Auditor Report of Crest Animation Studios Ltd.

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.

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;
