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 63 moons technologies limited [formerly Financial Technologies (India) Limited] (‘the Company’) as of 31 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 (‘the Guidance Note’) 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 the 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 Act.

AUDITOR’S 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 and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations 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 company’s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind AS 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.

OPINION

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, 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.

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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. 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 qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As stated by the Management of the Company in Note 57 to the standalone financial Statement, Writ Petitions (WP), Public Interest Litigation (PIL), Civil Suits have been fled against the Company in relation to NSEL event, wherein the Company has been made a party in the WP and Civil Suits. These matters are pending at various stages of adjudication. As stated in the said note, based on legal advice, the management of the Company does not foresee that the parties who have fled the W P, PIL, Civil Suits would be able to sustain any claim against the Company. In addition, as stated by the management in note 57 and 59 to the standalone financial Statement, there are First Information Reports registered against various parties including the Company with the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police (EOW), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and MIDC, Police Station, Mumbai District.

In this regard, the Management and those charged with Governance have represented to us that other than as stated in the said note to the Statement, there are no claims, litigations, potential settlements involving the Company directly or indirectly which require adjustments to/disclosures in the Statement.

In the light of the above representations regarding the ongoing investigations and matters, the outcome of which is not known and is uncertain at this stage, we are unable to comment on the consequential impact in respect of the same on the results for the year ended March 31, 2015.

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 specified under '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, 2015, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter

1. We draw attention to Note 61 to the standalone financial statements, regarding utilisation of unexpired MAT credit entitlement by the Company. The Company has a total MAT credit entitlement of Rs. 19,270.02 Lakhs as at March 31, 2015 including recognition of Rs. 10,081.20 Lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2015. Based on the projections as made by the Company's management regarding income-tax liability of the Company, Management is of the view that the Company will be able to utilise the unexpired MAT credit entitlement in projected years.

2. We draw attention to Note 55 to the standalone financial statements, which describe the receipt of the draft order proposing amalgamation of National Spot Exchange Limited with the Company. The Company has fled a Writ Petition before the Honourable Bombay High Court challenging the said order.

3. We draw attention to Note 56 to the standalone financial statements. Government of India has fled a petition with Company Law Board under the Companies Act, 1956 seeking inter alia removal and supersession of the Board of Directors of the Company, which has been protested by the Company and the matter is pending before CLB for consideration.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters of emphasis.

1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES (INDIA) LIMITED ("the Company") which comprise 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 the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

2. National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) is a subsidiary of the Company in which it holds 99.99% equity share capital. In the light of the investment of the Company in NSEL and the transactions between the Company and NSEL, the financial statements of NSEL for the year ended 31st March, 2013, which were audited by other auditors, had a direct and material impact and bearing on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2013.

Pursuant to the developments relating to NSEL, the management of NSEL, by their letter dated 20th September 2013, had communicated to its auditors and the Company that it was not possible for NSEL to immediately ascertain the financial implications (with respect to, inter alia, the various irregularities in the operations of NSEL coming to light, agencies looking at the legality of contracts and warehouse receipts and income booked by NSEL therefrom, ongoing investigations and forensic audit) and whether its books and records presented as of 31st March, 2013 were true and fair and what adjustments were needed to be carried out with a view to present a correct financial position. Consequently, the auditors of NSEL and its subsidiary, Indian Bullion Market Association Limited (IBMA), in which NSEL has 60.88% equity ownership, citing various developments, investigations and audits relating to NSEL, had communicated to NSEL and IBMA, by their letters dated 21st September, 2013, that the standalone and consolidated financial statements of NSEL and the standalone financial statements of IBMA for the year ended 31st March, 2013 and their audit reports dated 17th May, 2013 and 16th May, 2013 on the said financial statements of NSEL and IBMA, respectively, are no longer to be relied upon.

3. In view of the aforesaid communications dated 20th September, 2013 and 21st September, 2013 from the management and the auditors of NSEL, respectively, provided to us by the Management of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Standard on Auditing (SA) 560 - Subsequent Events, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), we communicated to the Management and those charged with Governance of the Company on 23rd September, 2013 that our audit report dated 30th May, 2013 on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2013 should no longer be relied upon. Subsequently, by our audit report dated 29th November, 2013, we issued a qualified opinion on the financial statements (as amended) of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2013 which comprised the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2013, 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, and the supplementary notes which are an addendum to the accompanying notes 1 to 48 to the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2013 and which have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 29th November, 2013 [together "the financial statements (as amended)"].

As represented to us by the Management of the Company, the audited financial statements of NSEL for the years ended 31st March, 2013 and 31st March, 2014 are not yet available.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

4. The Company''s 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") (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) 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

5. 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 ICAI. 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.

