We have audited the standalone financial statements of
Westlife Foodworld Limited (formerly known as “Westlife
Development Limited”) (“the Company”), which comprise
the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2025, 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 31,2025, 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 Standards on Auditing
(SAs), as 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 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 judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements for the
financial year ended March 31, 2025. 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 capitalisation 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 capitalisation 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 judgements 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 judgement 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 a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor's report to the related
disclosures in the 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, 2025
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.
