SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT

Kopran Limited is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished dosage forms in India and internationally. KL offers its products in various dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, syrups, dry powder, suspension, and injectables, as well as branded and generic formulations. KL was incorporated on 26 April 1958 under the Companies Act, 1956 and has its registered office at Mumbai, India. For financial year 2025, KL reported consolidated revenue from operations of INR 6,319.0 mn and consolidated net profit of INR 385.5 mn.

Kopran Laboratories Limited is engaged in carrying out the business of trading of medical equipment, reagents and consumables, providing laboratory automation solutions and delivering projects in hospital infrastructure. KLL was incorporated on 12 August 1986 under the Companies Act, 1956 and has its registered office at Mumbai, India. For financial year 2025, KLL reported revenue from operations of INR 1,080.4 mn and net profit of INR 209.9 mn.

We understand that the management of the Companies (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Management”) are evaluating a amalgamation of KLL with KL through a Composite Scheme of Arrangement under the provisions of Sections 230-232 and the other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

As per the Scheme, the shareholders of KLL will be issued and allotted equity shares of KL as a consideration for Proposed Amalgamation. Further, the existing equity shares of KLL would stand cancelled following the issuance of shares of KL.

The Board of Directors of KL approved the Scheme of Amalgamation for amalgamation of KLL into KL on 20 March 2025. As informed by the management, due to procedural delays, KL has to submit an updated recommendation of fair equity Share Exchange Ratio based on the latest financial statements. In this connection, the Board of Directors of KL have appointed EY and Board of Directors of KLL have appointed ALA, the Registered Valuers, to recommend Share Exchange Ratio, for issue of KL equity shares to the equity shareholders of KLL to be placed before the Audit Committee/ Board of Directors of the Companies.

We understand that the appointed date for the Proposed Amalgamation shall be 01 January 2025 or such other date as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Companies.

The scope of our services is to conduct a valuation of equity shares of the Companies on a relative basis and recommend Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation.

The Valuers have worked independently in their analysis. The Valuers have independently arrived at different values per share of the Companies. However, to arrive at the consensus on the Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation, appropriate minor adjustments/rounding off have been done in the values arrived at by the Valuers.

We have been provided with the consolidated limited reviewed financial statements of KL and audited financial statements of KLL for the three months ended 30 June 2025. We have taken into consideration the current market parameters in our analysis and have made adjustments for additional facts made known to us till the date of our Report. Further, we have been informed that all material information impacting the Companies have been disclosed to us.

We have been informed by the Management that:

a) there would not be any capital variation in the Companies till the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective, except issuance of Employee Stock Options in normal course of the business of the Companies. In the event that either of the Companies restructure their equity share capital by way of share split / consolidation / issue of bonus shares before the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective, the issue of shares pursuant to the fair equity Share Exchange Ratio recommended in this Report shall be adjusted accordingly to take into account the effect of any such corporate actions.
b) till the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective, neither Companies would declare any substantial dividends having materially different yields as compared to past few years.
c) there are no unusual/abnormal events in the Companies materially impacting their operations/financial position after 30 June 2025 till the Report date except as disclosed elsewhere in this report.

We have relied on the above while arriving at the Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation.

APPROACH FOR RECOMMENDATION OF FAIR EQUITY SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO

The Composite Scheme of Arrangement contemplates amalgamation of KLL into KL. Arriving at the Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation would require determining the value of equity shares of KL and KLL on a relative basis. These values are to be determined independently, but on a relative basis for the Companies, without considering the effect of the Proposed Amalgamation.

Our choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for mergers and our reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner.

The valuation approach adopted by EY and ALA is given in Annexure 1A and 1B respectively (Annexure 1A and 1B together referred to as Annexures).

BASIS OF FAIR EQUITY SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO

The basis of the transaction of KL and KLL would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methods mentioned herein after. Though different values have been arrived at under each of the approaches / methods as mentioned in the Annexures, for the purposes of recommending the Share Exchange Ratio it is necessary to arrive at a final value for each Companies. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each approach / method.

