Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31st March, 2023, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (in which are included the financial statements of erstwhile Curatio Health Care (I) Private Limited (CHPL) as at 31st March, 2023 and for the period from 14th October, 2022 to 31st March, 2023 audited by other auditor, pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement in the nature of Amalgamation of CHPL with the Company which has been approved by the National Company Law Tribunal vide its order dated 17th May, 2023 with the appointed date of 14th October, 2022) (hereinafter together referred to as standalone financial statements).

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 other auditor on separate financial statements of CHPL as at 31st March, 2023 and for the period from 14th October, 2022 to 31st March, 2023 as were audited by the other auditor, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“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, 2023, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s 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 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 obtained by us along with the consideration of the report of the other auditor referred to in paragraph(a) of the “Other Matter” section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.

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 standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment Testing of Goodwill

See Note 4.8.2, 8 and 9 to standalone financial statements

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated may be impaired.

We identified the annual impairment assessment of goodwill as a key audit matter because the assessment process is complex and judgmental by nature and is based on assumptions on:

• projected future cash inflows;

• expected growth rate and profitability;

• discount rate;

• perpetuity value based on long term growth rate;

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Testing operating effectiveness of controls over determination of the recoverable amounts of cash generating units. Cash generating units for this purpose are those to which the goodwill is allocated;

• Evaluating the model used in determining the recoverable value of the cash generating units;

• Assessing the reasonableness of prior period cash flow forecasts of the Company by reference to actual performance to assess forecast accuracy;

• Challenging the significant assumptions and judgements used in impairment analysis, such as forecast revenue, margins, long term growth and discount rates in comparison to economic and industry forecasts with the assistance of our valuations specialist;

• Performing sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions, such as future revenue growth rates, future gross margins, and the discount rate used in determining the recoverable value;

• Evaluating the adequacy of disclosures, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgements and sensitivities.

Business combination - Purchase Price Allocation for acquisition of Curatio Health Care (I) Private Limited

See Note 4.2.1 and 42 to standalone financial statements

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

On 14th October, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity shares of Curatio Health Care (I) Private Limited (“Curatio”) and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Curatio Inc., Philippines and Curatio International Lanka (PVT) Ltd., Sri Lanka. The purchase price amounted to ''2,000 crores.

Subsequently, the Company filed a Scheme of Arrangement in the nature of Amagamation (''Scheme'') with the National Company Law Tribunal (''NCLT'') for merger of Curatio with the Company. The Scheme was approved by the NCLT on 17th May, 2023, with an appointed date of 14th October, 2022.

The acquisition is accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 103 Business Combinations.

The assets, liabilities including the identifiable intangible assets acquired are stated at their fair values which are determined in the course of the purchase price allocation performed. The excess of acquisition cost over the identified fair value of recognised assets and liabilities is recognised as goodwill.

This results in the net assets measured at fair value aggregating to ''1,920.40 crores and goodwill of ''79.60 crores.

The purchase price allocation has been performed by an independent valuer and requires the management and the Board of Directors to make various estimates and assumptions.

Due to the matter described, we considered the business combination and in particular the purchase price allocation as a key audit matter in our audit.

Our audit procedures included the

following:

• Reading the share purchase agreement, the approved scheme of merger and other related documents to obtain an understanding of the acquisition and the key terms and conditions;

• Evaluating the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of the relevant internal controls over accounting for business combination;

• Evaluating the competence, capabilities, and objectivity of the independent valuer appointed by management. Along with our valuation specialist evaluated the reasonableness of methodology and key assumptions used by management and the independent valuer to measure the assets and liabilities at their fair values;

• Assessing the adequacy and appropriateness of accounting and disclosures made in accordance with Ind AS 103 Business Combinations.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor’s report(s) 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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/ audit report of other auditor, 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.

Management''s and Board of Directors'' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s 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 state of affairs, profit and 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) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the Companies are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of each 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, the respective Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of each Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each Company.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

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 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 standalone 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 standalone 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 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 in preparation of standalone financial statements 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 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 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 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.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of CHPL to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. For the financial statements of CHPL included in the standalone financial statements, which has been audited by other auditor, such other auditor remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in paragraph (a) of the section titled “Other Matter” in this audit report.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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 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.

