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 for the year March 31, 2025. 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.
For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have
fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section
of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to
respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the •
accompanying standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters	How our audit addressed the Key audit matter
Revenue recognition - Refer Note 26 to the standalone financial statements
The Company recognizes revenue when the control of goods being sold is transferred to the customer. The Company''s revenue relates to restaurant and confectionary sales and services to customers. Due to high level of transaction across various units, situated across India, there exists a risk of misstatement of the timing and amount of revenue recognized to achieve specific performance targets or expectations. The Company also has franchisee arrangements and revenue share arrangements for royalty/ fee based on sales. The Company and its external stakeholders focus on revenue as a key performance indicator, which could lead to recognition of revenue without meeting the revenue recognition criterion. In view of the above we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.	We have carried out following audit procedure: • Assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition as per the relevant accounting standards. • Evaluated the design and implementation of key internal financial controls and their operating effectiveness with respect to revenue recognition transactions selected on a sample basis. • Performed substantive testing of sales by selecting samples of sales made at certain restaurants using statistical sampling and tested the underlying documentation including kitchen order tickets (KoT). • Reviewed the reconciliation of revenue recorded for the year with collections through cash, credit card and aggregators, as applicable to confirm that revenue recorded is supported by collections. • Perused selected samples of key contracts with aggregators and franchisees to understand the terms and conditions particularly relating to revenue share, royalty & fee payments. • Evaluated whether the disclosures included in the notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements are in conformity with the applicable standard.
Ind AS 116 Leases (Refer Note 6 and Note 36 to standalone financial statements)
Ind AS 116 has had a significant impact on the reported assets, liabilities, and the income statement of the Company. Impact of the Ind AS 116 transition is reliant upon a number of key estimates, determining the appropriate discount rates and determination of Short-Term Leases or Leases with variable terms, which are not considered. There is a risk that the lease data which is used in the calculation of Ind AS 116 transition calculation is incomplete or inaccurate. In view of the above, this is considered as a key audit matter.	We have carried out following audit procedure • Assessed the design and implementation of the key controls relating to the determination of the Ind AS 116 transition impact disclosure. • We read a sample of contracts to assess whether leases have been appropriately identified agreed the inputs used in the quantification to the lease agreements the discount rate applied and performed computation checks. • Assessed the accuracy of the lease data by testing the lease data captured by Management for a sample of leases through the inspection of lease documentations. • Tested the completeness of the lease data by reconciling the Company''s existing lease commitments to the lease data used in the Ind AS 116. • Verification of the data for recognition of lease liability, right of use assets, depreciation and interest. • Evaluated whether the disclosures included in the notes to the Standalone financial statements are in conformity with the applicable standard.

Information Other than the 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.

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 during the course of our 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.

Management and Board of Director''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of 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 including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with
the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
• Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 the 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 and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

''Those charged with governance 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 standalone 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
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 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 the Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and Board of Directors 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 statements 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.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the standalone financial statements 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 reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit
i 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.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Speciality Restaurants Limited (the "Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 as amended (the "Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, and its profit and 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 of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) as 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

1. Note 35 to the standalone financial results, which describes the recognition of deferred tax asset of Rs 333.88 million.

2. Note 40(a) of the standalone financial statements, which describes the reversal of provision for impairment (net off depreciation/ amortization) of an amount of Rs 83.95 million on account of reassessment of impairment test towards the right of use assets and property, plant and equipment and improved profitability situation, which was recognised earlier.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

