Going Concern: 
 
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the Group and the Company will have
sufficient funds to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future, covering at least twelve months from the
date of signing these financial statements. This is based on the Group's assessment of the business, sectoral developments,
underlying economic environment as well as approach towards addressing the business challenges faced by operating assets to
achieve optimistic solutions thereto. The Group is making cautious efforts to preserve and maximize the economic value of
the underlying power generation assets and in the process the Group has diluted its equity interest in Sai Wardha Power
Generation Limited and VS Lignite Power Private Limited. The Group is in discussion with various other parties for
potential dilution in some other plants as well. The Group believes that with support from the project stakeholders at each
of such assets it would be able to address the requirements of Going Concern at each of the same. However, the Group is
exposed to a number of operational, legal, financial, economic and political risks, including: 
 
Capital structure 
 
The Group is seeking additional equity financing and/or debt restructuring in respect of the KSK Mahanadi and other key
power plant projects in order to stabilise the projects development and the Groups financing and operating obligations. The
Group is currently pursuing a number of avenues in this regard and expects positive outcomes by the end of the financial
year. However there can be no certainty as to the outcome of these negotiations or the impact on the finances of the
Group. 
 
Financial 
 
The Group requires funds for both short term operational needs as well as for long term investment programs, mainly in
construction projects for its power plants. As at 30 September 2017, the Group has net current liabilities of US $ 195,077
and is dependent on a continuation of both short term and long term debt financing facilities. A number of the facilities
that are due to expire at or before 30 September 2018 are in the process of being extended and have a rollover clause in a
number of cases, and the Group may refinance and/or restructure certain short term borrowings into long term borrowings and
will also consider alternative sources of financing, where applicable. The Directors consider that facilities will remain
available to the Group based on current trading, current covenant compliance and ongoing discussions with the Group's
primary lending consortium regarding future facilities and arrangements in respect of current borrowings. During the
period, the Group breached certain debt service covenant requirements in respect of loan facilities - the Group remains in
active discussions with its lenders with regard to the provision of facilities. 
 
Operational 
 
The Group continues to generate cash flows from current operations which are further expected to increase with improved PLF
in the existing 1200 MW KSK Mahanadi, and incremental cash flows upon expected commissioning of another two units of 600 MW
each and also on account of reduction in coal procurement costs with the new coal policy called 'SHAKTI'. These factors are
key assumptions with regard to management's forecasts and expectations. 
 
Legal and claims 
 
The Group is also involved in a number of on-going legal and claim matters. These may impact on the timing of receipt and
value of receivables recognised in the financial statements. For example, the Group has experienced delays and legal
challenge to the settlement of significant receivables, including c$276m recognized in respect of change in law claim under
PPA due to fuel input considerations, which the Group has recognized in accordance with the PPA, has obtained legal advice
in respect of and considered the recent ruling of Central Electrical Regulatory Commission and Honorable Supreme Court of
India in similarly placed power projects, as such management consider the entire claim as fully recoverable. In addition
the Group is subject to a number of claims, whilst the Group considers that it has a strong position of defense in respect,
these proceedings may result in outflows that are not currently recognized. For further details refer to note 8. 
 
Political environment 
 
Given the country and sector of operations the Group is exposed to political uncertainties that may result in changes in
government policy which may materially affect the business plans, of the Group and amounts recognised in the financial
statements. 
 
Commitments 
 
The Group also has significant capital commitments at the period-end of which a portion is due to be met during the next 12
months, primarily in respect of on-going plant construction projects at KSK Mahanadi. However, the Group currently has also
significant committed undrawn borrowing facilities, subject to certain conditions, amounting to approximately US $ 197,187
to meet its long term investment programmes. The Group has already entered in to Common Loan Agreement with the Lenders at
KSK Mahanadi with respect to cost overrun debt sanctioned of US $ 884,516 and the remaining draw down of these funds of US
$ 137,473 is not impacted by the current restructure negotiations or breaches on financing facilities. This will facilitate
drawing the balance of the debt depending upon the investment required for construction of project and resultant surpluses
of operational cash flows available to meet Group obligations. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Nonetheless Group monitors the situation on an on-going basis and plans alternative arrangements where possible. The
outcome of the above factors is subject to material uncertainty and may impact on the timing of the strategic development
of power plants, the Groups proportional equity holdings in significant projects and the going concern of the Group. 
 
However, the Directors continue to have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group are well placed to manage their
business risks and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors continue to
adopt the going concern basis of accounting when preparing these financial statements.

4.     Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 
 
There have been no significant changes in the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions applied for the
purposes of the preparation of these interim condensed Consolidated and Company financial statements. 
 
