Independent Auditors' Report

To, The Members of Agri-Tech (India) Limited Aurangabad

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

    1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Agri-Tech (India) Limited having CIN: L01110MH1993PLC073268 ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at $31st$ March 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
    1. 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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS") and the other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2021 and its loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of the Matter

Your attention is invited to note no 4(b) regarding mis-appropriation of 4,00,000 Equity Shares of Nath 3. Bio-genes (India) Limited (NBIL) pledged by the company to secure the borrowings. The company has adjusted borrowing by purchasing 1,25,000 shares of NBIL and the cost of unrecovered 2,75,000 shares are booked as loss which works out to Rs. 2.57.70.250.

Key Audit Matters

  1. 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 year. 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.

Effect of Covid-19

Key Audit Matters
It is the responsibility of the management to make
appropriate adjustments to the financial statements and
ensure necessary disclosures specifically the impact on
business due to Covid-19, subsequent risks and
uncertainties, and conditions that may impact future
operating results, cash flows and financial position of the
entity. We are informed by the management that
considering the present scale of operations, seasonal
product, demand in the ensuing future, the management
does not perceive any risk in ensuing operations,
liquidity and capital resources. We find sufficient and
appropriate evidences of such management perception
on record.
It is also concluded by the management that no
adjustments are required in the financial statements as it
does not impact the current financial year. Although the
situation of COVID-19 is still persisting, and the various
preventive measures taken (such as lockdown
restrictions by various State Government, travel
restrictions etc.) are still in force, it is expected that
these restrictions will be lifted soon. Due to these
circumstances, the management's assessment of the
impact on the subsequent period is dependent upon the
circumstances as they evolve; and consequently, we are
unable to express our opinion as to how the future
prospect of the company will be impacted.
Audit Procedures
The audit procedures included but
were not limited to:
Obtaining a
detailed
understanding of future business
climate and demand potential.
- Existing processes and controls of
the Management.
- Minutes of the Audit Committee/
Board and discussions with the
appropriate Management personnel.
$-$
Possible outcomes and the
reasonableness of the estimates.
Involvement of expert for
technical guidance and evaluation of
the assessments of the Management.
$\sim$
Evaluating appropriateness of
adequate disclosures in accordance
with the applicable accounting
standards.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

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

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements 6.

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 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 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 financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with Standard on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  • a. 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.
  • b. 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 and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • d. 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.

  • e. 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.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.
    1. 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, 2016 ("the Order"), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give in the "Annexure A" a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

  • (h) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor's Report in accordance with Rule 11 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us:

  1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Agri-Tech (India) Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

  1. The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (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 the Company's 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

    1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the 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. 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 over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
    1. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
    1. We believe that the audit evidence, we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the company.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

  1. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the Ind AS financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

  1. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

  1. In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2021, based on the internal control over financial reporting 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 issued by the ICAI.

Notes:
(1) The financial results were reveiwed by the Audit Committee and were thereafter approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held
on 05 Jun 2021. The statutory auditors of the company have carried out the audit of the financial results.
(2) M/s Argent Finvest Pvt Ltd. an NBFC company, agreed to lend INR 4.00 Cr against pledge of 4.00,000 equity shares of Nath Bio-Genes
(India) Ltd. Accordingly the company accorded its approval for creation of pledge on these equity shares and received short term loan of Rs.
3.60 Cr. However, instead of pledge creation, Argent Finvest Pvt Ltd. used its own Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) and fraudulently managed
to transfer 4,00,000 equity shares to its own account and subsequently sold these shares in the market without knowledge/consent of the
Company. The company has purchased 1,25,000 equity shares of Nath Bio-genes (India) Ltd from open market out of the loan so received.
Accordingly, this fraudulent transaction resulted in a loss of Rs. 2,57,70,250 to company for 2,75,000 shares. The company has lodged FIR
on 14.05.2021 with Economic Offence Wing, Aurangabad for misappropriation of equity shares. Presently, the matter is under investigation.

date figures up to the third quarter.
(4) The share in Profit/(Loss) of Paithan Mega Food Park Pvt. Ltd. (Associate Company) wherein the company is holding 49.20 % of shares
has been considered for the purpose of consolidation of financial results

Independent Auditors' Report

To. The Members of Agri-Tech (India) Limited Aurangabad

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

    1. We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Agri-Tech (India) Limited having CIN: L01110MH1993PLC073268 ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated 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 prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS") and the other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2021 and its loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income), the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of the Matter

Your attention is invited to note no 4(b) regarding mis-appropriation of 4,00,000 Equity Shares of Nath 3. Bio-genes (India) Limited (NBIL) pledged by the company to secure the borrowings. The company has adjusted borrowing by purchasing 1,25,000 shares of NBIL and the cost of unrecovered 2,75,000 shares are booked as loss which works out to Rs. 2,57,70,250.

Key Audit Matters

  1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated 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.

Effect of Covid-19

Key Audit Matters Audit Procedures
It is the responsibility of the management to make The audit procedures included but
appropriate adjustments to the financial statements and were not limited to:

ensure necessary disclosures specifically the impact on business due to Covid-19, subsequent risks and uncertainties, and conditions that may impact future operating results, cash flows and financial position of the entity. We are informed by the management that considering the present scale of operations, seasonal product, demand in the ensuing future, the management does not perceive any risk in ensuing operations, liquidity and capital resources. We find sufficient and appropriate evidences of such management perception on record.

It is also concluded by the management that no adjustments are required in the financial statements as it does not impact the current financial year. Although the situation of COVID-19 is still persisting, and the various preventive measures taken (such as lockdown restrictions by various State Government, travel restrictions etc.) are still in force, it is expected that these restrictions will be lifted soon. Due to these circumstances, the management's assessment of the impact on the subsequent period is dependent upon the circumstances as they evolve; and consequently, we are unable to express our opinion as to how the future prospect of the company will be impacted.

Obtaining detailed $\rm{a}$ understanding of future business climate and demand potential.

Existing processes and controls of the Management.

  • Minutes of the Audit Committee/ Board and discussions with the appropriate Management personnel. Possible outcomes and the reasonableness of the estimates.

Involvement of expert for technical guidance and evaluation of the assessments of the Management.

Evaluating appropriateness of adequate disclosures in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Information other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information 5 comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. 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 consolidated 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 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 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 financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

    1. In preparing the 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.
  2. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process. 8.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

  • Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 9. 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with Standard on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  • a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
  • b. 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 and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • d. 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 consolidated 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.
  • e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. 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.
    1. 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 consolidated 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

As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2016 ("the Order"), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give in the "Annexure A" a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.
