  1. Summary of Share Entitlement Report and Fairness Opinion:

A. Share Entitlement Report dated August 07, 2025 issued by Axiology Valuetech Private Limited – Registered Valuer and Fairness Opinion dated August 07, 2025 issued by SEBI Registered Category-I, Merchant Banker namely Corporate Professionals Capital Private Limited. Share Exchange Ratio is as under –

“1 (One) Equity Share of K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited of face value of INR 10/- each fully paid up for every 5 (Five) equity shares of K M Sugar of face value of INR 2/- each fully paid up.”

B. Basis of Valuation and Fairness Opinion:

Under the Proposed Scheme, the Demerged Undertaking of the Demerged Company will be transferred to the Resulting Company. At present, the Demerged Company holds 100% of the equity share capital of the Resulting Company.

Upon implementation of the Scheme, all equity shares of the Resulting Company held by the Demerged Company shall stand cancelled. The Resulting Company will then issue/allot its equity shares to the shareholders of the Demerged Company, in the same proportion as their existing shareholding in the Demerged Company, based on the share entitlement ratio provided in Part III of the Scheme. Consequently, the shareholding of the shareholders in the Resulting Company will mirror their shareholding in the Demerged Company. Hence, as per SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93 dated 20 June 2023, a valuation report is not required to be issued in the present case. Accordingly, no valuation of the Demerged Undertaking, Demerged Company or Resulting Company has been undertaken and the valuation frameworks prescribed under the BSE and NSE circulars are not applicable.

Thus, considering that the entire equity share capital of the Resulting Company is presently held by the Demerged Company and that, upon implementation of the Scheme, such shareholding shall stand cancelled and the Resulting Company shall issue equity shares directly to the shareholders of the Demerged Company in the same proportion as their existing shareholding therein, the post-Scheme shareholding of the Resulting Company shall exactly mirror the shareholding of the Demerged Company. In view thereof, the Share Entitlement Ratio provided under the Scheme, being 1 (One) Equity Share of the Resulting Company of face value of INR 10/- each fully paid up for every 5 (Five) equity shares of Demerged Company of face value of INR 2/- each fully paid up, is fair, reasonable and appropriate.

Further, refer the Share Entitlement Report and Fairness Opinion annexed with this Notice, for the complete details including the basis of valuation, methodologies adopted, share exchange ratio etc.

  1. There is no Capital/ Debt Restructuring in the Scheme.

  2. Effect of the Scheme on Stakeholders

The effect of the Scheme on various stakeholders is summarized below:

A. Shareholders, promoter and non-promoter shareholders

The Company only has equity shareholders and does not have any preference shareholders.

Pursuant to the Scheme there shall be no change in the Equity Share Capital of the Company.

Upon the Scheme becoming effective and in consideration of the demerger, transfer and vesting of the Distillery Division (as defined under the Scheme) the Resulting Company shall issue and allot its equity shares to shareholders of the Company in the following ratio:

“1 (One) equity share of face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten) each at par in the ‘Resulting Company’ for every 5 (Five) Equity Shares of face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two) each held by them in the Demerged Company (“Share Entitlement Ratio”).”

The Scheme is expected to have several benefits for the Company, as indicated in the rationale of the Scheme set out therein and is expected to be in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company.

B. Directors and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP)

The KMP and Directors of the Company will continue to hold their respective positions following the effectiveness of the Scheme.

Further, those KMP and Directors who are also shareholders will retain their shareholding in the Company and will be issued equity shares in the Resulting Company in accordance with the Share Entitlement Ratio specified in the Scheme.

C. Employees

All statutory and other employee benefit funds, including provident fund, gratuity, pension and ESI, relating to such employees shall be transferred to, continued by or maintained by the Resulting Company in accordance with applicable law.

D. Creditors

The Scheme will have no prejudicial effect on the Creditors of the Scheme. No compromise is proposed to any creditors of the Company under the Scheme. Upon the effectiveness of the Scheme, the liabilities pertaining to the Demerged Undertaking shall be transferred to and discharged by the Resulting Company and there is no reduction or extinguishment of such liabilities. The Resulting Company shall honour these obligations in the ordinary course of its business. Further, the Demerged Company will continue to discharge its obligations with respect to the remaining undertaking without any interruption.

E. Debenture holders, and Debenture Trustees Depositors and Deposit Trustees

The Company has neither accepted any deposits nor issued any debentures. Accordingly, there are no related implications under the Scheme.

27

  1. Effect of compromise or arrangement on material interests of Directors, Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) and Debenture Trustee.

The Scheme does not have any effect on the material interests of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Debenture Trustee.

None of the Directors, KMPs (as defined under the Act and rules framed thereunder) of the Demerged Company and Resulting Company along with their respective relatives (as defined under the Act and rules framed thereunder) have any material interest in the Scheme except to the extent of their respective shareholding in the Demerged Company and Resulting Company, if any.

Further, the Company has not issued any debentures. Accordingly, there are no related implications under the Scheme.

  1. The Rationale and Benefit of the Scheme:

The Demerged Company is engaged in a diversified range of businesses, broadly categorized into two business divisions - (1) manufacturing and selling of sugar and other business including the running of a bagasse-based cogeneration Power plant ('Sugar Manufacturing Division') and (2) Distillery business manufacturing, selling and distribution of Rectified Spirit, Ethanol, Country Liquor and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA).

  1. Both the above businesses have their own distinct business dynamics, regulatory environment, customer base and their needs. There is a clear distinction in the growth prospects and risk profile of the two business divisions.

  2. Over the years, the Distillery Division has matured into a robust and independent business with substantial growth potential. Given the dynamic growth, the Distillery Division is now well-positioned to pursue its own strategic and operational priorities as a separate entity.

  3. The nature of risk, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods for the Distillery Division is separate and distinct from the Remaining Business (as defined hereinafter) carried out by the Demerged Company. Further, the way the Distillery Division is required to be handled and managed is not similar to that of the Remaining Business.

  4. In order to provide enhanced focus to the operations of the Demerged Undertaking, the Companies have proposed to segregate and organise the Distillery Division as a separate entity. Therefore, the Scheme is being proposed to demerge the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company, which is expected to yield the following benefits:

i. In light of the distinct operational characteristics of the Distillery Division, including seasonality, regulatory oversight, policies and subsidy framework, the establishment of an independent entity focusing exclusively on the Distillery Division will enable exploration of sector-specific opportunities, a sharper focus and enhance operational efficiency.

ii. Segregating the Distillery Division will provide greater strategic flexibility to tailor approaches specific to its unique operational and market dynamics, enabling it to realize its full potential while effectively de-risking the businesses from one another.

28

iii. Unlocking shareholders' value by enabling independent, market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through the listing of the equity shares of the Resulting Company on the Stock Exchanges on which shares of the Demerged Company are listed, pursuant to the Scheme, thereby offering shareholders the option and flexibility to continue their investment in a Distillery business-focused listed entity.

iv. The separation of businesses with distinct risk and return profiles will enable each independent entity to attract different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders, thereby enhancing focused capital raising, future expansion and new growth opportunities.

v. The Resulting Company will be better positioned to align its resources, talent, marketing strategies, and innovation initiatives around a singular sector, which will, in turn, strengthen its competitive advantage and enable the creation of a more agile and efficient management structure.

vi. The Demerger will provide greater transparency in the performance of each entity, enabling a clearer focus on their respective growth trajectories. This will allow both entities to build their strong brand presence. Thus, this enhanced visibility will contribute to long-term stability and further strengthen the companies' future portfolios.

vii. The demerger will help each of the entities to channelize resources required for all the businesses to focus on the growing businesses and attract the right talent, and provide enhanced growth opportunities to existing talent in line with a sharper strategic focus on each business segment under separate entities.

(viii) Details of potential benefits and risks associated with the Demerger.

The proposed demerger is expected to facilitate focused management attention and operational efficiency by segregating the Distillery Division into a dedicated entity, enabling each business to pursue its distinct strategic priorities in line with its specific industry dynamics. It is likely to enhance transparency and allow stakeholders to better assess the performance and value of each business independently, thereby supporting informed decision-making. The independent listing of the Resulting Company may unlock shareholder value and provide flexibility to investors to participate in a dedicated distillery business.

The Demerger entails standard transition-related activities such as operational alignment and regulatory processes, which are inherent to such restructuring exercises.

(b) The Distillery Undertaking (as defined in the scheme), along with all its assets, liabilities and operations, will be transferred from the Demerged Company to the Resulting Company on a going-concern basis. Post Demerger, both companies will operate independently with separate financials and focused business activities, leading to better management efficiency, improved transparency and more effective utilization of resources.

(c) After the Demerger, K M Sugar Mills Limited will focus on its core sugar business, improving operational efficiency, while K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited will focus on the distillery segment and capitalize on growing opportunities in Rectified Spirit, Ethanol, Country Liquor and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) and related products. This focused approach is expected to enhance growth potential, attract investors and create long-term value for all stakeholders.

C. RATIONALE FOR THE SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

The Demerged Company is engaged in a diversified range of businesses, broadly categorized into two business divisions - (1) manufacturing and selling of sugar and other business including the running of a bagasse-based cogeneration Power plant ('Sugar Manufacturing Division') and (2) Distillery business manufacturing, selling and distribution of Rectified Spirit, Ethanol, Country Liquor and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA).

  1. Both the above businesses have their own distinct business dynamics, regulatory environment, customer base and their needs. There is a clear distinction in the growth prospects and risk profile of the two business divisions.

  2. Over the years, the Distillery Division has matured into a robust and independent business with substantial growth potential. Given the dynamic growth, the Distillery Division is now well-positioned to pursue its own strategic and operational priorities as a separate entity.

  3. The nature of risk, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods for the Distillery Division is separate and distinct from the Remaining Business (as defined hereinafter) carried out by the Demerged Company. Further, the way the Distillery Division is required to be handled and managed is not similar to that of the Remaining Business.

