Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year

March 31, 2025, of its profit (including other comprehensive income), of
its changes in equity and of 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”) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further
described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement,
were of the most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements of the financial year ended March 31, 2025. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the following matters as Key Audit Matters to be
communicated in our report:

Key Audit Matter

Auditor’s Response

Accuracy and completeness of disclosure of related
party transactions and compliance with the provisions of
Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended
(‘SEBI (LODR) 2015'').

(Refer Note No. 44 to the Standalone Financial Statements)

Our audit approach include:

• We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness
of the controls related to capturing of related party transactions and management''s
process of ensuring all transactions and balances with related parties have been
disclosed in the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

• We obtained an understanding of the Company''s policies and procedures in respect of
evaluating arms-length pricing and approval process by the audit committee and the
board of directors.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor’s Response

• We agreed the amounts disclosed with underlying documentation and read relevant
agreements, evaluation of arms-length by management, on a sample basis, as part of
our evaluation of the disclosure.

• We assessed management evaluation of compliance with the provisions of Section 177
and Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI (LODR) 2015.

• We evaluated the disclosures through reading of statutory information, books and
records and other documents obtained during the course of our audit.

The company carries significant inventory in both the
Manufacturing as well as in trading divisions. The relevant
Inventory management, including stock verification
procedures at periodical intervals and valuation of
inventories considering the specific life cycle of the products
are underlying key factors in determining the appropriateness
of value of inventories. As per the company''s accounting
policies, inventories are measured at the lower of cost or
net realizable value. Considering the volume and complexity
of the inventory verification process and the associated
valuation, inventories are considered as a key audit matter.

(Refer Note No. 1B(g) & 7 to the Standalone Financial
Statements).

Our audit approach include:

• We have assessed the carrying value of inventories, including costing and provisions
for obsolescence and net realisable value.

• The existence of inventories has been tested through our attendance at year-end
inventory stocktakes. Observing physical inventories assisted with our valuation
assessment as we were able to identify quality issues if any, and validate expiry dates
of products.

• We assessed the appropriateness of the determination of inventory cost by assessing
the accuracy of the standard costing used by the Company and assessing the
recognition of variances from standard costs.

• We assessed whether inventory is recognised at the lower of cost or net realisable
value at period end by comparing the inventory value measured at cost to audit
evidence supporting net realisable value such as the current selling price of the
products and achieved margins.

• We assessed whether the provisions for obsolescence calculated by the Company
reflect known quality issues if any, and commercial considerations including product
expiration, market demand, manufacturing plans, as well as their compliance with
Ind AS 2 and consistent application from prior periods.

As per the principles of Revenue recognition set out in the
Accounting Standards involves certain key judgments relating
to the identification of distinct performance obligations,
determination of transaction price of the identified performance
obligations, the appropriateness of the basis used to measure
revenue recognised over a period. Additionally, the revenue
accounting standard contains disclosures that involve collation
of information in respect of disaggregated revenue and periods
over which the remaining performance obligations will be
satisfied subsequent to the balance sheet date.

(Refer Note No. 1B(n), 25 to the Standalone Financial
Statements).

Our audit approach includes:

• Testing the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls associated
with contracts with customers.

• Analysing contracts with customers from selected samples.

• Analysing invoices with customers from selected samples.

• Testing of the approval mechanism, access and change controls associated with the
price.

• Reviewing the report of Internal Auditors.

• Performance of analytical procedures for reasonableness of the estimates.

Other Information

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of
the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Company''s Annual Report but does not include the
Standalone Financial Statements, Consolidated Financial Statements
and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover
the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so, consider
whether other information is materially inconsistent with Standalone
Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of
our 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
the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibilities 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, total comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS
specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also
includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial
controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true
and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, 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 Board of Directors
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s
financial reporting process.

Auditor’s 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

(a) 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.

(b) 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 system with reference
to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.

(d) Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going
concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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 auditor''s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.

(e) 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the Standalone Financial
Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that
the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the
Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope
of our audit work and in evaluating the results of the work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone
Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement
that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements of the financial year ended March 31,
2025 and are therefore Key Audit Matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor''s reports unless law or regulations precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Auditor’s 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

(a) 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.

(b) 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 system with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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 auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

(e) 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of the work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the financial year ended March 31, 2024 and are therefore Key Audit Matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s reports unless law or regulations precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor’s Response

1

Accounting of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosures of revenues and other related balances in view of applicability of Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Revenue Accounting Standard)

The application of the revenue accounting standard involves certain key judgments relating to the identification of distinct performance obligations, determination of transaction price of the identified performance obligations, the appropriateness of the basis used to measure revenue recognised over a period. Additionally, the revenue accounting standard contains disclosures that involve collation of information in respect of disaggregated revenue and periods over which the remaining performance obligations will be satisfied subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Principal Audit Procedures

We assessed the Company''s process to identify the impact of the revenue accounting standard.

