Company's performance

During the year under review the overall performance of your Company has shown negative growth rate due to lock down imposed for sevetral months as a result of impact of Covid-19. The turnover of the company has come down by 56.43% as compared to the previous year. Sincere efforts taken by the marketing team together with the sustained marketing strategy evolved by the company yielded sufficient growth with better prospects in the years to come.Your Company had maintained good relationship with all its Customers in US & Europe and has seen good improvement in capturing business from one of the big Customers in the US. It is expected to improve production orders in FY 2021-22. The outlook for FY 2021-22 is good and SPEL has plans to induct new Customers from Europe & US regions.

2. Dividend

Due to insufficiency of profits during the year under review, dividend could not be paid during the year.

The Global Semiconductor Industry:

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales were $40.0 billion for the month of January 2021, an increase of 13.2% over the January 2020 total of $35.3 billion and 1.0% more than the December 2020 total of $39.6 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents 98% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms. Global semiconductor sales got off to a strong start in 2021, increasing both year-to-year and month-tomonth in January . Global semiconductor production is on the rise to meet increasing demand and ease the ongoing chip shortage affecting the auto sector and others, and annual sales are projected to increase in 2021.

11

Regionally, year-to-year sales increased across all markets: Asia Pacific/All Other (16.0%), the Americas (15.4%), China (12.4%), Japan (9.6%), and Europe (6.4%). Month-to-month sales increased in China (3.4%), Europe (2.0% percent), and Asia Pacific/All Other (1.5%), but were down in Japan (-1.0%) and the Americas (- 3.0%).

A. Market Drivers

Despite the global pandemic and resulting economic downturn, the global semiconductor industry remained resilient with revenue growth of 6.5% to reach the $440bn mark in 2020.As per the 2021 Global Semiconductor Industry Outlook, the logic and memory chips segments were among the fastest growing with over 10% growth reported from each of these sub-categories in 2020.

A significant growth area for semiconductors over the coming decade is likely to be the Internet of Things (IoT), whereby devices are embedded with sensors and software and connect to each other over the internet.

The potential applications are enormous. Smart factories are a key example, enabling a shop floor to be monitored remotely. Everything from a machine’s energy usage to its downtime can be monitored, as can warehouses and inventories, helping to improve efficiency, free up capacity and reduce costs.

Another example is connected homes, allowing lighting and appliances to be controlled from a phone or tablet. IoT devices could also be used to improve security, enabling remote monitoring of any open windows, leaks or smoke. According to Statista, the number of IoT connected devices is forecast to rise from 7.74 billion in 2020 to 25.44 billion in 2030

B. Semiconductor Mergers:

Five big acquisition announcements and more than a dozen smaller deals in 2020 pushed the total value of M&A agreements in the year to an all-time high of $118.0 billion, surpassing the previous record of $107.7 billion reached in 2015 The five biggest 2020 M&A agreements—announced in July, September, and October—had a combined value of $94.0 billion, which represented about 80% of the total for the entire year.

The 2H20 wave of huge acquisition agreements began in July when Analog Devices announced it would buy Maxim Integrated Products for $21 billion in stock. Analog Devices expects the purchase to be completed by the summer of 2021 and believes the acquisition will boost its market share in analog and mixed-signal ICs for automotive systems (especially in autonomous vehicles), power management, and application-specific IC designs. Before the Maxim purchase was announced, semiconductor acquisition agreements in the first six months of 2020 had a combined value of just $2.1 billion. The M&A total was only $352 million in 2Q20, when the initial surge of Covid-19 virus crisis was sinking the entire global economy.

After a handful of other smaller acquisition agreements in July and August of 2020, graphics processor leader Nvidia blew the M&A lid off the coronavirus-plagued year when it announced a $40 billion megadeal in September to buy processor-design technology supplier ARM in the U.K. from holding company SoftBank in Japan. For more than a decade, ARM has licensed nearly all of the central processor technology used in smartphones, and it is expanding its into many other applications—just like Nvidia—including data center systems, automotive automation, robotics, and acceleration of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). The prospects of Nvidia owning ARM, its design cores, instruction sets, and microarchitectures has raised concerns among major SoC processor developing companies, which license the technology—including Qualcomm, Samsung, MediaTek, and Apple. To quell concerns, Nvidia immediately promised to maintain ARM’s independence in terms of licensing its intellectual property (IP) to other IC suppliers and systems makers. The acquisition is expected to be completed by March 2022, but must win clearance from regulatory agencies in the U.S., U.K., European Union, South Korea, Japan, and China.