Other Matter

a. We did not audit the financial statements of CHPL (component) included in the standalone financial statements of the Company whose financial statements reflect total assets of ''171.12 crores as at 31st March, 2023 and total revenue of ''126.35 crores and net cash outflows amounting to ''50.61 crores for the period from 14th October, 2022 to 31st March, 2023, as considered in the standalone financial statements. The financial statements of this component have been audited by the other auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this component, and our report in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, in so far as it relates to this component is based solely on the report of such other auditor.

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31st March, 2021, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the 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 standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“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, 2021, and profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s 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 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 on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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 standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of Key Audit Matters

1. Impairment testing of goodwill [Refer Note 4.8.2, 8 and 9 to the Standalone Financial Statements]

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 4.8.2 to the standalone financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated may be impaired.

We identified the annual impairment assessment of goodwill as a key audit matter because the assessment process is complex and judgemental by nature and is based on assumptions on:

- projected future cash inflows;

- expected growth rate and profitability;

- discount rate;

- perpetuity value based on long-term growth rate;

- sensitivity analyses;

Our audit procedures in respect of impairment testing of goodwill included the following:

• Testing operating effectiveness of controls over determination of the recoverable amounts of cash generating units. Cash generating units for this purpose are those to which the goodwill is allocated;

• Evaluating the model used in determining the value in use of the cash generating units;

• Assessing the accuracy of prior period cash flow forecasts of the Company by reference to actual performance to assess forecast accuracy;

• Challenging the significant assumptions and judgements used in impairment analysis, such as forecast revenue, margins, long-term growth and discount rates in comparison to economic and industry forecasts with the assistance of our valuations specialist, especially in light of the existing economic situation due to COVID-19;

• Performing sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions, such as future revenue growth rates, future gross margins, and the discount rate used in determining the recoverable value;

• Evaluating the adequacy of disclosures, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgements and sensitivities.

2. Recognition and measurement of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit Entitlement - Deferred tax assets (Refer Note 4.13 and 22 to the Standalone Financial Statements):

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company pays minimum alternate tax (MAT) under Section 115JB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The MAT paid would be available as an offset over a period of 15 years. As disclosed in Note 22 to the Standalone Financial Statements, the MAT credit is recognised as a deferred tax asset. The utilisation of this asset will be through offsetting it when the Company pays taxes under the provision of Income Tax Act, 1961. The Company is required to reassess recognition of MAT credit asset at each reporting date.

The Company has recognised MAT credit assets based on the probability of income tax payable on future taxable profits against which such MAT credit assets can be offset before they expire. The recognition is based on the projected profitability. This is determined based on approved business plans.

Recognition and measurement of such deferred tax assets has been identified as a key audit matter because the assessment process involves significant judgement regarding the forecasts of future income tax. The realisation of these assets will be through such income tax within the time limits available under the applicable Income tax laws. The assessment process is based on assumptions affected by expected future market or economic conditions.

In respect of MAT credit assets, we assessed recognition and

measurement by performing the following procedures:

• Evaluating the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the relevant internal controls over recognition and measurement of MAT credit assets and underlying data;

• Obtaining the approved business plans, projected profitability statements;

• Challenging the assumptions used regarding future business plans and taxable profit in light of fiscal developments, current economic environment in light of COVID-19 related situation and prior performance in determining the recoverability of MAT credit assets recognised within the period available under applicable Income tax laws;

• Performing sensitivity analysis;

• Testing the computation of amounts recognised as deferred tax assets on MAT credit;

• Focusing on the disclosures on MAT credit assets and assumptions used.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ 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 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.

Management''s and Board of Directors’ Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s 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 state of affairs, profit and 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) specified 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring 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, the Management and Board of Directors are 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 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 Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

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 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 standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism 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 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 standalone 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 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 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 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 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.

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 auditors’ 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by the Companies (Auditors’ Report) Order, 2016 (“the Order”) issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 143 (11) of the Act, we give in the “Annexure A” a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2019, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “standalone financial statements”).

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 (‘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 31 March 2019, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s 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 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 judgement, 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 standalone 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 matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. revenue recognition

The Key audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

- The Company provides a right of return to its customers as a customary business practice. These arrangements result in deductions to gross amounts invoiced. The initial revenue recognition is reduced taking into consideration the anticipated sales returns.

- Refer note 4.12 of the financial statements for details on accounting policy on revenue recognition.

- Due to the Company’s presence across different regions and the competitive business environment, the estimation of anticipated sales returns is material and considered to be complex and judgemental. Management has determined an accrual of Rs.149.50 crores to be necessary as at 31 March 2019 (31 March 2018: Rs.140.47 crores).

in view of the significance of the matter we applied following

procedures :

- assessed the appropriateness of the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies by comparing with applicable accounting standards.

