Message from the Chairman

Dear Stakeholders,

th I am pleased to present you with the 56 Annual Report of your Company.

The financial year 2018-19 was the first complete year of the "New" Unichem with the world as its market. Your Company is today set to reap the rewards of over six decades of consistent commitment to the basic values of integrity, quality and reliability in its thrust to develop a global market.

In conducting our business, we are guided by the famous quote widely attributed to Aristotle - "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

It is this approach of constantly striving for excellence that has led to your Company being known for "Quality" and "Reliability" the world over. Unichem today is known globally for its excellence in drug manufacturing, both in the areas of APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) and Formulations. The dedication to excellence will ensure the long-term success of your Company in the global pharma market.

This intrinsic philosophy saw your Company's facilities successfully clearing multiple inspections by regulatory bodies from across the globe during the year under review. These included successful completion of USFDA (US Food and Drug Administration) inspections of the Formulation and API facilities at Ghaziabad, Roha and Pithampur. Your Company also received an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) for its Jogeshwari office (Mumbai) for post marketing adverse drug experience inspection. I am confident that our drive for quality, reliability and excellence will ensure that we continue to not just meet but surpass the stringent cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards required for doing business in the regulated markets.

Post divestment of the Domestic Formulation Business, your Company has continued to focus its energies in the global regulated markets, which is evident from the robust performance it has delivered in the USA formulation business with a significant improvement over the past years.

Standalone Sales / Income from Operations (Gross) increased to 96,773.89 lakhs from66,646.97 lakhs in the previous year, registering a growth of 45.20%. Consolidated Sales/Income from Operations (Gross) stood at 1,18,004.68 lakhs as compared to81,498.48 lakhs (continuing operations) in the previous year, registering an increase of 44.80%.

Sanitation units at Goa, Kolhapur and Baddi

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

UNICHEM - TOUCHING LIVES

The thought of giving back to the society is deeply embedded into the DNA of your Company. This DNA always encourages it to channelize its resources towards touching numerous lives. The constant urge to make a difference, inspires your Company to be part of various projects spread across the society, resulting in touching thousands of lives. The initiatives by your Company provide a platform to its employees to volunteer and do their bit for the society. The support and involvement from the leadership team makes it easily possible.

Your Company's CSR activities are focused in the below mentioned sectors:

  • ! Health and Sanitation
  • ! Education and Infrastructure
  • ! Environment

HEALTH AND SANITATION

Sanitation Units

Your Company took a major step towards the welfare of the society in one of the most crucial areas of Health and Sanitation at various locations across India, by building multiple sanitation units.

Kolhapur

In the rural areas of Kolhapur, girls do not have access to education, one of the reasons being the unavailability of sanitation facilities. To solve this issue and to support education, your Company has built and is maintaining toilets for use of 350 children at schools of Kumar Vidyamandir and Kanya Vidyamandir, Talandage situated at the outskirts of the city.

Goa

Your Company has constructed community toilets in a market in Saligao Village. This was supported by the Village Panchayat of Saligao. This market is always flooded with people who come from surrounding areas, as it is the only market available in 6 kms radius. This initiative will help almost 400 to 500 people a day.

Baddi and Ghaziabad

Your Company has constructed many modular toilets in the area in and around Baddi in the past couple of years. This year similar twin modular toilets were constructed and are being maintained in Ghaziabad.

This area also covers government schools and police stations. As a commitment to maintain the facility, water and electricity supply in the toilets is provided by your Company.

Health checkup at Schools in Goa

Health checkup and Awareness program was executed by the Voluntary Health Association of Goa, at the Seminary of Our Lady, Pilerne. The medical camp was conducted exclusively for all students in schools in and around Pilerne and Saligao by Pediatricians, Dermatologists, Ophthalmologists and Dentists from the Goa Medical College and Goa Dental College, making it a self-sustaining initiative. Approximately 2,100 students were covered. Employees also volunteered for this health checkup at the schools.

Renovation of Government Hospital at Pithampur

Under this initiative your Company has renovated the infrastructure and upgraded the facilities in the government hospital at Pithampur. This is aimed to provide better and quality health services and infrastructure to patients. Renovation of labor room, operation theater, pathology lab, 2 OPDs, X-Ray room and postpartum room was completed with air conditioning, wherever required, and with proper electrification and lighting.

Adiwasi Unnati Mandal (AUM)

AUM was founded by the late Shri Amrut Mody along with cofounder the late Shri Shantibhai Sheth in the area of Shahpur Taluka in Thane district. Your Company's Chairman & Managing Director, Dr. Prakash A. Mody, has actively continued this legacy inherited by him with great enthusiasm and vigour. The activities include health checkups, distribution of first aid boxes, eye operations, vision enhancement aids, treatment of diseases like Leprosy etc.

Children of the World (India)

Your Company tied up with Children of the World (India) a non-profit, secular charitable trust. Their residential centre "Vishwabalak Kendra" at Nerul, Navi Mumbai, shelters lost, abandoned or relinquished infants and children, with the aim of placing them within loving and nurturing families. The Centre caters to about 80 children every year. The primary objective of the Child Care Centre is to nurture the children, providing them with a professionally managed loving home, full of care, warmth and an opportunity for physical, emotional and intellectual growth, until they are rehabilitated with suitable adoptive families through legal procedures, at the earliest. Some of these children have special needs.

