DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Members of Prima Agro Limited,

It is our privilege to present to you the 38[th] Annual Report for the Financial Year 2024- 25 on the business and operations of the Company together with the Audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025. This year has been marked by substantial achievements that will define the future of our company. Despite notable challenges, we have maintained our dedication to excellence and innovation in the Cattle Feed industry.

Global Economy

Global growth is projected at 3.0 percent for 2025 and 3.1 percent in 2026. The forecast for 2025 is 0.2 percentage point higher than that in the reference forecast of the April 2025 World Economic Outlook (WEO) and 0.1 percentage point higher for 2026. Trade tensions and tariffs remain central risks. President Trump’s new U.S. tariffs effective August 1, 2025, have temporarily paused, but if re-escalated could shave 0.3 pp of global output in 2026. Monetary policies in advanced economies are cautious: global rate cuts are decelerating. While the Fed holds steady, other central banks like ECB and Bank of Japan show diverging approaches. Inflation is easing globally but remains elevated in the U.S. Expectations are mixed as lingering tariff effects could sustain upward pressure. Global imbalances have widened: current account divergence among major economies could further disrupt trade and capital flows.

 India stands out as a growth bright spot—IMF projects 6.4% growth in 2025 , supported by strong domestic demand, services exports, and infrastructure investment.  The United States is expected to grow at ~1.5–1.9% in 2025, with inflation remaining stubbornly above target. Policy uncertainty and trade pressures pose key risks.  For China , growth is forecast to moderate to around 4.4–4.5% , reflecting demographic headwinds, property market weakness, and external trade frictions.

Out-look for the Indian Economy

India’s economy is poised for steady, high growth (~6½%), retaining its status as the world’s fastest-growing major economy. While tariff-related headwinds and market volatility create uncertainties, strong domestic demand, policy stimulus, and infrastructure spending offer solid counterbalance. Strategic reforms and trade diversification will be key to maintaining momentum.

As of August 2025, India's economy continues to maintain its position as the world's fastest-growing major economy. With projected GDP growth of 6.4% in both 2025 and 2026, India is supported by robust domestic demand, infrastructure investment, and policy reforms. Below is a detailed sectorwise analysis of the Indian economic landscape:

1. Manufacturing Sector

India’s Manufacturing PMI hit 59.1 in July 2025, a 16-month high, signaling strong output. Key drivers include PLI schemes, domestic capex, and defense manufacturing. However, challenges such as export vulnerability due to U.S. tariffs persist.

2. Services Sector

The services sector, including IT, tourism, fintech, and digital payments, is experiencing 6.5–7% growth. While domestic demand is strong, global outsourcing challenges and regulatory issues impact outlook.

3. Agriculture & Rural Economy

Agricultural output is benefiting from a normal monsoon, with projected growth of 3.5–4%. Challenges include weak rural demand and climate sensitivity, though government reforms and MSP revisions offer support.

4. Infrastructure & Construction

Infrastructure is expected to grow at 8–10%, driven by record public investment under Gati Shakti, Bharatmala, and the National Infrastructure Pipeline.

5. Energy & Green Transition

India’s clean energy transition is progressing rapidly, with over 200 GW installed capacity. Sectors like solar, green hydrogen, and EVs show double-digit growth despite financing and grid challenges.

6. Financial Sector

Credit growth (~14.7% YoY) and declining NPAs (4.5%) suggest resilience. RBI policy remains cautious, while fintech and retail investment continue to expand.

7. Real Estate

Real estate, especially in metros, is booming with luxury housing and REITs growing. Affordable housing faces structural challenges. Sector outlook is positive with 5.5–6.5% growth.

STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK.

The Prima Group of Companies has been built on a strong foundation of trust, nurtured over the past three decades through our unwavering commitment to all stakeholders. The financial year 2024–25 is a testament to our resilience and ability to create enduring value, even amidst challenges.

