REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors
of Lytus Technologies Holdings PTV. LTD.:

Opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone statement of financial position of Lytus Technologies Private Limited (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019 and as of March 15, 2020, the related standalone statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, for the period from April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 and for the period from April 1, 2019 through March 15, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the standalone financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and March 15, 2020 and the standalone results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 and for the period from April 1, 2019 through March 15, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis for Opinion

These standalone financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s standalone financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the US Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the standalone financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL statementS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive share purchase agreement with Lytus Technologies Private Limited (“Lytus India”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 15,000 shares (representing all of the equity share capital of Lytus India) for an aggregate purchase price of INR 150,650 (approximately $2,000). The merger with Lytus India established a new basis of accounting for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company. Such assets and liabilities were recognized at their estimated fair values as of the merger closing date in accordance with the acquisition method and is reflected in the Company’s financial statements after the merger closing date. As such, the fiscal year 2020 financial activity is presented in two periods. Financial activity prior to the merger (April 1, 2019 to March 15, 2020) is presented as “predecessor” using the previous basis of accounting. Financial activity that occurred on or after the merger (March 16, 2020 to March 31, 2020) is presented as “successor” using the new basis of accounting.

Going Concern:

Impact of COVID-19 on operations

The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on the economy of India. While the pandemic, has increased the demand for streaming and telemedicine services globally, there continue to be significant uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to the ultimate spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the lockdowns and further actions that may be taken by governmental authorities around the world to contain the virus or to treat its impact. The pandemic has particularly impacted the working capital, cash flow and the timing of receipt of significant receivables and payment of payables of the Company. These restrictions have also severely impacted the mobility of the Company’s staff and resources and its access to banks and customer worksites, impairing its normal operations. The lockdown in India is strict with limited domestic travel. Local travel within a city is not allowed, either. Therefore we have limited access to various cities, such as Hyderabad, where our customers reside. Many offices are closed and banks are severely affected. As a result of the lockdown policy in India, we have restricted access to banking services, Subscriber Management System (SMS) report, prior to settlement, and service providers certifying the adequacy of the fiber held by Reachnet. Moreover, in India most of the collections by local cable operators are still in cash and these have been affected/delayed due to lockdown. The lockdown is extended to October 31, 2020¹ and could be potentially further extended. In addition, on September 18, 2020, the restriction under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was passed, prohibiting movement and gathering of people, except for listed emergency and non-emergency services.

There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the economy of India, U.S. and international markets and, as such, the extent of the business disruption and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Negative working capital and Cash Flow

The Company currently has negative working capital and cash flow aggravated by the COVID-19 lockdown and negative cash flow used in operating activities to the extent of $700. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Upon ending of the COVID-19 lockdown, the Company expects to be able to carry out its operations in the normal course of business and generate a minimum of INR130 ($1.9) as streaming subscription fee from its approximately 1.8 million customer connections per month, as prescribed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India guidelines¹⁵. This would enable the Company to improve its cash position significantly.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company further believes that in the coming 12 months, upon the ending of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, cash flow from operating activities should improve for the following reasons:

● Monthly subscription fees paid by our customers will be billed and collected at the beginning of each month in advance;

● The contracted operating expense for the streaming business is 61%, ensuring a confirmed net surplus of revenue for the Company.

● Additional product offerings to customers such as our telemedicine business are expected to generate additional cash flow for the Company.

To further mitigate the impact of the current negative working capital and cash flow, the Company has also taken additional precautionary steps by approaching financial institutions and credit partners in India to create and avail credit lines and bridge financing against the company’s future cash flows;

Large Payment Obligation by the Company

On March 31, 2020, under the terms of its Customer Acquisition Agreement with Reachnet, the Company is obligated to make payments to Reachnet. This amount represents the largest payment obligation of the Company and is payable in four equal installments (25% each) on or before 31 July 2020 (or at a mutually agreeable date upon the ending of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions), March 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Please refer to Note 23 on Business Combination.

Under the terms of the agreement with Reachnet, the Company was also scheduled to receive ‘Other Receivables’ due of approximately $15 million from Reachnet for the period of April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, as reflected in its books of accounts. The COVID-19 lockdown has delayed the settlement of this accounts receivable under its contract with Reachnet. The Company expects that this settlement will be implemented as soon as possible, upon the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in India. Upon such settlement and upon resumption of normal operations, the company expects to have sufficient available cash to be able to meet its current liabilities associated with the business. Please refer to the section below in this note on Other Income/Application of IFRS 15.

