INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Onward Technologies Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 2 of 4

Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

    1. These Consolidated financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual 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 net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group and the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and the consolidated statement of cash flow in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards 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 statements 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 Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
    1. In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group is 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.
    1. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

  1. 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 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 consolidated financial results.

    1. 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. (Refer paragraph 15 below)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Onward Technologies Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 3 of 4

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting $\bullet$ 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 auditors' 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 auditors' 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 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 has 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.
    1. 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.
    1. We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.

Notes:

  • 1 The statement has been reviewed by Members of the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 13, 2022.
  • 2 The consolidated financial results include the results of Onward Technologies Limited (the Holding company) and its subsidiaries in USA, Germany, Netherland and Canada (together referred as "the Group").
  • 3 This statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules amended from time to time.
  • 4 The Group has only one operating segment which is Engineering Design and IT services. Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed.
  • 5 During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Group has issued 163,100 equity shares following the exercise of stock options by certain employees under the ESOP scheme, 2009 and has issued 119,000 equity shares following the exercise of stock options by certain employees under the ESOP scheme, 2019.
  • 6 The Group has taken into consideration the impact of the known internal and external events arising from COVID-19 pandemic while preparing the financial information. As part of such assessment, the Group has considered the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables, contract assets, impact of lease modifications, accounting for benefits received from governments and future cash flow position upto the date of approval of these financial results. The Group is confident of recoverability of assets as on March 31, 2022.However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is an ongoing process and it's impact remains uncertain, given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The impact of global health pandemic might be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results and the Group will continue to closely monitor any significant impact on the Group's financial position.
  • 7 The Group had obtained a loan under Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") in the USA. Total amount of INR 1,503.91 lakhs of such loan including interest accrued thereon was disclosed as borrowing. In the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Group's application for forgiveness of such loan and the interest thereon is approved by the Small Business Authorities (SBA) on June 24, 2021. Accordingly, entire amount of such loan outstanding had been disclosed as "Other Income" in the statement of Profit and Loss.
  • 8 The Group had assessed it's eligibility under the Employee Retention Credit relief available under The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) introduced by the USA Government and accordingly concluded that such benefit should be recorded once benefit is received from the Government. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Group has recovered INR 294.38 lakhs relating to previous year which has been disclosed as other income. The Group has also received INR 1,012.17 lakhs as credit towards salary cost of current year which has been netted against such expenses. Such scheme has been discontinued with effect from September 30, 2021 as per recent notification from the Government.
  • 9 The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code'), pertaining to employee benefits during employment and post-employment, received Presidential assent in September 2020. The ministry of Labour and employment has released draft rules for the code on Social security, 2020 on November 13, 2020. The new code may impact the existing employee benefit obligations of the Group. The Group will assess the impact and recognise it in its financial statements in the period in which the Code becomes effective and the related rules are notified.
  • 10 The Group had recognised export incentives amounting to INR 203.82 lakhs under the Service Exports from India Scheme, 2015 (SEIS Scheme) for the services exported till March 31, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, in the view of uncertainty on account of delay in announcement by government about the specific details to claim such benefits, the Group had recognised provision against such receivables. However, such provision has been reversed in the current quarter amounting to INR 132.62 lakhs to the extent of scripts received. The net impact on the statement of profit and loss is INR 71.19 lakhs for the year.
  • 11 The Holding company had entered into an agreement on May 27, 2021 to make preferential allotment to Infinity Direct Holdings (the "investor"). As per the agreement, the Holding company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, had issued 1,100,000 equity shares each fully paid-up at a price of INR 130 (inclusive of face value of INR 10 each) per share for cash and 4,300,000 share warrants, each warrant convertible into one equity share of the Holding company, at a price per warrant of INR 130 (inclusive of face value of INR 10 each), convertible within 18 months from the date of allotment of such warrants. The Holding company received an approval from the shareholders in extra ordinary general meeting for such preferential allotment. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Holding company has converted 4,300,000 share warrants into one equity share against each warrant. All the incidental expenses net of tax related to this preferential allotment amounting to INR 156.10 lakhs had been adjusted against other equity.
  • 12 During the previous year, the Holding company had reduced the salaries of their employees to manage the cashflows effectively in the view of COVID-19 outbreak. In the view of performance of the current period, the Holding company has paid one time incentive to the employees amounting to INR 285.55 lakhs during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

OTPPL owns single immovable property and therefore entire purchase consideration is allocated to the immovable property. Accordingly, this transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition net off incidental assets and liabilities acquired. All the inter company transactions that occurred post the acquisition date have been eliminated .
  • 14 The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 are the derived figures between the audited figures for the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 and published reviewed figures of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively.
  • 15 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through a notification dated March 24, 2021, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, applicable for financial periods commencing from April 1, 2021. Pursuant to such amendments, security deposits INR 252.64 lakhs as at March 31, 2021 have been reclassified from 'Loans' to 'Other financial assets' and current maturities of long term debts INR 8.89 lakhs as at March 31, 2021 have been reclassified from 'Other financial liabilities' to 'Current borrowings'.

