INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'' REPORT

To

The Members of Gufic Biosciences Limited
Report on the Financial Statements
Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Gufic Biosciences Limited (‘the Company''), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2023, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flow for the year then ended, and a 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 (the "Act”) 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, ("Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2023, 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 financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibility 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the 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 ICAI''s 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 financial statements.

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 auditors'' 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 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 for the 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 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 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility 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 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 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. 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.

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.

2. Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section l34(5) of the Companies Act, 20l3 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified Section l33 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 20l5, as amended. 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3. 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 statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, specified under Section l43(l0) 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 the 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 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

4. Basis for Qualified Opinion

(a) During the year the company has switched over to new ERP system on account of GST implementation, which has been implemented in stages and only certain modules are operational, accuracy of which are yet to be tested by management. The audited financial statements for the year ended March 3l, 20l8 has been compiled from primary as well subsidiary or other records maintained by the management pending testing of accuracy of newly introduced ERP system. As a result, Debtors ledger control accounts and accounts as per subsidiary records are under reconciliation. We are unable to ascertain the impact on the financial statements of the company pending such reconciliation. (Refer Note No. 55)

(b) We have not participated in physical verification inventories of raw material, packing material, finished goods, work in progress goods, stock in trade.

(Refer Note No.49)

(c) Amount of Rs. 124.04 lakhs (2016 - 2017: Rs. 124.04 lakhs) has been shown as recoverable relating to the misappropriation done by the employee of the company in the earlier years. However, no provision has been made against the said amount as the management has initiated legal steps for the recovery of the said amount and is confident of recovery. In our opinion the recovery of the amount is doubtful and consequently the profit is over stated by Rs. l24.04 lakhs (20l6 - 20l7: Rs. l24.04 lakhs) with consequential impact on Shareholders Fund and other non-current assets which are over stated by the said amount. (Refer Note 54).

(d) Balance of Trade Receivable, loans & advances, Employee Advance, Trade Payable and Security and Trade Deposits from Agents and Stockists, are subject to confirmations, verification and adjustments necessary upon reconciliation thereof. Adjustments required upon such confirmations, if any, are not ascertainable and hence not provided for.

(e) We have not been provided with reconciliation of purchase, sales, input credits shown in books of account with GST return filed by the company. Hence, we are unable to comment on effect of the same on the financial statements of the company pending such reconciliation.

The cumulative impact of the above said modification on the standalone financial statement are not ascertainable, except para 4© where the profit is over stated by Rs. I24.04 lakhs.

ANNEXURE: B REFERRED TO IN PARA 14(g) OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF GUFIC BIOSCIENCES LIMITED

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Gufic Biosciences Limited (the “Company”) as of March 3I, 20I8 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended on that date.

2. 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, 20I3.

3. Auditors’ Responsibility: Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.

We have 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 I43(I0) of the Companies Act, 20I3, 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 to the extent applicable.

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 judgement, 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 Qualified audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

4. 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 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.

5. 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.

6. Qualified opinion: According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at March 3I, 20I8:

The company did not have an appropriate internal control system in respect of:

a) for review of Trade Receivables, other recoverable including loans and advances,Trade Payable and Security and Trade Deposits from Agents and Stockists, obtaining their confirmations and reconciliation of their outstanding balances with the books of accounts. This could potentially affect the balance in the trade receivable, other recoverable, trade payable, Security Deposit account and income and expenses account balances.

b) for reconciliation of purchase, sales, input credits shown in books of account with GST return filed by the company. This could potentially affect the income, expenses and receivable account balances.

c) segregation of duties to effectively monitor and operate the control of depositing undisputed statutory dues including Provident Fund, Income Tax, TDS, Sales-Tax, Wealth tax, VAT, duty of customs, Service tax, Cess and other material undisputed statutory dues with the appropriate authorities. This could potentially result in levy of interest and other penal provisions of statutes and have a significant impact on functioning of the Company.

d) There is a material weakness with regard to control over advances given to suppliers for goods and services. The controls with regard to subsequent settlement of advances are ineffective and as a result many parties to whom advances have been given are very old and remain unsettled. Further there is no control system over confirmation and reconciliation of balance with parties. These could potentially result in write off of advances and have an impact on financial statements of the Company.

e) The company during the year has implemented the new ERP system in stages and only certain modules are operational, accuracy of which are yet to be testes by the management. The system control requires strengthening, so that complete and accurate reports generated can be relied upon.

A ‘material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

7. Opinion: In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 3I, 20I8, 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.

8. We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 3I, 20I8 and these material weaknesses do not affect our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company, other than qualification reported by us in our Independent Audit Report.

However, no provision has been made against the said amount as the management has initiated steps for the recovery of the said amount and is confident of recovery In our opinion the recovery of the amount is doubtful and consequently the profit is over stated by Rs, 124.04 lakhs (2015 - 2016: Rs, 124.04 lakhs) with consequential impact on Shareholders Fund and other non-current assets which are over stated by the said amount.

ANNEXURE: B REFERRED TO IN PARA 14(g) OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF GUFIC BIOSCIENCES LIMITED

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Gufic Biosciences Limited (the “Company”) as of March 3l, 20l7 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended on that date.

2. 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, 20l3.

3. Auditors'' Responsibility: Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We have 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 l43(l0) of the Companies Act, 20l3, 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 to the extent applicable.

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 Qualified audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

4. 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 (l) 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.

5. 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.

6. Qualified opinion: According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at March 3l, 20l7:

The company did not have an appropriate internal control system:

a) for review of debtors, other recoverable including loans and advances and creditors outstanding balances, obtaining their confirmations and reconciliation of their outstanding balances with the books of accounts. This could potentially affect the balance in the trade receivable, other recoverable, trade payable, income and expenses account balances.

b) for timely payment of statutory due, which could potentially give rise to liabilities.

A ‘material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

7. Opinion: In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 3l, 20l7, 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.

8. We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 3l, 20l7 and these material weaknesses do not affect our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company, other than qualification reported by us in our Independent Audit Report.

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.

7. We are unable to express our opinion on recoverability of debts of Rs.. 151.48 lakhs (2013 – 2014 Rs.. 326.69 lakhs) which are outstanding for more than one year and advances of Rs.. 23.08 lakhs shown under the head long term loans and advances as at Balance sheet date (2013 - 2014: Rs.. 40.14 lakhs), which are outstanding for more than 2 years.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Gufic Biosciences 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 Responsibility for the Financial Statements

4. 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.
