Report on the Management Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of Eros Media World PLC (formerly known as Eros International Plc, subsequently known as Eros STX Global Corporation) ("the Company" "Eros" "EMW PLC") as consolidated with its subsidiaries, (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group") which comprise of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, the related Consolidated Statement of Income and Loss (including other Comprehensive Income and Loss), the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, the Significant Accounting Policies, and other explanatory information, together referred to as the "Consolidated Financial Statements" "Financial Statements", as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on even date.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of the other auditor's reports ("component auditors") on separate financial statements of the subsidiaries and management represented financials, referred to in the Other Matters section below, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("US GAAP"), of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2022, and their consolidated loss, their consolidated total comprehensive loss and their consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date, except as described under the 'disclaimer of opinion' paragraph under.

Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our Report. We are independent of the Company, in accordance with the Ethical Standards and Code of Ethics together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements, and we

have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit procedures conducted by us for the holding company's financials and the perusal of subsidiary auditors' reports in terms of their reports referred to in the sub- paragraph (a) of the Other Matters section below, were considered to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Approach towards Management Audit:

We have examined the Consolidated Financial statement taking into consideration:

  1. The terms of reference and terms of our engagement agreed upon with yourselves (the Board) in accordance with our engagement letter dated May 17, 2023, in connection with the Management audit of the consolidated financial statements of Eros Media World PLC, wherein in a filing dated April 25, 2022, submitted to the SEC via Form 6-K,the Company reported the successful completion of the previously announced sale/demerger of the STX Filmworks Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) ("STX"). The demerger condition was determined to have existed as of the balance sheet date on March 31, 2022, by the management, as seconded by the audit committee. The management of Eros decided to sell its investment in STX in January 2022 as informed through Form 6-Kfiled with the SEC, and the demerger was finalized on April 25, 2022. These facts were considered for an independent expert's opinion on the matter, whose opinion matched with the management & audit committee's assertion for non-consolidationof STX's financials and other reporting thereof.
  2. Concepts of test checks and materiality to obtain reasonable assurance based on verification of evidence supporting the Consolidated Financial Statement; and
  3. Relying on the audit opinion formed by the auditors of the respective subsidiaries (more specifically referred to in the sub-paragraph (b) of the Other Matters section below).

Disclaimer of Opinion

  1. Two entities are included in the consolidated financial statements, viz Eros International Limited (UK) ("EIL UK") & Eros Network Limited (UK), however, Eros International Limited (UK) is currently under administration under the local laws, wherein Eros Network Limited is the holding entity of EIL UK, with no other operations. The management has asserted in this regard that they would be able to bring EIL UK out of administration, and the same has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, however, considering the fact that the same has not yielded such results from the previous year's financial statements to current years financials, we are of the opinion that the said two entities should not be included in the consolidation and hence, a disclaimer of opinion is issued thereof. Since the transactions with these two entities were complex and included inter-group and holding-subsidiary eliminations, the quantification of the impact on the underlying financial statements was not possible, and hence they have not been quantified.
  1. The determination of the classification of leases, including lease deposits, and the recognition of right-of-use assets (ROA) and lease liabilities have not been converted to US GAAP and are based on IFRS. As the convergence was not done, the impact on the underlying financial statements could not be ascertained and hence have not been quantified.
  2. Bondholders register for the holders of bonds issued by the company was not provided to us.

Qualified Opinion:

The Statutory Auditors of Eros International Media Limited ("EIML") have issued a qualified opinion, with the following paragraph as the basis for their qualification:

"With reference to Note 55 of the Standalone Financial Statements, the Company has trade receivables of INR 40,645 Lakhs from Eros Worldwide FZ LLC ("EWW")("Company having significant influence"), and INR 8,652 Lakhs from Eros International Limited UK (fellow subsidiary of EWW) and INR 2,884 Lakhs from Eros International USA Inc. (fellow subsidiary of EWW). Dues of EWW of INR 32,577 Lakhs are overdue. As per the management accounts for year ended March 31, 2022 provided to us, net worth of these companies has been eroded and has incurred losses in that year. Further, EWW has made significant write down in the carrying amount of film content. Considering the financial position of these companies, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to comment on the extent of the recoverability of the carrying value of the above receivables and the consequential effects on standalone financial statements."

EIML is a material subsidiary with a 41% share of the total consolidated revenue of the company, and Eros Worldwide FZ LLC, is also determined as a material subsidiary with a 23% share of total consolidated revenue of the company. The impact of the said qualification is USD 227.82 Million (basis closing conversion rates as at financial year end), as enumerated by the component auditor of EIML and converted to USD terms by us as the auditors for

EMW PLC.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company (Eros) will continue as a going concern. The Company (Eros) has incurred an operating loss of $ 9.6 million in the current year ended March 31, 2022. Further, the Company has an equity deficit as of the balance sheet date of $ 796.17 million. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in the aforesaid note, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The underlying financial statements have been prepared by the management on a going-concern basis, basis the management's evaluation in this regard.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this above matter.
