TAMILNADU GENERATION AND DISTRIBUITION CORPORATIONLIMITED Report on the Standalone Financial Statements: ‘We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of TAMILNADU GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION CORPORATIONLIMITED(nerein after referred to as “the company") which comprise of the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018,Revenue Account and the Cash Flew Statement for the yeor then enced, ond a summery of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements: 1. The Management and Board of Directors of the company are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134 {5} of the Companies Act, 2013 (the act) with respect to the preparation of these Financial Statements thet cive a tue and fair view of the financial position, firancal performance and cash tlows of the company In accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Indian accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act, «aad with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibilty also Incudes mairtenance Of adequate acopunting 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 acccunting policies; making judgements and estimates thet are reasonable and prudent; design, implementation and maintarance of adequate internal financial controls, that are 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 materlal misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility: 2. Our responsibilty is to express an opinion on these Standalone Financial Statements based on our aud We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the Indian accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be Includad in the aude report under te provisions of the Act ard the Rules made there under. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Act. Those Stancards requre that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements are free fram material misstatement. 3. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Stardafone Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstetement of the Stondaione Financal Statements, whether due t3 fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial contro} relevant to the Company's preparation of the Standalone Firancial Statements that give a true and fair view in erder to design aucit procedures that are appropriate in ‘he circumstances. An aut also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting poicies used and the reasonableness of the accountieg estimates made ky management, as well ar avaleating the overail presentation of the Standelane Financial Statements. 4. We believe thet the audit evidence we have oblained Is sufficient and appropriate to provide @ basis ‘or cur adverse audit opinion. Basis for Adverse Opinion: 4, a. The financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Financial framework prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 read with the stipulated Indian Accounting Standards but in accordance with the Electricity (Supply) Annual Accounts Rules, 1985 since inception. The said Rules relate to a State Electricity Board and not to a limited Company. Thus, in our opinion, the financial statements are materially mis-stated by following a different framework than the one prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013. Ea b, TANGEDCO bas a subsidiary viz, M/s.Udangudi Power Corporation Ltd, and has invested in Joint Venture companies viz, M/s.Mana Tamil Colllaries Ltd, M/s.NTPC : Tamilnadu Energy Company Ltd (NTECL), M/S.NLC Tamil Nadu Power Ltd. M/s.Mandakani B Coal Corporation itd., and M/s.dengal Sirbhum Coal fields Ltd... ‘The Company has not prepared a “Consolidated Financial Statements” for the TANGEDCO Group as stipulated in “IND AS-110" and has not complied with Ind AS- 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” 2. The compilation process upto the financial year 2015-16, considered the opening baiances as maintained at the Head office alang with the audited transaction files as gathered from variaus circles and offices (after passing rectification entries) and the resulting figures were used for the preparation af the year end financial statements. From the Financial Year 2016-17 onwards, the final closing balances were compiled from “the audited statement of accounts received from the various circles and offices” along with *the rectification entries passed” at HO, for preparation of the year end financial statements. In the absence of proper reconciliation of the “balances as per the Annual Report for the financial year 2015-16" with the “opening balances adopted as on 01.04.2018" by the circles and ather offices, we are not in a position to comment on the impact of this on financial statements for the year under audit. 3. As per Rule 4(1)(ti)(c) of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, TANGEDCO, being a joint venture of the “NTPC Tamilnadu Energy Company Limited(NTECL)”, is required to prepare the financial statements as per the said rules (following Ind AS) as NTECL have complied with the said Rules from the Financial year 2016-17, as per information furnished. However, TANGEDCO has followed neither the Accounting framework as prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 nor the applicable Indian Accounting Standards stipulated under the said Rules, which has resulted in non-compliance of the provisions of the Act and the Rules, (n this regard. Besides the above, the TANGEDCO has not been following the Accounting Standards since inception, which was a basic statutory requirement up till 34.03.2016. The following accounting policies are in contravention of the Indian Accounting Standards: 2. "The terminal benefits ..., are being accounted an Cash basis” (Ind AS 1-Presentation of Financial Statements/Ind AS 19-Employee Benefits / AS 15(Revised)-Employee Benefits) b. “Interest on Staff Loans and Advances are recognised as income on completion of the principal recovery only"(Ind AS 18-Revenue/AS 9 - Revenue Recognition) ¢. "Inventories are not stated at the lower of cost or net reatisable value.” (Ind AS 2-Inventories | AS 2-Valuation of Inventories) 4. "Waiver of any liability relating to revenue expenses of past years. wouldbe treated as prior period Income."