TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

SONATA SOFTWARE LIMITED

  • $\mathbf{1}$ . We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of SONATA SOFTWARE LIMITED ("the Company"), for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
  • $2.$ This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
  • $3.$ We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company's personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
    1. Based on our review conducted as stated in paragraph 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Speaking on the results Mr. Srikar Reddy, Managing Director & CEO of the Company said:

Our overall strategy of building digital enterprises by creating platforms through our unique PlatformationTM methodology has proven more relevant in the current context with greater reliance and investments by enterprises in digitization and automation. Our investments to create a stronger organization in the quality of clients, relationships, and internal investments, in creating world class competencies aligned to PlatformationTM across platform engineering, cloud transformation, data analytics and Microsoft Dynamics, have created the required market impact. We see the demand situation being extremely satisfactory with growth in existing accounts and new deal pipeline. In view of super high demand for talent, we have a comprehensive talent plan in place for digital focussed skills, for talent retention, creating talent in advance and expanding our delivery centres with near shore delivery centres for US and Europe. Our acquisition of Encore is promising as it gives us access to fast the growing health care provider segment and expanding our cloud footprint apart from a new delivery location in Chennai.

With continued clear visibility and business opportunity, we stay focused now on investing for long term growth, in talent acquisition and transformation, IP and competency development.
