We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of MONOTYPE INDIA LIMITED
(“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, the Statement of
Profit and Loss, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the Ind AS financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 as
amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
March 31,2025, and profit/loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Ind AS financial
statements.

Emphasis of Matter Paragraph
We draw attention to the following:

As mentioned in Note No. 36 of the Financial Results, the Company has had trading and demat
accounts with Guiness Securities Limited (GSL) since 2014 and had availed margin funding
facilities through the said broker.

As of March 31,2025, the Company held securities with a total market value of ?8,58,14,107.14 in
its demat account maintained with GSL. Against this, an amount of ?7,70,35,646.19 was payable

to GSL. The Management has internally adjusted the value of the securities against the
outstanding liability, resulting in a net recoverable balance of ?87,78,460.95.

However, Guiness Securities Limited has been declared a defaulter by the National Stock
Exchange and is currently untraceable. Consequently, the Company has written off the net
recoverable balance of ?87,78,460.95 as bad debts in its books of accounts, since recovery of the
same is considered improbable.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the 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 that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Auditor's Response

Our audit procedures included understanding and evaluating processes and controls designed
and implemented by the management for assessment of said transaction and testing their
operating effectiveness; obtaining the list of documents and communications, inspecting the
supporting evidence, the prevailing market valuation as per the Valuation reports submitted to us
and critically assessing management's evaluation through discussions with management on the
said transaction.

In light of the above, we did not identify any material exceptions as a result of above procedures.
Other Information

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the Director's Report, Management Discussion and Analysis and Business
Responsibility Report but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor's report
thereon. The other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's
report. Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind
AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it
becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially
inconsistent with the Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

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 these Ind AS 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133
of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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.

In preparing the Ind AS 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 orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 ouropinion. 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Companies Act, 2013, 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 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 report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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 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 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.
