MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The Global Economy recovered strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by the release of pent-up demand as movement restrictions were scaled back, as well as huge amounts of fiscal and monetary support. China’s recent reopening has paved the way for a faster than expected recovery. But it is now being buffeted by two major shocks: high inflation and rising interest rates.

The IMF has projected that global growth will fall to 2.9 percent in 2023 but rise in 2024. Global inflation is expected to fall to 6.6 percent in 2023 and 4.3 percent in 2024, still above the pre-pandemic levels.

Labor markets are tight, household spending and business investment remain strong, and European economies proved quite resilient against the energy crisis. Global growth is expected to slow from 3.4% in 2022 to 2.9% in 2023. The slowdown will be more pronounced for advanced economies. China and India will account for 50% of global growth. (Source: IMF Global Economic Outlook)

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The IMF has forecast India’s growth at 6.1% in 2023 as compare to 6.8% in 2022, terming the country a bright spot and major engine of growth amid an expected fall in global growth. India is shifting toward greater renewable energy generation while striving to improve energy access, affordability, and security. It’s also poised to be one of the fastest growing economies in coming years, which will in turn sharply boost energy demand.

As per survey by Ministry of Finance, the economy is expected to grow at 7% for the year ending March, 2023. Despite the three shocks of COVID-19, Russian-Ukraine conflict and the Central Banks across economies led by Federal Reserve responding with synchronized policy rate hikes to curb inflation, leading to appreciation of US Dollar and the widening of the Current Account Deficits (CAD) in net importing economies, agencies worldwide continue to project India as the fastest-growing major economy at 6.5-7.0 percent in FY 23.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

While FY2022 was a year of milestones and resurgence-an outlier for the Indian technology industry, FY2023 has been the year of continued revenue growth with a focus on strengthening industry fundamentals and building on trust and competencies. The volatile global economic scenario and impending recession continues to support the demand for technology adoption and digital acceleration. Consequently, technology continues to be a strategic imperative that is a critical component of business innovation and transformation, as well as a source of improving operational and cost efficiencies.

OPPORTUNITIES

India, currently holding the prestigious Presidency of G20 nations, has grown from being the tenth largest economy ten years ago to the fifth largest today. India has been the fastest growing major economy for the third year in a row—poised for further growth, driven strongly by, among other factors, a robust and diverse technology ecosystem. Diverse and inclusive new-age skilled talent pool with strong entrepreneurial mindset people first innovation, responsible & ethical tech & governance built on trust, commitment to Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) goals, & Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), form the cornerstones of this vibrant ecosystem.

~~71~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

Cost competitiveness and efficiencies, stable and trusted Government consistently building a conducive business environment and infrastructure through reforms and policies, along with the largest and youngest working population and consumer market, makes the industry’s foundation even stronger.

India’s inherent leadership skills have ensured Indian origin leaders occupy a seat at the table in global organizations, fronting global charters across various verticals.

THREATS

Cybersecurity, IT governance, and data security will be the number one risk in 2023. Ransomware has been a significant threat in 2022, but the nature of cyberattacks is changing. Relatively new hackers now take advantage of sophisticated ransomware as an opportunity.

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting is in its infancy, but the requirements will be broader and all-encompassing. Therefore, a lack of preparedness could be a threat. Organizations should ensure governance structures to provide reliable information on ESG risks and opportunities. Define ESG disclosures and metrics and identify the data to be captured and curated to comply with local ESG regulations on time.

SEGMENT–WISE OR PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

  • (i) The Technical Division revenue increased (94.29%) to Rs.5,809.57 Lakhs in FY 2022-23 as against Rs.2,990.21 Lakhs in FY 2021-22.

  • (ii) The Projects Division revenue decreased (25.23%) to Rs.7,270.45 Lakhs in FY 2022-23 as against Rs.9,724.04 Lakhs in FY 2021-22.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The Company’s total revenue increased (19.66%) to Rs.15,595.96 Lakhs in FY 2022-23 as against Rs.13032.72 Lakhs in FY 2021-22 and Net Profit is Rs.236.94 Lakhs for FY 2022-23 as against Net Loss of Rs.130.15 Lakhs for FY 2021-22. Your Company has achieved this by reduction of Financial Costs. Post Covid period your company could recover the billed amounts and utilised in reduction of financial costs.

