To the Members of Moser Baer India Limited
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Moser Baer India Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the fifteen months period from January 01, 2015 to March 31, 2016 (the "period") then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
2. 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 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; safeguarding the assets of the Company; 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.
Auditor''s Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.
4. 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.
5. 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 standalone 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 financial controls 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.
7. 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
8. 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, 2016, and its losses and its cash flows for the fifteen months period ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
9. We draw attention to note 48 to the financial statements. The Company has incurred a net loss of Rs. 7,036,474,934 for the fifteen months period ended March 31, 2016 and, as of that date, the Company''s accumulated losses amounted to Rs.23,605,019,015 resulting in complete erosion of its net worth. Further, as of that date, the Company''s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 21,986,021,287. These conditions, along with matters set forth in note 48 indicate the existence of uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company''s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
10. We draw attention to note 47 to the financial statements with respect to management''s assessment of ''other than temporary'' diminution in value of investments in and recover ability of advances/receivables from its subsidiaries companies amounting to Rs. 3,517,734,934 and Rs. 3,794,758,260 respectively (net of payables and provisions thereon). Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
2. 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. 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
3. 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.
4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'' 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 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
6. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India:
I) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 December 2014;
ii) in the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the lossfor the year ended on that date; and
iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
7. We draw attention to note 48 to the financial statements. The Company has incurred a net loss of Rs. 7,083,003,303 during the year ended 31 December 2014, and as of that date, the Company''s accumulated losses aggregate to Rs. 16,457,149,952 resulting in complete erosion of its net worth. Further, as of that date, the Company''s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 14,877,708,565. These conditions, along with matters set forth in note 48, indicate the existence of uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
8. We draw attention to note 47 to the financial statements with respect to management''s assessment of ''other than temporary'' diminution in value of investments in and recoverability advances/receivables from three subsidiaries namely Helios Photo Voltaic Limited (HPVL), Moser Baer Solar Limited (MBSL) and Moser Baer Entertainment Limited (MBEL) aggregating to Rs. 1,585,585,317, Rs. 5,942,363,718 and Rs. 1,630,452,857 respectively (net of payables and provisions thereon). Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
2. 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. 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
3. 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.
4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'' 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 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
6. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India:
i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 December 2013;
ii) in the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the period, from 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2013,; and
iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the period, from 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2013.
Emphasis of Matter
7. We draw attention to note 44(d) and 45 to the financial statements which describes the ongoing re-structuring discussion with FCCB holders, the related accounting and the fact that the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs. 4,466,627,030 during the period 1 April 2013 to 31 December 2013, and as of 31 December 2013 the Company''s accumulated losses aggregate to Rs. 3,436,395,366 resulting in a complete erosion of the net worth of the Company. Further as on that date, the Company''s current liabilities exceed its current assets by Rs. 9,671,083,236. These conditions, along with matters set forth in note 44(d) and 45, indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
8. We draw attention to note 49 to the financial statements with respect to management''s assessment of permanent diminution in the value of investments and recoverability of advances and other receivables from three subsidiaries namely Helios Photo Voltaic Limited (HPVL) (formerly known as Moser Baer Photovoltaic Limited), Moser Baer Solar Limited (MBSL) and Moser Baer Entertainment Limited (MBEL) aggregating to Rs. 1,582,762,004, Rs. 6,141,411,910 and Rs. 3,271,631,829 respectively. The conclusion of diminution in the value of investments and recoverability of advances and other receivables are dependent on successful implementation of business plans and new technologies, external market conditions, regulatory benefits and full implementation of debt restructuring in the terms as proposed by the HVPL and MBSL, which are materially uncertain. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
9. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 ("the Order") issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Act, we give in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
10. As required by Section 227(3) of the Act, we report that:
a. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit;
b. in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those books;
c. the financial statements dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;
d. in our opinion, the financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013; and
e. on the basis of written representations received from the directors, as on 31 December 2013 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on 31 December 2013 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Act.

1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Moser Baer India Limited, ("the Company"), which comprise of 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
2. 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 principles generally accepted in India, including 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 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
3. 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.
4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'' 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. 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.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
6. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India:
i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2013 ;
ii) in the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the year ended on that date; and
iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
7. We draw attention to note 44(d) to the Financial statements regarding re-structuring of the outstanding Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds, the related accounting and also the uncertainty of this being accepted by the bond holders and approved by concerned regulatory authorities. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
8. We draw attention to note 47(a) in the financial statements with respect to management''s assessment, based on valuation performed by an independent valuer, of recoverability of investments in and other receivables from two subsidiaries namely Moser Baer Photovoltaic Limited and Moser Baer Solar Limited amounting to Rs. 1,472,573,990 and Rs. 6,163,124,675 respectively. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent on successful implementation of new technologies, external market conditions, regulatory benefits and conclusion of debt restructuring in the terms as proposed by the subsidiaries, which are significantly uncertain. Our report is not qualified in respect of this m a tt e r.