Your Company's support helped to provide better care and facilities for children who reside at the Child Care Centre.

Road development for Village at Roha

Along with the Gram Panchayat of Roha, your Company has taken initiatives to develop the local village road in Roha. This road will help the local people to have better infrastructure.

Goa, Baddi, Roha and Ghaziabad

School benches, bags, stationary kits etc. were distributed to students in government schools across various locations in the country.

School playground was renovated for the school children in Baddi. Swings and children's slides were set up for children to enjoy the playground.

Your Company donated laptops in schools at Roha. This gives the students an opportunity to enter the world of digital education which is the need of the hour.

Your Company took an initiative to renovate government school buildings at Roha and Baddi. These initiatives are providing students and teachers with a conducive educational environment.

Indian Pharmaceutical Association

Your Company provides scholarships to aspiring pharma students for the course spread over four years. These scholarships are provided to students who are inclined towards studies but are not able to afford education. Around 40 students benefited from this initiative.

ENVIRONMENT

Tree plantation and protection awareness at Goa

As part of World Environment Day celebration, your Company distributed saplings to the employees so that they could plant the same in their villages and neighbourhood. A training session was also conducted to educate the employees about environment protection and reducing use of plastic.

    1. On July 9, 2014, the European Commission ("EU") decided to impose an unjustified fine of Euro 13.96 million, jointly and severally on the Company and its subsidiary Niche Generics Ltd ("Niche") contending that they had acted in breach of EU competition law as Niche Generics Ltd had, in early 2005 (when the Company was only a part owner and financial investor in Niche) had agreed to settle a financially crippling patent litigation with Laboratories Servier. The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing on the part of either itself or Niche. Both the Company and Niche had submitted appeals in September 2014 to the General Court of the EU seeking appropriate relief in the matter. The General Court of the EU has rejected the appeals vide Order dated December 12, 2018 and confirmed the fine of Euro 13.96 million. The Company and its subsidiary based on legal advice and merits, has filed an appeal against the decision of General Court before the Court of Justice of the EU and outcome of the appeal is awaited. Considering the above, in view of the management, no provision for the aforesaid fine is considered necessary. Based on above, fine imposed by the EU of Euro 13.96 million (equivalent to `10,890.20 lakhs) is disclosed by the Company under contingent liability in the current year.

Annexure F to Directors' Report

Particulars under Section 197 (12) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 5 (1) of the Companies (Appointment and Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014

(I) The ratio of the remuneration of each Director to the median remuneration of the employees of the Company for the financial year 2018-2019

Name of the Director Ratio
Dr. Prakash A. Mody (Chairman & Managing Director) 100.37:1
Mr. Dilip Kunkolienkar (Director Technical) 35.27:1

The Non-executive Independent Directors were only paid sitting fees during the year for attending meetings of the Board and Committees thereof. The principles governing increase in the remuneration of executive directors and increase in sitting fees payable to non-executive directors, are as per the Company's remuneration policy and are different. Further, the amount of sitting fees received by a non-executive director depends on (a) amount of sitting fee fixed by the Board for meetings of the Board and a particular Committee, and (b) number of meetings of the Board and Committee(s) attended by him. Therefore, the information as to ratio of sitting fees paid to the median remuneration of employees and percentage increase / decrease in remuneration of nonexecutive directors is not relevant and meaningful and hence their ratios are not provided.

(ii) The percentage increase / decrease in the remuneration of each Director, Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary or Manager during the financial year 2018-2019

The Company has been engaged in CSR activities since many years. During the year under review, the total amount to be spent was 226.91 lakhs. The Company spent156.51 lakhs on CSR which is 1.37% of the average profits, for the last three financial years. Balance amount of `70.40 lakhs remained unspent. The Company could not spend the balance amount since it was in the process of identifying appropriate CSR programs/projects in terms of its CSR policy. Further, certain funds even though allocated to approved educational and health projects by the CSR Committee were not disbursed since there was no requirement for these funds from the organizations/institutions during the year under review. 7.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Unichem Laboratories Limited

To

The Members of

Unichem Laboratories Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

    1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Unichem Laboratories Limited ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2019, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity, and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "standalone financial statements").
    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2019, the profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our 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 opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

  1. We draw attention to Note 35 of the standalone financial statements, which informs that the General Court of the European Union has on 12th December 2018 rejected the appeal and confirmed the fine of Euro 13.96 Million (equivalent to `10,890.20 lakhs) imposed by the European Commission jointly and severally on the Company and its subsidiary (Niche Generics Limited, UK).The Company based on legal advice and merits has filed an appeal against the decision of General Court before the Court of Justice of the European Union and outcome of the appeal is awaited. Considering the above, in view of the management, no provision for the aforesaid fine is considered necessary and is disclosed as a contingent liability in note 34(ii) of the standalone financial statement. This matter was reported under 'Emphasis of Matter' paragraph in our limited review report for the standalone financial results for the quarter and nine-months ended 31st December 2018 and auditor's report for the consolidated financial statement for the year ended 31st March 2018. Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.

Key Audit Matters

  1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

5.1. Contingent liability as elaborated above in 'Emphasis of Matter' paragraph

As elaborated in 'Emphasis of Matter' paragraph given above, the Company based on legal advice and merits has filed an appeal against the decision of General Court before the Court of Justice of the European Union and outcome of the appeal is awaited. This matter of contingent liability is considered as key audit matter for the current audit period and we have relied on the management assessment which is supported by legal advice and merits that the aforesaid fine is considered as contingent liability.

