Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)
To the Board of Directors of Brainbees Solutions Limited
-
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results (‘the Statement’) of Brainbees Solutions Limited (‘the Holding Company’), its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, its LLP, and its control trusts together referred to as ‘the Group’), (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries included in the Statement) for the quarter ended 31 December 2024 and the consolidated year to date results for the period 01 April 2024 to 31 December 2024, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (‘Listing Regulations’). Attention is drawn to the fact that the consolidated figures for the corresponding quarter ended 31 December 2023 as reported in the Statement have been approved by the Holding Company’s Board of Directors but have not been subjected to audit or review.
-
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company’s management and approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (‘Ind AS 34’), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, and consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulation, to the extent applicable.

-
Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and upon consideration of the review reports of other auditors referred to in paragraph 5 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34, prescribed under section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
-
We did not review the interim financial results of a subsidiary, 15 stepdown subsidiaries and a controlled trust included in the Statement, whose financial information reflect(s) total revenues of ₹ 7,984.97 million and ₹ 21,702.04 million, total net loss after tax of ₹ 509.99 million and ₹ 1,426.00 million, total comprehensive loss of ₹ 510.09 million and ₹ 1,426.11 million for the quarter and yearto-date ended on 31 December 2024, respectively, as considered in the financial results of the entities included in the Group. These interim financial results have been reviewed by other auditors whose review reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our conclusion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries is based solely on the review reports of such other auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.
Further, of these subsidiaries, a subsidiary and three step-down subsidiaries are located outside India, whose interim financial results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been reviewed by other auditors under generally accepted auditing standard applicable in their respective countries. The Holding Company’s management has converted the financial results of such subsidiaries from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have reviewed these conversion adjustments made by the Holding Company’s management. Our conclusion, in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of these subsidiaries is based on the review report of other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and reviewed by us.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters with respect to our reliance on the work done by and the reports of the other auditors.
- The Statement includes the interim financial results of 3 subsidiaries, a stepdown subsidiary and a controlled trust which have not been reviewed by their auditors, whose interim financial results reflects total revenues of ₹ 23.99 million and ₹ 80.14 million, net profit /(loss) after tax of ₹ 0.40 million and ₹ (3.56) million, total comprehensive income/(loss) of ₹ 0.08 million and ₹ (3.05) for the quarter and year-to-date period ended 31 December 2024 respectively as considered in the Statement, and have been furnished to us by the Holding Company’s management.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on Standalone Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)
To the Board of Directors of Brainbees Solutions Limited
-
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of standalone unaudited financial results (‘the Statement’) of Brainbees Solutions Limited (‘the Company’) for the quarter ended 31 December 2024 and the year to date results for the period 01 April 2024 to 31 December 2024, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (‘Listing Regulations’).
-
The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company’s management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (‘Ind AS 34’), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, and consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

- Based on our review conducted as above nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34, prescribed under section 133 of the Act, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
