Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the Standalone financial statements of TV Vision Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the statement of Profit and Loss, statement of Changes in Equity and the statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to explanation given to us, except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion and Material Uncertainty relating to Going Concern section of our report, the accompanying standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 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, and its loss, position of changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

i) Due to defaults in repayment of loans taken from the Banks,the Account of the Company has been classified as Non-Performing Asset by the banks in the previous financial years and the banks have not charged the interest / reversed the unpaid interest charged from the date the account has been classified as Non-Performing. No provision has been made in the books of accounts maintained by the Company for interest / penal interest,if any,on these term loans amounting to about Rs. 1,386.82 Lakhs (exact amount cannot be ascertained) for the year ending March 31,2023, hence to that extent,finance cost,total loss and current financial liabilities is estimated to be understated by about Rs. 1,386.82 Lakhs (exact amount cannot be ascertained) for the year ending March 31,2023.

Further,no provision for interest / penal interest,if any,on such term loans has been made in books of accounts,from the date the account of the Company has been classified as Non-Performing in the books of those banks. Also,such loan outstanding balances as per books of accounts are subject to confirmation / reconciliation with the balance as per banks as on March 31,2023. Also,bank balances totalling to Rs. 0.33 Lakhs are subject to confirmation / reconciliation as on March 31,2023 due to non-availability of bank statements /balance confirmation received from such banks,as represented to us by the Company.

ii) No provision for dimunition in value of investment is made in books of accounts as on March 31,2023 even though the fair value of Investment of the Company of Rs. 300 Lakhs in Equity Shares of the CompanysSubsidiary Companies i.e. HHP Broadcasting Services Private Limited,MPCR Broadcasting Service Private Limited,UBJ Broadcasting Private Limited and Rs. 3,012 Lakhs in CompanysAssociate Company i.e. Krishna Showbiz Services Private Limited,is lower than their cost of acquisition. The loss for the year ended March 31,2023 is understated and non-current investments of the Company as on March 31,2023 are overstated to that extent.

iii) The aggregate carrying value of Business and Commercial Rights and Channel Development Cost in the books of the Company as on March 31,2023 is Rs. 5,869.33 Lakhs. There is no revenue generation from monetization of these assets during the year ended March 31,2023 due to which the Company has incurred substantial losses during the year ended March 31,2023 and previous financial years. There is a strong indication of impairment in the value of these Business and Commercial Rights and Channel Development Cost and therefore we are of the opinion that the impairment loss of Rs. 5,869.33 Lakhs should be provided on all such assets in the books of accounts of the Company as on March 31, 2023. The assets of the Company are overstated and net loss for the year ended March 31,2023 is understated to that extent.

iv) The Company has not provided for loss allowances on financial guarantee contracts amounting to Rs.1,159.80 Lakhs (excluding interest / penalty charges,if any) given by the Company on behalf of its related group companies to its secured lenders which is to be recognized as required by Indian Accounting Standard (IND-AS 109). The financial liabilities of the Company and net loss for the year ended March 31,2023 is understated to that extent.

Further,as per the information and explanations provided to us by the management,currently a Resolution plan of the Group Company given by Resolution Applicant,which includes the extinguishment of the Corporate Guarantees given by the Company,has been approved by majority of Committee of Creditors of that Group Company and the same is pending for approval before HonbleNCLT. The financial impact / disclosure,if any,will be provided by the Company on receiving the final approval of the Resolution Plan from HonbleNCLT and on complying with all the terms and conditions of the approved Resolution Plan.

v) The Company has not accounted the lease transactions as per requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (IND AS-116) which is applicable from April 1,2020. The impact,if any,of such non-compliance of IND-AS 116 on the financials of the Company for the year ended March 31,2023 is unascertainable.

vi) Inter-Company Related Party outstanding balance with Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Limited as on March 31, 2023 is subject to confirmation / reconciliation. The impact,if any,due to non-reconciliation of Inter-Company accounts on the financial statements of the Company as on March 31,2023 is unascertainable.

vii) The Company has not provided for Interest expenses on late payment of Carriage Fees and other Operational Cost payable to various vendors whose balances are outstanding as on March 31,2023 which needs to be accounted as per the applicable Indian Accounting Standards as the same is payable to the vendors as per the agreements entered into with them. Further,the working for such interest expenses on late payment of such expenses has not been made by the Company,due to which the exact amount of provision for interest cannot be ascertained as on March 31,2023. The financial liabilities of the Company and net loss for the year ended March 31,2023,due to non-accounting of provision for interest,are understated to that extent.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities 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 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern

i) The financial statements are prepared on going concern basis as per Note No. 28 forming part of financial statements notwithstanding the fact that loans have been recalled back by secured lenders, current liabilities are substantially higher than the current assets, issue of notices under Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002, recovery proceedings initiated with debt recovery tribunal, symbolic possession of mortgaged property provided as collateral by promoters, invocation of part of the shares pledged as collaterals by bank, invocation of corporate guarantees from guarantors of the loan by the secured lenders of the Company and substantial losses incurred by the Company during the year ending March 31, 2023 and negative Total Equity of Rs. 6,068.29 Lakhs as on March 31, 2023. All of the above conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the companys ability to continue as a going concern.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon

The Companys Board of Directors / Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Boards report and Management Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the Secretarial Audit report, Standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Boards report and Management Discussion and Analysis is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available 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.

When we read the Boards report and Management Discussion and Analysis, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and make disclosures and take specific actions as per applicable laws and regulations, if required.

Key Audit Matters

Except for the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors / Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 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 these financial statements.

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

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(I) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 management / resolution professional.

Conclude on the appropriateness of managements 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieve fair presentation.

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 to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditors 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.

“ANNEXURE B” FORMING PART OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of TV Vision Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys management 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 its 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting 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 financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 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 financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