Refer to note. 34(ii) and note 35 of the standalone financial statements.

5.2. Impairment test of investment in subsidiaries at UK and Ireland

Investments in subsidiaries are carried in the Company's standalone financial statement at cost less impairment. The carrying value of investments made by the Company in its subsidiaries (Niche Generics Limited, UK and Unichem Laboratories Limited, Ireland) as per standalone financial statements is aggregating `8,273.97 lakhs as at 31st March 2019. In case of these subsidiaries, there are operating losses in current year, accumulated losses and low net-worth as at balance sheet date. Considering the overall exposure in these subsidiaries, need for impairment test was the key audit matter. Based on the financial projections of the above subsidiaries , the management is of the view that recoverable amount is higher than carrying value of these investments and there is no impairment of investments as at balance sheet date. For the purpose of our audit we have considered the following aspect:

  • a. Analytical review of gross margins earned by these subsidiaries
  • b. Discussion with management for business outlook (including future financial projections of the above subsidiaries) and plans for overall turnaround of these subsidiaries
  • c. Evaluated the performance in the current year as compared to last year and prior year achievement as compared to budget.
  • d. Discussion with the auditor's of subsidiaries for the basis on which they have concluded that there is no impairment of assets in the books of subsidiary.

Based on our evaluation of management estimates, other information & discussion with the management, we agree with the management views and estimates and conclude that no provision for impairment is required as at date of our audit report

Refer to note 5.2 of the standalone financial statements.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the 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 the Board of Directors 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 Standalone Financial Statements

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(I) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone 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.

ANNEXUREIITOTHEINDEPENDENTAUDITOR'SREPORTFORTHEYEARENDED31STMARCH2019

(Referredtoinpoint 10f underthe heading"ReportonOther Legal andRegulatoryRequirements"ofourReportof evendate)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Unichem Laboratories Limited ("the Company"), as of 31st March, 2019, in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

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 system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2019, 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 Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's Board of Directors 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 Controls over Financial Reporting ("the Guidance Note"), 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 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 ICAI and the and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statement. 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 was 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 standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone 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 that, 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 standalone financial statements in accordance with 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; and (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 standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In respect of amounts adjusted outside statement of profit or loss (i.e. in other comprehensive income or equity), the corresponding tax effect, if any, is also adjusted in other comprehensive income or in equity and not in statement of profit or loss.

Current tax

Provision for current tax is made as per the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where applicable.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

Minimum Alternate Tax Credit

The Company recognizes tax credits in the nature of Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which tax credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes tax credits as an asset, the said asset is created by way of tax credit to the statement of profit and loss.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts forfinancialreporting purposes atthe reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward tax losses and allowances to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, carry forward tax losses and allowances can be utilised.

Deferredtax assets andliabilities are measuredatthe tax rates that are expectedtoapply in the yearwhen the assetis realizedor the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against currenttax liabilities andthedeferredtaxes relate tothe same taxationauthority.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be utilized. In situations where the Company has unused tax losses and unused tax credits, deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that they can be utilized against future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying amounts at each Balance Sheet date.

At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises previously unrecognised deferredtax assets tothe extentthatit hasbecomeprobable thatfuture taxableprofit allowdeferredtax assets tobe recovered.

For units which enjoy tax holiday benefit, deferred tax assets and liabilities have been provided for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Dividend Distribution Tax

Dividend distribution tax arising out of payment of dividends to shareholders under the Indian Income Tax Act regulation are recognized in statement of changes in equity as part of associated dividend payment.

2.8. Property, plant and equipment (Tangible Assets) and depreciation

Subsequent to transition to Ind AS, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gross carrying amount of all property, plant and equipment are measured using cost model.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes purchase price including non - refundable taxes and duties, borrowing cost directly attributable to the qualifying asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and the present value of the expected cost for the dismantling/decommissioning of the asset.

Cost for subsequent additions comprises the purchase price and any other attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditures are added to its gross book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/part of the plant and equipment separately, if the component/part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining plant and equipment.

Pre-operation expenses and trial runs (net of revenue) and borrowing cost directly attributable to the cost of construction of the qualifying asset are treated as part of the project cost and are capitalized / allocated to the cost of asset in the year in which the project is completed. Administrative and other expenses which are not directly related to construction are charged to statement of profit and loss.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of tangible property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation is provided on all assets (other than free hold land and capital work-in-progress), on pro-rata basis, using following methods based on the respective estimate of useful lives as given below.

  • a) Straight-Line Method on buildings, plant and machinery, computers and servers
  • b) Written Down Value Method for others

The management believes that useful lives currently used is as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, fairly reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment.

Estimated useful lives of the PPEs are as follows:

Nature of assets Useful life
Leasehold land Over lease period [30 to 90 years]
Factory buildings on leasehold land Lower of 30 years or balance lease period
Buildings on freehold land 30 to 60 years
Roads 3 to 10 years
Plant and equipments [other than below ] 10 to 15 years
Plant and equipments [continuous processing assets and
other special equipment related to Pharma industry]
Furniture and fixture 10 years
Vehicles 8 years
Office equipments 3 to 5 years

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under ''Other non-current assets''. Cost of assets under construction / acquisition / not put to use at the Balance sheet date are disclosed under ''Capital work-in-progress''.

