We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of financial statements of
OCTAWARE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at 31st March 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then
ended, and 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 financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013
(the âAct'') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2025, and its
profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 Financial Statements section of
our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act,
2013 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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.
There are no Key Audit Matters Reportable as per SA 701 issued by ICAI.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and
Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. These reports are expected to be made
available to us after the date of our auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information included in the above reports, if we conclude that there is
material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance and determine the actions under the applicable laws and regulations.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone these financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company
in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Accounting
standards referred to in section 133 of the Act, as applicable. 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
standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do
so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting
process.
Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the
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 standalone financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
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 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
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 control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements 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.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Octaware Technologies Limited ("the Company"] as of March 31st, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management 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, including adherence to company''s policies, 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 Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting 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"] and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10] of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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, 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 31st, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated
