Commenting on the results, Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries Ltd., said,

“This past year, with all its volatility and uncertainty, has underscored Hindalco’s resilience and ability to deal with challenges. Our record Q4 results have strengthened our balance sheet even further, absorbing the Aleris acquisition and restoring consolidated net debt to EBITDA ratio to pre-acquisition levels. The Aleris business continues to positively impact the overall top line and EBITDA.

==> picture [78 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

Through Q4, our India business continued to rise with demand higher than pre-Covid levels. Across the entire Hindalco family, we acknowledge the commitment and resilience of our employees, our own Covid warriors. Looking ahead, although FY22 has started with a second Covid wave in India, Hindalco is confident that our inherent strengths and tenacity will support us through it.”

Business Segment Performance in Q4 FY21 (vs Q4 FY20)

Novelis (including Aleris)

Novelis recorded its best-ever quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $505 million (vs $383 million), up 32% YoY, on the back of higher organic volume, favourable metal benefits, and a US$60 million EBITDA contribution from the acquired Aleris business. Adjusted EBITDA per ton was at $514 in Q4 FY21 (vs $472/ton), up 9% YoY. Novelis’ Net Income (excluding tax-effected special items[1] ) was at $172 million, up 12% YoY, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisition of Aleris. Revenue was $3.6 billion (vs $2.7 billion), up 33% YoY, due to higher shipments, global aluminium prices and market premiums. Total shipments of flat rolled products (FRPs) were at an all-time high of 983 Kt (vs 811Kt), up 21% YoY, with the addition of the acquired Aleris business and strong demand across end-product markets.

Aluminium India

EBITDA was at an all-time high of ₹1,610 crore in Q4 FY21, compared with ₹1,043 crore for Q4 FY20, an increase of 54% YoY, primarily due to favourable macros, better operational efficiencies and lower input costs. EBITDA margin of 27% was the highest in the last 12 quarters and continues to be amongst the best in the industry. Revenue was ₹5,969 crore in Q4 FY21 vs ₹5,299 crore in the prior year period. Aluminium India Business recorded metal production of 316 Kt (vs 327 Kt last year). Aluminium metal sales were higher by 5% YoY at 329 Kt (vs 314 Kt in Q4 FY20). Aluminium VAP (excluding wire rods) sales volumes were at a record high of 92 Kt (vs 76 Kt), up 21% YoY, driven by a sharp recovery in the domestic market. VAP sales as a percentage of total metal sales reached an all-time high of 28% this quarter vs 24% in the same quarter last year.

Copper

Copper Cathode production was at 97 Kt in Q4 FY21 (vs 75 Kt in Q4 FY20), higher by 29% YoY on account of stable operations during the quarter. While overall copper metal sales were at 107Kt (vs 86 Kt in Q4 FY20), Copper Continuous Cast Rod (CCR) sales in Q4 FY21 were in line with the same quarter last year, at 73 Kt. EBITDA for the Business stood at ₹269 crore compared to ₹406 crore in Q4 FY20. Revenue from the Copper Business was ₹8,508 crore this quarter, up 80% YoY, primarily due to higher global prices of copper.

  • The second COVID wave adds to the uncertainty to 1QFY21 outlook

  • Early high frequency indicators (PMI, fuel demand, E-way bills, etc) suggest economy has stared to feel the pinch of second wave

The RBI in its April monetary policy meeting retained its GDP growth estimate of 10.5%, highlighting downside risks

  • Downside risks weak domestic demand, local restrictions impacting supply chain and trade, constrained fiscal situation and slow pace of vaccination. Economy may turnaround as vaccination accelerates, strong global growth, increase in Govt. spending and pent-up demand supporting recovery

Automotive

CY21E Growth in Market Demand 25-30%

Aerospace

CY21E Growth in Market Demand 5-10%

  • Rising Customer demand leading to increases volumes across all the regions

  • High demand of cans is driven by higher at- home consumption as well as increasing share of Cans as the sustainable packaging option for beverages.

