Report on Standalone Financial Statements of ITI Limited

Disclaimer of Opinion

We were engaged to audit the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements(RSSFSRS) of ITI Limited ("The Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at

March 31,2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Changes in Equity for

the year then ended and a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

We do not express any opinion on the accompanying SFS of the Company. Because of the significance of the matters described in the RSBasis for Disclaimer of

OpinionRS section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these SFS.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. The SFS of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024, as approved by the Board of Directors on May 28, 2024, was reported upon by us vide our audit report issued on July 31, 2024. Vide this report, we had issued a Disclaimer of Opinion on the said SFS due to the significance of the matters described in the RSBasis for disclaimer of opinionRS section of the said report and our inability to quantify/ascertain the impact of matters covered therein on the SFS for the said financial year. Those comments and observations may continue to impact the SFS for the current year.

2. The Company did not have adequate internal financial controls with reference to its financial statements as required by section 134 of the Companies Act, 2013, which may in turn result in errors and misstatements therein which may remain undetected and have a material impact thereof. This includes non-establishment of a sound information systems security policy and general controls interalia with adequate controls, safeguards and oversight over access, use of passwords, change management, modifications/edits made to data through the application or to the database/backend changes, with adequate audit trails and periodical reviews of the same.

3. The Company has recognized the sale of a portion of its land and an old building at Electronic City Bengaluru to Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DotRS) at an agreed consideration of Rs. 20,000 lakhs and the consequent profit on sale thereof amounting to Rs. 10,919 lakhs, pursuant to an agreement to sell dated February 17, 2025, and approvals from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India for the sale. Pending demarcation of the relevant property by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (RSKIADBRS) as at March 31, 2025, subsequent confirmation of demarcation by Electronic City Industrial Township Authority, receipt of balance consideration of Rs.10,000 lakhs, execution of sale deed in favor of the buyer and the consequent transfer of control over the said property to the latter, the derecognition criteria laid down in IndAS-16 RSProperty, Plant and EquipmentRS (RSPPERS) is not satisfied. Had the Company not recognized the said sale, Assets held for saleRS would have reflected a balance of Rs. 9,081 lakhs, RSOther current assetsRS would have been lower Rs. 4,152 lakhs (after adjusting other receivables by the Company, simultaneously to be settled without payment), RSLoss for the yearRS and RSTotal comprehensive income (loss)RS would have been more by Rs. 10,919 lakhs, Current Liabilities and provisions would have been more by Rs. 2,280 lakhs (after adjusting other dues by the Company, simultaneously to be settled without payment), debit balance in Profit and Loss account would have been more by Rs. 10,919 lakhs, RSEarnings per shareRS would be lower at Rs. (3.19) as against the reported amount of Rs. (2.43)

4. We had in paragraph 7 under the head RSBasis for Disclaimer of OpinionRS vide our report dated July 31,2024, on the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, reported that assets though put to use in prior years aggregating to Rs. 11,620.82 lakhs had been held in RSCapital Work in ProgressRS and not capitalized as PPE. During the year, the Company has capitalized as PPE/ Investment Property(RSIPRS), the new data center to an extent of Rs. 2,679.92 lakhs, NIFT building of Rs. 6,582.06 lakhs and other assets to an extent of Rs. 2,355.16 lakhs, all held in Capital Work in Progress as at April 01, 2024. Since this was a RSPrior period errorRS within the meaning of Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and ErrorsRS, the Company ought to have restated its prior yearRSs figures including the additional charge for depreciation relating to the period up to March 31, 2023, and for the year ended March 31, 2024. For want of full information, we are unable to prepare/quantify the effect of the restated balance sheet as at April 01,2023, all affected figures for the year ended March 31,2024, and the charge for depreciation for year under review/loss for the year/earnings per share and consequent disclosures.

We have relied on the documents furnished for verification of title deeds and do not express any independent opinion on the same. Further, the auditors of Naini (M/s Vinay Kumar & Co) and Palakkad (M/s Balaram & Nandakumar) units have commented on the limitations in respect of title deeds of the units.

