cash flows for the period ended on that date.
During the year, the Company has incurred research and development expenditure aggregating ?1,304.85 lakhs. The accounting

We conducted our audit of the financial statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of
the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
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 (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
with respect to the preparation and presentation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules,
2014.
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directors are also
responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be
included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the Auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control
relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