The Share Exchange Ratio has been arrived at on the basis of value of equity shares of the Companies based on the various approaches/methods explained herein after considering various qualitative factors relevant to each company, business dynamics and growth potentials of the businesses of the Companies, information base and key underlying assumptions and limitations.

While we have provided our recommendation of the Share Exchange Ratio based on the information available to us and within the scope and constraints of our engagement, others may have a different opinion as to the Share Exchange Ratio. The final responsibility for the determination of the Share Exchange Ratio at which the Proposed Amalgamation shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of the respective Companies who should take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Amalgamation and input of other advisors.

We have independently applied approaches/methods discussed in the Annexures, as considered appropriate, and arrived at the value per share of KL and KLL. To arrive at the consensus on the Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation, suitable minor adjustments / rounding off have been done.

Annexure 1A- Approach to Valuation – EY

We have followed the International Valuation Standards (“IVS”) (effective January 31, 2025) published by the International Valuation Standards Council, for carrying out our valuation analysis and delivering our valuation conclusion. There are primarily three approaches in valuation (viz., Cost/Asset Approach, Market Approach and Income Approach). For any valuation, all the approaches may not be relevant and therefore will not give a fair estimate of value. Hence, the approach most suitable for that specific business / company must be applied in the valuation exercise, based on the experience and common practices adopted by valuers.

We have adopted a definition of Market Value as given in IVS 102: "Market Value is the estimated amount for which an asset and/or liability should exchange on the Valuation Date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

The Fair Value referred in the Report is same as Market Value as defined above.

We have considered internationally accepted valuation standards and approaches in delivering our valuation conclusion. There are several principal valuation approaches under International Valuation Standard of which we have considered only those approaches to the extent, it is applicable and relevant.

The various approaches generally adopted in valuation are as under:

  1. Cost/Asset Approach: Net Asset Value method
  2. Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) method
  3. Market Approach: Comparable Companies’ Market Multiple (CCM) method, Comparable Transactions’ Multiple (CTM) method and Market Price method

We have used the Market Approach (i.e., Market Price method and CCM method) and Income Approach (i.e., DCF Method) for valuation of all the Companies.

Fair valuation of the Companies factors various intangible assets whether or not recorded in the financials of the respective companies.

Cost/ Asset Approach – Net Asset Value (NAV) method: Under this approach, the net asset value method is considered, which is based on the underlying net assets and liabilities. Cost approach is not considered suitable for Medical equipment manufacturers, technology distributors, healthcare distributors and companies intended to be continued on going concern basis. Hence, in the present valuation analysis, we have not considered NAV method.

Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method: Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the firm are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital. The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm. Such DCF analysis involves determining the following:

  • Estimating future free cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are available to the providers of the company’s capital – both debt and equity.

  • Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flows i.e., the cost of capital:

Page 10 of 36


Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP
Armslength Advisors Private Limited
Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation of Kopran Laboratories Limited into Kopran Limited

This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers (namely shareholders and creditors), weighted by their relative contribution to the total capital of the company. The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

We have considered DCF Method for arriving at value per equity share of KL and KLL

Market Approach – CCM method: Under this method, one attempts to measure the value of the shares / business of a company by applying the derived market multiple based on market quotations of comparable public / listed companies, in an active market, possessing attributes similar to the business of such company - to the relevant financial parameter of the company / business. This valuation is based on the principle that such market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances. In the present valuation analysis, we have considered relative EV/EBITDA multiples for arriving at the equity value of KLL.

Market Approach - Market Price (MP) method: Under this method, the value of shares of a company is determined by taking the average of the market capitalization of the equity shares of such companies as quoted on a recognized stock exchange over reasonable periods of time where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in an active market, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the market price.

The equity shares of KL is listed on NSE and BSE and are traded frequently. In these circumstances the share prices observed on NSE over a reasonable period have been considered for arriving at the value per equity share of KL under the Market Price method.