Four weeks after Nvidia announced the largest semiconductor acquisition in history, more large M&A agreements were announced in October 2020. It started with Intel announcing the sale of its NAND flash

12

memory business and 300mm wafer fab in China to SK Hynix in South Korea for $9 billion. In the last week of October 2020, Advanced Micro Device announced an agreement to buy programmable logic leader Xilinx for about $35 billion in stock. This deal is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Also at the end of October, Marvell Technology announced it would acquire high-speed interconnect and mixed-signal IC supplier Inphi in Silicon Valley for $10 billion in stock and cash. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2021.

It is important to note that IC Insights’ M&A list covers purchase agreements for semiconductor companies, business units, product lines, chip intellectual property (IP), and wafer fabs, but it excludes acquisitions of software and system-level businesses by IC companies. For instance, the M&A list excludes Intel’s $900 million acquisition of mobile-application software supplier Moovit in Israel in May 2020. Moovit’s urban mobility software apps will be used by Intel to increase its capability to automate ground travel and planning with Internet connections, but the Israeli startup is not a semiconductor company. IC Insights’ acquisition list also excludes transactions between semiconductor capital equipment suppliers, material producers, chip packaging and testing companies, and design-automation software firms.

As in recent years, semiconductor acquisitions in 2020 were driven by large IC companies looking to sharpen their positions in emerging and high-growth market opportunities, such as embedded machine-learning and AI capabilities, self-driving cars, all-electric vehicles, expansion of data centers for cloud-computing services and proliferation of the sensors and systems connected to Internet of Things. Industry consolidation also continued to play a key role in many of the 2020 acquisition agreements.

The top-five acquisition agreements in 2020 were among the largest of the 51 semiconductor M&A deals made over the past 21 years that were valued at $1.0 billion or more. Three of the 2020 agreements rank in the top five with No. 1 being Nvidia’s $40 billion bid for ARM, No. 3 being AMD’s planned $35 billion purchase of Xilinx, and No. 5 being Analog Devices’ move to buy Maxim for $21 billion. More than half of the top 51 semiconductor industry acquisition agreements—32 of them—have occurred in the past six years (2015-2020).

C. Outsourced Assembly and Test (OSAT) Industry

A global semiconductor shortage and increased demand for microchips are likely to boost the cash flows from operations for foundries and outsource assembly and testing (OSAT) companies in 2021 as per the Fitch Ratings. Foundries like TSMC and Samsung are likely to be the key beneficiaries of the robust 2021 chip demand as they will enjoy strong pricing power. TSMC with its market share of over 50% in the foundry industry is likely to see revenue growth of 10-15% in 2020-25. Additionally, the revenue growth for the OSAT companies is likely to see substantial growth in 2021 as higher chip demand will boost the need for assembly and testing services .The chip shortage could also lead to a cyclical uptrend for larger IDMs and fabless companies like Intel (INTC), Texas Instrument (TXN), Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

D. The Indian Semiconductor Industry

The Indian semiconductor industry offers high growth potential areas as the industries which source semiconductors as inputs are themselves witnessing high demand. The end-use industries such as mobile devices, telecommunication equipment, information technology, office automation (IT & OA), industrial machinery, automobiles and several other industries have applications for computing in some form or other and thereby necessarily have growing demand for semiconductors. Now with the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) picking up momentum, the next generation of interconnected devices would further increase the demand for intelligent computing, thereby creating sustainable demand for semiconductors.

India has a very fast growing electronics system design manufacturing (ESDM) industry. India also has a strong design base with more than 120 units. According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), nearly 2,000 chips are being designed every year in India and more than 20,000 engineers are working on various aspects of chip design and verification. The government has a strong focus in developing the ESDM ecosystem in India. Several subsidies and other incentives are on offer for setting up

13

electronics manufacturing units in India.

