SPECIALITY MEDICINES PRIVATE LIMITED”) (''the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at
March 31,2025, the statement of profit and loss, and the cash flow statement 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

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 March 31,2025, its profit and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of financial statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the 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
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We
have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements.
The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the
basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying Financial Statements.

The key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition:

The revenue of the Company consists primarily of sale of
finished pharmaceutical formulations and other
medicines in local and international market.

Revenue is recognized when the control of products is
transferred to the customer and there is no unfulfilled
obligation.

Our key audit procedures around revenue recognition
included, but were not limited to, the following:

• Evaluated the design and tested the operating
effectiveness of the relevant key controls with
respect to revenue recognition including general
and specific information technology controls.

The key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Owing to the volume of sales transactions, size of the
distribution network and varied terms of contracts with
customers, revenue is determined to be an area involving
significant risk in line with the requirements of the
Standards on Auditing and hence, requiring significant
auditor attention.

• Performed substantive testing on selected
samples of revenue transactions recorded during
the year by testing the underlying documents
including invoices, goods dispatch notes, shipping
documents and customer receipts, wherever
applicable.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company’s board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business
Responsibility Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required
to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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.

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 Responsibilities 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by 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 statement 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be
influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and
in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial
statements

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence; and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the 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