(Ind AS 8-Accaunting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors / AS 5- Net profit or toss for the period, Prior period iterns and Changes in Accounting Policies) “own constructed assets are capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads. . To adept an uniform method of capitalisation /apportionment of revenue expenditure at circle level and head office, the company is cepitalising its employees cost at 23.5%, administration &general expenses at 1%, Depreciation at 9.5% on yearly basis on work in progress. An additional 1% of Capital work 2a progress is capitalised towards commen expenses incurred at Head office for generating and common expenses incurred at Head Office for generating sections.. (Ind 4S 16- Property Plant and Equipment/AS 10} Further, the Company has not ascertained the impairment loss in respect of its Assets, in spite of having an appropriate accounting policy inthis regard, 5. 3b The effect of the nc:-campliance of the Indian Accounting Standa-ds on the financial statements / resulis of the Company is not ascertainable, except for the matter reported in paragr: jh no.4 below, Ind AS 20-Acceunting for Gavernment Grants and Disclosuie of Government Ass stance : The Company hes not been following the Accounting Standards | Ind AS in respect of Grants -2ceived from the Tamil Nadu Government s nce inception. The entice Equity shares of TANGEDCO are controlled by the Government of Tamil Nadu throws the TNEB Ltd (wholly ewned by the Government af Tamil Nadu). The said Government has given grants during the preceding three years and also during tre year under audit in respect of debts taken aver by the Government of Ta nif Nadu. ‘The details of Grants are given belaw, which have been treated as income and credited to the Fevenue Account of various years in contravention of the Accounting stands rds 12 and Ind AS 20. Finan: al Year Grant Received (RS. 19 crores) 2014 Rs. 1.600 Rs.1009 Rs.2000 Rs.4563 Rs.$563__ The above Grants received Irom the Government of Tamil Nadu, in our apinion, should have been considered as “Capital Reserve” instead of treating them as Income. This treatrant in the books of account of TANGEDCO is nat in line with the arguments given in the AS 22 j Ind AS 20.As per the standards, treating the Grants as incyna neither comply with the argument “in support of the Capital Approach*{ being the amounts which are not earned, which arz not refundable and that there is “no related costs” for getting the grant) and nor the “Income Approach" (the ultimate control of TANGEDCO is with the Government of Tarril Nady which has sanctioned the grant and that there is no related matching csts)as stipulated in the Ind AS 20 (which is also in line with AS 20 in this regare) AS 2 Consequence, he loss for the year under audit is understated by Rs.4563 Crores and both the accumulated losses and the capital reserves are understated by Rs.£563 Crores, Other Matters Major Discrepancies were observed between the buoks of account and the billing software (HT \ LT) (due ta absence of proper integration) with respect to security deposit and the int2 est tierean which has not been reccnciled and corrected, the impact of which on “te financial results of the campany is not ascertainable. The Depreciation fo: additions in respect of Depreciable assets made since inception, has not been arovited sa far, for the yaar in which the asset was acquired / put to use. As per the Nole No.7 of the “Statement 4: Signiticant Accounting Policies”, it should have been p vided “in the year subsequent to the year in which the asset but to use”. The shart fall, in the provision in this regard, has not been quantified and funishe¢ for ou: erification, Investments in M,s.Maha Tamil Colliacies Lid, and M/s.Mandakani B Coal Corporation Itd., . TANGEDCO, being a commercial astablishment, has aot complied with the provisions of the Provident Fur and Miscellaneous provisions Act, 1952, which, in our opinion, 's applicable to the Company (except in respect af employees to whom any t By Contributory Provident Fund scheme or old ‘age pension in accordance with any Scheme or rule framed by the Central Government or the State Government governing such benefits is applicable). The Company has not remitted the deductions made under the tiead "Provident Fund” fram the employees’ salary and interest thereon to any authority established for this purpose in violation of the Act referred above. The amount thus retained as itability In the books of TANGEDCO Is Rs. 1467.74 Crores besides the "Contributory Pension Scheme” of Rs.1630.98 Crores (being the total of Employces / TANGEDCO’s contribution and interest thereon as at 31.3.2018). Further, the said deduction from Employees’ Salary in respoct of Provident Fund is reckoned ag an ellgible deduction for compusting TOS Wability u/s. 192 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 which is against the provisions of the sald Act. Consequential ervors / liabllity under these Acts is also not