Our audit approach consisted of testing the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls and substantive testing as follows:

• Evaluated the design of internal controls relating to the implementation of the revenue accounting standard.

• Selected a sample of continuing and new contracts, and tested the operating effectiveness of the internal control, relating to identification of the distinct performance obligations and determination of transaction price. We carried out a combination of procedures involving inquiry and observation, reperformance, and inspection of evidence in respect of the operation of these controls.

• Tested the relevant information technology systems'' access and change in management controls relating to contracts and related information used in recording and disclosing revenue in accordance with the revenue accounting standard.

• Recognition of Export Incentives as per the terms of the Schemes have been evaluated.

System environment and internal controls:

Impact of change in the Accounting Sotware( TCS Ion to SAP ) on the Company’s bookkeeping and control.

The Company''s key financial accounting and reporting processes are highly dependent on the automated controls. The Company has a complex system environment, reflecting the different nature of the different operating activities. The Company has renewed its system landscape, with the Migration from TCS Ion to SAP during the year for better control and tracking.

The implementation of new systems, together with the complex system environment introduce risks related to system access, change management and data transfer between the different systems, and we have accordingly designated this as a focus area in the audit.

Management has mitigated this risk by means of manual controls.

We assessed the company''s process to identify, assess, and respond to the risk of

material misstatement considering the uncertainties and the impact of Migration

from TCS ion to SAP on the company''s book keeping for the year under consideration.

We have designed, planned, and performed the following audit procedures

• Testing the system implementations included both the testing of the controls surrounding implementation as well as testing the migration of income statement and balance sheet balances between legacy systems and the new system.

• Evaluating the impact on inventory management and cost allocation to inventory on account of change in the manner of computation and apportionment of overhead costs post such migration.

• Ascertaining the differences in the classification of Account Balances in the books and ensuring proper presentation in the Financial Statements of the Company.

• Verified the impact of the same on product Groups and subgroups, Product Price lists, supplier / customer master.

• Treatment of open invoices, Bills, purchase order and sale orders and other opening account balances have been evaluated.

• Our response to the risks related to the complex system environment includes both the test of IT and business process controls. We also performed sufficient tests of details as part of our audit.

• We also tested the company''s controls around system interfaces, and the transfer of data from one Software to another keeping in mind the key financial reporting controls.

Verification and Valuation of Inventory in accordance to the financial statements’ accounting principles on inventories - IND AS 2:

The company has significant inventory balances in both the Manufacturing as well as trading segments. Inventory management, stocktaking routines and costing of inventories are underlying key factors in determining the value of inventories.According to the financial statements'' accounting principles inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Due to Size and complexity of the inventory valuation and Verification of inventories is considered as a key audit matter

Our audit procedures related to valuation and verification of inventories included:

• Assessing the compliance of company''s accounting policies over inventory with applicable accounting standards.

• Assessing the inventory valuation processes and practices. On major locations we tested the effectiveness of the key controls

• Assessing functionality of the key IT systems of inventory management.

• Testing of controls over inventory management and accuracy of inventory amounts.

• Performing tests on selected inventory items to relevant components of valuation.

• Evaluate management''s instructions and procedures for recording and controlling the results of the entity''s physical inventory counting;

• Observe the performance of management''s count procedures

• Inspect the inventory; and perform test counts

In addition, we assessed the appropriateness of the Company''s disclosures in

respect of inventory valuation.

Information other than the financial statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the standalone financial statements

The 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 state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, 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.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 explaining our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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 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 auditor''s report.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing

so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure - A to the Independent Auditors’ Report

In conjunction with our audit of the Financial Statements of the Company for the financial year ended MarcRs.31, 2018, we have audited the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting of Caplin Point Laboratories Limited.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 MarcRs.2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

Referred to in paragrapRs.2 under ‘Report On Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report to the members of Caplin Point Laboratories Limited of even date:

i) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.

The Company has a regular programme of physical verification of its fixed assets, by which all fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over a period of three years. In our opinion, this periodicity of physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Pursuant to the programme, a portion of the fixed assets were physically verified during the year and no material discrepancies were noticed on such verification.

The title deeds of immovable properties included in fixed assets are held in the name of the Company. In respect of immovable properties been taken on lease and disclosed as property, plant and equipment in the standalone Ind AS financial statements, the lease agreements are in the name of the Company.

ii) The inventory has been physically verified by the management during the year. In our opinion, the frequency of such verification is reasonable. The Company has maintained proper records of inventory. The discrepancies noticed on verification between the physical stock and the book records were not material.

iii) The Company has not granted any loans, secured or unsecured to companies, firms, limited liability partnerships or other parties covered in the register maintained under section 189 of the Act, 2013.

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

In conjunction with our audit of the Financial Statements of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2017, we have audited the Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting of Caplin Point Laboratories Limited.

The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors'' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

Explanatory paragraph

We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, the financial statements of the Company, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2017, and the related Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and our report dated May 10, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion.
