Auditor Report of Premier Ltd.

Mar 31, 2024

We have audited the standalone financial statements of M/s. Premier Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the balance sheet as at 31^st March, 2024 and the statement of Profit and Loss
(Including Other Comprehensive Income), Statement of changes in Equity and Statement of Cash
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
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,
except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our
report, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by 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 31^st March,
2024, its loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. For reasons mentioned in note no. 35 of the standalone financial statements, the Company
has not assessed impairment of carrying value of tangible assets, capital work in progress
and intangible assets in accordance with requirements of Indian Accounting Standard 36
on "Impairment of Assets". We are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
about the recoverable amount of the Company''s tangible assets, capital work in progress
and intangible assets. Consequently, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments
to carrying value are necessary and consequential impacts on the statement. Further, as
mentioned in note no. 1 to these standalone financial statements, the CoC has approved
the resolution plan and approval petition for the same is pending before the NCLT.
However, we are not privy to the terms & conditions of the approved plan as the same has
not been made available to us for our perusal. Therefore, we are unable to comment as to
whether any provisions are required for impairment in the value of the assets or cessation
of any liabilities.

2. In accordance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Code), the Resolution
Professional ("RP") has to receive, collate and admit the claims submitted by the creditors
as a part of Corporate Insolvency Process (”CIRP”). Such claims can be submitted to the
RP till the approval of the resolution plan by the CoC. The amount of claim admitted by
the RP may be different than the amount reflecting in the financial statements of the
Company as on 31^st March, 2024. Pending final outcome of the CIRP, no adjustments have
been made in these financial statements for the differential amount, if any. Hence,
consequential impact, if any, is currently not ascertainable and we are unable to comment
on possible financial impacts of the same.

3. We draw your attention to the fact that updation of personnel records was carried out
based on the availability of the documents, data, etc. In addition, employee dues including
retirement/ termination benefits were calculated based on the available data and only till
the initiation of the CIRP. Moreover, actuarial valuation for gratuity & privileged leave
was conducted only till the nine-month period ending 31^st December, 2020 being the quarter
immediately preceding the initiation of CIRP.

4. As mentioned in note no. 33 to the standalone financial statements, the Company is under
CIRP for the entire financial year. Under the CIRP, all the expenses incurred/ payments
made during the year by the Company are to be approved by the CoC. However, the
relevant records such as the minutes of the CoC meetings approving the expenses /
payments have not been provided to us. Therefore, we are unable to comment as to whether
all the expenses incurred during the year have been approved by the CoC.

5. The Company has not appointed a whole time Company Secretary for a period exceeding 6
months since the resignation of the previous Company Secretary as required by the provisions
of Section 203 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the other relevant rules made thereunder, thereby
violating the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

6. The Company has not appointed an internal auditor, as required under the provisions of
section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013 during the year under review, thereby violating the
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

7. Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern

We draw your attention to the fact that the Net Worth of the Company has been
completely eroded as at the year ended 31^stMarch, 2024. Further, the company has incurred
a further loss of Rs. 1,040.83 Lakhs (excluding other comprehensive income) for the year
ended 31^stMarch, 2024.

Further, the operations of the company have continued to remain suspended during the
year ended 31^stMarch, 2024 owing to the lack of working capital available to the company.

These conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant
doubt on the entity''s ability to continue as a going concern. Despite these circumstances,
for reasons mentioned in note no. 34, these standalone financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters 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 matters described under the Basis for Qualified Opinion section were determined to be key
audit matters to be communicated in our audit report.

Information other than the financial statements & Auditor''s report thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors /Resolution Professional / Management 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
auditors'' report thereon, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

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. If based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibility of the Management and Resolution Professional and Those Charged with
Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Honorable National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, admitted the petition for
initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under section 7 of the Insolvency
& Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (''the Code'') against the Company vide its order dated 29^th January,
2021 and appointed an Interim Resolution Professional (''IRP'') to manage the affairs of the
Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code. The Committee of Creditors (''CoC'') of
the Company, in its meeting held on 4^th March, 2021 confirmed the IRP as the Resolution
Professional (''RP'') for the Company. In view of the pendency of the CIRP, the management of
affairs of the Company and power of the Board of Directors are now vested with the RP.
Further as mentioned in note no. 1 to the standalone financial statements and in terms of Section
14(4) and 31(3) of the Code, until the resolution is approved by the Honorable NCLT,
moratorium shall continue to be in effect and accordingly, the RP shall continue to manage the
operations of the Company on a going concern basis during the CIRP. These standalone
financial statements have been prepared by the management of the Company and certified by
the RP.

The Company''s Board of Directors / Resolution Professional / Management is responsible for
the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the
preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards
specified 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 of 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 financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error. In preparing the financial statements, management is 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, or has no realistic alternative but to do
so.

Those Board of Directors / Resolution Professional / Management are also responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 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 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 results,
whether due to fraud or 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 risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or 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 circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the
Companies act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 the management;

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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''s 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 results or, if such disclosures 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; and

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial results,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results represent the
underlying transactions 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, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonable
knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality & qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit 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
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 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.

ANNEXURE - B to the Independent Auditor''s Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") referred to in paragraph 2 (f) on Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements of our report.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Premier Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors'' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion the Company has in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
