Revenue under Railway customer does not include Rs.72779 lakhs (Previous year Rs.82091
lakhs) biiled on behalf of the consortium by the company.
b. Segmental Capital Employed:
Fixed assets used in Company’s business or liabilities incurred have not been identified to any
of the reportable segments, as the fixed assets are used interchangeably between segments.
The Company believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating
to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous
c. Secondary Reporting
Since, more than 90% of total sales is within India, geographical reporting is considered not
applicable.
H. Advances, balances with government departments, trade payables and receivables, other loans and
advances and deposits classified under non curent and current are subject to confirmation. There
are certain old balances pending review / adjustment. The management does not expect any significant
impact upon such reconciliation.
I. The Accounts for the year approved by the Board of Directors and certified by the Statutory Auditors
on 31.05.2012 were revised in the light of the C&AG’s observations under section 619(4) of the
Companies Act, 1956 by adding Note No. 19.a. There is no impact on the financial figures.
J. Figures of previous year have been regrouped / reclassified / recast wherever necessary to conform
to current year’s presentation.

Auditors’ Report

To the Members of BEML Limited,

1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of BEML Limited as at 31st March 2012, the Statement
of Profit and Loss and the cash flow statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We have issued an audit report dated 31st May 2012 at Bangalore on the financial statements as
adopted by the Board of Directors on that date. Pursuant to observation of Comptroller and Auditor
General of India under section 619(4) of the Companies Act 1956, the company has incorporated
Note 19(a) by way of additional disclosure and its consequential impact in Note No. 30(I). This
additional disclosure does not have any impact on the reported figures in the financial statements of
the company and hence the audit report on the financial statements of the company incorporating
above two notes after its adoption by the Board of Directors is reissued without any changes.
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
4. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 as amended by Companies (Auditor’s

status of the company.

requirement of reporting on the reasonability of such transactions having regard to the prevailing
the market prices made in pursuance of such contracts does not arise.
6. According to the informations and explanation given to us and in our opinion the company has not
accepted any deposit from the public within the meaning of provisions of Sec 58A, 58AA of the

Industrial Ltda, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 185.64 lakhs as at 31st March
2012 and total revenue of Rs. 2.62 lakhs and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 183.62 lakhs for the
period then ended so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect if this subsidiary is based
solely on the such un- audited financial statements certified by the management.
6. As explained in Note 14(a) the control in MAMC Industries Limited is considered as temporary
till it is converted to a joint venture company upon finalization of Joint Venture Agreement. As
per the accounting principles, the financial statements should have been consolidated either as a
subsidiary or as a joint venture. The effects on the financial statements of the failure to consolidate
this company have not been determined.
