About the Company

Largest premium brandy manufacturer in India with presence across all segments of IMFL

* All data is for FY21

The year gone by can best be described as a year of uncertainties driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant restrictions in the form of lockdowns. But along with the uncertainties in overall business environment, came the resiliency that the Company has showcased, leading to multiple positives; reaching one-time settlements with all lenders, debt reduction, margin expansion and maintaining market leadership in the premium brandy segment with its flagship brand, Mansion House Brandy.

The Company strengthened its focus and built optimism through several strategic endeavours like enhancing focus on brandy sales and increasing the reach through expanding to newer territories post satisfactory analysis of the demand of the regions. Besides, the Company is also working towards launching new, innovative product offerings to further enhance its presence and capture a larger audience. In doing so, the Company is progressing well on its track to create stakeholder value for the long-term.

Improving Business Fundamentals

Premiumisation strategy to enhance margins and cash flows

Business Strategic Roadmap

*Debt adjusted for EARC balance debt of Rs. 145 crs which would be waived off in FY24 on following the repayment schedule

*Debt adjusted for EARC balance debt of Rs. 34 crs which has been converted to equity in Apr-21

Our strategy to reduce debt

The resilient performance and operational progress achieved in FY21, despite the challenging circumstances, highlighted the strengths of the business, the brand and the commitment of our teams.

Dear Stakeholders,

"It always seems impossible until it is done." – Nelson Mandela

I write this message at a time when India is still very much in the middle of the 2nd wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and with constant speculation of an impending 3rd wave. We do not know how and what shape and form this pandemic will take over the course of the next 12-18 months, but what we do know is the resilience and perseverance that we at Tilaknagar Industries are capable of. While the first wave very much shook our way of operating with bottling operations completely suspended for a little over a month and the after-effects felt for still a few more months after, we were better prepared during the second wave. And for that I have my fellow colleagues to thank; for showing a tremendous zeal to keep going and fighting against adversity. And while one eye was on stabilising our business, the other was on looking after the well-being of our stakeholders i.e. our employees, our suppliers and our customers.

Our HR Team took various steps to ensure our employees remained safe during the pandemic and also to ensure minimum productivity loss during this period by following complete safety protocols and also prescribed goverment guidelines.

Business recovery:

The year started on the back of a comprehensive restructuring agreement with Edelweiss ARC. There were huge disruptions on account of the restrictions imposed due to onset of the COVID 19 pandemic which did affect sales in the early part of the year. States like Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry imposed heavy COVID tax which acutely impacted demand. However, with the gradual removal of restrictions we did see a strong rebound in the second half of the year. Despite a significant impact on operations during the beginning of FY21, we were able to smartly recover in the 2nd half of the year. This recovery was higher than the industry average and in line with our peers growth, demonstrating the underlying, fundamental strength of our brands and customer loyalty.

Your Company has emerged as a leading player in the brandy segment which is the second largest category after whisky. The brands Mansion House and Courrier Napoleon have grown and your Company wants to continuously invest behind these brands.

In addition, our focus on margin expansion and cash-flow generation remained intact, with EBITDA margins at 10% and improvement in net working capital days from 36 days for FY20 to 33 days for FY21. Margins were positively impacted on account of a combination of price increase received in few states along with stringent cost control including value engineering and reduction in overheads. The restructuring of the debt which was completed during FY20 has also continually helped to improve the cash-flows of the Company.

The Company signed a long term manufacturing agreement with French multinational Pernod Ricard India private limited to manufacture their products at our Shrirampur facility. The agreement is valid for ten years and the production is expected to commence in September 2021.

You will be pleased to know that after several quarters TI has shown profits in the first quarter of FY 22.

Focus on premium brandy:

As a part of our strategy, we continued focussing on selling premium brands where the margins are robust. In addition, we re-channelised our focus towards brandy sales. We leveraged our brand's brand strength of rich aroma, taste and quality combined with their already existing huge and loyal consumer base. We decided to promote brandy as a social drink and focused to popularize this category amongst younger audience and make it an aspirational and a mainstream drink. In addition, we are also looking at introducing new products within the brandy space, which we expect would have a significant positive impact on the growth of the Company.

World Brandy Day:

Being the largest premium brandy manufacturer in India, we believe the onus and responsibility is on us to create a more aspirational positioning for brandy within the IMFL space. With that in mind, we have decided to launch World Brandy Day which would be celebrated every year on the second Friday of December. I am very excited to be taking a lead in this and will share more details with you all at the opportune moment.

Marketing & Distribution:

The pandemic enhanced our emphasis on Social Media marketing and promotions with strategies to broaden the target audiences, creating increased brand awareness and change their perception about the brands by explicit targeting. We are further planning to strengthen our distribution network by entering new fast growing markets within India.

Way ahead:

The alcobev industry, while having faced significant short-term challenges, looks ripe for disruption owing to rising disposable income, growing young population with aspirational needs and a much more inclusive drinking culture. Within the brandy space, we are seeing an increasing trend of youngsters taking up brandy as a drink of choice; and we believe this will only grow further with new product offerings within the brandy space, which we will play a pivotal role in.

I would once again like to thank all our shareholders for your continued support.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GLOBAL ECONOMY OVERVIEW

From healthcare to economy to politics, the global Covid-19 pandemic remained the lead story of Calendar Year (CY) 2020 for every sector. The widely accepted method to mitigate the virus spread was to limit human movement, which led to the shutdown of the entire world economy at different times at various places during the Current Year. Therefore, contact-intensive industries such as restaurants, hospitality, entertainment and discretionary business took a major hit. Small and medium-sized businesses were particularly impacted, as their working capital came under severe strain. This led to dip in corporates' business revenue and profits, leading to layoffs or furloughing of employees. As a result we saw dramatic economic contractions across the world in the first half of CY 2020. Later, many countries began to ease the restrictions and we saw a rebound in the third-quarter GDP growth across the world. Globally, equities, too, were buoyed by the central banks' accommodative monetary policy and Governments' liquidity measures in the face of the pandemic. Then, the successful development and roll out of multiple vaccines by the year end brought back consumer confidence and demand, giving economy the much-needed shot in the arm.

OUTLOOK

Aggressive rollout of vaccinations brings in a positive recovery hope for all major economies in CY 2021. However, the mutating virus remains a concern for the economic growth. Taking these into consideration, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected a growth of 6% in 2021.