Business Ethics : defines us as a Company

Professionalism : defines us as Individuals

Citizenship : defines our contribution to Society

SPEL's medium for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is through Socio-Economic Contribution (S-E-C) and SPEL Employees Social Service Organization (SESSO). For most people, the idea of Social Service is donating money to a social organization - perhaps an old-age home or an orphanage or similar. This however is the easy part. The difficult part is volunteering one's time to improve society.

When can we make a contribution to Society?

During Phase 1 of our lifetime, perhaps up to the age of 35, we are so focused on building our careers, starting our families & establishing a name for ourselves

During Phase 2 perhaps from age of 35 thru 65, we are the most active in our work, working as a team, being able to significantly contribute to Economic Development

During Phase 3 perhaps from age 65 onwards, we are most able to contribute our time on an increased basis to social causes S-E-C at SPEL is all about how we can contribute socially during Phase 2 itself while also handling Economic Development. Towards this, there are 3 areas that each of us can assist by making these a part of our day to day approach:

  1. Following discipline in any and everything we do

  2. Providing a helping hand to people around us in any way we possibly can

  3. Showing the right path forward to people around us

S-E-C in SPEL is primarily done by One-to-One Mentoring as each person encourages & motivates the other, towards a more purposeful & effective lifestyle.

As part of the core values, following activities were undertaken through SESSO :

  • i) Educational assistance to the needy people in and around Factory.

Management Discussion and Analysis Report:

The management of your company is pleased to submit the following:

The Global Semiconductor Industry:

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales were $40.0 billion for the month of January 2021, an increase of 13.2% over the January 2020 total of $35.3 billion and 1.0% more than the December 2020 total of $39.6 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents 98% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms. Global semiconductor sales got off to a strong start in 2021, increasing both year-to-year and month-tomonth in January . Global semiconductor production is on the rise to meet increasing demand and ease the ongoing chip shortage affecting the auto sector and others, and annual sales are projected to increase in 2021.

Regionally, year-to-year sales increased across all markets: Asia Pacific/All Other (16.0%), the Americas (15.4%), China (12.4%), Japan (9.6%), and Europe (6.4%). Month-to-month sales increased in China (3.4%), Europe (2.0% percent), and Asia Pacific/All Other (1.5%), but were down in Japan (-1.0%) and the Americas (- 3.0%).

E. Market Drivers

Despite the global pandemic and resulting economic downturn, the global semiconductor industry remained resilient with revenue growth of 6.5% to reach the $440bn mark in 2020.As per the 2021 Global Semiconductor Industry Outlook, the logic and memory chips segments were among the fastest growing with over 10% growth reported from each of these sub-categories in 2020.

A significant growth area for semiconductors over the coming decade is likely to be the Internet of Things (IoT), whereby devices are embedded with sensors and software and connect to each other over the internet.

The potential applications are enormous. Smart factories are a key example, enabling a shop floor to be monitored remotely.

Another example is connected homes, allowing lighting and appliances to be controlled from a phone or tablet. IoT devices could also be used to improve security, enabling remote monitoring of any open windows, leaks or smoke. According to Statista, the number of IoT connected devices is forecast to rise from 7.74 billion in 2020 to 25.44 billion in 2030

F. Semiconductor Mergers:

Five big acquisition announcements and more than a dozen smaller deals in 2020 pushed the total value of M&A agreements in the year to an all-time high of $118.0 billion, surpassing the previous record of $107.7 billion reached in 2015 The five biggest 2020 M&A agreements—announced in July, September, and October—had a combined value of $94.0 billion, which represented about 80% of the total for the entire year.

