The total requirement of 14,800 lakhs for the acquisition, will be met partially by the company's internal accrual 10,848 lakhs and balance out the proposed variation in the object.

The Company, in accordance with the policies established by the Board from time to time, will have flexibility to deploy the Net Proceeds for interim use. Pending utilization for the purposes described above, the Unutilised Amount will temporarily remain invested in fixed deposit with schedule commercial bank. The Company confirms that it shall not use the Net Proceeds for any investment in the equity markets.

3. Reason and justification for seeking variation

The Company has entered into agreement with the three job workers for manufacturing of Potato Chips located at Kolkata, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad post filling of the prospectus. These decentralized manufacturing facilities will help our company to respond the demand in faster way by optimizing the logistics cost and hence our company does not require to expand the potato chips manufacturing facility at Indore. Further as the expansion plan of potato chips facility at Indore is being dropped, the related building is also not required to be constructed.

Gujarat is one of the biggest salty snacks market in India therefore, this is one of the most important markets where our company would like to build a presence.

Avadh Snacks Private Limited has started manufacturing and selling of branded packaged snacks under brand name "Avadh" in 2010 and today has a well-diversified and strong product portfolio for namkeens like bhujia, chevda, fafda, gathiya, etc. and extruded pellets like wheels, cups, pasta, etc. with strong presence in the state of Gujarat and now expanding to Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

The product bouquet of our company and Avadh are complementary and will create a balanced portfolio with a mix of regional and national flavours & variants across categories. The acquisition will also lead to a significant synergy in distribution across Gujarat and neighbouring market. Hence the company proposes to use ` 3,952 lakhs for funding this acquisition.
