We have audited the accompanying Statement of annual consolidated financial results ('Statement') of Biocon Limited ('the Company'), its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as 'the Group'), its associates and a joint venture (Refer note 3 of the Statement), for the year ended 31 March 2019, attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ('SEBI Regulation'). Attention is drawn to the fact that the figures for last quarter ended 31 March 2019 and the corresponding quarter ended in the previous year as reported in the Statement are the balancing figures between consolidated audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year to date consolidated figures up to the end of third quarter of the relevant financial year. Also the figures upto the end of the third quarter have only been reviewed and not subjected to audit.

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the annual consolidated financial statements and reviewed quarterly consolidated financial results upto the third quarter, which are the responsibility of the Company's Management.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts disclosed as financial results. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Management. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We did not audit the financial statements/ financial information of a subsidiary and a joint venture both incorporated outside India included in the Statement. This subsidiary accounts for Rs 866 million and Rs 3,029 million of revenues (including other income) for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2019 respectively and Rs 25,353 million of total assets as at 31 March 2019. The Statement also include the Group's share of net loss of Rs 112 million and net profit of Rs 9 million for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2019, in respect of the joint venture. The financial statements/ financial information of the subsidiary and joint venture both incorporated outside India have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been audited by other auditors under generally accepted auditing standards applicable in their respective countries. The Company's Management has converted the financial statements/ financial information of the subsidiary and a joint venture both incorporated outside India from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments, if any made by the Company's Management. Our opinion in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of such subsidiary and joint venture both incorporated outside India is based on the reports of other auditors and the conversion adjustments, if any prepared by the Management of the Company and audited by us.

• 1. During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Group, had accounted for its 19.5% equity investment in Equilllum Inc. as an associate. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Equillium initiated its initial public offering (IPO) process and consequently had changes in its Board composition, which resulted in loss of significant influence over the investee. In accordance with lnd AS 28: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, the Company fair valued its investment on the date of loss of significant influence and the anti-dilutive rights on the date of IPO which resulted in a gain of Rs 55 million and Rs. 1,762 million, net of tax expenses of Rs 3 million and Rs. 184 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and year ended March 31, 2019 respectively, which has been disclosed as an Exceptional item in these financial results. The Group, going forward has designated its investment in equity of Equillium to be accounted for at Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Equillium completed its IPO and listed on NASDAQ on October 12, 2018.
• 1. Segment Reporting in Consolidated financial results: Based on the "management approach" as defined in lnd AS 108-0perating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Marker evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation ofthese financial results are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.
• 1. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company along with its subsidiary BRL sold 6,597,130 equity shares of Rs. 10 each of Syngene in the open market. Post the sale, the Company and its subsidiary's holding in equity shares of Syngene has reduced to 70.24%. Gain arising from such sale of equity shares, net of related expense and cost of equity shares amounting toRs. 1,987 has been recorded as exceptional item in the standalone financial results for the year ended March 31, 2019.

The gain arising from such sale of equity shares, net of related expenses and cost of equity shares, for the year ended March 31, 2019 has been accounted in equity reserves in the consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2019, as there is no loss of control.

1. Pursuant to the requirements of lnd AS 115: Revenues from Contracts with Customers, the Group evaluated its open arrangements on out-licensing with reference to upfront non-refundable fees received in earlier periods and concluded that some of the performance obligations may not be distinct and hence would need to be bundled with the subsequent product supply obligations.

Accordingly, the Group has recognised an incremental deferred revenue relating to such open contracts. The adoption of this standard and the consequential impact on change in some of the licensing arrangements did not have a material impact on the Revenue from Operations and results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2019. The cumulative effect of transition recorded as of April1, 2018 on retained earnings is Rs. 1,606 with the corresponding effect on deferred revenue and deferred tax asset amounting toRs. 1,877 and Rs. 271 respectively. Comparative periods were not restated given the Group adopted the standard using the cumulative effect approach.

1. The figures for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect to full financial years and the published unaudited year to date figures upto the end of the third quarter of the relevant financial year, which are subjected to limited review.
