Sub: Declaration with respect to audit report with unmodified opinion on the unaudited financial results (standalone & consolidated) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and audited (standalone & consolidated) for the year ended March 31, 2020.

We hereby declare that unaudited financial results(standalone & consolidated) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the audited financial results (standalone and consolidated) for the year ended March 31, 2020, have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held today, i.e. Friday, June 19, 2020. The statutory auditors of the Company have not expressed any modified opinion(s) in their audit report.

However, we request you to take note of the Emphasis of Matter paragraph given by the auditors in their report on the standalone and consolidated results, which is as under:

We draw attention to note no. 7 and 8 of the consolidated and standalone statements respectively which informs that the General Court of the European Union had on 12th December, 2018 rejected the appeal and confirmed the fine of Euro 13.96 Million (equivalent to Rs. 11,614.72 lakhs) imposed by the European Commission jointly and severally on the Company and its subsidiary (Niche Generics Limited, UK). The Company and its subsidiary based on legal advice and merits, have filed appeals against the decision of General Court before the Court of Justice of the European Union and outcome of the appeals are awaited. Considering the above, in view of the management, no provision for the aforesaid fine is considered necessary. This matter was also reported earlier under 'Emphasis of Matter' paragraph in our report on the standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019. Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter."

Notes :

1 The above standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended 31st March, 2020 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 19th June, 2020. The statutory auditors have expressed an unqualified audit opinion on these standalone financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2020.

2 The above standalone financial results have been prepared in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") and the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. Effective from 1st April, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116-Leases and this did not have any material impact on the financial results of the Company.

3 Operating Segment : The Company has a single reportable segment i.e. 'Pharmaceuticals'.

4 Impairment loss on financial assets in standalone financial results include provision for impairment of long-term investments in its subsidiary "Unichem Farmaceutica Do Brazil Ltda" of ₹ Nil for the quarter ended 31st March 2020 (₹ Nil for the quarter ended 31st December 2019, ₹ Nil for the quarter ended 31st March 2019, ₹ Nil for year ended 31st March 2020, ₹ 302.83 lakhs for year ended 31st March 2019).

5 Short / excess provision for income tax (net) of earlier years is on account of final tax liability as per returns filed and assessments completed.

6 Deferred tax assets is recognised on tax loss (which includes weighted deduction in respect of R&D expenditure and excludes exempt income), unabsorbed tax depreciation and other temporary differences to the extent of deferred tax liability.

7 Profit in discontinued operations for the quarter ended 31st March, 2019 mainly includes reversal of provision for doubtful debts of ₹ 521.83 lakhs and other writebacks.

8 On 9th July, 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 & 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 12th December 2018 and confirmed the fine of Euro 13.96 million. The Company and its subsidiary based on legal advice and merits, have filed appeals against the decision of General Court before the Court of Justice of the EU and outcome of the appeals are 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 ₹ 11,614.72 lakhs) is disclosed under contingent liability. The statutory auditors have given Emphasis of Matter in their audit report on standalone and consolidated financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2020.

9 In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID 19 to be a pandemic. The Company has adopted measures to curb the spread of infection in order to protect the health of its employees and ensure business continuity with minimal disruption. The Company has considered internal and external information while finalizing various estimates and recoverability of assets in relation to its financial statement upto the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors. Considering that the Company is in the business of manufacturing and supplying pharmaceutical products which is categorized under essential goods, management believes that the impact of the pandemic may not be significant. The actual impact of the global health pandemic may be different from that which has been estimated, as the COVID 19 situation evolves in India and globally. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

10 Subsequent to year ended 31st March, 2020, the Company has invested Euro 10,60,000 (equivalent to ₹ 872.06 lakhs) in equity shares of its subsidiary "Unichem Laboratories Ltd., Ireland".

11 The Board recommends a final dividend of ₹ 4/- per share (200 %) (face value of ₹ 2/- per share) for the year ended 31st March, 2020. The payment is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company. The final dividend declared in the previous year and paid during the current year was ₹ 4/- per share (200%).

Notes :

  • 1 The above consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended 31st March, 2020 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 19th June, 2020. The statutory auditors have expressed an unqualified audit opinion on these consolidated financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2020.
  • 2 The above consolidated financial results have been prepared in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") and the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. Effective from 1st April, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116-Leases and this did not have any material impact on the financial results of the Company.
  • 3 Operating Segment : The Company has a single reportable segment i.e. 'Pharmaceuticals'.
  • 4 Short / excess provision for income tax (net) of earlier years is on account of final tax liability as per returns filed and assessments completed.
  • 5 Deferred tax assets is recognised on tax loss (which includes weighted deduction in respect of R&D expenditure and excludes exempt income), unabsorbed tax depreciation and other temporary differences to the extent of deferred tax liability.
  • 6 Profit in discontinued operations for the quarter ended 31st March, 2019 mainly includes reversal of provision for doubtful debts of ₹ 521.83 lakhs and other writebacks.
  • 7 On 9th July, 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 & 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 12th December 2018 and confirmed the fine of Euro 13.96 million. The Company and its subsidiary based on legal advice and merits, have filed appeals against the decision of General Court before the Court of Justice of the EU and outcome of the appeals are 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 ₹ 11,614.72 lakhs) is disclosed under contingent liability. The statutory auditors have given Emphasis of Matter in their audit report on standalone and consolidated financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2020.

  • 8 In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID 19 to be a pandemic. The Company (including subsidiaries) have adopted measures to curb the spread of infection in order to protect the health of its employees and ensure business continuity with minimal disruption. The Company has considered internal and external information while finalizing various estimates and recoverability of assets in relation to its financial statement upto the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors. Considering that the Company is in the business of manufacturing and supplying pharmaceutical products which is categorized under essential goods, management believes that the impact of the pandemic may not be significant. The actual impact of the global health pandemic may be different from that which has been estimated, as the COVID 19 situation evolves in India and globally. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.
  • 9 The Board recommends a final dividend of ₹ 4/- per share (200 %) (face value of ₹ 2/- per share) for the year ended 31st March, 2020. The payment is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company. The final dividend declared in the previous year and paid during the current year was ₹ 4/-per share (200%).

Auditor's Report on standalone financial results of Unichem Laboratories Limited pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

4. Management's responsibility for the Statement

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net loss and other comprehensive income of the Company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable Indian accounting standards(Ind As) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 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.

The results for the quarter ended 31st March, 2020 being the derived figures between the audited figures in respect of the current full financial year ended 31st March, 2020 and the published unaudited figures for the nine-months ended 31st December, 2019, which were subjected to a limited review.

5. Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement based on our audit of such annual standalone financial statements.

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

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

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Auditor's Report on standalone financial results of Unichem Laboratories Limited pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended)

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Statement of the Company to express an opinion on the Statement.

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

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.

Auditors Responsibility

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results 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 results.

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 results, 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 with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associate 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 results 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 and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial results. including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results/financial information of the entities within the Group and its associate to express an opinion on the consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated Financial Results, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors regarding. among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.
