We have audited the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of Picturehouse Media Limited, Chennai
("the Company"), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the
standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone
statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and
notes to the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements").
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 below
including the disclosure of "Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern", the aforesaid
Standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013
("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company, as at March 31, 2024, its Loss and other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
(i) Attention is invited to note no. 43 to the Statement, in relation to inventory i.e., films
production expenses amounting to Rs. 2,956.52 Lakhs, consists of advances granted to artists
and co-producers. As represented by the Management the film production is under progress
with respect to production of 2 movies costing Rs 76.69 lakhs. In respect of the balance
inventory of Rs 2,879.83 lakhs the Board is confident of recovering the amount from the
production houses. In the absence of documentary evidence as well as the confirmation of
balance from the parties relating to the status of the inventory amounting to Rs 2,879.83
lakhs, we are unable to agree with the views of the Board. We are of the opinion that
realization of inventories is doubtful but we are also unable to decide the quantum of loss that
may arise on account of write down of inventory.
(ii) Attention is invited to note no.44 to the Standalone Financial Statements, Investment in
wholly owned subsidiary viz. PVP Capital Limited, Chennai (PVPCL)
The subsidiary''s net worth stands at Rs. 581.84 lakhs (negative) as at 31.03.2024. The
possibility of liberal cash flow is dim. The company has also defaulted in statutory dues are not
remitted into the Government. PVPCL has not maintained minimum net owned funds as per
RBI Regulations. Under these circumstances, regulatory authorities may cancel its registration
as non-banking finance company. However, the Board of the Picturehouse Media Limited
considers there is no need to provide for impairment in investment made. We do not agree
with that view. But it is difficult to assess correctly the extent of erosion and the loss arising
therefrom.
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the financial statements
Note No.46 in the financial statements which indicates that the company is advancing for
production of movies, it is still incurring losses from operations (negative net worth Rs.
4,155.62 lakhs). Adverse key financial ratios, non-payment of statutory dues, impact of our
observations made in preceding paragraphs, and other related factors indicate that there is
an existence of material uncertainty that will cast significant doubt on the company''s ability
to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor''s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements section of our report. We
are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the Standalone Ind AS financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
1. Attention is invited to note no. 45 of the Standalone Financial Statements - During the
Financial year, PHML acquired 81% stake in New Cyberabad City Projects Private Limited
(NCCPPL) for Rs 3,256.44 lakhs from PVP Ventures Limited. Accordingly, NCCPPL has become
a subsidiary of the Company with effect from 1 October 2023, However, it is noted that as of
the date of these financial statements, the consideration for this acquisition has not been
fully settled, with an outstanding balance of Rs 2,880 lakhs still due to PVP Ventures Limited.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of the current year. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, and in forming
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the
matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section, we have determined the matters described

As a result of the above audit procedures no material differences were noted. We confirm the
adequacy of disclosures made in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the management discussion and analysis, Board''s Report
including annexures to Board''s Report and Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The above reports are expected to
be made available to us after the date of the auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the above reports, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind
AS specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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.
In preparing the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for
assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor''s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
(i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(ii) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we
are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
(iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
(iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
(v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 ("the Order") issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in "Annexure 1" a statement on
the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Picturehouse Media Limited ("the Company") as on 31 March 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the 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 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 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.
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 film finance, production work-in-progress which could potentially result in existence of uncertainty that may cast doubt about the recoverability or otherwise on some of the items and thereby non provision for the shortfall, if any, as at the balance sheet date could not have been 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 not affect our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company.
