-
- This Statement, which is the responsibil by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (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 the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), to the extent applicable.

All the employees of the group continues to work from home. The group believes that it has taken into account all the possible impact of known events arising out of COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of financial results. Primesec Investments Limited, which provides corporate advisory services for corporate restructuring, have seen the assignment on slow motion / hold due to non-functioning of NCLT / moratorium granted by RBI in view of COVID-19. Prime Research & Advisory Limited, have witnessed fewer deal closure during the quarter. The impact assessment of COVID 19 is a continuing process given its nature and duration. The Company is continuously monitoring any material changes to future economic conditions.
- The Board of Directors had, on January 9, 2020, approved the Scheme of Arrangement, under Sections 230 to 232 read with Section 66 & Section 52 & other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the $4)$ rules & regulations made thereunder, comprising merger of wholly-owned subsidiaries, Primesec Investments Limited & Prime Commodities Broking (India) Limited into the Company.

The Company being a listed NBFC (for the purpose of complying with IND AS, as per the provisions of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015) with a net-worth of less than Rs. 500 crores, should have adopted Ind AS from April 1, 2019 with transition date being April 1, 2018 in accordance with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016, dated March 30, 2016.

-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (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 the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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.
-
- Based on our review conducted as above, 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 Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

-
- We draw attention to Note 4 to the accompanying Statement, which indicates that the Company has adopted IND AS from 1 April 2017 instead of 1 April 2019 and considered the transition date as 01 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 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.
-
- We draw attention to Note 5 vestment in and inter-company deposit extended to Primesec Investments Limited (PIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company aggregating to Rs. 4,067 lakhs as at 30 September 2020, which are considered as fully recoverable by the management based on the projected deals and estimated forecast. However, these are dependent on certain assumptions and estimates considered by management, the appropriateness of which is dependent upon the realization of the related business plans.