  4. In order to provide enhanced focus to the operations of the Demerged Undertaking, the Companies have proposed to segregate and organise the Distillery Division as a separate entity. Therefore, the Scheme is being proposed to demerge the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company, which is expected to yield the following benefits:

i. In light of the distinct operational characteristics of the Distillery Division, including seasonality, regulatory oversight, policies and subsidy framework, the establishment of

4
39

an independent entity focusing exclusively on the Distillery Division will enable exploration of sector-specific opportunities, a sharper focus and enhance operational efficiency.

ii. Segregating the Distillery Division will provide greater strategic flexibility to tailor approaches specific to its unique operational and market dynamics, enabling it to realize its full potential while effectively de-risking the businesses from one another.

iii. Unlocking shareholders’ value by enabling independent, market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through the listing of the equity shares of the Resulting Company on the Stock Exchanges on which shares of the Demerged Company are listed, pursuant to the Scheme, thereby offering shareholders the option and flexibility to continue their investment in a Distillery business-focused listed entity.

iv. The separation of businesses with distinct risk and return profiles will enable each independent entity to attract different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders, thereby enhancing focused capital raising, future expansion and new growth opportunities.

v. The Resulting Company will be better positioned to align its resources, talent, marketing strategies, and innovation initiatives around a singular sector, which will, in turn, strengthen its competitive advantage and enable the creation of a more agile and efficient management structure.

vi. The Demerger will provide greater transparency in the performance of each entity, enabling a clearer focus on their respective growth trajectories. This will allow both entities to build their strong brand presence. Thus, this enhanced visibility will contribute to long-term stability and further strengthen the companies’ future portfolios.

vii. The demerger will help each of the entities to channelize resources required for all the businesses to focus on the growing businesses and attract the right talent, and provide enhanced growth opportunities to existing talent in line with a sharper strategic focus on each business segment under separate entities.

  1. Identity of the valuer and any other experts involved in the valuation:

  1. Disclosure of valuer interest/conflict, if any:

We do not have any financial interest in the Client, nor do we have any conflict of interest in carrying out this analysis to recommend fair share entitlement ratio.

Further, the information provided by the Management have been appropriately reviewed in carrying out the valuation. Sufficient time and information were provided to us to carry out the analysis.

  1. Date of appointment and date of report:
Date of appointment 25th March 2025
Date of report 07th August 2025
  1. Sources of Information

In connection with this exercise, we have received/obtained the following information from the Management:

  • Audited financial statements for the year ended 31-03-2025 of Demerged Company and Resulting Company.
  • Limited reviewed financial statements for the period ended 30-06-2025 of Resulting Company.
  • Management Certified financial statements for the year ended 30-06-2025 of Demerged Company and Demerged Undertaking.
  • Draft Scheme of Arrangement for demerger of the Distillery Division of KMSM into KMSAIL.
  • We have obtained information from public sources/proprietary databases.

During discussions with the Management of the Companies, we have also obtained explanations, information and representations, which we believed were reasonably necessary and relevant for our exercise.

8. Procedures Adopted

In connection with this exercise, we have adopted the following procedures to carry out the valuation:

  • Requested and received financial and qualitative information.
  • Used data available in public domain related to the companies involved in the transaction.
  • Discussed (physical/over call) with the Management of the Companies regarding the proposed Demerger, transaction structure and other relevant details.
  • Analyze appropriate valuation methodology/ (ies) and valuation of the companies as considered appropriate by us, to the extent required.
  • Analyzed the shareholding pattern of the Companies.
  • Arrived at recommendation of the fair equity share entitlement ratio for the Proposed Demerger.

The consideration for such proposed Demerger will be discharged by issuance of equity shares by KM Spirits and Allied Industries Limited to the equity shareholders of the KM Sugars Mills Limited.

The Resulting Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Demerged Company. Upon effectiveness of the draft Scheme, the entire equity shares of Resulting Company held by the Demerged Company will be cancelled.

Basis for Recommendation of Ratios

We understand that as part of the Proposed Scheme, Demerged Undertaking of Demerged Company is proposed to be merged into Resulting Company. It can be seen that Demerged Company holds 100% equity shares of Resulting Company. Once the Proposed Scheme is implemented, all the shareholders of Demerged Company would also become shareholders of Resulting Company, and their shareholding in Resulting Company would mirror their shareholding

7 | Page

in Demerged Company. The effect of the Proposed Demerger is that each shareholder of Demerged Company becomes the owner of shares in two companies instead of one. The percentage holding of a shareholder in Demerged Company (post Demerger) and in Resulting Company would remain unchanged from the proportion of capital held by such shareholder in Demerged Company. This will also result in no fractional entitlement for the shareholders.

Hence, Share Entitlement Ratio would not have any impact on the ultimate value of the shareholders of Demerged Company and the Proposed Demerger will be value-neutral to the shareholders of Demerged Company. Further, as stated in SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93 dated 20 June 2023, valuation is not required in cases where there is no change in shareholding pattern in the resultant company. Therefore, we have not carried out the valuation of Resulting Company, Demerged Undertaking or Demerged Company. Accordingly, the valuation under the valuation approached mentioned in the format prescribed under BSE Circular No. LIST/COMP/02/2017-18 dated 29 May 2017 and NSE Circular No. NSE/CML/2017/12 dated 01 June 2017 are not applicable in the given case.

Share Entitlement Ratio: Proposed Demerger

Valuation Approach Demerged Undertaking of Demerged Company Resulting Company
Value per Share of Demerged Company attributable to the Demerged Undertaking (INR) Weight Value per Share of Resulting Company (INR) Weight
Asset Approach N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A.
Income Approach N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A.
Market Approach N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A.
Value per Share N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A.
Entitlement Ratio for Proposed Demerger N.A.

8 | Page
94

Based on the above, any share entitlement ratio can be considered appropriate and fair for the Proposed Demerger as the proportionate equity shareholding of any shareholder before and after the Proposed Demerger would remain the same.

Keeping the same in view, a share entitlement ratio of 1 (One) equity share of Resulting Company for 5 (Five) equity share of Demerged Company would be appropriate.

Conclusion

In light of the above and in consideration of all relevant factors and circumstances, we recommend the following Ratios:

Share Entitlement Ratio for Proposed Demerger:

One equity share of face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten) each at par in the ‘Resulting Company for every Five Equity Shares of face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two) each held by them in the Demerged Company (“Share Entitlement Ratio”).

RATIONALE OF THE SCHEME

Furthermore, the Scheme of Arrangement of demerger of the Demerged Undertakings from the Demerged Company to the Resulting Companies would result in the following benefits:

Segregation and unbundling of the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Companies will offer the following benefits:

  • In light of the distinct operational characteristics of the Distillery Division, including seasonality, regulatory oversight, policies and subsidy framework, establishment of an independent entity focusing exclusively on the Distillery Division will enable exploration of sector specific opportunities, sharper focus and enhance operational efficiency.
  • Segregating the Distillery Division will provide greater strategic flexibility to tailor approaches specific to its unique operational and market dynamics, enabling it to realize its full potential while effectively de-risking the businesses from one another.
  • Unlocking shareholders' value by enabling independent, market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through the listing of the Resulting Company pursuant to the Scheme, thereby offering shareholders the option and flexibility to continue their investment in a Distillery business focused listed entity.
  • The separation of business with distinct risk and return profiles, will enable each independent entity to attract different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders, thereby enhancing focused capital raising, future expansion and new growth opportunities.
  • The Resulting Company will be better positioned to align its resources, talent, marketing strategies, and innovation initiatives around a singular sector, which will in turn strengthen its competitive advantage and enable the creation of a more agile and efficient management structure.
  • The Demerger will provide greater transparency in the performance of each entity, enabling a clearer focus on their respective growth trajectories. This will allow both the entities to build their strong brand presence. Thus, this enhanced visibility will contribute to long-term stability and further strengthen the companies' future portfolios.
  • The demerger will help each of the entity to channelize resources required for all the businesses to focus on the growing businesses and attracting right talent and providing enhanced growth opportunities to existing talent in line with a sharper strategic focus on each business segment under separate entities.

SOURCE OF THE INFORMATION

In connection with this exercise, we have used the following information shared with us during the course of the engagement:

  • Draft Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme") for the Proposed Transaction.
  • Audited financial statements for the year ended 31-03-2025 of Demerged Company and Resulting Company.
  • Limited reviewed financial statements for the period ended 30-06-2025 of Resulting Company.
  • Management Certified financial statements for the year ended 30-06-2025 of Demerged Undertaking.

  • Discussion with the Managements of the Companies in connection with the operations of the respective Companies, past and present activities, future plans and prospects of the Companies as of the report date, and any such information which is known and available as at the report date.
  • For our analysis, we have relied on published and secondary sources of data, whether made available by the Companies. We have not independently verified the accuracy or timeliness of the same, and
  • Other relevant information and documents for the purpose of this engagement, provided through emails or during discussions.
  • We have also obtained the explanations, information, and representations, which we believed were reasonably necessary and relevant for our exercise from the Managements and representatives of the Companies.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Considering the Share entitlement report issued by Axiology Valuetech Private Limited Registered Valuer Entity, related to the transaction, we understand that the scheme contemplates the demerger of Demerged Undertakings of KMSM into KMSAIL under Section 230 to Section 232 and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules issued thereunder to the extent applicable.

The three valuation approaches are the market approach, income approach and cost approach. There are various methods under these approaches which are commonly used for valuation purposes such as:

Under the Market Approach, the following methods are commonly used

  • Market Price Method
  • Comparable Companies Multiple (CCM) Method
  • Comparable Transaction Multiple Method

Under the Income Approach, the following methods are commonly used

  • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method
  • Relief from the Royalty Method
  • Multi-period Excess Earning Method
  • Option Pricing Model

Under the Cost Approach, the following methods are commonly used

  • Replacement Cost Method
  • Reproduction Cost Method

DETERMINATION OF SHARE ENTITLEMENT RATIO FOR DEMERGER OF BUSINESS UNDERTAKINGS OF KMSM into KMSAIL

Pursuant to the Scheme, the shareholders of the Resulting Company will consist exclusively of the shareholders of KMSM, with their shareholding pattern remaining identical to that of KMSM post-demerger. Additionally, the Resulting company are wholly owned subsidiary of KMSM before the demerger, shareholders' interest in KMSM indirectly includes their interest in this subsidiary in the same proportion. As a result, post-demerger shareholders will continue to hold an interest in the Resulting Companies in the same proportion as they previously held in KMSM.

Accordingly, the use of valuation methodologies in current valuation is not applicable and therefore, not carried out for these companies under generally accepted valuation approaches namely cost approach, income approach and market approach, being not applicable.

