Segregation of assets ( other than trade receivables), liabilities, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses into various reportable segments have not been presented as the assets are used interchangeably between segments and the Group is of the view that it is not practical to reasonably allocate the other assets, liabilities and other non-cash expenses to individual segments and an ad-hoc allocation will not be meaningful.

The statutory auditors have expressed an unqualified audit opinion.

2 Adoption of Ind AS 115 - Revenue from contracts with customers: Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" using the cumulative catch-up transition method which is applied to contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018.

In August 2018, credit rating agency, has significantly downgraded the IL& FS Group's rating. As of December 31, 2018, there have been no defaults in payment of interest on the aforesaid deposits. At this stage, it is difficult to estimate the ultimate probable loss if any.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON AUDIT OF INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PERSISTENT SYSTEMS LIMITED

We have audited the accompanying Interim Statement of Consolidated Financial Results of PERSISTENT SYSTEMS LIMITED ("the Parent") and its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group") and its associate, for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2018 (''the Statement"), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as modified by Circular No. CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated July 5, 2016.
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been compiled from the related interim consolidated Ind AS financial statements which 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, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement based on our audit of such interim consolidated Ind AS financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Parent's preparation and fair presentation of the Statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Parent's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON AUDIT OF INTERIM STANDALONE FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PERSISTENT SYSTEMS LIMITED

We have audited the accompanying Interim Statement of Standalone Financial Results of PERSISTENT SYSTEMS LIMITED ("the Company"), for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2018 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as modified by Circular No. CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5 July 2016.
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been compiled from the related interim Ind AS standalone financial statements which 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, read with relevant rules issued thereunder ('Ind AS') and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement based on our audit of such interim standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the Statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:
a. is presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as modified by Circular No. CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5 July 2016; and
b. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net profit and total comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2018.

We draw attention to Note 03 of the Statement relating to the deposits of Rs 430 million in Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Group as at 31 December 2018, whose rating was significantly downgraded by credit rating agency - ICRA in August 2018. No provision against these deposits is considered necessary by the management as at 31 December 2018 for the reasons stated in the said note.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
