Regulatory and Legal Proceedings (Auditor's Qualification)

The Statutory Auditors issued a qualified review report on both the standalone and consolidated financial results, highlighting two key ongoing matters:

1. SEBI Matter (Note 8):

  • SEBI issued an interim order cum show cause notice on March 31, 2023, alleging incorrect accounting of 'loss of control' over KSDPL (erstwhile subsidiary) and its treatment as an associate in FY22.
  • SEBI's final order, dated October 11, 2024, directed the company to:
  • File a public disclosure with stock exchanges.
  • Disclose financial statements for FY22, FY23, and FY24.
  • File a report on the impact if KSDPL were considered a subsidiary.
  • Pay monetary penalties of ₹5 lakhs and ₹1 lakh each under Sections 15HA and 15HB of the SEBI Act.
  • The company appealed to the SAT, which on November 5, 2024, stayed the directions related to financial disclosure (points b and c) and stayed the monetary penalties conditional on depositing 50% of the amount, which was done.
  • The next hearing for this appeal is scheduled for August 13, 2026.
  • Management maintains its view that the 'loss of control' assessment and classification of KSDPL as an associate was appropriate under Ind AS 110. Consequently, no adjustments have been made in the financial results.

2. NCLT Matter (Note 9):

  • Shareholders of KSDPL (the 'Tambi Group'), holding 50% voting power, filed a petition with the NCLT on February 22, 2024, under Sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, 2013, alleging oppression and mismanagement.
  • The petition raised issues including related party transactions, change in KSDPL's status from subsidiary to associate, and conduct of directors.
  • The NCLT has directed parties to comply with the Companies Act, and the matter remains pending. The next hearing is scheduled for August 20, 2026.
  • In its response to the NCLT, the company stated that provisions applicable to a 'deemed public company' do not apply to KSDPL.
  • Due to the ongoing litigation and an inconsistent legal assessment regarding KSDPL's status, the auditors are unable to comment on the legal compliance by KSDPL and its consequential impact on the financial statements.

Sale of Subsidiary

  • The Board, in its meeting on January 28, 2026, approved the sale of its 100% stake in the subsidiary Multi Hotels Limited (Tanzania).
  • An agreement was entered into on January 29, 2026. The company is completing formalities to conclude the sale.
  • Consequently, the company reversed an impairment provision of ₹397.83 lakhs (standalone) / ₹217.26 lakhs (consolidated) recorded earlier for this investment.
  • The investment has been classified as an 'asset held for sale' under Ind AS 105.

Financial Impact

  • The financial impact of the ongoing SEBI and NCLT matters is not quantified in the disclosure, as the outcomes are pending and the management believes no adjustment is currently required.
  • The proposed dividend, if approved, will have a confirmed cash outflow of ₹685.63 lakhs.
  • The sale of Multi Hotels Limited resulted in a non-recurring gain from the reversal of impairment, which was recognized in the previous financial year (FY26).

Capital Structure Impact

  • The dividend payout will reduce the company's cash reserves but will not impact the share capital.
  • The ongoing matters do not directly impact the current share capital structure.
