Auditor's Report (Television Eighteen) Year End : Mar '10
1.   We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Television
 Eighteen India Limited, (the Company) as at 31 March, 2010,
 the Proft and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement of
 the Company for the year ended on that date, both annexed
 thereto. These fnancial statements are the responsibility of the
 Companys Management. Our responsibility is to express an
 opinion on these fnancial statements based on our audit.
 
 2.   We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing
 standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards
 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
 assurance about whether the fnancial statements are free of
 material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test
 basis, evidence supporting the amounts and the disclosures in
 the fnancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
 accounting principles used and signifcant estimates made by
 the Management, as well as evaluating the overall fnancial
 statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
 reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 3.   As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003
 (CARO) issued by the Central Government in terms of Section
 227(4A) of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the Annexure
 a statement on the matters specifed in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the
 said Order.
 
 4.   Without qualifying our report, attention is invited to Note 11 of
 Schedule 16 to the fnancial statements wherein it is stated that
 Company has long term investments of Rs. 27,768.95 lakhs
 in quoted equity shares. The market value of these quoted
 investments as at 31 March, 2010 aggregates to Rs. 7,472.75
 lakhs. The Company also has an investment of Rs. 1,335.43 lakhs
 in a subsidiary, the net worth of which has been eroded. However,
 having regard to continued long term strategic involvement,
 management is of the view that no provision is considered
 necessary for diminution in the value of these investments.
 
 5.   Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph
 3 above, we report as follows:
 
 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 it appears from our

 and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are
 in compliance with the Accounting Standards referred to in
 Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956;
 
 e.   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:
