The Board of Directors is pleased to present the 30th Board's
Report together with the Audited Financial Statements of GMR
Airports Limited
(formerly GMR Airports Infrastructure Limited)
(“GAL” or “the Company”) for the Financial Year ended March
31, 2026.

GAL is a leading global infrastructure conglomerate with
unparalleled expertise in designing, building, and operating
Airports in India and overseas and airport allied services.

The Company handled around 121.6 Mn passengers during FY
2026. The GMR Group operates the iconic Indira Gandhi
International Airport in Delhi (“IGIA”/ “Delhi International
Airport”), the largest airport in India. The Group also operates
the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad (“Hyderabad
International Airport”/ “RGIA”), a pioneering greenfield airport
known for several technological innovations, and the Manohar
International Airport, Mopa, Goa (“MIA”/ “Goa Airport at Mopa”),
India's first destination airport that offers everything a tourist
looks for, i.e., liveliness in the serene lap of nature, making it a
perfect destination for leisure and holistic tourism.

The Group's greenfield projects made decisive progress during
the year. The Bhogapuram International Airport in Andhra Pradesh
achieved 99.73% physical progress as of June 30, 2026, secured
all key regulatory approvals, and is poised for the commencement
of commercial operations during August 2026. The airport was
formally inaugurated by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India on
August 01, 2026.

GAL also took over the operations, management and
development of the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International
Airport in Nagpur, Maharashtra with effect from June 25, 2026.
Strategically located in Central India, Nagpur serves as a critical
hub for both passenger and cargo traffic, playing a pivotal role
in regional connectivity. The Company is embarking on a plan
for phased development that will enhance the airport's passenger
and cargo handling capacity, positioning it as a key airport. This
transformation is set to not only enhance connectivity within the
Vidarbha region but also strengthen its economic infrastructure.

In terms of overseas footprint, the Company operates Kualanamu
International Airport in Medan, Indonesia, under a strategic
partnership with PT Angkasa Pura, Indonesia. Further, the
Company is developing the new Crete International Airport at
Heraklion, Greece, in partnership with GEK Terna. This counts as
the first instance, where an Indian airport operator won a
concession to build and operate a European airport. The Group
also continues to provide technical services to the Mactan Cebu
International Airport, in Philippines.

While we continue to expand the airport portfolio, we recognise
that airports have evolved far beyond their traditional role as
transit hubs. Today, they function as integrated ecosystems
encompassing mobility, commerce, logistics, and customer
experience. In line with this vision, the Company is building
multiple growth engines that extend well beyond the runway,

transforming its airports into gateways for sustainable value
creation. Against this backdrop, the Company achieved several
significant milestones during the year in strengthening and
scaling its non-aeronautical adjacency businesses.

Performance Highlights- FY 2025-26

Performance Highlights of the Company on a consolidated basis
for the FY 2025-26:

Passenger Traffic at Delhi International Airport during FY 2025¬
26 remained broadly stable at 78.7 Mn, demonstrating resilience
amid the scheduled runway upgradation and temporary airspace-
related disruptions. Passenger Traffic at Hyderabad International
Airport increased by 3.4% YoY to its highest ever at 30.48 Mn.
Passenger Traffic at the Goa Airport at Mopa increased by
approximately 15% YoY to its highest ever at 5.4 Mn.

The Company significantly expanded its non-aero adjacency
businesses during the year. GAL commenced duty free operations
at Delhi International Airport from July 28, 2025, and at Hyderabad
International Airport from September 10, 2025. In March 2026,
GAL was formally awarded the concession to upgrade, modernise,
finance, operate, manage and maintain the Cargo Terminal 1 at
Delhi International Airport after emerging as the selected bidder.

In a major expansion of the cargo vertical, GAL emerged as the
Selected Bidder in August 2025 for the Cargo City at Delhi
International Airport for the development of state-of-the-art
cargo and logistics facilities over 50.5 acres.

After the year end, GMR Nagpur International Airport Limited
(“GNIAL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed
the operational takeover of Nagpur's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar
International Airport ("Nagpur International Airport") with effect
from June 25, 2026, marking the commencement of operations
under the concession agreement signed with MIHAN India
Limited in October 2024.

