NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Description of business

Eros International Plc (“Eros” and the “Company”) and its subsidiaries’ (together “the Company” or “the Group”) principal activities include the acquisition, co-production and distribution of Indian films and related content. Eros International Plc is the Group’s ultimate parent company. It is incorporated and domiciled in the Isle of Man. The address of Eros International Plc’s registered office is First Names House, Victoria Road, Douglas, Isle of Man IM2 4DF.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim financial reporting” as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by IASB and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included within our annual report, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2018 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). The accounting policies applied are consistent with the policies that were applied for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 other than the new standard adopted. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors of Eros and authorized for issue on February 16, 2019.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Group is exposed to uncertainties arising from the global economic climate and also in the markets in which it operates. Market conditions could lead to lower than anticipated demand for the Group’s services and exchange rate volatility could also impact reported performance. The Group has considered the impact of these and other uncertainties and factored them into their financial forecasts and assessment of covenant headroom.

The net monetary assets and liabilities position at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 are positive. Further, the Group have generated positive operating cash flow before incurring capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. During nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Group’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance (and available mitigating actions), show that the Group will be able to operate within the expected limits of the facilities and provide headroom against the covenants for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Group received funding from Reliance Industries amounting $46,666 and is expected to receive an additional investments through institutional or retail investors. For this reason, Management continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

3. NEW STANDARDS ADOPTED AS AT APRIL 1, 2018

Adoption of IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

On April 1, 2018, the Group adopted IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (‘IFRS 15’), using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts as of April 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2018 are presented under IFRS 15, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under IAS 18, Revenue (‘IAS 18’).

Revenue arises mainly from production and distribution of media content, television syndication or satellite rights and digital and ancillary rights.

The Group determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

3. Determination of the transaction price

4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation/s are satisfied.

In all cases, the total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those services.

At contract inception, the Group assesses the services promised in the contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a service (or bundle of services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Group considers all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts within ‘Trade and other payables’ in the Statement of Financial Position. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognises either a contract asset or accrued receivable within ‘Trade and other receivables’ in the Statement of Financial Position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

For certain content licensing arrangements, the Group’s collection period range between 2 – 3 years from contract inception date. Under IFRS 15, an entity needs to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provides the customer or the entity with a significant benefit. As such, for arrangements where the implied collection period (or normal credit term) is considered to be more than 1 year, revenue is recognised after adjusting the promised amount of consideration for a significant financing component, using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contract inception. The effects of financing, i.e. unwinding of the financing component, is recognised separately from revenue from contracts with customers in the Statement of Income, within ‘Finance income’. Any subsequent change in collection date from the anticipated collection date considered on the contract inception date has been recognised separately in the Statement of Income, within ‘Other gains/(losses), net’.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, revenue amounting to $7,603 is included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

In case of television syndication rights, as on December 31, 2018, there were certain films in respect of which rights have not been transferred either because the delivery of the content has not been made or effective date mentioned in the contract has not arrived as on the reporting date. The aggregate amount of license fees allocated to the above movies for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 is $11,810.

As such, the Group has performance obligations associated with fixed commitments in customer contracts for future services that have not yet been recognized in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements amounting to $7,387 as of December 31, 2018. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 80% of these remaining performance obligations by 12 months with the balance recognition thereafter.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Group generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses.

Adoption of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments"

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (‘IFRS 9’), using the modified retrospective method applied as of April 1, 2018. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ requirements with effect from April 1, 2018. When adopting IFRS 9, the Group elected not to restate prior periods. Rather, differences arising from the adoption of IFRS 9 in relation to classification, measurement, and impairment are recognized in opening retained earnings as of April 1, 2018.

Major changes in IFRS 9 as compared to IAS 39 is on account of introduction of the expected credit loss model and the changes in categories of financial assets and financial liabilities.

The adoption of IFRS 9 has mostly impacted the following areas:

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

• The classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets. Management holds most financial assets to hold and collect the associated cash flows.

• The impairment of financial assets applying the expected credit loss model. This applies now to the Group’s trade and other receivables. For contract assets arising from IFRS 15 and trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the twenty-four month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.

• The measurement of available for sale equity investments at cost less impairment. This investment is now measured at fair value with changes in fair value presented in other comprehensive income.

• The recognition of gains and losses arising from the Group’s own credit risk. The Group continues to elect the fair value option for certain financial liabilities which means that fair value movements from changes in the Group’s own credit risk are now presented in other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss.

Accounting and reporting pronouncements not yet adopted

Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published that were not effective as of December 31, 2018. These will be mandatory for later periods. Those which are considered to be relevant to Group’s operations are set out below.

