We have audited the standalone financial statements
of MedPlus Health Services Limited (the "Company"), its
Medplus Employees Benefit Trust ("Trust") which comprise
the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the
standalone statement of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in
equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including 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 ("Act") in the manner so required and
give a true and fair view in conformity with the 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.
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 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 are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period. We have
determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate
in our report.
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the annual report but
does not include the financial statements and 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
and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.
Management''s and Board of Directors''/Trustee''s
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/ 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
the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under
Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and
Board of Directors of the companies/Trustee of the Trust are
responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding
of the assets of the Company/Trust 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 respective
Management and Board of Directors/Trustee are responsible
for assessing the ability of the Company/Trust to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the respective Board of Directors/Trustee either intends
to liquidate the Company/Trust or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors/Trustee are responsible for
overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company/
Trust.
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 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 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 and Board of
Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and Board of Directors 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.
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.

Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the standalone financial statements as

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 a udit in accorda nce 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

for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a

is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of

⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the

Act, 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 the Management and Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the
Management and Board of Directors 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.
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

related safeguards.

that were of most significance in the audit of the

and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or

We have audited the standalone financial statements of MedPlus Health Services Limited (the "Company"), its employee benefit trust which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including 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 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2024, 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 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. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate 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 Company''s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and 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 necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Management''s and Board of Directors''/Trustee''s 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/ 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 the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the Company/ Trustee of the Trust are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of Company/Trust 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 respective Management and Board of Directors/ Trustee are responsible for assessing the ability of Company/Trust to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors/ Trustee either intends to liquidate the Company/Trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors/Trustee are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Company/Trust.
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 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 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 and Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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.
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.

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.

that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

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 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 and Board of Directors.

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.
