Independent Auditor's Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Audited Ind AS Standalone Financial 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 Centum Electronics Limited

Report on the audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Results

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year to date standalone Ind AS financial results of Centum Electronics Limited (the ''Company") for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and for the year ended March 3 1, 2023 ('·Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regul ation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regul ations, 201 5, as amended (the "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 the Listing Regul ations in this regard; and
    1. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31 , 2023 and fo r the year ended March 3 I, 2023.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143( I 0) of the Compani es Act, 201 3, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the '·Auditor's Responsibilities for the Aud it of the Standalone Ind AS Financ ial Results" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethi cs issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are re levant to our audit of the standalone financ ial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfill ed our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these req uirements and the Code of Ethi cs. We bel ieve that the audit evidence obtai ned by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis fo r our opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income of the Company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in Ind ia and in compliance with Regulatio n 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also inc ludes 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; maki ng judgments and estimates thaf ar ~ onable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate

Chartered Accountants

internal financial controls. that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounti ng records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, d isc losing, 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 are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

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

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whol e is 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 the Statement.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We a lso:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 resulti ng 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. Ifwe 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 disc losures 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 go ing concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fa ir 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 sign ificant defici encies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We a lso provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethi cal requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other

S.R. BATLIBOI & A SSOCIATES LLP

Chartered Accountant s

matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2023 and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us, as required under the Listing Regulations.

S.R. BATL/801 & ASSOCIATES LLP

Chartered Accountants

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under Section 143( I 0) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are fu1ther described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results'' section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its associate in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 other auditors in terms of their repo1ts referred to in "Other Matter" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual fin ancial statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its associate in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles genera lly accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The respecti ve Board of Directors of the compani es included in the Group and of its associ ate and 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 its associate 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 fi nanci al controls, that were operating effective ly fo r ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fra ud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the compan ies inc luded in the Group and of its associate are responsible for assessi ng the abil ity of Group and of its assoc iate 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 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 and of its associate are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associate.

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

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 reasonab ly be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Statement.

S.R. BATL/80/ & ASSOCIATES LLP

Chartered Accountants

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 Statement, 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 I 43(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 disc losures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropri ateness 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 and its associate 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 disc losures in the Statement or, if such disc losures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our concl usions are based on the audit ev idence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achi eves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit ev idence regarding the consolidated financial results/financial information of the entities within the Group and its associate of whi ch we are the independent auditors to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial information of such entities included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, wh ich have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remai n responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsibl e for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Statement 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 regard ing independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where appl icable, related safeguards.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD 1/44/2019 dated March 29, 2019 issued by the Securities Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.