OUTLOOK

E-governance in India is progressively evolving from basic digitization of government data and processes to actually facilitating delivery of various citizen services online. A common vision and strategy are being deliberated and firmed up across all levels of government Central, State and local bodies. This approach has huge potential in garnering cost savings, increasing transparency, and presenting a seamless view of government to citizens.

RISKS AND CONCERNS

Human capital, diversity, and talent management is the second-highest business risk. The succession challenges and ability to recruit and retain top talent in the tightening market may limit the ability to achieve business goals. The pandemic has accelerated skills shortages with hard-to-fill gaps for crucial projects, such as digitalization – a process to alleviate such deficiencies in the future. Businesses must tackle wage inflation, skill shortages, and the need to offer better psychological support to staff. That entails retooling their organizational culture.

The company’s management is continuously making efforts to mitigate this risk. The Company has a structured approach for handling risks. The Company has adequate mitigation plans for the risks based on the probability of their occurrence, potential impact and volatility. The emerging risks are discussed periodically with the management to ensure implementation of proper control mechanism.

Explanation

a) Current Ratio

During the year, the company accounted for outstanding payables/creditors as credit balances written back, resulting in back-to-back liabilities for the bad debts that were written off. This approach caused a significant decrease in current liabilities when compared to the previous year. This resulted increase in Current Ratio.

b) Debt-Equity Ratio

During the year, the company made the decision to treat outstanding payables/creditors as credit balances written back, resulting in back-to-back liabilities along with the write-off of bad debts. Additionally, the company successfully cleared a short-term loan from others amounting to Rs. 1,306 Lakhs compared to the previous year. As a result, the total liabilities decreased by 50%, leading to a decrease in the debt equity ratio. This reduction in liabilities and improved debt equity ratio signify a positive financial outcome for the company.

c) Debtors Turnover Ratio

During the year, the company exercised prudence by writing off long-outstanding bad debts, aligning its financial position with sound accounting practices. The decision to write off these debts was necessary to accurately represent the company's financial standing. Consequently, the debtors turnover ratio experienced a decrease, indicating a slower pace of collecting outstanding receivables.

d) Interest Coverage Ratio

  • During the Year, the company had a lower Utilization of funds, resulting in a reduction in the interest component. As a result, the company’s Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) increased compared to the previous Year.

e) Operating Profit Margin Ratio

The Operating Profit Margin increased during the Year due to reduced expenses in subcontracting works, offsetting the drop in sales of services. This improvement can be attributed to the implementation of the operating Profit Method, emphasizing cost reduction and resulting in a higher Profit Margin.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF TERA SOFTWARE LIMITED Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of TERA SOFTWARE LIMITED (the “Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the (“standalone financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013(the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,2015, as amended, (“INDAS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023 and its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA” s) specified under section143 (10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Auditor’s Response
1. Recognition and Measurement of Bad Debts:
We have determined that the recognition and
measurement of bad debts constitute a key audit
matter in our audit of the fnancial statements of
Tera Software Limited, a listed software company.
Bad debts are considered signifcant due to their
potential impact on the company's revenue
recognition and fnancial performance. Our audit
response involved evaluating the adequacy of the
company's bad debt provision and assessing the
efectiveness of internal controls over the
estimation process.
Our audit procedure in respect of this area included:
Risk Assessment:We assessed the risk of material
misstatement in the recognition and measurement
of bad debts, considering the inherent complexities
in the software industry's revenue recognition and
the potential impact of economic factors on
customers' ability to pay.
Evaluation of Internal Controls:We evaluated
the design and implementation of internal controls
over the estimation of bad debts, including the
company's policies and procedures for assessing

