Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Subex Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, and the Statement of Profit and Loss, including Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone 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 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, 2026, and profit (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone 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 StatementsRs.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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us 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 standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. 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.

Sr. No Key Audit Matters How the Key Audit Matters was addressed in our audit
1 Impairment assessment of investment in subsidiary: Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:
As at March 31, 2026, the carrying value of Companys investments in its subsidiaries is Rs.13,795 lakhs. 1) We assessed whether the Companys accounting policy with respect to impairment is in accordance with Ind AS 36 "Impairment of assets";
The Company accounts for investments in subsidiaries at cost less any provision for impairment loss. Annually, the impairment assessment for such investments have been carried out by the management in accordance with Ind AS 36. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying value of investment is assessed for impairment and where applicable an impairment provision is recognised. 2) We obtained and critically evaluated managements forecasts of future cash flows underpinning the impairment assessment. We assessed the reasonableness of the key assumptions embedded in the forecasts — including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditure projections and terminal growth rates — by benchmarking them against externally available industry data, macroeconomic indicators and comparable market information.
Impairment testing of Investments in subsidiaries is Key Audit Matter as the amount is material to the standalone financial statements and the determination of recoverable value for impairment assessment involves significant management judgement and estimates. 3) Evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the independent external specialists engaged by management and assessed whether the scope and methodology of the specialists work were appropriate and sufficient for the purposes of the impairment assessment.
4) We engaged our internal valuation specialists to independently assess the valuation methodology adopted by management and to evaluate the appropriateness of the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model, including the discount rate applied and the basis for terminal value determination.
5) Performed a retrospective review of estimates by comparing the actual financial performance the business for the year ended 31 March 2026 with the budgeted financial performance considered by management during the previous year and assessed if the estimation process is reasonable;
6) We held discussions with senior management to understand and challenge the justification for the key assumptions underlying the cash flow projections, including the commercial rationale for growth expectations and the basis for long-term margin assumptions. We supplemented these discussions with further sensitivity testing to assess the reasonableness of managements position
7) We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the financial projection model; and
8) We assessed and validated the Companys disclosures concerning this in Note 2(b) on significant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 5 pertaining to the disclosures of investments as per the requirements of Ind AS 36: "Impairment of Assets" ("Ind AS 36") in the Standalone Financial Statements.

 

2 Revenue Recognition: Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:
•The Company derives its revenue primarily from sale, implementation and customization of its proprietary license and related managed/support services. 1) We assessed the revenue recognition accounting policies by comparing with applicable accounting standards;
2) We tested key controls (both design and operating effectiveness) with respect to revenue recognition and related cost estimations;
In accordance with Ind AS 115, the Company classifies its various contracts with customers and determines whether revenue should be recognized at "point in time" or "over the time" basis. 3) We carried out analytical procedures on revenue recognized during the year ended to identify unusual variances;
There are various areas involving complexities, judgements and estimates involved in accounting for revenue recognized on "over the time" basis, including 4) We performed substantive testing by selecting samples of revenue transactions, recorded during the year ended by testing the underlying documents using statistical sampling;
a) Estimation of total costs/ efforts at inception and remaining costs/ efforts to completion, which is a critical factor in measuring progress of a contract and amounts of revenue to be recognized; and 5) We evaluated managements estimates (Total contract costs/ efforts and remaining costs/ efforts to completion) by performing analytical procedures on such estimates;
b) Assessment of various risks emanating from operational delays, contract terms, changes in estimations and scope, accounting for onerous obligations, technical, legal, external environment etc. This requires the Company to estimate various costs to capture such risks. 6) We performed a retrospective review for contracts completed during the current year by comparing the final outcome of the contracts with previous estimates made for those contracts to assess the reliability of the managements estimation process ;
7) We performed tests for completeness and appropriateness of actual cost booked in the correct period, by testing the underlying documents for samples selected using statistical sampling; and
In view of the above and because the Company and its external stakeholders focus on revenue as a key performance indicator, we determined this area to be an area involving significant risk, an area of audit focus, and accordingly a key audit matter. 8) We assessed the Companys disclosures concerning this in Note 2(b) on significant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 21 pertaining to the disclosures of revenue from operations to the accompanying standalone financial statements.
3 Evaluation of key tax matters: Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:
The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to periodic challenges by local tax authorities on a range of tax matters during the normal course of business including transfer pricing and indirect tax matters. 1) We obtained an understanding of the Companys process for identifying, recognising and measuring provisions for tax disputes and for determining the appropriate classification of matters as provisions or contingent liabilities. We tested the design and operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over these processes.
These involve significant judgment by the Company to determine the possible outcome of the uncertain tax positions, consequently having an impact on related accounting and disclosures in the standalone financial statements, which have been a matter of significance during the audit and hence considered as a key audit matter.
2) We obtained and reviewed the opinion of managements external tax expert on the status and likely outcome of ongoing litigations. In doing so, we assessed the independence, objectivity and professional competence of the expert, and evaluated whether the scope of the experts work was adequate for our purposes
3) We obtained and examined details of tax assessments, demands raised by tax authorities, and orders and notices received in respect of ongoing disputes and litigation. We critically evaluated the basis on which management has assessed the likelihood of outflow and the quantum of exposure recognised or disclosed in each case;
4) We evaluated appropriateness of assumptions made by the Company in estimating the current and deferred tax balances;
5) We engaged our internal tax specialists to independently review the status of tax assessments and to evaluate managements position on the likelihood of an adverse outcome in each ongoing dispute. Our specialists assessed whether managements conclusions were consistent with applicable tax law, judicial precedent, and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter
6) We assessed the Companys disclosures concerning this in Note 2(b) on significant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 33 pertaining to the disclosures of contingent liability to the accompanying standalone financial statements.

The other information comprises the information included in the Directors report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Directors report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

When we read the Directors report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance

under SA 720 ‘The Auditors responsibilities Relating to Other Information

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 financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act.

Auditors 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 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.

Statements of Subex Limited

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls 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 estimates and related disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Directors 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.

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 significanceinthe auditof the standalone financialstatements for the year ended March 31, 2026 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.
