We draw attention to Note 48 to the consolidated financial statements: <br></br> a. As per clause (v) of Schedule 2 to the Framework Agreement, Saraf Group shall have the option to buy the Hyatt Regency, Mumbai (the principal asset of the Company) from the Holding Company any time after the successful withdrawal of CIRP and revocation of the Trading suspension. Moreover, in case of exercise of such option by Saraf Group, neither the Holding Company nor Saraf Group shall be liable to pay any other amount to each other. Though the Holding Company is not a party to the said Framework Agreement, the subsequent actions of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, in seeking and obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Holding Company to secure the amounts received from Saraf Group to create charge/lien over Hyatt Regency Mumbai indicates that the Board of Directors of the Holding Company have taken cognizance of the Framework Agreement. We also note that in the audited financial statements of Novak Hotels Private Limited, the party who has been identified by Saraf Group as the person who has funded the said amount of Rs. 39,000 lakhs has stated these amounts as advances for acquiring Hyatt Regency, Mumbai. <br></br> <br></br> <br></br> <br></br> <br></br> In this regard, the following matters are noted and hereby reported: <br></br> i. Considering the provisions of the Framework Agreement providing an option to Saraf Group to acquire Hyatt Regency, Mumbai and manner of presentation of such amounts by the Group Company of Saraf Group, we are unable to state if the classification of amounts received is in the nature of a borrowing or an advance for sale of assets and the presentation of such amounts as non-current. <br></br> ii. Section 180(1)(a) of the Act restricts the power of the Board of Directors from sale, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the Holding Company without the prior approval of the members of the Holding Company. In the instant case, the approval of the members of the 1.Holding Company was obtained only for creating security on the assets and the information regarding the exercise of option granted to Saraf Group was not informed to the members. <br></br> iii. Though the members of the Holding Company approved creation of a charge / security on Hyatt Regency, Mumbai, the Holding Company is yet to file the necessary forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and therefore is not in compliance with the requirements of the Act. <br></br> iv. If the intention is to sell Hyatt Regency, Mumbai in return of the fund infusion by Saraf Group, these financial statements should have been prepared considering the requirement of Ind AS 105 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Also refer our reporting on Going Concern assumption in paragraph 3 below. <br></br> <br></br> b. The Holding Company has not recognized interest expense of Rs. 7,845.07 lakhs and certain expenses of Rs. 1,598.39 lakhs towards reimbursement, as claimed by Saraf Group. In the absence of agreed terms and conditions in respect of the amounts received, we are unable to comment on the amount of interest that should have been accrued by the Holding Company in these Consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding the above, if the amounts received are in the nature of borrowings as considered by the Holding Company, as per section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, such borrowings shall have a minimum interest rate that is not lower than the prevailing yield of one year, three year, five year or ten year government security closest to the tenor of the loan. However, even considering the minimum rate of interest as stipulated in Section 186(7) of the Act, such interest amount that has not been recognised in these consolidated financial statements is expected to be material and will represent a substantial proportion of the consolidated financial statements. <br></br> <br></br> c. Further, there is an unreconciled balance of Rs. 242.64 lakhs in the amounts stated as borrowings in note 22 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, the recorded balance in the consolidated financial statements being lower. <br></br> Adverse opinionRepetitive1. Novak Hotels Private Limited ("Saraf Group" or lender) had advanced an amount of Rs. 37,100 lakhs till March 31, 2024 and further Rs.1,900 Lakhs during the year thus aggregating to Rs.39,000 Lakhs to the Holding Company which was utilized for making all payments to creditors, all other regulatory and necessitated expenses. The amount was received in terms of a framework agreement between the promoters of the Holding Company and Saraf Group entered into as part of the insolvency resolution process of the Holding Company. Whilst the Holding Company is not a party to the framework agreement, the Holding Company has been informed by its promoters, who are also on the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, that the amount was in the nature of a loan and has accordingly been disclosed as Borrowings in note 22 to the consolidated financial statements. The Holding Company had recognized an interest expense of Rs. 2,200 lakhs during the previous year ended March 31, 2024. Further, the Holding Company has recognized an interest expense of Rs. 198 lakhs being 9% p.a. on Rs.2,200 lakhs