We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Samrat Pharmachem Limited (''the Company''), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, the Statement of Profit & Loss (including the Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity of the Company for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements including summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âActâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) rules, 2015 as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs (financial position) of the Company as at 31st March 2024, and its profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules there under, 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 financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 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.
We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
a) Revenue Recognition :
The Company has adopted âInd-AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customersâ which is the revenue accounting standard. The application and transition to this accounting standard is complex and is an area of focus in the audit.
⢠Revenue for the Company consists primarily of sale of manufactured goods recognized as per the accounting policy described in Note 2.13 to the accompanying financial statements.
⢠The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods when it satisfies its performance obligation, in accordance with the principles of Ind-AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, adopted by the Company from the current year, by transferring the control of goods to its customers through delivery evidenced by acknowledgement of receipt of goods by such customers.
⢠Considering the large volume of revenue transactions near period end there may be a risk of revenue recognition occurring before the satisfaction of the performance obligations by the company in accordance with the applicable Incoterms.
⢠Considering the above factors, revenue recognition was identified as a key audit matter for the current year audit.
Principal Audit Procedure
Our audit work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
⢠Obtained an understanding of the revenue and receivable business process, and assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policy adopted by the company for revenue recognition.
⢠Evaluated design and implementation of the key controls around revenue recognition including controls around contract approvals, invoice verification, transporter confirmations and customer acknowledgements.
⢠Tested operating effectiveness of the above identified key controls over revenue recognition near period end.
⢠For samples selected from revenue recorded during specific period, before and after year end:
o Verified the customer contracts for delivery terms.
o Verified the customer acknowledgements to evidence proof of delivery for domestic sales at or near period end o tradcked shipments through bill of lading for export sales
⢠Tested the appropriateness of the disclosures made in the financial statements for revenue recorded during the year. Key Observations
⢠Based on our audit work, we did not identify any evidence of material misstatement in the revenue recognised in the year ended on 31 March 2024.
The company is in the pharmaceutical industry which is heavily regulated, resulting in increased exposure to litigation risk. These provisions are based on judgement and incorporated accounting estimates by management in determining the likelihood and magnitude of an unfavorable outcome on the claims.
Evaluating the design and testing the operating effectiveness of controls in respect of the recognition and measurement of provisions towards litigation and claims in compliance with Ind-AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Corroborating managementâs assessment by
⢠making enquiries with the in-house/outsourced legal counsel of the company;
⢠verifying correspondence, orders and appeals in respect of open litigation;
⢠Obtaining confirmations from external legal counsels where relevant and/ or evaluating legal opinions obtained by the management.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises of Management Reports such as Boardâs Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Corporate Governance Report and Business Responsibility Report, but does not include the Financial Statements and our Auditorsâ Report thereon which we obtained prior to the date of this Auditorâs Report, and the remaining section of the Companyâs Annual Report, which are expected to be made available to us after that date.
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 or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditorâs Report, 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.
When we read the other sections of Annual Report (other than those mentioned above), if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the applicable laws and regulations.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ''Act'') with respect to the preparation and presentation of these 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 relevant rules issued thereunder.
This responsibility also includes the 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 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 Management and Board of Directors are 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.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 in the financial statements made by the Management and Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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.
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
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 auditorsâ 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 accompanying financial statements of Samrat
Pharmachem Limited ("the Company"), which comprise of the Balance Sheet
as at March 31, 2015, and the Statement of Profit and Loss, and Cash
Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134 (5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the 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
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 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
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 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by 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
