Independent Auditor's Review Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Unaudited Standalone Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended
Review Report to The Board of Directors Usha Martin Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of Usha Martin Limited (the ··company") for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and year to date from April 01. 2021 to September 30. 2021 (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 (the "Listlng Regulatiohs").
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 , (Ind AS 34) ''Interim Financial Reporting'' prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generaHy accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 24 10 ''Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A revfew of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
-
- Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act. 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in

terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed. or that it contains any material misstatement.
5. Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 6 (a) regarding attachment of certain parcels of land at Ranchi used by the Company's wire rope business under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) in connection with export and domestic sale of iron ore fines in prior years aggregating Rs 19.037 lakhs allegedly in contravention of terms of the mining lease granted to the Company for the iron ore mines. Pending final outcome of the appeal filed by the Company before the Appellate Tribunal, PMLA and of the ongoing proceedings on complaint filed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) before the District and Sessions Judge cum Special Judge (CBI). Ranchi as mentioned in the said note, no adjustment to these standalone financial results in this regard have been considered necessary by the management.
Further, as explained in Note 6 (b), a First Information Report (FIR) has been filed by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the Company, its Managing Director and certain Other Officers under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and the Indian Penal Code, 1860 for allegedly trying to influence ongoing CBI investigation pertaining to the proceedings mentioned in note 6 (a). The matter is currently pending investigation and the Company intends to take such legal measures as necessary based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of ihese matter.

- 6(a) The Directorate of Enforcement, Patna ("ED") had issued an order dated August 9, 2019 under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) to provisionally attach certain parcels of land at Ranchi, State of Jharkhand being used by the Company for its business for a period of 180 days in connection with export and domestic sale of iron ore fines in prior years aggregating Rs. 19,037 lakhs allegedly in contravention of terms of the mining lease granted to the Company for the iron ore mines situated at Ghatkuri, Iharkhand. The Hon'ble High Court of Iharkhand at Ranchi had, vide order dated February 14, 2012, held that the Company has the right to sell the Iron ore including fines as per the terms of the mining lease which was in place at that point in time. The Company had paid applicable royalty and had made necessary disclosures in its returns and reports submitted to mining authorities. In response to the provisional attachment order, the Company had submitted its reply before the Adjudicating Authority (AA). Subsequently, AA had issued an order by way of which the provisional attachment was confirmed under Section 8(3) of PMLA. Thereafter, the Company filed an appeal before the Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi and successfully obtained a status quo order from the Tribunal on the confirmed attachment order which continues till the next date of hearing that is now fixed on December 9, 2021. In May 2021 the ED had filed a complaint before the District and Sessions Judge Cum Special Judge (CBI), Ranchi against the Company and one of its Officers. In response to the said complaint and summons received by the Company and its Officer, the Company had filed a quashing petition before the Hon'ble Jharkhand High Court which has been dismissed vide order dated November 3, 2021 in which the Hon'ble Court has stated that "the facts of the case are volumnious and the Court is not required to make a roving enquiry and discuss the evidences for coming to a conclusion that no primafacie case is made out, at this stage, which is against the mandate of law". Accordingly, the proceedings in the complaint shall continue before the District and Sessions Judge Cum Special Judge (CBI), Ranchi. The ongoing operations of the Company have not been affected by the aforesaid proceedings. Supported by a legal opinion obtained, management believes that the Company has a strong case in its favour on merit and law. Accordingly, no adjustment to these financial results in this regard have been considered necessary by the management.
- 6 (b) On October 2, 2020, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the Company, its Managing Director and certain Other Officers under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and the Indian Penal Code, 1860 for allegedly trying to influence ongoing CBI investigation pertaining to the above proceedings. The Company strongly refutes the aforesaid allegations made by the CBI. During the quarter, the CBI has submitted necessary sanction with the designated CBI Court for cognizance of offence in terms of the interim charge sheet. Such cognizance is yet to be taken and the matter is under investigation. The Company has been providing information sought by the CBI in this regard and intends to take such legal measures as may be considered necessary based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.

Independent Auditor's Review Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended
Review Report to The Board of Directors Usha Martin Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of Usha Martin Limited (the "Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group"), and its joint ventures for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and year to date from April 01, 2021 to September 30, 2021 (the "Statement") attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations").
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's Management and approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) "Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our resp~nsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated March 29, 2019 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.
- The Statement includes the results of the entities as mentioned in Annexure 1.

- Based on our revie d w con ucted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and based th · . . . on e consIderat1on of the review reports of other auditors referred to m paragraph 7 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
6. Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 7(a) regarding attachment of certain parcels of land at Ranchi used by the Company's wire rope business under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) in connection with export and domestic sale of iron ore fines in prior years aggregating Rs 19,037 lakhs allegedly in contravention of terms of the mining lease granted to the Company for the iron ore mines. Pending final outcome of the appeal filed by the Company before the Appellate Tribunal, PMLA and of the ongoing proceedings on complaint filed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) before the District and Sessions Judge cum Special Judge (CBI), Ranchi as mentioned in the said note, no adjustment to these consolidated financial results in this regard have been considered necessary by the management
Further, as explained in Note 7(b), a First Information Report (FIR) has been filed by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the Company, its Managing Director and certain Other Officers under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and the Indian Penal Code, 1860 for allegedly trying to influence ongoing CBI investigation pertaining to the proceedings mentioned in note 7(a). The matter is currently pending investigation and the Company intends to take such legal measures as necessary based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.
