  • 3 Operating Segment : The Company has a single reportable segment i.e. 'Pharmaceuticals'.
  • 4 Deferred tax assets is recognised on tax loss (which includes weighted deduction in respect of R&D expenditure upto 31st March, 2020 and excludes exempt income), unabsorbed tax depreciation and other temporary differences to the extent of deferred tax liability.

  • 5 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.

This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

  1. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement of unaudited financial results, prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards i.e. 'Ind AS' prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
