AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2025-03 

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Kernex Microsystems (India) Limited
(the “Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity
for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policies and
other explanatory information. (hereinafter referred to as “Standalone Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the
effects of the matter described in the “Basis for Qualified Opinion” paragraph below,
the aforesaid Stand¬
alone 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
section 133 of the Act, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs
of the Company as at March 31, 2025 and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified opinion

We draw attention to the matters described below, the effect of which, individually or in aggregate, are mate¬
rial but not pervasive to the Standalone Financial Statements. The effects of matters described below, which
could be reasonably determined, are quantified and given therein.

a. The Company has a Wholly owned subsidiary namely Avant-Garde Infosystems Inc in USA which is
presently supporting the business of the Company by identifying the sources, negotiating for and pro¬
curing electronic components from outside India. The subsidiary in the past, was involved in the trading
of goods.

b. As per the latest unaudited financials of the subsidiary available as on 31st March 2025, the accumulat¬
ed loss of the subsidary company for the period ended 31st March 2025 is USD 1.894 million (the equiv¬
alent Indian Rupees being Rs. 1,617.84 lakhs as per prevailing exchange rate), Which is exceeding
the cost of investment made USD 1.822 million (Rs. 1,275.97 lakhs (at Cost)). As a result, the carrying
amount of the investment in the equity of subsidiary in the books of account of the Company amounting
to Rs. 1,275.97 lakhs (at Cost) stand's impaired fully. Ind AS 36, requires the company to provide for
impairment in respect of diminution in the value of investments by charging the amount of impairment
to the Profit & Loss Account.

c. The Company made an investment of Rs. 8.00 lakhs in KERNEX TCAS JV - a controlled entity (sub¬
sidiary) formed to execute a railway safety project, in which the Company has 80% share in the profits
and losses. In addition, the Company has also provided the long-term advance of Rs. 575.89 lakhs
(Including interest amount). As per the latest audited financials of KERNEX TCAS JV as on 31st March
2025, the JV has total assets of Rs 718.55 lakhs and outside liabilities (other than the advance due to
the company) is Rs. 442.94 lakhs. Thus, the net assets available amounting to Rs 275.61 lakhs are not
sufficient to recover the advance given to KERNEX TCAS JV which is Rs. 575.89 lakhs (Including inter¬
est amount) as on 31st March 2025. Accordingly in our opinion the same investments and the advance
are subject to impairment in standalone financial statements to the extent of Rs 308.28 lakhs.

Since the Company has not impaired the cost of investments in the equity of subsidiary and the advance
granted to KERNEX TCAS JV to an extent of Rs. 1,584.25 lakhs (Rs. 1,275.97 lakhs on account of diminution
in the value of the investment in equity of the wholly owned subsidiary & Rs. 308.28 lakhs on account of insuf¬
ficient funds available in KERNEX TCAS JV), the profit and other Comprehensive Income for the year ended
are overstated by the said amount. The Other Equity in the balance sheet for the year ended is overstated by
Rs.1, 584.25 lakhs.

Our conclusion on the standalone financial statements is qualified in respect of the above matters.

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Audit¬
ing (SA's) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements 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 thereunder 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 opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 12 and 14 of the Standalone Financial Statements, which describes
the company’s assessment towards the recoverability of the following financial assets which are
outstanding for long period of time:

a. Trade Receivables from customers Rs. 422.10 Lakhs (PY 418.34 Lakhs) and respective
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) provision for the CY Rs. 211.67 Lakhs (PY Rs.183.58 Lakhs). The
said receivable is outstanding for more than 3 years.

b. Margin money deposits with banks of Rs. 1,905.12 Lakhs (PY 1,513.31 Lakhs) provided for
customer guarantees of Rs. 3,521.18 Lakhs (PY 2,161.71Lakhs) and under arbitration /
negotiation.

Such assessments are based on current facts and circumstances and may not necessarily reflect
future uncertainties and events and the final recoverable amounts may vary for the reasons mentioned
therein.

Our conclusion on the statement is not qualified in respect of these matters.

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

2. Existence and valuation of inventories

As at 31st March 2025, the Company has reported
inventories amounting to ?5,179.82 lakhs (Refer
Note 10 of the Standalone Financial Statements),
comprising raw materials and work-in-progress.
Given the materiality of this balance and the
complexities involved in physical verification and
valuation of inventories across various locations and
stages of production, this matter has been identified
as a Key Audit Matter.

The physical verification of raw material stocks held
in stores was conducted by the management. We
reviewed the verification records and applied rollback
procedures to reconcile the verified quantities to the
balances as at 31st March 2025 based on inventory
movement data.

Inventories held at project sites and were physically
verified by the respective site in-charge in coordination
with the management ,we have reviewed the physical
verification report and confirmation submitted by the
site in-charge and reconciliation's were made in
respect of the materials delivered from Head Office to
project sites and materials invoice from project site to
customers

Work-in-progress was examined based on the records
maintained through the Company's inventory records
and related registers maintained in the accounting
system . The Value of the Work - in progress is
evaluated with reference to the material cost available
in the accounting system and allocation of overheads
with reference to the various stages of production of
the items

We examined the Stores records ,inventory records
maintained in the accounting system and the cost
allocation procedures implemented in the company
to understand and assess the movement of inventory
transactions, including receipts from purchases,
issues for production, and stock transfers. We also
evaluated the valuation methodology applied by the
Company in accordance with its accounting policy
and Ind AS 2 - Inventories, and performed material
reconciliation procedures to verify the accuracy of the
closing stock balances.

3. Balances with statutory and government
authorities

As at 31st March 2025, the Company has reported
balances amounting to ?912.96 lakhs lying with
statutory and government authorities (Refer Note
16 of the Standalone Financial Statements).
Considering the materiality of the amount and the
nature of regulatory compliances involved, this
matter has been identified as a Key Audit Matter.

This balance primarily comprises Input Tax Credit
(ITC) and GST TDS receivable, which the Company
intends to avail or set off against future tax liabilities
arising from sales.

We have verified these balances against the returns
filed by the Company under the applicable GST laws.
We also corroborated the reported balances with data
available on the relevant government portals (i.e. GST
portal) to ensure accuracy and recoverability. Based
on our procedures, we assessed the appropriateness
of the recognition and presentation of these balances
in the financial statements.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon (“Other Information”)

• The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Report of the Board of Directors including Annexures
thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis Report but does not include the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Standalone 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.

• 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 Standalone Financial
Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with re¬
spect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the finan¬
cial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity
of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS
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 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.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting pro¬
cess.

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. Misstate¬
ments 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

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 controls 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 con¬
trols with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting esti¬
mates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting
and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report
to the related disclosures in the financial results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represents 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 financial
controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

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

a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