The value of Land as shown in the SFS includes such land resumed by the Govt of Kerala pending decision by the Apex court.

6. Fixed asset records (FAR) maintained in excel sheets are with inadequate description and location of assets, which in turn may impact the rate of depreciation to be applied and the consequent written down value of assets.

Management has not assessed assets which are unserviceable/ not in working condition and has not recognized any provision for diminution in value with respect to such assets. The Company has not made available records in support of physical verification of PPE carried.

19. The CompanyRSs contribution to ITI Employees Provident Fund Trust (RSPF TrustRS) as detailed in its Material Accounting Policies has been considered as a defined contribution plan and not as a defined benefit plan, both for the current and prior years. Accordingly, the liability to the trust ought to have been evaluated actuarily and recognized rather than at 12% of the eligible salaries to be made over during the year. We have also not received the audited financial statements of the PF Trust to assess whether there is any shortfall between the income received by the PF Trust and interest expense recognized based on the rate of interest declared by the Provident Fund Commissioner, Government of India for the year or prior years. Consequent disclosures required in terms of IndAS 19 - Employee Benefits have not been furnished.

23.

In these cases, the Company has recognized revenue for supply of goods to customers based on dispatches and for services, wherever completed by it, as at year end. The Company has not furnished us with the requisite documentation substantiating compliance with the preconditions for recognizing revenue in terms of IndAS 115-Revenue from Contracts with Customers and passing of controls to the latter over the goods and services. The Company has also not assessed probable losses which it might incur on account of cost overruns and in completion of services, requiring recognition.

b. Attention is invited to foot note of note 22 of the SFS where in the Company has enumerated the status of a contract with Ministry of Defense, government of India, for supply and establishment of Army Static Switched Communication Network (ASCON) at an agreed consideration. In terms of the said contract, the Company was to mandatorily demonstrate its complete solution to bring out its capabilities vis-a-vis the requirements of the customer, which would be evaluated by the latter and form an essential part of the test bed evaluation process. We are informed for the reasons stated in the said note that the test best approval was awaited as at March 31, 2025, which is expected upon completion of certain activities as detailed therein. The Company has proceeded with part execution of the contract pending test bed final approval and in the opinion of the management of the Company is not impacting the revenue already recognized up to March 31, 2025, to an aggregate extent of Rs. 1,69,522.25 lakhs. We cannot express any independent opinion on such revenue recognized.

25. We understand that the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (RSMOURS) with the Minister of State, Department of Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education (MA&ME), Govt of West Bengal dated February 25, 2021 for execution of Infrastructure and IT Development Project wherein it was to host, operate, administer and execute the said project for a consultancy charge of 5% of the total vetted estimated cost of Detailed Project Reports (DPR) without GST. Pursuant to this MOU, the Company reportedly issued Work Orders (WOs) to several vendors before obtaining approvals from the corporate office. The work order issued by MA&ME was reportedly cancelled by the Minister of Minority Affairs, Government of India on March 2, 2022, and Company in turn reportedly cancelled the WOs issued on various vendors on September 2, 2023. Certain vendors to whom contracts had been awarded have reportedly filed writs in the High Court of Kolkata regarding non-payment of dues by the Company for work completed by them to an extent of Rs. 292 lakhs (to the extent furnished to us). There were reportedly irregularities observed in the receipt of the said MOU and as well as in the WOs issued and cancelled by the Company on certain vendors in terms of an inter-office memo from the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) to Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) dated July 25, 2023. Management has represented that these irregularities are in the nature of negligence and has confirmed that there is no fraud committed in this respect. We have relied on the information and explanations furnished by the Company and do not express any independent opinion on the said matter including any probability of fraud. Effect on the SFS, if any, is not ascertainable at this stage.

