Mar 31, 2012
1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Crest Animation
Studios Limited ('the Company') as at 31 March 2012 and the Statement
of profit and loss account and the cash flow statement for the year
ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 (as
amended) 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. As discussed in Note 23 of the accompanying financial statements,
at 31 March 2012, the Company has not accrued for interest of Rs 751.78
lacs for the year ended 31 March 2012 on a secured loan as the Company
intends to litigate the applicability of interest given the
recoverability of the advance referred in paragraph 5 below is
uncertain. Had the Company recorded the said interest, the loss for the
year ended 31 March 2012 would have been higher by Rs 751.78 lacs and
the current liabilities as at 31 March 2012 would have been higher by
Rs 751.78 lacs.
5. As indicated in Note 23 of the accompanying financial statements,
at 31 March 2012, loans and advances include Rs 3,169.3 lacs (recorded
in the Company's books of account pursuant to scheme of arrangement
effective from 26 July 2011) due from a company against which the
Company intends to initiate legal action to recover the advance. The
ultimate outcome of the recoverability of the advance cannot presently
be determined and hence, we are unable to comment on its consequential
impact, if any, on the Company's loss for the year ended 31 March 2012.
The audit report for the year ended 31 March 2011 and was also modified
for this matter.
6. As indicated in Note 24 of the accompanying financial statements,
the recoverability of the following assets is impacted due to
uncertainty relating to the financial condition of the Company, as
further investments are required to complete the projects of these
investee companies:
a. Investment of Rs 744.6 lacs in an animation production company
executing an animation film project, debtor of Rs 723.3 lacs, unbilled
revenue of Rs. 1,562.9 lacs due from this company and inventory of Rs
408.3 lacs relating to this film.
b. Investment of Rs 1400.16 lacs in a subsidiary company, carried in
the books of the Company based on the carrying value of net assets of
this subsidiary as at 31 March 2012. As per the audited financial
statements of this subsidiary as at 31 March 2012, the net assets
includes receivable of Rs 1,114.22 lacs due from the above mentioned
animation production company.
We are unable to comment on the extent of non- recoverability of these
balances and their consequential impact, if any, on the Company's loss
for the year ended 31 March 2012. The audit report for the year ended
31 March 2011 was also modified for the matter discussed in paragraph
6a above.
7. Without qualifying our opinion we state that, as at 31 March 2012,
the Company has long-term investments of Rs 71 lacs in a joint venture
company which is having film properties under development for more than
3 years. For the reasons stated in Note 25, pending the final outcome
of the decision to be taken by the joint venture partner on the
development of the film properties held by the investee, management is
of the view there is no diminution in the value of this long term-
investment. The ultimate outcome of the above mentioned matter cannot
presently be determined, and no provision has been made in the
financial statements for diminution in this investment.
8. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 26 in the
accompanying financial statements. Without considering the effects /
possible effects of the matters stated in paragraph 4, 5, and 6 above,
the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs 2055.92 lacs for the year
ended 31 March 2012 while the accumulated losses aggregate to Rs
3065.07 lacs. The Company is funding its operations from short term
borrowings and has renewed its bank borrowings. These conditions, along
with other matters as set forth in Note 26, indicate the existence of a
material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern The appropriateness of
going concern assumption is dependent on the Company's ability in
raising of funds from the liquidation of shares held by the CAS Benefit
Trust ("treasury stock"), renewal of its loan obligations on their due
date, continuing its business operation and establishing profitable
operations,. These mitigating factors have been fully disclosed in the
Note 26 of the accompanying financial statements in view of which the
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on going concern
assumption.

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
audit;
ii. In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have