Furthermore, the Company is contemplating discussions with Reachnet’s Management to consider modifying its agreement with Reachnet by offering Reachnet stock in lieu of its current payment obligations. This modification, if implemented, should help substantially mitigate cash liquidity requirements for the Company.

Based on the above, we believe that upon lifting of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in India, the Company’s available potential cash balances should be sufficient to meet its requirements to carry out its operations effectively. After this offering, the Company may decide to enhance its liquidity position or increase its cash reserve for future investments through additional capital and finance funding.

10 May 2008 for the purpose of providing telemedicine and online streaming content services to its subscribers and DDC CATV was incorporated in India on 20 November 2013 for the purpose of providing streaming services to its subscribers.

The Company’s registered office is at 116 Main Street, P.O. Box 3342, Road Town, Tortola British Virgin Islands. The consolidated financial statements comprise financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”).

The Company has applied to list our common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “LYT”. It is offering 2,727,272 common shares in our proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO) and we anticipate the price will be between $10 to $12 per share.

The Group applies judgement to determine whether each product or services promised to a customer are capable of being distinct, and are distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised product or services are combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Group allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation deliverables based on their relative stand-alone selling price.

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements for the period from March 16, 2020 (date of inception) through March 31, 2020, are the Group’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The accounting policies used for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are based upon the application of IFRS 1.D17, which results in assets liabilities being measured at the same carrying amount as in the standalone financial statements of subsidiaries for the period ended March 31, 2020 after adjusting for consolidation and equity accounting adjustments and for the effects of the business combination in which the entity acquired the subsidiary.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The functional and reporting currency of the Company and Group is “INR” and “US$”, respectively and all amounts, are rounded with two decimals, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

LYTUS TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities that affect the Company’s returns and exposure or rights to variable returns from the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized profits or losses arising from intra group transaction, are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Non-controlling interests (NCI) in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the acquisition and the non-controlling shareholders’ share of changes in equity since the date of the acquisition.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

New, revised or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted for fiscal period ended March 31, 2020

In January 2016, International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version of IFRS 16, Leases, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 has replaced IAS 17 Leases, and its related interpretations. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees.

The Group has adopted IFRS 16, effective for the annual reporting period beginning April 1, 2019, however there are no lease transactions which required application of IFRS 16 and accordingly there is no impact on retained earnings or any other assets or liabilities.

The Group has also adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014), which became mandatorily effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The nature and effect of the changes arising from these standards are summarized below.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 and covers contracts for goods and services. IFRS 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer; so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards.

LYTUS TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 from April 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, transitional adjustments are recognized in retained earnings as of April 1, 2019 (the date of initial application), without restating the comparative period.

Under IFRS 15, the Group must evaluate the separability of the promised goods or services based on whether they are ‘distinct’. A promised good or service is ‘distinct’ if both:

● the customer benefits from the item either on its own or together with other readily available resources: and

● it is ‘separately identifiable’ form other promise in the contracts (i.e. the Group does not provide significant service integrating, modifying or customizing it).

While this represents significant new guidance, the implementation of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on the timing or amount of revenue recognized during the period. No adjustments were required to account for the impact of IFRS 15 on initial adoption.

IFRIC 23 — Uncertainty over Income Tax treatments

The International Accounting Standard Board clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The interpretation is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatment under IAS 12. The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not any impact on consolidated financial statement of the Group.

India taxes are based on the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act) and the rules under the Income Tax Rules, 1962. The Act also provides for anti-avoidance rules at various places. The taxpayer is required to self-assess his tax position and file his tax return. The filed tax return is then subject to review and examination by the Indian tax authorities.

This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that no provision for uncertainty in income taxes was necessary as of March 31, 2020. We evaluate our uncertain tax positions on a regular basis. Our evaluations are based on a number of factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audit and effective settlement of audit issues.

Changes in significant accounting policies

The Group’s accounting policies, which have changed as a result of the changes to accounting standards noted above, are summarized below:

Revenue

Revenue is recognized based on the transfer of services to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable taking into account the amount of discounts, rebates, outgoing taxes on sales.

To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:

1. Identifying the contract with a customer

2. Identifying the performance obligations

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations

5. Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied

Further information about each source of revenue from contracts with customers and the criteria for recognition follows.

Subscription revenues

Subscription income includes subscription from subscribers. Revenue is recognized upon completion of services based on underlying subscription plan or agreements with the subscribers.

Carriage/Placement/Marketing Incentive revenues

Carriage/Placement/Marketing Incentive fees are recognized upon completion of services based on agreements with the broadcasters.

