We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Virtuoso Optoelectronics Limited (the “Company”) which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss, and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and Notes to the standalone financial statements, including 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 standalone 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 standards and accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit 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 (SAs), as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.

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 standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act 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 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.

The Key Audit Matter
|
How the matter was addressed in our audit
|
|
1. Revenue Recognition from Sales
|
|
Revenue is measured net of returns, discounts and rate difference on the Company’s sales.
Revenue is recognized when the control of the underlying products has been transferred to the customer. Accuracy of revenues, onerous obligations and profits may deviate significantly on account of change in judgements and estimates.
Considering the variability of assumptions involved in estimation of revenues, the same has been considered as a Key Audit Matter.
|
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Assessing the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies, including those relating to sales returns, discounts and rate difference.
• Performing substantive testing (including year- end cutoff testing) by selecting samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year by verifying the underlying documents, which included sales invoices / e-invoice, etc.
• For sample customers, obtained and assessed the arrangements with the Company and impact on revenue recognition including their payment terms and right to returns.
• For sample customer balances, obtained direct confirmation and tested the reconciliations, if any.
|
|
Revenue Recognition from Government Grants
|
|
The Company’s revenues include revenue from government grants amounting to INR 975.24 Lakhs, disclosed under Note 22 ‘Revenue from Operations’
As per AS 12 “Accounting for Government Grant”, Government grants available to the enterprise are considered for inclusion in accounts:
(i) where there is reasonable assurance that the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to them; and
(ii) where such benefits have been earned by the enterprise and it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.
|
Our audit procedures included:
• We evaluated the recognition and measurement principles of sanctioning grants under the PLI Scheme and State Electronics Policy, ensuring compliance with accounting standards. This included assessing revenue recognition conditions and the proper allocation of incentives over the performance period.
• We verified the company’s compliance with PLI scheme eligibility criteria and performance obligations, ensuring documentation supported eligibility and annual cap of incentives.
• We assessed the adequacy of disclosure regarding PLI and IPS incentives in the financial statements and compliance with reporting requirements outlined by regulatory authorities.
|
|
Inventory Valuation
|
|
Inventories are held at the lower of landed cost and net realizable value (NRV).
Due to high volume and nature of products, the company is dealing with and the absence of adequate records, valuation of inventory may be misstated.
Also NRV is being based on the assumptions/ judgment of the management. Inappropriate assumptions of NRV can impact the assessment of the carrying value of inventories.
|
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing the appropriateness of the inventory valuation method followed by the management and by comparing with applicable AS.
• Performing substantive testing (including year - end cut off testing) by selecting samples of inward and outward movement of inventory during the year by verifying the underlying documents, which included sales invoices / purchase invoice and bill of entry.
• Evaluating the design and implementation of the Company’s internal controls over the Landed Cost of Inventory and Net Realizable Value (NRV) assessment.
• Considered the valuation certificate provided by the management and stock statements submitted to the banks.
|
|
We have determined that there are no other Key Audit Matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report(s) thereon. The Company's annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 identified above when it becomes available 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 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 respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and 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 (AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accor¬ dance 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 rea¬ sonable 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 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.
Auditors’ 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the oper¬ ating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related dis¬ closures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncer¬ tainty 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 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 auditors' 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 regard¬ ing 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 for the year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in ex¬ tremely 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.