The equity shares of KLL are not listed on any recognized stock exchange. In these circumstances, we have not used this method for the valuation of KLL. The promoters of KLL purchased 76,260 shares from certain non-promoter shareholders on 19 March 2025 at a price of INR 142 per share. Based on information from the management, such price was determined using the valuation principles provided in Rule 11UA of Income Tax Rules, 1962, which is based on Net Asset Value Method. The Net Asset Value Method is generally not considered an appropriate method for determining fair value, since it does not capture the earning capacity of the business. As a result, the price per share of INR 142 has not been considered by EY to determine the fair value of KLL for the Proposed Amalgamation.

Fair Valuation:

We have arrived at the fair value of equity shares of KL and KLL by applying below mentioned weights to the value derived under various methods.

The computation of fair equity Share Exchange Ratio for Proposed Amalgamation of KLL with KL by EY is tabulated below:

As per Master Circular on (i) Scheme of Arrangement by Listed Entities and (ii) Relaxation under Sub-rule(7) of rule 19 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957 dated 20 June 2023, "The issuance of shares under schemes in case of allotment of shares only to a select group of shareholders or shareholders of unlisted companies pursuant to such schemes shall follow the pricing provisions of Chapter V of SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as amended from time to time."

Page 11 of 36


Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP
Armslength Advisors Private Limited
Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation of Kopran Laboratories Limited into Kopran Limited

As per regulations 164 (1) of Chapter V of SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 (last amended on 17 May 2024), If the equity shares of the issuer have been listed on a recognised stock exchange for a period of 90 trading days or more as on the relevant date, the price of the equity shares to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue shall be not less than higher of the following:

a. the 90 trading days’ volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange preceding the relevant date; or
b. the 10 trading days’ volume weighted average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognised stock exchange preceding the relevant date.

As per master circular dated 20 June 2023 (i) Scheme of Arrangement by Listed Entities and (ii) Relaxation under Sub- rule (7) of rule 19 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, The issuance of shares under schemes in case of allotment of shares only to a select group of shareholders or shareholders of unlisted companies pursuant to such schemes shall follow the pricing provisions of Chapter V of SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as “the ICDR Regulations”). It is clarified that the ‘relevant date’ for the purpose of computing pricing shall be the date of Board meeting in which the scheme is approved.”

The Board of Directors of KL approved the Scheme of Amalgamation for amalgamation of KLL into KL on 20 March 2025. As informed by the management, due to procedural delays, KL has to submit an updated recommendation of fair equity Share Exchange Ratio based on the latest financial statements. Since the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation was announced on 20 March 2025, subsequent share prices may reflect the impact of the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation and not fairly represent KL’s value. EY has also compared value of KL using the ICDR Regulations as on current date and 19 March 2025, wherein 19 March 2025 yielded a higher value. Considering the market price on 19 March 2025 computed per ICDR regulations is higher, EY has used the same in the valuation analysis.

Based on above, the equity shares of KL to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue cannot be lower than the higher of 10 trading days’ volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) and 90 trading days’ VWAP (“Preferential Issue Price”).

Annexure 1B- Approach to Valuation – ALA

As mentioned earlier in the report, the Companies contemplate the Proposed Amalgamation of KLL into KL. Arriving at the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation would require determining the relative value of the equity shares of the Companies. These values are to be determined independently, but on a relative basis for the Companies, without considering the effect of the Proposed Amalgamation.

Hence, the scope of our services is to conduct a relative valuation of equity shares of the Companies and report a fair exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation in accordance with internationally accepted valuation standards/methods.

We have followed the International Valuation Standard 2025, issued by International Valuation Standard Council ('IVSC 2025') read with valuation standards issued by ICAI Registered Valuer Organisation (RVO).

The valuation bases used for the Report is ‘Relative Value’. As per IVS 103 issued by ICAI RVO, in transactions of the nature of merger or amalgamation of companies or merger or demerger of businesses, the consideration is often discharged primarily by issue of securities in the nature of equity of the acquirer or transferee entity with reference to an exchange ratio or entitlement ratio, considering the relative values. Such relative values are generally arrived at by applying an appropriate valuation approach or a combination of valuation approaches.

