We have audited the accompanying Standalone financial statements of CHEMO PHARMA
LABORATORIES LIMITED ("the Company") which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2024,
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 financial
statements, including 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 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 2017, as amended, ("Ind AS") and the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, its profit, including other comprehensive
income, its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 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 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
financial statements.
Emphasis of matter paragraph :
We draw attention to the following matters:
a) The Company had provided inter corporate deposit (ICD) to M/s. Solding Hydrowatt Private Limited
on April 1,2023 for an amount of Rs. 2,00,00,000/- for a period of 2 years at an interest rate of 7.5%
p.a. Further, the said ICD is repayable on demand.
According to the information and explanation provided to us, Solding Hydrowatt Private Limited is a
related party and as such, all related party transactions are required to be carried out at an arm's
length basis.
Although, the Company has charged interest on such ICDs given to its related parties, the interest
rates are not on an arm's length basis and the interest income has been under reported in the financial
statements to that extent.
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 financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Other Information :
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of 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 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 auditor 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 management and the Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and
changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 statement 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 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 management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements :
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