Based on the audit procedures performed for the purpose of reporting a true and fair view on the financial statements of the Company and taking into consideration the information and explanations given to us and the books of account and other records examined by us in the normal course of audit, we report that:
(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.
(b) The Company has a regular program of physical verification of its fixed assets under which fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over a period of ---three years, which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets.

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 whether the financial statements are 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 (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 ('the Order') (as amended) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 ('the Act') , we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 46(a) in the financial statements with respect to management's assessment of recoverability of investments in and other receivables from two subsidiaries namely Moser Baer Photovoltaic Limited (MBPV) and Moser Baer Solar Limited (MBSL) amounting to Rs. 1,416,701,070 and Rs. 5,772,548,740 respectively. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent on successful implementation of new technologies, external market conditions and conclusion of debt restructuring in the terms as proposed by the subsidiaries, which are significantly uncertain.
5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report that:
a. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit;
b. In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those books;
c. The financial statements dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;
d. On the basis of written representations received from the directors, as on March 31, 2012, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2012 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Act;
e. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements dealt with by this report comply with the accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Act and 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, in the case of:
i) the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2012;
ii) the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the year ended on that date; and
iii) the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Annexure to the Auditors' report of even date to the members of Moser Baer India Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012
Based on the audit procedures performed for the purpose of reporting a true and fair view on the financial statements of the Company and taking into consideration the information and explanations given to us and the books of account and other records examined by us in the normal course of audit, we report that:
i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.
(b) The Company has a regular program of physical verification of its fixed assets under which fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over a period of three years which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies were noticed on such verification.
(c) In our opinion, a substantial part of fixed assets have not been disposed off during the year.
ii) (a) The management has conducted physical verification of inventory at reasonable intervals during the year, except goods-in-transit and stocks lying with third parties. For stocks lying with third parties at the year-end, written confirmations have been obtained by the management.

(c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory and no material discrepancies were noticed on physical verification.
iii) (a) The Company has granted unsecured loans to three parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. The maximum amount outstanding during the year is Rs. 946,500,000 and the year-end balance is Rs. 389,500,000.
(b) In our opinion, the rate of interest is not, prima facie, prejudicial to the interest of the Company. In respect of loan granted to one party, the schedule of repayment is defined which in our opinion is not prima facie, prejudicial to the interest of the Company and in respect of loans granted to other parties, the principal amounts are repayable on demand/there is no repayment schedule, hence, we are unable to comment as to whether the terms and conditions are prejudicial to the interest of the Company.
(c) In respect of loan granted to one party, receipt of the principal amount and interest is regular. And in respect of loans granted to other parties, the principal and interest amounts are repayable on demand and since the repayment of such loans has not been demanded, in our opinion, repayment of the principal amount is regular.
(d) There is no overdue amount in respect of loans granted to such companies, firms or other parties.
(e) The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured from companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under section 301 of the Act. Accordingly, the provisions of clauses 4(iii)(f) and 4(iii)(g) of the Order are not applicable.
iv) In our opinion, there is an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and services. During the course of our audit, no major weakness has been noticed in the internal control system in respect of these areas.
v) (a) In our opinion, the particulars of all contracts or arrangements that need to be entered into the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act have been so entered.
(b) In our opinion, the transactions made in pursuance of such contracts or arrangements and exceeding the value of rupees five lakhs in respect of any party during the year have been made at prices which are reasonable having regard to prevailing market prices at the relevant time.
vi) The Company has not accepted any deposits from public within the meaning of sections 58A and 58AA of the Act and the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975. Accordingly, the provisions of clause 4(vi) of the Order are not applicable.

viii) We have broadly reviewed the books of account maintained by the Company pursuant to the Rules made by the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under clause (d) of sub-section (1) of Section 209 of the Act in respect of Company's products/services and are of the opinion that, prima facie, the prescribed accounts and records have been made and maintained. However, we have not made a detailed examination of the cost records with a view to determine whether they are accurate or complete.
ix) (a) Undisputed statutory dues including provident fund, investor education and protection fund, employees' state insurance, income-tax, sales-tax, wealth-tax, service-tax, custom duty, excise duty, cess and other material statutory dues, as applicable, have generally been regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities, though there has been a slight delay in a few cases.