Determination of Share Entitlement Ratio for Demerger of Distillery Division into Resulting Company:

Based on the Scheme and discussions with the Management, we understand that:

  • The Management is contemplating demerging the Distillery Division from Demerged Company into Resulting Company.
  • KMSAIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of KMSM as of the date of this report.
  • Upon the Scheme becoming effective, the equity shares held by K M Sugar and its nominees in K MSAIL will be cancelled and shareholders of K MSAIL will be entitled to the shares of the Resulting Company.

6

  • Simultaneously and concurrent with the above cancellation upon the scheme becoming effective, shareholders of K M Sugar will be entitled to shares in K MSAIL.
  • Upon the scheme becoming effective, the beneficial economic interest of the shareholders of K M Sugar in the paid-up equity share capital of K MSAIL would be the same as it is in the paid-up equity share capital of K MSAIL.
  • Upon the Scheme becoming effective, all equity shares of the Resulting Company shall, subject to the execution of the listing agreement, be listed on the Stock exchanges, and/or admitted to trading if any.

The determination of share entitlement ratio would not impact the ultimate value for the shareholders of KMSM and the proposed demerger of the Distillery Division of KMSM into KMSAIL, will be value-neutral to KMSM's shareholders.

Based on the aforesaid discussion, considering that:

a) All shareholders of KMSM are and will, upon demerger, become shareholders of KMSAIL, holding beneficial interest in the same proportion as they hold in KMSM; and
b) The level of paid-up equity share capital with respect to the size of undertaking along with serviceability of capital; the following proposed share entitlement ratio is fair to the shareholders of KMSM in relation to the proposed demerger.

Therefore, the following is the fair exchange ratio in this case:

"1 (One) Equity Share of K M Spirits and Allied Industries of face value of INR 10/- each fully paid up for every 5 (Five) equity share of K.M. Sugar of face value of INR 2/- each fully paid up."

Report of Audit Committee of K M Sugar Mills Limited on the Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger of ‘Distillery Division’ (‘Demerged Undertaking’) of K M Sugar Mills Limited (‘Demerged Company’/‘the Company’) into K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited (‘Resulting Company’).

A meeting of Audit Committee of K M Sugar Mills Limited (‘the Company’) was held on 7th August, 2025, to consider and recommend the proposed Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger of ‘Distillery Division’ (‘Demerged Undertaking’) of K M Sugar Mills Limited (‘Demerged Company’/‘the Company’) into K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited (‘Resulting Company’) under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Scheme’/‘Scheme of Arrangement’), in accordance with the SEBI Master Circular no.

The report of the Company is being made in order to comply with the requirements of the aforesaid SEBI Master Circular. The Audit Committee has considered and reviewed the Scheme and drawn out the following major points:

  1. Background:

1.1 Demerged Company:

K M SUGAR MILLS LIMITED (hereinafter also referred to as ‘KMSML’ or ‘Demerged Company’), bearing CIN L15421UP1971PLC003492 was incorporated on 17th December 1971, under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956, having its registered office at 76, Eldeco Greens, Gomtinagar, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – 226010. The Demerged Company is engaged in diversified business of manufacturing and selling of sugar and other residual business including the running of a bagasse-based

Regd. Office : 76, Eldeco Greens, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow – 226010, (U.P.) Phone : 0522-4079561/2308772, Email : [email protected]

cogeneration Power plant ('Sugar Manufacturing Division') and Distillery business including but not limited to manufacturing, selling and distribution of Rectified Spirit, Ethanol, Country Liquor and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA). The Equity Shares of the Demerged Company are listed on the bourses of BSE Limited (BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).

1.2 Resulting Company:

K M SPIRITS AND ALLIED INDUSTRIES LIMITED (hereinafter also referred to as 'KMSAIL' or 'Resulting Company') bearing CIN U15100UP2018PLC101321 was incorporated on 23rd February 2018, under the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, having its registered office at 76, Eldeco Greens Gomtinagar, Uttar Pradesh – 226010. The main object of the memorandum of association of the Resulting Company includes the manufacturing of Rectified Spirit, Ethanol, Country Liquor and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA). The Resulting Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Demerged Company.

1.3 The Scheme inter alia, provides for the Demerger of Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company as a going concern and in consideration, the consequent issuance of the equity shares of the Resulting Company to all the shareholders of the Demerged Company in accordance with the Share Entitlement Ratio determined by the Independent Registered Valuer.

2. Following documents were placed before the Audit Committee:

2.1 Draft Scheme on the proposed Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger of 'Distillery Division' ('Demerged Undertaking') of K M Sugar Mills Limited ('Demerged Company/ 'the Company') into K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited ('Resulting Company');
2.2 Share Entitlement Report containing the Share Entitlement Ratio dated 7th August, 2025, issued by Axiology Valuetech Private Limited, Registered Valuer Entity- all classes (Registration No. IBBI/RV-E/05/2023/201);
2.3 Fairness opinion dated August 07, 2025, obtained from Corporate Professional Capital Private Limited, SEBI Registered, Category-I, Merchant Banker;
2.4 Undertaking dated August 07, 2025 from Aditya Jhunjunwala, Managing Director, on the non-applicability of Para (A) (10) (b) of SEBI Master Circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93 dated June 20, 2023, relating to the approval of majority public shareholders;

124

2.5 Certificate of the statutory auditor dated 7th August, 2025 certifying the non-applicability of Para (A) (10) (b) of SEBI Master Circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93 dated June 20, 2023, relating to the approval of majority public shareholders;

2.6 Certificate dated 7th August, 2025 issued by Mehrotra & Mehrotra, Charter Accountants, the Statutory Auditors of the Company, in accordance with Para A (2) (g) of the SEBI Master Circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/POD-2/P/CIR/2023/93 dated June 20, 2023 and the provisos to Section 230(7) and Section 232(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, certifying that the accounting treatment contained in the draft Scheme is in conformity with the accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.

3. Need and rationale of the Scheme is as follows:

The committee noted the rationale and benefit of the Scheme which, inter alia, are stated below:

3.1 Both the above businesses have their own distinct business dynamics, regulatory environment, customer base and their needs. There is a clear distinction in the growth prospects and risk profile of the two business divisions.

3.2 Over the years, the Distillery Division has matured into a robust and independent business with substantial growth potential. Given the dynamic growth, the Distillery Division is now well-positioned to pursue its own strategic and operational priorities as a separate entity.

3.3 The nature of risk, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods for the Distillery Division is separate and distinct from the Remaining Business (as defined in the Scheme) carried out by the Demerged Company. Further, the way the Distillery Division is required to be handled and managed is not similar to that of the Remaining Business.

3.4 In order to provide enhanced focus to the operations of the Demerged Undertaking, the Companies have proposed to segregate and organise the Distillery Division as a separate entity. Therefore, the Scheme is being proposed to demerge the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company, which is expected to yield the following benefits:

4. Synergies of Business of the entities involved in the Scheme:

The Demerger will create a separate listed entity comprising of the Distillery business thereby unlocking the potential value of the Distillery Division for the Company’s Shareholders. Further, The Audit Committee noted that the Scheme relates to the

127

demerger of the Distillery Division from the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company to create an independent listed company. The said demerger would entail the benefits specified in para 3 above.

The Demerged Undertaking operates as an independent, self-reliant, and integrated facility, with substantial growth potential. The Distillery business is expected to maintain operational efficiency and continuity post-demerger. The transfer of the Distillery Division from the Demerged Company to the Resulting Company is anticipated to be seamless, ensuring the preservation of existing synergies and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

5. Cost Benefit Analysis of the Scheme:

After evaluation of the proposed draft Scheme, the Audit Committee is of the view that the benefits of the Scheme for the stakeholders of the Company in terms of sharpened focus and other benefits as specified in Paragraphs 3 above far outweigh the transaction costs for the implementation of the Scheme.

The present Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger is a tax neutral transaction. Further, the present Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger will unlock the value of the Distillery Division and achieve prosperity in this segment. Thus, the Audit Committee believes that the Scheme will be beneficial for the Demerged Company and Resulting Company.

6. Impact of the Scheme on the Shareholders:

The Audit Committee noted the following:

6.1 Upon the coming into effect of the Scheme and in consideration of transfer and vesting of the Demerged Undertaking in the Resulting Company pursuant to Part II of the Scheme, the Resulting Company shall, without any further act or deed, issue and allot equity shares credited as fully paid up equity shares, to the extent indicated below, on a proportionate basis to the members of the Demerged Company holding fully paid up equity shares in the Demerged Company and whose name appear in the register of shareholders and records of the depository as shareholders of the Demerged Company as on a Record Date, in the ratio as under:

6.2 Simultaneously, the existing equity shares of the Resulting Company as held by the Demerged Company shall stand cancelled and the Resulting Company shall

issue its fresh equity shares to the shareholders of the Demerged Company in the same proportion in which they hold the equity shares in the Demerged Company as mentioned under para 6.1 above, thereby creating a replica shareholding structure in the Resulting Company.

6.3 Upon cancellation of the equity shares of the Resulting Company as held by the Demerged Company, the Resulting Company shall cease to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Demerged Company and shall continue as a separate and independent entity.

6.4 Further, the shares issued as a consideration by Resulting Company to the shareholders of the Demerged Company pursuant to the Scheme shall be listed on BSE and NSE.

In light of the above, the Scheme will not adversely affect the rights or interest of any stakeholder of the Demerged Company including its shareholders or creditors.

7. Recommendations of the Audit Committee

Having considered the documents placed before the Committee i.e., draft Scheme, Share Entitlement Report, Fairness Opinion, Undertaking and Auditor’s Certificate certifying that the accounting treatment contained in the draft Scheme is in conformity with the accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Audit Committee hereby unanimously recommends the draft Scheme for favorable consideration of the Board of Directors of the Company, Stock Exchanges, and Securities and Exchange Board of India and such other Authorities, as applicable.

  1. Salient features of Scheme of Arrangement:

The committee noted the following salient features of the scheme:

130

3.1 The Scheme, inter alia, provides for the Demerger of the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company as a going concern and in consideration, the consequent issuance of the equity shares of the Resulting Company to all the shareholders of the Demerged Company in accordance with the Share Entitlement Ratio determined by the Independent Registered Valuer.

3.2 Simultaneously, with the aforesaid allotment of equity shares by the Resulting Company upon effectiveness of the Scheme, the existing equity shares of the Resulting Company as held by the Demerged Company shall stand cancelled and the Resulting Company shall issue its fresh equity shares to the shareholders of the Demerged Company in the same proportion in which they hold the equity shares in the Demerged Company thereby creating a replica shareholding structure in the Resulting Company.