  • Significant Can making expansions announced next 2-3 years across all regions

  • Strong demand driven by new program adoption and increased production of SUVs, pick-up trucks, electric vehicles and premium vehicles

  • European demand is shifting to EVs and mid-premium cars

  • Semi-conductor shortage to have limited short-term impact on OEM production and sheet demand

  • Vaccine rollout a positive, but do not expect significant improvement in CY21 as consumer air travel remains restricted

  • Heavily overstocked Aerospace supply chain; bookings improving but recovery could be prolonged and uneven

India FRP Demand is estimated to surpass the pre-Covid levels in Q4 FY21

  • Consumer durables demand is supported by increasing penetration of e-commerce sales. Stable demand from the pharma & food packaging. Auto demand may see headwinds while the B&C demand recovery likely to be delayed due to surging COVID cases in the ongoing second wave

  1. These consolidated financial results of the Group have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on May 21, 2021.

  2. The Company has allotted 162,016 and 522,267 (60,707 shares are allotted through Hindalco Employee Welfare Trust in Q4 FY21) equity Shares of ₹1/- each to the option grantees pursuant to the exercise of options under the Employee Stock Option Schemes during the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

  3. On April 14, 2020, the Group completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aleris Corporation (Aleris), a global supplier of rolled aluminium products. As a result, the acquisition increases the Group’s footprint as an aluminium rolled products manufacturer by expanding the portfolio of services provided to its customers.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Ind AS 103 ‘Business Combinations’. The purchase price has been provisionally allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The Group has completed the purchase price allocation as on March 31, 2021.

Details of amounts paid and payable, including allocation based on Purchase Price Accounting in accordance with IndAS 103 are summarised below:

Fair Value of Net Identifiable Assets acquired has been finalised at ₹ 2,226 Crore (Provisional Fair Value as on June 30, 2020 was ₹ 3,295 Crore) after measurement period adjustment due to presentational alignment of pending derivative settlements, revisions in valuation of intangible assets on refinement in key assumptions, such as discount rates and growth rates, deferred tax impacts, change in estimated costs to sell related to discontinued operations, identified uncertain tax positions and customs related adjustments. As a result, allocation of Purchase Price towards Goodwill has gone up to ₹ 3,562 Crore.

  1. Borrowings:

  2. a. In April 2020, Novelis availed short-term loan to the tune of ₹ 8,363 Crore ($1.1 billion) for the purpose of funding a portion of the consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of Aleris. This loan has been prepaid in full during the year ended March 31, 2021. The transactions resulted in loss amounting to ₹ 63 Crore ($ 8.4 million) (included in "Finance cost") and gain of ₹ 18 Crore ($ 2.4 million) (included in "Other Income") for the year ended March 31, 2021 due to modification of cash flows. Out of the above, ₹ 12 Crore ($ 1.6 million) of gain is related to the prepayment made in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

  3. b. In March 2021, Novelis issued ₹ 4,299 Crore (€ 500 million) Senior Notes bearing interest at 3.375% due in 2029 under the laws of Ireland (the "2029 Senior Notes"). The 2029 Senior Notes are subject to semi-annual interest payments and mature on April 15, 2029. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the 2017 Term Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to finance and/or refinance new and/or existing eligible green projects, which are currently contemplated to consist of renewable energy or pollution prevention and control type projects. Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes amounted to ₹ 91 Crore ($12.5 million), which will be amortized as an increase to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of the note.

==> picture [15 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

  • c. In March 2021, Novelis borrowed ₹ 3,649 Crore ($ 480 million) of term loans (the "2021 Term Loans") under its Term Loan Facility. The 2021 Term Loans mature on March 31, 2028 and are subject to 0.25% quarterly amortization payments. The existing loans under the Term Loan Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus 2%. The proceeds of the 2021 Term Loans were applied to refinance a portion of the 2017 Term Loans. Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2021 term Loans amounted to ₹ 68 Crore ($9 million), which will be amortized as an increase to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of the note.

==> picture [66 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

This partial repayment of 2017 Term Loans resulted into a loss on extinguishment of debt of ₹ 62 Crore ($8 million) (included in "Finance cost") in the statement of consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021.

  • (b) On November 8, 2020, the Group entered into a definitive agreement with American Industrial Partners (AIP) for the sale of Lewisport and the sale was completed on November 30, 2020 ("transaction date for Lewisport business"). Upon closing, the Group has received ₹ 1,335 Crore ($ 180 million) in cash proceeds. In addition, the Group has recorded a ₹ 123 Crore ($ 17 million) receivable for net working capital adjustments. The sale has resulted into a loss of ₹ 17 Crore ($2 million), net of tax.

The results of operations of Lewisport have been presented as discontinued operations in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021.

