Report on the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of D B Realty Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “standalone Ind AS financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid standalone Ind AS 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) prescribed under section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2023, its profit for the year, other comprehensive income (loss) , changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. As stated in Note 43.2D(xiv) to the standalone Ind AS financial statement - measurement of financial guarantees at fair value under ‘Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 109 - Financial Instruments' is not done:

a. During the year, one of the lenders has invoked the corporate guarantee given by the company on behalf of a related party (principal borrower). As per the communication the total demand is Rs 76,038.97 lacs, which has been contested by the company vide its response to the said communication. As explained to us, the lender had confirmed / acknowledged the amount of Rs 23,636 lacs vide its letter dated March 8, 2021. The company, in its response to the invocation of the corporate guarantee, has made an offer to pay Rs 25,400 lacs as a part of its obligation as a guarantor, further we are informed that the said amount would also be reimbursed to the Company by such related party.

The management based on the market value of the various other primary securities, corporate guarantee and undertaking by the holding company of the related party entity (for whom guarantee was provided) is confident of recovering the amount payable (if any) to the lenders from the said related party and its holding company and accordingly is of the view that provision is not required to be made.

b. Financial guarantees and securities given by the Company on behalf of certain entities (referred as principal borrowers) who have defaulted in their principal payment obligations to the lenders aggregating to Rs 24,547.62 lacs (excluding interest, penal interest and other charges). The loans taken by these entities have also been secured by charge on the underlying assets of the said entities and assets of other related parties. Valuation report of such primary / underlying assets provided as securities by the borrowing companies has not been obtained from an independent valuer. In view of the management, value of such primary / underlying assets provided as securities is greater than the outstanding loans and hence additional liability will not devolve on the Company. In the above amounts, interest and other charges are not included as the same cannot be quantified as the respective borrower/s had disputed the same and also since settlement proposal is in discussion by the respective borrowers with their lenders.

Further, out of Rs. 24,547.62 lacs above, during the year, one of the subsidiary companies (i.e. principal borrower), has entered into one-time settlement with lender equivalent to loans of Rs. 17,736.15 lakhs. The principal borrower has requested the lender for extension of time for the installment due on 31st March 2023, which has been in principle agreed by the lender subject to execution of necessary addendum to settlement agreement, which is in the process of being executed.

c. Further, financial guarantees and securities given by the Company on behalf of certain entities (related parties) who have defaulted in their principal payment obligations to the lenders aggregating to Rs. 35,240.50 lacs (excluding interest, penal interest and other charges). The loans taken by these entities have also been secured by charge on the underlying assets of the said entities and assets of other related parties. As per valuation reports obtained from independent valuer, the value of primary / underlying assets provided as securities by the borrowing companies is greater than the outstanding loans and hence in view of the management no additional liability is expected to devolve on the Company. In the above amounts, interest and other charges are not included as the same cannot be quantified as the respective borrower/s had disputed the same and also since settlement proposal is in discussion by the respective borrowers with their lenders.

Further, out of Rs. 35,240.50 lacs above, subsequent to the year end, one of the entities (i.e. principal borrower), has entered into a one-time settlement with lender equivalent to loans of Rs. 32,000 lakhs. Post completion of the settlement obligations by the said principal borrower, the company's guarantee obligation / securities would cease to exist.

With reference to above, during the year, Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued administrative warning (i.e. impugned order) to the Independent Directors with respect to accounting and disclosure of financial guarantees based on the investigation carried out by SEBI. This order was specifically with respect to matters covered in note 43.2D(xiv)(a) of the standalone Ind AS financial statement and it also extends to other guarantees as well. The said order quantifies the expected credit loss / additional provision with respect to financial guarantees as mentioned in note 43.2D(xiv)(a) of standalone Ind AS financial statements of Rs. 59,130.18 lakhs to be made by the company in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments till 31st March 2021. The company has disputed the said order and in its opinion, no

provision is required to be made based on underlying assets of the various entities and ongoing discussion for settlement of the loans by the respective entities with their lenders. The Company has filed an appeal and application seeking stay against the said impugned order before the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) seeking reliefs including (a) Setting aside the said impugned order and (b) To pass an order stating the effect, implementation and operations of the impugned order. During the year, the said appeal was heard and SAT has passed order against the Company. The Company is exploring further legal remedies and intends to file an appeal against the said order.

