INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY:
Your company believes that strong internal controls are essential for the smooth and secure functioning of any organization. These controls include processes, policies, and procedures that help protect the company’s resources from risks and threats. They ensure that transactions are approved properly, recorded accurately, and carried out in line with company policies and this would reduce the chances of mistakes, fraud, or incorrect financial reporting. Your company’s internal control framework is designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and accountability across all business processes, with a strong focus on risk mitigation and adherence to statutory, contractual, and security requirements.
A key part of this system is the role of the Audit Committee. Working closely with the Internal Auditor, the Audit Committee regularly reviews the company’s internal controls. These reviews take place at fixed intervals and are aimed at checking whether the controls are effective. If any gap is found, the Audit Committee recommends corrective action to fix it. The company also carries out regular risk assessments for both existing processes and any new workflows introduced. This proactive approach helps identify risks early so that preventive measures can be taken before issues arise. By constantly reviewing and updating its risk management strategies, the company stays prepared for changing business needs and external factors.
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL WITH REFERENCE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. During the year no material weakness in the design or operation was observed.

As part of this commitment, a formal Vigil Mechanism, commonly referred to as the Whistle Blower Policy, has been instituted to enable employees and stakeholders to raise concerns regarding any actual or suspected unethical behavior, violation of legal or regulatory requirements, or any other wrongful conduct.
The mechanism is designed to promote a culture of openness and accountability, encouraging individuals to report concerns without the risk of retaliation, intimidation, or harassment. This ensures that all business practices and employee actions align with the Company’s values of honesty, fairness, and professional integrity.
This policy is an essential element of the Company’s governance framework and reflects its zero-tolerance stance toward misconduct. Details of the Vigil Mechanism and procedures for reporting concerns are outlined in the Corporate Governance Report, and the full policy is available on the Company’s website at: http://www.megasoft.com/corporate-governance.html”

Share Transfer System and other related matters
i) Share transfers
As the transfer of shares held in physical form has been barred by SEBI, the Company has not processed any share transfer requests and consequently there arose no necessity for entry in the memorandum of transfers and issue of share certificate(s) thereof during the said period.
ii) Nomination facility for shareholding
As per the provisions of the Companies Act 2013, facility for making nomination is available for shareholders in respect of shares held by them. Those shareholders who hold shares in physical form may obtain nomination forms from the company.

The Company was not required to transfer any sums to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) established by the Central Government during the financial year.

Shareholders are requested to kindly co-operate and submit the necessary documents / evidence while sending the letters for change of address. Shareholders who hold shares in dematerialised form should correspond with the Depository Participant with whom they have opened Demat Account/s.

Global defence spending has risen sharply in 2024, due to rising geopolitical tensions and faster rearmament programs; that rise is supporting broad demand across air-defence, missiles, naval platforms and sensors. There has been a notable jump in world military expenditure in 2024, underlining stronger budgets for procurement and modernization worldwide.
Looking into 2025, market signals point to continued growth in several specialist areas. Demand for airdefence missiles and associated radars is materially up as countries replenish stocks and expand layered air-defence systems - producers are ramping up output but supply pressure remains tight. At the same time, the counter-UAS / anti-drone market and radar sensor markets are forecast to grow rapidly, driven by widespread adoption of detection and mitigation systems for airports, critical infrastructure and military bases. Naval capabilities - including submarine combat systems and associated weapons such as torpedoes - are also areas of accelerating investment as nations expand their naval deterrence.
Major defence companies are publicly signalling stronger defence demand and are increasing investment and production capacity. This industry behaviour confirms not only to a market environment of robust opportunity but also of intense competition and supply-chain challenges. Your Company sees a strong opportunity in this environment to leverage its capabilities, expand its presence, and deliver innovative solutions to meet growing defence needs.

