Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of annual financial results of Lactose (India) Limited (the
"Company") for the year ended March 31, 2025 ("Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the
Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
financial results:
(i) are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this
regard; and
(ii) give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in
the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013 (“the Act”), as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit
and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the year ended
March 31, 2025.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10)
of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Results 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, 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
obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Financial Results
The Statement have been prepared on the basis of the annual financial statements. The Company’s
Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of these financial results that give
a true and fair view of the net profit and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles laid down in IND AS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, as amended issued
thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation
33 of the Listing Regulations. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for maintenance of
----------------Page (1) Break----------------
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 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, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the
Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability
of the Company 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 of the Company are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of
the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement 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 Statement.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism 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.
• 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 standalone 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 Statement or, if such disclosures are
----------------Page (2) Break----------------
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 represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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.
