Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under Section 143( 10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 consolidated financial results 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 other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in "Other Matters" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter Paragraph

Attention is invited to Note 4 to the consolidated financial results, which indicates that in the absence of availability of audited financial statements of the investee in China for last about six years and other recent financial information, the investments in equity instruments held by the Group in the said investee is carried at cost, being an appropriate estimate of fair value, in accordance with paragraph B5.2.3 of Appendix Bon the Application Guidance to Ind AS 109 on "Financial Instruments" .

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

This Statement of the consolidated financial results has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial results that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and consolidated other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with

Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial results by the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results 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 consolidated financial results.

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 consolidated financial results, 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 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 the Board of Directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 ability of the Group 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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results/financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial results, which have been audited by other auditors, 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated financial results 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 consolidated financial results.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors 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.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.

Impact of Covid pandemic and related lockdown measures:

Retail Business:

Consequent to the Global Pandemic, Vietnam (one of our top International markets) was the first to get impacted in February 3rd week. Other countries followed suit on different dates in March. In India, classes in different geographies started shutting from 2nd week of March onwards in compliance with the Lockdown announced by the State and National Governments. Though the Lockdown has been relaxed phase-wise from 17th May 2020, In India, all centres have suspended classes as we await clear directives from the National and State Governments as applicable. In Vietnam, the most centres have resumed classes in phases from 18th May 20 onwards.

We have initiated various measures to enhance our resilience:

  • Digital Pivot embracing remote delivery, online counseling, digital marketing and encouraging digital payments.
  • Re-skilling Faculties and Centre staff for Digital Pivot while working from Home
  • Sustained Student engagement with Online initiatives
  • Impact assessment on industries that employ our students

Anticipating challenges which will be faced on resumption of physical classes, such as reduced physical capacity (due to social distancing), increased fragmentation of batches (due to differential training received during lockdown), inability of some students to travel (due to restricted local transport) and adherence to safety norms, detailed resumption Centre Operations and Academic guidelines and SOP's have been initiated at all centers. We have also identified levers to mitigate the adverse impact for Franchisees.

Institutional Business:

Due to the pandemic and the subsequent Lockdown, educational institutes and government agencies postponed the conduct of assessments. Fresh recruitment and assessment plans were put on hold by many Customers or potential Customers.

We have initiated various measures to enhance our resilience:

  • Digital Pivot Software solution developed to address new norms of social distancing while conducting exams, Evaluation of new digital opportunities like LCMS, Remote Proctored Exam and Web-based evaluation
  • Rollout plan for all existing contracts in hand recalibrated and reconfigured with Digital Pivot as far as possible

Depending on the schedule of resumptions of operations across states, a slow and steady movement towards commencement of assessments may be anticipated.

Digital solution and new SOP's implemented to adhere to the revised health and safety measures at Test Centers, which may result in slightly higher costs.

Going forward

We believe digital training, assessment and payments are trends which will solidify even more in times ahead. Our endeavours in this regard wi ll enhance our business and open new market segments. We will work with our business partners, students and institutional clients to capitalise on t hese trends.

Many of the challenges faced during t he lockdown are likely to continue even as the economy gradually opens after the lockdown. The full extent to which the pandemic will impact our future financial results will depend upon upcoming developments, which are highly uncertain, including any new information concerning t he severity of the pandemic and the actions to mitigate its spread.

These are trying times and we will continue to do our best, first to keep our students and employees safe. We believe that t he job enablement training will continue to be required as people look to skill and reskill themselves in line with the emerging scenarios.

Financial Impact:

Adverse Revenue impact on account of the pandemic is estimated to be around Rs 16 Cr during the quarter ended March 2020, which also has an impact on Operating Profits. Collection from Students and New Centre signups have been adversely impacted until the Lockdown period and would continue to be impacted t ill classes are allowed to be resumed.

The Company has been a net zero debt situation since FY 11. As of now there is sufficient liquidity to weather the current headwinds. The Company's financial and Internal control systems are automated end to end and therefore no challenges are envisaged on this front.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To The Board of Directors Aptech Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying statement of standalone financial results of APTECH LIMITED ("the Company") for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2020 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("Listing Regulations").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement :

    1. is presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
    1. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net loss, other comprehensive loss and other financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and of the net profit, other comprehensive loss and other financial information of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results 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

Office: Metro House, 3rd Floor, M.G. Road, Dhobi Talao, Mumbai - 400 020. Tel: 22014922/22004002/2200 4008/9/2206 8409/6636 0763 ·Fax: (91-22) 2205 0147 Email : [email protected]Website : www. bsmco.net

("!CAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial results 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.

Emphasis of Matter Paragraph

Attention is invited to Note 4 to the standalone financial results, which indicates that in the absence of availability of audited financial statements of the investee in China for last about six years and other recent financial information, the investments in equity instruments held by the wholly owned step-down foreign subsidiary in the said investee is carried at cost, being an appropriate estimate of fair value, in accordance with paragraph 85.2.3 of Appendix B on the Application Guidance to Ind AS 109 on "Financial Instruments". Consequently, in terms of Ind AS 109, the Company has continued to carry its investments in equity instruments of its immediate wholly owned subsidiary, Aptech Ventures Limited, at its cost of~ 2,135.67 lacs.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

This Statement of standalone financial results has been prepared on the basis of standalone financial statements.

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

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 results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial results, the 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 Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial results 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 results.

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 results, 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 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 the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 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 results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial results 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 results.

BANSI S. MEHTA & CO. CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

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.

Other Matter

The figures of the standalone financial results as reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the corresponding quarter ended in the previous year are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year-to-date figures up to the end of third quarter of the relevant financial year. Also, the figures upto the end of the third quarter of the current and previous financial year had only been subjected to limited review by us.
