Segment assets and liabilities
As certain assets and liabilities are deployed interchangeably across segments, it is not practically possible to allocate those assets and liabilities to each segment. Hence, the details of assets and liabilities have not been disclosed in the above table.
Notes:
-
The financial results have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ('lnd AS') prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules thereunder and In terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) and SEBI circular dated 5th July, 2016.
-
Effective 1u April, 2019, the Group has adopted lnd AS 116 "Leases" using the modified retrospective method. The Group has applied the standard to its leases with the cumulative impact recognised on the date of initial application (1 u April, 2019). Accordingly, previous period information has not been restated.
On 1" April, 2019, the Group has recognised a lease liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, and right-of-use (ROU) asset at an amount equal to lease liability (adjusted for any related prepayments), Also, the Group has elected not to apply the requirements of lnd AS 116 to short-term leases and certain leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. Accordingly, on transition to lnd AS 116, the Group recognised lease liabilities and corresponding equivalent ROU assets.
In the statement of profit and loss for the current period, operating lease expenses which were recognised as other expenses in previous periods is now recognised as depreciation expense for the right-of-use asset and finance cost for imputed interest on lease liability, The adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the profit for the period and earnings per share.
- The Company had received various notices of demand from the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), Government of India, on account of alleged overcharging in respect of certain drugs under the Drugs (Prices Control) Orders. The total demand against the Company as stated in NPPA public disclosure amounts to~ 2,655.38 Crore.
Out of the above, demand notices pertaining to a set of products being Norfloxacin, Ciproflox•cin, Salbutamol and Theophylline were challenged by the Company (i) in the Hon'ble Bombay High Court on the ground that bulk drugs contained in the said formulations are not amenable to price control, as they cannot be included in the ambit of price control based on the parameters contained in the Drug Policy, 1994 on which the DPCO, 1995 is based and (ii) in the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court on process followed for fixation of pricing norms. These Petitions were decided in favour of the Company and the matters were carried in appeal by the Union of India to the Hon'ble Supreme Court of india. The Supreme Court in its judgment of 1" August, 2003 restored the said writ petitions to the Bombay High Court with directions that the Court will have to consider the petitions afresh, having due regard to the observations made by the Supreme Court in its judgment. On the Union of India filing transfer petitions, the Supreme Court ordered transfer of the said petitions to the Bombay High Court to it for being heard with the appeal filed against the Allahabad High Court order. Subsequently, in its order of 20th July, 2016 the Supreme Court recalled its transfer order and remanded the petitions to Bombay High Court for hearing. While remanding the matter to Bombay High Court, the Hon'ble Supreme Court directed Cipla to deposit 50% of the overcharged amount with the NPPA as stated in its order of 1" August, 2003 which at that point of time was ~ 3S0.15 Crore. Complying with the directions passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, Cipla has deposited an amount of~ 175.08 Crore which has been received and acknowledged by NPPA. Furthermore, the Company has not received any further notices post such transfer of cases to Bombay High Court. Meanwhile, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India vide its Order and Judgment dated 21" October, 2016, allowed the Appeals filed by the Government against the Judgment and Order of the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court regarding basis of fixation of retail prices. The said order was specific to fixation of retail prices without adhering to the formula/process laid down in DPCO, 1995. However, the grounds relating to inclusion of certain drugs within the span of price control continues to be sub-judice with the Hon'ble Bombay High Court.
The Bombay High Court had, in expectation of NPPA filing its counter-statement on status of each petitioner's compliance with the 2003 and 2016 Hon'ble Supreme Court orders (on deposit SO% of amount demanded), re-scheduled the hearing for 5'h June, 2019, but the same was not listed on that date and the next date of hearing is awaited.
The Company has been legally advised that it has a substantially strong case on the merits of the matter, especially under the guidelines/principles of interpretation of the Drug Policy enunciated by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. Although, the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 21" October, 2016 referred above was in favour of Union of India with respect to the appeals preferred by the Government challenging the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court order, basis the facts and legal advice on the matter sub-judice with the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, no provision is considered necessary in respect of the notices of demand received till date aggregating to~ 1,736.00 Crore. It may be noted that NPPA in its public di•cio•ure h•• stated the total demand amount against the Company in relation to the above said molecules to be~ 2,272.32 Crore (after adjusting deposit of~ 175.08 Crore). however, the Company has not received any further notices beyond an aggregate amount on 1,736.00 Crore.
In addition, Company had made provision of ~ 100.48 Crore as of 30'h September, 2019 for products not part of the referenced writ proceedings. Few demands for these products aggregating ~ 80.41 Crore received recently, were challenged before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court and the recovery proceedings remain in abeyance in pursuance of the same and the matters are listed for hearing in the month of November 2019.
-
The paid-up equity share capital stands increased to~ 161.22 Crore (80,60,77,497 equity shares of~ 2 each) upon allotment of 2,49,072 equity shares of~ 2 each pursuant to "ESOS 2013-A" during the quarter ended 30th September, 2019.
-
The Government of India, on 20'h September, 2019 vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, inserted a new Section 115 BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961, which provides an option to the Indian companies for paying tax at reduced rates (lower tax rate) as per the provisions/ conditions defined in the said section. Based on its evaluation, certain Indian components of the Group expects to avail lower tax rate only from a later financial year (31" March, 2021) and therefore has applied the lower tax rate of 25.17% in measurement of deferred taxes only to the extent that such deferred tax assets/ liabilities are expected to be realised/ settled in the periods during which the Company expects to be subject to lower tax rate. To the extent deferred tax assets/ liabilities are expected to be realised( settled during the year ending 31" March, 2020, the normal tax rate of 34.994% or lower tax rate of 25.17%, as applicable, has been applied. Consequently, deferred tax liabilities (net) reversed by the Group as at 30th September, 2019 is not significant.

