Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

1. Opinion

We have audited the Separate financial statements (also known as Standalone Financial Statements) of NITCO Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, 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 a summary of material 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 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting

Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at 31st March 2025, and its losses (financial performance including Other Comprehensive Income), the Changes in

Equity and its Cash Flows for the year ended on that date.

2. Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act, and the Rules thereunder, and we have our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone

Financial Statements.

3. Emphasis of Matter i. Going Concern Assessment:

We draw attention to Note 38 b(iv) to the Standalone Financial Statement which states that in 2018, JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited ("JMFARC") had restructured Companys debt vide a Restructuring Agreement dated 27th March, 2018 Subsequently, the Company had committed default in ensuring the repayments of the restructuring facility. Hence, on 19th September, 2022 JMFARC revoked the restructuring of existing facilities (excluding the NCD and RPS facility) and the dues amounting to Rs. 2,42,762.93 Lakhs was reinstated, however in the books of accounts of the Company the loans were not reinstated as the Company was hopeful to get a revised resolution on the same. JMFARC had initiated proceedings with the Honble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for recovery of the outstanding balance. JMFARC had also filed the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Corporate Guarantors namely Melisma finance and Trading Private Limited (Erstwhile named as Aurella Estate and Investments Private Limited), entity having significant influence over the Company,

Nitco Realities Private Limited (Subsidiary) and Meghdoot Properties Private Limited, Feel Better Housing Private Limited, Maxwealth Properties Private Limited, Silver-Sky Real Estate Private Limited (4 step-down Subsidiaries). All the above petitions were at Pre-admission/ not admitted stage. In April 2024, JMFARC assigned its rights and obligations concerning the Companys debt to Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited ("AIIL").

During the year, a memorandum of intent of settlement dated 24.09.2024 between the Company and AIIL has been filed with the

Honble NCLT. The Honble NCLT has allowed the Company petition to be disposed of as having been withdrawn along with all the pending Interlocutory Application, if any.

On October 22, 2024, the Company and AIIL entered into a restructuring agreement and have agreed to restructure the reinstated outstanding debt obligations (excluding the NCD and RPS facility) which is Rs. 2,87,581.07 lakhs as of October 20, 2024, in the books of accounts the loans were not reinstated and the balance as at October 20, 2024 is Rs. 71,466.33 Lakhs. This restructuring involves revised repayment terms for sustainable debt, conversion of unsustainable debt into equity and additional financing commitments from the promoters and other investors (detailed below). The necessary approvals from shareholders were obtained by the Company vide EGM held on 15th November, 2024 and the in-principle approval from stock exchanges was also obtained in January 2025.

Key terms of the restructuring agreements are as follows:

a) Revised repayment terms for sustainable debt of Rs. 15,000.00 lakhs which was paid off from the fresh issue proceeds in the current year and conversion of part of unsustainable debt amounting to Rs. 1,03,781.25 lakhs of into 11,25,00,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share issued to AIIL.

b) infusion by the existing promoter of an amount of Rs 3,228.75 Lakhs through fresh issue of 35,00,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share and infusion of an amount of Rs. 5,398.93 Lakhs (being 25% of warrant amount) through issue of 2,34,10,000 convertible warrants on preferential allotment basis. c) Raising an aggregate amount of Rs. 37,696.12 lakhs through fresh issue of equity shares to third party investors of face value Rs. 10 each at a rate of Rs. 92.25 per equity share on preferential allotment basis.

The aforementioned issue of equity shares & convertible warrants on preferential allotment basis is in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018. Considering the above events, the Company has recognized a loss of Rs. 47,314.92 Lakhs as exceptional loss.

This loss, along with deterioration in the value of assets used to generate cash flows has lead the company to incur substantial operating losses in the current financial year.

These events or conditions have been mitigated by the following factors which represent significant progress in addressing the

Companys financial challenges:

• Most of these losses are one-time losses due to one-time settlement and deterioration in the value of assets.

• Due to the one-time settlement, there is rescheduling of loan repayments and also the company has been successful in obtaining additional capital.

• Pursuant to the renegotiation of Borrowings and infusion of capital through fresh issue of equity shares, the Company has made progress in addressing its working capital requirements and has improved the sales and operational performance.

• The Company has also repaid its sustainable debt amounting to Rs. 15,000.00 Lakhs from the funds received on infusion of capital and has converted an amount of Rs. 71,466.34 Lakhs from debt to equity, thereby reducing future debt liabilities and interest costs.

To strengthen the Companys operational foundation and support future growth, the Company acquired selected identified real estate assets/ shares of company(ies) from Related Parties of the Company for an aggregate amount of not more than Rs. 30,000 lakhs to develop the same as real estate projects.

• The Company has also progressed in Real estate development at the immovable property located at Kanjurmarg and MIDC, village Panchpakhadi Thane.

Based on our audit conducted, we have concluded that events or conditions have been identified and no material uncertainty exists relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entitys ability to continue as a going concern. ii. Refer Note 32 (A) to the Standalone Financial Statement, which describes that during the year, the Company concluded a one-time settlement with Life Insurance Corporation of India ("LIC") for its outstanding dues, which is approved by LIC on October 15, 2024.

As part of this settlement, the Company made the agreed payment, subsequently receiving a No Due Certificate from LIC dated

October 30, 2024. Consequently, the Company has recognized a gain of Rs. 855.39 lakhs arising from this settlement, which has been disclosed as an exceptional item in the standalone financial statement. Additionally, during the year the Company has accounted for the sale of its investment in New Vardhman Vitrified Pvt. Ltd. ("NVVPL"), as the requirement for No Objection Certificate from LIC no longer applies and recognized a gain of Rs. 275.00 lakhs as an exceptional item in the standalone financial statement. iii. Refer Note 38 (b)(ii) to the Standalone Financial Statement, Additional Director General Foreign Trade (ADGFT) had levied penalty of Rs. 17,000.00 lakhs which is confirmed by the Appellate bench of DGFT, New Delhi. No provision for the demand is made in the books. Management has received legal opinion that the order is bad in law. iv. Refer Note 3.3 to the Standalone Financial Statement, Management has considered impairment of Rs. 16,267.01 Lakhs in the carrying value of its Property, Plant and Equipment (excluding Land) at its Alibaug Unit. v. Refer Note 7 to the Standalone Financial Statement, Management has not made provision for impairment of Rs. 855.22 lakhs w.r.t. capital advance given to Saumya Buildcon Pvt Ltd. vi. Refer Note 12 (i) to the Standalone Financial Statement, Management has not made provision for impairment of Rs. 2,023.88 lakhs w.r.t. money invested / advanced to Nitco Realties Private Limited by way of Investments in Equity Shares and Loans. vii. Refer Note 43 to the Standalone Financial Statement, the balance with respect to certain bank balances, other current assets and liabilities confirmations are subject to and the balances are currently reported in the standalone financial statement as per the books of accounts.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

4. Key Audit Matters

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

5. Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditors 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.

6. Managements Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Companys 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, Changes in Equity and

Cash Flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS 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 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 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 Companys 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.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

7. Auditors Responsibility 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 auditors 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 judgement and maintain professional scepticism 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 controls 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 management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of managements 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 date of our auditors 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.

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 auditors 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.

1. Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements of NITCO LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal financial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements 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).

2. Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements based on the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements 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 Companys 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 Act.

3. Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements 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 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 with reference to Financial Statements 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 with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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 auditors 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 Companys internal financial controls system with reference to Standalone Financial Statements.

4. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Standalone Financial Statements

Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

5. Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements, 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 with reference to Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
