Managementâs Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134 (5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that shall 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 specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the 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.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.
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.
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 requirement and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the 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 Companyâs Directors as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Opinion
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 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 31st March 2017 and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the standalone financial statements:
i. Note 29.1(c) relating to non-provision of Sacrifice amount, interest and penal interest payable to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) amounting Rs.73,327 lakhs for the year (Previous Year Rs.72,704 lakhs), cumulatively amounting to Rs.2,24,272 lakhs. (Previous Year Rs.1,50,945 lakhs.)
ii. Note 29.2(a) relating to enhancement in rentals and unilateral termination of lease agreement of the Mumbai Hotel by Airports Authority of India (AAI) and eviction proceedings initiated by them which the Company is contesting. No provision is made for enhanced rent amounting Rs.1,657 lakhs (Previous year Rs.1,615 lakhs) and cumulatively amounting Rs.3,898 lakhs (Previous Year Rs.2,241 lakhs). Further, the accounts are prepared on the assumption that the lease would be renewed and no provision is made for losses on account of such eviction, if any, which is not ascertainable.
iii. Note 29.2(b) relating to non-provision of disputed amounts to AAI amounting to Rs.28,538 lakhs towards 11,000 sq. meters of land at Mumbai and the additional cost the Company may have to incur towards restoration of FSI , which is not ascertainable.
iv. If interest and other costs as notified by the Asset Reconstruction Companies and disputed payments of AAI referred above were provided for in the books, the loss for the year would have been higher by Rs.1,03,522 lakhs (Previous Year Rs.74,319 lakhs), liabilities and negative net worth would have been higher by another Rs.2,56,708 lakhs (Previous Year Rs.1,53,186 lakhs). Further, losses and negative net worth will increase to the extent of cost that the Company may have to incur on account of termination of lease agreement of Mumbai Hotel and cost of vacating 11,000 sq.meters of land at Mumbai
v. The above issues raises question on whether the Company can be considered as a âGoing Concernâ. However, as the Company is hopeful of a viable restructuring package and favourable judgement / settlement relating to AAI disputes, as explained by them in the notes, it has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
Hotel Leelaventure Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, and the
Cash Flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's 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 shall
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 specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts ) Rules, 2014. 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; the selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and the 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit.
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.
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 the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the 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 Company's Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.
Opinion
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 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, 2015 and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
financial statements:
Note 31.3 regarding the Company's liabilities, net worth and interest
provision. The negative net worth as on March 31, 2015 was Rs.
38,602.98 lakhs. The loss for the year and negative net worth would
have been higher by another Rs. 78,240.90 lakhs, if interest and other
finance cost as notified by Asset Reconstruction Companies were
provided for in the books of the current year. The negative net worth
could go up further if the amount realised on sale of assets is less
than the book value. This raises question on whether the Company can be
considered as a " Going Concern". However, as the Company is hopeful of
a viable restructuring package as explained by them in the note and
accordingly has prepared the financial statements on a going concern
basis.

as at 31st March, 2014 the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash
Flow statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these 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 Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the
Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013
of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 and in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the
information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a