6. 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 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 the 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.

7. Except as indicated in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraphs below, 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

8. The following matters were qualified in our audit report dated 29th November, 2013, on the financial statements (as amended) for the year ended 31st March, 2013 and continue to be subject matters of qualification:

(a) As stated in Note 52 to the financial statements, the Company had recognised income of Rs. 3,452.00 lacs during the year ended 31st March, 2013 from rendering of various services to NSEL, which included a variable component of Rs. 2,927.60 lacs. As on 31st March, 2013, the total amount receivable from NSEL on this account was Rs. 2,489.27 lacs, which has been realised subsequently during the current financial year.

The above variable component comprised:

(i) revenue of Rs. 2,841.46 lacs towards software maintenance and support services derived on the basis of the underlying revenue recognised by NSEL on account of "transaction fees, delivery charges, warehouse receipt transfer charges for trading, settlement and delivery activities" for the year ended 31st March, 2013, pursuant to agreements/contracts; and

(ii) revenue of Rs. 86.14 lacs towards business support services derived on the basis of the underlying gross profits earned on the merchandising activities by NSEL for the year ended 31st March, 2013.

However, as stated in paragraph 2 above, the management of NSEL had communicated that they were not in a position to determine whether its books and records presented as of 31st March, 2013 were true and fair and what adjustments were needed to be carried out with a view to present a correct financial position due to, inter alia, the various irregularities in the operations of NSEL coming to light, agencies looking at the legality of contracts and warehouse receipts and income booked by NSEL therefrom, ongoing investigations and forensic audit. Consequently, the auditors of NSEL, citing various developments, investigations and audits relating to NSEL, had also communicated that the financial statements of NSEL for the year ended 31st March, 2013 and their audit reports thereon were no longer to be relied upon. Further, as represented to us by the Management of the Company, the audited financial statements of NSEL for the year ended 31st March, 2013 are not yet available.

In view of our aforesaid comments and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, particularly, in the absence of the audited financial statements of NSEL for the year ended 31st March, 2013, which we could have placed reliance on to validate the underlying elements of revenue and gross profits of NSEL based on which the above mentioned variable component of revenue were derived and accounted for by the Company, significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that could be derived from rendering the service and, hence, we are unable to determine the extent to which the above mentioned revenue aggregating Rs. 2,927.60 lacs should be de-recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2014 and postponed by the Company, in compliance with the recognition and measurement principles stated in Accounting Standard (AS) 9, ''Revenue Recognition''.

(b) As stated by the Management of the Company in Note 55 to the financial statements, Writ Petitions, Public Interest Litigations, Civil Suits have been filed against the Company in relation to the NSEL event, wherein the Company has been made a party in the Writ Petitions and Civil Suits, and these matters are pending adjudication. In addition, there is a First Information Report registered, inter alia, against the Company with the Economic Offences Wing. Further, as stated in the said Note 55 to the financial statements, based on legal advice, the Management of the Company does not foresee that the parties who have filed the Writ Petitions, Public Interest Litigations, Civil Suits would be able to sustain any claim against the Company. In this regard, the Management and those charged with Governance have represented to us that other than as stated in the said Note 55 to the financial statements, there are no claims, litigations, potential settlements involving the Company directly or indirectly which require adjustments to/disclosures in the financial statements.

In the light of the above representations regarding the ongoing investigations and matters, the outcome of which is not known and is uncertain as on date, we are unable to comment on the consequential impact in respect of the same on these financial statements.

(c) No provision was considered necessary by the Management of the Company for diminution in the value of the Company''s long-term investment in NSEL of Rs. 4,499.99 lacs as at 31st March, 2013.

In view of the aforesaid developments relating to NSEL, which represented a subsequent discovery of facts existing on the date of the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2013, in our opinion, there were indications of ''other than temporary'' diminution in the carrying amount of the Company''s investment in NSEL as at 31st March, 2013. However, in the absence of the audited financial statements of NSEL for the year ended 31st March, 2013 (refer paragraph 2 above), non-availability of estimation of future cash flows and earning capacity of NSEL and suspension of NSEL''s operations, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the amount of provision that would have been needed to be made for diminution in the carrying amount of the Company''s investment in NSEL of Rs. 4,499.99 lacs as at 31st March, 2013, in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 13, ''Accounting for Investments''.

However, as stated in Note 51 to the financial statements, during the year ended 31st March, 2014, on a conservative basis, the Company has made a provision, towards diminution, other than temporary, in the value of the entire amount of its long term investment of Rs. 4,499.99 lacs in NSEL and has charged the same to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2014.

