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.
 
 Annexure referred to in paragraph 3 of the Auditors'' Report to the
 Members of Dish TV India Limited on the accounts for the year ended 31
 March 2012
 
 (i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
 particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
 assets.
 
 (b) As explained to us, the fixed assets, other than consumer premises
 equipment (CPE), installed at the customer premises and those in
 transit or lying with the distributors, have been physically verified
 by the management as per a phased programme to cover over a period of
 three years, which in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the
 size of the Company and nature of its fixed assets. Discrepancies
 noticed on such verification were not significant and have been
 properly dealt with in the books of account.  According to the
 information and explanations given to us, the existence of CPEs lying
 at the customer premises is considered on the basis of the ''active user
 status'' of the CPE.
 
 (c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial and,
 therefore, do not effect the going concern assumption.
 
 (ii) (a) According to the information and explanations given to us,
 physical verification has been conducted by the management at
 reasonable intervals during the year in respect of inventory of stock
 in trade consisting of CPEs and accessories in the Company''s
 possession. In our opinion, the frequency of physical verification is
 reasonable.

 given to us, the procedures for physical verification of inventories
 followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to

 are of the opinion that the Company is maintaining proper records of

 (iii) According to the information and explanations given to us, the
 Company has neither granted nor taken any loans, secured or unsecured,

 having regard to the explanation that purchases of certain items of
 inventories and fixed assets are for the Company''s specialised

 an adequate internal control system commensurate with the size of the
 Company and the nature of its business with regard to purchase of
 inventories and fixed assets and with regard to the sale of goods and
 services. Further, on the basis of our examination and according to the
 information and explanations given to us, we have neither come across

 given to us, the transactions made in pursuance of contracts or
 arrangements referred to in para (v) (a) above, and exceeding the value

 are reasonable having regard to the prevailing market price except for

 respective parties and for which suitable alternate sources are not
 available to obtain comparable quotations.

 accounting records. As informed to us, the Company is in the process of
 concluding and producing such records.