- assessed and tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of management key controls over the Company’s systems relating to the deductions made to gross sales for anticipated sales returns including those controls over accrual rates used for calculations of provision for sales returns.

- performed testing by selecting samples relating to sales returns recorded during the year and comparing the parameters used in the calculation with the relevant source documents.

- compared the assumptions to current trends of sales returns. We have also considered the historical accuracy of the Company’s estimates as well as current trends of sales return.

- considered the adequacy of the disclosures in respect of revenue.

2. assessment of recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and investment in subsidiaries

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As at 31 March 2019, the Company has Rs. 4,386.79 crores of acquired brands under intangible assets and related goodwill of Rs. 209.34 crores. In addition, the Company has Rs. 132.78 crores of investment in subsidiaries. The carrying value of goodwill, acquired brands, and investment in subsidiaries will be recovered through future cash flows and there is inherent risk that these assets will be impaired if these cash flows do not meet the Company’s expectations. Refer to note 4.8, 7 and 8 in the Standalone Financial Statements for details of accounting policies on impairment of assets and related disclosures.

Valuation of goodwill, acquired brands and investment in subsidiaries is a key audit matter due to:

-The inherent complexity in auditing the forward looking assumptions applied to recoverable value given the significant judgements involved. The key assumptions in the cash flow models include the forecast revenue, margins, terminal growth and discount rates.

We focused on brands acquired through historical acquisitions and related goodwill, as these are the most significant individually and in aggregate.

in view of the significance of the matter we applied following

procedures :

- tested operating effectiveness of controls over the review of the impairment analysis.

- assessed the accuracy of prior period cash flow forecasts of the Company by reference to actual performance.

- using our knowledge of the Company and industry, challenged the significant assumptions and judgements incorporated in impairment analysis specifically in relation to forecast revenue, margins, terminal growth and discount rates with the assistance of our valuations specialist;

- performed sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions, including future revenue growth rates, future gross margins, and the discount rate applied in the recoverable value and considering the resulting impact on the impairment testing and whether selection of these key assumptions is appropriate;

- evaluated the adequacy of disclosures, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgements and sensitivities.

3. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit Entitlement - Deferred tax assets:

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company pays minimum alternate tax (MAT) under section 115JB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The MAT paid would be available as an offset over a period of 15 years. The MAT credit is recognized as a deferred tax asset to be available for offset when the Company pays taxes under the provision of Income Tax Act, 1961. The balance of MAT credit receivable as at 31 March 2019 is Rs. 721.82 crores (refer note 20 to the standalone financial statements).

The recognition and recoverability of deferred tax asset on account of MAT credit requires significant judgement regarding the Company’s future profitability and taxable income which will result in utilization of the MAT credit within the time limits available under the applicable Income tax laws.

in respect of such deferred tax assets, we assessed recoverability from a tax perspective by performing the following procedures:

- understanding why the MAT credit entitlement arose and understanding whether the MAT credit entitlement can be utilized

- assessing any restriction in use of the MAT credit entitlement and

- determining when the MAT credit entitlement will expire

Further, we assessed the applicability of Ind AS 12 Income Taxes by assessing management’s assessment of recoverability of MAT credit entitlement against forecast income streams, including reliability of future income projections.

We validated the appropriateness of the related disclosures in note 20 to the standalone financial statements, including the enhanced disclosures made in respect of the utilization period of deferred tax assets in relation to MAT credit entitlement.

Report on the internal Financial Controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013.

(Referred to in paragraph 1(A)(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)

Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (‘the Company’) as of 31 March 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2019, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 (the “Guidance Note”).

Management’s Responsibility for internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. 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 (‘the Act’).

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. 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 with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and whether 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 with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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 standalone 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 with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 with reference to financial statements 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 with Reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as “standalone Ind AS financial statements”).

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 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit (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 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.

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.

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 are also responsible to 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 entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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 of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2018, its profit (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Other Matters

The audited standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the corresponding year ended 31st March, 2017 prepared in accordance with Ind AS included in these standalone Ind AS financial statements, have been audited by the predecessor auditors whose audit report dated 26th May, 2017 expressed an unmodified opinion on those audited standalone Ind AS financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matter.

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.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of TORRENT PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March ,2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss and 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 Financial Statements

The Company''s 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 Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") and in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 the disclosures in the financial statements. 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. 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 the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the 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 audit opinion.