4. Need and Rationale of the Scheme of Arrangement:

The committee noted the rationale and benefit of the Scheme, which, inter alia, are stated below:

4.1 Both the above businesses have their own distinct business dynamics, regulatory environment, customer base and their needs. There is a clear distinction in the growth prospects and risk profile of the two business divisions.

4.2 Over the years, the Distillery Division has matured into a robust and independent business with substantial growth potential. Given the dynamic growth, the Distillery Division is now well-positioned to pursue its own strategic and operational priorities as a separate entity.

4.3 The nature of risk, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods for the Distillery Division is separate and distinct from the Remaining Business (as defined in the Scheme) carried out by the Demerged Company. Further, the way the Distillery Division is required to be handled and managed is not similar to that of the Remaining Business.

4.4 In order to provide enhanced focus to the operations of the Demerged Undertaking, the Companies have proposed to segregate and organise the Distillery Division as a separate entity. Therefore, the Scheme is being proposed to demerge the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company, which is expected to yield the following benefits:

iii. Unlocking shareholders' value by enabling independent, market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through the listing of the equity shares of the Resulting Company on the Stock Exchanges on which shares of the Demerged Company are listed, pursuant to the Scheme, thereby offering shareholders the option and flexibility to continue their investment in a Distillery business-focused listed entity.

presence. Thus, this enhanced visibility will contribute to long-term stability and further strengthen the companies' future portfolios.

Further, the listing of the equity shares of the Resulting Company on the stock exchanges on which shares of the Demerged Company are listed would help the shareholders of the Demerged Company to unlock the value of their shares.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To The Members of K M Sugar Mills Limited

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of K M Sugar Mills Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiary (the Company and its subsidiary together referred to as "the Group"), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated financial statements").

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 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 consolidate state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2025, and consolidated profit, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 consolidated 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 audit opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our

1

Sl. No. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
1 Valuation of inventory of sugar:

As on March 31, 2025, the Company has inventory of sugar with a carrying value INR - 36022.42 lakhs. The inventory of sugar is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. We considered the value of the inventory of sugar as a key audit matter given the relative value of inventory in the financial statements and significant judgement involved in the consideration of factors such as minimum sale price, monthly quota, fluctuation in selling prices and related notifications of the Government in valuation of NRV. | We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls as established by the management in determination of cost of production and net realizable value of inventory of sugar. We considered various factors including the prevailing selling price during and subsequent to the year end, minimum selling price & monthly quota, and notifications of the Government of India, initiatives taken by the Government with respect to sugar industry as a whole.

Based on the above procedures performed, the management's determination of the net realizable value of the inventory of sugar as at the year-end and comparison with cost for valuation of inventory is considered to be reasonable. |
| 2 | Contingent Liabilities:

There are various litigations pending before various forums against the Company and management's judgement is required for estimating the amount to be disclosed as contingent liability.

We identified this as a key audit matter because the estimates on which these amounts are based involve a significant degree of management judgement in interpreting the cases and it may be subject to management bias. | We have obtained an understanding of the Company's internal instructions and procedures in respect of estimation and disclosure of contingent liabilities and adopted the following audit procedures:

• understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls as established by the management for obtaining all relevant information for pending litigation cases;
• discussed with management regarding any material developments and latest status of legal matters;
• read various correspondences and related documents pertaining to litigation cases produced by the management and relevant external legal opinions obtained by the |

| | management and performed substantive procedures on calculations supporting the disclosure of contingent liabilities;

• examining management’s judgements and assessments whether provisions are required;

• considering the management assessments of those matters that are not disclosed as the probability of material outflow is considered to be remote;

• reviewing the adequacy and completeness of disclosures;

Based on the above procedures performed, the estimation and disclosures of contingent liabilities are considered to be adequate and reasonable. |

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 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.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in

the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group 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 consolidated financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 Group'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 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • 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.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decision 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 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 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.

5

Other Matters

We did not audit the financial statements/ information of 1 (One) subsidiary, i.e. K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited. The financial statements of K M Spirits & Allied Industries Limited reflect total assets of Rs.5.49 lakhs as at 31st March, 2025, total revenues of Rs.0.30 lakhs and net cash flows amounting to Rs.0.20 lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements.

Annexure - A to the Independent Auditors' Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of K M Sugar Mills Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiary company, which is a company incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective companies 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 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, 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") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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.

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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

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 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 company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

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

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the Company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, 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 2025, 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.

2.3 Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with measurement principle under Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgment and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities including the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

Estimates, judgments and assumptions are continuously evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company based its estimates, judgments and assumptions on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The application of accounting policies that require critical judgments and accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed herein below:

(i) Estimated useful life of Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual value of the asset are determined by the management when the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. The lives are based on technical evaluation, historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their lives, such as change in technology.

(ii) Current taxes and deferred taxes

Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of provision for income taxes.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused losses (carry forward of prior years' losses) and unused tax credit to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit would be available against which the losses could be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

153

(iii) Estimation of Defined benefit obligations

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each financial year end.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans, the actuary considers the interest rates of government bonds.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

(iv) Estimated fair value of unlisted securities

The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market and cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The company uses its judgment to select a variety of method / methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each financial year.

The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgment includes considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment (PPE) and Capital work-in-progress (CWIP)

(a) All property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost on the date of transition and the purchase cost of assets, including non recoverable duties and taxes, and any directly attributable cost of bringing an asset to the location and condition of its intended use. Interest on borrowings used to finance the construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of cost of the asset until such time that the asset is ready for its intended use.

(b) Costs incurred subsequent to initial capitalization are included in the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated therewith will flow to the Company and it can be measured reliably.

The costs of regular servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss as and when incurred.

When parts of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate components, otherwise these are added to and depreciated over the useful life of the main asset.

The cost and the accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from use of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

(c) Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Freehold land is not depreciated. Lease-hold land and lease hold improvements are amortised by the lower of estimated useful life and lease term.

Depreciation on other items of property, plant and equipment commences when its assets are available for their intended use.

The Company has elected to continue with carrying value of all Property, plant and equipment and Capital work-in-progress (CWIP) under the previous GAAP as deemed cost as at the transition date i.e. 1st April, 2016. In the financial year 2018-19 and 2019-20, the company has revalued the lease hold assets as well as free hold assets considering entire class of land.

Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment (PPE) is provided on written down value method as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The additional depreciation, on increase in cost on account of revaluation, is transferred to Retained Earnings from Revaluation Reserve and is thus not charged to statement of Profit & Loss of the year.

Useful life of assets are considered on the base of Schedule-II of Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that there estimated useful lives realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

The estimated useful lives considered are as follows:

Category 31st March, 2025
Buildings 03-60 years
Roads 03-10 years
Plant & Machinery 05-25 years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 years
Vehicles 05-10 years
Office Equipments 5 years
Computers 03-06 years
Laboratory Equipments 05-10 years
Electrical Installations and Equipment 10 years

Each item of property, plant and equipment individually costing Rs.5,000/- or less is depreciated over a period of one year from the date the said asset is available for use. However, in case of certain assets for staff individually costing more than Rs.5,000/- are depreciated over the period of one year based on management estimates.

The residual value of an item of property, plant and equipment has been kept at ≤ 5% of the cost of the respective assets.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year and are given effect to, wherever appropriate.

(d) Expenditure during construction period

Directly attributable expenditure (including finance cost related to borrowed funds for construction or acquisition of property, plant and equipment) incurred on projects under implementation are treated as Pre-operative expenses pending allocation to the assets and are shown under Capital work-in-progress. Capital work-in-progress is stated at the amount incurred up to the Balance Sheet date on assets or property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use.

2.5 Intangible assets

The Company has elected to continue with carrying value of computer software under the previous GAAP, as deemed cost since 1st April, 2016. Computer software if any purchased during the year has been stated at their original cost (net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if

Intangible assets expected to provide future enduring economic benefits are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition of such assets and are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each financial year and are given effect to, wherever appropriate.

The cost and related accumulated amortization are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Intangible assets: Computer software is amortized over a period of three years and brand development is amortized over a period of five years.

2.6 Revenue Recognition and Expenses

(i) Effective April 1 2018 the company adopted Ind AS 115, revenue from contracts with customer using the cumulative catch up transition method, applied to contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. In accordance with the cumulative catch up transition method, the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Arrangements with customers for services and goods are either on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe or on a time-and-material basis.

Revenue on supply and service contracts are recognized as the related performance obligation is completed.

Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which we refer to as unbilled revenue) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

(ii) Insurance claims have been accounted for on cash basis looking in to the uncertainty and its collection as per past practice.

(iii) Interest Income is accounted for on time proportionate basis. For all debt instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recognized using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR"). Interest Income is included in "Other Income" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) Dividend Income is recognized when the Company's right to receive the dividend is established i.e. in case of interim dividend, on the date of declaration by the Board of Directors; whereas in case of final dividend, on the date of approval by shareholders.

(v) All expenses are accounted for on accrual basis.

156

2.7 Inventory

Cost of inventory comprises of purchase price, cost of conversion and other cost that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their respective present location and condition. Interest costs are not included in value of inventory.

Inventories are valued as under:

  • Raw Materials and Finished Goods (except molasses) are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value. Stock of Molasses is carried at net realizable value.
  • Stores & Spares are carried at cost.
  • Goods in Process / WIP are carried at lower of cost and net realizable Value.
  • Banked power with UPPCL is carried at lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost for the purpose of valuations of raw material and components, stores & spares are considered on following basis:

Manufacturing Units Basis
Sugar - Raw Material First in First Out
Trading Goods First in First Out
Distillery - Raw Material First in First Out
Stores & Spares Other components Weighted Average
Co-generation - Raw Material First in First Out

2.8 Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
  • In the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

  • Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties. Involvement of external valuers is decided by the management after discussion with and approval by the Company's management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The management decides, after discussions with the Company's external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.

At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities, which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company's accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

The management, in conjunction with the Company's external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.9 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. The financial assets include equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, loans and advances, cash and bank balances and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the following categories:

  • At amortised cost,
  • At fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOC1), and
  • At fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

158

Debt instruments at amortised cost

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset for collecting contractual cash flows, and
  • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Equity investments

All equity investments in the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value.