The terms relative value has not been defined in IVSC 2025, hence for estimation of relative value, we have adopted a definition of Market Value as given in IVS 102 as relative value. The term Market value has been defined in IVS 102 as :

"Market Value is the estimated amount for which an asset and/or liability should exchange on the Valuation Date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".

There are several commonly used and accepted methods under the market, income and asset approaches of valuation for determining value of equity shares for determination of the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation which have been considered in the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, and subject to availability of information, including:

  1. Market Approach: Market Price method and Comparable Company Multiple ('CCM') method, Comparable Transaction Multiple ('CTM') method
  2. Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method
  3. Cost Approach: Net Asset Value/Adjusted Net Asset Value ('Adjusted NAV') method/Sum of the parts ('SOTP') method

Market approach is a valuation approach that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business. The following valuation methods are commonly used under the market approach:

Market Price Method-Under this method the traded price observed over a reasonable period are considered while valuing assets which are traded in the active market. The valuer shall consider the market where the trading volume of asset is the highest when such asset is traded in more than one active market and the

Page 14 of 36


Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP
Armslength Advisors Private Limited
Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation of Kopran Laboratories Limited into Kopran Limited

average price of the asset over a reasonable period shall be used. The valuer should consider using weighted average or volume weighted average to reduce the impact of volatility or any one-time event in the asset.

Comparable Companies Multiple Method, also known as Guideline Public Company Method, involves valuing an asset based on market multiples derived from prices of market comparables traded on active market. A valuer shall preferably use several market comparables rather than relying on a single comparable and the valuer shall exercise judgement while selecting the multiple in case where the market multiple computed for each comparable is significantly different from the other. The valuer may also consider factors and make appropriate adjustment to the market multiple, e.g. size of the asset; geographic location; profitability; stage of life cycle of the asset, diversification; historical and expected growth; or management profile.

Comparable Transaction Multiple (CTM) Method also known as ‘Guideline Transaction Method’ involves valuing an asset based on transaction multiples derived from prices paid in transactions of asset to be valued /market comparables (comparable transactions). The major steps in deriving a value using the CTM method include: identification of comparable transaction appropriate to the asset to be valued; selection and calculation of the transaction multiples from the identified comparable transaction; comparison of the asset to be valued with the market comparables and making of necessary adjustments to the transaction multiple to account where differences, if any existed; application of the adjusted transaction multiple to the relevant parameter of the asset to be valued to arrive at the value of such asset; and if valuation of the asset is derived by using transaction multiples based on different metrics or parameters, the valuer shall consider the reasonableness of the range of values and exercise judgement in determining a final value.

Income Approach: is a valuation approach that converts maintainable or future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (i.e., discounted or capitalised) amount. The fair value measurement is determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. This approach involves discounting future amounts (cash flows/income/cost savings) to a single present value. The following are some of the instances where a valuer may apply the income approach: e.g. where the asset does not have any market comparable or comparable transaction; where the asset has fewer relevant market comparables; or where the asset is an income producing asset for which the future cash flows are available and can reasonably be projected.

In some instances, a valuer may consider using other valuation approaches instead of income approach or in combination with income approach, such as, where –the asset has not yet started generating income or cash flows, e.g., projects under development; there is significant uncertainty on the amount and timing of income/future cash flows, e.g., start-up companies; or the client does not have access to the information relating to the asset being valued, e.g., minority shareholder may not have access to projections/budgets or growth expectations specific to the business. Some of the common valuation methods under income approach are as follows:

Following are the methods of valuation under income approach,

  • Discounted Cashflow (DCF) Method
  • Earning/ Income Capitalisation Method
  • Multi Period Excess Earnings Method (“MEEM”)
  • Relief from Royalty Method (“RFR”)

Page 15 of 36


Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP
Armslength Advisors Private Limited

Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation of Kopran Laboratories Limited into Kopran Limited

  • Differential Cash Flow Method
  • With and Without Method

For Valuation of a running business where there is a future revenue earnings and cash generation capacity generally, DCF or ECM are used. The other methods are used for valuation of intangible assets.

Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) method

Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the firm/equity shareholders are discounted at the weighed average cost of capital(“WACC”)/cost of equity (“Ke”). The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm/equity shareholders.

Using the DCF analysis involves determining the following:

Estimating future free cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are available to the providers of the capital, factoring in the minimum solvency required as per law.

Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flows:

This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to the capital providers (namely debt and equity shareholders). The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

Cost approach is a valuation approach that reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost). In certain situations, historical cost of the asset may be considered by the valuer where it has been prescribed by the applicable regulations/law/guidelines or is appropriate considering the nature of the asset.

The following are the three most commonly used methods for valuation of business under the Cost approach:

  • Net asset Value method (NAV)
  • Adjusted NAV

It should be understood that the valuation of any company or its assets is inherently subjective and is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. In performing our analysis, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Companies. In addition, this valuation will fluctuate with changes in prevailing market conditions, the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Companies, and other factors which generally influence the valuation of the Companies.

The application of any particular method of valuation depends on the purpose for which the valuation is done. Although different values may exist for different purposes, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. Our choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at by using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for mergers of a similar nature and our reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner based on previous experiences of assignments of a similar nature.

In our valuation analysis, we have considered the market price method and CCM method of market approach and DCF method of income approach. Though we have computed the value of both the companies using net asset value method of cost approach based on the underlying net assets and liabilities. We have not assigned

Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP
Armslength Advisors Private Limited
Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation of Kopran Laboratories Limited into Kopran Limited

any weight to cost approach as this method is generally less considered in case of operating companies valued on going concern basis.

Market Price method

Since the shares of KL are listed on both BSE and NSE and are frequently traded, we have considered the market price method for KL.

The Board of Directors of KL approved the Scheme of Amalgamation for amalgamation of KLL into KL on 20 March 2025. As informed by the management, due to procedural delays, KL has to submit an updated recommendation of fair equity Share Exchange Ratio based on the latest financial statements. Since the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation was announced on 20 March 2025, subsequent share prices may reflect the impact of the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation and not fairly represent KL’s value. ALA has also compared value of KL using the ICDR Regulations as on current date and 19 March 2025, wherein 19 March 2025 yielded a higher value. Considering the market price on 19 March 2025 computed per ICDR regulations is higher, ALA has used the same in the valuation analysis.

Further, this method could not be applied in the case of KLL as the shares of KLL are not listed on any stock exchange. The promoters of KLL purchased 76,260 shares from certain non-promoter shareholders on 19 March 2025 at a price of INR 142 per share. Based on information made available by the management, such price was determined using the valuation principles provided in Rule 11UA of Income Tax Rules, 1962, which is based on Net Asset Value Method. The Net Asset Value Method is generally not considered an appropriate method for determining fair value, since it does not capture the earning capacity of the business. As a result, the price per share of INR 142 has not been considered by ALA to determine the fair value of KLL for the Proposed Amalgamation.

The market price of an equity shares as quoted on a stock exchange is normally considered as the value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares.

The Pricing formula provided in Regulations 164 (1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2018 ('ICDR') in pricing of preferential issue, in case of frequently traded shares, has been considered for arriving at the value per equity share of the Companies under the market price method.

The market price is considered as higher of following:

(a) the 90 trading days volume weighed average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange preceding the relevant date; or
(b) the 10 trading days volume weighed average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognised stock exchange preceding the relevant date;

Vide SEBI master circular ‘SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93’ dated 20 June 2023, the ‘Relevant Date’ for the purpose of computing pricing shall be the date of Board meeting in which the scheme is approved. It is clarified that the ‘relevant date’ for the purpose of computing pricing shall be the date of Board meeting in which the scheme is approved.”