Independent Auditor's Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)
To the Board of Directors of Cipla Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results ('the Statement') of Cipla Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group') and its associates (refer Annexure A for the list of subsidiaries and associates included in the Statement) for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 and the consolidated year to date results for the period 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. Attention is drawn to the fact that the cash flow figures for the corresponding six month period ended 30 September 2018 have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, but have not been subject to audit or review.
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ('lnd AS 34'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act'), SEBI Circular CIRICFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5 July 2016 (hereinafter referred to as 'the SEBI Circular), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, and consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the SEBI Circular CIRICFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), to the extent applicable.

-
- Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and upon consideration of the review reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph 5 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down in lnd AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, the SEBI Circular and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
-
- We did not review the interim financial results of 16 subsidiaries included in the Statement, whose financial information reflects total assets of~ 2,402.68 crore as at 30 September 2019, total revenues of~ 651.09 crore and ~ 1,243.94 crore, total net profit after tax of~ 31 .97 crore and ~ 56.10 crore, total comprehensive income of~ 35.14 crore and ~ 58.52 crore, for the quarter and year-to-date period ended on 30 September 2019, respectively, and cash flows (net) of~ (9.05) for the period ended 30 September 2019, as considered in the Statement. The Statement also includes the Group's share of net loss after tax of~ 0.60 crore and ~1.04 crore for the quarter and year-to-date period ended on 30 September 2019, respectively, as considered in the Statement, in respect of an associate, whose interim financial results have not been reviewed by us. These interim financial results have been reviewed by other auditors whose review reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our conclusion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and associate is based solely on the review reports of such other auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.
Further, these subsidiaries and associate are located outside India, whose interim financial results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been reviewed by other auditors under International Standard on Review Engagement (ISRE) applicable in their respective countries . The Holding Company's management has converted the financial results of such subsidiaries and associate from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have reviewed these conversion adjustments made by the Holding Company's management. Our conclusion, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and associates is based on the review report of other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and reviewed by us.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The above statement of cash flo w has been prepared under the ' Indirect method as set out m lnd1an Accountmg Standard (lnd AS) 7-Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial results have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ('lnd AS') prescribed under section 133 of .the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules thereunder and in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) and SEBI circular dated 51 h July, 2016.