9. We are informed that, on the directions of the Forward Markets Commission, a special audit was carried out by an external agency in respect of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) covering, inter alia, the agreements and transactions between MCX and the Company. MCX has, on 26th May, 2014, submitted the scanned copy of the special audit report dated 21st April, 2014 for dissemination on the website of BSE Limited (Refer Note 59 to the financial statements).

We are unable to comment on the consequential impact, if any, in respect of the above matter on these financial statements.

10. As stated in Note 50 to the financial statements, the Company has investments in certain subsidiaries and a jointly controlled entity, aggregating Rs. 12,590.95 lacs and has granted loans and advances to / receivables from these entities, aggregating Rs. 90,758.89 lacs [which exclude NSEL and its subsidiaries - refer paragraph 8 (c) above]. The net worth of most of these entities has been eroded/substantially eroded. A provision / adjustment of Rs. 8,681.71 lacs (including Rs. 6,944.45 lacs during the year) has been made, inter alia, for diminution, other than temporary, in the value of investments and a provision of Rs. 15,150.00 lacs has been made during the year for doubtful loans and advances, which the Management of the Company considers to be adequate.

In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, particularly, in the absence of a fair valuation of the aforesaid investments at the balance sheet date being provided to us, we are unable to determine the adequacy of the provisions made.

11. As stated in Note 45 to the financial statements, the directives of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) by its Order dated 19th March, 2014 requires the Company to divest its investments referred therein within ninety days from the date of the Order. These include 27,165,000 Equity Shares of Re 1 each and 562,460,000 Warrants of Re 1 each (each Warrant will entitle the holder to one Equity Share) both in MCX Stock Exchange Limited and 5,750,000 Equity Shares of Rs 10 each in MCX-SX Clearing Corporation Limited which are being carried at an aggregate amount of Rs. 6,471.25 lacs. The Management of the Company is of the view that the aggregate carrying amount of the aforesaid investments at Rs. 6,471.25 lacs represents the lower of cost and fair value of these investments as on the balance sheet date.

In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, particularly, in the absence of a fair valuation of the aforesaid investments at the balance sheet date being provided to us, and having regard to the time limit for divestment prescribed in the aforesaid Order, we have not been able to validate whether the carrying amount of these investments is the lower of cost and fair value, as required by Accounting Standard (AS) 13, ''Accounting for Investments''.

12. The Company has recognised MAT Credit of Rs. 9,188.82 lacs as at the year end, including Rs. 960.51 lacs during the year. In accordance with the recommendations contained in the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) under the Income - tax Act, 1961 issued by the ICAI, MAT Credit can be created by way of credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement in the Balance Sheet, to the extent there is convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. As per the aforesaid Guidance Note, where MAT Credit is recognised as an asset, the same should be reviewed at each balance sheet date and a company should write down the carrying amount of MAT Credit asset to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to independently assess whether any write down is required in respect of the aforesaid carrying amount of MAT Credit asset.

13. As disclosed in Note 4 "Reserves and Surplus" an amount of Rs. 2,764.71 lacs has been paid as interim dividends for the year 2013-14 and the tax paid on these dividends is Rs. 469.86 lacs. However, the Company has made a loss for the year ended 31st March, 2014. Further, the consequential transfer of the stipulated minimum amounts of profits to General Reserves in accordance with the Companies (Transfer of Profits to Reserves Rules), 1975, has not been effected due to loss for the year.

14. The matters stated above could also have a consequential impact on the measurement and disclosures of information provided under, but not limited to, managerial remuneration, provision for tax, earnings per share, segment information and related parties for the year ended 31st March, 2014, in the financial statements.

Qualified Opinion

15. 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 paragraphs above, 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:

(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the Company for the year ended on that date; and

(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date.

17. As required by Section 227(3) of the Act, we report that:

(d) Except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraphs above, in our opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement comply with the Accounting Standards notified under the Act (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs).

(e) On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on 31st March, 2014 taken on record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on 31st March, 2014 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 274(1)(g) of the Act.

(iii) According to the information and explanations given to us, the Company does not have any inventories as at the balance sheet date since they are being directly delivered to the customers on procurement and therefore, the question of reporting on whether: physical verification has been carried out at reasonable intervals; procedures of physical verification of inventories were reasonable and adequate; and discrepancies noticed on physical verification were material, does not arise. On the basis of our examination, in our opinion, the Company has maintained proper records of its inventories.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES (INDIA) LIMITED ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2013, 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 Financial Statements

The Company''s 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 Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") 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 the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'' judgement, including 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 the 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 audit opinion.

(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit of the Company for the year ended on that date and

(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
