0.75 (1.17%) | Auditor's Report (Dish TV) | Year End : Mar '12 |
1 We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Dish TV India Limited
(''the Company'') as at 31 March 2012 and also the Statement of Profit
and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended
on that date, annexed thereto. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company''s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2 We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
3 As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (''the
Order''), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of
sub-section (4A) of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 (''the Act''),
we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in
paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
4 Without qualifying our opinion, attention is invited to note 2(b) of
the financial statements. The Company''s net worth as at the end of the
financial year is completely eroded by its accumulated losses.
However, the management has prepared the financial statements assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern since it has adequate
resources in the form of operating cash flows and sanctioned credit
facilities from lenders to adequately meet its obligation.
5 Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in para 3 above,
we report that:
(a) we have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our
audit;
(b) in our opinion, proper books of account, as required by law, have
been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of
those books;
(c) the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash
Flow Statement, dealt with by this report, are in agreement with the
books of account;
(d) subject to our comments in paragraph 5 (f) below regarding non
compliance in relation to Accounting Standard 19 ''Leases'', in our
opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report, comply with the
accounting standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of
the Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable;
(e) on the basis of written representations received from the directors
of the Company as on 31 March 2012 and taken on record by the Board of
directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified as on
31 March 2012 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g)
of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956;
(f) the life of the Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) for the purposes
of depreciation has been estimated by the management as five years.
However, in certain cases, the one-time advance contributions towards
the CPEs in the form of rentals are recognized as revenue over a period
of three years, which is not in line with the estimated life of such
assets, in terms of Accounting Standard 19 ''Leases'', though the impact
of which on the financial statements has not been ascertained by the
management. This was a subject matter of qualifbation in our audit
report on the financial statements for the previous year ended 31 March
2011 also [Pefer to note 39 (b)];
(g) during the previous year, the Company received a demand notice for
income tax and interest thereon aggregating Rs. 4,056 lacs in relation to
an earlier year, though reduced to Rs. 2,642 lacs during the year based
on a rectification application filed. The matter pertains to short
deduction of tax at source on certain payments and interest thereon for
delayed period. The Company has disputed the above said demand and has
filed an appeal against the same with the tax authorities. The Company,
based on a legal view obtained in the matter, has not made any
provision in the financial statements and has not assessed the impact
of the above position on the subsequent years. Pending final
conclusion, we are unable to comment on the matter and its consequent
impact on the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year and the debit
balance in the Statement of Profit and Loss at the end of the year.
This was a subject matter of qualification in our audit report on the
financial statements for the previous year ended 31 March 2011 also
[Refer to note 49 (c)]; and
(h) subject to our comments in paragraphs 5 (f) and (g) above, the
impact of which has not been ascertained, in our opinion and to the
best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the said accounts give the information required by the Companies Act,
1956, in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2012;
(ii) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for
the year ended on that date; and
(iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.

equipment (CPE), installed at the customer premises and those in
transit or lying with the distributors, have been physically verified

size of the Company and nature of its fixed assets. Discrepancies
