We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements
of Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem Limited ("the Company") which
comprises the balance sheet as at 31 March 2025 and the
statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive
income), the statement of changes in equity and the statement of
cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the standalone
financial statements, including summary of material accounting
policies and other explanatory information. (hereinafter referred
as "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
prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind
AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025 and
total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other
comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity
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 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 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.

Key Audit Matters

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. We have
determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report:

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 Board''s Report including Annexures to
Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Report on
Corporate Governance, Business Responsibility and Sustainability
Report, but does not include the standalone 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 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 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 report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged
with Governance 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 standalone
financial position, standalone financial performance including
other comprehensive income, standalone changes in equity and
standalone 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 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
of the appropriate accounting software for ensuring compliance
with applicable laws and regulations including those related to
retention of audit logs; selection and application of appropriate
implementation and maintenance of 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
statement 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 is
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
management 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 are also responsible for
overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of 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 controls relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate

in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to 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 ability of the Company 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 financial
statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable
user of the 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 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020
("the Order"), issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in
the "Annexure - A" a statement on the matters specified in

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

Cut off risk in Revenue Recognition Due to the sales being under various contractual terms and across geographies, delivery to customers in different regions might take different time periods and may result in undelivered goods at the period end.

Accordingly, cut-off risk in revenue recognition is a key audit matter.	• We have assessed the revenue recognition policies of the Company including accounting for sales returns and discounts for compliance with Ind AS. • The Company has manual and automated (information technology - IT) controls on recording revenue and accruals for sales returns and discounts.

Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of 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.

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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 ability of the Company 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 financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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.

Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem Limited

Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem Limited ("the Company") which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 March 2023 and the statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the standalone financial statements, including summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. (hereinafter referred as "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 prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2023 and total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 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 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.

Key Audit Matters

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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:

1.	Cut off risk in Revenue Recognition Due to the sales being under various contractual terms and across geographies, delivery to customers in different regions might take different time periods and may result in undelivered goods at the period end.

In respect of cut-off, we focused on controls around the timely and accurate recording of year-end sales transactions.
	Accordingly, cut-off risk in revenue recognition is a key audit matter.	• We have performed substantive testing on sample check basis on revenue transactions recorded during the year end.

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 Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Report on Corporate Governance, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

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 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. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance 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 financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity 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 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 statement 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 is 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 management 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 Responsibility for the Audit of 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 ability of the Company 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 financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 ("the Order"), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in the "Annexure - A" a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TATVA CHINTAN PHARMA CHEM LIMITED

(Formerly known as Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem Private Limited)

Auditor''s Report on the audited Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem Limited (formerly known as "Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem Private Limited") ("the Company") which comprises the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, 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 summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. (hereinafter referred as "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 prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2021, total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 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 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.

Key audit matters

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.

Reporting of key audit matters as per SA 701, Key Audit Matters are not applicable to the Company as it is an unlisted Public Company.

Emphasis of matter

We draw your attention to Note 46 to the standalone financial statements, which explains the uncertainties and the Management''s assessment of the financial impact due to the lock-downs and other restrictions and conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, for which a definitive assessment of the impact in the subsequent period is highly dependent upon circumstances as they evolve. Further, our attendance at the physical inventory verification as at year end done by the Management was impracticable under the then prevailing lock-down restrictions imposed by the Government and we have therefore, relied on the related alternative audit procedures to obtain comfort over the existence and condition of inventory at year end.

Other information

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board''s Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

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 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. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibility of management 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 including other comprehensive income, changes in equity 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 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s responsibility for the audit of 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 ability of the Company 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 financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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 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.