During the year, Prima Agro Limited witnessed a marginal decline in sales, reflecting prevailing market dynamics. The total turnover of the Company stood at Rs. 101.09 million for the financial year 2024–25, as compared to Rs.124.79 million in the previous year. Despite the dip in revenue, the Company continues to focus on operational efficiency, strategic collaborations, and value creation for stakeholders.

Animal Feed Division – Prima Agro Limited

The Animal Feed Division of Prima Agro Limited plays a vital role in the Group’s backward integration strategy. A significant portion of the de-oiled cake produced at our group facility is utilized in our Animal Feed Unit through job contract manufacturing.

Our plant produces hygienically prepared and packed pellet-form cattle feed using modern technology and skilled processes. The facility is equipped with a fully automated, computerized control system, enabling the production of a diverse range of animal feeds.

Through continuous innovation, recipe optimization, and the use of scientifically balanced ingredients, we have consistently met the nutritional and energy needs of livestock — including cattle, poultry, and goats. As a result, we have earned a reputation for delivering premium-quality feeds to the domestic market.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Prima Agro Limited is well-positioned for sustainable growth, with a clear vision to deliver exceptional value to its customers. With supportive government policies fostering entrepreneurship, job creation, and economic revitalization, the Company remains confident in its growth trajectory.

As a socially responsible corporate citizen, Prima Agro Limited is committed to contributing meaningfully to the national economy. Our mission aligns with the broader goal of inclusive growth, aiming to generate lasting economic value, promote employment, and support the development agenda of the nation

The financial year 2024-25 was marked by significant macroeconomic and operational challenges, resulting in a net loss of ₹4.52 Millions compared to profit of ₹7.19 Millions during the previous year. This was largely due to elevated input costs, subdued demand in key markets, and strategic investments in marketing and new product lines. The management has already initiated a comprehensive turnaround strategy focused on cost optimization, digital transformation, and margin enhancement. We remain optimistic that these actions will position the Company for sustainable growth in the coming financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS PRIMA AGRO LTD KOCHI

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statement

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone financial statements of PRIMA AGRO LTD (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (here in after referred to as “the Standalone Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with 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, the loss 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 Standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s 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 Standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of matter paragraph

We draw your attention to Note-13 & Note-14 of the financial statements, which states that total outstanding dues of micro, small and medium enterprises and total outstanding dues of payables other than micro, small and medium enterprises are not separately disclosed since no intimations has been received from the vendors in this regard
We draw your attention to Note-12 and Note-20 of financial statements and “Key accounting judgments, Estimates and assumptions” in Significant accounting policies & Notes forming part of accounts, which states that computation as per Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits” has not been applied for accounting for gratuity and Ex-gratia. However, the provision for gratuity has been made and accounted for the year on the basis of the service tenure of the employees and the provision for ex-gratia has been accounted for the year as per the company’s own computation.
We draw your attention to Note-11(b) of financial statements and Note-24(2.3) (e) in Significant accounting policies & Notes forming part of accounts, which states that the preference shares are not measured at amortized cost as required by Ind AS 109 and outstanding financial liability with respect to cumulative preference dividend is not recognized in the financial statements. Further the company has not accounted for the preference dividend payable for the year. The financial impact of the same has not been quantified.
We refer attention to Note no. 4, the Company has incurred business promotion expenses during the year, which are expected to yield economic benefits in the future periods. Accordingly, these expenses have been classified as deferred revenue expenditure and are being amortized over a period of five years.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information

The Companies Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other Information comprises the information included in the company’s annual report, but does not include the Standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safe guarding 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 Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone financial statements, 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 responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone financial statements.

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

We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal 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.
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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions 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 Standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

ANNEXURE “B” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirement’ section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Prima Agro Limited as on March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone 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 control based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria 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. 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 respective 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.

Auditor’s 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”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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 Ind AS 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 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 disposal of the company’s assets that could have 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, 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 system over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS PRIMA AGRO LTD KOCHI

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statement

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated financial statements of PRIMA AGRO LTD (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (here in after 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 state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, the loss 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 Consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s 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.

