Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

OPINION

We have audited the accompanying standalone
financial statements of BlueStone Jewellery
Lifestyle Limited
("the Company"), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, and the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash
Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then 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 prescribed under section 133
of the Act read with 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 March 31, 2026, and its profit (including other
comprehensive income), its cash flows and changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

BASIS FOR OPINION

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 SAs are
further described in the "Auditors 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 made thereunder, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the ICAIs
Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence
obtained by us 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 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.

Sr. Key Audit Matters
No

How the Key Audit Matters was addressed in our
audit

1 Revenue Recognition - refer note 2.2.7 and
25 of the standalone financial statement

Our audit procedures in respect of this area included
among others the following:

The revenue of the Company consists
primarily of sale of jewellery products from
multiple operating models, including
owned retail outlets, online sales, and
franchisee business. Revenue recognition
under these models involves varying terms
and conditions relating to pricing, discounts,
returns, incentives, loyalty programmes, and
timing of transfer of control.

- Evaluated the design and implementation of
financial controls and tested their operating
effectiveness with respect to revenue recognition
process. This evaluation includes test of IT general
controls and key application controls over the IT
system which impact revenue recognition.

- Tested the accuracy of retail revenue recorded
during the year by examining that the sale of
goods transactions are in agreement with the
cash/credit card/online receipts and deposit of
cash amounts recorded in daily cash reports with
bank remittances, on sample basis.

 

Sr. Key Audit Matters
No

How the Key Audit Matters was addressed in our
audit

The Company processes a high volume of
transactions on a daily basis across multiple
systems and locations, primarily with retail
customers, which increases the risk of
errors in recording revenue due to system
configuration issues, manual interventions,
or data integrity challenges. Further, the
assessment of appropriate timing of revenue
recognition and completeness of revenue
recorded involves significant reliance on IT
systems and controls.

- Performed substantive testing for samples of
revenue transactions by inspecting relevant
underlying documents including sale invoices.

- Performed cash counts, on a test check basis, at
selected stores and examined whether the cash
balances are in agreement with the cash receipts
reported in the daily collection report.

- Tested credit notes issued to retail customers and
franchisee partners on sample basis pertaining to
sales returns during the year and subsequent to
the year end.

Given the quantitative significance of
revenue to the standalone financial
statements, the complexity arising from
multiple business models, and the inherent
risk of material misstatement due to error or
fraud, revenue recognition was considered a
key audit matter.

- Tested sales transactions on a test check basis on
sales made immediately pre and post year-end,
agreed the period of revenue recognition to the
underlying documents.

- Assessed the appropriateness of the accounting
policy for revenue recognition as per relevant
accounting standard.

- Ensured the adequacy and appropriateness of
disclosures in the standalone financial statements
in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS
115.

2. Existence of inventory - refer note 2.2.5
and 11 of the standalone financial
statements

Our audit procedures in respect of this area included
among others the following:

The Companys inventory comprises
precious metals, gemstones, and jewellery
items crafted from gold, diamonds, and
other gemstones, held across multiple

- Evaluated the design and operating effectiveness
of internal controls relating to inventory existence,
including controls over physical verification, stock
movement approvals, periodic reconciliations,
and management oversight.

locations including manufacturing units
and retail outlets. Such inventory is
high-value, portable in nature, and consists
of a large variety of individual items with
varying purity, weight, quality, and design
characteristics.

- Attended physical inventory counts at
selected locations, including retail outlets
and manufacturing facilities, and observing
managements counting procedures.

The existence of inventory is subject
to inherent risk due to factors such as
susceptibility to theft, loss, damage, and
human error in handling or recording,
particularly given the decentralised storage
and frequent movement of goods between
locations. In addition, the verification of
inventory existence requires reliance on
physical counts, specialised identification
procedures, and robust internal controls,
including segregation of duties and secure
custody arrangements.

- Performed independent test counts, including
verification of item descriptions, gross weight, net
weight, purity, and unique identification numbers,
and reconciling physical quantities to inventory
records.

- Obtained independent confirmations for
inventory held with job workers as of the year end.

- Performed cut-off testing around the reporting
date to assess whether inventory movements
were recorded in the appropriate accounting
period.

Sr. Key Audit Matters
No

How the Key Audit Matters was addressed in our
audit

Given the materiality of inventory balances
to the standalone financial statements, the
judgement involved in verifying physical
existence, and the audit effort required
due to the nature of inventory, existence of
inventory was considered a key audit matter.

- Obtain the records of physical verification and
inventory reconciliation performed by the
management as at the year end.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND AUDITORS REPORT THEREON

The Companys Management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in
the Directors report and Management Discussion
and Analysis Report, but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditors
report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date
of this auditors 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 and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the standalone
financial statements or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our 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 BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Companys Management and Board ofDirectors
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, cash flows and changes in equity of
the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including
the Ind AS 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

Companys 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 Companys Management and the Board of
Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Companys financial reporting process.

AUDITORS 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 auditors 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.

We give in "Annexure A" a detailed description of
Auditors responsibilities for Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements.

in respect of an accounting
software to log any direct

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 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 and Board of Directors.

- Conclude on the appropriateness of
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 Companys ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditors 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 auditors 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
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 current period and are
therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors 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.

of BlueStone Jewellery and Lifestyle Limited ("the
Company") as of March 31, 2026 in conjunction with

controls with reference to standalone financial
statements criteria established by the Company
considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of
Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
(the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

MANAGEMENTS AND BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY FOR
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Companys Management and the Board of
Directors are responsible for establishing and
maintaining internal financial controls based
on the internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements criteria
established by the Company considering the
essential components of internal control stated
in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. These
responsibilities include the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial
controls that were operating effectively for ensuring
the orderly and efficient conduct of its business,
including adherence to Companys policies, the
safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, and the

timely preparation of reliable financial information,
as required under the Act.

AUDITORS RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Companys internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Guidance Note issued by ICAI and the
Standards on Auditing prescribed under section
143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an
audit of internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements. Those Standards
and the Guidance Note require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether adequate internal financial controls with
reference to standalone financial statements was
established and maintained and if such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain
audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial
controls with reference to standalone financial
statements included obtaining an understanding
of internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion on the Companys internal
financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements.

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL
CONTROLS WITH REFERENCE TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A companys internal financial control with reference
to financial statements is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A companys internal financial control
with reference to financial statements includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention

or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of the companys assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS
WITH REFERENCE TO STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Because of the inherent limitations of internal
financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements, including the possibility
of collusion or improper management override
of controls, material misstatements due to error
or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls with reference to standalone financial
statements to future periods are subject to the risk
that the internal financial control with reference
to standalone financial statements may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