Comparable Companies Multiple Method

Since the shares of KLL are not listed on any stock exchange, we could not apply Market Price method in KLL. For estimation of value of KLL, under market approach we have applied CCM method. As mentioned earlier, CCM method involves valuing an asset based on market multiples derived from prices of market comparables traded on active market. Further, the valuer may also consider various factors of differences and make appropriate adjustment to the market multiple, e.g. size of the asset; geographic location; profitability; stage of life cycle of the asset, diversification; historical and expected growth; or management profile. Accordingly, we have considered relative EV/EBITDA multiples for arriving at the equity value of KLL.

Based on above, the equity shares of KL to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue cannot be lower than the higher of 10 trading days’ volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) and 90 trading days’ VWAP (“Preferential Issue Price”).

Working Note 2.1: Computation of Multiple

We have considered comparable companies listed in India classified under Medical equipment manufacturers, technology distributors and healthcare distributors (Source: www.capitaliq.com), engaged in similar business operations as KLL / the comparable companies which broadly reflect the risk and opportunities of KLL and adequate trading volumes. EBITDA margin of Maestros Electronics & Telecommunications Systems Limited (“Maestros”) was significantly lower in the January–March 2025 quarter compared to its historical margins, thus TTM EV/EBITDA multiple does not appropriately represent the fair value and accordingly no weights have been assigned to Maestros EV/EBITDA multiple.

2. Value per equity share of KLL as per CCM method of Market Approach

Computation of Value:
Adjusted EV/EBITDA Multiple 7.59
EBITDA of KLL (TTM) (INR Mn) 348.85
Enterprise Value (INR Mn) 2,647.28
Add: Cash & Cash Equivalents (INR Mn) 298.05
Less: Borrowings (INR Mn) (156.75)
Equity Value (INR Mn) 2,788.57
No. of shares (Mn) 5.30
Value per share (in INR) 525.6

To estimate the enterprise value of KLL, listed comparable companies from engaged in the medical equipment and medical consumables manufacturing have been considered for computation of the multiple. The table below gives the computation of the EV/ EBITDA multiple.

S. No Company Name Market Cap¹ Debt² Firm Value Enterprise value EBITDA³ Weigts⁴
1 QMS Medical Allied Services Ltd 1,385.72 602.86 1,988.57 2,119.49 254.08 50%
2 Tarsons Products Ltd 19,779.81 3,285.61 23,065.42 22,808.90 1,107.26 25%
3 Centenial Surgical Suture Ltd. 536.79 300.10 836.89 834.69 62.72 25%
Weighted EV/EBITDA 12.65
Discount* 40%
Adjusted multiple 7.59
  1. Market capitalization has been calculated as the product of 10 days VWAP (NSE) as on 06 August 2025 and the latest number of shares outstanding.
  2. Debt amount has been sourced from the latest available Balance sheet. Enterprise value is derived by adjusting the firm value for cash and cash equivalents, investments, and non-controlling interest, all taken from the latest available balance sheet.
  3. Due to unavailability of financials for quarter ended 30 June 2025, EBITDA has been considered on the basis of latest available financials year ending 31 March 2025.
  4. Weights has been given considering the size and operations and growth

The weighted EV/EBITDA multiple has been adjusted by a discount of 40%. This discount reflects the adjustment for illiquidity of unlisted entity's shares, along with other factors such as the entity's size and diversity, its ability to withstand adverse economic conditions, the rate of growth in earnings, reliance on a small number of key employees, diversity and quality of the product range and customer base, level of borrowing, quality of earnings, and the risks associated with the illiquidity of the shares.

The Board of Directors,

Dr Elijah Moses Rd, Upper Worli,
Mumbai, Maharashtra 400018

Dear Members of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors,

1. Engagement Background

We understand that the Management of Kopran Laboratories Limited (“KLL” or the “Transferor Company”) and Kopran Limited (“KL” or the “Transferee Company”) (jointly referred to as “Companies”) are contemplating Amalgamation (Merger by Absorption) of KLL with KL and their respective shareholders and creditors through a Scheme of Amalgamation pursuant to Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rules framed thereunder (“Proposed Amalgamation”).

The terms and conditions of the Proposed Amalgamation are more fully set out in the scheme of Amalgamation shared with us, the final version of which will be filed by the aforementioned companies with the appropriate authorities.