Further, during the year, the Company has filed settlement application with SEBI in relation to the above matters where the Company has offered monetary and non-monetary settlement terms.

Furthermore, during the year, the SEBI has issued a show cause notice to the Company and its directors for non-compliance of various provisions related to Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 and non-compliance of accounting standard / Indian accounting standards related to guarantee and securities given by the Company to various entities. The Company has duly replied to the said show cause notice.

Considering the above, management view and ongoing dispute (already covered in basis of qualified opinion in para 1(a) above), the potential impact of the non-measurement of financial guarantee as required by ‘Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments‘ on the profit (excluding other comprehensive income) for the year ended March 31, 2023, and consequently on the total equity as on March 31, 2023, cannot be ascertained.

2. As stated in Note 48 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements and considering the non-evaluation of impairment provision in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments and Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets, towards expected credit losses in respect of the loans and advances / deposits totaling to Rs. 1,63,711.06 lacs (disclosed under current financial asset considering repayable on demand) and towards diminution in the value on the Company's investments totaling to Rs. 42,984.38 lacs, respectively, as on March 31,2023, that were invested in / advanced to certain subsidiaries and other parties which have incurred significant losses and / or have negative net worth as at March 31, 2023 and / or have pending legal disputes with respect to the underlying projects / properties of respective entities, we are unable to comment on the impact of non-provision of impairment (if any) on the profit (excluding other comprehensive income) and classification of the loans and advance under current financial asset for the year ended March 31,2023 and consequently on the total equity as on March 31,2023.

3. Attention is invited to Note 25.5 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, which mentions that consequent to the ongoing negotiations as regards one-time settlement, the Company has not provided for interest on loan from financial institutions (excluding penal interest, if any) amounting to Rs. 3,270.21. lacs pertaining to year ended March 31,2023 [cumulative unprovided interest of Rs 4,914.39 lacs till March 31, 2023] (these amounts exclude interest related to one-of the lender with whom settlement has been agreed upon during the year). Had this provision for interest on loan been made, profit (excluding other comprehensive income) for the year end would have been lower by the said amount and the balance in other equity would have been lower by cumulative unprovided interest of Rs. 4,914.39 lacs till March 31,2023. The above non provision of interest results in non-compliance with accounting treatment as prescribed by Ind AS 23 Borrowing Cost.

The cumulative impact of the above qualifications cannot be quantified since the cumulative and net impact of the above qualifications is not assessed by the management. Further on account of the above qualifications, the unreserved statement on compliance with Ind AS is also impacted to that extent.

Qualifications listed in para 1(a), 1(b), 2 and 3 have been reported by us in the audit report dated 30^th May 2022 for the year ended March 31, 2022.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

The Company has various debt obligations (excluding corporate guarantee) aggregating to Rs. 99,389.12 lacs within the next 12 months. These obligations are higher than the current assets which are liquid in nature. This could result in significant uncertainty on its ability to meet these debt obligations and continue as going concern. The management is addressing this issue robustly, the Company has entered / negotiating one-time settlement with various lenders, raised funds through issued convertible warrants, entered in development agreement / joint ventures to revive various projects which have significantly high growth potential. The management is confident that they will be able to manage the liquidity position by restructuring the existing terms of borrowings, monetization of non-core assets and mobilization of additional funds. Accordingly, the unaudited standalone financial results are prepared on a going concern basis (Refer Note 53 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements).

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter. Attention was also drawn by us in our audit report dated 30^th May 2022 of previous financial year in respect of above matter.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following matters in the notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements:

1. As stated in note 55 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements with respect to security deposits aggregating to Rs 2,257.95 lacs, investments and loans & advances in certain subsidiary companies / entities aggregating to Rs 1,94,262.07 lacs and inventory of construction work in progress of Rs 34,098.04 lacs, we have relied upon management estimates and explanations as regards, various approvals obtained

/ pending, stage of completion, projections of expected cost and revenue, realization of construction work in progress and market value of the underlying developments rights. These estimates are dynamic in nature and are dependent upon various factors such as eligibility of the tenants, changes in the saleable area, acquisition of new Floor Space Index (FSI) and other factors. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the financial results of the company for the year ended March 31,2023, and future periods, however quantification of the impact due to change in said estimates is not practical. Being a technical matter, these management estimates have been relied upon by us.

