INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF  SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, in which are incorporated the financial information of erstwhile Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited, now a division of the Company (hereinafter referred to as "erstwhile Ranbaxy" or "amalgamating company") for the year ended on that date, consequent to its amalgamation into the Company which has been effected on 24th March, 2015, with the appointed date of 1st April, 2014, audited by other auditors (division / component auditors), referred in the 'Other Matter' section below.

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "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 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.

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 there under.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act read together with our remarks in paragraph 2 of the 'Emphasis of Matter' section below. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. 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.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors (division / component auditors) of the amalgamating company in terms of their report referred in the 'Other Matter' section below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of the report of the other auditors (division / component auditors) on the financial information of the amalgamating company referred in the 'Other Matter' section below, and read together with paragraphs 1 and 2 of the 'Emphasis of Matter' section below, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2015, and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter

1. We draw attention to Note 51 to the standalone financial statements. As referred to in the said Note, the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2015 were earlier approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 29th May, 2015 which were subject to revision by the Management of the Company so as to give effect to the Scheme of Arrangement for amalgamation of Sun Pharma Global Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, into the Company w.e.f 1st January, 2015. Those financial statements were audited by us and our report dated 29th May, 2015, addressed to the Members of the Company, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an Emphasis of Matter paragraph drawing attention to the foregoing matter. Consequent to the Company obtaining the required approvals, the aforesaid financial statements are revised by the Company to give effect to the said Scheme of Arrangement.

2. Apart from the foregoing matter and the provision for proposed dividend, the attached financial statements do not take into account any events subsequent to the date on which the financial statements referred to in paragraph 1 above were earlier approved by the Board of Directors and reported upon by us as aforesaid.

3. a) We draw attention to Note 55 to the standalone financial statements. As referred to in the said Note, remuneration to the  Managing Director and the Whole–time Directors for the previous year ended 31st March, 2014 is in excess of the limits specified under Schedule XIII to the Companies Act, 1956 by Rs. 44.7 Million and commission of Rs.  6.4 Million for the previous year ended 31st March, 2014 to the Non–Executive Directors is in excess, since there is absence of net profits for the previous year under section 309(4) read with section 309(5) of the Companies Act, 1956. In this regard, the Company has made necessary applications to the Central Government for the waiver of the excess remuneration and commission for the previous year ended 31st March, 2014. The Company is awaiting Central Government approval in respect of the said applications.

b) We draw attention to Note 55 to the standalone financial statements. As referred to in the said Note, remuneration to the Managing Director and the Whole–time Director for the year is in excess of the limits specified under Schedule V to the Companies Act, 2013 by Rs.  20.7 Million. In this regard, the Company has made necessary applications to the Central Government for approving the amounts of maximum remuneration payable, which includes the excess amounts already paid / provided. The Company is awaiting Central Government approval in respect of the said applications.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