The Bhogapuram International Airport achieved overall physical
progress of 99.73% as of June 30, 2026, secured all key regulatory
approvals including the Aerodrome Licence, and successfully
completed Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer trials,
positioning the airport for commencement of commercial
operations during August 2026.

Construction of the Crete International Airport, in Greece
progressed to approximately 74% as of June 2026.

Clean Energy and Climate: Delhi and Hyderabad International
Airports continued to operate on 100% renewable/green
electricity, and both airports hold Level 5 ACI's Airport Carbon
Accreditation. MIA has recently achieved Level 3 of this
accreditation.

State of the Affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries

A brief overview of the development of the Company and each
of the major subsidiaries businesses is presented below. Further,
MDA, forming part of this Report, also brings out review of the
business operations of the Company, major subsidiaries and
jointly controlled entities.

Airport Sector

The Company's airport business comprises six operating airports
viz., Delhi International Airport, Hyderabad International Airport,
Goa Airport at Mopa, Nagpur International Airport, Bidar Airport
in Karnataka in India, and Kualanamu International Airport in
Medan, Indonesia. Two assets are under construction viz.,
Bhogapuram International Airport (new Visakhapatnam Airport)
in Andhra Pradesh, India and Crete International Airport in Greece.
GMR continues to serve as the Technical Services Provider to the
Mactan Cebu International Airport in the Philippines until
December 2026.

In addition, GAL continues to pursue opportunities for new
airports as and when they arise, including the next round of
regional airports being privatised by the Government of India,
and will selectively explore international opportunities. The
Company also continues to drive growth through airport-related
adjacencies, including Operations & Maintenance of airport
infrastructure, Duty Free and Cargo.

Indian Aviation Industry

FY 2025-26 was a year of resilient but moderated growth for the
Indian aviation sector. After the strong rebound of the post¬
pandemic years, traffic momentum normalised as the industry
contended with fleet shortages, periodic airspace disruptions,
weather-related interruptions and elevated geopolitical
uncertainties. Domestic passenger traffic stood at approximately
339 Mn passengers, growth of 1.4% YoY. International passenger

2026, had reviewed and updated the Dividend Distribution Policy
of the Company. The Dividend Distribution Policy is disclosed
on the website of the Company at

https://www.amraero.com/investor-relations/corporate-aovernance/policies

traffic remained comparatively resilient at approximately 81 Mn
passengers, growth of 4.2% YoY. Overall passenger traffic across
India reached approximately 420 Mn, growth of ~2% YoY.

The financial performance of Indian airlines remained under
pressure during FY 2025-26. While passenger load factors
remained healthy and yields were relatively supportive, airlines
faced rising cost pressures arising from foreign exchange
depreciation, operational disruptions and crude oil prices rose
sharply following geopolitical tensions in the West Asia towards
the close of the year, resulting a rise in ATF prices, while 35%-
50% of key airline costs remained dollar-linked, keeping margins
exposed to commodity and currency volatility.

Operationally, supply-side constraints persisted throughout the
year. Engine reliability and broader supply-chain issues resulted
in approximately 99 aircraft remaining grounded across selected
airlines as of March 2026, roughly 11 %-13% of the industry fleet,
an improvement from the 20%-22% grounding levels witnessed
in 2023, but continuing to constrain capacity deployment and
elevate wet-lease and maintenance costs. The year also saw the
implementation of stricter Flight Duty Time Limitation regulations
which resulted in disruptions at IndiGo in December 2025.
Following an aircraft accident in June 2025, Air India temporarily
reduced around 15% of its international wide-body capacity as
part of enhanced safety and inspection measures. Towards the
end of the year, escalating tensions in the West Asia resulted in
airspace restrictions, flight cancellations and rerouting of long-
haul international services, adversely impacting international
traffic flows during March 2026 and adding to fuel costs. Despite
these challenges, Indian carriers maintained strong Passenger
Load Factors ("PLFs"), with domestic PLFs reaching approximately
89.5% in March 2026, reflecting the underlying strength of air
travel demand.