2. As stated in note 25.6 and 25.7 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, during the year, the Company has entered into one-time settlement with one of the financial institutions subject to the compliance with the payment terms. As per the said settlement the Company is required to pay Rs. 18,560 lacs (plus interest as per agreed rate) upto 31st January 2025 as per repayment schedule specified therein. Additionally, the write-back / difference (if any) between the original loan amount plus accrued interest upto the date of settlement and the revised amount payable would be accounted in the period in which the condition of settlement arrangement are met. The Company has requested for extension of time for the installment due on 31st March 2023 from the lender which has been in principle agreed by the lender subject to execution of necessary addendum settlement agreement which is in the process of being executed.

3. The Company has recognized net deferred tax assets on changes in fair value of financial instruments aggregating to Rs 9,214.48 lacs in the earlier years. In the opinion of the management, there is a reasonable certainty as regards utilization/reversal (consequent to potential increase in fair value in future) of the said deferred tax assets. As regards the same also refer Note 10.1 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

4. With respect to various legal matters our comments are as under:

a. As regards certain allegations made by the Enforcement Directorate against the Company and its two Key Managerial Persons, in a matter relating to Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, this matter is sub-judice and the impact, if any, of the outcome is unascertainable at this stage (refer Note 49 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements).

b. As regards attachment order issued by adjudicating authority under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, by which the Company's assets aggregating to Rs. 711.48 lacs have been attached on August 30, 2011. Consequently, the adjudicating authority has taken over the bank balance of Rs. 68.93 lacs, two flats having written down value of Rs. 85.72 lacs as on March 31,2023 and Investment in Redeemable Optionally Convertible Cumulative Preference Shares - Series A and Series C made by the Company aggregating to Rs. 556.83 lacs in earlier years. The impact, if any, of its outcome is currently unascertainable (refer Note 51 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements).

c. As stated in note 47A to standalone Ind AS financial statements, following are the Emphasis of Matters in their financial statements for the year ended March 31,2023, of the partnership firms (where Company is a partner), which have not been audited by us:

i. As regards the recoverability of Trade Receivables of Rs. 4,930.33 lacs as on March 31, 2023 which are attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and non-provision for expected credit loss based on the management assessment as regards the outcome of the said matter.

ii. Allegations made by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) relating to the 2G spectrum case and regarding attachment order issued by adjudicating authority under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and the undertaking given by the Company that it will bear the loss if there is any non / short realization of the attached asset.

These matters are sub-judice and the impact, if any, of its outcome is currently unascertainable.

d. In addition to the above, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings in normal course of business (including cases pending before the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016) and does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have any adverse effect on its financial conditions, results of the operations or cash flow. We have relied upon the representation from the in-house legal team as regards the same (refer Note 46.2 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements).

e. As stated in note 58.9 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, during the previous year, Income tax authority carried out search operation at premises of the Company, firms in which Company is partner and KMP's and during the earlier year, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has carried out searches on the premises of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries and KMP of the Company. Certain documents [including back-up of accounting software] were taken by the department and CBI. In view of ongoing proceedings, the company is not in a position to ascertain the possible liability, if any.

In respect of matter covered in above para 1,3 and 4 attention were drawn by us in the audit report of the previous financial year.

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the current year.

Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's report including annexure to board report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's information, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements, consolidated Ind AS financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have concluded that material misstatement with respect to matters described in the basis of qualified opinion section of our report also exist in the other information.

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

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's 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 Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor's 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 this standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 management's 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone Ind AS 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 auditor's 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone Ind AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (I) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

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 Ind AS financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.

Other Matters

a. We draw attention to Note 47 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, regarding share of (loss) (net) from investment in three partnership firms, three limited liability partnerships and four association of person aggregating to Rs.

These financial statements have been audited by their respective independent auditors of these entities, whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our audit report on the Statement is based solely on such audit reports of the other auditors.

b. During the year, the Board has approved the proposal for amalgamation of Platinumcorp Affordable Builders Private Limited (“Transferor Company”) with one of its subsidiaries, Royal Netra Constructions Private Limited (“Transferee Company”) and their respective shareholders under the scheme of amalgamation.