Deemed cost is the carrying amount under the previous GAAP as at the transition date i.e. 1st April, 2016. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category, if any, are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in profit or loss. The Company may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value.

The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in OCI.

There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Preference Share

The fair value of the investments made in a subsidiary company is determined using cost model as prescribed IND AS 27, Fair value of preference share in other company has been determined on the basis of amortized cost. The discount rate has been taken at a incremental borrowing rate for the company after considering percentage of dividend. Difference between the actual cost and amortized cost is accounted for under "Finance cost" as Gain/loss arising on fair valuation of preference share and unwinding of interest is accounted for under "Other income".

De-recognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

B. Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities (other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

159

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Derecognition of financial liabilities:

A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when, and only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

C. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities including derivative instruments are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.10 Employees Benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia. The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits to be paid in exchange for employee services are recognized as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees.

(ii) Post employment benefits

Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The company makes specified monthly contributions towards provident fund. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which employee renders the related service.

Defined benefit plan:

The Company's gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of a defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on the material valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of

img-31.jpeg

img-32.jpeg

service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.

When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the other comprehensive income

(iii) Long term employment benefits

The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method and is discounted to its present value and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.

(iv) Compensated absences

The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accrued compensated absences and utilize it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit & Loss for the year in which the related service is rendered.

2.11 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset till such time that is required to complete and prepare the asset to get ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

All other borrowing cost is charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.12 Dividend Payable

Dividend payable on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividend are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

img-35.jpeg

161

2.13 Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant would be received and the Company would comply with all the conditions attached with them.

Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are treated as deferred income (included under non-current liabilities with current portion considered under current liabilities) and are recognized and credited in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset and included under "Other Income".

The benefit of government loan at a below-market rate of interest or loan with interest subvention is treated as a government grant. The Difference between the market rate of interest and actual rate of interest is treated as government grant.

2.14 Financial Derivatives and Commodity Hedging Transactions

Financial Derivatives and commodity hedging contracts are accounted for on the date of their settlement and realized gain/loss in respect of settled contracts are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss, along with the underlying transactions.

2.15 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency at the year end are translated at year end rates.

Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of initial transaction.

In respect of monetary items which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the year end and the rate on the date of contract is recognized as exchange difference and the premium on such forward contracts is recognized over the life of the forward contract.

The exchange differences arising on settlement/translation are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.16 Taxes on Income

(a) Current Tax

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

(b) Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statement and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (other than a business combination) affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

img-36.jpeg

img-37.jpeg

img-38.jpeg

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credit to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The company has revalued its lease hold property but deferred tax liabilities is not recognised on the ground that the company does not have sale / transfer right with regard to lease hold land.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences.

2.17 Impairment of Assets

Non financial Assets

Non financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets' carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, costs of disposal and value in use.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash generating units).

Non financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of the each reporting period.

Financial Assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances using the Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. ECL impairment loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the Balance Sheet.

The allowances are reduced from the carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not adjust impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

2.18 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

(a) Provision is recognized in respect of obligations where, based on the evidence available, their existence at the Balance Sheet date is considered probable.

(b) Provision is recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated.

(c) Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

(d) Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

img-39.jpeg

img-40.jpeg

img-41.jpeg

(e) A contingent asset is not recognized in the financial statements, however, is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(f) Provisions and contingent liabilities are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

2.19 Investment Property

Investment property is property (land or a building—or part of a building—or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:

(a) use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
(b) sale in the ordinary course of business. Owner-occupied property is property held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are accounted for in the books at cost. However, fair value of such property is required to be disclosed only in accordance with Ind AS 40.

2.20 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified and reported taking into account the different risk and return, organisational structure and internal reporting system.

2.21 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extra ordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extra ordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares which could be issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.22 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance sheet comprise cash on hand, cheques on hand, balance with banks on current accounts and short term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which carry insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the Cash Flow Statement, Cash and cash equivalents consist of Cash and cash equivalents, as defined above and net of outstanding book overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management

2.23 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payment and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing flows. The cash flows operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.

2.26 Leases

Effective April 01, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases", applied to all lease contracts existing on April 01, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, the Company recognizes right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. The right-of-use asset is measure equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application.

The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgment in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Company as a lessee

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Company recognizes right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest rate. The lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and

img-45.jpeg

img-46.jpeg

img-47.jpeg

remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Company as a lessor

At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

KM Sugar Mills Ltd.
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2025

37.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's principal financial liabilities include Borrowings, Trade payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations. The Group's principal financial assets include Trade receivables, Cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents and Other financial assets that arise directly from its operations.

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Group's senior management oversees the management of these risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The senior management provides assurance that the Group's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group's policies and risk objectives.

The Board of Directors reviewed policies for managing each of below mentioned risks, which are summarized below:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other risks, such as regulatory risk and commodity price risk.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's borrowings obligations with floating interest rates. To mitigate the interest rate risks, the Group has established a periodical review procedure and ensures long term relations with the lenders to raise adequate funds at competitive rates.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. This foreign currency risk is covered by using foreign exchange forward contracts and currency swap contracts. The Group does not have substantial transactions during the year in foreign currency so the Group does not have such kind of risk.

The Group got converted INR term loan in foreign currency during the current financial year for a period of 180 days with hedging of the repayments.

Foreign currency risk 31st March, 2025 31st March, 2024
In USD Rs. in lakhs In USD Rs. in lakhs
Outstanding Balance from customers NIL NIL NIL NIL
Outstanding Balance of term loan 21,04,941 1784.74 NIL NIL

(iii) Regulatory risk

Sugar industry is regulated both by central government as well as state government. Central and state government's policies and regulations affect the Sugar industry and the Group's operations and profitability. Distillery business is also dependent on the Government policy.

(iv) Commodity price risk

Sugar industry being cyclical in nature, realizations get adversely affected during downturn. Higher cane price or higher production than the demand ultimately affects profitability. The Group has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group's sugar sales are mostly on cash. Power and ethanol are sold to state government entities; thereby the credit default risk is significantly mitigated. The Central Govt. has fixed the minimum sale price of sugar w.e.f. 14.02.2019 at Rs.3,100 per Qd. which has mitigated the price risk to the same extent. Similarly, ethanol and power are sold to the Govt. undertakings at fixed prices as per Govt. orders / regulatory guidelines.

The impairment for financial assets is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each balance sheet date. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, however, the Group continues to attempt to recover the receivables. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(i) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on credit terms of 3 to 60 days. An impairment analysis is performed at each balance sheet date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is the ageing analysis of the receivables has been considered from the date the invoice falls due:

Description 31^{st} March, 2025 31^{st} March, 2024
Upto 6 months 831.29 2,485.73
6 to 12 Months 0.01 435.60
More than 12 months 23.72 27.88

The management has made provision for expected credit loss amounting to Rs.16.01 lakhs (Rs.15.94 lakhs) and management is of view that although certain amounts are beyond credit period but they are in fact recoverable and will be received in due course so balance amount is not liable to expected credit loss.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed under Note No. 11. The following table summarizes the change in the loss allowances measured using life time expected credit loss method for trade receivables:

Particulars Amount
Balance as at 01st April, 2024 15.94
Provided during the year 0.07
Reversed during the year -

Balance as at 01st April, 2023 15.94
--- ---

Reversed during the year -
Balance as at 31st March, 2024 15.94

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the probability of loss arising from a situation where there will not be enough cash and/or cash equivalents to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers, sale of illiquid assets will yield less than their fair value and illiquid assets will not be sold at the desired time due to lack of buyers. The primary objective of liquidity management is to provide for sufficient cash and cash equivalents at all times and any place in the world to enable us to meet our payment obligations. The Group is maintaining cash credit limit to a reasonable level to meet out the current obligation.

The Group's objectives are to meet the funding requirements and maintain flexibility in this respect through the use of cash credit facilities and term loans.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities:

Liabilities Less than 1 Year 1 to 5 years More than 5 years Total

37.2 Capital Management

(i) Risk Management

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to maximize the shareholders value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group's policy is to keep the gearing ratio under control. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and short-term deposits.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing during the current period.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended 31st March, 2025 and 31st March, 2024:

Fair value of Plan Assets 312.21 290.50 245.65 256.73 250.27

The Group is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest rate risk: The plan exposes the Group to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Salary escalation risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase 5% per annum of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

Actual mortality & disability: Deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.

Sensitivity Analysis: Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and expected salary increase rate. Effect of change in mortality rate is negligible. Please note that the sensitivity analysis presented below may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

37.13 In view of the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court, extra price and excise duty realized on levy sugar in earlier years amounting to Rs.67.11 lakhs for funding under the Sugar Price Equalization Fund Act, 1976 was transferred to Sugar Price Equalization Reserve Account. Later on as per the order dated 22.09.1993 of Hon'ble Supreme Court, a sum of Rs.17.90 lakhs was paid to the Government out of bank guarantee furnished by the Group and further, during the year 1998-99 a sum of Rs.1.00 lakhs were paid towards Excise Duty on the above. The Group has further made a payment of Rs.35.81 lakhs during the year 2005-06 to the Government of India against the bank guarantee furnished by it along with interest of Rs.118.25 lakhs thereon. Still a sum of Rs.12.40 lakhs is lying in the Sugar Price Equalization Reserve as on 31st March, 2025 shown under Note 17 of "Other equity".

37.14 Certain balances in account of trade receivables, advances, deposit accounts and trade payables are subject to reconciliation and confirmation by the respective parties. The management reviewed these advances from time to time, the required provisions have been considered in the accounts. The management is of the view that the realization from these assets in the ordinary course of business would not be less than the amount at which they are stated in the books of account.

37.15 Other non-current liabilities (Note No.20) includes a loan from U.P. Government amounting to Rs.14.50 lakhs. The issue relating to interest payable thereon is under dispute and the matter is sub-judice before the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court. However, as per the interim order of the Court, a fixed deposit of Rs.14.50 lakhs has been kept with the District Magistrate, Ayodhya. In opinion of the management, the amount of interest accrued on this fixed deposit is adequate to meet the interest obligation liability of the Group on the said loan and therefore, no interest is being provided for in these financial statements.

37.16 As per Bihar State Government directions, the operations of country liquor bottling unit remain discontinued during the year. However, the plant and machinery of that unit was moved in earlier years to the Distillery Unit for manufacturing of country liquor. Thus, depreciation on building due to obsolescence has been provided in earlier years and the written down value as on 31st March, 2025 is Rs.0.37 lakhs.