We understand that the Valuation as well as the swap ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation is based on the Joint Valuation Report dated March 20, 2025 read with addendum to the said report dated August 07, 2025 issued by Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP, Independent valuer registered with Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (“IBBI”) with Registration No. IBBI/RV-E/05/2021/155 signed by Parag Mehta, Partner with IBBI Membership No.: IBBI/RV/05/2019/11608, and Armslength Advisors Private Limited, Registered Valuer Entity with Registration No. IBBI/RV-E/14/2024/212 signed by Amit K Singh, Director, IBBI Membership No.: IBBI/RV/14/2019/12357 (“Valuers”).

We, Saffron Capital Advisors Private Limited, a SEBI registered Category-I Merchant Banker, have been engaged by KL to give a fairness opinion (“Opinion”) on Joint Valuation Certificate dated August 07,2025 issued by Valuers.

2. Background of the companies and Rationale

Kopran Limited is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished dosage forms in India and internationally. KL offers its products in various dosage forms,

SEBI Registration No: INM000011211

Continuation Sheet

including tablets, capsules, syrups, dry powder, suspension, and injectables, as well as branded and generic formulations. KL was incorporated on 26 Apr 1958 under the Companies Act, 1956 and has its registered office at Mumbai, India. For financial year 2025, KL reported consolidated revenue from operations of INR 6,319.0 mn and net profit of INR 385.5 mn.

Kopran Laboratories Limited is engaged in carrying out the business of trading of medical equipment, reagents and consumables, providing laboratory automation solutions and delivering projects in hospital infrastructure. KLL was incorporated on 12 August 1986 under the Companies Act, 1956 and has its registered office at Mumbai, India. For financial year 2025, KLL reported revenue from operations of INR 1,080.4 mn and net profit of INR 209.9 mn.

In order to consolidate the different segments of business in the same industry carried on by the Companies and effectively manage the Transferor Company and Transferee Company as a single entity which shall provide several benefits including streamlined group structure by reducing the number of legal entities and reducing the multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances, rationalizing costs, it is intended to amalgamate the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company in accordance with the terms thereof.

The Board of Directors of KL approved the Scheme of Amalgamation for amalgamation of KLL into KL on 20 March 2025. As informed by the management, due to procedural delays, KL has to submit an updated recommendation of fair equity Share Exchange Ratio based on the latest financial statements. In this connection, Saffron Capital Advisors Private Limited, a SEBI registered Category-I Merchant Banker, have been engaged by KL to give a fairness opinion ("Opinion") on Joint Valuation Certificate dated August 07,2025 issued by Valuers.

We understand that the appointed date for the Proposed Amalgamation as per the draft scheme shall be opening business hours of 1 January 2025 or such other later date as the Board may decide.

3. Recommended Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed transaction

The Valuers has recommended the following share exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation:

"100 (One Hundred) equity shares of KL of INR 10/- each fully paid up for 45 (Forty-Five) equity shares of KLL of INR 10/- each fully paid up."

The above recommended Fair Equity Share Exchange Ratio works out to be the same as recommended in the Valuer's Report dated March 20, 2025.

We have relied upon the joint valuation report (together with the other facts and assumptions set forth therein) into account while determining the meaning of "fairness", from a financial point of view, for the purposes of this Opinion.

obligation is accepted to provide recipients with access to any additional information or to correct any inaccuracies which might become apparent. Recipients are advised to independently conduct their own investigation and analysis of the business of the Companies. The report has been prepared solely for the purpose of giving a fairness opinion on Joint Valuation Certificate issued for the Proposed Amalgamation between KLL and KL and may not be applicable or referred to or quoted in any other context.

Our opinion is dependent on the information provided to us being complete and accurate in all material respects. Our scope of work does not enable us to accept responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us. The scope of our assignment does not involve performing audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the fairness or accuracy of any financial or analytical information used during the course of our work. As such we have not performed any audit, review or examinations of any of the historical or prospective information used and, therefore, do not express any opinion with regard to the same. In addition, we do not take any responsibility for any changes in the information used for any reason, which may occur subsequent to this date.