INDIAN ECONOMY OVERVIEW

The Indian economy was losing growth momentum prior to the pandemic. The GDP growth performance in Financial Year (FY) 2020-21 should be seen in relation to the 68-day long and strict lockdown imposed on March 25, 2020, to prevent the spread of Covid-19 infections in India. The consequences were reflected in the Indian economy contracting ~24% to posting a 0.4% growth in the third quarter of the financial year. The pandemic impacted each sector differently. The industries and businesses managed to kickstart the economy, aided by Government support. Agriculture was the least affected by the pandemic, whereas manufacturing and service sectors were severely impacted. To overcome lost incomes during the lockdown, the Government increased the taxes on petrol and diesel, which surged the prices of most commodities and services. Consequently, companies also increased prices of the finished products, owing to spike in input cost. This resulted in increased inflation. Regardless of the setbacks, there were a few green shoots such as improvement in GST collection, power demand, increasing forex, improving global sentiments and secondary market performance.

OUTLOOK

India's recovery is still at a nascent stage. Citizens will take time dealing with higher inflationary pressure at the moment. Factors that would add to speedier recovery, include a strong infrastructure expansion program led by sharp expansion of the Center's capital expenditure, along with an accelerated introduction of the Covid-19 vaccine in India.

GLOBAL SPIRITS MARKET

The global spirits market is segmented into various alcoholic products comprising vodka, gin, tequila, rum, whisky, brandy, cane, natural spirits and flavored spirits. The companies in the distilleries industry process raw materials into potable liquors, ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol and spirits, package and distribute them through several distribution channels to both individual customers and commercial establishments. Region wise, Asia-Pacific is expected to maintain its strong position in the global spirits market because of the increase in domestic consumption. Though China leads the Asia-Pacific spirits market, India is expected to grow the fastest in the global spirits' market.

The global spirits market is expected to grow from USD 143.31 billion in CY 2020 to USD 150.87 billion in CY 2021 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. On the other hand, the global alcoholic beverage market is expected to grow from USD 499.74 billion in 2020 to USD 546.15 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 9.3%. This growth will be on the back of companies resuming their operations and recovering from the Covid-19 impact. The effect of the virus had previously caused various operational challenges owing to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities.

OUTLOOK

In the longer run, the macro factor that will be driving the market are trade policies, ready-to-drink (RTD) alcohol category, premiumisation, in-house consumption, among others. Micro factors that will drive the market will consist of global young‐adult demography, surge in disposable income, innovative and attractive ads.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Contd.)

INDIAN LIQUOR INDUSTRY

The alcohol beverage market in India comprises country liquor, Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), beer and wine. According to London-based research firm IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, India is the world's ninth-largest consumer of all alcohols by volume and second largest consumer of spirit. Alcohol consumption has become a part of social interactions among different age groups in India. Region wise, five southern states - Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala – account for 60% of the liquor sold in India. The other top consuming states are – Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Maharashtra.

During the initial stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, the overall market faced a huge setback. However, the first couple of weeks of the unlock 1.0 were positive for the industry as consumers rushed, queued, and stocked up on liquor. One of the key transitions witnessed during the fiscal was the rise of liquor home delivery, as bars or lounges remained open on and off.

OUTLOOK

Going forward, consumers will choose the most trusted and well-known brands in these uncertain times. Therefore, high demand for expensive liquor looks quite optimistic in the near future. Further, liquor companies' sustainability and growth will depend on their ability to control operational costs, robust distribution set up, new product offerings, and state excise department regulations and policies.

OPPORTUNITIES

New Product Launches

Alcohol companies can keep customers engaged by actively changing bottle packaging and introducing different flavours as per customer choices. By using recyclable and reusable products for manufacturing, the Company can further optimise operational cost and attract funds from environmentally conscious shareholders.

Stressed Life

Continuous work pressure, imbalanced life and the pandemic have led to a stressful life for the working class. To reduce anxiety and stress, drinking appropriate quantity of liquor is considered as one of the preferred options and this can increase their demand. Stressful life is becoming quite common in cities, therefore, liquor companies can capitalise on the opportunities by strengthening distribution in these regions.

Online Alcohol Sales

The consistent growth of alcohol delivery services is playing a vital role in the growth of online alcohol delivery. After the Covid-19 outbreak, people have started to drink more at home. If this habit continues post pandemic, it will open the door of opportunities for alcohol companies to look and tie up with wine shops that smoothly deliver liquor at home.

Post Pandemic Parties

Fall in Covid-19 cases and vaccination across the regions will lead to more social interactions resulting in celebrations and parties. This will open the doors for millennials to conduct social gatherings and delighting themselves by drinking and tasting wide variety of liquors. Liquor companies with large product portfolio are well positioned to capitalise on this situation.

Socially Acceptable Environment

There has been a huge change in the attitude and lifestyle of people, making alcohol consumption more socially acceptable. This acceptability extends to family environments and social events. During such occasions, mostly premium liquors are preferred. Companies either launching or pushing premium liquor would benefit from this changing behaviour. ***

THREATS

Increasing Covid-19 Cases

Mutated virus is becoming a major concern for the economy. States opting for partial lockdown and night curfew at different period can hamper the alcoholic beverages sale.

Alcohol Ban

Alcohol sale and consumption is banned in Bihar, Gujarat, Tripura, Lakshadweep, Mizoram, and Nagaland. Further ban in any of the Indian states can decrease the opportunity present in the market.

Rising Taxes

Liquor contributes a considerable amount to the exchequers of all states and Union Territories. It is thus quite clear that Governments consider it as an important source of income. Any downfall in state and national income gives the Government chance to increase registration charges, Value

Added Tax (VAT), duties and special fees on liquor. This can increase the liquor pricing, making it unaffordable for many, who would then like to shift to economical brands.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Tilaknagar Industries Limited (TI) was founded in the year 1933 by Shri Mahadev L. Dahanukar as Maharashtra Sugar Mills. It entered into the distillery division in the 1970s and became one of the popular alcohol brands in India. Being in this industry for over 70 years, gives the Company a huge edge in terms of understanding the market. Today, the Company has 1 owned facility, 3 operating liquor subsidiaries, 3 leased and 9 tie-up units, strategically located across India. It also has 100 KLPD molasses-based and 100 KLPD grain-based distillation plants and IMFL bottling plant at Shrirampur (Maharashtra).