IFRS 16, “Leases”, substantially changes the financial statements as the majority of leases for which the Company is the lessee will become on-balance sheet liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. The lease liability reflects the net present value of the remaining lease payments, and the right-of-use asset corresponds to the lease liability, adjusted for payments made before the commencement date, lease incentives and other items related to the lease agreement. The standard replaces IAS 17, “Leases”.

Upon adoption of the new standard, a portion of the annual operating lease costs, which is currently fully recognized as a functional expense above EBITDA (non GAAP measure), will be recorded as interest expense, and the other portion will be recognized as amortization of right-of-use asset. With respect to the cash flow statement, the portion of the annual lease payments recognized as a reduction of the lease liability will be recognized as an outflow from financing activities, which currently is fully recognized as an outflow from operating activities. Given the leases involved and the interest rate environment, the Group does not expect these effects to be significant.

The Group will implement the new standard on April 1, 2019, and has evaluated the modified retrospective method, with right-of-use assets measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of the prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to those leases recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application and will not restate prior years. The final decision on the transition approach to be used shall be taken by March 31, 2019. There are no subleases or impacts on account of leases where the Group is acting as a lessor.

IFRIC 23, “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”: In June 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS interpretation IFRIC 23 — Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12.

EROS INTERNATIONAL PLC

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

According to IFRIC 23, companies need to determine the probability of the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that the companies have used or plan to use in their income tax filing which has to be considered to compute the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

· Full retrospective approach – Under this approach, IFRIC 23 will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

· Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying IFRIC 23 recognized by adjusting equity on initial application, without adjusting comparatives

The effective date for adoption of IFRIC 23 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, though early adoption is permitted. The Group does not believe that this amendment will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 19

In February, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 19 to address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:

Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event

Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset)

The effective date for IAS 19 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, though early adoption is permitted. Given that the Group does not have any amendments to its defined benefit plan, the amendment does not have any impact on the Group.

There are no other IFRS standards or interpretations not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

4. SEASONALITY

The Group’s financial position and results of operations for any period fluctuate due to film release schedules. Film release schedules take account of holidays and festivals in India and elsewhere, competitor film releases and sporting events.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in the following three categories:

· Level 1 - fair value measurement derived from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

· Level 2 - fair value measurement derived from inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

· Level 3 - fair value measurement derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, where active market quotes are not available. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs, and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. Due to the range of potential outcomes in valuing these investments in unquoted equity instruments, the management was unable to give, with reasonable certainty, a fair value in the absence of detailed financial and/or valuation related information. Management has therefore held it at the carrying value which equates to the fair value on the reporting date.

Reconciliation of Gross Revenue (Non- GAAP)

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company has presented Gross Revenue. The Company uses Gross Revenue along with other IFRSs measures to evaluate operating performance. Gross Revenue is defined as reported revenue adjusted in respect of significant financing component that arises on account of normal credit terms provided to catalogue customers.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA along with other IFRSs measures to evaluate operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for (gains)/impairments of available-for-sale financial assets, profit/loss on held for trading liabilities (including profit/loss on derivatives), transactions costs relating to equity transactions, share based payments, loss/(gain) on sale of property and equipment, Loss on de-recognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost, net, Credit impairment loss, net, adjustment towards arisen significant discounting, component loss on financial liability (convertible notes) measured at fair value through profit and loss, Loss on deconsolidation of a subsidiary and Impairment of goodwill.

Adjusted EBITDA, as used and defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company’s capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures and working capital changes or tax position. However, our management team believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our results of operations because this measure:

· is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;

· helps investors to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure.

See the supplemental financial schedules for reconciliations to IFRSs measures in the table below, which presents a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we experience routine claims and legal proceedings. It is the opinion of our Management, based on information available at this time, that none of the current claims and proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For details, see the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included within our Annual Report.

· Beginning on November 13, 2015, Eros International Plc was named a defendant in five substantially similar putative class action lawsuits filed in federal court in New Jersey and New York by purported shareholders of the Company. The three actions in New Jersey were consolidated, and, on May 17, 2016, were transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York where they were then consolidated with the other two actions on May 27, 2016. On September 25, 2017, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a Memorandum & Order dismissing all of the claims that were asserted in the consolidated class action with prejudice. On October 23, 2017, lead plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal, individually and on behalf of the putative class, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On August 21, 2018, the Court of Appeals issued a Summary Order affirming the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice. Given the uncertainty inherent in these matters, based on assessment made after taking appropriate legal advice, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will be unfavorable. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in Group’s consolidated financial statements.
