PRIYA LIMITED

Report on Financial Statements Adverse

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PRIYA LIMITED [CIN: L99999NH1986PLC040713] ("the Company"), which comprises of the balance sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other Comprehensive Loss), Statement of changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement 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 Financial Statements").

Based on our assessment and the information available to us, as well as the explanations provided, we acknowledge the significance of the matter outlined in the basis for Adverse Opinion section of our report. Considering this, along with the details emphasized in the Emphasis of Matters paragraph, we conclude that the Ind AS Financial Statements meet the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act"). They present a true and fair view in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, as amended, and other generally accepted accounting principles in India. These statements accurately reflect the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2026, including its loss, total comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the financial year ending on that date.

Basis for Adverse Opinion

1. We draw your attention to note no. 33 of Financial Statements regarding the Companys account being declared as Non-Performing Asset (NPA) and received a notice under Section 13(4) of Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (the Act) for symbolic attachment of properties. The company has incurred an overall operational loss; however, due to the recognition of notional profit, the company has reported an overall profit in the current quarter. The Company has accumulated losses which exceed its net worth at the balance sheet date resulting in negative net worth and due to blockage of bank accounts, revenue from operation during the current year is nil. During the FY 2020- 21, the Company has also closed all its branches except Mumbai branch, had written off/ sold fixed assets located at such branches and has also laid off maximum employees across all branches since the business operations are nil. Further, the Company has also received summons from Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) Mumbai applied by all the three lender banks.

2. As informed by the Management, properties situated in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai were auctioned by the Bank following non-payment of dues, despite issuance of demand notices. The possession of these properties had been voluntarily handed over to the Bank. However, as of 31st March 2026, information regarding the auction proceeds through banks remains unavailable. Accordingly, the accounting adjustment between the outstanding borrowings and the value of assets sold were accounted in current year. However, properties belonging to Brent Properties Investment Pvt. Ltd. and Cheshire Properties Investment Pvt. Ltd., which were invoked under corporate guarantees, auctioned by Indian Bank for Rs.4.56 crore each. These transactions were identified through the respective Form 26AS statement of F.Y. 2024-25. Furthermore, in the year, Companys properties invoked under collateral securities, were auctioned by Indian Bank for Rs. 9.03 crore, which company became aware of the transactions through the respective Form 26AS statements. In the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2026, as it arises from non-recurring transactions relating to the disposal of property assets by bank.

3. For the year ended 31st March 2026, the company incurred a loss of 90.25 lakhs for the quarter and profit of 434.50 for the year ended 31st March 2026. The company reported an overall profit primarily due to the recognition of Exceptional Items amounting to a notional gain of Rs. 803.39 lakhs. This gain represents the notional profit arising from the auction of office premises conducted by the bank. Although the company incurred an operational loss during the year, the inclusion of this notional profit under Exceptional Items has resulted in the presentation of an overall profit in the financial statements. The Company has not made any provision for tax on account of the auction of the property by the bank as part of the collateral security. The management has relied on Income Tax judgments wherein it was held that capital gains tax is not applicable in cases where the capital asset is appropriated towards the security/ guarantee provided, and the consideration is not received by the property owner. Consequently, the precise impact on the companys profitability and net worth cannot be reliably assessed at this stage.

4. Bank of Maharashtra, Indian Bank and Union Bank of India have declared the company, promoters, directors and corporate guarantors as wilful defaulters, the management of the company has represented against the same.

5. During the previous financial year, the Company has deposited Rs.175 lacs in "non-lien account" with Indian Bank as a onetime settlement out of proposed amount of Rs. 22.81 crores including realization from auction of the above- mentioned properties.

6. Considering such factors and based on the evidence obtained during the audit, we have reassessed the Companys assessment of going concern. The audit evidence supports managements use of the going concern basis of accounting in the financial statements, and therefore, we find it appropriate. The financial statements reflect a reasonable and fair assessment in line with the available documentation.

7. The Company had made aggregate provision of Rs. 3,953.81 lakhs for doubtful debtors (expected credit loss) as of March 31,2026 relating to export sales. The Management has not approached RBI & FEMA for approval of writing off the said amount from books of accounts. In the absence of any information regarding penal consequences, we are unable to comment on the impact of the same on the profit or loss / net worth of the Company.

8. During FY 22-23, there was a casual vacancy for Chief Financial Officer w.e.f. 1st December 2022. The Company is in process of appointing new Chief Financial Officer but couldnt appoint the same within the prescribed time limits of six months from the date of resignation and we are unable to comment on the impact of the penal consequences on the profit or loss / net worth of the Company.

9. We draw attention to the financial statements, which disclose that VXL Instruments Limited (CIRP commencement date: 26.11.2024) and VXL Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (CIRP commencement date: 26.02.2025), both related parties, have initiated the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. This development may potentially affect the Companys financial position and its future transactions with these entities.

10. The Company has recognized and provided notional interest aggregating to 357.05 lakhs during the year ended March 31,2026, on accounts classified as Non-Performing Assets (NPA). The cumulative outstanding interest payable on such accounts amounts to 2,763.82 lakhs as of 31st March 2026.

However, the Company has not provided relevant bank statements pertaining to these NPA accounts, nor has it obtained confirmations from the respective banks regarding the applicable rate of interest, including penal interest, and the computation thereof.

In the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to determine the accuracy and completeness of the interest provision recognized during the year as well as the correctness of the outstanding interest liability as of March 31, 2026.

Given the materiality and pervasive nature of the matter described above, the financial statements may be materially misstated in respect of finance costs and borrowings.

Emphasis of Matter para

a) We draw attention to Note No.10 mentioned above to the basis of opinion, wherein the Company has recognized interest expense amounting to 357.05 lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2026, on borrowings classified as NonPerforming Assets (NPA). The total outstanding interest payable on such borrowings amounts to 2,763.82 lakhs as of March 31, 2026.

The Company has accounted for such interest based on its internal estimates, in the absence of bank statements and balance confirmations from the respective lenders, including details relating to the applicable rate of interest and penal charges.

b) As of March 31, 2026, the Company has Advance tax refund receivable amounting to Rs. 47.58 Lakhs pertaining to ten assessment years. As per Income tax records the same has been refunded to the company. In the absence of Bank statements in respect of NPA accounts, the Company is unable to record the amount of refunds received. Therefore, we are unable to comment upon the closing balances of advance taxes and loans appearing in the books of accounts.

c) Due to unavailability of funds, the Company is unable to pay gratuity (statutory liability) amounting to Rs.66.25 Lakhs to the employees which is outstanding as of 31st March 2026.

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

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters

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 period. 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. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Other Information

The Companys Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companys annual report but does not include the Financial Statements and our auditors report thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 on in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Companys board of directors are 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 and changes in equity 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 standalone financial statement 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 and the Board of Directors are 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements 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 guaranteed 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users based on 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 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 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 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 the 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 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.

"ANNEXURE B" TO THE AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PRIYA LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2026.

(Referred to in point no. 2(f) of our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 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 PRIYA LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2026, in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys 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 essentials components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Control 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 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 financials information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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 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 auditors 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 Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting:

A companys 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 companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

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

ii. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the 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

iii. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitation 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.