  • (c) On September 30, 2020, the Group has completed the sale of its assets at Duffel, Belgium to ALVANCE, the international aluminum business of the GFG Alliance at a consideration of ₹ 2,675 Crore (€310 million as of September 30, 2020). Divestiture of Duffel was a precondition to the acquisition of Aleris as determined by the European Commission and Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). At the transaction date the Group has received ₹1,812 Crore (€210 million) in cash. Both the parties have agreed to a post-closing arbitration process on the remaining ₹863 Crore (€100 million as of September 30, 2020). The arbitration does not relate to future events and relates solely to the period prior to consummation of the sale and the amount ₹863 Crore (€100 million as of September 30, 2020) has been recorded as contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date till the amount is realised by the Group. Changes to the estimated fair value resulting from subsequent measurement will be recorded to “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax". The sale was completed in Q2FY21 and resulted into a gain of ₹98 Crore ($13 million), net of tax.

The results of operations of Duffel have been presented as discontinued operations in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021.

  1. During quarter ended June 30, 2020 in line with the changes in the internal structure for reporting financial information to the entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), the Group changed the composition of its ‘Aluminium segment’ and corresponding change in ‘All Other Segments’. ‘Aluminium segment’ includes Aluminium business of Hindalco Industries Limited, Utkal Alumina International Limited (UAIL), Hindalco Almex Aluminium Limited (HAAL), Suvas Holdings Limited (SHL) and Minerals and Minerals Limited (M&M). Previously, HAAL, SHL and M&M were included as part of “All Other Segments’. There is no change in ‘Copper segment’. ‘All Other Segments’ include remaining subsidiaries. The corresponding segment information of previous periods has also been restated accordingly and this change did not have a material impact on previously reported segment information.

  2. The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic impacted businesses around the globe during the current financial year. The Group’s operations, revenues, and profitability during the current year has improved and has reached almost the pre-COVID19 level. The Group has made a detailed assessment of its liquidity position for a period of at least one year from the balance sheet date, of the recoverability and carrying values of its assets comprising property, plant and equipment, Intangible assets, Trade Receivables, Inventory, investments, other current and non-current assets and ability to pay its liabilities as they become due and effectiveness of internal financial controls at the balance sheet date, and has concluded that there are no material impact or adjustments required in the consolidated financial statements.

Management is of the view that considering the nature of its business operations, existing customer and supplier relationships and its market position, impact on its business operations, if any, arising from COVID19 pandemic is not expected to be significant. The impact of COVID19 pandemic may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these results. The Group will continue to monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

  1. The Taxation Law (Amendments) Ordinance 2019 (‘the Ordinance’), provides an option to domestic companies in India to pay income-tax at a lower rate of 22% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) instead of the normal rate of 30% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) depending on the conditions specified in this behalf under section 115 BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A domestic company can avail of the lower tax rate only if it opts for not availing of certain exemptions or incentives specified in this behalf in the Ordinance. There is no time limit prescribed under the above to choose the option of lower tax rate under section 115BBA, however, once chosen it is irreversible.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries are having carried forward unabsorbed depreciation, accumulated MAT credit and tax incentives to be availed/adjusted against future taxable profits. Based on the projections prepared by the management, including its plan for future capital expenditure for capacity enhancement, the Group has determined that exercising the option of lower rate will be beneficial only from April 01, 2037. The Group has assessed that the net deferred tax liability of the Company and some of its subsidiaries India as at March 31, 2021 would get reversed within the period for which Group is expected to continue to be in the existing tax regime. Accordingly, the Group has not made any adjustments to reverse its deferred tax liability balances as at March 31, 2021.

  1. Consolidated results of the Group and results of Novelis segment for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021 include results of Aleris for the period April 14, 2020 to March 31, 2021 and as such are not comparable with the previous periods.

  2. The figures of the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 are balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the respective financial years.

14. Subsequent Event:

In prior years, Novelis filed four lawsuits spanning several years challenging the inclusion of State VAT (ICMS) in the tax base for calculating Social Contribution Tax (PIS and COFINS).

The lawsuits asserted that the calculation methodology was unconstitutional as it resulted in the assessment of a tax upon a tax. The Novelis lawsuits were consistent with lawsuits filed by a significant number of other taxpayers. In 2017, the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled the leading case in favor of the taxpayers, deciding that the inclusion of ICMS in the tax base for PIS and COFINS was unconstitutional. Previously the Group estimated the refund on a net basis (output tax paid less input credit) and recognized the benefit.

