We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Hotel Leelaventure Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2017, the Statement of Profit and Loss and 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 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.

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 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 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 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 “Going Concern”. 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.

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.

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".

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hotel Leelaventure Limited ("the Company") which comprises the Balance Sheet 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.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

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.

Opinion

(b) In the case of Profit and Loss Account, of the loss for the year ended on that date; and

(c) In the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the Cash Flows for the year ended on that date.

Impairment loss of assets which the Company is planning to sell for deleveraging the Balance Sheet is not recognised. Pending receipt of binding offers, we are unable to comment on the consequential effects on the financial statements.

(b) Note 30.1 relating to non–recognition of impairment loss relating to a project in Mumbai held up for substantial period amounting to Rs. 13,805 lakhs on the basis of Management''s assessment that an amicable settlement would be reached and project would be implemented.
