A Oneindia Venture

Auditor Report of Kernex Microsystems (India) Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Kernex Microsystems (India) Limited
(the “Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity
for the year ended on that date, and notes to the 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, except for the
effects of the matter described in the “Basis for Qualified Opinion” paragraph below,
the aforesaid Stand¬
alone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under
section 133 of the Act, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs
of the Company as at March 31, 2025 and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified opinion

We draw attention to the matters described below, the effect of which, individually or in aggregate, are mate¬
rial but not pervasive to the Standalone Financial Statements. The effects of matters described below, which
could be reasonably determined, are quantified and given therein.

a. The Company has a Wholly owned subsidiary namely Avant-Garde Infosystems Inc in USA which is
presently supporting the business of the Company by identifying the sources, negotiating for and pro¬
curing electronic components from outside India. The subsidiary in the past, was involved in the trading
of goods.

b. As per the latest unaudited financials of the subsidiary available as on 31st March 2025, the accumulat¬
ed loss of the subsidary company for the period ended 31st March 2025 is USD 1.894 million (the equiv¬
alent Indian Rupees being Rs. 1,617.84 lakhs as per prevailing exchange rate), Which is exceeding
the cost of investment made USD 1.822 million (Rs. 1,275.97 lakhs (at Cost)). As a result, the carrying
amount of the investment in the equity of subsidiary in the books of account of the Company amounting
to Rs. 1,275.97 lakhs (at Cost) stand''s impaired fully. Ind AS 36, requires the company to provide for
impairment in respect of diminution in the value of investments by charging the amount of impairment
to the Profit & Loss Account.

c. The Company made an investment of Rs. 8.00 lakhs in KERNEX TCAS JV - a controlled entity (sub¬
sidiary) formed to execute a railway safety project, in which the Company has 80% share in the profits
and losses. In addition, the Company has also provided the long-term advance of Rs. 575.89 lakhs
(Including interest amount). As per the latest audited financials of KERNEX TCAS JV as on 31st March
2025, the JV has total assets of Rs 718.55 lakhs and outside liabilities (other than the advance due to
the company) is Rs. 442.94 lakhs. Thus, the net assets available amounting to Rs 275.61 lakhs are not
sufficient to recover the advance given to KERNEX TCAS JV which is Rs. 575.89 lakhs (Including inter¬
est amount) as on 31st March 2025. Accordingly in our opinion the same investments and the advance
are subject to impairment in standalone financial statements to the extent of Rs 308.28 lakhs.

Since the Company has not impaired the cost of investments in the equity of subsidiary and the advance
granted to KERNEX TCAS JV to an extent of Rs. 1,584.25 lakhs (Rs. 1,275.97 lakhs on account of diminution
in the value of the investment in equity of the wholly owned subsidiary & Rs. 308.28 lakhs on account of insuf¬
ficient funds available in KERNEX TCAS JV), the profit and other Comprehensive Income for the year ended
are overstated by the said amount. The Other Equity in the balance sheet for the year ended is overstated by
Rs.1, 584.25 lakhs.

Our conclusion on the standalone financial statements is qualified in respect of the above matters.

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Audit¬
ing (SA''s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor''s Responsibility 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 (“ICAI”) 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 ICAI''s Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 12 and 14 of the Standalone Financial Statements, which describes
the company’s assessment towards the recoverability of the following financial assets which are
outstanding for long period of time:

a. Trade Receivables from customers Rs. 422.10 Lakhs (PY 418.34 Lakhs) and respective
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) provision for the CY Rs. 211.67 Lakhs (PY Rs.183.58 Lakhs). The
said receivable is outstanding for more than 3 years.

b. Margin money deposits with banks of Rs. 1,905.12 Lakhs (PY 1,513.31 Lakhs) provided for
customer guarantees of Rs. 3,521.18 Lakhs (PY 2,161.71Lakhs) and under arbitration /
negotiation.

Such assessments are based on current facts and circumstances and may not necessarily reflect
future uncertainties and events and the final recoverable amounts may vary for the reasons mentioned
therein.

Our conclusion on the statement is not qualified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

2. Existence and valuation of inventories

As at 31st March 2025, the Company has reported
inventories amounting to ?5,179.82 lakhs (Refer
Note 10 of the Standalone Financial Statements),
comprising raw materials and work-in-progress.
Given the materiality of this balance and the
complexities involved in physical verification and
valuation of inventories across various locations and
stages of production, this matter has been identified
as a Key Audit Matter.

The physical verification of raw material stocks held
in stores was conducted by the management. We
reviewed the verification records and applied rollback
procedures to reconcile the verified quantities to the
balances as at 31st March 2025 based on inventory
movement data.

