T o the Members of Victoria Enterprises Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Victoria Enterprises Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, 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 prescribed 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, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, its profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As disclosed in Note 14 to the standalone financial statements, the Company has outstanding 5% Non-Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares having a carrying amount of Rs. 1,000.00 lakh and the redemption amount is due. Management is in the process of negotiating with the investor(s) to restructure / extend the redemption terms; however, the accompanying standalone financial statements classify this obligation as a non-current financial liability. In the absence of an arrangement in force as at March 31, 2026 that gives the Company the right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the liability is required to be classified as current in accordance with Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. Consequently, non-current financial liabilities are overstated and current financial liabilities are understated by Rs. 1,000.00 lakh as at March 31, 2026. The matter does not affect total liabilities, total equity or the profit for the year.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Retrospective Restatement of Comparative Information
We draw attention to Note 68 to the standalone financial statements, which describes the retrospective restatement of the comparative financial information for the year ended March 31, 2025 on account of expenses aggregating to Rs. 967.36 lakh relating to FY 2024-25 that had not been recognised in that period. As disclosed in the said note, the comparative profit before tax has been restated from approximately Rs. 1,596.45 lakh to Rs. 629.09 lakh and profit after tax from approximately Rs. 1,204.43 lakh to Rs. 237.08 lakh. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 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. In addition to the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| Valuation of real estate inventories and assessment of net realisable value | Our audit procedures, among others, included: |
| As at March 31, 2026, inventories amount to Rs. 7,047.72 lakh and constitute a substantial portion of the Companys total assets. The inventories primarily comprise work-in- progress and finished units relating to real estate projects. As explained in Notes 58 and 59, determination of net realisable value involves significant management judgement regarding estimated selling prices, costs to complete, project timelines and future market conditions. | (i) understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of relevant controls over project costing and inventory valuation; |
| Accordingly, valuation of inventories was considered a key audit matter. | (ii) testing, on a sample basis, costs capitalised to projects with underlying supporting documents; |
| (iii) evaluating managements methodology and assumptions used in assessing net realisable value, including estimated selling prices and costs to complete; | |
| (iv) comparing relevant assumptions with available sales data, project budgets and other corroborative evidence; and | |
| (v) assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements. | |
| Revenue recognition from real estate projects | Our audit procedures, among others, included: |
| The Company recognised revenue from operations of Rs. 5,364.70 lakh for the year ended March 31, 2026. As described in Note 64, revenue from sale of real estate units is | i) evaluating the Companys accounting policy for revenue recognition for compliance with Ind AS 115; |
| recognised at a point in time upon transfer of control in accordance with Ind AS 115. Determination of the point at which control transfers requires evaluation of contractual terms and completion / handover documentation and is susceptible to cut-off risk. Accordingly, revenue recognition was considered a key audit matter. | (ii) understanding and testing relevant controls over recording of sales and transfer of control; |
| (iii) testing a sample of revenue transactions with agreements, registration / possession / handover documentation and other evidence of transfer of control; | |
| (iv) performing cut-off procedures around the year end; | |
| (v) reconciling selected customer receipts and receivable balances; and | |
| (vi) evaluating the adequacy of disclosures relating to revenue recognition. |
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companys Annual Report, including the Boards Report and its annexures and other statutory reports, 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 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, subject to the matters described elsewhere in this report.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed 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 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, 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.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors 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 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 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 standalone 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 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.
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 planning the scope of our audit work, evaluating the results of our work and evaluating the standalone financial statements as a whole.
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 communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
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.

Referred to in paragraph 2(i) under the Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements section of our report to the Members of Victoria Enterprises Limited of even date on the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Victoria Enterprises Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2026 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone 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 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 (the Guidance Note). 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 the Companys policies, safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of frauds and errors, accuracy and completeness of accounting records, and timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
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 and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, 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 standalone financial statements were established and maintained and whether 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 included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, 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 standalone 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 with reference to standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements
A companys internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone 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 standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that such controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
