Limited Review Report On Quarterly Standalone Financial Results and Year to Date Results of Pritish Nandy Communications Limited Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015
To The Board of Directors Pritish Nandy Communications Limited Mumbai
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results ('Statement') of Pritish Nandy Communications Limited ("the Company") for the quarter ended 30th June, 2021 attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Company's Board of Directors, 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 issue a report 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 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.
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 applicable accounting standards i.e. Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms 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 your attention relating to:
a. Note 2 which describes the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of the Company

The court has directed the proprietor not to dispose off/create any third party rights on his properties which are valued at Rs 1200 lakh. Proceedings are ongoing and in view of the same outstanding of Rs. 317.53 lakhs is considered as fully recoverable and consequently there is no provision made of any amount there against.
- c. Note 4 which states about proceedings initiated by the Company for recovery of advances of Rs 150.00 lakh. Proceedings are ongoing before the Bombay High Court and management considers the same as good and fully recoverable and consequently there is no provision made of any amount there against for the reasons stated in the said note.
- d. Note 5 which describes about the investment in subsidiary "PNC Digital Ltd." stands at Rs. 70.20 lakhs whereas the net worth of the subsidiary is eroded substantially.