Inventories held at project sites and were physically
verified by the respective site in-charge in coordination
with the management ,we have reviewed the physical
verification report and confirmation submitted by the
site in-charge and reconciliation''s were made in
respect of the materials delivered from Head Office to
project sites and materials invoice from project site to
customers

Work-in-progress was examined based on the records
maintained through the Company''s inventory records
and related registers maintained in the accounting
system . The Value of the Work - in progress is
evaluated with reference to the material cost available
in the accounting system and allocation of overheads
with reference to the various stages of production of
the items

We examined the Stores records ,inventory records
maintained in the accounting system and the cost
allocation procedures implemented in the company
to understand and assess the movement of inventory
transactions, including receipts from purchases,
issues for production, and stock transfers. We also
evaluated the valuation methodology applied by the
Company in accordance with its accounting policy
and Ind AS 2 - Inventories, and performed material
reconciliation procedures to verify the accuracy of the
closing stock balances.

3. Balances with statutory and government
authorities

As at 31st March 2025, the Company has reported
balances amounting to ?912.96 lakhs lying with
statutory and government authorities (Refer Note
16 of the Standalone Financial Statements).
Considering the materiality of the amount and the
nature of regulatory compliances involved, this
matter has been identified as a Key Audit Matter.

This balance primarily comprises Input Tax Credit
(ITC) and GST TDS receivable, which the Company
intends to avail or set off against future tax liabilities
arising from sales.

We have verified these balances against the returns
filed by the Company under the applicable GST laws.
We also corroborated the reported balances with data
available on the relevant government portals (i.e. GST
portal) to ensure accuracy and recoverability. Based
on our procedures, we assessed the appropriateness
of the recognition and presentation of these balances
in the financial statements.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon (“Other Information”)

• The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Report of the Board of Directors including Annexures
thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis Report but does not include the Consolidated Financial
Statements, 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 the other information is materially inconsistent
with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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 management and those charged with governance 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 re¬
spect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the finan¬
cial 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 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 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 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 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 intend to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company''s Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting pro¬
cess.

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. Misstate¬
ments 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.

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 con¬
trols with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting esti¬
mates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 results 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 represents the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or
in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the
Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate
the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.

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 financial
controls 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.

Mar 31, 2024

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Kernex Microsystems (India) Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the statement of Profit and Loss, including the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to the 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, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph below, the aforesaid standalone Financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2014, 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, 2024, its loss including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

(a) The Company has a 100% subsidiary namely Avant Garde International Inc in USA which is presently supporting the business of the company by identifying the sources, negotiating for and procuring electronic components from outside India. The subsidiary in the past, was involved in the trading of goods.

As per the latest unaudited financials of the subsidiary available as on 31-03-2024, the net worth of the subsidiary has eroded fully and to an extent of USD 1.917 million against an investment of USD 1.821 million, the equivalent Indian Rupees being 1450.81 lakhs per prevailing exchange rate. As a result, the carrying amount of the investment by the Company in the equity of subsidiary at Rs. 1275.97 lakhs (at Cost) (Note 4) stands fully impaired. Ind AS 36 requires the company to provide for impairment in the value of investments which are accounted at Cost by providing for the amount of impairment in the Profit & Loss Account.

(b) The Company besides making an investment of Rs. 8 lakhs in TCAS JV - a joint venture partnership (Note 4) formed to execute a railway safety project, in which the Company has 80% share in the profits and losses; has further exposure by way of long-term advances of Rs. 489.70 lakhs (Note 6.1) and a trade receivable of Rs. 97.54 lakhs (ECL provided of Rs. 8.53 lakhs) (Note 3). The TCAS JV has accumulated losses Rs. 216. 23 lakhs as on 31-03-2024 and the share of Company in these losses works to Rs. 172.99 lakhs (Note 34A). In our view, the company is required to make a provision for impairment loss towards its investment, loan and trade receivables to the tune of Rs. 164.46 lakhs to account for the share of accumulated losses in the Joint venture in its stand-alone financial statements.

Since the Company has not impaired the cost of investments, the advance granted to joint venture and trade receivable to an extent of Rs. 1440.43 lakhs ( Rs. 1275.97 lakhs on account of AGI & Rs. 164.46 lakhs on account of TCAS JV) in its books, the Loss for the year and other Comprehensive Income are understated by the said amount. The Other Equity in the balance sheet is overstated by Rs. 1440.43 lakhs. Our conclusion on the statement is qualified in respect of the above matters.

We conducted our audit of standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 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.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 3, 7, 10 and 33 (g) of the standalone financial statements which describes that the company has assessed the recoverability and impairment of the following financial assets:

(a) Trade Receivables from customers Rs. 532.46 lakhs (including a related party of Rs. 323.77 (PY Rs. 512.12 lakhs) net of ECL provision.

(b) MAT credit receivable of Rs. 122.56 lakhs (PY Rs. 122.56 lakhs)

(c) Margin money deposits with banks of Rs. 1513.30 lakhs (PY Rs. 1702.34 lakhs) secured for customer guarantees and under arbitration / negotiation.