It has a diversified brand portfolio in various liquor categories, including brandy, whiskey, vodka, gin and rum. Further, it reaches out to customers through robust distributor network, which strategically criss-crosses the country. TI's primary market is the southern and western parts of India, as it accounts for around 90% of TI's revenue. Besides, high-quality product offerings has allowed the Company to go beyond the Indian borders to export its products to regions such as East and South-East Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

WHAT SETS US APART

Product offerings

TI has a comprehensive product portfolio across various categories, geographies, and price points, catering to different types of customers. The Company has 15+ brands across various segments. This diverse product portfolio keeps on creating new revenue potentials.

Worldwide presence

TI has elevated its branding and credibility to export its product globally to countries such as Kenya, Bahrain, D.R.Cango, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, UAE and many others. This gives it access to a much larger customer base and untapped regions within the different countries.

Manufacturing facility

TI through its owned, leased, subsidiaries and tie-up units, manufactures premium quality products. It keeps on modernizing its existing facilities to improve the process and continuously adds value to the product portfolio.

Brand portfolio

TI caters to different tastes and preferences of individuals. However, the Company's focus towards premium-and highmargin brands offer great growth potential. Following are the brand portfolio the Company focuses on:

Brandy

TI is one of the significant players in the segment, which generates around 89% of its total revenue. TI's constant emphasis on premiumization has led to birth of the following successful brands:

  • Mansion House Brandy: It is quite popular as it is among the largest selling brandies in the world. Mansion House Brandy has significantly matured and evolved over the years. With this brand, the Company has perfectly positioned itself in the high-marginpremium category.
  • Courrier Napoleon Brandy Green: It continues to create a niche for itself in the premium space and remains brand leader in its segment.
  • Courrier Napoleon Brandy Red: It is among the most profitable brands in the TI portfolio.

Whiskey

TI generates third highest revenue from this segment. The Company has come a long way in this segment by transforming itself from being a regular whiskey player to a premium one. With the impeccable and exclusive quality blend, the Company's whiskey brands viz. Mansion House Whiskey and Senate Royale Whiskey bring the best-in-class experience for connoisseurs. Distinct aroma with rich and smooth flavour of this whiskey has led to growing popularity and high brand recall value.

Rum

TI sells its rum under the brand name Madiraa. It is one of the popular brands in India that offers an assortment of exciting flavours to consumers who prefer a niche in rum.

VODKA AND GIN

TI's share of revenue from Vodka and Gin is quite minimal in its overall brand portfolio. Efficient marketing and distribution channels consistently reach out to the newer markets to enhance the business share from this segment.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Contd.)

Management Discussion and Analysis (Contd.)

MARKETING AND BRANDING

Social Media Marketing

Due to the pandemic, more emphasis has been given to the Social Media Marketing promotions. There was an active and increased presence across all social media platforms with strategies to broaden the target audiences (by geographically, age group, interest, etc.), create increased brand awareness and change their perception about the brand.

Brand Building

Our Brands' brand strength lies in the fact that they are known for their rich aroma, taste & quality combined with their existing huge and loyal consumer base and the immense popularity in the regions of operations. During the year, the Company continued to focus in promoting its brands. This year, special emphasis was given to increase the sales of our brandy brands. Going ahead, campaigns through social media will be planned to attract whisky drinkers and convert them into brandy drinkers.

Brand Launch in Telangana State

We launched Courrier Napoleon Brandy Green, one of our premium brands, in Telangana in December 2020. The brand swiftly gained the market share and become a leading player in its segment within a month's time. With increasing consumer base and unparalleled appreciation for the brand, Courrier Napoleon Brandy Green has now become the preferred brand amongst premium brandy drinkers.

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

TI has affiliated themself with geographically exclusive distributors, who oversee the sales execution. It has extensive operations and sells through State Corporations across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, West Bengal and Odisha. It also operates through a distributor channel in Maharashtra, Goa, Silvassa, Assam, Sikkim and Puducherry. The Company is also one of the dominant names in the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) marketplace. The Company further looks to diversify its presence by increasing the distribution network and entering the unexplored territory in the Eastern region of the country which is believed to have huge potential and will help in increasing the popularity, presence and sales of our brands geographically as well.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS

  • During the year under review an agreement between the Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. (TI) & Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) has been entered under which SCB Loan to Prag Distilleries P. Ltd (Prag) would be settled.
  • During the year under review, the Company promoted the brands of Brandy amongst younger audience to make it an aspirational and a mainstream drink. We being the major stakeholders and pioneers in the brandy category, any gain in volume of the category will hugely be reciprocated to our brands.

WORLD BRANDY DAY, A GLOBAL CELEBRATION TO SAVOUR THE 'SPIRIT' OF BRANDY LAUNCHED BY OUR CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR, SHRI AMIT DAHANUKAR WILL BE CELEBRATED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME ON FRIDAY 10TH DECEMBER 2021 THIS YEAR AND THEREAFTER EVERY YEAR ON THE SECOND FRIDAY OF DECEMBER. WORLD BRANDY DAY IS THE FIRST FESTIVAL TO PROMOTE AND POPULARISE ENTIRE BRANDY CATEGORY AND TO BRING IT TO THE MAINSTREAM.

RISK MANAGEMENT

There are various risks that could have a negative impact on the achievements of TI strategies and future prospects. Below are those risks and existing mitigation measures against them:

Risk Impact Mitigation Impact level
Covid-19 Risk Different waves of Covid-19
pandemic can result in plant
closures (full or partial).
TI ensures strict compliance with the guidelines laid
down with relation to social distancing, mandatory
use of facemasks, proper sanitization facilities and
operating with reduced workforce. The same is
being strictly followed in all the manufacturing units,
corporate and other administrative offices that have
commenced operations. Besides, we have ensured
the vaccinations of our employees across all units in
order to reduce the chances of infection.
High
Competition
Risk
There are many domestic and
international players in the
industry. This increases the
probability of pricing war among
them.
TI differentiates itself through innovative branding
and marketing, unique product offerings and strong
distribution network. This leads to brand recall and
product availability at different touchpoints resulting
in customer satisfaction and retention.
Medium
Changing Law &
Regularity Risk
The Government regulates
the Indian alcoholic beverage
market. Alcohol prices also
may vary according to state tax
regime. This can slow down the
sales and demand in specific
regions.
The Company is present in domestic as well as
global markets. Hence, it reduces their dependency
on individual states or country for income. However,
within India, larger percentage of revenue comes
from Southern India. To overcome this problem,
the Company has extended its focus on other
geographies viz. eastern and western region.
Medium
Material Risk Unavailability of material and
increase in their prices can
impact the operating margin.
The Company is affiliated with multiple vendors,
giving them a chance to negotiate material prices. It
also maintains healthy relationship with all of them
to overcome any material supply constraint.
Low

HUMAN RESOURCES

TI believes that its core strength lies in its dedicated and motivated employees.

