Independent Auditors' Report (Continued) UPL Limited

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note4 of the standalone financial results regarding the amalgamation of Advanta Limited into the Company accounted for in the financial year 2016-17 w ith effect from I April 2015. In accordance with the Scheme approved by the Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat ('the Scheme') the amalgamation had been accounted for as per Accounting Standard 14 - 'Accounting fer Amalgamations'. Accordingly, all assets and liabili1ies of Advanta Limited had been recorded at their respcc1ive existing book values. The difference betweco the book values of the net assets so recorded and the consideration (being fair value of equity shares and issue price of preference shares issued by the Company to the shareholders of Advanta Limited) aggregating Rs. 3,697 crores had been debited as goodwill. This goodwill is being amortized as per 11..'TTTIS of the Scheme and is also tested for impaim1ent every year. Such accounting lrcatmenl of this 1ransaction is different from that prescribed under Ind AS 103 • 'Business Combinations' which requires assets. liabilities and consider.uion to be measured at fair value and goodwill to be 1ested only for impairment. Had !he accounting treatment prescribed under Ind AS 103 been followed, profit after tax reported for the quarter and year ended 31• March 2021 would have been highcrby Rs. 92 crores and Rs. 370 crorcs rcspecti\le\y and goodwill and equity as at 31 March 2021 would have been higher by Rs. 2.212 crores respectively.

Our opinion is not modified in respecl of this matter.

O ur conclustOfls are based on the audit evidence obtairw.-d up to the date of our auditor·s report.