We have not received the Draft Proposed Amalgamation Document and hence, we have not relied on the Draft Proposed Amalgamation Document while arriving at our opinion.

One should note that valuation is not an exact science and that estimating values necessarily involves selecting a method or approach that is suitable for the purpose. Moreover, in this case where the shares of KL are being issued as consideration to the shareholders of KLL, it is not the absolute valuation that is important for framing an opinion but the relative valuation of the KLL vis-a-vis shares of KL. We have assumed that the Final Scheme of Amalgamation will not differ in any material respect from the Draft Scheme of Amalgamation shared with us.

We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might arise from the Proposed Amalgamation on KL, KLL and their respective shareholders, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that the respective companies have obtained such advice as they deemed necessary from qualified professionals. We have undertaken no independent analysis of any potential or actual litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims, government investigation or other contingent liabilities to which KL, KLL and/or their associates/subsidiaries, are or may be a party.

The company has been provided with an opportunity to review the Draft Opinion as part of our standard practice to make sure that factual inaccuracy/omissions are avoided in our Final Opinion. Our Opinion is not intended to and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such holder should vote or act in connection with the Proposed Amalgamation or any matter thereto.

We have audited the accompanying Audited Standalone Financial Results of Kopran Limited (the “Company”) for the quarter and the year ended March 31, 2025 (“the Statement”), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the audited standalone annual financial statements. The Company’s Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other and total comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the applicable Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with relevant Rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Board of Directors.

In preparing the Statement, the Management and the 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 the Management and the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Management and the Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 the Statement.

231


KHANDELWAL JAIN & CO.
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
CONTINUATION SHEET

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 Statement, 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 in place an adequate internal financial control with reference to the 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 in the Statement made by the Board of Directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ 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 Statement 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 Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement 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.

We are independent of the Group 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 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 obtained by us and other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in “Other Matter” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

The Statement have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulations 33 of the Listing Regulations. The respective Management and the Board of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of their respective entities 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Management and Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Statement, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective companies to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the respective company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the respective companies.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 Standard on Auditing (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 the Statement.

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 Statement, 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 Group has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the 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 the Board of Directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ 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 ability of the Group 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 Statement 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the consolidated financial results / financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial results, 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 of the Holding Company and the respective auditors communicate with those charged with governance of such other entities included in the consolidated financial results of which other auditors are the independent auditors 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 communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

We also perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.

Also, the figures up to the end of the third quarter of the respective financial year were subjected to only a limited review by us and not subject to an audit.

Our report on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.

The Members of
Kopran Laboratories Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kopran Laboratories Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 (“the ICAI”) 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.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 identified above when it becomes available 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 therein, we are required to report that fact and communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management for the 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 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 (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 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.

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.

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

Auditor's Responsibilities 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 and Board of Directors.

  • 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 auditors' 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.

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

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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

  1. As required by the Companies (Auditors' Report) Order, 2020 ("the Order") issued by the Central Government of India in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in "Annexure A" a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

Annexure "B" to the Independent Auditors' Report

(Referred to in paragraph 2A(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date to the Members of Kopran Laboratories Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act')

We have audited the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting of Kopran Laboratories Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining Internal Financial Controls based on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Control Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with reference to the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (“the Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under Section 143 (10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls. Those standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the Internal Financial Controls System Over Financial Reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting included obtaining an understanding of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

CONTINUATION SHEET

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to the financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to the financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to the financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to the financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to the financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the criteria for internal control over financial reporting established by the Company considering the essential components of internal controls stated in the Guidance Note issued by ICAI.

This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (Ind AS 34), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

Scope of Review

  1. 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. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statements is free of material misstatement. 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 Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 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.

Management’s Responsibility for the Ind AS Financial Statements

  1. The Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of these Ind AS Financial Statements to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income) of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Sec. 133 of the Act, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, Board of Directors 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.

Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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.

287


KHANDELWAL JAIN & CO.
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

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 on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern; and

  • 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.