Focus areas:
-
Missiles & Air-Defence Systems: There is strong demand to rebuild inventories and strengthen layered defence systems (including interceptors and SAMs). While production is ramping up worldwide, supply chains may pose a challenge to the growing demand.
-
Anti-Drone / Counter-UAS: The market is expanding rapidly due to asymmetric threats targeting airports, public gatherings, and military installations. Key growth areas include advanced detection, mitigation and neutralisation measures.
-
Submarines & Torpedoes (Sea-Based Systems): Countries are upgrading their navies and focusing more on undersea defence, which is leading to an increase in spending on submarine systems, sensors and advancement in torpedoes.
-
Radar & Sensors: Demand is rising for long-range air surveillance systems, integrated air-defence networks, and counter-UAS sensor suites. Market projections indicate sustained multi-year growth in the radar sector as militaries and critical infrastructure operators enhance their detection capabilities.
-
Technology & Integration (EW, C2, AI) : Companies are investing into electronic warfare, integrated command & control and AI-powered sensor systems. This is driving demand for software, secure communication and cybersecurity.
The defence industry is expected to keep growing as countries spend more on security, upgrade old equipment, and invest in new technologies. Research and development are the backbone of this growth, driving advances in AI, sensors, drones, robotics, and modern weapons. Governments are also focusing on indigenisation of defence equipment and working with private industry players to speed up innovation. This creates a big opportunity for companies that can bring smart, flexible, and advanced solutions to meet changing security needs.
(4) Business Strategy and Focus for 2025-26
Your company’s business strategy is focused on becoming a global player in the defence sector by combining in-house expertise with the strengths of carefully selected merger and acquisitions. Recognising the vast opportunities in this industry, the company is actively exploring merger and acquisition opportunities in the US and UK — two of the most advanced defence markets in the world. These acquisitions bring not only cutting-edge technologies and products but also establish customer networks, enabling the company to quickly scale its presence and enhance its competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.
To ensure the right strategic fit, the company is working hard to identify potential partners that share its vision, values, and commitment to innovation. We have engaged highly capable resources - including industry veterans, defence specialists, and experienced advisors who are dedicated to mapping the global market, conducting thorough due diligence, and identifying companies whose capabilities align with our growth plans. This careful approach ensures that each acquisition delivers clear synergies in technology, market access, and operational efficiency.
By integrating the knowledge and expertise of acquired companies with our own, we are strengthening our ability to deliver advanced solutions such as anti-drone systems, airspace protection technologies, and highvalue defence components. These capabilities enable us to serve Defence Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), the Tri-Services, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Para-Military forces, and global defence organisations. Aligned with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the company is also investing in the indigenisation of
Annual Report 2024-25
46
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
defence products, reducing dependence on imports and enhancing national self-reliance. At the same time, our intended presence in the US and UK will give us access to global opportunities, helping position the company as a trusted partner for defence requirements worldwide. Company aims to establish itself in the manufacturing of specific systems and subsystems for the Aerospace and Defence Sectors; namely in (a) Precision machining of the most demanding metals and super alloys (b) Metal surface treatments, specialising in treating small and large complex components (c) Machining and fine grinding (d) Advanced precision fabrications (e) Assembly, CNC machining and manufacture of complex parts.
The company is actively progressing on significant projects aimed at enhancing our capabilities in advanced defence technologies. These projects will enable your company to meet the evolving needs of armed forces and security agencies, with a focus on precision, reliability, and adaptability. Your company is working to ensure that these systems are not only technologically advanced but also compliant with the highest quality and operational standards. Once operational, ongoing projects are expected to strengthen our product portfolio, open new market opportunities, and reinforce our position as a trusted solutions provider in the defence sector.
This multi-dimensional strategy built on merger & acquisitions, innovation, manufacturing strength and strategic market access is designed to deliver sustained growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation. By bringing together the right companies, the right people, and the right vision, the company is firmly on its path to becoming a recognised global player in defence technology.
(5) Risks and Concerns
Below are the possible risk and probable mitigation actions.
-
Market Penetration Risk
-
