SYSTEMS (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 Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash flows for the year then ended and
notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the material accounting policies
and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone Ind AS
financial statements").
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 ("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 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as
amended ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025 & its profit and other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with
the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors
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 (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 made 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 audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the current
period. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our
report.
Information Other than the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditors Report
thereon
The Companys 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, Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, Business
Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information, but does not
include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditors 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 Ind AS 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 Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other
comprehensive income/ loss, statement of changes in equity and cash flows 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.
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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and the 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 Ind
AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Companys 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial
reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditors 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 a part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism 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 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 managements 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 Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in
the standalone 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
auditors 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 misstatement 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 statement may be influenced. We
consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our
audit work; and (ii) evaluating the results of our work and to evaluate the effective of
an identified misstatement in the standalone financial statement.
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
auditors 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.

Annexure "B to the Independent Auditors Report
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section
143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") as referred to in paragraph 1(f) of
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements section
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial control with reference to financial statement of
SBEC SYSTEMS (INDIA) LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31,
2025 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the
year ended on that date.
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 31, 2025, 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 of Audit of
Internal Financial controls over financial reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements,
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 (ICAI). 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 companys 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 Act.
Auditors Responsibility
- Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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 prescribed under Section 143(10)
of the Act, 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 ICAI. 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 auditors 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 Companys internal financial controls system
over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
- A companys 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 companys 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;
- 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
- provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys 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.
