Dear Sirs,
Sub: Limited Review Report on Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of Financial
Technologies (India) Limited for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2015
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results
(the 'Statement') of Financial Technologies (India) Limited (the 'Company') for the quarter
and nine months ended December 31, 2015. This statement is the responsibility of the
Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors on February 10,
2016. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
Scope of 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 misstatement. 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.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

3.

As stated by the Management of the Company in Note 12 to the Statement, Writ Petitions (WP),
Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and Civil Suits have been filed against the Company in relation to
event occurred on NSEL's trading platform, wherein the Company has been made a party in the
WP and Civil Suits. These matters are pending at various stages of adjudication. As stated in
the said note, the management of the Company does not foresee that the parties who have filed
the WP, P1L, Civil Suits would be able to sustain any claim against the Company. In addition, as
stated by the management in note 12, 13 and 14 to the statement, there are First Information
Reports/notice registered/received against various parties including the Company with the
Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police (EOW), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
and MIDC Police Station, Mumbai District. In one of the matter as stated above, a
Miscellaneous Application has been filed before MPID Court and the matter is sub-judice.
Above matters are pending at various stages of adjudication/investigation.

Also at Baroda and Pune. Associate Offices at Bangalore, Chennai (Madras), Hyderabad, Panjim (Goa) and New Delhi.

In this regard, the Management and those charged with Governance have represented to us
that other than as stated in the said note to the Statement, there are no claims, litigations,
potential settlements involving the Company directly or indirectly which require adjustments
to/disclosures in the Statement.
In the light of the above representations regarding the ongoing investigations and matters, the
outcome of which is not known and is uncertain at this stage, we are unable to comment on the
consequential impact in respect of the same on the results for the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 2015.
Qualified Conclusion
4.

Except for the possible effects of the matter specified under 'Basis for Qualified Conclusion' and
based on our review conducted as stated above, nothing has come to our attention that causes
us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the applicable
accounting standards as specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other
recognised accounting practices and policies generally accepted in India has not disclosed the
information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations
and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be
disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 10 to the Statement, which describes the receipt of the draft order
proposing amalgamation of National Spot Exchange Limited with the Company. The Company
has filed a Writ Petition before the Honourable Bombay High Court challenging the said order.
We draw attention to Note 11 to the Statement. Government of India has filed the Company
Petition before the Principal Bench of the Company Law Board, under the Companies Act,
1956, seeking inter alia removal and supersession of the Board of Directors of the Company,
which has been protested by the Company and the matter is pending before CLB for
consideration.
We draw attention to Note 16 to the Statement, regarding utilisation of unexpired MAT credit
entitlement by the Company. The Company has a total MAT credit entitlement of Rs.17,954.18
Lacs as at December 31, 2015. Based on the projections made by the Company's management
regarding income-tax liability of the Company, Management is of the view that the Company will
be able to utilise the unexpired MAT credit entitlement in eligible projected years.
Our conclusion is not qualified in respect these matters of emphasis.
