We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Studds Accessories Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March
2026, the standalone statement of profit and loss (including
other comprehensive income), the standalone statement of
changes in equity and the standalone statement of cash flows
for the year ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material accounting policies and other
explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the
standalone financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and
give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting

Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as
amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March
2026, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes
in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing ("SAs") specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in
the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the standalone 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Other Information

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company's annual
report, but does not include the standalone financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon. The Company's annual report
is expected to be made available to us after the date of this
auditor's report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not
cover the other information and we will not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and take appropriate action, as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.

Management's and Board of Directors'
Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial
Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs,
profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act.
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.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Management and Board of Directors are 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 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 is also responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone 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 standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the standalone financial statements, 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 financial controls
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 management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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 standalone
financial statements or, if such disclosures are 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 standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance
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 communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter
or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
