Mar 31, 2026

We have audited the standalone financial statements of
Travel Food Services Limited (formerly known as Travel Food
Services Private Limited)
(the "Company") which comprise
the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the
standalone statement of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in
equity and the standalone statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including material accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as "Standalone
Financial Statements")

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 ("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 31 March 2026, and its profit and other
comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

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 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
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 opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter

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.

Other Information

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the annual report, but
does not include the financial statements and auditor''s report
thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to
us after the date of this auditor''s 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
and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.

Management''s and Board of Directors''
Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial
Statements

The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
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 state of affairs,
profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows 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. 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 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
Management and Board of Directors are 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 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
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.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements (continued)

• 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 the Management and
Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of standalone financial
statements 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 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
of the current period 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.