Emphasis of matter paragraph

We draw your attention to Note-13 & Note-14 of the financial statements, which states that total outstanding dues of micro, small and medium enterprises and total outstanding dues of payables other than micro, small and medium enterprises are not separately disclosed since no intimations has been received from the vendors in this regard
We draw your attention to Note-12 and Note-20 of financial statements and “Key accounting judgments, Estimates and assumptions” in Significant accounting policies & Notes forming part of accounts, which states that computation as per Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits” has not been applied for accounting for gratuity and Ex-gratia. However, the provision for gratuity has been made and accounted for the year on the basis of the service tenure of the employees and the provision for ex-gratia has been accounted for the year as per the company’s own computation.
We draw your attention to Note-11(b) of financial statements and Note-24(2.3) (e) in Significant accounting policies & Notes forming part of accounts, which states that the preference shares are not measured at amortized cost as required by Ind AS 109 and outstanding financial liability with respect to cumulative preference dividend is not recognized in the financial statements. Further the company has not accounted for the preference dividend payable for the year. The financial impact of the same has not been quantified.
We refer attention to Note no. 4, the Company has incurred business promotion expenses during the year, which are expected to yield economic benefits in the future periods. Accordingly, these expenses have been classified as deferred revenue expenditure and are being amortized over a period of five years.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

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 opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information

The Companies Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other Information comprises the information included in the company’s annual report, but does not include the Consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

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 financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safe guarding 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 Consolidated financial statements 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, 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 responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 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 conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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.

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or

regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (“the Order”) issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 143(11) 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.

The preparation of the financial statements required the management to exercise judgment and to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future period. The areas involving critical estimates or judgments are:

2.1.1 Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is based on management estimates of the future useful lives of certain class of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Estimates may change due to technological developments, competition, changes in market conditions and other factors and may result in changes in the estimated useful life and in the depreciation and amortization charges.

2.1.2 Employee Benefits

The scheme of Gratuity covers gratuity liability of the employees including past services. The annual premium has been charged to Profit and Loss Account on accrual basis as per Company’s own computation. The computation as per paragraph 50 of Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits” has not been applied for accounting for gratuity.

2.1.3 Provisions & Contingencies

ii. Depreciation: Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of other items of Property, Plant and Equipment are provided on a written down value basis over the estimated useful life of the asset or as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

b. Biological Asset

Biological Asset includes livestock which is recognized at fair value less cost to sell as per provisions of Ind AS 41 “Agriculture”.

c. Financial Assets

i. Financial assets at amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost.
They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. Financial assets at amortized cost are represented by trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, employee advances and other advances.
The Company has fixed deposits held under a bank guarantee of Rs. 13,98,664.00 having renewal period less than 6 months. Since the management do not intend it to be realized within 12 months from the Balance Sheet date owing to recurring nature of bank Equity investments - Investment in associates are stated at cost.
ii. Financials assets at fair value through OCI-Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - A financial asset not classified as either amortized cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss. These include funds invested in mutual funds.
iv. Impairment of Financial Assets - The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

d. Financial Liabilities

i. Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortized cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
ii. Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii. De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in Statement of profit and loss.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

j. Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipt or payments and item of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash-flows. The cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company is segregated.

k. Revenue Recognition

b. Biological Asset

119

c. Financial Assets

i. Financial assets at amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost.

They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. Financial assets at amortized cost are represented by trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, employee advances and other advances.

The Company has fixed deposits held under a bank guarantee of Rs. 13,98,664.00 having renewal period less than 6 months. Since the management do not intend it to be realized within 12 months from the Balance Sheet date owing to recurring nature of bank Equity investments - Investment in associates are stated at cost.

ii. Financials assets at fair value through OCI-Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - A financial asset not classified as either amortized cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss. These include funds invested in mutual funds.
iv. Impairment of Financial Assets - The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

d. Financial Liabilities

i. Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortized cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
ii. Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iii. De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in Statement of profit and loss.