While ICRA revised its FY 2026-27 outlook on the Indian Aviation
Industry from Stable to Negative in March 2026 citing rising fuel

prices, depreciation of the Indian Rupee against the USD,
disruptions in international airspace and the resulting pressure
on airline profitability. However, the long-term outlook for the
Indian aviation sector remains positive. The sector continues to
be supported by strong structural drivers, including rising air
travel penetration, robust demand for domestic and international
travel, improving airport infrastructure and enhanced regional
connectivity. According to ICRA, over ' 1 Lakh Crore of investment
is expected in airport infrastructure over the next four to five
years through new greenfield airports, brownfield expansion
projects and Airports Authority of India development
programmes. Indian carriers continue to pursue fleet expansion
and network growth strategies to cater to long-term demand,
while the Government's UDAN regional connectivity scheme
which had operationalised 95 airports, including heliports and
water aerodromes, and 677 routes as of June 30, 2026 continues
to widen the domestic aviation network.

An overview of the operations of the Company's assets during
the year is briefly given below:

Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL)

Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) is a subsidiary of the
Company, with shareholding comprising GMR Airports Limited
(74%) and Airports Authority of India (26%). DIAL develops,
operates and manages the Indira Gandhi International Airport
(IGIA), New Delhi, under a long-term concession framework. With
passenger terminal capacity of about 105 Mn passengers per
annum, two cargo terminals and four operational runways, IGIA
remains India's largest airport and one of the most significant
aviation gateways in Asia.

Highlights of FY 2025-26:

During FY 2025-26, IGIA handled 78.7 Mn passengers and 1.15 Mn
metric tonnes of cargo, underscoring the resilience of the airport's
operating model amid geopolitical volatility, airline-specific
operational issues and temporary traffic disruptions. Thus,
passenger traffic was broadly stable year on year, while cargo
volumes grew 3.5%, enabling IGIA to retain its position as India's
largest cargo handling airport. DIAL also reported a strong
financial turnaround during the year, supported primarily by
implementation of the revised aeronautical tariff for the fourth
control period and continued growth in non-aeronautical
revenues.

IGIA expanded its network to 162 destinations, comprising 87
domestic and 75 international destinations, and served 69 airline
partners during the year.

The airport also strengthened its positioning as a connecting
hub. DIAL secured government approval for the Hub-and-Spoke
initiative, with Delhi identified as the first implementation hub.
In FY 2025-26, the airport handled about 7.5 Mn domestic-to-
international transfer passengers, up from 4.1 Mn in FY 2024-25,
and transfer traffic rose to nearly 25% of overall passenger
volumes against 24% during last year. Dedicated transfer
processes, international-contact gates, transfer areas, DigiYatra-
enabled e-gates and segregated passenger movement corridors
supported this shift toward a more hub-oriented operating
model.

Operational Performance:

Domestic passenger traffic stood at 57.2 Mn, while international
traffic remained broadly stable at 21.6 Mn. Air traffic movements
increased to 487.8 thousand for the year, including 369.1
thousand domestic movements and 118.7 thousand international
movements.

The airport continued to set important operating records despite
muted passenger growth. During the year, IGIA recorded its
highest-ever passenger and aircraft movement activity on peak
days, while highest ATM activity in a single hour reached 96. The
year also demonstrated the resilience of the airport ecosystem
during the transition of cargo operations and the continuing
evolution of the airports hub strategy. Operational efficiency was
further strengthened through a 21% reduction in average aircraft
taxi time, which improved from 3.8 minutes in FY 2024-25 to 3.0
minutes in FY 2025-26, enhancing airside efficiency, reducing fuel
burn and emissions, and supporting regulatory and operational
performance objectives.

From a commercial standpoint, non-aeronautical revenue per
passenger reached the highest level in the airport's history,
growing 10% year-on-year. DIAL further strengthened its
premium and experiential offerings through the introduction of
new lounges, global brand launches, and enhanced food and
beverage concepts. As part of this strategy, Terminal 1 at IGI
Airport welcomed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's first restaurant
in India through an exclusive licensing partnership with Travel
Food Services (TFS). Along with several other premium retail and
hospitality additions, these initiatives are enhancing the overall
passenger experience, reinforcing the strategic importance of
non-aeronautical revenues as a key driver of the airport's long¬
term growth and profitability.