TI's HR Philosophy:

To be identified as an employer of choice by prospective candidates

  • To develop a culture based on open communication, trust, fairness and one that promotes equality

We had announced WFH for corporate office employees and even as we opened our corporate office, we introduced staggered shift timings and attendance timetable for HO to make sure the headcount was well within the prescribed limits of the Government. Sanitisation of the office and factory premise was done on regular intervals.

Training provided for hosting virtual meetings

As we moved to a virtual work setup (especially in HO), training was provided to all the managers across the country to operate virtual meeting applications like Zoom and Google Meet to ensure we have seamless meetings/collaboration while we work remotely.

CMD Hour Initiative

"CMD hour" initiative was introduced in December 2020 to enable employees to come forward and express their ideas, thoughts, and concerns regarding the business directly with our respected Chairman, Mr. Amit Dahanukar. The employees would seek a prior appointment with the Chairman to share:

  • Idea/s which may help in better revenue generation for the business
  • Strategies which may help in saving costs for the Company
  • Concerns regarding malpractices/fraud within the Company
  • Other suggestions for improvement which can benefit TI at large

TI's strong data-driven platform, derived from renowned and trusted software and hardware platforms, is the key towards seamless business operations. During the year the Company has upgraded the internet bandwidth which has helped in increase of speed, greater reliability, stronger signal, quicker access to Cloud and saving in the cost.

The Company is in the process of implementing a backup on cloud for all the end points & servers. This initiative will result in ensuring benefits to the Company by reducing the business downtime and ensuring unified data protection.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

TI has robust internal financial reporting and control system designed to ensure proper recording of financial and operational information, compliance of various internal controls and other regulatory compliances. Internal and Statutory Auditors evaluate the system of internal controls frequently, thus, mitigating/avoiding fraud or any other discrepancies in the daily operational activities.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) vide its notification dated May 05, 2021 has amended the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 which mandates top 1000 listed entities based on market capitalisation as at the end of the immediate previous financial year, to constitute a Risk Management Committee comprising of majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company with effect from May 05, 2021.

The key business risks, which in the opinion of the Board may threaten the existence of the Company, along with mitigation strategies adopted by the Company are enumerated herein below:

i. Regulatory Risk

The IMFL industry is a high-risk industry, primarily on account of high taxes and innumerable regulations governing it. As a result, liquor companies suffer from low pricing flexibility and have underutilised capacities, which, in turn, may

lead to low margins. To mitigate this risk, the Company complies with all the applicable rules and regulations in all the States where it is present.

ii. Strategic Risk

The Company's strategy and its execution is dependent on uncertainties and untapped opportunities. To mitigate this risk, the Company has adopted resilient policies which not only allow the Company to maximise opportunities under normal conditions but also ensure that acceptable results are achieved under extraordinary adverse conditions.

iii. Concentration Risk

A large percentage of the Company's turnover is derived from South India, where any unfavourable regulatory policy may impact its business. Also, the major portion of revenue of the Company is derived from Brandy sales, exposing the Company to category vulnerability. To mitigate this risk, the Company has extended its focus on other geographies viz. Eastern Region, etc. and product categories viz. Whisky, Vodka, etc.

(i) Steps taken or impact on conservation of energy:

The Company acknowledges the importance of conserving energy and accords high priority to the same in its operations. In order to conserve energy, following steps have been taken by the Company:

  • a) Circuit breakers are installed in each of the major machinery/equipment to reduce the idle run of machinery. Routine maintenance of capacitor bank has been increased to maintain the power factor of 0.99 which results in energy credits in the electrical bills;
  • b) Gravity Liquor Flow systems are installed in all the process areas for lesser consumption of energy; and
  • c) Environment friendly Turbo Vents for natural ventilation and transparent Poly Coat sheets for natural lighting are installed on the roof of the new Bottling Hall.

(ii) Steps taken by the Company for utilising alternate sources of energy:

Rising energy prices and concerns about long term sustainability have once again brought alternate energy sources to the forefront. As a part of its commitment towards the environment and to reduce its dependence on coal, a polluting and non-renewable source of energy, the Company has been utilising biogas generated by it, mainly, for steam generation in boiler.

A statement of biogas generated, consumed and the resultant saving of coal during the financial year 2020-21 as compared to financial year 2019-20 is given herein below:

ANNEXURE 'H' TO THE DIRECTORS' REPORT

[Pursuant to Section 134(3)(f) of the Companies Act, 2013]

With reference to the Statutory Auditors' Observations, Qualifications and Adverse Remarks in their Audit Reports on the standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2021, the Board of Directors provides its explanations / comments as under:

i. Auditors' observations under paragraph a of 'Basis for Qualified Opinion' of the Auditors' Report to the standalone and consolidated financial statements:

The Company has not carried out impairment assessment of one of the ENA plants as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 36) 'Impairment of Assets' though there is an indication of impairment. Reference is invited to Note No. 44 of the standalone annual financial statements.

Same observations have been given with respect to Note No. 45 of the consolidated financial statements.

Board's response: The Company had applied to the State government authorities for dual feed permission for manufacture of ENA through molasses as well as grain at one of its ENA Plants. Permission has been received for operating the fermentation section till September 02, 2021. Subsequently, till the date of this Report, the permission has been received for operating the fermentation section till March 03, 2022. It is expected that permission for operating the distillation section also will be received soon. In view of this, the management believes that there is no impairment in value of its ENA Plant and hence the recoverable amount of the ENA Plant is not required to be estimated.

ii. Auditors' observations under paragraph b of 'Basis for Qualified Opinion' of the Auditors' Report to the standalone and consolidated financial statements:

The Company has not recognised provision for impairment of long overdue advances given to certain parties amounting to ` 6,074.08 lacs as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 109) 'Financial Instruments'. Reference is invited to Note No. 45 of the standalone annual financial statements.

Same observations have been given with respect to Note No. 46 of the consolidated financial statements.

