A Oneindia Venture

Auditor Report of KHFM Hospitality & Facility Management Services Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying Standalone financial statements of KHFM Hospitality & Facility Management Services
Ltd (“the Company”), which comprises of the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year
then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information^ hereinafter referred to as “the Standalone financial statements”)

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act,2013 (“the act”) in the manner so required and

give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of
the Company as at 31st March, 2025, and its profit (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the standalone financial statements under the provision of the Act and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to -

a) Note 30 of Standalone Financial Statements. The Company is exposed to various laws and regulations.
Consequently, provisions and contingent liabilities disclosures may arise from direct and indirect tax
proceedings, legal proceedings including employment/labour claims and other government regulatory matters.
The company assesses the need to make provisions or to disclose a contingent liability on case-to-case basis
considering the underlying facts of each litigation. As at 31st March, 2025, the Company has ascertained
contingent liabilities of Rs. 3,040.54 lakhs which includes disputed Service tax, GST, ESIC, Income Tax
liabilities and bank guarantees. The eventual outcome of the litigations may remain uncertain and estimation at
balance sheet date for ascertained/unascertained liabilities involves extensive judgement of management
including input from legal counsel due to complexity of each litigation. But considering the facts of the case, the
company and the tax advisors believe that the outcome should be in the favor of the company for its ascertained
contingent liabilities.

b) Note 39 of Standalone Financial Statements- Balances of certain trade receivables, trade and other payables
(including payables to micro, small and medium enterprises, capital creditors), and loans & advances are subject

to third party confirmations. The management is confident that this process will not have any material impact on
the financial statements.

c) Note 11 of Standalone Financial Statements- Contract Assets disclosed in the standalone financial results, where
there is an area of enhanced professional judgment relating to the recoverable work in progress (Contract Assets)
amounting to Rs. 3911.04 lakhs representing the value of work completed but are pending to be billed on
completion of billing milestones as on 31st March 2025. Recognition of unbilled revenue and related contract
assets depends on various factors and judgements, contractual commitments, shifts in the scope of work, client-
induced delays, negotiation processes, and modifications to the billing cycle period including few of those which
are awaiting final confirmations with clients of the company.

While we note that the recoverability of such assets is subject to future outcome, we consider this to be an area
of enhanced professional judgment due to the materiality of the amount. The management has represented that
these balances are fully recoverable based on the progress of underlying projects. However, requisite provisions
have been made against the same.

d) Note 26 & Note 11 of Standalone Financial Statements. The recording system regard to site expenses and related
site advances needs advancement to ensure completeness and relevant transaction trail. However, according to
the management estimates, the said transactions are fairly stated in the financial statements.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters (‘KAM’) are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of
the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.

The key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition was identified as key Audit Matter
since-

• There is an inherent risk around the accuracy and
existing of revenues recognized considering the
customized and complex nature of these contracts.

• Application of Revenue Recognition accounting
standard (Ind As 115 - Revenue from contracts with
customers) is complex and involves a number of
key judgements and estimates in mainly identifying
performance obligations, related transaction price
and estimating the future cost to completion of these
contracts, which is used to determine the percentage
of completion of the relevant performance
obligation.

Our Audit Procedures on revenue recognized from fixed
price contracts included:

• Obtained an understanding of the systems, process
and controls implemented by the management for
recording and computing revenue and the
associated contract assets.

• On selected specific/statistical samples of contracts,
we tested that the revenue recognized is in
accordance with the revenue recognition
accounting standard.

• We selected a sample of continuing and new
contracts and performed the following procedures:

> We read the agreements with the customers

> For Fixed price contracts, we have verified
the measurement of revenue for the extent
of delivery of performance obligations with
the actual and estimated cost of efforts as
per the projected budgets.

• Evaluated the identification of performance
obligations and the prescribed transaction.

• Tested the management’s computation of the
estimation of contract costs and onerous
obligations, if any.

• We performed analytical procedures as applicable
for reasonableness of revenues disclosed and
service offerings.

• We:

> Assessed that the estimates of costs to
complete were reviewed and approved by
appropriate designated management
personnel;

> Performed a retrospective analysis of costs
incurred with estimated costs to identify
significant variations and verified whether
those variations are required to be
considered in estimating the remaining
costs to complete the contract; and

> Inspected underlying documents and
performed analytics to determine
reasonableness of contract costs.

• Our audit procedures included the following:

> We evaluated the Company processes and
controls relating to the monitoring of trade
receivables and review of credit risks of
customers. We assessed the design and
tested the operating effectiveness of
relevant controls in relation to the process
adopted by management for testing the
impairment of these contract assets.

> As a part of substantive audit procedures,
we tested the ageing of contract assets. We
examined the Our audit procedures
included the following and ability to repay
the debt based on historical payment trends
and the reason for delay in collection of
trade receivables including any project
disputes. Further, we assessed the expected
credit loss impairment and the receipts and
certification after year-end. We assessed the
disclosures on the contract assets in Note 11
of financial statements.

Allowance for doubtful debts/ Provision for Expected Credit Loss

Allowance for doubtful debts was identified as key Audit
Matter since-

• Receivables comprise a significant portion of the liquid
assets of the Company.

