To the Members of Sunteck Realty Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Sunteck Realty Limited (the Company), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2025, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Cash Flow and the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors as referred to in paragraph 18 below, 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) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2025, and its profit (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of 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 ethical 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 fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained together with the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors, in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 18 of the Other Matters section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matters

4. We draw attention to Note 57 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes the uncertainties relating to recoverability of 1,402.73 lakhs as at 31st March, 2025, from a partnership firm (firm), included in other non-current financial assets, in which the Company was associated as a partner till 6th October, 2020. On account of certain disputes with the other partner of the firm, the Company had initiated arbitration proceedings against the other partner which was decided in favour of the Company on 4th May, 2018 but has been challenged by the other partner before the Honble Bombay High Court. Further, as described in the said Note, the financial statements of the firm are not available with the Company and therefore, the Companys share of profit/(loss) for the period from 1st April, 2015 till 6th October, 2020 has not been accounted by the management for preparation of the accompanying standalone financial statements, however the management is of the view that the impact of such share of profit/(loss) would not be material to the accompanying standalone financial statements since there were no operations in the firm during the aforesaid period. Basis the favourable arbitration award and the legal opinion obtained, the management believes that the aforesaid balances are fully recoverable and hence, no provision for impairment is required to be recognised in respect of such balances as at 31st March, 2025.

5. We draw attention to Note 61 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes that pursuant to the schemes of amalgamation a) between Starlight Systems (I) Private Limited (SSIPL) (previously known as Starlight Systems (I) LLP) with the Company and b) between Satguru Infocorp Services Private Limited (SISPL) and Starlight Systems Private Limited (SSPL) with the Company (SSIPL, SISPL and SSPL, together hereinafter referred to as "Transferor Companies”), as approved by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) vide its order dated 29th July, 2024 and 27th February, 2025 respectively, the aforementioned Transferor

Companies have been transferred to and merged with the Company and accounted for in accordance with the accounting treatment prescribed under respective approved schemes of amalgamation. Accordingly, the comparative financial information has been restated in the accompanying standalone financial statements to reflect the aforesaid amalgamations, as described in the said note.

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

Key Audit Matters

6. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors as referred to in paragraph 18 below, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

7. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

(i) Revenue recognition for real estate development contracts

Refer Notes 2(b)(i), (ii), 29 and 47 to the standalone financial statements for material accounting policy information and related disclosures.

Our audit procedures on revenue recognised from real estate development contracts included, but were not limited to the following:

As per the principles of Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Ind AS 115), revenue from sale of residential/ commercial properties is recognized when the performance obligations are essentially complete and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company.

• Evaluated the appropriateness of the Companys accounting policy on revenue recognition from real estate development contracts in accordance with Ind AS 115;

• Obtained an understanding of revenue recognition process and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls over the recognition of revenue and determination of fair value of estimated construction service under JDAs, completeness and accuracy of cost and revenue reports generated from the system;

Revenue from real-estate contracts for certain projects is recognised over a period of time on the basis of stage of completion of the contracts (using percentage of completion method), if the necessary conditions/obligations as mentioned in the Ind AS 115 are satisfied, in all other cases, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the control over the property has been transferred (i.e upon possession/ deemed possession) to the buyer.

• Inspected, on a sample basis, the underlying customer contracts, handover documents, possession / deemed possession letters to understand the contractual terms whereby ownership rights and control will be transferred to the unitholders and assessed appropriateness of managements evaluation of determining revenue recognition from sale of real estate property at a point in time or over the period of time in accordance with the requirements under Ind AS 115;

Significant level of judgement is required in identifying contract obligations and whether these obligations are satisfied over a period of time or at the point in time. Further, for determining revenue using percentage of completion method (input method), budgeted project cost is a critical estimate, which is subject to inherent uncertainty as it requires ascertainment of progress of the project, cost incurred till date and balance cost to be incurred to complete the project.