26. The Company has reported certain non-compliances with various provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations/Companies Act, 2013 (RSthe ActRS) interalia in respect of quorum for board meetings, non-compliance with the constitution of audit and risk management committees, specified proportion/ number of independent directors. Consequential non-provision for penalty and interest on such non-compliance not recognized in the SFS.

27. The Company received RS5,900 lakhs on January 23, 2025, from the Government of India through the Department of Telecommunications (order dated January 21,2025) for specified capital projects, as equity investment per communication dated January 08, 2025, from Government of India to DOT. While the Board approved the share issuance on May 27, 2025, the Company did not obtain prior shareholder approval via special resolution under Section 62(1)

(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, including not obtaining a valuation report in support of its issue price. It also did not comply with Section 42 procedures for private placement or the applicable stock exchange listing regulations. The Company believes that Regulation 70 of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2009 exempts it from passing a special resolution; however, no such exemption exists under the Companies Act. Further, the shares were not allotted within 60 days of receipt nor was the amount refunded within the next 15 days, leading to the funds being regarded as a deposit under Rule 2(1)(c)(vii) of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014. The impact of this non-compliance on the standalone financial statements could not be ascertained.

28. Attention of the members is also invited to our comments in para 2(j)(vi) of the section on RSReport on legal and regulatory mattersRS regarding audit trails and in Annexure D, pursuant to the directions of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. We are unable to assess the impact of these observations on the SFS.

29. There are current and old balances carried forward in certain assets and liabilities accounts which are set out in Annexure A to this report. In respect to these accounts, management has not furnished us the composition of such balances and requisite records in support thereof. In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to assess the impact of the same on the SFS.

30. The Company has not furnished certain disclosures as required under Schedule III of the Act in respect of the details of quarterly returns / statements of Current assets filed by the Company with banks and accordingly we are unable to comment if those returns were in agreement with the books of accounts or reconciliations/reasons of material discrepancies, if any, if there were differences.

Common to all matters dealt with above:

We are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to form an opinion on the SFS due to the potential interaction of the multiple/undetected misstatements, if any, contained therein and assessment of their possible individual and cumulative effect thereof, which may be material and pervasive, and accordingly forms the basis for the disclaimer of opinion.

Material Uncertainty for continuing as a Going Concern.

The Company incurred a net loss of Rs. 23,315.35 lakhs during the year ended March 31,2025 with its current liabilities as at year end being more than its current assets as reflected in the SFS and such gap likely to increase in the wake of our qualifications outlined in the foregoing paragraphs under the heading RSBasis for Disclaimer of OpinionRS may cast a doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Reference is drawn to note 31(4) of SFS where in the management is of the opinion that going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in view of the factors outlined in the said note. The appropriateness of the going concern is subject to successful attainment of the plans of the Company. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

According to the Company, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited(RSUPPCL) has shown excess reading of electricity bill, which has been decided by Consumer Forum in its favor but still Rs. 326.26 lakhs is being shown as arrears of dues in their bill. Unit has reportedly filed a case against UPPCL in the HonRSble High Court at Lucknow and the matter is sub judice. (As reported by M/S Chandnani Singh & Associates, Chartered Accountants, RaeBareli unit of the Company).

We have not come across any instances of the audit trail features being tampered with for the period except in respect of Raebareli and Srinagar units, where such examination could not be carried out. Based on Tally PrimeRSs architecture, we understand that there is no audit trail (edit log) of database changes. Palakkad unit uses RSIMMSRS software which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility. The audit trails of changes to this software were not furnished to the branch auditors. Many of the records used for preparation of SFS like payroll, inventory/ fixed asset records, billing and invoicing on customers etc., at certain units are maintained in excel/ other software, where there are no audit trails/ edit logs.

The Company based on explanations furnished has preserved audit trails of Tally for the financial year 2023-24 from the date they were activated, differently at various units. We are unable to comment on the audit trail preservation in respect of IMMS software.

m. As required by section 143(5) of the Act, we report on matters covered in the directions issued by the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India, the action taken thereon and its impact on the SFS of the Company in "Annexure D".
