We have audited the standalone financial statements
of Sequent Scientific Limited ("the Company"), which
includes Sequent Scientific Employee Stock Option
Plan Trust (the "Trust") which comprise the Balance
sheet as at March 31 2025, the Statement of Profit and
Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive
Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement
of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes
to the standalone financial statements, including a
summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information.

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 other auditor
on separate financial statement and other financial
information of the Trust, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required
by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("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 March 31, 2025, its profit including
other comprehensive expense, its cash flows and the
changes in equity 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 (SAs), as 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 together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the 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 audit 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
for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. 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. For each matter
below, our description of how our audit addressed the
matter is provided in that context.

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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the
standalone financial statements section of our report,
including in relation to these matters. Accordingly,
our audit included the performance of procedures
designed to respond to our assessment of the risks
of material misstatement of the standalone 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 standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Recoverability of Deferred tax assets

(as described in Note 8 and Note 39 of the standalone financial statements)

As at March 31,2025, the Company has
Deferred Tax Asset ("DTA") of ' 96.44 million,
which includes MAT credit of ' 77.57 million.The
analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax
assets has been identified as a key audit matter
because the assessment of recoverability
involves significant estimates and judgement in
respect of forecasted taxable profits for future
years. Due to the significance and materiality
of the deferred tax balances and the judgment
involved, this matter was considered significant
to our audit and hence a key audit matter.

We performed the following audit procedures, among

others:

• We obtained an understanding of the management's
process for estimating the recoverability of deferred
tax assets.

• We compared the forecast of future taxable income
to business plan and previous forecasts to the actual
results and analyzed results for material differences, if
any.

• We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the
computation of the amounts recognised as deferred
tax assets.

• We involved tax experts to assist in evaluating
measurement of income tax charge for the year
including computation and evaluation of various tax
positions and potential exposures.

• We read and assessed relevant disclosures made in the
standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition under Ind AS 115, "Revenue from contracts with customers"

(as described in Note 2.4(i) and Note 30 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of
goods at a point in time based on the terms of
the contract with customers which may vary
case to case. Terms of sales arrangements
with various customers, including Incoterms
determine the timing of transfer of control
and require judgment in determining timing of
revenue recognition.

Due to the judgement relating to determination
of point of time in satisfaction of performance
obligations with respect to sale of products, this
matter is considered as Key Audit Matter.

We performed the following audit procedures, among

others:

• We read the Company's accounting policy for revenue
recognition and assessed its compliance with Ind AS
115 'Revenue from contracts with customers';

• We assessed the design and tested the operating
effectiveness of internal financial controls related to
sale of goods;

• For sample customers, we obtained and assessed
the arrangements with the Company and impact on
revenue recognition including their payment terms and
right to returns;

• On a sample basis, we tested underlying documents
including purchase orders issued by customers, and
sales invoices raised by the Company and shipping
documents to assess the timing of transfer of control
and the timing of revenue recognition;

• We analyzed revenue transactions near the reporting
date and tested whether the timing of revenue was
recognized in the appropriate period with reference
to shipping records, sales invoices etc., for sample
transactions;

• We requested for and obtained independent balance
confirmations from the Company's customers on
sample basis and tested reconciliations wherever
required.

• We read and assessed the relevant disclosures made
within the standalone financial statements.

Impairment assessment of investments in subsidiaries and amount due from subsidiaries:

(as described in Note 5 and Note 6 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company has investments in subsidiaries
of
' 6,472.42 million and amount due from
subsidiary of
' 3,949.43 million as at March 31,
2025. The said investments and amount due are
carried at cost less allowance for impairment,
if any.The Management reviews periodically
whether there are any indicators of impairment
of the said investments and amount due from
them by reference to the requirements under Ind
AS 36 and Ind AS 109. If such indicator exists,
impairment loss is determined and recognized
in the standalone financial statements in
accordance with the accounting policies.

The Management carries out impairment
assessment for investments and amount
receivables from subsidiaries with indicators of
impairment and if there are any such indicators,
determines the recoverable amount based on
estimates of future cash flows of the businesses
covered by investments.

As investments in subsidiaries and amount
receivables from subsidiary are significant and
impairment assessment involves significant
assumptions and judgment, we regard this as a
key audit matter.

We performed the following audit procedures, among

others:

• We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design
and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls
over the impairment review process including the review
and approval of forecasts and review of valuation
models.

• We assessed whether there were indicators of
impairment of investments and amount due from
subsidiaries. Where indicators existed, we have
assessed whether management has estimated the
recoverable amounts of these investments and amount
due from subsidiaries, including the assumptions used
by the management in making such estimates.

• We evaluated the methodology used by the Company
for future projections to determine the recoverable
amount, in particular those assumptions relating to the
sales growth rate, pre-tax discount rate used.

• We involved valuation specialists to review key
assumptions considered in the recoverable amount
determination.

• We compared the carrying values of the Company's
investments and amounts due from subsidiaries
with their recoverable amounts and the consequent
allowance for impairment, if any.

• We read and assessed the relevant disclosures made in
the standalone 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 standalone financial statements and
our auditor's 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
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
Standalone 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 standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance
including other comprehensive expense, 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 under section 133 of the Act read
with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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,
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
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 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 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.

• For the Trust included in the standalone financial
statements, which have been audited by other
auditors, such other auditors remain responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of
the audits carried out by them. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

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 for the financial year
ended March 31, 2025 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

We did not audit the financial statements and other
financial information of the Trust included in the
accompanying standalone financial statements of
the Company whose financial statements and other
financial information reflect total assets of
' 28.50
million as at March 31, 2025, total revenues of
' Nil and
net cash outflow of
' 7.00 million for the year ended on
that date. The financial statements and other financial
information of the Trust have been audited by the other
auditor whose reports have been furnished to us by the
management. Our opinion on the standalone financial
statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and
disclosures included in respect of the Trust, is based
solely on the report of such other auditors. Our opinion
is not modified in respect of these matters.