37.17 Since, the sugar industry is a seasonal industry; the cost of production of sugar is worked out on annualized basis considering prime cost, factory overhead and administrative overhead closely related to manufacturing of output.

37.18 The management is of the view that dividend payment is most probable to receive from the investments in the preference shares of Sonar Casting Ltd. considering dividend at 12.50% and this fact has been taken into account while determining the fair value of the investment. However, no dividend received on the investment since amount invested.

37.19 The Central Government pursuant to Notification No. 1(1)/2025-SP dated 20th January, 2025 issued by the Hon'ble Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution (Department of Food and Public Distribution) has notified sugar mill wise export quantity of sugar for export in sugar season 2024-25 in order to prevent uncontrolled export of sugar and with a view to ensure sufficient availability of sugar for domestic consumption at a reasonable price. The notification also provides facility to export sugar themselves or through merchant exporter or exchange their export quota with domestic quota of any other sugar mill.

Pursuant to above notification, the Group has sold its export quota for exchange with domestic quota of another sugar mill. The amount received on sale of export quota of Rs.253.68 lakhs (Previous year Rs. Nil) has been shown as line item "Export quota sale receipt" under Revenue from operations.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of KM Sugar Mills Limited

Report on the Audit of financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of KM Sugar Mills Limited (“the Company”) which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information [hereinafter referred to as “the financial statements”].

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid 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 March 31, 2025, and profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules. 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 audit opinion on the 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, 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.

Sl. No. Key Audit Matter Auditor's Response
1 Valuation of inventory of sugar:

As on March 31, 2025, the Company has inventory of sugar with a carrying value INR 36022.42 lakhs. The inventory of sugar is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. We considered the value of the inventory of sugar as a key audit matter given the relative value of inventory in the financial statements and significant judgement involved in the consideration of factors such as minimum sale price, monthly quota, fluctuation in selling prices and related notifications of the Government in valuation of NRV. | Principal Audit Procedures

We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls as established by the management in determination of cost of production and net realizable value of inventory of sugar. We considered various factors including the prevailing selling price during and subsequent to the year end, minimum selling price & monthly quota, and notifications of the Government of India, initiatives taken by the Government with respect to sugar industry as a whole.

Based on the above procedures performed, the management's determination of the net realizable value of the inventory of sugar as at the year-end and comparison with cost for valuation of inventory is considered to be reasonable. |
| 3 | Contingent Liabilities:

There are various litigations pending before various forums against the Company and management's judgement is required for estimating the amount to be disclosed as contingent liability.

We identified this as a key audit matter because the estimates on which these amounts are based involve a significant degree of management judgement in interpreting the cases and it may be subject to management bias. | Principal Audit Procedures

We have obtained an understanding of the Company's internal instructions and procedures in respect of estimation and disclosure of contingent liabilities and adopted the following audit procedures:

  • understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls as established by the management for obtaining all relevant information for pending litigation cases;

  • discussing with management any material developments and latest status of legal matters;

  • read various correspondences and related documents pertaining to litigation cases produced by the management and relevant external legal opinions obtained by the management and performed substantive procedures on calculations supporting the |

| | disclosure of contingent liabilities;
- examining management’s judgements and assessments whether provisions are required;
- considering the management assessments of those matters that are not disclosed as the probability of material outflow is considered to be remote; - reviewing the adequacy and completeness of disclosures;
Based on the above procedures performed, the estimation and disclosures of contingent liabilities are considered to be adequate and reasonable. |

Information Other than the standalone financial statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, 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 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.

Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities, selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and

completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

INDIVIDUAL AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Members of KM Sugar Mills Limited
Report on the Financial Statements
Page 5 of 15
Makretes & Makretes
Chartered Accountants

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 standalone 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, 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 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.

a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

Annexure - B to the Independent Auditors' Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of KM Sugar Mills Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March 2025 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

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 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

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”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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.

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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

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

14

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 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 company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

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.

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 31 March 2025, 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.

K M SUGAR MILLS LIMITED
Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements

1. Corporate Information

K M Sugar Mills Limited (“the Company”) having Corporate Identity Number (“CIN”) L15421UP1971PLC003492 is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office situated at 76, Eldeco Greens, Gomtinagar, Lucknow-226010, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The Company’s shares are listed on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.

The Company is engaged in sugar manufacturing. The principal activity of the Company is manufacturing and sale of sugar. Besides this, the allied business activities undertaken by the Company primarily consists of manufacturing and sale of Ethanol, Ethyl Alcohol, generation of power using bagasse and manufacturing and sale of Country Liquor.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

The standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as “Ind AS”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time).

All the Ind AS issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) till the financial statements are approved for issue by the Board of Directors has been considered in preparing these financial statements.

2.2 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, under the historical cost convention except for the following:

(i) Certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value and
(ii) Defined benefits plan - plan assets measured at fair value.

There is no change in the system of accounting as being consistently followed from earlier years unless otherwise stated.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are considered as non-current.

2.3 Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with measurement principle under Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgment and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities including the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

img-39.jpeg
img-40.jpeg
img-41.jpeg

Estimates, judgments and assumptions are continuously evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company based its estimates, judgments and assumptions on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The application of accounting policies that require critical judgments and accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed herein below:

(i) Estimated useful life of Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual value of the asset are determined by the management when the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. The lives are based on technical evaluation, historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their lives, such as change in technology.

(ii) Current taxes and deferred taxes

Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of provision for income taxes.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused losses (carry forward of prior years' losses) and unused tax credit to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit would be available against which the losses could be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

(iii) Estimation of Defined benefit obligations

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each financial year end.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans, the actuary considers the interest rates of government bonds.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

(iv) Estimated fair value of unlisted securities

The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market and cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The company uses its judgment to select a variety

of method / methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each financial year.

The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgment includes considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment (PPE) and Capital work-in-progress (CWIP)

(a) All property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost on the date of transition and the purchase cost of assets, including non recoverable duties and taxes, and any directly attributable cost of bringing an asset to the location and condition of its intended use. Interest on borrowings used to finance the construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of cost of the asset until such time that the asset is ready for its intended use.

(b) Costs incurred subsequent to initial capitalization are included in the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated therewith will flow to the Company and it can be measured reliably.

The costs of regular servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss as and when incurred.

When parts of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate components, otherwise these are added to and depreciated over the useful life of the main asset.

The cost and the accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from use of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

(c) Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Freehold land is not depreciated. Lease-hold land and lease hold improvements are amortised over the lower of estimated useful life and lease term.

Depreciation on other items of property, plant and equipment commences when its assets are available for their intended use.

The Company has elected to continue with carrying value of all Property, plant and equipment and Capital work-in-progress (CWIP) under the previous GAAP as deemed cost as at the transition date i.e. 1st April, 2016. In the financial year 2018-19 and 2019-20, the company has revalued the lease hold assets as well as free hold assets considering entire class of land.

Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment (PPE) is provided on written down value method as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The additional depreciation, on increase in cost on account of revaluation, is transferred to Retained Earnings from Revaluation Reserve and is thus not charged to statement of Profit & Loss of the year.

Useful life of assets are considered on the base is of Schedule-II of Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

The estimated useful lives considered are as follows:

Category 31st March, 2025
Buildings 03-60 years
Roads 03-10 years
Plant & Machinery 05-25 years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 years
Vehicles 05-10 years
Office Equipments 5 years
Computers 03-06 years
Laboratory Equipments 05-10 years
Electrical Installations and Equipment 10 years

Each item of property, plant and equipment individually costing Rs.5,000/- or less is depreciated over a period of one year from the date the said asset is available for use. However, in case of certain assets for staff individually costing more than Rs.5,000/- are depreciated over the period of one year based on management estimates.

The residual value of an item of property, plant and equipment has been kept at ≤ 5% of the cost of the respective assets.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year and are given effect to, wherever appropriate.

(d) Expenditure during construction period

Directly attributable expenditure (including finance cost related to borrowed funds for construction or acquisition of property, plant and equipment) incurred on projects under implementation are treated as Pre-operative expenses pending allocation to the assets and are shown under Capital work-in-progress. Capital work-in-progress is stated at the amount incurred up to the Balance Sheet date on assets or property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use.

2.5 Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. For this purpose, cost includes carrying value as Deemed cost on the date of transition.

Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Intangible assets: Computer software is amortized over a period of three years and brand development is amortized over a period of five years.

229

2.6 Revenue Recognition and Expenses

(i) Effective April 1 2018 the company adopted Ind AS 115, revenue from contracts with customer using the cumulative catch up transition method, applied to contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. In accordance with the cumulative catch up transition method, the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Arrangements with customers for services and goods are either on a fixed-price, fixed-timeframe or on a time-and-material basis.

Revenue on supply and service contracts are recognized as the related performance obligation is completed.

Revenue from fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which we refer to as unbilled revenue) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

(ii) Insurance claims have been accounted for on cash basis looking in to the uncertainty and its collection as per past practice.

(iii) Interest Income is accounted for on time proportionate basis. For all debt instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recognized using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR"). Interest Income is included in "Other Income" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) Dividend Income is recognized when the Company's right to receive the dividend is established i.e. in case of interim dividend, on the date of declaration by the Board of Directors; whereas in case of final dividend, on the date of approval by shareholders.

(v) All expenses are accounted for on accrual basis.

2.7 Inventory

Cost of inventory comprises of purchase price, cost of conversion and other cost that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their respective present location and condition. Interest costs are not included in value of inventory.

Inventories are valued as under:

  • Raw Materials and Finished Goods (except molasses) are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value. Stock of Molasses is carried at net realizable value.
  • Stores & Spares are carried at cost.
  • Goods in Process / WIP are carried at lower of cost and net realizable Value.
  • Banked power with UPPCL is carried at lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost for the purpose of valuations of raw material and components, stores & spares are considered on following basis:

Manufacturing Units Basis
Sugar - Raw Material First in First Out
Trading Goods First in First Out
Distillery- Raw Material First in First Out
Stores & Spares Other components Weighted Average
Co-generation - Raw Material First in First Out

2.8 Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
  • In the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
  • Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties. Involvement of external valuers is decided by the management after discussion with and approval by the Company's management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The management decides, after discussions with the Company's external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.

At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities, which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company's accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

The management, in conjunction with the Company's external valuers, also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.9 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.

A. Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. The financial assets include equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, loans and advances, cash and bank balances and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the following categories:

  • At amortised cost,
  • At fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), and
  • At fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Debt instruments at amortised cost

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset for collecting contractual cash flows, and
  • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

232

Equity investments

All equity investments in the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value except in case of investment in subsidiary carried at deemed cost and associate carried at cost.

Deemed cost is the carrying amount under the previous GAAP as at the transition date i.e. 1st April, 2016. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category, if any, are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in profit or loss. The Company may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value.

The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in OCI.

There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Preference Share

The fair value of the investments made in a subsidiary company is determined using cost model as prescribed IND AS 27, Fair value of preference share in other company has been determined on the basis of amortized cost. The discount rate has been taken at is incremental borrowing rate for the company after considering percentage of dividend. Difference between the actual cost and amortized cost is accounted for under "Finance cost" as Gain/loss arising on fair valuation of preference share and unwinding of interest is accounted for under "Other income"

De-recognition

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

B. Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities (other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Derecognition of financial liabilities:

A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when, and only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

C. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities including derivative instruments are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.10 Employees Benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratis. The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits to be paid in exchange for employee services are recognized as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees.

(ii) Post employment benefits

Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The company makes specified monthly contributions towards provident fund. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which employee renders the related service.

Defined benefit plan:

The Company's gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of a defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.

When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the other comprehensive income

(iii) Long term employment benefits

The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method and is discounted to its present value and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.

(iv) Compensated absences

The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accrued compensated absences and utilize it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit & Loss for the year in which the related service is rendered.

2.11 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset till such time that is required to complete and prepare the asset to get ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

All other borrowing cost is charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.12 Dividend payable

Dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividend are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

2.13 Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant would be received and the Company would comply with all the conditions attached with them.

Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are treated as deferred income (included under non-current liabilities with current portion considered under current liabilities) and are recognized and credited in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset and included under "Other Income".

The benefit of government loan at a below-market rate of interest or loan with interest subvention is treated as a government grant. The Difference between the market rate of interest and actual rate of interest is treated as government grant.

235

2.14 Financial Derivatives and Commodity Hedging Transactions

Financial Derivatives and commodity hedging contracts are accounted for on the date of their settlement and realized gain/loss in respect of settled contracts are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss, along with the underlying transactions.

2.15 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency at the year end are translated at year end rates.

Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of initial transaction.

In respect of monetary items which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the year end and the rate on the date of contract is recognized as exchange difference and the premium on such forward contracts is recognized over the life of the forward contract.

The exchange differences arising on settlement/translation are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.16 Taxes on Income

(a) Current Tax

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

(b) Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statement and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (other than a business combination) affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred tax assets are recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credit to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The company has revalued its lease hold property but deferred tax liabilities is not recognized on the ground that the company does not have sale / transfer right with regard to lease hold land.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences.

2.17 Impairment of Assets

Non financial Assets

Non financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets' carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, costs of disposal and value in use.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash generating units).

Non financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of the each reporting period.

Financial Assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances using the Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. ECL impairment loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the Balance Sheet.

The allowances are reduced from the carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not adjust impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

2.18 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

(a) Provision is recognized in respect of obligations where, based on the evidence available, their existence at the Balance Sheet date is considered probable.

(b) Provision is recognized in the accounts in respect of present probable obligations, the amount of which can be reliably estimated.

(c) Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

(d) Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

(e) A contingent asset is not recognized in the financial statements, however, is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

(f) Provisions and contingent liabilities are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

2.19 Investment Property

Investment property is property (land or a building—or part of a building—or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:

(a) use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
(b) sale in the ordinary course of business. Owner-occupied property is property held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are accounted for in the books at cost. However, fair value of such property is required to be disclosed only in accordance with Ind AS 40.

2.20 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified and reported taking into account the different risk and return, organisational structure and internal reporting system.

2.21 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extra ordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extra ordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares which could be issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.22 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance sheet comprise cash on hand, cheques on hand, balance with banks on current accounts and short term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which carry insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the Cash Flow Statement, Cash and cash equivalents consist of Cash and cash equivalents, as defined above and net of outstanding book overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.

2.23 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payment and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing flows. The cash flows operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.

2.26 Leases

Effective April 01, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases", applied to all lease contracts existing on April 01, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, the Company recognizes right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. The right-of-use asset is measure equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application.

The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgment in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain

img-75.jpeg

img-76.jpeg

img-77.jpeg

not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Company as a lessee

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

KM Sugar Mills Ltd.

Notes forming part of Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2025

37.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company's principal financial liabilities include Borrowings, Trade payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include Trade receivables, Cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents and Other financial assets that arise directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The senior management provides assurance that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives.

The Board of Directors reviewed policies for managing each of below mentioned risks, which are summarized below:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other risks, such as regulatory risk and commodity price risk.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's borrowings obligations with floating interest rates. To mitigate the interest rate risks, the Company has established a periodical review procedure and ensures long term relations with the lenders to raise adequate funds at competitive rates.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. This foreign currency risk is covered by using foreign exchange forward contracts and currency swap contracts. The Company does not have substantial transactions during the year in foreign currency so the Company does not have such kind of risk.

The Company got converted INR term loan in foreign currency during the current financial year for a period of 180 days with hedging of the repayments.

Foreign currency risk 31st March, 2025 31st March, 2024
In USD Rs. in lakhs In USD Rs. in lakhs
Outstanding Balance from customers NIL NIL NIL NIL
Outstanding Balance of term loan 21,04,941 1784.74 NIL NIL

(iii) Regulatory risk

Sugar industry is regulated both by central government as well as state government. Central and state government's policies and regulations affect the Sugar industry and the Company's operations and profitability. Distillery business is also dependent on the Government policy.

(iv) Commodity price risk

Sugar industry being cyclical in nature, realizations get adversely affected during downturn. Higher cane price or higher production than the demand ultimately affects profitability. The Company has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company's sugar sales are mostly on cash. Power and ethanol are sold to state government entities; thereby the credit default risk is significantly mitigated. The Central Govt. has fixed the minimum sale price of sugar w.e.f. 14.02.2019 at Rs.3,100 per Qtl. which has mitigated the price risk to the some extent. Similarly, ethanol is sold to the Govt. undertakings/Oil manufacturing companies and power is sold to the Govt. undertaking at fixed prices as per Govt. orders / regulatory guidelines.

The impairment for financial assets is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each balance sheet date. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, however, the Company continues to attempt to recover the receivables. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(i) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on credit terms of 3 to 60 days. An impairment analysis is performed at each balance sheet date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is the ageing analysis of the receivables has been considered from the date the invoice falls due:

Description 31st March, 2025 31st March, 2024
Upto 6 months 831.29 2,485.73
6 to 12 Months 0.01 435.60
More than 12 months 23.72 27.88

The management has made provision for expected credit loss amounting to Rs.16.01 lakhs (Rs.15.94 lakhs) and management is of view that although certain amounts are beyond credit period but they are in fact recoverable and will be received in due course so balance amount is not liable to expected credit loss.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed under Note No. 11. The following table summarizes the change in the loss allowances measured using life time expected credit loss method for trade receivables:

Particulars Amount
Balance as at 01st April, 2024 15.94
Provided during the year 0.07
Reversed during the year -
Balance as at 31st March, 2025 16.01
Balance as at 01st April, 2023 15.94
--- ---
Provided during the year -
Reversed during the year -
Balance as at 31st March, 2024 15.94

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the probability of loss arising from a situation where there will not be enough cash and/or cash equivalents to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers, sale of illiquid assets will yield less than their fair value and illiquid assets will not be sold at the desired time due to lack of buyers. The primary objective of liquidity management is to provide for sufficient cash and cash equivalents at all times and any place in the world to enable us to meet our payment obligations. The Company is maintaining cash credit limit to a reasonable level to meet out the current obligation.

The Company's objectives are to meet the funding requirements and maintain flexibility in this respect through the use of cash credit facilities and term loans.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities:

Liabilities Less than 1 Year 1 to 5 years More than 5 years Total

37.2 Capital Management

(i) Risk Management

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximize the shareholders value.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company's policy is to keep the gearing ratio under control except for the first quarter of the financial year due to non-payment of cane dues. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and short-term deposits.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing during the current period.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended 31st March, 2025 and 31st March, 2024:

The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Salary escalation risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase 5% per annum of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

Actual mortality & disability: Deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.

Independent Auditor's Limited Review Report on the unaudited standalone quarterly financial results of K M Sugar Mills Limited pursuant to Regulation 33 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015, as amended, for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025

To The Board of Directors of K M Sugar Mills Limited

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of K M Sugar Mills Limited, (the 'Company'), for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025 (the 'Statement') attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015 (the "Listing Regulations"), as amended to date, which has been initialed by us for identification purpose.

  2. This statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (Ind AS 34) prescribed u/s 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued there under and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.

  3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

  4. Based on our review conducted and procedure performed as stated in Paragraph 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') specified u/s 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with relevant rules issued there under and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 read with the Circular, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Independent Auditor's Limited Review Report on the unaudited consolidated quarterly financial results of K M Sugar Mills Limited pursuant to Regulation 33 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015, as amended, for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025

To The Board of Directors of K M Sugar Mills Limited

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results of K M Sugar Mills Limited. (the 'Parent') and its one subsidiary (the Parent and its subsidiary together referred to as the 'Group'), for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025 (the 'Statement'), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015, as amended to date (the "Listing Regulations"), which has been initialed by us for identification purposes.

  2. This statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's Management and has been approved by the Parent's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ('Ind AS 34'), prescribed u/s 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.

  3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of Interim Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing and consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

  1. The Statement includes results of the following entity (Subsidiary):
Serial No. Name of the Entity Relationship
1. K M Sugar Mills Limited Parent Company
2. K M Spirits & Allied Industries Limited Subsidiary
  1. Based on our review conducted and procedure performed as stated in Paragraph 3 above and based on the considerations of the review reports of other auditors referred to in Paragraph 6 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the

300

SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

  1. The statement includes the interim financial information / financial results of one subsidiary which has not been reviewed, whose results reflect total assets of Rs.5.73 lakhs, total revenue of Rs.0.08 lakhs and Rs.0.23 lakhs and total net profit/(loss) after tax of (Rs.0.03) lakhs and Rs.0.03 lakhs and total comprehensive income of (Rs.0.03) lakhs and Rs.0.03 lakhs for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025 respectively, as considered in the unaudited consolidated financial results. According to the information and explanations given to us by the Parent’s management, these interim financial information / financial results are not material to the Group.

