INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON
REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE FEDERAL BANK LIMITED
1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of THE FEDERAL BANK LIMITED ("the Bank") for the quarter ended 30th June, 2016 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 except for the matters set out in para 5 below. This Statement which is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India along with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Accounting Standard for Interim Financial Reporting (AS 25), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder in so far as they apply to Banking Companies and circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time. 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 misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Bank's personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
3. In the conduct of our review, 106 branches have been reviewed by either of us which covers 56 percent of the advances portfolio of the bank as at 30th June, 2016. We have also relied upon various returns received from the branches of the bank.
4. Based on our review conducted as stated above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Statement, prepared in accordance with the aforesaid Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India in so far as they apply to Banking Companies and circulars and guidelines issued by the RBI from time to time, 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 the financial results for the quarter ended 30th June, 2016 contains any material misstatement or has not been prepared in accordance with relevant prudential norms issued by the RBI in respect of income recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters.
5. The Pillar 3 disclosures and the leverage ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as set out in note no.4 of the Statement have not been subjected to our review.
6. Attention is drawn to note no. 8 of the Statement regarding deferment of shortfall arising from the sale of certain non-performing assets during the year 2015-16 in terms of RBI Master Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.2/21.04.048/2015-16 - Prudential Norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning pertaining to Advances, dated July 1, 2015, as amended and the unamortised balance as at 30th June, 2016 of Rs.6,504.86 Lakhs.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