As we explore new geographies (like US or UK) or grow domestic market share, there could be challenges due to high competition, local regulations, or lack of brand recognition. As a measure there is a need to work towards building partnership with established local players and leverage acquired company’s network.
-
Acquisition Integration Risk
-
One of the risks is the difficulty in integrating newly acquired companies into existing operations, leading to cultural misalignment, operational inefficiencies, or delays in synergy realization. However, this can be mitigated by conducting pre-acquisition financial, operational due diligence and establish integration teams, and set clear timelines and KPIs for post-merger alignment.
-
Foreign Exchange & Remittance Compliance Risk
-
There could be delays in compliance due to dynamic foreign remittance regulations and exchange rate fluctuations. Engaging experienced legal and compliance advisors, using forward contracts and hedging could help to manage currency volatility
-
Revenue Concentration & Contract Risk
-
Heavy dependence on a few large defence contracts may expose the company to high revenue volatility if orders are delayed or cancelled. To mitigate the risk there is a need to diversify the client base (domestic and international), pursue long-term service/maintenance contracts, and maintain a healthy order pipeline.
Annual Report 2024-25
47
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
-
Regulatory & Government Approval Risk
-
There could be unanticipated delays in obtaining mandatory government approvals, defence clearances, or export licenses. By maintaining active liaison with regulatory authorities, engaging consultants with domain expertise, and preparing complete documentation well in advance would enable smoother and faster approvals
-
Supply Chain & Manufacturing Disruption Risk Shortage of critical components, raw materials, or manufacturing delays impacting delivery timelines could be the probable risk. To mitigate the risk there is a need to develop multiple suppliers, maintain stock of critical parts and evaluate option of investing in in-house manufacturing capabilities of key components
-
Technological Relevance and Future-Proofing
-
Rapid advancements in defence technology and evolving security threats can make existing systems or solutions outdated. If the company’s products or capabilities fail to keep pace with industry innovation, it may lose competitiveness and market share. Continuously investing in R&D, collaborating with technology partners, and tracking global defence technology trends will support in being relevant also engaging in joint ventures or acquisitions to gain access to advanced capabilities. Regularly upgrading product offerings to align with changing customer requirements and emerging security challenges will go a long way in mitigating the risk associated.
(6) Internal Controls
Operating in the highly sensitive and regulated defence sector, robust internal control systems are essential to maintaining operational integrity, compliance, and stakeholder confidence. We believe that strong internal controls are essential for the smooth and secure functioning of any organization. These controls include processes, policies, and procedures that help protect the company’s resources from risks and threats. They ensure that transactions are approved properly, recorded accurately, and carried out in line with company policies. This reduces the chances of mistakes, fraud, or incorrect financial reporting. At the same time, it builds transparency and accountability across the organization.
Our internal control framework is designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and accountability across all business processes, with a strong focus on risk mitigation and adherence to statutory, contractual, and security requirements.
A key part of this system is the role of the Audit Committee. Working closely with the Internal Auditor, the Audit Committee regularly reviews the company’s internal controls. These reviews take place at fixed intervals and are aimed at checking whether the controls are effective. If any weakness or gap is found, the Audit Committee recommends corrective action to fix it. This process shows the company’s commitment to maintaining effective controls and following best practices. It also gives assurance to stakeholders that the control systems are in place and working as intended.
The company also carries out regular risk assessments for both existing processes and any new workflows introduced. This proactive approach helps identify risks early so that preventive measures can be taken before issues arise. By constantly reviewing and updating its risk management strategies, the company stays prepared for changing business needs and external factors.
Another important element of our internal control framework is the company’s “cash and caution” policy. This policy focuses on careful financial management by controlling costs, avoiding unnecessary debt, and
Annual Report 2024-25
48
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
prioritizing debt repayment. The idea is to ensure the company operates within its means, maintains healthy cash flows, and remains financially stable. This approach helps safeguard financial resources and ensures that funds are used efficiently and for the right purposes.
Together, these measures – strong policies and processes, regular reviews by the Audit Committee, ongoing risk assessments, and a cautious financial management approach – create a secure and reliable control environment. They not only protect the company’s assets but also build trust, integrity, and transparency. With these systems in place, the company is well-positioned to achieve its goals and ensure long-term growth and stability.

5. Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board’s report, including Annexure to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information but does not include the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditor’s Report.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the remaining other information, which we will obtain after the date of auditor’s report and if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
6. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements in terms of the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013, that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted
Annual Report 2024-25
63
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. 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 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 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 statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements, 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 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 are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process of the Group.
7. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements 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 Ind AS 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 Consolidated Ind AS 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)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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
Annual Report 2024-25
64
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Ind AS 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 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, 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 statements 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 statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.
8. Other Matters
The consolidated annual financial results include the audited financial results of One subsidiary, whose March 2025 and total revenues of Rs.27.84 financial statements reflect total Assets of Rs.55.31 lakhs at 31[st] lakhs, total after tax net loss of Rs. 2.78 Lakhs and total comprehensive loss of Rs.2.78 Lakhs for the year ended 31[st] March 2025, and net cash flows of (Rs. 6.32 Lakhs) for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated annual financial results, which have been audited by their respective independent auditors.

ANNEXURE – A TO THE AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS UNDER CLAUSE (I) OF SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (“THE ACT”) In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended[31] st March, 2025, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Megasoft Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”) and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the of the Holding company and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on, “the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)”. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial control system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Annual Report 2024-25

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2025, based on “the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India”.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting insofar as it relates to subsidiary, which is a company incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India.

==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
a. Revenue Recognition
Revenue from software development on time and material basis is recognized based on software developed and billed to clients as per the terms of specific contracts. In the case of fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the milestones achieved as specified in the contracts or on the percentage of completion basis. Provision for estimated losses on incomplete contract is recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current estimates. Revenue from product licenses and related revenue are recognized as follows:
-
License fees, on delivery and subsequent milestone schedule as per the terms of the contract with the end use
-
Product maintenance revenues, over the period of the maintenance contracts
b. Property, Plant and Equipment
i. Initial and Subsequent Recognition:
All items of Property, Plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at Historical cost, which includes capitalised borrowing cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
Items of spare parts, standby equipment and servicing equipment which meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are capitalised. Other spare parts are carried as inventory and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on consumption.
Where the cost of depreciable assets has undergone a change during the year due to increase/ decrease in long term liabilities on account of exchange fluctuation price adjustment, change in duties or similar factors, and the unamortized balance of such asset is charged off prospectively over the remaining useful life determined following the applicable accounting policies relating to depreciation/ amortization.
On transition to IND AS, the company has elected to adopt the cost model i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation for all of its Property, Plant and Equipment as at 1st April, 2016. Except for land which has been revalued to reflect the fair value.
The Property, Plant and equipment of the Company are physically verified in a phased manner to cover all the items of PPE over a period of three years, which in the Management’s opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalized when the assets are ready for their intended use and when occupancy certificate is received in respect of immovable properties.
ii. Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight – line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Depreciation on additions to/ deductions from property, plant and equipment during the year is charged on pro – rata basis from/ up to the month in which the asset is available for use/ disposed.
iii. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
On transition to IND AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its intangible assets recognised as at 1st April, 2016, measured at previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.
Annual Report 2024-25
79
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Software which is not an integral part of related hardware, is treated as intangible asset and amortised over a period five years or its license period, whichever is less.

iv. Capital work – in – progress:
The cost of self – constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and borrowing costs.
Expenses directly attributable to construction of property, plant and equipment incurred till they are ready for their intended use are identified and allocated on a systematic basis of the cost of related assets.
Unsettled liabilities for price variation/exchange rate variation in case of contracts are accounted for on estimated basis as per terms of the contracts.
v. Leases:
The company’s lease assets primarily comprise of buildings. The company assesses whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
-
i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
-
ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
-
iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
Transition

Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. Right of Use ( ROU ) assets have been recognized by the Company at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for previously recognized prepaid or accrued lease payments.
c. Cash Flow Statement

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all timing differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their reliability.
Deferred Tax expense is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) or Equity, in which case it is recognised in OCI or Equity.
f. Employee Benefits
Defined contribution plans: Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits.