2.9. Investment property

Property that is held for long-term rentals yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are measured at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs less depreciation and impairment if any. Depreciation on building held as Investment Property is provided over it's useful life (of 60 years) using the straight line method.

The Company had applied one time transition exemption of considering the carrying cost on the transition date i.e. 1st April, 2015 as the deemed cost under Ind AS. During the year, there are amendments to Ind AS 40' Investment Property' and it does not impact Company's standalone financial statements.

2.10. Computer software's /licenses

Standalone software's / licenses cost is fully charged off to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of expenditure. These software's / licenses are for administrative purposes.

2.11. Non-Currentassetsheldfor saleanddiscontinuedoperations

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and financial assets which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of de-recognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.

Non-current assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.12. Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for any indication of impairment based on internal / external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of a) fair value of assets less cost of disposal and b) its value in use. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows expected to derive from an assets or Cash-Generating Unit (CGU).

Based on the assessment done at each balance sheet date, recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the depreciation charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less its residual value (if any), on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. If the conditions leading to recognition of impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased, impairment losses recognised are reversed to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined after considering depreciation / amortisation had no impairment loss been recognised in earlier years.

2.13. Research and development expenditure

Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless a product's technical feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalized.

Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale.
  • Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset.
  • How the asset will generate future economic benefits.
  • The availability of resources to complete the asset.
  • The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

The amount capitalized comprises expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment utilized for research and development are capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, plant and equipment and depreciation.

2.14. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. As at the Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated at closing exchange rate. Exchange difference arising on settlement or translation of foreign currency monetary items are recognised as income or expense in the year in which they arise.

Foreign currency non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of transactions. Foreign currency non-monetary items which are measured at fair value are reported using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange difference arising on fair valuation of non-monetary items is recognised in line with the gain or loss of item that give rise to such exchange difference (i.e. translation differences on items whose gain or loss is recognised in statement of profit and loss or other comprehensive income is also recognised in statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income respectively).

Also refer note 2.30.

2.15. Leases

Leases in which a substantial portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments and receipts under such leases are recognised to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straightline basis over the term of the lease unless the lease payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases, in which case the same are recognised as an expense in line with the contractual term. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee.

2.16. Inventories

Inventories consists of raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares, stock-in-trade, work-in-progress and finished goods. Inventories of raw materials, packing material, stores and spares are valued at cost and other inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolete / slow moving items. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Cost includes cost of purchase, non-refundable taxes and other costs / overheads incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

2.17. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Contingent assets are not recognised and disclosed only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.18. Employee benefits

i) Short-term employee benefit

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are classified as short term employee benefits and they are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

ii) Post-employment benefits

a. Defined contribution plan

The Company contributes fixed contribution to a government administered fund towards Provident Fund, Labour Welfare Fund, and Employee State Insurance Scheme and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contribution.

Certain employees of the Company are participants in Superannuation plan. The Company has no further obligations to the Superannuation plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to "Unichem Laboratories Limited Employees Superannuation Fund Trust", the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The Company's contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the related services.

b. Defined benefit plan

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.

Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Indian Government Bonds for the estimated term of obligations. The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to "Unichem Laboratories Limited Employees Gratuity Fund Trust", the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The current service cost and interest on the net defined benefit liability / (asset) is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Past service cost are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses net of deferred taxes arising from experience adjustment and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to statement of profit or loss in subsequent periods. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

iii) Other long-term benefits

The Company has other long-term benefits in the form of leave benefits and long-term bonus. The present value of the obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method carried out by independent actuary. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Indian Government Bonds for the estimated term of obligations. Actuarial gains or losses arising on account of experience adjustment and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss as income or expense. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of other long-term benefits are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

2.19. Equity settled share-based payments

Equity-settled share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value (i.e. excess of fair value over the exercise price of the option) of the Employee Stock Options Plan at the grant date. The fair value of option at the grant date is calculated by Black-Scholes model. In case the options are granted to employees of the Company, the fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company`s estimate of options that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. In case of the options granted to employees of Company's subsidiaries, the fair value of options granted to employees of the subsidiary companies are considered as capital contribution / investment.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in determining the diluted earnings per share.

2.20. Operating Segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). Operating Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance.

2.21. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated as per effective interest method, exchange difference arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are treated as an adjustment to the borrowing cost and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.22. Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with its conditions.

Government grants relating to income are recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the assets are credited in the statement of profit and loss over the expected useful life of the assets.

When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the fair value of the loan and the proceeds received.

2.23. Dividend distribution

Final equity dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim equity dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.

2.24. Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction cost related to buy-back of equity shares is reduced from the retained earnings / reserves, net of tax effects.

2.25. Earnings per equity share

The Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date.

The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, share split, etc.

2.26. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short term deposits, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any, as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.

2.27. Cash flow statement

Cash Flows are reported using Indirect Method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

2.28. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Effective interest method:

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial assets:

Cash and bank balances

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank balances, deposits with banks (other than on lien) and all short term highly liquid investments / mutual funds (with zero exit load at the time of investment) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Other bank balances includes balances and deposits with bank that are restricted for withdrawal and usage.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give riseonspecifieddates tocashflows that are solelypaymentsofprincipal andintereston theprincipal amountoutstanding.

