Opinion

We have audited the accompanying con olidated annual financial results of Digicontent Limited (h reinafter referred to a the ''Holding Compan ") and its subsidiary, HT Digital treams Limited, (Holding Company and it ub idiary together referred to a "the Group"), for the year ended 31 arch 2020, ("'the tatement" or ·'con olidated annual financial re ult "), attached herev ith, being ubmitted by th Holding Compan pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the ecurities and Exchange Board of India (" EBI") (Li ting Obligations and Disc lo ure Requirements) Regulations, 20 15, as amended (' Li ting Regulation ').

ln our opinion and to the be t of our infon11ation and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid con olidated annual financial results:

  • a. also include the annual financial results of the subsidiary- HT Digital treams Limited;
  • b. are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in thi regard; and
  • c. in the cont xt of overriding effect of the provision in the scheme of arrangements as detailed in Emphasis of Matters paragraph below, give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of consolidated net loss and other comprehensi e income and other financial infom1ation of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2020.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs' ) specified under ection 143( IO) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities f or the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Financial Result section of our report. We are independent of the Group, 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act, and the Rule 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basi for our opinion on the consolidated annual financial results.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to Note 1 of consolidated annual financial results in respect to a Scheme of Arrangement (Demerger) between the holding company and HT Media Limited (HTML) and their respective creditors and shareholders, as sanctioned by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal. The Scheme, inter-alia, prescribed demerger of Entertainment and Digital Innovation business of HT Media Limited (Demerged Company) including strategic investment and vesting thereof into the holding company w.e.f. closing business hours of 31 March 2018 (the Appointed Date) as compared to acquisition date under common control business combination as per the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

We draw attention to Note 10 of the consolidated annual financial results, where in goodwill acquired under Scheme of Arrangement under section 391-394 of Companies Act, 1956 between HT Media Limited and HT Digital Streams Limited and Hindustan Media Ventures Limited and HT Digital Streams Limited ('the Scheme'), in the previous years, is being amortised as per the scheme of arrangement sanctioned by Hon'ble High Courts. This accounting treatment as envisaged in the Scheme is different from that prescribed in the applicable Ind AS which only requires to test such goodwill annually for impairment purposes.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Annual Financial Results

These consolidated annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements.

The Holding Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated annual financial results that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of each 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated annual financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated annual financial results by the Management and the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated annual financial results, the Management and the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual financial results 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 consolidated annual financial results.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated annual financial results, 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.
  • 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 through a separate report on the complete set of financial statements on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the consolidated financial results made by the Management and Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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 appropriateness of this assumption. 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 consolidated annual financial results 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated annual financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated annual financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and subsidiary company 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.

Consequent upon filing of the order passed by NCLT with the Registrar of Companies, NCT of Delhi & Haryana on April 5, 2019, the Scheme became effective from the Appointed Date.

Pursuant to the Scheme, HTML has transferred its entire stake in HT Digital Streams Limited (HTDSL) (i.e. 57. 17%) to the Company. Consequently, HTDSL has become wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Consolidated results for year ended March 31 , 2019 were prepared for filing information memorandum for listing purpose.

The Company issued and allotted its 5,81,87,078 equity shares of face value of Rs. 2/- each on April 12, 2019 to the eligible shareholders of HTML.

The aforesaid equity shares were admitted for trading and listed on the stock exchanges i.e. National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited on June 18, 2019. These equity shares have also been considered for the purpose of calculation of earnings per share and paid up share capital for the periods reported above.

The Corresponding figures for the year ended 31 March 2019 included in the consolidated financial results have been extracted from the audited special purpose financial statements which were prepared for filing information memorandum for listing purpose and are not the statutory financial statements.