Board's response: In lieu of advances given to certain body corporates amounting to ` 6,074.08 lacs, the Company had received land from their holding Company. The land received has been registered in the name of the Company. The advances have not been adjusted against the dues to the said holding Company pending completion of the merger formalities of the said body corporates with their holding Company. In view of this, the management believes that no provision is considered necessary in the books of accounts.

iii. Auditors' observations under paragraph c of 'Basis for Qualified Opinion' of the Auditors' Report to the standalone financial statements:

The National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") has ordered for liquidation of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd ("Prag") wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, vide its order No. MA 309/2018 in CP1067/ 2017 dated July 26, 2018. However, the Company has not made impairment provision for equity investment of ` 1,543.35 lacs in Prag as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 36) 'Impairment of assets'. Reference is invited to Note No. 49 of the standalone annual financial statements.

Board's response: The National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") has ordered for liquidation of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd. ("Prag"), wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, vide its order No. MA 309/2018 in CP1067/ 2017 dated July 26, 2018, as a going concern. A liquidator has been appointed to manage the affairs of Prag and complete the liquidation process. The Company has submitted a formal proposal to the two financial lenders for full and final settlement of all their claims. The settlement agreement with Standard Chartered Bank, one of the financial lender has been entered and a sum of USD 11,00,000/- has been paid to them. The agreement with DCB bank is yet to be entered. The impairment, if any, of the equity investment in Prag will be considered on completion of the liquidation process/ final settlement as the case may be.

iv. Auditors' observations under paragraph c of 'Basis for Qualified Opinion' of the Auditors' Report to the consolidated financial statements:

The following paragraph in respect of Basis for Qualified Opinion was included in the audit report dated May 28, 2021 issued on the Financial Statements of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd. ("Prag"), a subsidiary Company of the Holding Company issued by an Independent Firm of Chartered Accountants, is reproduced as under:

  • We draw attention to Note No. 36 of the financial statements which states that the Company has incurred capital expenditure of ` 10,010.03 lacs as at March 31, 2021 on expansion project ('the Project') grouped under the head capital work in progress. Work on the said project has been suspended and has not been completed since many years. Further the net block as on March 31, 2021 of Building, Plant and Equipment aggregating Rs 804.75 lacs has remained idle due to shut down of the Plant. The Company has not tested the said project, building, plant and equipment ('Tangible assets') for impairment loss as per Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets. In absence of sufficient audit evidence, we were unable to determine the amount of impairment in the value of project and Tangible assets.
  • We draw attention to Note No. 37 of the financial statements which states that there are unsecured overdue trade receivables of 586.55 lacs and deposits of 182.05 lacs from Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation Ltd. and unsecured advances given to suppliers of ` 210.99 lacs which are long overdue and doubtful of recovery. The management has not considered any provision for allowance on doubtful trade receivables (expected credit loss), deposits and advances though it is long overdue. In absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence and balance confirmations, we are unable to verify the recoverability amount of the trade receivables and advances.

Note No. 36 and 37 of Prag as described above is reproduced as Note No. 50 and 52 to the consolidated financial statements respectively.

Board's response:

  • The National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") has ordered for liquidation of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd. ("Prag"), wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, vide its order No. MA 309/2018 in CP1067/ 2017 dated July 26, 2018, as a going concern. A liquidator has been appointed to manage the affairs of Prag and complete the liquidation process. The Holding Company has submitted a formal proposal to the two financial lenders for full and final settlement of all their claims. The settlement agreement with Standard Chartered Bank, one of the financial lenders has been entered and a sum of USD 11,00,000/- has been paid to them. The agreement with DCB bank is yet to be entered. The impairment, if any, of the project undertaken by Prag in earlier years and of the existing Building, Plant and Equipment of Prag will be considered on completion of the liquidation process / final settlement as the case may be, as the recoverable value is not currently ascertainable.
  • Trade Receivables of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd ("Prag"), wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, include 586.55 lacs ( P.Y. 586.55 lacs) receivable from Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation Ltd. towards sale of IMFL made by Prag in 2018-2019 and 2019- 2020. Prag, through the Liquidator is in the process of filing an application with National Company Law Tribunal for approval to initiate legal action against Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation Ltd. for recovery of the same. The Management believes that no provision for doubtful debts is required to be made against this receivable as the amount is expected to be received. The Earnest Money Deposit of 182.05 lacs (P.Y. 182.05 lacs) and the advances to suppliers of 210.99 lacs (P.Y. 211.00 lacs) are mainly given for the expansion of Prag capacity and the same would be capitalised as soon as the entire license fees are paid and the plant become operational at expanded capacity.

v. Auditors' observations under paragraph d of 'Basis for Qualified Opinion' of the Auditors' Report to the standalone financial statements:

PunjabExpo Breweries Private Limited. ("Punjabexpo") wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has incurred

net loss during the year and due to accumulated losses, the net worth is negative. Despite adverse financial condition, the Management has not recognised provision for impairment in equity investment of 1,080.39 lacs and loans & advances given of 4,278.64 lacs to PunjabExpo as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 36) 'Impairment of assets'. Reference is invited to Note No. 48 of the standalone annual financial statements.

Board's response: The net worth of PunjabExpo Breweries Private Limited ("PunjabExpo"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been eroded and has incurred net loss during the year. However, the Company is actively exploring the possibility of entering into northern markets where PunjabExpo will be one of the major sources of supply. It is also in talks with other brand owners to enter into bottling arrangements. This would significantly improve the capacity utilisation and have favourable impact on the profitability of PunjabExpo. Moreover, PunjabExpo is also in the process of rationalisation of its administrative overheads. In order to repose faith in PunjabExpo, the Company has subscribed to rights issue of 69,99,300 shares of ` 10 each of PunjabExpo in the month of April 2021, thereby further improving the net worth of PunjabExpo. The Board of Directors have assessed the above conditions and indicators and have come to the conclusion that no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on PunjabExpo's ability to continue as a going concern taking into account the plans management has put in place and the other mitigating factors described above. Hence, the management believes that no provision for impairment in equity investment and loans and advances given is required.

To the Members of Tilaknagar Industries Ltd.

