We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of JBF Industries
Limited ("the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March 2024,
the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of
material 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 31,2024, and its profit including other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

(i) As mentioned in Note 24.1 to the Standalone Financial Statements, provision
of interest @ NIL% p.a. on its borrowings aggregating to X 2,473.79 Crores
for the year ended from1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024 as against the
documented rate, resulting into lower provision of finance cost for theyear ended
31stMarch, 2024 by X 343.90 Crores, which is not in compliance with Ind AS -23
"Borrowings Costs" read with Ind AS-109 on “FinancialInstruments".

Aggregate amount of Interest not provided for as at 31stMarch, 2024 is
X 1164.81 crores. Had the interest been provided at the documented rate,
finance cost, net loss after tax for the year, total comprehensive income and
EPS for the year ended 31st March, 2024 would have been X 343.99 Crores,
X (354.54) Crores, X (354.54) Crores, ? (43.30)as against the reported figure of ?

0.09 Crores, X (10.64), ? (10.64) Crores andX (1.30) in the above Statements.
Further current financial liabilities-others and other equity as at 31st March,
2024 would have been X 1,622.81 crores and X (4,094.17) crore respectively as
against reported figure of ? 458 crores and X (2929.36) crores respectively in the
above results.

(ii) As mentioned in Note 27.3 to the Standalone Financial Statements regarding
the application filed with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), by one
of the operational creditors ofJBF RAK LLC (JBF RAK), situated at UAE, a
subsidiary of the company, against the Company, for supply of raw materials to
JBF RAK and claim of X 128.48 Crores (US$ 19,899,091.53) as per notice dated
17th February, 2020. No provision has been considered for the above claim
for the reasons stated therein. The matter described in above has uncertainties
related to the outcome of the legal proceedings and hence we are unable to
quantify the provisions for above claim at this stage, if any, and its consequential
impacts on the financial statements of the Company.

We concluded 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
Responsibility 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
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements 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 are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw your attention to:-

(i) Note 27.2 to the Standalone Financial Statements, regarding invocation of
corporate guarantee given by the company to the lender of JBF Petrochemicals

Ltd. ("JPL”). The company has denied above invocation and is of the view that
above invocation is not tenable for the reasons explained therein and hence
no provision against the claims under the invoked corporate guarantee is
considered necessary.

(ii) Note 36 to the Standalone Financial Statements that Company's secured assets
including the manufacturing plants situated in Sarigam, Athola and Saily are no
longer in the possession of the Company. Further, the management is also of
the view that the operations of the Company without the manufacturing plants
will be severely affected. With effect from 1st December, 2O22 manufacturing
operations from all locations have been discontinued. The Company's ability to
sustain itself and generate revenues has been critically dented. Further, there is
a significant and material impact on the "going concern" status of the Company
and its future operations. The company has also transferred MAT credit
entitlement of X 64.09 Crores to Statement of Audited Financial Results under
the head Tax Expenses "Short/(Excess) Provision of Tax of Earlier Years (Net)”
as there is no possibility of earning revenue in future. The Company will find it
difficult to meets its financial commitments. Therefore, the company ceases to
continue as a going concern.

Further, the Company has received demand notice from Tamilnad Mercantile Bank
Ltd, (TMBL) under Section 13(2) of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial
Ass ets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2OO2 ("Sarfaesi Act") and the
Rules framed thereunder for recovery of their dues vide letter dated 23rd November,
2O21 amounting to X 32.94 Crores plus future interest as applicable thereon in terms
of loan agreement. TMBL has denied to release the charge on assets of the company.
However, the remaining 14 lenders have assigned their debts to Asset Reconstruction
Company CFM on dated 13.08.2021 and also transferred all the assets (fixed assets,
investment and currents assets) of the company to CFM on dated 11.11.2O21. CFM
has taken physical possession of all secured assets of JBF.

CFM has sent intimation for sale of all the secured assets of the company to Madelin
Enterprises Private Limited (MEPL) for total consideration of X 881 Crores on dated
11.O5.2O22.

However, TMBL has not agreed to the decision of remaining 14 lenders, therefore,
it has in principal charge over the secured assets of the company on pro-rata basis,
which have been subsequently transferred to CFM and finally to MEPL.

Thereafter, TMBL approached NCLT Ahmedabad for recovery of their dues from the
Company and CFM. The matter is now pending before the NCLT Ahmedabad and it
is subjudice.

(iii) Note 41 to the statement, regarding non-preparation of consolidated financial
statement due to the reasons mentioned therein. The company has subsidiaries
and is required to present consolidated financial results. The Company has not
prepared and presented the consolidated financial statements/results required
by Companies Act, 2013 and IND AS 110 "Consolidated Financial Statements”
and the Listing Regulation. However, as on 31st March 2023, M/s. Madelin
Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., has acquired the holding of JBF Industries Ltd. in its
Subsidiary Company JBF Global Pte Limited situated at Singapore under the
Sarfaesi Act but pending transfer of shares in the name of Madelin Enterprises
Pvt. Ltd., the shares are still in the company as on date.

(iv) Note 45 to the standalone financial statements, regarding the vacancy of the
post of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial officer since 1st May,
2019 and 1st July 2023 due to the reason as mention therein.

(v) The company has not appointed any Internal Auditor, which is required by
section 138 of the Companies Act 2013.

(vi) The company has paid remuneration to Directors amounting to ? 1,70,26,048
as against the maximum limit of X 60 Lacs as laid down under Schedule V of
the Companies Act, 2013, which is in excess of limit laid down under section
197 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

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 year. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinionon these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion, Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern & Emphasis of matters section, we
havedetermined the matters described below to be key audit matters to be communicated in our report

Other Information

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the management discussion & analysis and director's report included in
the annual report but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears 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 communicate the matter to those charged
with governance. 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 Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements
thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also
includesmaintenance 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 fraudsand other Irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of theaccounting 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.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
mattersrelated 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
realisticalternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

The Company was admitted under CIRP vide an order dated 25.01.2024 passed by the National Company of Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench and the management of the
Company is undertaken by the Resolution Professional and the powers of the Board of Directors stand suspended w.e.f. 25.01.2024.

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 guar¬
antee 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 theseStandalone Financial Statements.

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, 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 financial controls 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 Standalone Financial
Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• 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 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 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 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.

• 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of
our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

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 where applicable, related
safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, wedetermine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements of the current year 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.