Capacity augmentation initiatives of FY 2025-26

DIAL maintained its strategic focus on optimizing available
infrastructure while preparing for future growth. Rather than
depending solely on greenfield additions, the airport advanced
a set of operational and terminal reconfiguration initiatives
intended to unlock additional capacity within the existing
footprint.

•    Terminal 2 was refurbished and operationalised in October
2025, enabling traffic reallocation and better balancing of
terminal loads.

•    Pier C at Terminal 3 was converted to international
operations, increasing international passenger handling
capacity at Terminal 3 by approximately 10 Mn passengers
per annum and improving wide-body handling capability.

•    Airside capacity was enhanced from 1,522 to 1,700 ATMs
per day through process improvements and better stand
utilisation.

•    The airport's realigned terminal capacity reached 105 Mn
passengers per annum, with domestic capacity of about 74 Mn
and international capacity of about 31 Mn from FY 2026-27
onward.

Passenger Experience & Operating Efficiency initiatives

terminal, airside, landside and technical operations,
supported by real-time KPI monitoring.

•    Enhanced Unified Total Airside Management (UTAM) use
cases to support turnaround visibility, airside space
management and safety alerts.

•    Developed in-house analytics capability through Azure
Databricks and GenAI-enabled dashboards for operational
and strategic decision-making.

•    Revamped the Delhi International Airport website with
multilingual capability and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
compliance, making it the first airport website in India to
achieve that standard.

•    Expanded premium passenger offerings through the launch
of Encalm Xenia Lounge and Air India Maharaja Lounge at
Terminal 3.

Sustainability Focus

Sustainability remained a core pillar of DIAL's operating
philosophy. Delhi International Airport continued to operate on
100% renewable electricity, supported by a 7.84 MW airside solar
installation and additional renewable power procurement
through open access. Delhi International Airport maintained its
position as the worlds largest airport to achieve ACI Level 5 Airport
Carbon Accreditation, reflecting net zero carbon emissions for
Scope 1 and Scope 2. The airport also continues to pursue net
zero Scope 3 emissions by 2050.

•    Maintained Level 5 Airport Carbon Accreditation, with a 90%
reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions and
approved offset removals for the balance.

•    Achieved Scope I Water Neutrality and received recognition
at the Water Innovation Summit 2025 under the NITI Aayog-

GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Limited ("GVIAL")

GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Limited (GVIAL) is a
company promoted by GAL (99.99%) and has developed the Alluri
Sitarama Raju International Airport, a greenfield airport located
approximately 45 kilometres northeast of Visakhapatnam, Andhra
Pradesh.

The airport is designed to handle 6 Mn passengers per annum in
its initial phase, with provision for future expansion in line with
traffic growth.

FY 2025-26 was a landmark year for the Bhogapuram International
Airport project, with the development progressing from the
construction phase to the final stages of operational readiness.
Construction activities continued at an accelerated pace across
the runway, taxiways, apron, terminal building, utilities and
supporting infrastructure, resulting in overall physical progress
reaching 99.73% as of June 30, 2026, ahead of three-year timelines
from Appointed Date (December 14, 2026) envisaged under the
Concession Agreement.

The airport has been developed with technology, sustainability,
operational efficiency and future scalability at its core. Designed
as a next-generation aviation gateway, Bhogapuram International
Airport integrates several environmentally sustainable features,

significantly towards meeting the airport's energy requirements
thus reducing carbon footprint. The airport also incorporates
energy-efficient building systems, smart building management
systems, high-efficiency HVAC and LED lighting, extensive use
of natural daylight paving the way for LEED Pre-Platinum rating
for Passenger Terminal Building, preservation of 50% of runoff
water through rainwater harvesting, sewage treatment with zero
liquid discharge and the plant shall also help 1/3rd of water
requirement to be met through recycled water. The airport is
developed in line with global best practices in sustainable
infrastructure and reflects GVIAL's commitment to responsible
and environmentally conscious airport development.

During the year, GVIAL achieved several critical regulatory,
operational and project milestones. Key approvals and clearances
obtained inter alia includes Calibration Flight, Commercial
Validation Flight, Security Vetting, Consent to Operate (CTO) and
Aerodrome License as required for airport operations.