On May 13, 2021, in its ruling the Brazilian Supreme Court decided that the credit should be calculated based on gross methodology (on output tax basis) and with an effective date from March 2017, except for the companies that filed their lawsuits before this date, which will have the right from their respective initial proceedings. This decision is yet to be published. Assuming that the final, published ruling is consistent with the Group’s current interpretation of the decision, Novelis will be required to book an incremental benefit to true-up the credit from the amount recorded following the net methodology and will record this additional benefit in the period in which the ruling is published. The Group has not yet quantified the incremental benefit, but the benefit is expected to be material.

  1. The Board of Directors of the Company have recommended dividend of ₹ 3.00 per share for the year ended March 31, 2021.

  2. Figures of previous periods have been regrouped/ reclassified wherever necessary to conform to current period classification.

  1. The Company is a large corporate as per the applicability criteria given under the SEBI circular dated November 26, 2018. The Company is in compliance with the requirements of the above SEBI circular applicable to large corporate borrowers.

  2. The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic impacted businesses around the globe during the current financial year. The Company’s operations, revenues, and profitability during the current year has improved and has reached almost the pre-COVID19 level. The Company has made a detailed assessment of its liquidity position for a period of at least one year from the balance sheet date, of the recoverability and carrying values of its assets comprising property, plant and equipment, Intangible assets, Trade Receivables, Inventory, investments, other current and non-current assets and ability to pay its liabilities as they become due and effectiveness of internal financial controls at the balance sheet date, and has concluded that there are no material impact or adjustments required in the standalone financial results.

Management is of the view that considering the nature of its business operations, existing customer and supplier relationships and its market position, impact on its business operations, if any, arising from COVID -19 pandemic is not expected to be significant. The impact of COVID 19 pandemic may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these standalone financial results. The Company will continue to monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

  1. The Taxation Law (Amendments) Ordinance 2019 (‘the Ordinance’), provides an option to domestic companies to pay income-tax at a lower rate of 22% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) instead of the normal rate of 30% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) depending on the conditions specified in this behalf under section 115 BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A domestic company can avail of the lower tax rate only if it opts for not availing of certain exemptions or incentives specified in this behalf in the Ordinance. There is no time limit prescribed under the above to choose the option of lower tax rate under section 115BAA, however, once chosen it is irreversible.

The Company is having carried forward unabsorbed depreciation, accumulated MAT credit and tax incentives to be availed/adjusted against future taxable profits. Based on the projections prepared by the management, including its plan for future capital expenditure for capacity enhancement, the Company has determined that exercising the option of lower rate will be beneficial only from April 01, 2037. Company has assessed that the net deferred tax liability as at March 31, 2021 would get reversed within the period for which Company is expected to continue to be in the existing tax regime. Accordingly, the Company has not made any adjustments to reverse its deferred tax liability balances as at March 31, 2021.

  1. Since the segment information as per Ind AS 108-Operating Segments is provided on the basis of consolidated financial results, the same is not provided separately for the standalone financial results.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Directors of Hindalco Industries Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 2 of 5

Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

  1. These Consolidated financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual 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 profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its joint ventures and associate companies and the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and the consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the 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 joint ventures and associate companies 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 of its joint ventures and associate companies 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 financial statements 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.

  2. In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint ventures and associate companies are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its joint ventures and associate companies 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 and its joint ventures and associate companies or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  3. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint ventures and associate companies are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its joint ventures and associate companies.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

  1. 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.

==> picture [15 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Directors of Hindalco Industries Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 3 of 5

  1. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  2. 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.

  3. 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 on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. (Refer paragraph 15 below)

  4. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

  5. 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 ability of the Group and of its joint ventures and associate companies 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 joint ventures and associate companies to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. 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.

  7. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements/ financial information of the entities within the Group and of its joint ventures and associate companies to express an opinion on the 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.

  8. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Directors of Hindalco Industries Limited Report on the Standalone Financial Results Page 2 of 3

Regulations 33 and 52 of the Listing Regulations. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for 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 standalone financial statements 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 standalone financial results by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

  1. In preparing the standalone financial results, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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 intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  2. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial results

  1. 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.

  2. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  3. 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.

  4. 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 on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. (Refer paragraph 11 below)

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

  6. 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 ability of the Company 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.
