Independent Auditor’s Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Standalone Financial Results of the
Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended
The Board of Directors of Asian Hotels (East) Limited
Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year to date standalone financial results of Asian
Hotels (East) Limited (the “Company”) for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026 (“Statement”), attached
herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (‘Listing Regulation”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the
possible effects to the matter described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion” section of our report, the Statement:
(i) is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
(i) gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other
financial information of the Company for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As disclosed in note 3 to the statement, an order dated November 02, 2024 (the “Order”) was issued by the
Government of Odisha through the General Administration and Public Grievance Department, citing non-
compliance by GJS Hotels Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary (the “subsidiary") with certain terms and conditions
of the lease deed. Pursuant to this Order, the subsidiary was directed to vacate the property located in Odisha
and the performance bank guarantee of Rs.350 lakhs, furnished by the Company, was forfeited. The subsidiary
has filed a writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa challenging the said Order. As at March 31, 2026,
the Company holds investments in the said subsidiary amounting to Rs. 860.86 lakhs in the form of equity shares
and Rs. 483.39 lakhs as loans, which also includes the amount pertaining to the encashment of the bank
guarantee.
The events and circumstances as described above, including the surrender of the property to the government,
forfeiture of the bank guarantee, and the financial position of the subsidiary, raise significant doubt regarding the
recoverability of the Company's investment in the subsidiary. However, no provision for impairment has been
recognized in respect of these exposures in the financial statements, which, in our opinion, is not in accordance
with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 36 — Impairment of Assets.
Had the aforesaid impairment of assets been recognised, the total expenses for quarter and year ended March
31, 2026 would have been higher by Rs. 1344.25 lakhs and Rs. 1344.25 lakhs respectively, resulting in a
reduction in the reported net profit after tax to Rs. (-) 579.48 lakhs from the reported Rs. 764.77 lakhs and Rs.
1424.64 lakhs from the reported Rs. 2768.89 lakhs respectively. Consequently, the total comprehensive income
for quarter and year ended March 31, 2026 would have been Rs. (-) 581.81 lakhs instead of the reported Rs.
762.44 lakhs and Rs. 1428.65 lakhs instead of the reported Rs. 2772.90 lakhs respectively, and the earnings per
share would have been Rs. (-) 3.35 as against the reported Rs. 4.42 and Rs. 8.24 as against the reported Rs.
16.01 respectively. Further, other equity would have been reduced by Rs. 1344.25 lakhs as on March 31, 2026.

accrued interest) to its wholly owned subsidiary, Novak Hotels Private Limited ("Novak"), aggregating Rs.
24928.50 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. Recoverability of these amounts is substantially dependent upon Novak's
successful acquisition of Hyatt Regency Mumbai ("HRM") under the Framework Agreement dated August 11,
2023, as amended.
As described in the note, completion of the acquisition is subject to the resolution of certain matters, including a
competing claim asserted in respect of the Buy Option, the execution and registration of the related loan and