during the financial year 2024-25 and Rs. 198 lakhs during the F.Y. 2025-26.The impact of audit qualifications are not quantifiableThe impact of audit qualifications are not quantifiableAdverse opinion2. The Holding Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis considering the approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 and the steps being taken by the Holding Company to meet its regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. However, the Groups current liabilities exceeds the current assets by Rs. 38,896.24 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Considering the above and in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the Holding Companys ability to meet its obligations, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Groups ability to continue as a going concern and the consolidated financial statements have not been prepared on any other basis of accounting acceptable in the circumstances and also do not adequately disclose this matter.Adverse opinionRepetitive2. The Holding Company owns Hotel Hyatt Regency in Mumbai (Hotel). The lockdown and restrictions imposed on various activities due to COVID -19 pandemic in India had significantly and adversely affected the operations of the Hotel. The Holding Company could not run its Hotel operations as funding restrictions had been imposed by one of the lender banks. Despite Central Governments/Reserve Bank of Indias scheme to provide financial support to the beleaguered hospitality industry through the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), the lender bank of the Hotel refused to release the funds that the Company was entitled to under ECLGS and needed as a lifeline for normalizing its operations. Such actions of the lender bank led to suspending of the operations of the Hotel in June 2021, which in turn resulted in the Holding Companys financial distress. On August 19, 2021, lender bank filed Section 7 application before the Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), New Delhi Bench IV claiming a default of an amount of Rs. 26,407.35 lakhs. The Adjudicating Authority (NCLT), New Delhi passed an order dated September 16, 2022 admitting the section 7 petition and initiated Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the Holding Company. On January 09, 2024, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 submitted by the promoters and suspended Directors of the Holding Company. With the approval of the settlement proposal, the order dated September 16, 2022 admitting section 7 application under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 has been set aside and the CIRP of the Holding Company has been closed. The Holding Company is in the process of complying with all regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. Considering the above, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that the Holding Company will continue as going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements by the Board of Directors.The impact of audit qualifications are not quantifiableThe impact of audit qualifications are not quantifiableAdverse opinion3. The Holding Company has neither provided us with proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of property, plant and equipment nor has provided us with the information regarding the physical verification of property, plant and equipment. Therefore, we are unable to comment on the existence of the property, plant and equipment balance of Rs. 1,491.64 lakhs as stated in note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Adverse opinionRepetitive3. The Holding Company is revived on 9th January, 2024 since than the Management is busy with doing pending compliances with respect of BSE and NSE Stock Exchange and other concerned Authorities. The Mumbai hotel is in shut condition as on date, however, the Holding Company is in process to evaluate PPE (Property, Plant & Machinery) by way of physical verification along-with location of each item before commencing the operation.The impact of audit qualifications are not quantifiableThe impact of audit qualifications are not quantifiableAdverse opinion4. Outstanding recoverable/payables balances with the Government Authorities are subject to reconciliation with the statutory records and consequential adjustment, if any. Further, in the absence of complete period details of statutory dues payable as referred in note 51 to the consolidated financial statements, we are unable to comment on the adequacy of interest expense on statutory dues recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2026.Adverse opinionRepetitive4. In view of management disputes, financial and operational issues and subsequent commencement of CIRP in respect of the Holding Company w.e.f. 16th September 2022, the Holding Company was not able to comply with certain compliance requirements as stated the Secretarial Audit Report. Also, certain records of the Holding Company could not be retrieved due to lack of resources. However, after the closure of CIRP on 9th January 2024, the Holding Company is in the process of complying with all applicable laws and earnest efforts are being made by the Holding Company in this regard. Some of the old liabilities which are under reconciliation with the books, however doing thing any material consequential impact will not be arisen.
