Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs Responsibilities 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 39 to the Statement, which describes the merger of wholly owned subsidiary, Synegra EMS Limited ("Synegra") with the Smartlink Holdings Limited ("the Company"), pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation ("the Scheme") sanctioned by the Honâble National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") vide its order dated January 09, 2025. As per the requirement of Appendix C of Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations, the accounting treatment for the merger has been given effect retrospectively from the beginning of the preceding period presented, i.e., April 1, 2023. The difference between the value of net assets and reserves and surplus of Synegra transferred to the Company has been adjusted against the capital reserves account of the Company, in accordance with the âSchemeâ. Consequently, the comparative figures for the year ended March 31,2024, have been restated to reflect the impact of the merger.

The adjustment made to the previously issued financial information to company with the Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations have been reviewed by us.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 for the year ended March 31, 2025 (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.
1. Valuation of Investments in Bonds and Mutual Funds Refer Note 8 & 13 to the Standalone Financial Statements.
As at March 2025, the Company has investments of Rs. 9,155.83 Lakhs in mutual funds and bonds which constitutes about 42.62% of the total assets of the company. During the year, the Company has recognised Rs. 427.67 Lakhs as fair value gain in the statement of Profit and Loss as per the requirements of Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments".
Due to significance of amount involved, we have considered this as Key Audit Matter.
Our audit procedures to assess the Valuation of Investment in Bonds and Mutual Funds included the following: -
⢠Obtained an understanding and assessed the design, implementation and testing of the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the
existence, valuation and classification, in mutual funds and bonds.
⢠Verified the demat account and statement of holdings to confirm the existence and accuracy of Bonds as at March 31,2025.
⢠Verified the confirmations from Fund Houses and statements of holdings to confirm existence and accuracy of investments in mutual funds as
on March 31,2025.
⢠In respect of investments in mutual funds which are fair valued through profit or loss, performed independent price checks based on confirmation and statement of Net Asset Value (NAV) from mutual funds houses.
⢠In respect of investments in bonds which are valued at amortised cost, verified the deal sheets and computation of interest accrued.
⢠Evaluated the basis of classification of investments into the various categories of financial instruments.
⢠Verified the completeness and accuracy of the disclosures.
2. Revenue Recognition from Networking Products
Refer the disclosure related to Revenue recognition in Note 30 to the accompanying standalone financial statements.
Revenue from sale and servicing of networking products is recognised net of returns and trade discounts. The Group recognises revenue when performance obligations as per the underlying contracts are satisfied in accordance with Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contract with Customers (âInd AS 115â). The terms set out in the Groupâs sales contracts are varied which affect the timing of revenue recognition.
We have identified Revenue recognition from networking products as a Key Audit Matter because Ind AS 115 involved assessing if distinct performance obligations exists under each type of the contracts and ensuring that the revenue is recognised in the appropriate period in which contractual obligation is satisfied.
Our audit procedures to assess the recognition of revenue from Networking Products included the following:
⢠Obtained an understanding and assessed the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of internal controls over identification of the contractual obligation existence, accuracy and timing of revenue recognition.
⢠Verified the contracts on test check basis to identify performance obligations under the contract and to assess whether revenue is recognised in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied.
⢠Performed substantive transactional testing on test check basis.
⢠Performed substantive analytical procedures considering the revenue trends of the previous years and the relationship between revenue and other financial statement line items.
⢠Reconciled the revenue with sales register.
⢠Performed cut-off testing to validate the timing of revenue recognition determined by management.
⢠Verified the completeness and accuracy of the disclosures.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directorâs Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs 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 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 Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(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, 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 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, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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 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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 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 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 internal financial controls 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 estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the standalone 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 auditorâs 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.
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 standalone financial statements of current period and are therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs 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 companyâs 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 financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
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

NETWORK SYSTEMS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the

Management's Responsibility 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

fair view of the financial position, financial performance 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, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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

specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about

statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial
statements.