GVIAL also successfully completed extensive Operational
Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) trials involving airport
systems, processes and stakeholder agencies. Issues identified
during the trials were systematically addressed and closed,
ensuring readiness of operational procedures prior to airport
commissioning.

Significant progress was also achieved in organisational and
stakeholder preparedness. This included onboarding of key
stakeholders, familiarisation and operational training programs,
recruitment of manpower across functions, development of
operational processes, and coordination with airlines, government
agencies and service providers to facilitate a smooth transition
into commercial operations.

With all major project components substantially completed and
all key approvals being in place, the project is poised for
commercial operations. The airport was inaugurated by the
Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on August 1, 2026.
The airport is scheduled to start operations in August 2026.

Medan Airport

GMR Airports operates, manages Kualanamu International Airport
through an SPV. GMR holds 49% stake in the project SPV with
51% held by PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia.

Highlights of CY 2025:

•    Indonesia's aviation sector has yet to fully recover to pre¬
pandemic levels, primarily due to persistent supply-side
constraints, particularly limited aircraft availability, which
continue to restrict capacity across the region.

•    Medan Airport handled a total of 7.03 Mn passengers in CY
2025 (flat compared to CY 2024). While international traffic
rose by 6% YoY to 2.4 Mn, domestic traffic declined by 5%
to 4.6 Mn during CY 2025.

•    Despite these market challenges, Medan Airport
demonstrated strong resilience in 2025, achieving significant
milestones in both route development and service quality.

•    The airport successfully expanded its international network
by attracting new airlines and increasing capacity on existing
routes. Thai AirAsia launched a four-times-weekly Phuket
Medan service, while Etihad Airways commenced three-
times-weekly Abu DhabiMedan operations in June and
October 2025, respectively. Both routes represent first-ever
direct connections for Medan. Regional connectivity was
further strengthened by Batik Air Malaysia, which introduced
a third daily Kuala Lumpur service and launched daily flights
to Penang in August and December, respectively. Looking
ahead, Scoot will launch daily SingaporeMedan services from
February 2026, while Salam Air is scheduled to commence
MuscatMedan operations in July 2026.

•    On the domestic front, connectivity continued to improve
with the introduction of flights to Mandailing Natal in
February 2025. Existing domestic routes, particularly Jakarta,

Batam, and Takengon, also recorded increased frequencies.
In addition, Pelita Air will introduce a second daily
JakartaMedan service effective January 2026.

•    Beyond aeronautical operations, the airport made significant
progress in strengthening its non-aeronautical business.
Through a competitive selection process, several globally
recognised partners were onboarded across duty-free, retail,
cargo operations, and lounge services, enhancing the
airport's commercial offering. Several leading international
food & beverage and retail brands; many of which are
entering the Medan market for the first time were also
introduced. In parallel, contracts with existing partners were
successfully renegotiated to deliver improved commercial
terms while strengthening governance across key
operational areas, including cargo, fuel services, and terminal
infrastructure.

•    These strategic initiatives delivered strong commercial
outcomes. Compared with 2019, total non-aeronautical
revenue increased by 69%, while non-aeronautical revenue
per passenger grew by 93%. These results reflect not only
improved financial performance but also a significantly
enhanced passenger experience across the airport
ecosystem.

Operational improvements:

The airport continued to implement targeted operational

initiatives to enhance passenger experience, improve efficiency,

and maximise existing infrastructure as detailed below:

•    Passenger capacity and terminal flow were improved through
selective operational reconfiguration, including the
conversion of the existing domestic baggage claim belt into
a swing baggage system capable of serving both domestic
and international flights. This enhancement provides greater
flexibility in gate and baggage belt allocation while
supporting the continued growth of international operations.

•    Passenger processing has been significantly enhanced
through the implementation of the Immigration eGate
system and the All-Indonesia Application (Electronic Arrival
Card Service). These digital initiatives have substantially
reduced immigration and customs processing times,
improving operational efficiency while delivering a faster
and more seamless arrival experience.

•    The airport avoided major capital expenditure while
continuing to enhance the passenger experience by
refurbishment of eight Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs)
to improve operational reliability, passenger comfort, and
boarding facilities, alongside critical repairs to the terminal's
MEP ducting and ceiling systems, which significantly
improved indoor temperature control and overall terminal
comfort.

