing the use of power generated from conventional sources, the company has installed and commissioned solar power plant with total capacity of 825KWp (KWp = Kilowatt Peak) with net metering facility which can generate about 12 lakh units per annum under ideal conditions. Apart

from tax benefits this has resulted in substantial reduction in the cost of power consumed.

(C)OUT LOOK

Barring the aforesaid deterrents, the company does not foresee any major threats to its growth and market share in the coming years. The existing capacity should take care of the company’s requirement at least for the next Five years and the Company does not foresee any technological obsolescence for its products.

(D) INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY

The Company has engaged the services of an independent Chartered Accountant to carry out the internal audit and ensure that recording and reporting are adequate and proper, the internal controls exist in the system and that sufficient measures are taken to update the internal control system. The system also ensures that all transactions are appropriately authorised, recorded and reported. Exercises for safeguarding assets and protection against unauthorised use are undertaken from time to time. The company has also installed an extensive CCTV Surveillance system to cover the entire factory premises which is being upgraded on a regular basis. All these measures are continuously reviewed by the management and as and when necessary improvements are effected.

(E) DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The financial performance during the year under reference has been reasonably good in all respects. The company could achieve respectable growth in terms of turnover as well as profits in spite of high prices of Raw Material and Packing Materials.

(F) CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

The company has fully complied with the mandatory norms prescribed for contributions towards corporate social responsibility.

  • (G) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS FRONT, INCLUDING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED.

As on March 31, 2019 the company had 176 permanent employees at its manufacturing plant and administrative office.

40

36th Annual Report 2018-2019

The company recognizes the importance of human value and ensures that proper encouragement both moral and financial is extended to employees to motivate them.

The company has provided rent free accommodation to all its staff & workers adjacent to the factory premises of the company. The company enjoyed excellent relationship with workers and staff during the last year.