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. ("the Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries collectively referred to as "the Company" or "the Group"), and an associate which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2021, the consolidated 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 (hereinafter referred to as "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matters described in basis for qualified opinion paragraph, 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, 2021, the Loss (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

Reference is invited to Note no. 45 of the consolidated annual financial statements.
  • b. The Holding Company has not recognised impairment loss on long overdue advances given to certain parties amounting to ` 6,074.08 lacs as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 109) 'Financial Instruments'. Reference is invited to Note no. 46 of the consolidated annual financial statements.
  • c. The following paragraph in respect of Basis for Qualified Opinion was included in the audit report dated May 28, 2021 issued on the Financial Statements of Prag

Distillery (P) Ltd ("Prag"), a subsidiary company of the Holding Company issued by an Independent Firm of Chartered Accountants, is reproduced as under:

  • We draw attention to note no. 36 of the Financial Statements which states that the Company has incurred capital expenditure of 10,010.03 lacs as at March 31, 2021 on expansion project (the "Project") grouped under the head capital work in progress. Work on the said project has been suspended and has not been completed since many years. Further the net block of the Company as on March 31, 2021 of Building, Plant, and Equipment aggregating 804.75 lacs has remained idle due to shut down of the Plant. The Company has not tested the said project, building, plant and equipment (Tangible Assets) for impairment loss as per Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets. In absence of sufficient audit evidence, we were unable to determine the amount of impairment in the value of the Project and Tangible Assets.
  • We draw attention to note no. 37 of the financial statements which states that there are unsecured overdue trade receivables of 586.55 lacs and deposits of 182.05 lacs from Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation Ltd and unsecured advances given to suppliers of ` 210.99 lacs which are long overdue and doubtful of recovery. The management has not considered any provision for allowance on doubtful trade receivables (expected credit loss), deposits and advances though it is long overdue. In absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence and balance confirmations, we are unable to verify the recoverability amount of the trade receivables, deposits and advances.

Note no. 36 and 37 of Prag as described above is reproduced as note no. 50 and 52 to the consolidated audited financial statements respectively.

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 obtained by us along with the consideration of audit report of the other auditors referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of the "Other Matters" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

These conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast a significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

i. Provisions for Contingencies and Litigations and disclosure of Contingent liabilities

Description of Key Audit Matter:

As at March 31, 2021 the Group has significant tax exposures and is subject to periodic assessments / challenges by tax authorities on range of indirect tax matters. The Group has also filed appeals with various appellate authorities against such demands. At March 31, 2021, the Group held provisions of approx 731.10 lacs in respect of legal claims and has disclosed total contingent liabilities of 8,477.78 lacs. These provisions are based on judgements and accounting estimates made by management in determining the likelihood and magnitude of claims. Accordingly, unexpected adverse outcomes could significantly impact the Group's reported profit and balance sheet position.

Refer Note no. 31, 48 and 1.4 (vii) of financial statements and accounting policies for contingent liabilities, provisions, and related disclosures.

Our response:

  • We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls in respect of the determination of the provisions. We determined that the operation of the controls provided us with evidence over the completeness, accuracy and valuation of the provisions.
  • We read the summary of litigation matters provided by management and held discussions with the management and their legal counsels and tax experts. We requested legal letters from some of the Group's external legal / tax advisors with respect to the matters included in the aforesaid disclosures. Where appropriate, we examined correspondence connected with the cases.
  • For litigation provisions, we tested the calculation of the provisions, assessed the assumptions against third party data, where available and assessed the estimates against historical trends.
  • We considered management's judgements on the level of provisioning and disclosures in respect of the aforesaid matters.

Based on the above procedures, we considered the management's assessment in recognising provisions and disclosing contingent liabilities as reasonable

ii. Management's assessment of appropriateness of Going Concern assumption

Description of Key Audit Matter:

During the year, the Group has incurred loss and had accumulated losses of ` 39,993.62 lacs as on March 31, 2021. Further the Group's net worth has been fully eroded as at March 31, 2021. The Group has executed a Master Restructuring Agreement during the previous year with Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited to restructure its outstanding loans (refer Note no. 30). This will result in cash outflows over the next few years for which the management has prepared cash flow forecast based on estimates and judgements. These conditions indicate requirement of assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and hence we have identified this matter as a key audit matter.

The Group's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the reporting date. The management's assessment in respect of going concern assumption is set out in Note no. 47 of the consolidated financial statements

Auditor's response:

We evaluated the appropriateness of management's use

of going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Standard on Auditing issued by ICAI in this regard. We assessed the Group's disclosures regarding Going Concern in the financial statements.

  • We discussed and evaluated the management's plans for future actions and cash flow projections in relation to its going concern assessment, to assess whether the outcome of those plans is likely to improve the situation and whether management's plans are feasible in the circumstances.
  • We assessed the possible mitigating actions identified by management in the event that actual cash flows are below forecast.
  • We assessed the Group's responses to the emerging business trends and consequential impact on the cash flows.
  • We reviewed the terms of the Master Restructuring Agreement along with the repayment schedule to assess the ability of the Group to service the interest / principal payments over the next twelve months.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Management and Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 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. The Board Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

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 financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we are made available the Board Report, if based on the work performed and based on the work done / audit report of other auditors we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information we are required to report the fact.

Responsibility of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purposes of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management of the respective Companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective Companies to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective management and Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective Companies 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 financial reporting process of the Group.

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

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 Holding Company and its subsidiary 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 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 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 entity 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 financial information of the entity included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which has been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in sub-paragraph (a) of the section titled 'Other Matters' in this audit report.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of audit report of the other auditors referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements

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 consolidated 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.

Other Matters

  • a) We did not audit the financial statements / information of 8 subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements whose Ind AS financial statements include total assets of 19,181.24 lacs as at March 31, 2021 and total revenue of Rs 376.81 lacs net cash inflows of 563.42 lacs, total loss of ` 1,833.71lacs including other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2021 as considered in the consolidated annual financial statements. These Financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on the Consolidated Ind AS financial statements insofar as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and our report in terms of section 143 (3) of the Act insofar as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of such auditors. Our opinion on the consolidated Ind As financial statements is not modified in respect of the above matter with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of other auditors.

In our opinion and according to the information and explanation given to us by the management this financial statements / information are not material to the Group. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

c) The management of the Holding Company was able to perform year end physical verification of inventories at most of the Units. However, we were not able to physically observe the stock verification due to Covid-19 related restrictions when carried out by the management. Consequently, we have performed alternate procedures to audit the existence of inventory as per the guidance note provided in SA 501 "Audit evidence – Specific Considerations for Selected items" and have obtained

sufficient appropriate audit evidence to issue our opinion on the Group's Consolidated financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 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 Internal Financial Controls system over Financial Reporting with reference to consolidated financial statements.

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

Annexure - A to the Independent Auditors' Report (Contd.)