  • (ii) give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2022 and the standalone statement of assets and liabilities and the standalone statement of cash flow as at and for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the 'Auditors' 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 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

  1. These Standalone financial results have been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual 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 of the Company and the standalone statement of assets and liabilities and the standalone statement of cash flow in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Onward Technologies Limited Report on the Standalone Financial Results Page 2 of 3

    1. In preparing the standalone financial results, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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.
    1. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

    1. 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 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 results.
    1. 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. (Refer paragraph 11 below)
  • 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 Company 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 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 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 results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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.

Notes:

1 The statement has been reviewed by members of the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 13, 2022.

2 This statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules amended from time to time.

3 The Company has only one operating segment which is Engineering Design and IT services. Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed.

4 During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company has issued 163,100 equity shares following the exercise of stock options by certain employees under the ESOP scheme, 2009 and has issued 119,000 equity shares following the exercise of stock options by certain employees under the ESOP scheme, 2019.

5 The Company has taken into consideration the impact of the known internal and external events arising from COVID-19 pandemic while preparing the financial information. As part of such assessment, the Company has considered the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables, contract assets, impact of lease modifications, accounting for benefits received from governments and future cash flow position upto the date of approval of these financial results. The Company is confident of recoverability of assets as on March 31, 2022. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is an ongoing process and it's impact remains uncertain, given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The impact of global health pandemic might be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results and the Group will continue to closely monitor any significant impact on the Group's financial position.

6 The Company had recognised export incentives amounting to INR 203.82 lakhs under the Service Exports from India Scheme, 2015 (SEIS Scheme) for the services exported till March 31, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, in the view of uncertainty on account of delay in announcement by government about the specific details to claim such benefits, the Company had recognised provision against such receivable. However, such provision has been reversed in the current quarter amounting to INR 132.63 lakhs to the extent of script received. The net impact on the statement of profit and loss is INR 71.19 lakhs for the year.

7 The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code'), pertaining to employee benefits during employment and post-employment, received Presidential assent in September 2020. The ministry of Labour and employment has released draft rules for the code on Social security, 2020 on November 13, 2020. The new code may impact the existing employee benefit obligations of the Company. The Company will assess the impact and recognise it in its financial statements in the period in which the Code becomes effective and the related rules are notified.

  • 8 The Company had entered into an agreement on May 27, 2021 to make preferential allotment to Infinity Direct Holdings (the "investor"). As per the agreement, the Company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, had issued 1,100,000 equity shares each fully paid-up at a price of INR 130 (inclusive of face value of INR 10 each) per share for cash and 4,300,000 share warrants, each warrant convertible into one equity share of the Company, at a price per warrant of INR 130 (inclusive of face value of INR 10 each), convertible within 18 months from the date of allotment of such warrants. The Company received an approval from the shareholders in extra ordinary general meeting for such preferential allotment. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company had converted 4,300,000 share warrants into one equity share against each warrant. All the incidental expenses net of tax related to this preferential allotment amounting to INR 156.10 lakhs had been adjusted against other equity.
  • 9 During the previous year, the Company had reduced the salaries of their employees to manage the cashflows effectively in the view of COVID-19 outbreak. In the view of performance of the current period, the Company has paid one time incentive to the employees amounting to INR 230.66 lakhs during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
  • 10 During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company had acquired 100% equity of OT Park Private Limited (erstwhile "NV Pune Technology Park Private Limited") ("OTPPL") on December 01, 2021 for a purchase consideration including incidental expenses of INR 1,719.90 lakhs. Such amount is recorded as investment in subsidiary. OTPPL owns single immovable property which is leased out to the Company.
  • 11 The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 are the derived figures between the audited figures for the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 and published reviewed figures of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively.
  • 12 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through a notification dated March 24, 2021, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, applicable for financial periods commencing from April 1, 2021. Pursuant to such amendments, security deposits INR 226.90 lakhs as at March 31, 2021 have been reclassified from 'Loans' to 'Other financial assets' and current maturities of long term debts INR 8.89 lakhs as at March 31, 2021 have been reclassified from 'Other financial liabilities' to 'Current borrowings'.
  • 13 The board of directors in its meeting held on May 13, 2022 has recommended final dividend of INR 3.00 per equity share of INR 10 each for the year 2021-22, subject to shareholders approval.
  • 14 Previous year/period figures have been regrouped/rearranged wherever considered necessary.