5.     Acquisition and Dilution 
 
a. change in non-controlling interest without change in control 
 
Dilution in KSK Mahanadi Power Company Limited 
 
During the period ended 30 September 2017, 6,221,868 equity shares in KSK Mahanadi Power Company Limited ("KMPCL") were
sold to non - controlling interest. Pursuant to this the economic interest of the Group in KMPCL has decreased from 64.40
percent to 64.30 percent resulting in a 0.10 percent decrease in Group's controlling interest in subsidiary without loss of
control. The aforesaid transaction is accounted as an equity transaction, and accordingly no gain or loss is recognised in
the consolidated income statement. The difference of US $ 17, between the fair value of the net consideration received US $
965 and the amount by which the non-controlling interest are adjusted US $ 947, is credited to 'Other reserve' within
consolidated statement of changes in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company. 
 
Dilution in KSK Energy Ventures Limited 
 
During the period ended 30 September 2017, 39,710,880 equity shares in KSK Energy Ventures Limited ("KEVL") were sold to
non - controlling interest. Pursuant to this the economic interest of the Group in KEVL has decreased from 57.83 percent to
48.46 percent resulting in a 9.37 percent decrease in Group's controlling interest in subsidiary without loss of control.
The aforesaid transaction is accounted as an equity transaction, and accordingly no gain or loss is recognised in the
consolidated income statement. The difference of US $ 23,627, between the fair value of the net consideration received US $
5,106 and the amount by which the non-controlling interest are adjusted US $ 28,733, is debited to 'Other reserve' within
consolidated statement of changes in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company. 
 
b. change in control 
 
Deconsolidation of Sai Wardha Power Generation Limited and VS Lignite Power Private Limited 
 
During the period ended September 30, 2017, under a Framework for Revitalizing Distressed Assets in the Economy by RBI and
as per the Prudential Norms on Change in Ownership of Borrowing Entities (Outside Strategic Debt Restructuring Scheme), the
lenders of Sai Wardha Power Generation Limited ('SWPGL') and VS Lignite Power Private Limited ('VSLPPL') have decided to
the change in ownership on April 28, 2017 and August 29, 2017 respectively, considered as reference date. This resulted in
transfer of 51% equity to lenders and loss of control by the Group over SWPGL and VSLPPL, effective reference date. The
Group holds 27.98% and 32.75% equity in SWPGL and VSLPPL respectively at reporting date. 
 
Pursuant to such change in control, the Group has derecognised the related carrying values of assets and liabilities of
above subsidiaries and recognised investments retained in these subsidiaries at fair value. The resulting gain has not been
recognised on prudent basis in these interim condensed Consolidated financial statements as the management is evaluating,
if any, impairment to net investments. The Group will recognise gain on above disposal post its aforesaid evaluation in the
year end financial statements.

KSK Mahanadi, the Group's largest thermal power generation plant with two units fully operational and balance units in
various stages of construction and commissioning is engaged in the generation and supply of power to four state utilities
of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh under Case 1 competitive bid Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The
respective PPAs in addition to the agreed tariff payable for the power supplied contains specific provisions providing for
tariff adjustment payment to the generator on account of Change in law. The Change in law provision essentially provides
reimbursement mechanism for all additional recurring or non-recurring expenditure incurred by the Generator towards new
costs levied / incurred post the bidding point. These claims under the PPA cover both (a) Claim on account of various
statutory duties, levies and cess levied by Central or State Governments or its instrumentalities; and (b) linkage coal
shortfall compensation with respective to Presidential Directive and Ministry of Power Notification to all Electricity
Regulators in India. KSK Mahanadi has made claims pursuant to the above PPA provisions in excess of US $ 348,886, wherein
claim pertaining to taxes amounts to US $ 99,573 and claim on account of short supply of coal pursuant to the Presidential
Directive amounts to US $ 249,312. However, notwithstanding its eligibility for the full claim as per the PPA, keeping in
view the regulatory commitments by the Government instrumentalities, the necessary legal and administrative process that
KSK Mahanadi has to pursue, on its internal evaluation of the facts and circumstances of the case on a prudent basis, KSK
Mahanadi has recognised a portion of the claim aggregating to US $ 275,519 in the books of accounts until date, wherein  
US $ 56,009 pertains to the current period. KSK Mahanadi has in its notices to the utilities submitted that it qualifies
for the composite scheme guidelines and hence Central Electrical Regulatory Commission (CERC) will be the relevant
appropriate authority to adjudicate the matter. While in the earlier year, the claims were to be determined by the State
Regulators, pursuant to a recent ruling by the Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (APTEL) with respect to multiple power
producers, the jurisdiction of CERC has been reaffirmed. Based on the bid guidelines, the PPA provisions and the legal
advice that KSK Mahanadi has obtained, the Group has made necessary amendments in its claim petitions and filed before
CERC. Based on the legal advice and recent ruling of CERC and Honourable Supreme Court of India in respect of a similarly
placed power project, KSK Mahanadi is confident that the entire claim amount is fully receivable.