Our conclusion on the statement is not modified in respect of the above matters.

  1. Summary of the Industry
    The Indian distillery sector, forming part of the broader food processing industry, is closely linked to agriculture, particularly sugarcane and grain production, and plays a dual role in supplying ethanol for fuel blending and alcohol for industrial and potable use. The sector is witnessing strong growth driven by rising alcohol consumption, increasing industrial demand, and, most significantly, the Government of India's push towards achieving 20% ethanol blending, which has led to greater diversion of molasses and surplus grains towards ethanol production. India's abundant raw material base and supportive policy framework provide a competitive advantage, while ongoing capacity expansions, integration with sugar operations, and a shift towards grain-based distillation are reshaping the industry. Additionally, increasing export potential of alcoholic beverages and alignment with clean energy goals position the distillery sector as a key contributor to both economic growth and energy sustainability, despite challenges such as regulatory complexities and feedstock price volatility.

The relevant extract of the draft Scheme and our certificate dated August 07, 2025, are annexed hereto as Annexure-01 and Annexure-02, respectively. For clarity, it is submitted that the reference to Clause 2 of Part III of the Scheme in our said certificate pertains to Paragraph 3.2 of Part 3 of the draft Scheme, as intended.

  1. Detailed rationale for arriving at the swap ratio for issuance of shares as proposed in the draft scheme of arrangement.

We understand that as part of the Proposed Scheme, the Distillery Division (Demerged Undertaking) of K M Sugar Mills Limited (Demerged Company) will be demerged and transferred to K M Spirits and Allied Industries Limited (Resulting Company). Presently, the Demerged Company holds 100% equity shares of Resulting Company.

As consideration, the Resulting Company shall issue equity shares to the shareholders of the Demerged Company in proportion to their respective shareholding in the Demerged Company. Consequently, all shareholders of Demerged Company would become shareholders of Resulting Company, and the shareholding pattern of the Resulting Company shall mirror that of the Demerged Company.

Hence, the share entitlement ratio "1 (One) fully paid up equity share of face value of INR 10/- (Rupee Ten) each of the Resulting Company for every 5 (Five) fully paid up equity share of face value of INR 2/- (Rupee Two) each held in the Demerged Company", can be considered appropriate and fair for the Proposed Demerger.

The Certificate is being issued at the request of the Company for onward submission to the Stock Exchange(s), SEBI and any other regulatory authority, in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger between K M Sugar Mills Limited ('Demerged Company') and KM Spirits and Allied Industries Limited ('Resulting Company'), with a view to obtain the no-objection as required under Regulation 37 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

353

3&4) DETAILED OBJECTIVE & RATIONALE OF THE SCHEME

The objective of this Scheme of Arrangement, under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013, is to demerge the Distillery Division of K M Sugar Mills Limited ('Demerged Company') into KM Spirits and Allied Industries Limited ('Resulting Company'). The Resulting Company will issue its equity shares to the shareholders of the Demerged Company in consideration for the Demerger, as per the share entitlement ratio. Upon the Effective Date, the Distillery Division of the Demerged Company shall stand transferred to and vested in the Resulting Company.

This Scheme of Demerger would result, inter-alia, in the following synergies for both the Demerged Company and Resulting Company and thereby preserving and creating value for its shareholders, creditors and various other stakeholders:

  • Strategic Rationale for Establishing a Standalone Distillery Entity:

In light of the distinct operational characteristics of the Distillery Division, including seasonality, regulatory oversight, policies and subsidy framework, the establishment of an independent entity focusing exclusively on the Distillery Division will enable exploration of sector-specific opportunities, a sharper focus and enhance operational efficiency.

354

3&4) DETAILED OBJECTIVE & RATIONALE OF THE SCHEME

  • Strategic Flexibility and Risk Mitigation through Distillery Division Segregation:
    Segregating the Distillery Division will provide greater strategic flexibility to tailor approaches specific to its unique operational and market dynamics, enabling it to realize its full potential while effectively de-risking the businesses from one another.

  • Value Creation for Shareholders:
    Unlocking shareholders' value by enabling independent, market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through the listing of the equity shares of the Resulting Company on the Stock Exchanges on which shares of the Demerged Company are listed, pursuant to the Scheme, thereby offering shareholders the option and flexibility to continue their investment in a Distillery business-focused listed entity.

  • Driving Growth by Aligning Risk and Return Profiles
    The separation of businesses with distinct risk and return profiles will enable each independent entity to attract different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders, thereby enhancing focused capital raising, future expansion and new growth opportunities.

355

In summary, the proposed demerger aims to unlock shareholder value by enabling independent market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through separate listing, offering investors focused exposure to a distillery-centric entity. By separating businesses with distinct risk-return profiles, each entity can attract targeted investors, partners, and lenders, enhancing capital-raising capacity and growth prospects. The Resulting Company will benefit from sharper sectoral focus, optimized resource allocation, and a more agile management structure, strengthening competitive advantage. Greater transparency will improve performance visibility, brand positioning, and strategic clarity for both entities. This separation will also enable efficient resource channeling, attract the right talent, and create expanded growth opportunities for employees aligned to each entity's core business focus.

This comprehensive rationale as above underscores the strategic motivations, expected benefits, and the context surrounding the Proposed Demerger, highlighting its alignment with both the companies' objectives and the interests of their various stakeholders.

10&12) Minimum Public Shareholding and Detailed Rationale for Share Exchange Ratio

The present Scheme of Arrangement provides for the demerger of the Distillery Division (Demerged Undertaking) of the Demerged Company to be transferred to vested into the Resulting Company. The Demerged Company holds 100% equity shares of Resulting Company. Once the Proposed Scheme is implemented, all the shareholders of Demerged Company would also become shareholders of Resulting Company, and their shareholding in Resulting Company would mirror their shareholding in Demerged Company.

Since, post Demerger, there will be a replica Shareholding in the Resulting Company as that of the Demerger Company, therefore, the minimum public shareholding of the listed entity (Demerged Company) shall not be less than 25% on a fully diluted basis.

Further, considering the above explanation the share entitlement ratio “1 (One) fully paid up equity share of face value of INR 10/- (Rupee Ten) each of the Resulting Company for every 5 (Five) fully paid up equity share of face value of INR 2/- (Rupee Two) each held in the Demerged Company”, can be considered appropriate and fair for the Proposed Demerger.

368

11) Reclassification of Promoter and Promoter Group pursuant to the Scheme

Pursuant to the Scheme, there shall be no Reclassification of Promoter and Promoter Group.

  1. Since the shares of the Applicant Demerged Company are listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, in compliance with Regulation 37 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and the SEBI Master Circular dated 20 June 2023, the Demerged Company applied to the said stock exchanges for their no-objection to the proposed Scheme of Arrangement for Demerger. The Board of Directors designated NSE as the Designated Stock Exchange, and both exchanges subsequently issued observation letters, NSE on January 12, 2026 and BSE on January 13, 2026 confirming their no objection to the proposed Scheme. A copy of the Observation letters issued by BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited are attached as Annexure 18 with the Application.

  2. As submitted in para 13 of the Application, and as per the observation letters issued by the BSE and NSE as the Applicant Companies are filing this application after communication of comments/observations on draft Scheme by SEBI / Stock Exchanges, there is no requirement to send notice under section 230(5) of the Company to SEBI again for its comments/ observations/representations. The relevant excerpts of the observation letter by BSE are reproduced as under:

exchange. Hence, the company is not required to send notice for representation as mandated under section 230(5) of Companies Act, 2013 to SEBI again for its comments/observations/representations."

  1. The rationale and the benefits of the Scheme are, inter alia, as follows:

a. Both the above businesses have their own distinct business dynamics, regulatory environment, customer base and their needs. There is a clear distinction in the growth prospects and risk profile of the two business divisions.
b. Over the years, the Distillery Division has matured into a robust and independent business with substantial growth potential. Given the dynamic growth, the Distillery Division is now well positioned to pursue its own strategic and operational priorities as a separate entity.
c. The nature of risk, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods for the Distillery Division is separate and distinct from the Remaining Business (as defined under the Scheme) carried out by the Demerged Company. Further, the way the Distillery

Division is required to be handled and managed is not similar to that of the Remaining Business.

  1. The proposed demerger pursuant to this Scheme is expected, inter alia, to result in following benefits:

a. In light of the distinct operational characteristics of the Distillery Division, including seasonality, regulatory oversight, policies and subsidy framework, the establishment of an independent entity focusing exclusively on the Distillery Division will enable exploration of sector-specific opportunities, a sharper focus and enhance operational efficiency.

b. Segregating the Distillery Division will provide greater strategic flexibility to tailor approaches specific to its unique operational and market dynamics, enabling it to realize its full potential while effectively de-risking the businesses from one another.

c. Unlocking shareholders' value by enabling independent, market-driven valuation of the Distillery Division through the listing of the Equity Shares of the Resulting Company on the Stock Exchanges on which shares of the Demerged Company are listed, pursuant to the Scheme, thereby offering shareholders the option and flexibility to continue their investment in a Distillery business-focused listed entity.

d. The separation of businesses with distinct risk and return profiles will enable each independent entity to attract different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders, thereby enhancing focused capital raising, future expansion and new growth opportunities.

e. The Resulting Company will be better positioned to align its resources, talent, marketing strategies, and innovation initiatives around a singular sector, which will, in turn, strengthen its competitive advantage and enable the creation of a more agile and efficient management structure.

f. The Demerger will provide greater transparency in the performance of each entity, enabling a clearer focus on their respective growth trajectories. This will allow both entities to build their strong brand presence. Thus, this enhanced visibility will contribute to long-term stability and further strengthen the companies' future portfolios.

g. The demerger will help each of the entities to channelize resources required for all the businesses to focus on the growing businesses and attract the right talent and provide enhanced growth opportunities to existing talent in line with a sharper strategic focus on each business segment under separate entities.

It is stated that the Board of Directors of the Demerged Company and the Resulting Company in their respective meetings held on 07.08.2025 considered and unanimously approved the proposed Scheme of Arrangement subject to sanctioning of the same by this Tribunal.