credit risk, monitoring customer payments, and
determining appropriate provisions for doubtful
accounts.
Testing of Bad Debt Provision:We performed
substantive testing procedures to validate the
completeness and accuracy of the bad debt
provision. This included reviewing the ageing of
accounts receivable, analyzing historical collection
patterns, assessing the reasonableness of
assumptions used in the estimation process, and
comparing the provision to actual write-ofs.
Management Representations:We obtained written
representations from management regarding the
completeness and accuracy of information provided to
us concerning the bad debt provision, including details
on signifcant write-ofs during the period.
Our audit procedures provided us with sufcient
appropriate audit evidence to form an opinion on the
reasonableness of the bad debt provision and its
impact on the fnancial statements.
2 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities and
Evaluation of uncertain tax positions:
There are material claims against the company and
uncertain Tax/GST positions which are under
various stages of dispute, involving signifcant
judgment to determine the possible outcome of
these disputes.
We have obtained details of key claims against the
company, completed tax assessments and demands
and tax/duty positions.
We reviewed status of disputes and representation
taken from the management, discussed with
appropriate senior management and evaluated the
management’s underlying key assumptions.
We assessed management’s estimate of the possible
outcome of the disputed cases in evaluating
management’s position on these uncertain claims
and tax positions and assessed the appropriate
disclosures in the fnancials.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

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

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

~~86~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

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.

Management’s Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safe guarding 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial 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. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls 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 the 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

~~87~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are in adequate, 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.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 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 the 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 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 head verse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of M/s TERA SOFTWARE LIMITED (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2023 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 Management of the Company 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 (the “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 company’s policies, the safe guarding 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 Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company 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”) issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act,2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 controls 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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.

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on accrual basis as stated in the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets/liabilities.

c)

The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). The statement of cash flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash flows”. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards.

d) Operating cycle for current and non-current classification

Operating cycle for the business activities of the company covers the duration of the specific project/contract/product line/service including the defect liability period wherever applicable and extends up to the realization of receivables (including retention monies) within the agreed credit period normally applicable to the respective lines of business.

e) Revenue recognition

The company accounts and recognizes contract with a customer only when the following criteria are met:

  • (a) The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;

  • (b) The entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;

  • (c) The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;

  • (d) The contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and

  • (e) It is probable that the company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, the company considers only the customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.

The amount of consideration to which the company will be entitled may be less than the price stated in the contract if the consideration is variable because the entity may offer the customer a price concession.

At contract inception, the company shall assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and shall identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either:

a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or

a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

The company shall recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to the customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.

When a performance obligation is satisfied, the company shall recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. Determining the transaction price, the company shall consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

f) Exceptional Items

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.

g) Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

PPE is recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. PPE is stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment, if any. Property, plant and equipment acquired on hire purchase basis are recognized at their cash values. Cost includes professional fees related to the acquisition of PPE and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the company’s accounting policy.

~~107~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

PPE not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-inprogress”.

Depreciation is recognized using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation method is reviewed at each financial year end to reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful life and residual values are also reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.

Where cost of a part of the asset (“asset component”) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

h) Investment property

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16’s requirement for cost model. An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

i) Intangible assets

Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognized at cost.

Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets are amortized on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The method of amortization and useful life is being reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

j) Impairment of assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to

~~108~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

k) Employee Benefits

Short term employee benefits:

Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia and performance-linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Post-employment benefits:

Provident Fund

The company makes contribution to Provident Fund administered by the Central Government under The Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and recognizes the same as an expense in the profit and loss account.

Gratuity

For defined post-employment benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

l)

Leases

The determination of whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement at the date of inception.

(i) Finance leases

  • a) Leases where the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the related assets are classified as finance leases. Assets under finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

  • b) Assets given under a finance lease are recognized as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease income is recognized over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

~~109~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

(ii) Operating leases:

The leases which are not classified as finance lease are operating leases.

  • a) Lease rentals on assets under operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

  • b) Assets leased out under operating leases are continued to be shown under the respective class of assets. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

m) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes party to a contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction values and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from as the case may be, the fair value of such assets or liabilities, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Financial asset is

  1. Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,

  2. Contractual right to:

    • a) Receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or

    • b) Exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the Entity.

  3. A. All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at amortized cost or at fair value depending on the classification of the financial assets as follows:

  4. i) Investments in debt Instruments that are designated as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - at fair value.

