STL has been promoted by Late Shri Nanak Singh Wadhwa, Shri Inderjeet Singh Wadhwa and Smt. Neelam Wadhwa, in the year 1986. The Company is progressing well under the able leadership of Shri Inderjeet Singh Wadhwa, CMD of the Company, a recipient of Udyog Patra Award.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW PRODUCTION:
Seasons Textiles Limited (STL) is one of the Pioneer Company in India to manufacture furnishing fabrics in organized sector. At present the Company is engaged in manufacture of furnishing fabric, export and trading in furnishing fabric and made-ups. To ensure international quality standards the Company is using the latest technology. The Company’s philosophy is to provide a safe, healthy and eco-friendly atmosphere conducive to men and machines. To be competitive, both in export and domestic markets, continuous improvement in productivity and quality and creation of new designs have always been considered as the focus areas.
DESIGN:
The Company has In House Design Studio with a talented team of designers who ensure that innovative designs are created to attract the customers keeping in mind the latest trends and customers’ taste. The company is having a collection of more than 25,000 designs. During the year the Company has developed about 600 Designs in its own Design Studio for its customers. The Company has been regularly participating in international fairs and exhibitions which enable it to keep itself abreast with the latest global trends and to show case its designs and manufacturing strengths.
During the year, Company participated in international fairs & exhibitions at ‘ PROPOSTE ’ at COMO (Milan) Italy, ‘ MOOD ’ at Brussels – Belgium and ‘ HEIMTEXTIL at Frankfurt – Germany.
MARKETING AND EXPORTS:
Apart from Indian Market the Company has been exporting its products to USA, Europe, South Africa, Middle East.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:
The Textile Industry in India is one of the largest segments of the Indian economy. It provides direct employment to many million people. Indian home furnishings manufacturers and home furnishings exporters offers a spectacular range of bedspreads, furnishing fabrics, curtains, rugs, durries, carpets, cushion covers, table covers, linen, kitchen accessories, made-ups, bath linen, and other home furnishings accessories to the nation as well as to the world. With the increasing textile industry in the country, the furnishing fabric market will also continue to flourish. The home furnishing market is anticipated to witness huge demand with the booming real-estate projects like hotels, hospitals, commercial and big residential apartments.
The Interior Textiles segment of the home furnishings market includes household textiles viz. Carpets and rugs, bedding products, kitchen linen, bathroom furnishings, window treatments, hammocks, table linen, curtains, and upholstery fabrics. It is directly proportionate to the number of houses and the countries having largest number of houses namely India, China and USA, in that order, are the largest markets for home furnishings.
The global trade of Home textile is expected to grow in the coming years. The majority of home textiles are produced in Asia. Lower prices and high-volume products have contributed to the expansion of exports particularly from India and China.
OUTLOOK:
Indians have well understood the importance of staying one step ahead of developments in the world economic environment. The industry is now preparing itself to take share of opportunities expected to arise out of the market freed from quota restrictions and other trade barriers. Business collaborations with foreign players, creation of buying offices and Government’s effort to enhance quality production and export are many visible signs of Indians coming into force on the global market.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:
The local textile sector is now at a critical stage where it should prepare itself to rise and grab the opportunities that are available through liberalization of the international market. Manufacturers however, were caught in inadvertence as new players started to creep on the market at a time when most operators had attention on imminent opportunities
16
coming from a quota-free market. Strategies and policies were mainly targeted towards expansion and modernization leaving more space to domestic players. Now it obviously appears that the latter have had ample freedom to strengthen them and they are now more prepared than export-oriented companies.
Lack of competition is eroding enthusiasm. With the removal of quotas and similar trade barriers, observers expect the market to provide new opportunities. China’s impressive production capacity and its growing strength compelled Europe, USA and Indian markets to some serious reflections. Now, undoubtedly India has good cards to play. With traders realizing the threat of relying on a single manufacturing source such as China, India could do well in proposing a valuable alternative to buyers on the international scene, but this is only possible through an adequate and appropriate development strategy and macro-economic policy.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY:
The Company has adequate systems of internal control in place commensurate with its size and the nature of its operations. These have been designed to provide reasonable assurance with regard to recording and providing reliable financial and operational information, complying with applicable statutes, safeguarding assets from unauthorized use or losses, executing transactions, proper authorization and ensuring compliance of corporate policies.
The Company has engaged the services of an independent Chartered Accountant to carry out the internal audit and ensure that recording and reporting are adequate and proper, the internal controls exist in the system and that sufficient measures are taken to update the internal control system. The system also ensures that all transaction is appropriately authorized, recorded and reported. All these measures are continuously reviewed by the management and as and when necessary improvements are affected.
MATERIAL DEVELOMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES INDUSTRIAL RELATION FRONT, INCLUDING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED :
The employee strength of the Company is 119 people at its manufacturing plants and administrative office. The company recognizes the importance of human value and ensures that proper encouragement both moral and financial is extended to employees to motivate them.
The company enjoyed excellent relationship with workers and staff during the last year.
ISSUES AND RISKS:
1. Competition: As far as domestic market is concerned the unorganized sector in furnishing industry has always posed a challenge to the Company. However, the stringent quality control practices and in-depth knowledge of home furnishing industry puts the company a step ahead from its competitors.
2. Foreign Currency Risk.: As the Company’s sizeable turnover is contributed by exports and it deals in foreign currencies, any devaluation in INR as compared to
USD and EURO may affect its Receivables.
3. Management Risk.: The Company ensures a well-defined Risk Management Policy to identify major risks and their timely mitigation to protect the present and futures performance of the company. The risks are broadly classified as follows:
-
Market led business risk;
-
Financial risk;
-
Change of trends and designs;
-
Technology Obsolescence risk;
-
Safety, Health & Environment risk;
-
Regulatory issues impacting the industry.
The Company has sustained moderate growth in recent periods and plans for rapid growth in the future. This will place significant demand on its managerial and other resources. Continued growth in a competitive environment increased the challenges involved in recruiting and retaining skilled personnel. Failure to manage this vital resource effectively could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business prospects. The Company is constantly reviewing its HR practices and incentives to maintain its talent pool for keeping their performance at optimum levels. Any change in government policies with respect to exports may impact the working of the Company.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
Investors are cautioned that this discussion contains forward looking reasonable statements that involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, risks inherent in the Company’s growth strategy, government policies,
17
taxation laws, domestic as well as export market conditions, fluctuations in exchange rates, dependence on availability of qualified and trained manpower and other factors. The discussion and analysis must be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes on accounts.