Past service cost both vested and unvested is recognised as expenses at the earlier of (a) when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs: and (b) when the entity recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any assets resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.
g. Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in Indian Rupees, which is the functional currency for Megasoft Limited. The translation of the functional currencies into the reporting currency is performed for assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary company’s currency exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, for revenue, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods and for share capital, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. The resultant translation exchange gain/loss has been disclosed as “Foreign Currency Translation Reserve” under “Reserve & Surplus”.
All income and expenditure transactions of the foreign branch during the year are included in these accounts at the average rate of exchange. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Depreciation is translated at the rates used for the transaction of the values of the assets on which depreciation is computed. Net gain/loss on foreign currency translation is recognized in the profit & loss Account.
In case of forward exchange contract or any other financial instruments that is in substance a forward exchange contract to hedge the foreign currency risk which is on account of firm commitment and / or is a highly probable forecast transaction, the premium or discount arising at the inception of the contract is amortized as expenses or income over the life of the contract.

81
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Gain / Losses on settlement of transaction arising on cancelled or renewal of such a forward exchange contract are recognized as income or expenses for the period. In all other cases the gain or loss on contract is computed by multiplying the foreign currency amount of the forward exchange contract by the difference between the forward rate available at the reporting date for the remaining maturity of the contract and the contracted forward rate (or the forward rate last used to measure a gain or loss on that contract for an earlier period) is recognized in the profit or loss account for the period.
h. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilized for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalization of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Borrowing costs include interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
i. Impairment of Non – Financial Assets
The carrying amount of Company’s Non – financial Assets are reviewed at each reported date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment ‘considering the provisions of IND AS 36 “Intangible Assets”.
Impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the assets or its Cash Generating Units (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in Profit and Loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are reduced from the carrying amounts of the assets of the CGU.
Non-Financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
j. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit/loss after tax attributable to the equity shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit/loss after tax attributable to the equity shareholders of the company as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
k. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present values
Annual Report 2024-25
82
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligations at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Financial Statements and are disclosed in the Notes. A Contingent asset is neither recognized nor disclosed in the Financial Statements.
l. Business Combination
As part of the transition to IND AS, the company has decided to apply the IND AS 103, Business combinations, to only those business combinations that occurred on or after 1st April, 2015.
In respect of Business combinations, prior to 1st April, 2015, goodwill represents the amount recognised under the company’s previous accounting framework under Indian GAAP and the same is tested annually for impairment.
m. Financial Instruments
All Financial Assets and Liabilities are recognised and measured initially at fair value adjusted by transaction cost, except for those carried at fair value through Profit or Loss which are measured initially at fair value. For the purpose of subsequent measurement, Financial Assets are classified into following categories upon initial recognition:
-
Amortised cost
-
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
-
¾ Financial assets
Amortised Cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using effective interest rates if both of the following conditions are met:
-
a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that either do not meet the criteria for amortised cost classification or are equity instruments held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designed at FVTPL upon initial recognition. All derivative financial instruments also fall into this category. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit and loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Financial assets at FVOCI
FVOCI financial assets are either debt instruments that are managed under hold to collect and sell business model or are non – trading equity instruments that are designated to this category. FVOCI financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, except for

83
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
interest and dividend income and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
- ¾ Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at Book value and in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of attributable transaction costs (example: Upfront processing fees).
The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loan and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at FVTPL, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All derivate financial instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.

| Delta Efect of -1% Change in Rate of Employee Turnover | (0.03) | 0.20 |
The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the Defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the Defined benefit obligation as recognized in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

C. Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of volatility of prices in the financial markets. Market risk can be further segregated as:
i) Foreign currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has exposure foreign currency risk in case of Trade and other payables.
ii) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During March 31, 2022 the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in Rupees. The Company’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS -107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the remaining other information, which we will obtain after the date of auditor’s report and if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