Financial assets measured at fair value

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

In respect of equity investments (other than joint ventures) which are not held for trading, the Company has made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of such equity instruments. Such an election is made by the Company on an instrument by instrument basis at the time of initial recognition of such equity investments.

Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is carried at fair value through the statement of profit and loss.

Investment in Subsidiaries and Associates

The Company has accounted for its investments in Subsidiaries and Associates at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Company had elected to adopt the carrying value under previous GAAP as on the date of transition i.e. 1st April, 2015 in its separate financial statements. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed. Where the carrying amount of an investment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss. On disposal of investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to

the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets [other than investment in subsidiaries and associates]

The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

De-recognition of financial assets

The Company de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method where the time value of money is significant. Interest bearing bank loans and overdrafts are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Company de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Asset-liability matching strategies

The trustees of the plan have outsourced the investment management of the fund to an insurance company. The insurance company in turn manages these funds as per the mandate provided to them by the trustees and the asset allocation which is within the permissible limits prescribed in the insurance regulations. Due to the restrictions in the type of investments that can be held by the fund, it may not be possible to explicitly follow an asset-liability matching strategy to manage risk actively in a conventional fund.

Determination offair values: The following are the basis of assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities thataremeasuredatfairvalueonrecurringbasis.

Investmentinmutualfunds :The fair values represent net asset value as statedby the issuersofthesemutualfundunits in thepublished statements.Netasset values representthepriceatwhichtheissuerwill issuefurtherunits inthemutualfundandthepriceatwhichissuers willredeemsuchunitsfromtheinvestors.

Equityinvestments:a)Equityinvestmentstradedinanactivemarketdeterminedbyreferencetotheirquotedmarketprices.

b)During the year the Company has made investments in equity shares of unlisted companies aggregating to `12,000.62 lakhs. The Company has elected to categorize these investment as fair value through other comprehensive income.Based on the overall evaluation carriedoutby theCompany of the investee company and considering no significant variation in their financial performance, cost of these investment is considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value as at Balance Sheet date. During the year there are no gains / losses from such investments.

54 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's activities are exposed to variety of financial risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risks), credit risks and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company through established policies and processes which are laid down to ascertain the extent of risks, setting appropriate limits, controls, continuous monitoring and its compliance.

Market risk:

Market risk refers to the possibility that changes in the market rates may have impact on the Company's profits or the value of its holding of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to market risks on account of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and underlying equity prices.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk:

The Company's foreign currency risk arises from its foreign operations, investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency transactions. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. Since a major part of the Company's revenue is in foreign currency and major part of the costs are in Indian Rupees, any movement in currency rates would have impact on the Company's performance. Consequently, the overall objective of the foreign currency risk management is to minimize the short term currency impact on its revenue and cash-flow in order to improve the predictability of the financial performance.The major foreign currency exposures for the Company are denominated in USD & EURO. Additionally, there are transactions which are entered into in other currencies and are not significant in relation to the total volume of the foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges all trade receivables upto a maximum of 6 months forward based on historical trends. Hedge effectiveness is assessed on a regular basis.The following table sets forth information relating to foreign currency exposure from USD, EUR and other currencies (which are not material) form non-derivative financial instruments:

Interest Rate Risk:

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates and where the borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments or borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk:

The Company adopts a policy of ensuring that maximum of its interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed rate and there are no financial instruments with floating interest rates.

Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk materially consists of trade receivables, investments and derivative financial instruments.

All trade receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through established policies, controls relating to credit approvals and procedures for continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables (other than from subsidiaries) and unbilled revenues. The Company does not have significant concentration of credit risk related to trade receivables. In the current year there is a single third party customer which contributes to more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable (excluding outstanding from subsidiaries) as of 31st March 2019. In previous year, no single third party customer contributes to more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable (excluding outstanding from subsidiaries).

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities having and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The company does not expect any losses from non- performance by these counter-parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors.

None of the financial instruments of the company result in material concentration of credit risk. Geographic concentration of credit risk relating to trade receivable (other than subsidiaries) is predominantly there in USA i.e. above 10% and less than 10% in other countries. Refer note no. 11 for movement in expected credit loss allowance.

Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company generates cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations, maintains adequate liquid assets in the form of cash & cash equivalents and has undrawn short term line of credits from banks to ensure necessary liquidity.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements on the Company. The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

The Company monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends on its equity shares. The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain an optimal structure so as to maximize shareholder value.The Company is predominantly equity financed.

This matter was reported in our auditor's report for the consolidated financial statement for the year ended 31st March 2018. Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.

Key Audit Matters

  1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Refer to note 36(ii) and note 37 of the consolidated financial statements.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

  1. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the 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 financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 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 consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

Other matters

  1. We did not audit the standalone financial statements of five subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect total assets of 47,119.32 lakhs and total net assets of1,457.27 lakhs as at 31st March, 2019, total revenues (including other income) of 74,656.05 lakhs and net cash inflow amounting to124.55 lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") Opinion

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Unichem Laboratories Limited ("the Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group") and its associate company as of and for the year ended 31st March 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Holding Company.

