We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results ("the statement") of PRAKASH INDUSTRIES LIMITED ("the Company")for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2018, 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 by Circular no. CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5th July, 2016. This statement, which Is the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors, has been compiled from the related interim financial statements which has been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (Ind AS 34) Specified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the statement based on our review. 2. 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. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatements. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. 3. We refer that the deferred tax liability of Rs. 825 lakhs and Rs. 1280 lakhs for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2018 respectively has been adjusted against security premium account by the company in terms of a court order. Had the deferred tax liability been accounted for pursuant to I nd AS-12 'Income Taxes', net profit and total comprehensive income after tax for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2018 would have been lower by Rs. 825 lakhs and Rs. 1280 lakhs respectively. 4. Based on our review conducted as stated above, except for the effects of our observations stated in para 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement prepared in accordance with the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation 2015 as amended by Circular No. CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated July 05, 2016, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