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 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, management is 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 management 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.
7. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Annual Report 2024-25

==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements 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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
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 Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

ANNEXURE - B TO THE AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS UNDER CLAUSE (I) OF SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (“THE ACT”)
[Referred to in Para 8(II)(f) of our report of even date]
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Megasoft Limited (“the Company”) as of 31st March, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial control system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Annual Report 2024-25

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialize.
Note 1B: Material accounting policies
A Summary of significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of Financial Statements is given below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in the Financial Statements.
a. Revenue Recognition

125
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
recognized based on the milestones achieved as specified in the contracts or on the percentage of completion basis. Provision for estimated losses on incomplete contract is recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current estimates. Revenue from product licenses and related revenue are recognized as follows:
-
License fees, on delivery and subsequent milestone schedule as per the terms of the contract with the end use
-
Product maintenance revenues, over the period of the maintenance contract
b. Property, Plant and Equipment
i) Initial and Subsequent Recognition:
All items of Property, Plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at Historical cost, which includes capitalised borrowing cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
Items of spare parts, standby equipment and servicing equipment which meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are capitalised. Other spare parts are carried as inventory and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on consumption.
Where the cost of depreciable assets has undergone a change during the year due to increase/ decrease in long term liabilities on account of exchange fluctuation price adjustment, change in duties or similar factors, and the unamortized balance of such asset is charged off prospectively over the remaining useful life determined following the applicable accounting policies relating to depreciation/ amortization.
On transition to IND AS, the company has elected to adopt the cost model i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation for all of its Property, Plant and Equipment as at 1st April, 2016. Except for land which has been revalued to reflect the fair value.
The Property, Plant and equipment of the Company are physically verified in a phased manner to cover all the items of PPE over a period of three years, which in the Management’s opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalized when the assets are ready for their intended use and when occupancy certificate is received in respect of immovable properties.
ii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight – line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Depreciation on additions to/ deductions from property, plant and equipment during the year is charged on pro – rata basis from/ up to the month in which the asset is available for use/ disposed.
iii) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
On transition to IND AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its intangible assets recognised as at 1st April, 2016, measured at previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.
Software which is not an integral part of related hardware, is treated as intangible asset and amortised over a period five years or its license period, whichever is less.

v) Leases:
The company’s lease assets primarily comprise of buildings. The company assesses whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract.

Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. Right of Use (ROU) assets have been recognized by the Company at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for previously recognized prepaid or accrued lease payments.
c. Cash Flow Statement

i. Impairment of Non–Financial Assets
The carrying amount of Company’s Non – financial Assets are reviewed at each reported date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment ‘considering the provisions of IND AS 36 “Intangible Assets”.
Impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the assets or its Cash Generating Units (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in Profit and Loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are reduced from the carrying amounts of the assets of the CGU.
Non-Financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
j. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit/loss after tax attributable to the equity shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit/loss after tax attributable to the equity shareholders of the company as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
k. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present values and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligations at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Financial Statements and are disclosed in the Notes. A Contingent asset is neither recognized nor disclosed in the Financial Statements.
l. Business Combination
As part of the transition to IND AS, the company has decided to apply the IND AS 103, Business combinations, to only those business combinations that occurred on or after 1st April, 2015.

Annual Report 2024-25
129
==> picture [33 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Amortised cost
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
¾ Financial assets
Amortised Cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using effective interest rates if both of the following conditions are met:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that either do not meet the criteria for amortised cost classification or are equity instruments held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designed at FVTPL upon initial recognition. All derivative financial instruments also fall into this category. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit and loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Financial assets at FVOCI
FVOCI financial assets are either debt instruments that are managed under hold to collect and sell business model or are non – trading equity instruments that are designated to this category. FVOCI financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, except for interest and dividend income and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
¾ Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at Book value and in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of attributable transaction costs (example: Upfront processing fees).
The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loan and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at FVTPL, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All derivate financial instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognized in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

Trade Receivable