In our opinion the Holding Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2019, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in 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'). 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 Holding 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Holding Company 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 ICAI and the and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statement. 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 was 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Holding Company.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

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

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2. Significant accounting policies

2.1. Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended for rules issued thereafter, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

2.2. Basis of preparation and presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on accrual basis except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value amount:

  • i. Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments);
  • ii. Defined benefit plans plan assets;
  • iii. Equity settled share based payments;
  • iv. Assets held for sale

The financial statements are in accordance with Division II of Schedule III to the Act, as applicable to the Holding Company.

2.3. Basis of Consolidation

  • i) The Holding Company consolidates all entities which it controls. Control is established when the Holding Company has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has ability to affect the entity's returns by using its power over the entity.
  • ii) The Holding Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Holding Company.
  • iii) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Holding Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Holding Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
  • iv) Where the cost of the investment is higher than the share of equity in the subsidiary at the time of acquisition, the resulting difference is treated as goodwill. Where the cost of the equity is lower than the share of equity in the subsidiary, the difference is treated as capital reserve.
  • v) The financial statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries are combined on a line by line basis by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, incomes, expenses and cash flows, after fully eliminating intra-group balances and intra-group transactions.
  • vi) Profits or losses resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and property,

plant & equipment, are eliminated in full. Tax impact is given for the intra-group eliminations wherever applicable.

  • vii) In case of subsidiaries, revenue items are converted at the average rate prevailing during the year. All assets and liabilities are converted at rates prevailing at the end of the year. Any exchange difference arising on consolidation is recognised in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve in 'other equity'.
  • viii) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary.
  • ix) Investment in associates where the Holding Company holds more than 20% of equity and/or having significant influence, are accounted for using equity method as per Ind AS 28 - Investments in Associates and joint ventures.
  • x) The Holding Company accounts for its share of post-acquisition changes in net assets of associates, after eliminating unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Holding Company and its associates to the extent of its share, to the extent such change is attributable to the associates' Statement of Profit and Loss.
  • xi) The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

2.4. Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are presented in the Balance Sheet based on current or non-current classification as per Group's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the division II of Schedule III of the Act.

Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current/ non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

2.5. Functional currency and presentation of currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Holding Company operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Holding Company's functional and presentation currency. All amounts are rounded to the nearest rupees in lakhs. The functional currency of foreign subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.

2.6. Use of significant accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as on the date of financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed below.

  • I) Estimation of useful life of Property, plant and equipment (refer note no 2.9 and 3)
  • ii) Estimation of useful life of intangible assets (refer note no 2.12 and 3)
  • iii) Impairment of goodwill (refer note no. 2.13 and 3)
  • iv) Impairment of Property, plant and equipment and Capital work-in-progress (refer note no 2.15 and 3)
  • v) Estimation of provisions and contingent liabilities (refer note 2.20, 27 and 36)
  • vi) Estimation of defined benefit plan and other long term benefits(refer note no 2.21, 20, 27 and 47)
  • vii) Fair value measurement and impairment of financial instruments (refer note no 2.31, 33 and 51)

2.7. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is recognised on satisfaction of performance obligation as per contract and upon transfer of control of products to customers.

Revenue is measured at the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty (upto 30th June 2017) and net of other indirect taxes, discounts, rebates, expiry claims and sales returns.

Income from services including commission income, product development revenue and licence fees income is recognized when the services are rendered or when contracted milestones have been achieved and is recorded net of indirect taxes.

Export benefits are recognised as income when right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.

Interest income on financial assets is recognised using the effective interest rate.

Dividend income is recognized when the Group right to receive the payment is established, it is probable that the economic

benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

Rental income on investment property given under operating lease arrangements is recognized on straight line basis over the lease term in accordance with terms of agreement. Rental income is recorded net of indirect tax and expenses which are directly attributable to investment property.

Also refer note 2.33.

2.8. Taxes

Income Tax expenses for the year comprises of current tax, deferred tax charge or credit, minimum alternate tax credit and adjustments of taxes for earlier years that may become necessary due to certain developments or reviews during the relevant period. In respect of amounts adjusted outside statement of profit or loss (i.e. in other comprehensive income or equity), the corresponding tax effect, if any, is also adjusted in other comprehensive income or in equity and not in statement of profit or loss.

Current tax

Provision for current tax is made as per the provisions of governing tax laws. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where applicable.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

Minimum Alternate Tax Credit

The Group recognizes tax credits in the nature of Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which tax credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognizes tax credits as an asset, the said asset is created by way of tax credit to the statement of profit and loss.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward tax losses and allowances to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, carry forward tax losses and allowances can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxation authority.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be utilized. In situations where the Group has unused tax losses and unused tax credits, deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that they can be utilized against future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying amounts at each Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities arising out of temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries and associates, are not recognised when the Holding Company can control the timing of the reversal of temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in foreseeable future.

At each reporting date, the Group re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises previously unrecognised deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit allow deferred tax assets to be recovered.

For units which enjoy tax holiday benefit, deferred tax assets and liabilities have been provided for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends.

Dividend Distribution Tax

Dividend distribution tax arising out of payment of dividends to shareholders under the Indian Income Tax Act regulation are recognized in statement of changes in equity as part of associated dividend payment.

