We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of JHS Svendgaard Laboratories Limited (the
"Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March
2025, the statement of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), the statement of changes in equity and
the statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information on (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone
financial statements").

Opinion

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 (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 31 March 2025 and its
loss, 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 standalone financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under
section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards 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 ("ICAI") 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
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
standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
financial statements:

a) Footnote under Note 7 (Deferred tax assets (net)) to the
financial statements which describes the Company's
reassessment of the virtual certainty of its carry-forward
losses. Based on this review, the company has revised its
Deferred Tax Asset by Rs. 718.84 lakhs approx. and has
recognized the impact of this adjustment in the financial
statements for the period under review resulting in negative
impact on profit after tax to that extent.

b) Footnote under Note 3.1 (Property, plant and equipment) to
the financial statements, which describes that the company
has carried out detailed physical and technical inspection
wherein number of machines which have become
technologically obsolete were impaired to the extent of Rs.
285.94 lakhs to reflect the fair value as per Ind AS. The same is
reflected under exceptional items in the accompanying profit
and loss statement.

c) Footnote under Note 10 (Inventories) to the financial
statements, which describes the provision of Rs. 263.02
Lakhs made for obsolete inventory. Attention is drawn as the
amount is material with respect to turnover of the company.

d) Footnote under Note 11 (Trade Receivables) to the financial
statements, which describes the provision of Rs. 156.29 lakhs
and write off of Rs. 72.23 lakhs made for Trade Receivables.
Attention is drawn as the amount is material with respect to
turnover of the company.

e) Footnote under Note 9 (Other non-current assets) to the
financial statements which deals with the Capital Advances
given in earlier years to various parties amounting to Rs.
2,895.13 lakhs for seffing up new production manufacturing
facilities in Himachal Pradesh and Rs. 1,328.30 lakhs through
its wholly owned subsidiary, towards pre-emption rights in
the upcoming project in Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
Management has considered the above amounts same
recoverable and adjustable against the future expansion
plans.

Our Opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

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.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

1

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of goods (hereinafter
referred to as "Revenue") is recognized when the
company performs its obliga
tion to its customers
and the amount of revenue can be measured
reliably and recovery of the considera
tion is
probable. The
timing of such recognition in the
case of sale of goods is when the control over the
same is transferred to the customer, which is
mainly upon delivery. The timing of revenue
recogni
tion is relevant to the reported
performance of the Company. The management
considers revenue as a key measure for evalua
tion
of performance.

Refer Note 2(a) to the Standalone Financial
Statements - Significant accoun
ting policies.

Principal audit procedures

Our audit approach was a combination of test of internal controls and

substantive procedures including:

Assessing the appropriateness of the Company's revenue
recogni
tion accounting policies in line with IND AS 115 ("Revenue
from Contracts with Customers") and tes
ting thereof.

Evaluating the design and implementation of Company's controls in
respect of revenue recognition.

Testing the effectiveness of such controls over revenue cut off at
year-end.

We performed substantive testing by selecting samples of revenue
transactions recorded during the year by verifying the underlying
documents, which included goods dispatch notes and shipping
documents.

Performing analytical procedures on current year revenue based on
monthly trends and where appropriate, conducting further
enquiries and tes
ting.

Based on the above procedure performed, the recognition and
measurement of revenue from sale of goods are considered to be
adequate and reasonable.

2

Assessment of impairment of assets and
provisioning for the same

The company holds significant balances of
property, plant and equipment, trade receivables,
and inventories.

Management is required to assess these assets for
indicators of impairment or irrecoverability of PPE,
trade receivables, and inventories and to
determine appropriate provisions where
necessary. These evalua
tions involve significant
management judgment and es
timates,

Given the degree of estimation and judgment
involved, and the material nature of provision for
impairment done by the management, we have
iden
tified the evaluation of these provisions as a
key audit ma
tter.

Refer Note 2(f), 1(c)(v) & 2(h) to the Standalone
Financial Statements - Significant accoun
ting
policies

Principal audit procedures

For impairment of Fixed Assets:

Evaluating the methodologies used by management to assess
indicators of impairment.

Chartered Engineer was engaged to conduct a technical assessment
of certain machinery and equipment at our manufacturing facility.
Following the expert's recommenda
tion, the carrying values of
these assets have been impaired to reflect their recoverable
(scrap/realisable) value.

Assessing the assumptions used in determining value-in-use
calcula
tions, including projected cash flows, growth rates, and
discount rates, with the involvement of our valua
tion specialists.

For doubtful debts:

We evaluated the design and implementation of controls over the
credit risk assessment process.

We tested the ageing of receivables, assessed historical loss trends,
and reviewed management's forward-looking assump
tions used in
the expected credit loss model.

We performed detailed analyses of significant customer balances,
including subsequent receipts and communica
tions with customers,
to assess recoverability.

For obsolete inventory:

We assessed the inventory provisioning methodology against
historical trends and industry prac
tices.

We performed ageing analyses and discussed with management the
ra
tionale for provisions recorded against specific inventory lines,
par
ticularly slow-moving or obsolete stock.

We performed physical inventory observations to assess the
condi
tion of inventory held.

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS

Financial Statements

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

2. 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.

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

Auditor's Responsibility

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
standalone financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions
of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone
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 standalone financial
statements.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

Report on Other Legal and regulatory Requirements

2020 ("the Order"), issued by the Central Government of