We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of SEASONS TEXTILES LIMITED (“the company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. (collectively referred to as “Ind AS financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its loss including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 Ind AS financial statements.
Other Information
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Director’s Report, but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s Responsibility for the Ind AS Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act 2013 with respect to preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial position), profit or loss (financial performance including other 31 | P a g e
comprehensive income), cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed 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 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
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 Ind AS financial statements, whether
-
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
-
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls 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
32 | P a g e
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 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 Ind AS financial statements,
-
including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

ANNEXURE- B TO THE AUDITORS REPORT OF THE EVEN DATE ON THE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SEASONS TEXTILES LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH, 2023
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 Seasons Textiles Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March, 2023 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 onAuditing, 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 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.
39 | P a g e
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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the 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, 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, 2023, 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.

54 | P a g e
N. Impairment of Assets:
Intangible Assets and property, plant & equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) has no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Financial Assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair value through profit or loss.
Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.
O. Earning Per Share:
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company's EPS comprises of net profit after tax. The number of shares used in computing basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS, after adjusting for the effects of potential dilutive equity shares unless the effect of the potential dilutive share is anti-dilutive.
P. Fair Value Measurement:
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized 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 price in active markets for identical assetsor 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 lower level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is Unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis , Seasons Textiles Ltd. determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the
55 | P a g e
hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole ) at the end of each reporting period or each case.
For the purpose of fair value disclosure, Seasons Textiles Ltd. 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.
