The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies(Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended). This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting 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 accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the 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.
Auditors Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.
4. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
5. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these standalone financial statements are free from material misstatement.
6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Companys preparation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companys Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone financial statements.
7. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on these standalone financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
8. As explained in note 45 to the standalone financial statements, the Companys short term borrowings and other current liabilities as at March 31, 2017 include balance payable to various lender banks amounting to Rs.7,586,441,082 and Rs.15,700,359,440 respectively. These lender banks have taken an exit from Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell on October 10, 2016. As a result, the accounting for these balances should be as per the original agreements entered with such lender banks. However, in absence of definitive agreement with the banks with respect to calculation of interest and loan liability and reconciliation of outstanding debt with the lender banks, we are unable to comment upon the possible impact of such exit in carrying value of aforesaid short term borrowings, other current liabilities as on March 31, 2017 and interest expense (including penal interest, if any) for the year ended March 31, 2017 and the consequential impact on the accompanying standalone financial statements.
9. As explained in note 13(b) to the standalone financial statements, the Company has fixed assets aggregating to Rs.4,170,872,372 in respect of which management recorded an impairment loss of Rs.610,000,000 in year ended March 31, 2017. In the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to the uncertainty underlying the assumptions used in the long term projections referred to in note 13(b), we are unable to comment on the carrying value of aforesaid fixed assets as at March 31, 2017 and the consequential impact, if any, on the accompanying standalone financial statements.
10. As explained in note 47(a) to the standalone financial statements, the Company has an investment of Rs.166,865,334, trade receivables amounting Rs.344,190,858 and short term loans and advances (net of payables of Rs.14,409,834) amounting to Rs.4,270,919 in a wholly owned subsidiary as at March 31, 2017, being considered good and recoverable by the management. These balances are after netting off provision for diminution in value of investment and provision for doubtful trade receivables of Rs.247,643,000 and Rs.574,834,277 respectively already recorded by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2017. However, in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of uncertainty underlying the assumptions used in the long term projections as referred to in the said note, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of these investments, trade receivables and short term loans and advances as at March 31, 2017, and provision for diminution in value of investment and doubtful trade receivable for the year ended March 31, 2017 and the consequential impact on the accompanying standalone financial statements.
Qualified Opinion
11. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph,the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2017, its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
12. We draw attention to note 48 of the standalone financial statement which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs.11,139,560,016 during the year ended March 31, 2017 and, as of that date, the Companys accumulated losses amounted to Rs.34,744,579,031 resulting in complete erosion of its net worth. Further, as of that date, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs.33,984,160,899. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 48 indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Annexure II to the Independent Auditors Report of even date to the members of Moser Baer India Limited, on the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017
Independent Auditors report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
1. In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of Moser Baer India Limited ("the Company") as of and for the year ended March 31, 2017, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (IFCoFR) of the Company of as of that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the Guidance Note) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ICAI). These responsibilities include the design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Companys business, including adherence to Companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate IFCoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR included obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Companys IFCoFR
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. A Companys IFCoFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Companys IFCoFR includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorisa-tions of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the standalone financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
7. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Qualified Opinion
8. According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the Companys IFCoFR as at March 31, 2017: (a) The Company has been unable to determine the impact of exit from CDR scheme on interest expense and carrying value of short term borrowings and other current liabilities in the absence of definitive agreement with the banks with respect to calculation of interest and loan liability and reconciliation of outstanding debt with lender banks. In the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the operating effectiveness of controls over the carrying value of short term borrowings, other current liabilities as at March 31, 2017 and interest expense.
(b) We have not been provided sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to uncertainty underlying the assumptions used in the long term projections for assessing the recoverable value of fixed assets. In the absence of such sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the operating effectiveness of controls over completeness and accuracy of assumptions used in the long term projections and its potential impact on value of fixed assets as March 31, 2017 and depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense for the year.
(c) We have not been provided sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to uncertainty underlying the assumptions used in the long term projections for assessing the carrying value of investment, trade receivables and short term loan and advances in a wholly owned subsidiary. In the absence of such sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the operating effectiveness of controls over completeness and accuracy of assumptions used in the long term projections and its potential impact on carrying value of investment and provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of investment.
9. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in IFCoFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
10. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and except for the possible effects of the material wea knesses described above in paragraph 8 on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2017. 11. We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017, and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the financial statements of the Company and we have issued a modified opinion on the financial statements.

Managements Views:Not applicable e. For Audit Qualification(s) where the impact is not quantified by the auditor:
(i) Managements estimation on the impact of audit qualification: - Unable to estimate.
(ii) If management is unable to estimate the impact, reasons for the same: a) In absence of definitive agreement with the banks with respect to calculation of interest and loan liability, management is unable to comment upon the impact of such exit on the carrying value of aforesaid short term borrowings, other current liabilities and interest expense for the financial year ended 31 March 2017 and the consequential impact on the accompanying consolidated financial results. b) As of 31 March 2017, management performed detailed assessment of impairment (using an independent valuation expert) of carrying value of fixed assets based on business valuation. Such assessment is based on the ability of the company to continue to operate its business over the foreseeable future and is therefore, impacted by the future outcome of certain matters such as negotiation with lenders banks for debt restructuring and revival of business operations. As per such assessment, Impairment of fixed assets for Rs. 6,100 lakhs has been made during the year. No further impairment in the carrying value of fixed assets is required. c) As on 31 March 2017, management performed an assessment of impairment for its investments (using an independent valuation expert) in and advances/other receivables from one of the subsidiary company, Moser Baer Entertainment Limited as of 31 March 2017 to determine if there is any "other than temporary" diminution in the values of the investment and if outstanding receivables are recoverable. The future cash flows used in such assessment are dependent on the assumption of acceptance of debt resolution plan by lender banks of the Company and ability of this subsidiary company to continue to operate its business over the foreseeable future with the Company. Basis aforementioned assessment management has recorded an other than temporary provision for diminution in value of investment amounting to Rs. 2,476 lakhs and Rs. 5,748 lakhs towards provision for doubtful debts during the year ended 31 March 2017.
