Limited Review Report on unaudited standalone financial results of Sonata Software Limited for the quarter ended 30 September 2022 and year-to-date results for the period from 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2022 pursuant to Regulation 33 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015

To the Board of Directors of Sonata Software Limited

    1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of unaudited standalone financial results of Sonata Software Limited ("the Company") for the quarter ended 30 September 2022 and year-to-date results for the period from 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2022 ("the Statement").
    1. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
    1. 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. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
    1. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and other recognised accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

    1. The Statement includes the results of the subsidiaries as disclosed in Annexure I to the Statement.
    1. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed 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 Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
    1. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2022 have been audited by the predecessor auditor whose report dated 29 April 2022 had expressed an unmodified opinion. The financial information of the Group for the corresponding quarter ended 30 September 2021 and the corresponding period from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2021 has been reviewed by the predecessor auditor whose report dated 19 October 2021 had expressed an unmodified opinion.