Effective 1" April, 2019, the Company has adopted lnd AS 116 "Leases" using the modified retrospective method. The Company has applied the standard to its leases with the cumulative impact recognised on the date of initial application (1" April, 2019). Accordingly, previous period information has not been restated.
On 1" April, 2019, the Company has recognised a lease liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, and right-of-use (ROU) asset at an amount equal to lease liability (adjusted for any related prepayments). Also, the Company has elected not to apply the requirements of lnd AS 116 to shortterm leases and certain leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. Accordingly, on transition to lnd AS 116, the Company recognised lease liabilities and corresponding equivalent ROU assets.
In the statement of profit and loss for the current period, operating lease expenses which were recognised as other expenses in previous periods is now recognised as depreciation expense for the right-of-use asset and finance cost for imputed interest on lease liability. The adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the profit for the period and earnings per share.
- The Company had received various notices of demand from the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), Government of India, on account of alleged overcharging in respect of certain drugs under the Drugs (Prices Control) Orders. The total demand against the Company as stated in NPPA public disclosure amounts to~ 2,655.38 Crore.
Out of the above, demand notices pertaining to a set of products being Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Salbutamol and Theophylline were challenged by the Company (i) in the Hon'ble Bombay High Court on the ground that bulk drugs contained in the said formulations are not amenable to price control, as they cannot be included in the ambit of price control based on the parameters contained in the Drug Policy, 1994 on which the DPCO, 1995 is based and (ii) in the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court on process followed for fixation of pricing norms. These Petitions were decided in favour of the Company and the matters were carried in appeal by the Union of India to the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court in its judgment of 1'' August, 2003 restored the said writ petitions to the Bombay High Court with directions that the Court will have to consider the petitions afresh, having due regard to the observations made by the Supreme Court in its judgment. On the Union of India filing transfer petitions, the Supreme Court ordered transfer of the said petitions to the Bombay High Court to it for being heard with the appeal filed against the Allahabad High Court order. Subsequently, in its order of zo'h July, 2016 the Supreme Court recalled its transfer order and remanded the petitions to Bombay High Court for hearing. While remanding the matter to Bombay High Court, the Hon'ble Supreme Court directed Cipla to deposit 50% of the overcharged amount with the NPPA as stated in its order of 1'' August, 2003 which at that point of time was ~ 350.15 Crore. Complying with the directions passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, Cipla has deposited an amount of ~ 175.08 Crore which has been received and acknowledged by NPPA. Furthermore, the Company has not received any further notices post such transfer of cases to Bombay High Court. Meanwhile, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India vide its Order and Judgment dated 21" October, 2016, allowed the Appeals filed by the Government against the Judgment and Order of the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court regarding basis of fixation of retail prices. The said order was specific to fixation of retail prices without adhering to the formula/process laid down in DPCO, 1995. However, the grounds relating to inclusion of certain drugs within the span of price control continues to be subjudice with the Hon'ble Bombay High Court.
The Bombay High Court had, in expectation of NPPA filing its counter-statement on status of each petitioner's compliance with the 2003 and 2016 Hon' ble Supreme Court orders (on deposit 50% of amount demanded), re-scheduled the hearing for 51 h June, 2019, but the same was not listed on that date and the next date of hearing is awaited.
The Company has been legally advised that it has a substantially strong case on the merits of the matter, especially under the guidelines/principles of interpretation of the Drug Policy enunciated by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. Although, the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 21" October, 2016 referred above was in favour of Union of India with respect to the appeals preferred by the Government challenging the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court order, basis the facts and legal advice on the matter sub-judice with the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, no provision is considered necessary in respect of the notices of demand received .till date aggregating to~ 1, 736.00 Crore. It may be noted that NPPA in its public disclosure has stated the total demand amount against the Company in relation to the above said molecules to be~ 2,272.32 Crore (after adjusting deposit of~ 175.08 Crore), however, the Company has not received any further notices beyond an aggregate amount of~ 1,736.00 Crore.
In addition, Company had made provision of~ 100.48 Crore as of 301 h September, 2019 for products not part of the referenced writ proceedings. Few demands for these products aggregating~ 80.41 Crore received recently, were challenged before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court and the recovery proceedings remain in abeyance in pursuance of the same and the matters are listed for hearing in the month of November 2019.

The Government of India, on 20'h September, 2019 vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, inserted a new Section 115 BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961, which provides an option to the Company for paying tax at reduced rates (lower tax rate) as per the provisions/ conditions defined in the said section. Based on its evaluation, the Company expects to avail lower tax rate only from a later financial year (31'' March, 2021) and therefore has applied the lower tax rate of 25.17% in measurement of deferred taxes only to the extent that such deferred tax assets/ liabilities are expected to be realised/ settled in the periods during which the Company expects to be subject to lower tax rate. To the extent deferred tax assets/ liabilities are expected to be realised/ settled during the year ending 31" March, 2020, the normal tax rate of 34.994% or lower tax rate of 25.17%, as applicable, has been applied. Consequently, deferred tax liabilities (net) reversed by the Company as at 3D'h September, 2019 is not significant.

To the Board of Directors of Cipla Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying statement of standalone unaudited financial results ('the Statement') of Cipla Limited ('the Company') for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 and the year to date results for the period 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended), including relevant circulars issued by the SEBI from time to time. Attention is drawn to the fact that the cash flow figures for the corresponding six month period ended 30 September 2018 have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, but have not been subject to audit or review.
-
- The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ('lnd AS 34'), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act'), SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5 July 2016, (hereinafter referred to as 'the SEBI Circular'), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
- We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, and consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
