INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF QUESS CORP LIMITED

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Unaudited Financial Results of QUESS CORP LIMITED (“the Parent”) and its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”), and its share of the net profit after tax and total comprehensive income of its associates and joint venture company for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (“the Statement”) being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.

  2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent’s Management and approved by the Parent’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

  3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” , issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of Parent’s personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

  1. The Statement includes the results of the entities as given in Annexure 1 to this report.

  2. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and based on the consideration of the review reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph 7 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

6. Emphasis of Matter paragraph

==> picture [74 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • i. We draw attention to Note 7 of the Statement, regarding the demands received by the Company in respect of Provident Fund and the contingency related to the pending litigation on the said matter.

Regd. Office: Indiabulls Finance Centre, Tower 3, 27' - 32"' Floor, Senapati Bapat Marg, Elphinstone Road (West), Mumbai - 400 013, Maharashtra, India (LLP Identification No. AAB-8737)

Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP

  • ii. We draw attention to Note 14 of the Statement, which describes the effects of the continuing uncertainty arising from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of these matters.

  1. We did not review the interim financial information / financial results of 16 subsidiaries included in the consolidated unaudited financial results, whose interim financial information / financial results reflect total revenues of Rs. 6,727.10 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, total net profit after tax of Rs. 674.32 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and total comprehensive income of Rs 679.26 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as considered in the Statement. These interim financial information / financial results have been reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our conclusion on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.

Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of these matter.

  1. The consolidated unaudited financial results includes the interim financial information/ financial results of 16 subsidiaries which have not been reviewed by their auditors, whose interim financial information/ financial results reflect total revenue of Rs. 1,072.14 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, total profit after tax of Rs. 38.66 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and Total comprehensive income of Rs. 45.08 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as considered in the Statement. The consolidated unaudited financial results also includes the Group’s share of profit after tax of Rs. 0.19 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and total comprehensive income of Rs. 0.19 millions for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as considered in the Statement, in respect of 4 associates and 1 joint venture company, based on their interim financial information/ financial results which have not been reviewed by their auditors. According to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, these interim financial information / financial results are not material to the Group.

Our Conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of our reliance on the interim financial information / results certified by the Management.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM STANDALONE FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF QUESS CORP LIMITED

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of QUESS CORP LIMITED (“the Company”), for the quarter ended 30 June 2021 (“the Statement”), being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.

  2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company’s Management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

  3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company’s personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

  4. Based on our review conducted as stated in paragraph 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

  5. Emphasis of Matter Paragraphs

  6. i. We draw attention to Note 9 of the statement, regarding the demands received by the company in respect of provident fund and contingency related to pending litigation on the said matter.