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 for the year March 31, 2023. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters	How our audit addressed the Key audit matter
Revenue recognition - Refer Note 19 to the standalone financial statements
The Company recognizes revenue when the control of goods being sold is transferred to the customer. The Company''s revenue relates to restaurant and confectionary sales and services to customers. Due to high level of transaction across various units, situated across India, there exists a risk of misstatement of the timing and amount of revenue recognized to achieve specific performance targets or expectations. The Company also has franchisee arrangements and revenue share arrangements for royalty/ fee based on sales. The Company and its external stakeholders focus on revenue as a key performance indicator, which could lead to recognition of revenue without meeting the revenue recognition criterion. In view of the above we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.	We have carried out following audit procedure: • Assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition as per the relevant accounting standards. • Evaluated the design and implementation of key internal financial controls and their operating effectiveness with respect to revenue recognition transactions selected on a sample basis. • Performed substantive testing of sales by selecting samples of sales made at certain restaurants using statistical sampling and tested the underlying documentation including kitchen order tickets (KoT). • Reviewed the reconciliation of revenue recorded for the year with collections through cash, credit card and aggregators, as applicable to confirm that revenue recorded is supported by collections. • Perused selected samples of key contracts with aggregators and franchisees to understand the terms and conditions particularly relating to revenue share, royalty & fee payments. • Evaluated whether the disclosures included in the notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements are in conformity with the applicable standard.
Ind AS 116 Leases (Refer Note 4b and Note 29 to standalone financial statements)
Ind AS 116 has had a significant impact on the reported assets, liabilities, and the income statement of the Company. Impact of the Ind AS 116 transition is reliant upon a number of key estimates, determining the appropriate discount rates and determination of ShortTerm Leases or Leases with variable terms, which are not considered. There is a risk that the lease data which is used in the calculation of Ind AS 116 transition calculation is incomplete or inaccurate. In view of the above, this is considered as a key audit matter.	We have carried out following audit procedure • Assessed the design and implementation of the key controls relating to the determination of the Ind AS 116 transition impact disclosure. • We read a sample of contracts to assess whether leases have been appropriately identified agreed the inputs used in the quantification to the lease agreements the discount rate applied and performed computation checks. • Assessed the accuracy of the lease data by testing the lease data captured by Management for a sample of leases through the inspection of lease documentations. • Tested the completeness of the lease data by reconciling the Company''s existing lease commitments to the lease data used in the Ind AS 116. • Verification of the data for recognition of lease liability, right of use assets, depreciation and interest. • Evaluated whether the disclosures included in the notes to the Standalone financial statements are in conformity with the applicable standard.
Deferred tax asset - (Refer Note 35 to standalone financial statements)
The recognition and measurement of deferred tax items requires determination of differences between the recognition and the measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in accordance with the Income Tax Act and other applicable tax laws including application of ICDS and financial reporting in accordance with IND AS. Assessment of Deferred Tax Assets is done by the management at the close of each financial year taking into account forecasts of future taxable results. We have considered the assessment of deferred tax liabilities and assets as a key matter due to the importance of management''s estimation and judgment and the materiality of amounts.	• The key matter was addressed by performing audit procedures which involved assessment of underlying process and evaluation of internal financial controls with respect to measurement of deferred tax and reperformance of calculations and assessment of the items leading to recognition of deferred tax in light of prevailing tax laws and applicable financial reporting standards. • Our audit procedures consisted of challenging management''s key assumptions relating to estimation of future taxable profits available for utilization of deferred tax assets. We have also considered the sensitivity to reasonable possibility of changes in key assumptions to ascertain whether these possible changes have a material effect on the availability of future taxable profits within the period available for utilization of deferred tax assets. • Furthermore, we assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures in the standalone financial statements.

Information Other than the 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.

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 during the course of our 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.

Management and Board of Director''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of 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 including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 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 and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance 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 standalone 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 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 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, 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 and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and Board of Directors 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 statements 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.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements 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 reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 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 "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ''Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements'' section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Speciality Restaurants Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS 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. 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 respective 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.

Auditor''s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company 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") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 were 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 judgement, 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us 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 March 31, 2018, based on the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting 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.

ANNEXURE "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ''Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements'' section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SPECIALITY RESTAURANTS LIMITED ("the Company") as of 31 March, 2017 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. 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.

Auditor''s 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") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us 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, 2017, 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.