• There is an inherent risk around the accuracy of the
company’s trade receivables being appropriately

provided for, particularly in cases where resolution is in
progress.

• The estimation of the allowance for trade receivables is
a significant judgement area and accordingly is
therefore considered a key audit matter.

• We assessed the validity of material long
outstanding receivables by considering, past
payment history and unusual patterns to identify
potentially impaired balances.

• The assessment of the appropriateness of the
allowance for trade receivables comprised a
variety of audit procedures including:

> Verifying the appropriateness and
reasonableness of the assumptions applied
in the
management’s assessment of the
receivables allowance.

> To address the risk of management bias, we
evaluated the results of our procedures
against audit procedures on other key
balances to assess whether or not there was
an indication of bias.

Information other than Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report but does not
include the standalone financial statements
and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditor’s

Report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, If, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions as applicable under the relevant laws
and regulations.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 with
respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
prescribed under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting
frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates
that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that
were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation
and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the

going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, of
has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud of error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud
of error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risks of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission,
misrepresentation, of the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstance. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial control with reference to standalone financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the

audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the company ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosers are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transaction and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate make
it probable that the economic decision of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the
results of our work and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the currents period and are therefore the key audit matter.
We describe the
se matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or

when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements as on 30th May 2024.

b. The figures for the previous periods / year are re-classified / re-arranged / re-grouped by the Management of the

Information other than Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditor’s Report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not covecthhe information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion ther eon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other inform is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, If, we conclude that there is a material missttihomimt; we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to

a. Standalone financial results relate to thmpany, which describes Site expenses, Advance for Site expenses, Employee Benefit expenses (including transactions related to provident fund, ESIC, profession tax & gratuity) for the year ended on 3kt March 2023. We perceived that the system of recording site expenses needs advancement to ensure transaction trail and related documentary evidences. Accordingly, we are impuissant to assess and quantify effect of aforesaid transaction on the financial statements. However, according to Company’s management estimates, the site expenses and related transactions are fairly stated in the financial statement and there are no material deficiencies. Our Opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid M atter.

b. In respect of Confirmations/ Reconciliation of balanfor secured and unsecured loans, trade receivables, trade and other payables (including micro and small enterprises) and Loans and Advances are awaiting confirmations / reconciliations. Accordingly, these reconciliations represent uncertainty with its potential impact on the consolidated financial results which we are unable to quantify and assess. However, the management is confident that on confirmation/ reconciliation there will not be any material impact on the financial statteme

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matters.

c. We draw attention to Contingent liabilities included in the standalone financial results in respect of Company, As at March 3( 2023 the Company has ascertained contingent liabilities of Rs.233 179 Lakhs in respect of Tax litigations and guarantees. In the opinion of Management, they apply significant judgement in estimating the likelihood of the future outcome in case when considerwhether, and

how much, to provide or in determining the required disclosure for the potential exposure of each item of Contingent liability. This is due to the highly complex nature and magnitude of the legal matters involved along with the fact that resolution of tax and legal proceedings may span over multiple years, and may involve protracted negotiation or litigation. These estimates could change substantially over time as new facts emerge and each legal case progress. In Our appditach we found that recording of the outstanding litigations against the Company for consistency with the previous years, enquired and obtain explanations for movement during the year, needs development for those matters where management concluded thatno provisions should be recognized, considering the adequacy and completeness of the company''s disclosures.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matters.

d. In respect of Contract Assets disclosed in the Stand alone financial results themoderate unpredictability relating to the retrievable work in progress (Contract Assets) amounting to Rs.3772.B lakhs representing the value of work completed but are pending to be billed on completion of billing milestones as on 3kt March 2023 b)he Company, The aforementioned contract assets are presently under various stages of negotiations and discussions, or awaiting final confirmations with various clients of the Company. Based on the current progress in each case, management is of thatvtew th said Contract assets are fully recoverable.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of aforesaid Matters.

e. We draw attention to Allowance for Bad and doubtful debts in respect o£ Nonnt Debtors reported in Standalone financial statement, Compahys written off Rs.4B.(4 Lacs in respect of Bad and Doubtful Debts during the year ended 3kt March, 2(23, however obligatory TCS Compliance in respect of Tax Collection at source on aforesaid Bad Debts are yet to be observed by the Company. In the opinion of management, TCS deduction applicability with respect to Bad Debts needs more legal clarity and were under discussion with the Tax advi sors.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thqgoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, of has no realistic alternative but t o do so.

Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud of error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuirce is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements

can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually!^aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statement s.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain oiralfessi skepticismthroughout the audit.

We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud of error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risks of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omisriomisrepresentation, of the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance. Under Section 43(3)(i) of the Act, we are ataosiiblepfor expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting polscused and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtainl, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention initorais aipbrt to

the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosers are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern:

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statement''s; sent the underlying transaction

and events in a manner that achieves fair present ation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate make it probable that the economic decis iof a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work and (ii) to evaluatfectthetf any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including saingny ificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with thdm eihtionships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were

of most signifiaace in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the currents period and are therefore the key audit matter. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in mdtyerare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
