Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Tanla Platforms Limited ("the Company") , which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025 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 and based on the consideration of report of branch auditor and other auditor on separate audited financial statements of a branch in Dubai, UAE and ESOP Trust, 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, 2025, 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 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and with the consideration of report of the branch auditor and other auditor referred to in the "Other Matters" section below 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, 2025. 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 Matter

How the Key Audit Matter was addressed in our audit

1 Revenue Recognition:

Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:

Refer to the disclosures related to Revenue Recognition in Note 2B(h) to the Financial Statements.

1. Assessed the Companys revenue recognition accounting policies are in compliance with Ind AS115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IndAS 115).

The Company provides mobile messaging and payment solutions for Application to Peer (A2P) messaging services. The messaging platform has advanced security, reliability, analytics, and service levels along with the proven ability to process the largest volume of messages per second.

2. Understood and evaluated the integrity of the general information and technology control environment and performed test on mitigating manual controls as applicable.

Considering the nature of business in which Company operates, there is complexity of the IT systems, significance of volumes of data processed by the IT systems, the impact of changing pricing models and inherent risk in relation to accuracy and completeness of revenue recognition.

3. Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of relevant controls in respect of revenue recognition and measurement.

Hence, due to the above complexities, significant volume of data processed through operations in a highly competitive marketplace coupled with the impact of changing pricing models, we have considered this as a key audit matter.

4. Performed substantive testing on test check basis and verified supporting documentation for revenue transactions recorded during the year which included sales invoices, customer contracts and bank statements; apart from that performed analytical procedures.

5. Tested inter se reconciliations between relevant IT systems reports with general ledger, and performed verification of revenue recognised, deferred and unbilled revenue. 6. Assessed disclosures in the Financial Statements in respect of revenue, as specified in Ind AS 115.

2 Assessment for impairment of investments:

Our audit procedures in respect of this area included:

Refer Note 2B(f) to the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements for accounting policies and Note 5 for financial disclosures with respect to carrying value of investments in subsidiaries.

1. Assessed the Companys impairment accounting policies are in compliance line with Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets (Ind AS 36).

The Company has non-current investments in unlisted subsidiaries aggregating to 766,171.49 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 which is 49.94% of the total assets of the Company.

2. Obtained an understanding from the management with respect to process and controls followed by the Company to perform impairment test related to investments.

We considered the valuation of such investments to be significant to the audit, because of the materiality of the investments to the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company and the sensitivity thereof to the various unobservable valuation inputs, uncertain future cash flows and assumptions that require considerable judgement.

3. Assessed the Companys internal controls over preparation of annual budgets and future forecasts for the subsidiaries and the approach followed for impairment test and key assumptions applied.

The management assesses at least annually the existence of impairment indicators of each unlisted investment. The determination of recoverable amounts of the unlisted investments relies on managements estimates of future cash flows and their judgement with respect to the investees performance.

4. Assessed the appropriateness of the valuation methodology applied and reasonableness of the assumptions used i.e., the discount rate and long-term growth rates used in the forecast including comparison to economic and industry forecasts where appropriate.

Hence, due to the materiality of the impairment amount in the context of the Standalone Financial Statements and significant degree of judgement and subjectivity involved in the estimates and key assumptions used as above, this is considered to be the area which requires significant audit focus and accordingly, the matter is determined as a key audit matter.

5. Assessed the reasonableness of the revenue and margin projections, the historical accuracy of the Companys estimates and its ability to produce accurate long-term forecasts.

6. Verified the arithmetical / mathematical accuracy of the management computations.

7. Assessed and validated the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made by the management in the Standalone Financial Statements.

8. Ensured the compliance of Ind AS 36 with respect to disclosures.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management report, Chairmans statement, Directors report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting etc., but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Management report, Chairmans statement, Directors report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting etc., 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 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Management report, Chairmans statement, Directors report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting etc., 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 Financial Statements

The Companys Board of Directors is 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. 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 statement 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 and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is 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 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.

We give in "Annexure A" a detailed description of Auditors responsibilities for Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements.

Other Matters

a. We did not audit the financial statements of a branch located outside India included in the standalone financial statements of the Company whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs.916.50 Lakhs as at March 31, 2025, and the total revenue of Rs.100.08 Lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the financial statements of the branch.

ANNEXURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF TANLA PLATFORMS LIMITED

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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)0) 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.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of the branch and the Trust which are included in the Company to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. For the branch and Trust included in the standalone financial statements, which have been audited by other auditor, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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 for the year ended March 31, 2025 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.

We, however, state that this is not an assurance as to the future viability of the Company.

Also, refer Note 40 to the standalone financial statements.