Such assessments are based on current facts and circumstances and may not necessarily reflect future uncertainties and events and the final recoverable amounts may vary for the reasons mentioned therein.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor''s Response

1. The Company (as a lead member) along with a third party as consortium partners (with joint and several liability), entered into Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contracts with a Customer in financial year 22-23 in connection with providing railway safety equipment on EPC basis. The consortium partners entered an inter se agreement to share the revenues from these customer contracts in proportion to the scope of work agreed between them, each being responsible for their share of agreed work.

The Company, though as a lead member received the entire revenue, it accounted revenue to the extent of its share alone i.e., after deducting the amount per scope of work for which the other consortium partner is responsible and entitled to. The revenue from these contracts commenced in this year of audit, and being material to the Company is considered as a key audit matter.

We have examined the EPC contract with the Customer, the inter se agreement between consortium partners which detailed the scope of work for which each of them is responsible, and the proportion of contract value payable to the third-party consortium partner for its share of work under the contract. In terms of Ind AS 115 the Company accounted only for its share of revenue as the income from the contract instead of gross revenue of the contract with a corresponding adjustment to contract assets.

We reviewed the invoices raised on the customer vis a vis the invoices raised by third party consortium partner on the company (Note 20). For the purposes of determining the company''s share of

Auditor''s Response

revenue from the EPC contract, the company''s management certified the proportion of work rendered by third party consortium partner basis contract milestones for reduction from the invoices raised on the customer.

Pending confirmation of balances by the third-party consortium partner, we have verified their invoices raised on the company and the remittances made to them.

2. The Customers of the Company stipulated material amounts as liquidated damages for delays in execution of the contract, which are not accounted for.

As regards liquidated damages, we have been informed by the management that the contracts most likely would be extended on account of delays at Customer-end obviating the need to provide for liquidated damages in the financial statements. We have verified the receipts from customers during the year to confirm that no deductions were made towards liquidated damages.

3. The value of Inventories (Note No 8) at Rs. 7169.56 Lakhs comprising of Raw materials, Work in Progress and Finished goods as on 31-03-2024 is considered as a key audit matter considering the relative size of it in the financial statements.

The physical verification of raw material stocks in stores was conducted by the Internal auditors and management in April 24 & Finished goods at production department were physically verified by us in May 24; both of which have been related back to year-end numbers based on the recorded movement from year-end to the date(s) of physical verification, to ascertain corresponding book balances as on 31-032024.

Finished goods and other components of Rs. 2564.79 lakhs include Rs. 1918.25 lakhs at project site not verified by us but certified by the management. Material components lying in production department under conversion to semi-finished / finished goods, valued at Rs. 1914.79 lakhs (excluding unbilled revenue of Rs. 163.47 lakhs), as per the integrated software application could not be physically verified.

We have verified the integrated accounting and inventory software maintained by the Company to ascertain the receipts from purchases, issues and stock transfers; for material balancing of major items of raw materials to arrive at the closing stock of Inventories as well as the valuation thereof.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor''s Response

4. Balances lying with statutory / government authorities as on 31-03-2024 amount to Rs. 1506.93 lakhs (Note 6) is considered as a key audit matter considering the relative size of it in the financial statements.

This amount relates to Input credit and GST TDS to be availed / set off against future sales by the Company. We have verified the same with the returns filed by the Company under the Statute and the amounts recorded in the concerned authorities'' portal(s)

Information Other than the Standalone 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. The Company''s Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors'' report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 Companies Act, 2013 (“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 the 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 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 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 the Board of Directors 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 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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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.

Kernex Microsystems (India) Limited Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Qualified

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Kernex Microsystems (India) Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2023, and the statement of Profit and Loss, including the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant 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, 2023, its loss 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 standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 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.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 44 to the standalone financial statements which describes that the Company has assessed the recoverability and impairment of certain financial assets namely trade receivables including Rs. 414.57 lakhs from Related party, income tax assets and margin money /security deposits secured for customer guarantees under arbitration / negotiation. Such assessments are based on current facts and circumstances and may not necessarily reflect future uncertainties and events and the final recoverable amount may vary for the reasons mentioned there in.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor''s Response

1. The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods/services based on the terms and conditions of purchase orders / contracts received from different customers. For recognising revenue, the control of goods / services are transferred to the customer. As revenue recognition is subject to management''s assessment as to when control is transferred / services performed, we consider this as a key audit matter.

1. We have evaluated the appropriateness of the assumptions applied for assessing the revenue and tested the evidence to support the revenue recognition.

Information Other than the Standalone 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 and 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 and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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 Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“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 the 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 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 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 the Board of Directors 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 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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of KERNEX MICROSYSTEMS (INDIA) LIMITED ("the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial

Reporting (the "Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