•    Operational safety, efficiency, and sustainability were further
strengthened through the replacement of departure apron
lighting with energy-efficient LED systems. The upgrade
improved airside visibility and operational performance while
reducing energy consumption, maintenance requirements,
and long-term operating costs.

•    Given the slower-than-expected recovery of domestic traffic
and the operational improvements implemented to optimise
existing capacity, the airport has been able to defer the
planned Immediate Capacity Augmentation (ICA) project,
which would expand terminal capacity to 15 Mn passengers
per annum.

•    This allows capital expenditure to be phased in line with
demand while maintaining service quality and operational
efficiency.

assembly in August 2024. The CJV shall have exclusive rights
to non-aero revenue and real estate business at the airport.
The CJV entity has been incorporated in June 2025.

Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA)

GMR is continuing to serve as the Technical Services Provider to
MCIA until December 2026.

Highlights of CY 2025:

•    MCIA recorded total passenger traffic of 11.6 Mn in CY2025,
comprising 8.6 Mn domestic passengers and 3.0 Mn
international passengers, representing approximately 3%
growth vs CY 2024.

•    Both domestic and international passenger traffic improved
compared with CY 2024. International traffic growth was
supported by stronger inbound demand from key regional
source markets such as South Korea, Japan, Singapore,
Taiwan, and broader Southeast Asia.

•    MCIA s international growth outlook is further strengthened
by the addition of new and recently launched routes to
Guam, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Cheongju, Macau,
and Brisbane, enhancing Cebus direct connectivity with
regional leisure markets and higher-spending passenger
segments. In addition, government-led tourism initiatives,
including simplified visa access and visa-free entry privileges
introduced in 2025, are expected to support incremental
traffic from emerging growth markets such as India and
China. On the domestic front, Catarman was added as a new
route, further expanding MCIAs domestic network.

•    MCIA also continued to strengthen its position as a leading
airport in the region through several key recognitions. It
became the first airport in the Philippines to win the ACI
ASQ Award for two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025, under
the “Best Airport” category for 5-15 MPPA in Asia-Pacific,
reflecting its strong focus on customer experience. MCIA
also received the Skytrax “Most Improved Airport” Award in
2025 and was recognized as Best Airport in Asia by the Travel
Trade Excellence Awards. In line with its sustainability
agenda, MCIA sustained Airport Carbon Accreditation Level

Company was subsequently entrusted with the operation,
maintenance and management of the existing Cargo Terminal at
IGIA under the prevailing concession terms, ensuring
uninterrupted cargo operations. Following the interim concession,
DIAL initiated a competitive bidding process in November 2025
for the appointment of the Operator for Cargo Terminal-1 at
IGIA. The Company was selected as the successful bidder and
awarded the concession in March 2026 to finance, design,
develop, construct, operate, manage, maintain and transfer Cargo
Terminal 1 at IGIA, New Delhi.

At the upcoming new Visakhapatnam International Airport, GAL
was awarded the long-term concession to operate and manage
the airport's non-aeronautical facilities and services. The
concession encompasses Duty Free, Retail, Food & Beverage
(F&B), Car Park & Ground Transportation, Advertising, Foreign
Exchange (Forex), and other commercial services. With the airport
expected to commence operations in Q2 FY 2026-27, The

Company's policies, safeguarding its assets, prevention and
detection of fraud and errors, accuracy and completeness of
accounting records, and timely preparation of reliable financial
disclosures in accordance with Act and SEBI Listing Regulations.

These controls are embedded across various business processes
and are independently evaluated during audits by the
Management Assurance Group, the Company's Internal Auditors,
across all functional areas, including IT and SAP.

Corrective and preventive mitigation plans are implemented to
strengthen controls in areas where weaknesses are identified
during the review process, and the results of such testing are
reported to the Audit Committee on a regular basis. Emphasis is
always placed on the automation of controls within processes to
minimize deviations and exceptions.

During Financial Year 2025-2026, no reportable material
weaknesses were observed in the design or operating
effectiveness of these controls except in few areas where there is
a need to further strengthen the controls.