Advertising revenues

Advertisement income is recognized when relevant advertisements are telecasted.

GST on all income

The Company collects Goods and Service Tax (GST) on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the Company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.

The Company’s disaggregated revenues are disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations.

New, revised or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet Adopted

In May 2020, the IASB issued Reference to the Conceptual Framework, which made amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Entities which rely on the Conceptual Framework will need to consider whether their accounting policies are still appropriate under the revised Framework, with effect for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Group does not expect the amendment to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The IASB has issued ‘Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)’ aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Group does not expect the amendment to have any impact on its evaluation of whether activities and assets acquired are a business or a group of assets.

The IASB issued Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) in October 2018 to clarify and align the definition of material. The amendments are intended to improve the understanding of the existing requirements rather than to significantly impact an entity’s materiality judgements. The amendments must be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, with earlier application permitted. The Group does not expect the amendment to have any impact on its evaluation of ‘material’ in relation to its consolidated financial statements.

The IASB has issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 that provide certain reliefs in connection with interest rate benchmark reform. The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that inter-bank offered rates (“IBOR”) reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. However, any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the income statement. The amendments must be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, with earlier application permitted. The Group does not expect the amendment to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The IASB has issued ‘Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)’ providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual agreements in place at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and are to be applied retrospectively with application permitted. The Group does not expect the amendments to have any significant impact on its presentation of liabilities in its statement of financial position.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of India (INR) which is the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

LYTUS TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as of fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Financial Instruments

Financial Assets

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

● those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and

● those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

F-14

LYTUS TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Group right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognized in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Company measures the expected credit loss associated with its trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates or any other appropriate basis. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Financial Liabilities

Initial Recognition and Measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans, and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities at amortized cost:

After initial measurement, such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of the borrowings using the EIR method.

Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the period which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial Guarantee Obligations

The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations. Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values as of the date of transition are accounted for as contributions and recognized as part of the cost of the equity investment.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of financial position but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

F-16

LYTUS TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

Financial Liability

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognized for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

● When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

● When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognized are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognized deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

As of March 31, 2020, the Group had no significant uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Group recognizes interest and penalties related to significant uncertain income tax positions in other expense. There were no such interest and penalties incurred for the period ended March 31, 2020.

Under section 115-O of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, distribution of dividends, paid by Indian company until March 31, 2020 is subject to dividend distribution tax (DDT) at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of the applicable surcharge of 12% and health and education cess of 4%). Repatriation of dividend will not require Reserve Bank of India approval, subject to compliance and certain other conditions met per the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Capital work in progress (CWIP) includes cost of property and equipment under installation / under development, as of balance sheet date. All project related expenditures related to civil works, machinery under erection, construction and erection materials, preoperative expenditure incidental / attributable to the construction of projects, borrowing cost incurred prior to the date of commercial operations and trial run expenditure are shown under CWIP. Property and Equipment are derecognized from the financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use. Gains and losses on disposal or retirement of Property and Equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property and equipment less their estimated residual values using the written down method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Buildings	40 years
Property and equipment	3 – 15 years
Fixtures and fittings	5 – 10 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

F-18

LYTUS TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Intangible Assets

Separately purchased intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Finite-life intangible assets are amortized on a written down basis over the period of their expected useful lives. Estimated useful lives by major class of finite-life intangible assets are as follow:

Customers acquisition	5 Years
Trademark/Copy rights	5 Years
Computer Software	5 Years

The amortization period and the amortization method for definite life intangible assets is reviewed annually.

For indefinite life intangible assets, the assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

Goodwill is initially recognized based on the accounting policy for business combinations. These assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually.

IAS 38 requires an entity to recognize an intangible asset, whether purchased or self-created (at cost) if, and only if: [IAS 38.21]

a. it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and

b. the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

The probability of future economic benefits must be based on reasonable and supportable assumptions about conditions that will exist over the life of the asset. [IAS 38.22] The probability recognition criterion is always considered to be satisfied for intangible assets that are acquired separately or in a business combination. [IAS 38.33]

Para 25 of IAS 38 provides that the price an entity pays to acquire separately an intangible asset will reflect expectations about the probability that the expected future economic benefits embodied in the asset will flow to the entity. In other words, the entity expects there to be an inflow of economic benefits, even if there is uncertainty about the timing or the amount of the inflow. Therefore, the probability recognition criteria in Para 21(a) is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets. Para 26 of IAS 38 provides that the costs of a separately acquired intangible asset can usually be measured reliably. This is particularly so when the purchase consideration is in the form of cash or other monetary assets.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (cont.)