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 Holding Company and its subsidiaries 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 March 31, 2021 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 ICAI.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2021

1.1 Corporate Information

Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. ('TI' or 'the 'Company') is a Company domiciled in India, with its registered office situated at PO Tilaknagar, Tal Shrirampur, Dist. Ahmednagar, Maharashtra - 413720. The Company has been incorporated under the provisions of Indian Companies Act and its equity is listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively as the 'Group') and the Group's interest in associates. The Group is primarily involved in manufacturing and sale of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). The Group has a strong and diverse portfolio of brands in various liquor categories including brandy, whisky, vodka, gin, and rum.

1.2 Basis of preparation

a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

The Group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Inter Company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group Companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

b) Non - controlling interests (NCI)

NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.

Changes in the Group's equity interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

c) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control over the financial and operating policies.

Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost which includes transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees until the date on which significant influence ceases.

d) Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the Group's share of other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

e) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra Group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the Investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

f) Subsidiaries and associate companies considered in the consolidated financial statements :

g) Principles of consolidation :

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries on a line-byline basis after fully eliminating the inter Company transactions.

1.3 Basis of preparation

a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the 'Act') and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The Group's financial statements up to and for the year ended March 31, 2021 were prepared in accordance with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, notified under Section 133 of the Act and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 29, 2021.

Details of the Group's accounting policies are included in Note 1.4.

b) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (`) which is also the Group's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to two decimal places to the nearest lacs, unless otherwise indicated.

c) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities and defined benefit plan assets / liabilities measured at fair value.

d) Use of estimates and judgements

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

Judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • 1) Useful life of Property, plant and equipment.
  • 2) Useful life of Intangible Assets
  • 3) Employee benefit plans
  • 4) Provisions and contingent liabilities

  • 5) Lease classification

  • 6) Income tax

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending March 31, 2021 is included in the following notes:

Note No 31- Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources.

e) Measurement at fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 : Valuation techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

1.4 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

i) Property, plant and equipment

a) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in Statement of profit or loss.

b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

c) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Asset Management estimate of
useful life
Useful Life as per Schedule
II of the Companies Act,
2013
Factory Buildings 30 30
Plant and equipment (other than ENA plants) 15 15
ENA Plants 20 15
Furniture and Fixtures 10 10
Motor Vehicles 8 8
Office Equipments 5 5
Computers 3 3
Computer server 6 6
Electrical Installations 10 10

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. Based on internal assessment and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimate of useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets.

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).

ii) Intangible assets

a) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise purchased technical know-how are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in Statement of profit or loss as incurred.

c) Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is included in depreciation and amortisation in Statement of Profit and Loss. Intangible assets are amortised over a period of 10 years for technical know-how and 3 years for others.

Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.

iii) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value after provision for obsolescence where appropriate. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.

Raw materials and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished

products will exceed their net realisable values.

The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

Scrap is valued at net realisable value.

iv) Foreign currency transactions

The Group's financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Group's functional currency.

Transactions and balances

Monetary items are initially recorded by the Group at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of profit or loss. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

v) Impairment of non-financial assets

An asset is deemed impairable when recoverable value is less than its carrying cost and the difference between the two represents provisioning exigency. Recoverable value is the higher of the 'Value in Use' and fair value as reduced by cost of disposal. Test of impairment of PPE (Property, Plant & Equipment), investment in subsidiaries / associates / joint venture and goodwill are undertaken under Cash Generating Unit (CGU) concept. For Intangible Assets and Investment Properties it is undertaken in asset specific context. Test of impairment of assets are generally undertaken based on indication of impairment, if any, from external and internal sources of information. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

vi) Employee Benefits

a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

b) Defined Contribution Plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Group makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund and Employee State Insurance scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in statement of profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.

Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

c) Defined Benefit Plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in statement of profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service ('past service cost' or 'past

service gain') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in statement of profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

d) Other long-term employee benefits

The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is 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. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

vii) Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assumptions of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is recognised as finance cost.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

viii) Leases

As a lessee

The Group has adopted modified simplified approach under Ind AS 116 - Leases, with effect from April 01, 2019. Accordingly, the Group has recognised 'Right of use (ROU)' assets of 117.99 lacs, accumulated amortisation of Nil and present value of lease liabilities of ` 117.99 lacs as on April 01, 2019.

In the statement of profit and loss for the year, instead of rent expenses (as accounted under previous periods), amortisation of right of use has been accounted under depreciation and amortisation expenses and unwinding of discount on lease liabilities has been accounted under finance cost.

The Group's leases primarily consist of leases of office premises, warehouses and guest houses. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognises a ROU and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these shortterm and / or low value leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised

The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Currently, ROU assets are being amortised over a period of 3-5 years based on lease term being lower of lease term and estimated useful life of underlying assets.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing activities in statement of cash flows.

As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straightline basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases.

ix) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of those property, plant and equipment which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they incur in the statement of profit and loss.

x) Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises revenue from contracts with customers for sale of goods. Revenue from sale of goods is inclusive of excise duties and is net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes, Goods and Services Tax (GST) and such amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised as and when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring goods or services to the customer, as below:

a) Revenue from sale of products:

Revenue is recognised at transaction price on transfer of control, being on dispatch of goods or upon delivery to customer, in accordance with the terms of sale.

b) Revenue from manufacture and sale of products from tie-up manufacturing arrangements:

The Company has entered into arrangements with Tie-up Manufacturing Units (TMUs), wherein TMUs manufacture and sell beverage alcohol on behalf of the Company. Under such arrangements, the Company has exposure to significant risks and rewards associated with the sale of products i.e. it has the primary responsibility for providing goods to the customer, has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks. Accordingly, the transactions of the TMUs under such arrangements have been recorded as gross revenue, excise duty and expenses as if they were transactions of the Company. The Company also presents inventory under such arrangements as its own inventory. The net receivables from / payable to TMUs are recognised under other financial assets / other financial liabilities respectively.

c) Interest

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included under the head "Other income" in the statement of profit and loss.

d) Dividend

Dividend income is recognised when the Group's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approve the dividend.

xi) Government grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to revenue, it is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate. When the grant relates to an asset, it is treated as deferred income and recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

xii) Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

a) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary

differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax assets recognised or unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The Group offsets the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

xiii) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjusting for the effects of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

xiv) Statement of Cash flow

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 receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated. Cash and cash equivalents are cash, balances with bank and short-term (three months or less from the date of placement), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value

Amendment to Ind AS 7

Effective April 1, 2017, the Group adopted the amendment to Ind AS 7, which require the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the Balance Sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement. The adoption of amendment did not have any material impact on the financial statements.

xv) Share based payments

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and / or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

xvi) Financial instruments

a) Recognition and initial measurement

The Group initially recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

b) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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.

