We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Gaudium IVF and Women Health Limited
(Formerly known as Gaudium IVF and Women Health Private
Limited) ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Statement
of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the
year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including a summary of material accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
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 prescribed under Section 133 of
the Act (Ind AS) and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at March 31, 2026, and its profits and other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
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 ("the 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 matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,

Information Other than the Financial Statements
and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is 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 do 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 during our audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Company''s 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 necessary actions, as applicable under
the relevant laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Those
Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is 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 financial position, financial
performance, total 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 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, 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 the Management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and 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 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 (i) in 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 financial controls 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.