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as finance cost.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred Offering Costs consists of legal, accounting, underwriter’s fees, and other costs incurred through the balance date that are directly related to the proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that would be charged to stockholder equity upon completion of the proposed IPO. Should the proposed IPO prove unsuccessful, deferred costs and additional expenses to be incurred would be charged to operations.

Issued Capital

Common shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Costs related to an initial offering are expensed in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Dividends

Dividend distributions to the Group’s shareholders are recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Lytus Technologies Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than common shares, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in common shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential common shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential common shares.

NOTE 3 — OTHER INCOME

Other Income — Income on Acquisition of Customer-Contracts

Other Income of approximately $15 million is presented on the basis that all conditions have been satisfied as of 26 March 2020, to consummate closing of the Group’s acquisition agreement with Reachnet Cable Services Pvt. Ltd. (“Reachnet”) in which the Group acquired the customers and corresponding revenues (refer to Note 22 regarding agreement with Reachnet).

The Group has acquired approximately 1.8 million subscriber connections from a licensed streaming company (Reachnet), through the Agreements dated 21 June 2019 and 6 December 2019, and the income entitlement rights from April 1, 2019, for a consideration of $59 million. On 26 March 2020, the arrangement was consummated when pre-conditions were waived by mutual consent. The net surplus remaining with the Company is approximately $15 million. Considering that the acquired customers were integrated into the Group’s normal course of business on 26 March 2020, the revenue arising therefrom is recognized as “other income”.

The Group is free to appoint any licensed service provider for provision of streaming services. There is no binding or lock-in arrangement for providing streaming services to subscribers through Reachnet. The agreement contemplates only acquisition of subscriber base and is not an agreement to acquire or purchase the business of Reachnet. The Group has ensured adequate safeguard to secure acquired customer contracts through non-compete clause and non-solicitation of subscribers clause. In respect of streaming services, Lytus India has outsourced the provision of streaming services to Reachnet in the capacity of a service provider. Going forward, with respect of non-streaming services (such as MedTech IOT) these services would be billed directly by the Company and costs and revenue would not be shared with Reachnet.

NOTE 19 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management framework

The Group’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. This note explains the sources of risk which the Group is exposed to and how the Group manages the risk and the related impact in the financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to the Group. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial assets.

Credit risk management

The Group assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Group assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs, and factors specific to the class of financial assets.

The Group provides for expected credit loss based on the following:

Credit rating	Basis of categorization	Provision for expected credit loss
Low credit risk	Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and other financial assets	12 month expected credit loss
Moderate credit risk	Trade receivables and other financial assets	Lifetime expected credit loss, or 12 month expected credit loss
High credit risk	Trade receivables and other financial assets	Lifetime expected credit loss, or fully provided for

With respect of trade receivables, the Company recognizes a provision for lifetime expected credit losses.

Based on business environment in which the Group operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counterparty fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per the contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and consideration of differences between current and historical economic conditions.

Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy, or a litigation decision against the Group. The Group continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

Credit rating	Basis of categorization	As of March 31, 2020
Low credit risk	Cash and cash equivalents	$	41,760
Low credit risk	Other financial assets	$	42,038
Moderate credit risk	Trade receivables	$	390,151
Moderate credit risk	Other receivables	$	17,550,223

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 19 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

Cash & cash equivalents and bank deposits

Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks across the country.

Trade receivables

Credit risk related to trade receivables are mitigated by taking bank guarantees or letters of credit, from customers where credit risk is high. The Group closely monitors the creditworthiness of the debtors through internal systems that are configured to define credit limits of customers, thereby, limiting the credit risk to pre-calculated amounts. The Group assesses increases in credit risk on an ongoing basis for amounts receivable that become past due and default is considered to have occurred when amounts receivable become two year past due.

Other receivables

This is aggregate receivable for the period ended March 31, 2020, pursuant to the Acquisition of Customers from Reachnet. The Group closely monitors the creditworthiness of the debtors. Refer to Note 22 for further discussion on Acquisition of Customers.

Other financial assets measured at amortized cost

Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes loans and advances to related parties and employees, security deposits and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously.

