1. We have audited the accompanying standalone
financial statements of Gem Aromatics Limited
(formerly known as Gem Aromatics Private Limited)
(“the Company”), which comprise the standalone
balance sheet as at March 31, 2026, and the
standalone statement of profit and loss (including
other comprehensive income), standalone statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, standalone
statement of changes in equity, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of material
accounting policies and other explanatory information
(hereinafter referred to as “the standalone financial
statements”).

I n 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 Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind
AS”) prescribed 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 March 31, 2026, and its profit, total

comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

2. We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of
the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards
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 ICAI's 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.

Key Audit Matter

3. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.

Other Information

4. The Company's management and board of directors
are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the
Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report
and Management Discussion and Analysis report, but
does not include the standalone and consolidated
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
The 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 as required under SA 720
“The Auditors Responsibilities Relating to Other
Information”.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of

Directors for the Standalone Financial Statements

5. 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/
loss and other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India, including Ind AS specified under Section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This
responsibility also includes maintenance of 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 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,
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 board of directors either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company's 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

6. 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 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 system 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 and board of directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management
and board of director's use of the going concern
basis of accounting in preparation of standalone
financial statements 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
standalone financial statements that, individually or
in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the
standalone financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work
and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in
the standalone financial statements.

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 to
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.
