To the Board of Directors of Prime Securities Limited
Opinion
-
- We have audited the accompanying consolidated annual financial results of Prime Securities Limited (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries included in the Statement) for the year ended 31 March 2021 Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) vant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time.
-
- 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 results of the subsidiaries, the Statement:
- (i) includes the annual financial results of the entities listed in Annexure 1;
- (ii) presents financial results in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations; and
- (iii) gives a true and fair view in con 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 2021.
Basis for Opinion
- 143(10) of the the Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Group, , in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by 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. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and that obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 13 of the Other Matter section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
- We draw attention to Note 5 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 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. Our Opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The above Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared under indirect method as set out in Ind AS 7, 'Statement of Cash Flows', as specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 (as amended).
Consolidated Notes:
- The above consolidated financial results have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of (Indian Accounting Standard) rules, 2015 (Tnd AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The consolidated financial results were reviewed by Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at its Meeting held on June 24, 2021. The results for the year ended March 31, 2021 have been audited by the statutory auditors of the company.
- The Consolidated financial results include the audited financial results of the wholly-owned subsidiaries Prime Research & Advisory Limited and Prime Funds Management Limited. $\overline{2}$
- Amid continued COVID-19 pandemic and gradual phase out of restrictions, economic activities have started returning to normal. Employees of the company continue to work form home. Prime Research & Advisory Limited has witnessed fewer deal closures during the year. The company believes that it has taken into account all possible impact of known events arising out of COVID 19 pandemic in preparation of financial results. However the impact assessment of COVID 19 is a continuing process given its nature and duration. The company is continuously monitoring any material changes that may influence future economic conditions.
- Pursuant to receipt of order dated May 13, 2021, from the Honourable National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (NCLT) approving the scheme of amalgamation of Primesec Investment Limited (PIL) and Prime $\overline{4}$ Commodities Broking (India) Limited (PCBIL), the transferor companies, with Prime Securities Limited (PSL), the transferee Company as a result of which the transferor companies and transferee company have filed Form INC-28 with ROC which has made the Scheme effective from the date of April 1, 2020.
- 5 The Company, being considered a NBFC with a net-worth of less than Rs. 500 crores, was required to have adopted Ind-AS from April 1, 2019 under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015, against which the actual adoption was from April 1, 2017 and the considered transition date as April 1, 2016. Management believes that the qualitative / quantitative impact of the same was not material to the financial results and hence, no adjustment was required.

Opinion
-

Basis for Opinion

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matters
- We draw attention to Note 5 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 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.

- $\epsilon$ The Company has only one segment i.e. Financial Advisory & Intermediation services. There are no separate reportable segments as required by Ind AS 108.
- The figures for the last quarter of the current year and of the previous year are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the restated year-to-date figures up to third quarte
- $\bar{8}$ The amounts reflected as "0" in the Financial Information are values with less than rupees one lakhs.
- Previous quarter and period/year ended figures have been regrouped/reclassified, wherever found necessary, to confirm to the current quarter/period/year end presentation. $\overline{9}$
