Independent Auditor's Report on Consolidated Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

To the Board of Directors of Prime Securities Limited

Opinion

    1. We have audited the accompanying consolidated annual financial results (,the Statement') of Prime Securities Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group'), (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries included in the Statement) for the year ended 31 March 2020, attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) ('Listing Regulations'), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time.
    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of other auditors on separate audited financial statements of the subSidiaries, the Statement:
  • (i) includes the annual financial results of the following entities (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries included in the Statement);
  • (ii) is presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations , read with SEBI Circular CIRfCFDfFACf62f2016 dated 5 July 2016 (hereinafter referred to as 'the SEBI Circular'); and
  • (iii) gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (,the Act'). read with relevant rules issued thereunder, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated net profit after tax and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2020.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ('SAs') specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement 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 ('the ICAI') together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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.

Independent Auditor's Report on Consolidated Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

Emphasis of Matters

    1. We draw attention to Note 8 to the accompanying Statement, which indicates that the Company had adopted Ind AS from 1 April 2017 instead of 1 April 2019 and considered transition date as 1 April 2016 which is not in compl iance with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 201 6, dated 30 March 2016. However, management has assessed that the impact of applying the appropriate transition date as well as the possible impact of fines/penalty, if any, on account of such non-compliance on the financial statement of the Company would not be material.
    1. We draw attention to Note 9 to the accompanying Statement, regarding the restatement done by the management of the Company in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors on account of various adjustments which are further described in the aforesaid note.

OUf opinion is not modified in respect of these matter.

Management's and Those Charged with Governance Responsibilities for the Statement

    1. The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit after tax and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the accounting prinCiples generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations, including SEBI Circular. The respective 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 the Group 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 financial results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
    1. In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group, 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 this Statement.

Prime Securities Limited

Independent Auditor's Report on Consolidated Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

    1. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 on whether the Group, has adequate internal financial controls system 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 made by the management.
  • 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 ability of the Group, 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 Statement 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 Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial resultsl financial informationl financial statements of the entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and periormance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
  • 11 . We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company 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.
    1. 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.
    1. We also performed procedures in accordance with SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019, issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

To the Board of Directors of Prime Securities Limited

Prime Securities Limited

Independent Auditor's Report on Standalone Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEB! (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

Emphasis of Matters

    1. We draw attention to Note 7 to the accompanying Statement, which indicates that the Company had adopted Ind AS from 1 April 2017 instead of 1 April 2019 and the considered transition date as 1 April 2016 which is not in compliance with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016, dated 30 March 2016. However, management has assessed that the impact applying the appropriate transition date as well as the possible impact of fines/penalty, if any, on account of such non-compliance on the financial statement of the Company would not be material.
    1. We draw attention to Note 8 to the accompanying Statement, regarding the Company's investments in and inter-company deposit extended to Primesec Investments Limited (PIL), a wholly owned subsidiary aggregating Rs. 4,9451akhs (31 March 2019: Rs. 5072lakhs) as at 31 March 2020, which are considered as fully recoverable by the management based on the valuation performed by an independent valuation expert. However, these are dependent on certain assumptions and estimates considered by the management, the appropriateness of which is dependent upon the realisation of the related business plans.
    1. We draw attention to Note 10 to the accompanying Statement, regarding the restatement done by the management of the Company in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors on account of various adjustments which are further described in the aforesaid note.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these above matters.

Management's and Those Charged with Governance Responsibilities for the Statement

    1. This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profiVloss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations including SEBI Circular. 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 Statement that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
    1. In preparing the Statement, 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Independent Auditor's Report on Standalone Annual Financial Results of the Company Pursuant tathe Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 this Statement.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standard s on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Statement 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.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.
