We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements
of NECTAR LIFESCIENCES LIMITED (the âCompanyâ), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025, the Statement of
Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows
for the year ended on that date and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter
referred to as the âstandalone financial statementsâ).
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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (âInd ASâ) and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2025 and its profit, total comprehensive
income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (âSAâs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Act. 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 made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence
obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Attention is drawn to para 34 of the notes to accounts to the financial
statements, where the management has decided to mark down the
realizable value of non-current inventory based on assumptions
based on ageing and realizable values. The realizable value after
such mark down is as per managements estimates and we have
relied on the same. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this.
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. In our opinion, there is no
Key Audit Matter to be reported.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Business
Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs
Information, but does not include the consolidated financial
statements, 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with
the 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 that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are 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, including
other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 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
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Companyâs financial reporting process.
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 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 standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evident 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 financial 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 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 the 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 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 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
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 misstatements 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 our 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 current period
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditorâs 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.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of NECTAR LIFESCIENCES LIMITED (âthe Companyâ) as on 31 March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs 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 (âICAI''). 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.
Auditorsâ 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 âGuidance Noteâ) 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 auditors'' 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 the 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 in adequate because of change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedure 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 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
