- The net-worth of the Company has got eroded during the last few years. The Company's current liabilities are higher than its current assets. While the petition for insolvency resolution process filed by one of the lenders before National Company Law Tribunal got dismissed vide its order dated November 18, 2022, the said matter is pending before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), on further appeal by the said lender.
In the meanwhile, the Monitoring Institution, on behalf of all the secured lenders have communicated their 'In-Principle' approval to the OTS proposal of ₹ 37,578.50 lakhs besides pass-through of all pending arbitration proceeds in the agreed ratio subject to the approval by their respective sanctioning authorities. Further, the secured lenders have recovered an amount of ₹ 10,100.50 lakhs in respect hereof through the sale of Company's immovable properties under The SARFAESI Act, leaving a balance of ₹ 27,478.00 lakhs, against which the Company has deposited ₹ 17,214.30 lakhs as on date in the Escrow Account maintained for the said purpose and is awaiting requisite sanction from the secured lenders along with resolutions of NCLAT and Debt Recovery Tribunal related issues.
Accordingly, the Management is of the view that it would be in a position to revive the Company and continue its operations. Hence it continues to prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis.
- 8. During the month of March 2024, the Company has received OTS sanction from one of its secured lenders whereas subsequent to March 31, 2024 from two of its secured lenders. Accordingly, the Company has settled them fully in accordance with the OTS proposal. The sanctions in respect of others are awaited.
- 9. The Company has neither paid nor provided interest on its borrowing during the quarter and year ended on March 31, 2024 in view of the foregoing as explained.
Had such interest been recognized, the finance cost for the quarter and period ended March 31, 2024 would have been more by ₹ 10,283.52 lakhs and ₹ 42,655.29 lakhs respectively. The resultant profit / (loss) would have been ₹ 3,397.05 lakhs and ₹ (21,592.61) lakhs and the EPS would have been ₹ 2.12 and ₹ (13.72) for the quarter and period ended March 31, 2024 respectively. The auditors have issued a modified opinion in respect of this matter.
-
- Exceptional Items include gains amounting to ₹ 7,366.34 lakhs on the sale of immovable properties and an amount of ₹ 3,556.94 lakhs representing the revision in the Field Level Maintenance (FLM) rates as per the escalation Clause of the FLM agreement with retrospective effect.
- 11. The figures for the previous quarter / period / year have been regrouped / rearranged / recast wherever considered necessary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To, The Board of Directors of GTL LIMITED Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Modified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone annual financial results of GTL LIMITED ("the Company") for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2024, attached herewith, being submitted by the company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the Securities Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ('Listing Regulations').
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effect of the matters described in the basis for modified opinion paragraph below, these standalone quarterly as well as year ended financial results:
- i. are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
- ii. give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable accounting standards specified 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 net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2024.
Basis for Modified Opinion
As mentioned in Note No. 9 to the Statement, the Company has neither paid nor provided interest on its borrowings during the financial year. Had such interest been recognised, the finance cost and interest liability for the year ended March 31, 2024 would have been more by Rs. 42,655.29 Lakhs. Consequently, the reported profit after Other Comprehensive Income by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024 would have been a loss of Rs. 21,592.61 Lakh. The Earnings per Share (EPS) would have been Negative Rs. 13.72.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act'). Our responsibilities under those Standards 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 financial results under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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. S
Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern
We draw attention to the following note to the accompanying statements-
Note no. 7 which inter-alia states that, its net worth has been eroded and the company's current liabilities are higher than its current assets as at March 31, 2024. The above conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared on going concern basis for the reasons stated in the said note - As against the 'in-principle' approval, to the One Time Settlement ('OTS') proposal of the Company of Rs 37,578.5 Lakh, Secured Lenders have recovered an amount of Rs 10,100.5 Lakh through sale of Company's immovable properties under SARFAESI Act, and for balance of Rs 27,478 Lakh, the Company has deposited Rs 17,214.30 Lakh as on date Crore in Escrow Account, maintained for the said purpose and is awaiting requisite sanction from the Secured Lenders along with resolution of National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) and Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) related issues.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following note to the accompanying statements-
Note no. 10 Exceptional Items include, the gains amounting to Rs. 7,366.34 Lakh, on sale of the immovable properties of the Company during the quarter and an amount of Rs. 3,556.94 Lakh representing the revision of FLM rates as per the escalation clause of the FLM agreement with retrospective effect.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results
The standalone financial results have been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these annual financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit/loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 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 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 annual 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 Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, lated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
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 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's Internal control.
- 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 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.