2.9. Property, plant and equipment (Tangible Assets) and depreciation

Subsequent to transition to Ind AS, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gross carrying amount of all property, plant and equipment are measured using cost model.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes purchase price including non - refundable taxes and duties, borrowing cost directly attributable to the qualifying asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and the present value of the expected cost for the

dismantling/decommissioning of the asset.

Cost for subsequent additions comprises the purchase price and any other attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditures are added to its gross book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

The Group identifies and determines cost of each component/part of the plant and equipment separately, if the component/part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining plant and equipment.

Pre-operation expenses and trial runs (net of revenue) and borrowing cost directly attributable to the cost of construction of the qualifying asset are treated as part of the project cost and are capitalized / allocated to the cost of asset in the year in which the project is completed. Administrative and other expenses which are not directly related to construction are charged to statement of profit and loss.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of tangible property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation is provided on all asses (other than free hold land and capital work-in-progress), on pro-rata basis, using following methods based on the respective estimate of useful lives as given below.

  • a) Straight-Line Method on buildings, plant and machinery, computers and servers
  • b) Written-Down Value Method for others

The management believes that useful lives currently used is as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Indian Companies Act, 2013, fairly reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment.

Estimated useful lives of the PPEs are as follows:

Nature of assets Useful life
Leasehold land Over lease period [30 to 90 years]
Factory buildings on leasehold land Lower of 30 years or balance lease period
Buildings on freehold land 30 to 60 years
Roads 3 to 10 years
Plant and equipment's [other than below ] 10 to 15 years
Plant and equipment's [continuous processing assets and
other special equipment's related to Pharma industry] 20 to 25 years
Furniture and fixture 5 to 10 years
Vehicles 8 years
Office equipments 3 to 5 years

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under ''Other non-current assets''. Cost of assets under construction / acquisition / not put to use at the Balance sheet date are disclosed under ''Capital work-in-progress''

2.10. Investment Property

Property that is held for long-term rentals yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are measured at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs less depreciation and impairment if any. Depreciation on building held as Investment Property is provided over its useful life (of 60 years) using the straight line method.

The Holding Company had applied one time transition exemption of considering the carrying cost on the transition date i.e. 1st April, 2015 as the deemed cost under Ind AS. During the year, there are amendments to Ind AS 40' Investment Property' and it does not impact Group's consolidated financial statements.

2.11. Computer software's / licenses

Consolidated software's / licenses cost is fully charged off to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of expenditure. These software's / licenses are for administrative purposes.

2.12. Intangible Assets and amortization

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets comprise licence submission fees which are amortised over their estimated useful economic life (expected to be about 5 years) from commencement of marketing. The estimated useful life of amortizable intangibles is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and change in estimates if any are accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.13. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid to acquire a business over underlying fair value of the identified assets acquired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

2.14. Non-Current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and financial assets which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of de-recognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.

Non-current assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.15. Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for any indication of impairment based on internal / external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of a) fair value of assets less cost of disposal and b) its value in use. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows expected to derive from an assets or Cash-Generating Unit (CGU).

Based on the assessment done at each balance sheet date, recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the depreciation charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less its residual value (if any), on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. If the conditions leading to recognition of impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased, impairment losses recognised are reversed to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined after considering depreciation / amortisation had no impairment loss been recognised in earlier years.

2.16. Research and development expenditure

Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless a product's technical feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalized.

Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale.
  • Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset.
  • How the asset will generate future economic benefits.
  • The availability of resources to complete the asset.
  • The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

The amount capitalized comprises expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment utilized for research and development are capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, plant and equipment and depreciation.

2.17. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. As at the Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated at closing exchange rate. Exchange difference arising on settlement or translation of foreign currency monetary items are recognised as income or expense in the year in

which they arise.

Foreign currency non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of transactions. Foreign currency non-monetary items which are measured at fair value are reported using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange difference arising on fair valuation of non-monetary items is recognised in line with the gain or loss of item that give rise to such exchange difference (i.e. translation differences on items whose gain or loss is recognised in statement of profit and loss or other comprehensive income is also recognised in statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income respectively).

Also refer note 2.33.

2.18. Leases

Leases in which a substantial portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments and receipts under such leases are recognised to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straightline basis over the term of the lease unless the lease payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases, in which case the same are recognised as an expense in line with the contractual term. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee.

2.19. Inventories

Inventories consists of raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares, stock-in-trade, work-in-progress and finished goods. Inventories of raw materials, packing material, stores and spares are valued at cost and other inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolete / slow moving items. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Cost includes cost of purchase, non-refundable taxes and other costs / overheads incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Contingent assets are not recognised and disclosed only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.21. Employee benefits

i) Short-term employee benefit

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are classified as short term employee benefits and they are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

ii) Post-employment benefits

a. Defined contribution plan

The Group contributes fixed contribution to a government administered fund and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contribution.

Certain employees of the Holding Company are participants in Superannuation plan. The Holding Company has no further obligations to the Superannuation plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to "Unichem Laboratories Limited Employees Superannuation Fund Trust", the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The Group's contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the related services.

b. Defined benefit plan

The Holding Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Holding Company.

Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent

actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Indian Government Bonds for the estimated term of obligations. The Holding Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to "Unichem Laboratories Limited Employees Gratuity Fund Trust", the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The current service cost and interest on the net defined benefit liability / (asset) is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Past service cost are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses net of deferred taxes arising from experience adjustment and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to statement of profit or loss in subsequent periods. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

iii) Other long-term benefits

The Holding Company has other long-term benefits in the form of leave benefits. The present value of the obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method carried out by independent actuary. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Indian Government Bonds for the estimated term of obligations. Actuarial gains or losses arising on account of experience adjustment and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss as income or expense. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of other long-term benefits are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

2.22. Equity settled share-based payments

Equity-settled share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value (i.e. excess of fair value over the exercise price of the option) of the Employee Stock Options Plan at the grant date. The fair value of option at the grant date is calculated by Black-Scholes model. In case the options are granted to employees of the Holding Company and Subsidiary Company, the fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the Holding Company`s estimate of options that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in determining the diluted earnings per share.

2.23. Operating Segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). Operating Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance.

2.24. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest expenses calculated as per effective interest method, exchange difference arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are treated as an adjustment to the borrowing cost and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.25. Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with its conditions.

Government grants relating to income are recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the assets are credited in the statement of profit and loss over the expected useful life of the assets.

When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the fair value of the loan and the proceeds received.

2.26. Dividend distribution

Final equity dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim equity dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Holding Company's Board of Directors.

2.27. Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction cost related to buy-back of equity shares is reduced from the retained earnings / reserves, net of tax effects.

2.28. Earnings per equity share

The Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of the Holding Company by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Holding Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date.

The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, share split, etc.

2.29. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short term deposits, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any, as they are considered an integral part of the Group's cash management.

2.30. Cash flow statement

Cash Flows are reported using Indirect Method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.

2.31. Financial instruments

Afinancial instrumentis any contractthat gives rise to a financial asset of one entity anda financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition orissue offinancial assets andfinancial liabilities (otherthan financial assets andfinancial liabilities atfair value through profit and loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initialrecognition of financial asset or financial liability. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit andloss are immediately recognisedinthe statementofprofit andloss.

Effective interest method:

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial assets:

Cash and bank balances

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank balances, deposits with banks (other than on lien) and all short term highly liquid investments / mutual funds (with zero exit load at the time of investment) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Other bank balances includes balances and deposits with bank that are restricted for withdrawal and usage.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets measured at fair value

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

In respect of equity investments (other than joint ventures) which are not held for trading, the Group has made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of such equity instruments. Such an election is made by the Group on an instrument by instrument basis at the time of initial recognition of such equity investments.

Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is carried at fair value through the statement of profit and loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

De-recognition of financial assets

The Group de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Holding Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Holding Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method where the time value of money is significant. Interest bearing bank loans and overdrafts are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Group de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

These plans typically expose the Holding Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

Investment risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

Interest risk : A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan debt investments.

Longevity risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Salary risk : The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

ii ) Fair value hierarchy

The financial instruments are categorized into three levels based on the inputs used to arrive at fair value measurements as described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Valuation techniques for which lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3: Valuation techniques for which lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly unobservable;

The following tables categorise the financial assets and liabilities held at fair value by the valuation methodology applied in determining their fair value.

Determination of fair values:

The following are the basis of assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis:

Investment in mutual funds :

The fair values represent net asset value as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements. Net asset values represent the price at which the issuer will issue further units in the mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.

Equity investments

a) Equity investments traded in an active market determined by reference to their quoted market prices.

b) During the year the Holding Company has made investments in equity shares of unlisted companies aggregating to ` 12,000.62 lakhs. The Holding Company has elected to categorize these investment as fair value through other comprehensive income. Based on the overall evaluation carried out by the Holding Company of the investee company and considering no significant variation in their financial performance, cost of these investment is considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value as at Balance Sheet date. During the year there are no gains / losses from such investments.

Derivative instruments :

For forward contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps, future cash flows are estimated based on forward exchange rates and forward interest rates (from observable forward exchange rates / yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract forward exchange rates and forward interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of respective counterparties

Foreigncurrencyexchangeraterisk:

The Group's foreign currency risk arises from its foreign operations, investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency transactions. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective consolidated entities.

Since a major part of the group's operating revenue is in foreign currency and major part of the costs are in Indian Rupees, any movement in currency rates would have impact on the group's performance. Consequently, the overall objective of the foreign currency risk management is to minimize the short term currency impact on its revenue and cash-flow in order to improve the predictability of the financial performance.

The major foreign currency exposures for the group are denominated in USD & EURO. Additionally, there are transactions which are entered into in other currencies and are not significant in relation to the total volume of the foreign currency exposures. The group hedges all trade receivables upto a maximum of 6 months forward based on historical trends. Hedge effectiveness is assessed on a regular basis.

The following table sets forth information relating to foreign currency exposure from USD, EUR and other currencies (which are not material)formnon-derivative financial instruments:

All trade receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. The Holding Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through established policies, controls relating to credit approvals and procedures for continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Holding Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Holding Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Holding Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables (otherthan from subsidiaries) and unbilled revenues. The Holding Company does not have significant concentration of credit risk related to trade receivables.In the current year, there are three third party customers which contributes to more than 10% of outstandingaccounts receivables asof31stMarch2019.Inprevious year,nosingle thirdparty customer contributedtomore than10%of outstandingaccountsreceivable.