  5. ii) Other investments in debt instruments – at amortized cost, subject to following conditions:

  6. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  7. The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

  8. (iii) Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (unless the same are designated as fair value through profit or loss)

  9. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  10. The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

~~110~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

  • iv) Investment in equity instruments issued by subsidiary, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less impairment.

  • v) Investment in preference shares of the subsidiary companies are treated as equity instruments if the same are convertible into equity shares or are redeemable out of the proceeds of equity instruments issued for the purpose of redemption of such investments. Investment in preference shares not meeting the aforesaid conditions are classified as debt instruments at FVTPL.

  • vi) Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the related instruments are not held for trading and the company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in Other Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets that are measured at FVTOCI, income by way of interest, dividend and exchange difference (on debt instrument) is recognized in profit or loss and changes in fair value (other than on account of such income) are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in other equity. On disposal of debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in other equity is reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, such cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of investments.

  • B.

  • A financial asset is primarily derecognized when:

  • i) The right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or

  • ii) The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a passthrough arrangement; and (a) the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the differences between the carrying amounts measured at the date of de-recognition and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss.

  • C. Impairment of financial assets: The Companyrecognizes impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss model, which involves use of a provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted under Ind AS 109.

Financial liabilities

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

  • a) Deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or

  • b) Exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that is potentially unfavorable to the Entity.

Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Financial guarantee contracts are subsequently measured at the amount of impairment loss allowance or the amount recognized at inception net of cumulative amortization, whichever is higher. All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.

Financial liability is derecognized when the related obligation expires or is discharged or cancelled.

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and

~~111~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value and such value may or may not be realized.

Fair value measurement

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • b) In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

n) Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:

  • a) Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of Cost and net realizable value. However, these items are considered to be realizable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

  • b) Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of Cost and net realizable value. Cost includes related overheads and GST paid/payable on such goods.

Assessment of net realizable value is made in each subsequent period and when the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the writedown, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original amount written-down so that the resultant carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value.

o) Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and other bank balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being subject to more than insignificant risk of change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

p) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventoried as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or

~~112~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

q) Foreign currencies

  • i) The functional currency and presentation currency of the company is Indian Rupee.

ii) Transactions in currencies other than the company’s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the exchange rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date at the closing spot rate are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

  • a) Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings; and

  • b) Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

r)

Taxes on income

Income tax expense represents sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax

Current Tax

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that in addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are

~~113~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

s) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the company. The changes in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in Technology.

t) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised only when:

  • the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

  • it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle

  • the obligation; and

  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those

Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.

u) Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities based on the available information. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the net profit for the effects of:

i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;

ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses, and undistributed profits of associates; and

iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.

Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

v) Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

w) Critical Accounting Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities affected in future periods. The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Depreciation/ amortization and Useful life of Property, Plant and equipment

The company reviews the estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation/amortization for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates. During the current year, there has been no change in life considered for the assets.

Recoverability of trade receivables

Judgments are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining

~~116~~

Annual Report 2022-23

Redefining IT Solutions

whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered to determine the provision include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.

Estimation of net realizable value of inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and Fair value. In estimating the net realizable value / Fair value of Inventories the Company makes an estimate of future selling prices and costs necessary to make the sale.

Provision for employee benefits

The Company uses actuarial assumptions to determine the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting period. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the financial reporting purposes. The valuation committee which is headed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company determines the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

29. Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations predominantly relate to providing Integrated Solutions, Technical Division, Projects Division and Software Development Services to customers globally operating. Accordingly, the primary basis of segmental information set out in these financial statements, and secondary segmental reporting is performed on the basis of the geographical location.

Income & Direct expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainders of the costs are allocated on the bases of available information. Certain expenses, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments. The Company believes that it is not practicable to provide segmental disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as “unallocable” and directly charged against total income.

Credit risk management

Credit Risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial asset fails to perform or pay the amount due causing financial loss to the company. The maximum exposure of the financial assets represents trade receivables and work in progress.

The company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk in the course of its business activities. The risk on trade receivables, work in progress is limited as the customers of the company mainly consist of Government promoted entities having strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables. The provision Matrix takes into account ageing of accounts receivables and the company’s historical experience

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk arises from the company’s inability to meet its cash flow commitments on time. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.
