business and the Digital business was transferred on going concern basis to
Subex Assurance LLP and Subex Digital LLP respectively. Effective April 1,
2021 considering the favourable order received, no additional liability is
created in respect of aforesaid tax benefits.
7 The Group is engaged in the business of software products and related
services, which are monitored as a single segment by the Chief Operating
Decision Maker, accordingly, these, in the context of Ind AS 108 on Operating
Segments Reporting are considered to constitute one segment and hence the

business through Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Subex Inc. obtained a
benefit under this scheme for ₹600 Lakhs during May 2020. During the nine
months period ended December 31, 2021, Subex Inc. obtained complete
waiver of the loan amount from Small Business Administration, United
States government agency and accordingly the loan and interest accrued thereon
was recognised as other income.

has approved the restructuring of the business, subject to all requisite
approvals, wherein the business carried out by Subex Assurance LLP will be
transferred to Subex Limited on a 'going concern' basis excluding Developed

being carried out to achieve higher operational efficiencies upon integration
and consolidation of business in the listed entity. On February 23, 2022, the
shareholder of the Company approved the aforesaid restructuring through postal
ballot. The aforesaid restructuring is likely to be completed over next few
months.
10 On December 6, 2021, the Group experienced a cybersecurity incident related to
ransomware. The Group could contain the incident in a timely basis and has
also ensured that all traces of the infection are completely cleared from the
network. All affected systems were restored and brought back to normalcy in
the order of priority. The management has assessed the impact of the incident
on the control environment and the financial statement process and conclude
there was no material impact on the financial results. Since then, the Group
has also been focused on implementing significant improvements to its cyber
