INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT
To the Members of PVP Ventures Limited
Report on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of PVP Ventures Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2018, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements based on our audit. In conducting 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 there under.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements 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 Standalone Financial Statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our Qualified audit opinion on Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As stated in Note No: 25.3 to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, in relation to investment in equity shares includes investments in two subsidiary companies net off provision made amounting to Rs. 24,528.90 Lakhs, and loans and advances to subsidiary companies of net off provision made amounting to Rs. 31,499.83 Lakhs. The management is of the view that considering the market value of the assets and expected cash flows from the business of these subsidiary companies the provision already made is adequate. Considering erosion in the net worth of the subsidiary companies and are their dependence on the holding company to continue as a going concern, absence of cash flows, delay in commencement of projects and other related factors indicate the existence of material uncertainty in carrying the value of investments and loans and advances at cost less provision already made. Hence we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these net carrying amounts are necessary and additional provision for diminution, if any, to be made are not quantifiable at this point of time.
Qualified Opinion
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 matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion Paragraph, the aforesaid Standalone Ind AS 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 (financial position) of the Company as at 31st March 2018, and its profits (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to
a) As stated in Note No: 25.4(3) to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, the company mortgaged perambur land as a security to the lenders for the borrowings made by third parties and the borrowers have not repaid the loan along with interest to the lenders on the due dates. The outstanding loan by these companies as on 31st March 2018 is Rs. 2,866.02 Lakhs. The realizable value of mortgaged assets is dependent on the repayment of the loans by the third parties. The management asserts that no adjustment to the carrying value is required as it is confident that the payment obligations will be met by the third party borrower in due course. Relying on the same no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of the assets.
b) As stated in Note No: 25.5 to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, the obligations towards disputed income tax matters amounting to Rs. 1,783.25 Lakhs are pending before different judicial forums. Pending disposal of these appeals the eventual obligation in this regard is unascertainable at this time. Based on the management''s assessment and based on the experts view on the merits of the dispute, no provision is considered necessary in this regard.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

ANNEXURE-B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S 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 PVP Ventures Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s 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 as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''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 its business, including adherence to company''s 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 Company''s 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 auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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 company''s 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 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone 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.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit procedure performed, the following material weakness has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the company''s Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting as at 31st March 2018:
The company''s internal financial controls in respect of supervisory and review controls over process of determining of
a) Carrying value of the company''s non-current investments in its subsidiaries and
b) Recoverability of loans to its subsidiaries included under Non-current investments.
Absences of aforesaid assessment in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India could potentially result in a material misstatement in the carrying value of investments in such subsidiaries and the aforesaid dues from such subsidiaries and consequently, could also impact the profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income) after tax.
A ''material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the company has, maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2018, based on internal control over financial reporting 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.
We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PVP Ventures Limited (herein after referred to "the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Financial Statements).
MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 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 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 specified 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; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of 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 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 there under.
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 the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosure in the financial statements. These procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risk 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 Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the financial statements.
BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION
Attention is drawn to the (a) Note 12 in notes to the financial statements with regard to the investment in equity shares of subsidiary companies with provision made, (b) Note 13 loans and advances to subsidiary companies. The management is of the view that considering the market value of the assets and expected cash flows from the business of these subsidiary companies the provision already made are adequate. However considering the net worth of the subsidiary companies is negative, dependence on the parent to continue as a going concern, absence of cash flows, delay in commencement of projects and other related factors indicate that the existence of material uncertainty in carrying the value of investments and loans and advances at cost less provision already made. Hence we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these net carrying amounts are necessary and additional provision for diminution, if any, to be made are not quantifiable.
QUALIFIED OPINION
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except to the possible effects of the matters described in Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the aforesaid 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, 2016, and their Profit, and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS
We draw the attention to (a) the Note No.24.6 with regard to the Income Taxes disputed before respective authorities, which describes the uncertainty related to the outcome of the Appeals filed against the Orders of the Authorities; and (b) the Note No.24.6.4 with regard to the security by way of mortgage of property given to the lenders for the borrowings by other body corporate and they have not repaid the loan with interest to the lenders. All these items describe the uncertainty related to the outcome of the future events. Our opinion in respect of these matters is not modified.

The Company''s 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 (âICAI''). 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 company''s 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 Company''s 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 Noteâ) 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 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 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 auditor''s judgment, 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 Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A company''s 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 company''s 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 unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s 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.
QUALIFIED OPINION
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following weakness has been identified as at 31st March, 2016. "The Companies internal control system for advance given to subsidiary companies and investments in subsidiary companies, which could potentially result in existence of uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the recoverability or otherwise of these advances and investments and thereby non provision for the shortfall as at the balance sheet date could not have been reasonably established".
A material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2016, 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 issued by the ICAI.
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 March 31, 2016 standalone financial statements of the Company, and the material weaknesses does affect our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PVP Ventures
(the Company), which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March, 31 2013
and the Statement of Profit and Loss and 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 referred to in sub- section (3C) of section
211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act). This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair 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 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 the
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. These
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessment, 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the management, 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 qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion:
Attention is drawn to the (a) Note 12 in notes to the financial
statements with regard to the investment in equity shares of subsidiary
companies at cost C54718.10 lakhs with provision for diminution in
carrying value provided for C30358.10 lakhs, (b) investment in
Redeemable Non-convertible Debentures of subsidiary company of
C24832.00 lakhs, and (c) Note 13 in notes to the financial statements
with regard to Unsecured Loans to subsidiary companies of C43660.75
lakhs with provision for doubtful advances made for C5160.16 lakhs. The
management is of the view that considering the market value of the
assets and expected cashflows from the business of these subsidiary
companies the provision already made are adequate. However considering
the networth of the subsidiary companies are negative, dependence on
the parent to continue as a going concern and other related factors
indicate that the existence of material uncertainty in carrying the
value of investments and loans and advances at cost less provision
already made. Hence we were unable to determine whether any adjustments
to these amounts were necessary.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except to the possible effects of the matters
described in Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the 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

1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of PVP Ventures Limited
as at 31st March 2010, the Profit and Loss Account and also the Cash
Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe
financial statements a re 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.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 issued
by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of
section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
Order.
4. Attention is drawn to Note No 4 in Schedule 75 to the financial
statements regarding preparation of financial statements on a going
concern basis. The Company has been incurring cash losses for the last
4 years as there is no significant business income to meet the
operating and administration expenses. The interest due on debentures
of Rs. 123.58crores has been waived for the current and previous years
by the holding company. The Companys ability to service its debts and
continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful
implementation of the project referred in the Note. These conditions
along with other matters as set forth in the Note, indicate the
existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt
about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

above, we report that:
(i) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our

directors, as on 31st March 2010 and taken on record by the Board of
Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
31st March 2010 from being appointed as a director of the Company in
terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies
Act, 1 956;
(v) In view of the significant losses made by the companies in which
investments have been made and advances have been given and also in
view of the significant down-turn in the real estate sector, we are
unable to quantify the exact provision required for the following
faj diminution other than temporary, if any, in the carrying value of
the Companys long term investments in the form of equity shares and
debentures aggregating to Rs 247.42 crores
(b) long pending advances to subsidiaries aggregating to Rs
187.29crores and other bodies corporate aggregating to Rs 8.53 crores.
