We have audited the standalone financial statements of Westlife Foodworld Limited (“the
Company”), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Statement of
Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow
Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to
the standalone financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies
and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given
to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true
and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, its profit including other
comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on
that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the
Standardson Auditing(SAs), as specifiedundersection143(10) oftheAct.Ourresponsibilities
under those Standards are further described in the 'Auditor's 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 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

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 for the financial year ended
March 31, 2026. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our
audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report,
including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone 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 financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Impairment Assessment in wholly owned subsidiary (as described in Note 1.1(D)(iv) of the
standalone IND AS financial statements)

The Company on a standalone basis does not have
any significant business operations. However, the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Hardcastle
Restaurants Private Limited (“HRPL”) operates the
Mc Donald's chain of quick service restaurants (QSR)
stores in Western and Southern India.

The carrying amount of the Company's Investment
in and amounts due from HRPL represents 96% of
total assets of the Company. The recoverability of
these amounts are not subject to significant risk of
misstatement or significant judgement. However,
due its significance in the context of the Company's
financial statements, this is the area which had
most significance in our audit of the standalone
Ind AS financial statements of the Company and
accordingly, has been considered as a key audit
matter.

As a result, an impairment assessment was
performed by the Company by comparing the
carrying value of these investments to the market
capitalization of the Company to determine whether
an impairment was required to be recognised.

Our audit procedures included, among others

the following:

1. Assessed the appropriateness of
accounting policy for impairment of
investment in subsidiary as per the
relevant Indian Accounting Standards.

2. Evaluated the Company's assessment for
indicators of impairment of investment. In
cases where such indicator exists tested
the estimates, assumptions and valuation
methodology applied in determining the
impairment of investments.

3. The Company is a listed entity with
insignificant business operations on
a standalone basis. The Company has
single wholly owned subsidiary, HRPL.
Accordingly, the Company's market
capitalization was considered on the
basis of fair value of HRPL. The Company's
market capitalisation as on date exceeds
the carrying value of investment in HRPL.

We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report
Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include
the standalone financial statements and our auditor's 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 such 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 in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Management for the Standalone 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 financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) specified 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 the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively
for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and
fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for
assessing the 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 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 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
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 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 material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditor's 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 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 financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements
for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 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.