• Reviewed the managements budgeting system and process of calculating the cost to be incurred for completing the remaining performance obligations, which has been reviewed periodically and approved by appropriate levels of management;

For revenue contracts forming part of joint development arrangements (JDA) that are not jointly controlled operations, the revenue from the development and transfer of constructed area with corresponding land/ development rights received by the Company is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered by the Company to the landowner

• On a sample basis, tested cost incurred and accrued to date by examining underlying invoices and other supporting documents;

 

under JDA. Such revenue is recognised over a period of time in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115.

• Obtained the signed budgets for the current year from the management and compared with the signed budgets of the previous year to identify the significant variations and verify whether those variations have been considered in estimating the remaining costs to complete the project;

Considering the significance of management judgement and estimates involved as mentioned above, and the materiality of amounts involved, revenue recognition was identified as a key audit matter for the current year audit.

• Verified the collection from customers for the units sold from the statement of accounts on a sample basis to ensure receipt of substantial sales consideration;

• Tested unusual non-standard journal entries impacting revenue recorded during the year based on certain risk-based criteria;

• For projects executed during the year in accordance with JDAs, we have performed the following additional procedures on a sample basis:

o Obtained and examined the computation of the fair value of the construction service under JDA with reference to project cost estimates and mark up considered by the management;

o Obtained the JDA entered into by the Company and compared the ratio of constructed area share arrangement between the Company and the landowner as mentioned in the agreement to the computation sheet prepared by the management; and

o Tested the computation for recognition of revenue over a period of time for revenue contracts forming part of JDA and managements assessment of stage of completion of projects and project cost estimates.

• Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of disclosures included in standalone financial statements, in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

(ii) Assessing the recoverability of carrying value of Inventories

Refer Notes 2(f) and 11 to the standalone financial statements for material accounting policy information and related disclosures.

Our audit procedures in assessing the recoverability of carrying value of inventories included, but were not limited to, the following:

As at 31st March, 2025, inventory of the Company comprise of finished properties of 56,017.77 lakhs, land and development rights of 1,680.12 lakhs and construction work in progress of 28,114.61 lakhs of ongoing projects. Inventory is valued at cost and net realisable value (NRV), whichever is less.

• Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies with respect to inventories in terms of principles enunciated under applicable accounting standards;

• Obtained an understanding of the management process for identification of possible impairment indicators and process performed by the management for impairment testing and determination of NRV;

NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale and estimated costs of completion (in case of construction work-in- progress). The inventory of finished properties, land and development rights and construction work-in- progress is not written down below cost when completed flats/ under-construction flats /properties are expected to be sold at or above cost.

• Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls for inventory valuation including review of estimates involved for the expected cost of completion of projects including construction cost incurred, construction budgets and NRV;

The cost includes direct and indirect expenditure relating or incidental to construction activity. Various estimates such as prevailing market conditions, current prices, stage of completion of the projects, future selling price, selling costs and cost to complete projects are necessary to derive NRV.

• Understood and reviewed key assumptions used by the management in determination of the NRV;

• For land and development rights, obtained an understanding of the cash flows forecast prepared by the management and tested the assumptions such as expected launch of the project, project development plan and expected future sales less selling costs considering current market conditions;

Considering the materiality of amounts and the significance of management judgement and estimates involved as mentioned above, assessment towards recoverability of carrying value of inventories was identified as a key audit matter for the current year audit.

• Compared the estimated construction costs to complete each project with the Companys updated budgets. Re-computing the NRV, on a sample basis, to test inventory units are held at the lower of cost and NRV; and
• Assessed the appropriateness and adequacy of the disclosures made by the management for the impairment losses recognized in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

9. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The Companys Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the 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 of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

10. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

12. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.

13. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 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 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 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 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; and

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the business activities and financial statements of the Company which includes financial information of limited liability partnership (LLPs), to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial statements of the Company of which we are the independent auditor. For the other LLPs included in the standalone financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financials statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance note on Audit Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the Guidance Note) 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 the Companys business, including adherence to the 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.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. 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.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to 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.

5. 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 with reference to standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements

6. A companys internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 controls with reference to financial statements include 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 companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements

7. 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 controls 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.

Opinion