It is important to note that IC Insights’ M&A list covers purchase agreements for semiconductor companies, business units, product lines, chip intellectual property (IP), and wafer fabs, but it excludes acquisitions of software and system-level businesses by IC companies. For instance, the M&A list excludes Intel’s $900 million acquisition of mobile-application software supplier Moovit in Israel in May 2020. Moovit’s urban mobility software apps will be used by Intel to increase its capability to automate ground travel and planning with Internet connections, but the Israeli startup is not a semiconductor company. IC Insights’ acquisition list also excludes transactions between semiconductor capital equipment suppliers, material producers, chip packaging and testing companies, and design-automation software firms.

As in recent years, semiconductor acquisitions in 2020 were driven by large IC companies looking to sharpen their positions in emerging and high-growth market opportunities, such as embedded machine-learning and AI capabilities, self-driving cars, all-electric vehicles, expansion of data centers for cloud-computing services and proliferation of the sensors and systems connected to Internet of Things. Industry consolidation also continued to play a key role in many of the 2020 acquisition agreements.

The top-five acquisition agreements in 2020 were among the largest of the 51 semiconductor M&A deals made over the past 21 years that were valued at $1.0 billion or more. Three of the 2020 agreements rank in the top five with No. 1 being Nvidia’s $40 billion bid for ARM, No. 3 being AMD’s planned $35 billion purchase of Xilinx, and No. 5 being Analog Devices’ move to buy Maxim for $21 billion. More than half of the top 51 semiconductor industry acquisition agreements—32 of them—have occurred in the past six years (2015-2020).

G. Outsourced Assembly and Test (OSAT) Industry

A global semiconductor shortage and increased demand for microchips are likely to boost the cash flows from operations for foundries and outsource assembly and testing (OSAT) companies in 2021 as per the Fitch Ratings. Foundries like TSMC and Samsung are likely to be the key beneficiaries of the robust 2021 chip demand as they will enjoy strong pricing power. TSMC with its market share of over 50% in the foundry industry is likely to see revenue growth of 10-15% in 2020-25. Additionally, the revenue growth for the OSAT companies is likely to see substantial growth in 2021 as higher chip demand will boost the need for assembly

23

and testing services .The chip shortage could also lead to a cyclical uptrend for larger IDMs and fabless companies like Intel (INTC), Texas Instrument (TXN), Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

H. The Indian Semiconductor Industry

The Indian semiconductor industry offers high growth potential areas as the industries which source semiconductors as inputs are themselves witnessing high demand. The end-use industries such as mobile devices, telecommunication equipment, information technology, office automation (IT & OA), industrial machinery, automobiles and several other industries have applications for computing in some form or other and thereby necessarily have growing demand for semiconductors. Now with the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) picking up momentum, the next generation of interconnected devices would further increase the demand for intelligent computing, thereby creating sustainable demand for semiconductors.

India has a very fast growing electronics system design manufacturing (ESDM) industry. India also has a strong design base with more than 120 units. According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), nearly 2,000 chips are being designed every year in India and more than 20,000 engineers are working on various aspects of chip design and verification. The government has a strong focus in developing the ESDM ecosystem in India. Several subsidies and other incentives are on offer for setting up electronics manufacturing units in India.

SPEL Positioning

a The first quarter of 2021-22 got off to a strong start in , Global semiconductor production is on the rise to meet increasing demand and ease the ongoing chip shortage affecting the auto sector and others, and hence the annual sales are projected to increase in 2021-22. Longer lead-time with regard to the raw materials is a concern, as most of the supply chain is based in SEA countries which are facing intermittent lockdowns due to COVID.

b. SPEL maintains its relationship with all Customers in good form andputting efforts to meet their QCDS factors. SPEL extends various Value-Added Services like package design , Test HW development & drop shipment to all its Customers which help to attract additional volumes.

c. The communication frequency with Customers & Sales Representativesincreased and SPEL uses all electronic media (eMails, Conference calls, Skype calls, Whatsappcalls,MS teams, Google Meet etc.) to interact with Customers

d. Contribution of Sales Representatives is also ensured to bring in newbusiness & to reach Customers in case of any delay in shipments and unable to meet their requirements. They are advised to bring in new Customers & new products. Weekly calls with them is being done to ensure their activities are up to the expectations

e. SPEL reaches its Suppliers, Vendors and Customers to refer any newCustomers if they have come across and this has provided positive results. Few new Customer inducted through this methodology

f. Global demand for semiconductors will remain high in the coming quarters, as reflected by rising sales across a range of chip products and throughout each of the world's major regional markets. The global chip market is projected to grow substantially in 2021 and 2022 as semiconductors become increasingly integral to the game-changing technologies of today and the future . This will have a positive effect on SPEL's business.