Expected credit losses for financial assets other than trade receivables

The Group provides for expected credit losses on loans and advances other than trade receivables by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the Group deals with only high-rated banks and financial institutions, credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low. With respect to loans, comprising of security deposits, credit risk is considered low because the Group is in possession of the underlying asset. However, with respect to related parties, credit risk is evaluated based on credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. With respect to other financial assets, credit risk is evaluated based on the Group’s knowledge of the credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. The Group does not have any expected loss-based impairment recognized on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets.

Asset class	Estimated gross carrying amount at default		Expected probability of default			Expected credit losses		As of March 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	41,760		0.00	%		—	$	41,760
Other financial assets	$	42,038		0.00	%		—	$	42,038

The Company did not have any written off amounts during the period ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company did not have an allowance for loss at March 31, 2020.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due. The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents based on expected cash flows. The Group considers the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.

Fair value hierarchy

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on the balance sheet are categorized into the three levels of fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

The different levels of fair value have been defined below:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;

Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and

Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a net asset value or valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

Fair value of instruments measured at amortized cost

NOTE 20 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

Management assessed that fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, security deposits, loan to related parties, other financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Long-term fixed-rate receivables are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, individual creditworthiness of the customer and other market risk factors. Based on this evaluation, allowances are considered for the expected credit losses of these receivables.

The fair values of the Group’s fixed interest-bearing borrowings are determined by applying discounted cash flows (‘DCF’) method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as of the end of the reporting period.

All the other long-term borrowing facilities availed by the Company are variable rate facilities which are subject to changes in underlying Interest rate indices. Further, the credit spread on these facilities are subject to change with changes in Group’s creditworthiness. The management believes that the current rate of interest on these loans are in close approximation from market rates applicable to the Group. Therefore, the management estimates that the fair value of these borrowings are approximate to their respective carrying values.

On February 5, 2021, Lytus India and Reachnet entered into the Third Supplemental Agreement to the original subscriber acquisition agreement dated 20 June 2019, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to, on a good faith basis, settle payments before March 31, 2021 upon completion of the third party’s systems and operational review of Reachnet and its subscribers. The commercial terms to the agreement remain intact and are not subject to any contingency. Given the uncertainty with respect to another potential lockdown caused by a recent COVID-19 resurgence in India, the parties have also agreed that setting off the amounts due, can be an option, if required. On March 29, 2021, the third party’s review of Reachnet and its subscribers was further extended for two months due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and re-lockdown measures taken by the government of Maharashtra, India.

On October 30, 2020, the Company acquired 75% of voting equity interests of Global Health Sciences, Inc. (“GHSI”), a shell corporation with no active business operations or significant assets, in an effort to expand the Company’s telemedicine business into the United States. As consideration, the Company committed to invest an aggregate of $800,000 to GHSI, of which $70,000 was paid upon execution of the share purchase agreement. The remaining balance shall be payable when and if needed to fund the operations of the business.

Since our inception, we have issued an aggregate of 34,154,062 common shares to our Chief Executive Officer, Dharmesh Pandya. Mr. Pandya has later transferred unconditionally an aggregate of 7,932,855 common shares to various persons (including 2,621,371 shares to Lytus Trust), resulting in his current holding of 28,842,578 common shares of the Company (i.e. 26,221,207 held in his individual capacity and 2,621,371 shares held by Lytus Trust).

On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which it sold to the Investor 100 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) at a price of $8,800 per Unit, consists of (i) a six-month, 7% Senior Secured Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000 per Unit purchased, reflecting an original issue discount of 12% (the “Note”), and (ii) one half of a three-year warrant (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common shares (the transaction, the “Bridge Financing”). The principal and accrued interest of the Note will be due and payable on the date that is the earlier of (i) six (6) months anniversary of the Note, or (ii) a firm commitment underwritten public offering that results in the common shares of the Company being traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Qualified IPO”). On July 1, 2021, the Company and the Investor also entered into a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pledge and grant the Investor a security interest in 75% of its equity interest in GHSI and all related Future Rights, and the Proceeds as such terms are defined in the Pledge Agreement. In addition, the Investor and GHSI entered into a Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, pursuant to which it agrees to jointly and severally guarantees the payment of the Note.

On September 9, 2021, the Board of Directors of Lytus approved the appointment of Benjamin & Ko (PCAOB Number 6651) to act as the Company’s independent auditors to certify the account for the listing. Benjamin & Ko was mandated to audit the accounts for the fiscal period/year 2020. This decision was taken on account of the fact that Benjamin’s US team would be in a position to coordinate and complete the company’s audit and certify the accounts in a timely and cost-effective manner for the fiscal year ending 2021. This, especially considering the continuing restriction on travel to and from India on account of the COVID 19 lockdown.
