In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the âActâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2025, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 (âICAIâ) 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. There are no key audit matters to be disclosed.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Companyâs 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 Standalone Financial Statements and our auditorâs 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) 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 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, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 auditorâs 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 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.

Report on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of LYKA LABS LIMITED (âthe Companyâ) which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended (in which are incorporated the accounts of the Companyâs branch at Ankleshwar audited by another auditor after making such changes as were considered necessary for the purpose of incorporation), and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134 (5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed 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 Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements based on our audit. In conducting our audit, we have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financials in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143 (10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companyâs Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. Interest on Borrowings:
Attention is drawn to Note no. 47 of the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements regarding reversal of interest on term loan from two banks provided for the period from April 2017 to September 2017 amounting to Rs 469.92 Lakhs and non- provision of interest on term loan from said two banks for the period from October 2017 to March 2018 amounting to Rs 471.64 Lakhs, aggregating to Rs 941.56 Lakhs.
Further the company has reversed Interest expenses for earlier years for the period from February 2016 to March 2017 amounting to Rs 344.35 Lakhs.
Further there is non-provision of penal interest on term loan from two banks and working capital limit from one bank amounting to Rs 80.04 Lakhs.
These non-provisions/reversals of provision for interest is not in compliance with Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments.
Accordingly loss for the year is understated by Rs. 1365.95 Lakhs.
2. Inventories:
Inventories include slow/non-moving raw material and packing materials procured during the earlier years amounting to Rs. 174.06 Lakhs as on 31st March 2018, which are valued at cost (Refer Note no. 44 of Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements). This is not in accordance with Ind AS 2 Inventories, which requires such inventories to be valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Accordingly, we are unable to quantify the impact of increase in the loss for the year ended 31st March, 2018.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of report of the branch auditor provided to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the aforesaid I nd AS Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2018, its loss, its changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.
Emphasis of Matters
1. Pledged shares of a Director encashed by a Lender
We draw attention to Note No 41 regarding claims from a Director aggregating to Rs. 128.25 Lakhs being the value of equity shares of the Company pledged as security.
2. Scheme of Arrangements
We draw attention to Note No.42 (a) & (b) regarding the status of the schemes of arrangement with Lyka Exports Limited and Lyka Healthcare Limited.
3. Capital Expenditure:
We draw attention to Note No.43 (ii) regarding the review of the portfolio of products under development and applied research.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of all these matters.
Other Matters
We did not audit the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements of a Branch included in the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements of the Company, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 8575.88 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2018 as well as total revenues of Rs. 3669.48 Lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on these Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this branch, is based solely on the report of such auditor.
The audit of Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2017, was carried out and reported by predecessor auditor, vide their modified audit report dated 29th May, 2017, whose report has been furnished to us by the management and which has been relied upon by us for the purpose of our audit of the standalone IndAS Financial Statements.
Our audit report is not qualified in respect of this matters.

Annexure - B to the Auditorâs Report
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of LYKA LABS LIMITED (âthe Companyâ) as of 31st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs 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 (âICAIâ). 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 Companyâs 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 Act.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs 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 âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act 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 ICAI. 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 auditorâs 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 Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A Companyâs 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 Companyâs 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 expenditure of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companyâs 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us and based on consideration of report of another auditor, as referred to in the Other Matters paragraph, 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 31st March 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.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting is so far as it relates to financial statements of a branch of the Company is based on the corresponding reports of the auditor of such branch.

Chartered Accountants
Firm Registration No. 107556W
Mukul Patel
Place : Mumbai Partner
Date : 27th May, 2016 Membership No. 32489
Jun 30, 2015
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of LYKA LABS
LIMITED (the Company), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at June 30
2015, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for
the year ended on that date (in which are incorporated the accounts of
the company's branches at Ankleshwar and Tarapur audited by other
auditor's after making such changes as were considered necessary for
the purpose of incorporation), and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Director is responsible for the matters stated
in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provision 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.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provision of the Act, the accounting and
auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the
audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there
under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's
preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
We draw attention to Note No.28 relating to non compliance of the
provisions of Section 74 of the Companies Act, 2013 to the extent of
such non repayment of overdue Fixed Deposits.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial
statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at June 30, 2015;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit for
the year ended on that date; and;
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Reason for Qualification
The Company has not been able to repay overdue Fixed Deposits
aggregating to Rs, 108,586,000 and interest due thereon Rs, 14,889,768
up to 30th June, 2015. Consequently, the Company has not complied with
provision of Section 74 of the Companies Act, 2013 to the extent of
such non repayment of overdue Fixed Deposits. Hence we have qualified
the same. The liability, if any arising on account of delayed
payments/non-payment of dues will be provided for in the year in which
finality is reached .

substantial investments by:- (a) The Company sold its manufacturing
facilities for formulations at Tarapur, Maharashtra (Refer Note No. 31)
(b) Infusion of funds by promoters through subscription of Preferential
issue of convertible warrants.
(c) Expanding business volumes.

policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company''s Management is responsible for the preparation of these

internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness

(i) In respect of its Fixed Assets:
(a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars,
including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets except for
Ankleshwar Division.

of its assets. The discrepancies noticed on such verification which are
not material have been suitably dealt with in the books of account.

disposed off during the period hence the question of affecting the
going concern status of the Company does not arise.
(ii) In respect of its Inventories:

period by the management at regular intervals except the inventories
lying with the third parties from whom confirmations have been

followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to
the size of the Company and the nature of its business.

the period and the period end balance is Rs. 10,000,000 and Rs. Nil

considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