g. Sales representatives are also advised to increase the frequency withthe Customers whom they are dealing.

h. New RFQs received from various Customers in this Quarter includingnew Customers. Quotations have been submitted and few of them converted into business and working on other RFQs to get business

24

i. Focus for FYQ2 would be in the following areas :

i. Adding new Customers – Planning to add new Customers both in Europe &US regions. Three new Customers identified and SPEL is closely working with them in Europe

ii. Maintaining Inventory – In the past, delayed material delivery wasone of the concerns for having lower volumes. SPEL ensures to have adequate inventory to address Customers FC in this quarter

Independent Auditor’s Report on the Abridged Financial Statements

To The Members of SPEL SEMICONDUCTOR LIMITED

The accompanying Abridged Financial Statements of SPEL SEMICONDUCTOR LIMITED (‘the Company’), which comprise the Abridged Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, the Abridged Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Abridged Statement of Cash Flows and the Abridged Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and related notes, are derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. I expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those financial statements vide. my report dated Aug 23,2021.

The Abridged financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by the Indian Accounting Standards(Ind AS) referred to in Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) and accounting principles generally accepted in India, applied in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company. Reading the Abridged Financial Statements, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited financial statements of the Company.

Management’s Responsibility for the Abridged Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of summary of the audited financial statements in accordance with first proviso to Section 136(1) read with Rule 10 of Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended) and are based on the audited financial statementsfor the year ended 31 March 2021, prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards referred to in Section 133 of the Act, and accounting principles generally accepted in India

Auditor’s Responsibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Abridged financial statements based on my procedures, which were conducted in accordance with Standard on Auditing (SA) 810, “Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Opinion

In my opinion, the Abridged Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with first proviso to section 136(1) of the act read with Rule 10 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014(as amended) are derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021 are a fair summary of those financial statements.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

I draw your attention to Note 12 to the Abridged Financial Statements of the Company. The Company has incurred losses and generated negative cash flows during the year and also in the earlier years which indicate existence of material uncertainty in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. In order to continue the Company is apparently dependent on the infused of sufficient funds and restructuring of operations. Based on the funds infused and business plans of the management, the Company is reasonably expected to carry on the operations as a going concern. On this basis the Company has prepared the financial statements on going concern basis. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

I draw attention to Note 11 to the Abridged Financial Statements relating to amounts written off/written back for the ended March 31, 2021 which were approved by a resolution passed by the Board of Directors.

I also draw your attention to Note 13to the Abridged Financial Statements which explains the uncertainties and the management’s assessment of the potential impact due to lock-downs and other restrictions and conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic situation and consequently the Company’s results are highly dependent upon future developments, which are highly uncertain.

41

My opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures and Shareholder’s Information but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

My opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The 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 of the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. 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 statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

46

In preparing the 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.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 my 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

  • 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 I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. I consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (I) planning the scope of my audit work and in evaluating the results of my work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

I 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.

I also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I 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 my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

47

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, I determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. I describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

  2. (a) I have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 ofSection 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

  1. I have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SPEL SEMICONDUCTOR LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with my audit of thefinancial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

  1. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financialcontrols based on the internal control over financial reporting criteriaestablished by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated inthe Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence tocompany’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds anderrors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation ofreliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

  1. My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls overfinancial reporting based on our audit. I conducted my audit in accordance withthe Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the“Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribedunder Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit ofinternal financial controls.Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that I 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.

  2. My audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. My 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

49

evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

  1. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to providea basis for my audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

  1. 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 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 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of standalone 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the Ind ASfinancial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

  1. 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

  1. In my opinion and to the best of my information and according to the explanations given to me the Company has maintained in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls of were operating effectively as of March31,2021 based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