quantifiable. The details of Losses on account of embazziements / thefts have not been furnished for our verification. TANGEDCO has not complied with Goods and Service Tax laws In respect of some of the items of its revenue, The Mabllity of the Company In this regard Is not ascertainable. Confirmation of Balances: i In the absence of confirmation of balances in respect of majority of values under Sundry creditors, Sundry debtors, Loans & Advances, Security Deposits etc,we are unable to certify the correctness or otherwise of the values reported under these heads. ii. Tt is observed that TANGEDCO maintains manval register also in respact of Poompuhar Shipping Corporation Ltd., {herein after referred to as PSC Ltd). There is a difference of a significant amount between the manual register and the computerized accounting records (in respect af Advance to PSC Ltd )as shown below which has not been explained to us: Rs, In croves [As per the manual register 46.49 Tas per the Accounting Software Cade No. 26500 Unexplained difference iid, In respect of the above, PSC Ltd has confirmed the balance as Rs.48.20 crores and the same has not been reconciled with the books of account of TANGEDCO, There are long pending differences in the inter unit / clrcie batances, the effect of which in the fmancial results of the Company for the year under audit is not Rieertainable. The unreconciied balances In this regard are Rs396.5% crores {Crest}. ‘The balance with TANTRANSCO of Rs.10896.48 crores (Debit) rema(tis unreconciied Gince inception the effect of which in the financial results of the Company for the year under audit Is not ascertainable, An adhot provision Is made towards unutitised Banking Wind Energy.

This material error was not identified by the Compa vy’s internal financial control system. () The appointment of an internal auditor, as stipulated in the Companies Act, 2013, has not been done, Employees who lack the professional qualifications and trainira to fulfil their assigned functions are designated as internal auditors. {¢)The Financial reporting framework adopted, consistently over a period of time, by the Company is not a relevant one. In this regard, undue bias or lack Of objectivity by those responsible for accounting decisions is observed. Also, the Failure of the management or those charged with governance to assess the effect 2f this significant deficiency previously communicated to them (through the Independent audit reports of the Statutory Auditors, since inception) is a major control weakness, (a) The Account ng Software adopted by the Company is not appropriate encugh te generav: the accounting Information so as to prepare the financial statements i1 the formats prescribed in the Companies Act, 2013. (f) Many Accor siting Standards / Indian Accounting Standards applicable to the Company hzve not been complied with. There is no control over the selection and application of appropriate accounting standards (that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles). In a few cases, inappropriate accounting policies were observed / reported. (a) The Fixed Assets register has not been updated and hence, proper shysical verification has not been carried out by the Company in various Units / a7 Gircles/ Offices, There is a failure of controls designed to safeguard assets from toss, damage, or misappropriation. (h) Absence of the intemal process to report deficiencies in internal control to management on a timely basis is observed. The Internal auditors are Presently reporting to the Managing Director which is a control lapse. Instead they should be reporting to the Board of Directors, @) The Appointment of an Independent director, as stipulated in the Companies Act, 2013, has not been done, due to which the Audit Committee con't Perform its duties in a proper and an appropriate way, G) Failure to perform reconciliation of significant accounts. The Company has ‘ot reconciled the Inter unit / circia balances and the balances with, group companies since inception. (x) The Company has not been adopting an appropriate procedure, for obtaining confirmation of balances from vatious parties including sundry debtors and creditors etc,, since taception, (1) In our opinion, non-compliance of tha taw governing the Provident fund is a major lepse on the part of the management, which may haye financial implications in the farm of penalties and non-compliance of the provisions of Sec.192 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This is one of the material internal > financial contro! tapses. A “material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial controt over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable Possibility that 2 material misstatement of the company's annual financial statements will not be prevented or datacted on a timely basis. In our opinion, because of the collective effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained adequate and effective internal financial controls ver financiat reporting as of March 31, 2018, We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extant of audit tasts applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company as at March 31, 2018, These material weakness/es hava affected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued an adverse 0 the standalone financial statements, For s.xvppuswamy PSG 6 Co LLP For A John Moris C2 For K, Gael Rag & Co Shartered accourtants Chartered Accountants, Chartered dccountants FRN 0.016165, FRN No: 0072208 Firm No.0009565 \ ee SN ASENY Ch. kvarndharien SeAgeidand ANS ‘riehna Rays Partner Partner . ‘4 MN: 205132 Hor 023082 DST LM.
