The Statement has been prepared by the Company pursuant to Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015 as amended ('the SEBI Regulations'), read with Circular in this regard and has been initialed by us for identification.

We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

4. Based on our review conducted as above, we report that, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement read with notes thereon, prepared in accordance with aforesaid Ind AS and other recognized accounting practices and policies generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms the SEBI Regulation including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

ANNEXURE III

Transferee Company - Consolidated

Independent Auditor's Review Report on quarter and six months ended Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of Industrial and Prudential Investment Company Limited pursuant to the Regulation 33 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015

The Board of Directors

Industrial and Prudential Investment Company Limited

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Unaudited Financial Results of Industrial and Prudential Investment Company Limited (“the Parent”) and its subsidiary (New Holding and Trading Company Limited), (the Parent and its subsidiary together referred to as “the Group”), and its share of the net profit after tax and total comprehensive income of its associate (KSB Limited) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and for the period from April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 (“the Statement”), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended ('the SEBI Regulations') , read with Circular in this regard and has been initialed by us for identification. Attention is drawn to the fact that the consolidated figures for the corresponding quarter ended September 30, 2018 and the corresponding period from April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, as reported in these financial results have been taken as approved by the Parent's Board of Directors and have not been subjected to review or an audit.

2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's Management and approved by the Parent's Board of Directors in their meeting held on November 8, 2019, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

4. The Statement includes the financial results of the following entities:

  • a) New Holding and Trading Company Limited (Subsidiary Company)

  • b) KSB Limited (Associate Company)

5. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and based on the consideration of the review reports of other auditors referred to in paragraph 7 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the SEBI Regulation, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

6. The Consolidated unaudited financial results includes the financial results of Subsidiary (New Holding and Trading Company Limited) which have been reviewed by their auditors, whose financial result reflect total assets Rs. 2,643.48 lakh as at September 30, 2019, total revenues of Rs. (5.01) lakh and Rs. 17.99 lakh, total net profit after tax of Rs. (3.99) lakh and Rs. 18.37 lakh, total comprehensive income of Rs. (54.85) lakh and Rs. 23.97 lakh for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and for the period from April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, respectively, and cash flows (net) of Rs 20.32 lakh for the period from April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, as considered in the consolidated unaudited financial results. These financial results have been reviewed by other auditor whose report have been furnished to us by the Management and our conclusion on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the subsidiary, is based solely on the report of the other auditor and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.

Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above matter.
