Report on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) financial statements of JHS Svendgaard Laboratories Limited (âthe Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS 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 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 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone Ind AS 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 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Company''s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Basis for Qualified opinion
As mentioned in Note No. 35 to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, the Company has recognized net income amounting to Rs.2727.21 lacs during the year ended 31 March 2018 on account of compensation received pursuant to the Settlement Agreement dated 28 March 2017, instead of recognizing the same in the year ended 31 March 2017. This constitutes a material departure from the Indian Accounting Standards(Ind AS) referred to in Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. Consequently, the exceptional income for the year ended 31 March 2018 is overstated and for the year ended 31 March 2017 is understated by Rs 2727.21 lacs. Had the Company followed the correct accounting, the net profit after tax for the year ended 31 March 2018 would have been reduced by Rs 1883.56 lacs and increased by the same amount for the year ended 31 March 2017, the carrying amount of other current assets as at the previous year ended 31 March 2017 would have increased by Rs 2475 lacs, deferred tax assets (net) as at the previous year ended 31 March 2017 would have been reduced by Rs 843.65 lacs as at the previous year ended 31 March 2017 and other equity would have increased by Rs 1883.56 lacs as at the previous year ended 31 March 2017. This was a matter of qualification in the previous year as well.
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 matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the aforesaid standalone Ind AS 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 including the Ind AS, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2018, and its profits (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of JHS Svendgaard Laboratories Limited (âthe Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on Internal financial controls 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. 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 the company''s 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 Act.
Auditors'' Responsibility
3. 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 Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (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 were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the Internal financial controls 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. 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 over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. A company''s Internal financial controls 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 controls 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 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 company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
7. 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 Internal financial controls 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
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on Internal financial controls 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.

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of JHS
Svendgaard Laboratories Limited(the "Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and
Loss,the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directorsis 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 underSection 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 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
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 of 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
i) The Company has entered into "One Time Settlement" (OTS) of dues
with its lender banks.As a result, the lenders have agreed to waive the
principal amount on term loan facilities amounting to Rs.
30,82,89,217and such amount is credited to Capital Reserve which is not
in accordance with the Accounting Standard (AS) 5 on "Net Profit or
Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting
Policies".Further, the said treatment is not in line with the opinion
of the Expert Advisory Committee of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India on accounting treatment of waiver of loan.
Had the said waiver of principal amount of loan been credited to the
Statement of Profit and Loss instead of the credit in Capital Reserve
Account, the loss for the year amounting to Rs. 22,13,91,633 would
result in profit of Rs.8,68,97,584 and deficit in the Statement of
Profit & Loss under the head 'Reserves & Surplus' would have been
Rs.7,45,88,944 instead of Rs. 38,28,78,160 as stated.
ii) In earlier years the Company had acquired substantial tangible
fixed assets to carry out contract manufacturing for a major customer.
Such major customer has not renewed/terminated the contract resulting
in some idle fixed assets. This and other internal factors indicate
that the part of tangible fixed assets comprising plant & machinery
which are carried in the books at a written down value of Rs
31,86,11,888 (Previous year Rs. 35,43,87,177) may be impaired. However,
the management has not carried out any testing for impairment as
required by Accounting Standard (AS) 28 "Impairment of

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of JHS Svendgaard
Laboratories Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at March 31, 2014, and the 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.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is
responsible for 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 the Accounting
Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the
Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control 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 conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 auditors'' 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 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, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company''s
internal control. 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
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
(a) Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. However, the Company has been incurring operating and cash
losses, has defaulted in repayment of laons and interest due to banks,
there have been delays in payment of statutory dues, salaries to
employees and payment to vendors and has negative working capital.
Further, there has been termination of contract by a major customer of
the Company resulting in idel fixed assets. Such factors create
substantial double about the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of such uncertainty.
(b) Impairement of Assets-AS 28
During earlier years, the Company had acquired substantial tangile
fixed assets to carry out contract manufacturing for a major customer.
Such major customer has terminated the contract resulting in some idle
fixed assets. This and other interinal factors indicate that the part
of tangible fixed assets comprising plant & machinery which are being
carried in the books at a written down value of ''354,387,177 (Previous
year ''388,169,870) may be impaired. However, the management has not
carried out any testing for impairement as required by Accounting
Standard 28. Accordingly we are unable to comment on the necessity or
otherwise to provide for an impairement loss in respect of these
tangible assets as required by Accounting Standard 28. The effect of
the non-provision of the impairment loss on assets, if any, cannot be
quantified.
(c) Confirmations
The confirmations from the some of the legal counsels engaged by the
Company in connection with matters related to indirect tax and other
matters including cases filed against the Company were not available
for our verification. Accordingly, we are unable to comment on outcome
of such matters and the consequential impact, if any, on the reported
amounts of contingent liabilities and necessity of any provision
required to be recorded.
Trade payables balance amounting to ''23,978,283 due to nine parties are
subject to confirmation and reconciliation, if any, and accordingly we
were unable to confirm or verify by alternative means such trade
payables included in the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014. Qualified
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except for the effects fo the matter
discribed in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragrah, 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 March 31,2014;
b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the

the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control 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

with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about

selected depend on the auditors'' judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether

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

statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