In case, the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability, at initial recognition, differs from the transaction price, the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price -

  • (i) is recognised as a gain or loss if that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valuation.
  • (ii) is deferred and is recognised as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from

a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability. The unamortised portion of the deferred fair value gain / loss difference as on reporting date, is disclosed under other current / non-current assets / liabilities as the case may be.

c) Derecognition Financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

The Group assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model at an amount equal to:-

  • 12 months expected credit losses, or
  • Lifetime expected credit losses depending upon whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, for trade receivables, the Group does not track the changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and a new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

d) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

xvii) Recent amendments to Indian Accounting Standards:

On July 24, 2020, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had issued amendments to certain Ind AS as follows:

a) Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations:

The definition of the term "business" has been revised. An optional test has been introduced to identify concentration of fair value to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Additional guidance with elements of business and on assessing whether an acquired process is substantive. An entity is required to apply the amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after the April 01, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period. There was no impact on the financial statements of the Group on adoption of the above amendments for the year.

b) Ind AS 107 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Additional disclosures have been introduced for uncertainties arising from interest rate benchmark reforms consequential to the hedge accounting related amendments in the Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments. The Group did not have any transactions during the year to which these amendments were applicable.

c) Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments:

Temporary exceptions from applying specific hedge accounting requirements have been introduced for all hedging relationships directly affected by 'interest rate benchmark reform'. (i.e. the market-wide reform of an interest rate benchmark, including the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate). This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2020. The Group did not have any transactions during the year to which these amendments were applicable.

d) Ind AS 116 - Leases:

A Practical expedient has been allowed to permit lessees to exclude COVID-19 related rent concessions to be treated as a lease modification. This amendment is applicable to the Group from annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2020. There were no rent concessions during the year and accordingly, there was no impact on the financial statements of the Group on adoption of the above amendments for the year.

e) Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and Ind AS 8 -Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (and consequential amendments to other Ind AS):

The definition of the term "material" has been revised and is applicable prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2020. Consequent to the revised definition of "material", certain amendments were also notified in the Ind AS 10 - Events after the Reporting Period, Ind AS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and Ind AS 37 -Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.There was no impact on the financial statements of the Group on adoption of this amendment for the year.

f) Standards issued but not yet effective:

As on the date of approval of these financial statements, there were no new standards or amendments which have been notified but not yet adopted by the Group and expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group.

25. Financial Instruments - Accounting classification and fair value measurements

a) The fair value of the assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in forced or liquidation sale.

b) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:

  • 1) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
  • 2) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rate and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.

c) The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques:

Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 : Valuation techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financials liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy :

26. Financial risk management

Objectives and policies

Risk management framework

The Group's management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.

The Group conducts yearly risk assessment activities to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group has a system in place to ensure risk identification and ongoing periodic risk assessment is carried out. The Board of directors periodically monitors the risk assessment.

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments :

  • Credit risk
  • Liquidity risk
  • Market risk
  • Interest risk

: a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The Group generally doesn't have collateral.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows :- (` in lacs)

Particulars As at As at
March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020
Trade Receivables 18,110.18 24,337.52
Cash and Cash Equivalents 4,486.40 3,733.58
Other Bank Balances 324.49 237.77
Loans 0.47 1.65
Other Financial Assets 2,926.80 2,967.31
Total 25,848.34 31,277.83

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed as per Group's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit risk has always been managed by the Group through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

An impairment analysis is performed for all major customers at each reporting date on an individual basis. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous group and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several industries and operate in largely independent markets.

As at March 31, 2020 24,337.52 24,337.52 -

Bank balances and deposits with banks

Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Group's finance department as per Group's policy. Investment of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Group's Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Group's Board of directors. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

102,057.50 32,609.37 69,448.13

c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows arising out of change in the price of a financial instrument. These include change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowing.

The Group manages market risk through a risk management committee engaged in, inter alia, evaluation and identification of risk factors with the object of governing / mitigation them accordingly to Group's objectives and declared policies in specific context of impact thereof on various segments of financial instruments.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group. The Group has export sales primarily denominated in US dollars.

Exposure to currency risk

The Group's exposure to currency risk as reported to the management is as follows:

(in lacs)
Particulars As at As at
March 31, 2021 March 31, 2019

Export receivables 0.08 0.25
Overseas payables (87.53) (97.85)

Foreign currency sensitivity

1% increase in foreign exchange rates will have the following impact on profit before tax:

(` in lacs)
Particulars As at As at

Increase / (decrease) in profit (64.05) (73.30)
Total increase / (decrease) in profit (64.05) (73.30)

A 1% decrease in foreign exchange rates at the reporting date would have had equal but opposite effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variable remain constant.

d) Interest risk

IInterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The entity's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments is as follows:

Total 3,786.21 4,251.68

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased gain as at year end by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Particulars Profit or loss

Variable-rate instruments (37.86)
Cash flow sensitivity (37.86)
March 31, 2020

29. Capital Management

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Group. The primary objective of the Group when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholder value.

Consequent to such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Group allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.

The Group monitors capital based on the following ratio :-

Developments during the current reporting year

Subsequent to the modification and restructuring the loans during the previous year (as summarised below), the Company has been regular in repayment of the interest and instalments due as per the restructured schedule.

Unwinding of discount and corresponding amortisation of deferred fair gain in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year, in respect of the Balance debt, was ` 1,133.96 lacs. Accordingly, net impact of the above entries on the loss for the year was Nil.

Refer Note 13 for trust-wise carrying amounts of the aforesaid term loans and the carrying amount of the Balance debt as on March 31, 2021.

In the month of April 2021, the Company has completed the allotment of equity shares having face value ` 10 each, on a fully diluted basis, to the lender trusts as per the terms of the restructuring agreement, as follows:

Lender trusts Debt converted Equity Shares allotted

Total 3,386.75 139.04

Summary of modification and restructuring of loans

During the previous year, as a result of the substantial modification in the terms of existing loans due to the restructuring package, the Company had de-recognised the existing loans and has recognised the new loans with revised terms with effect from April 01, 2019. The difference between the carrying amounts of the existing loans and the new loans has been recognised in the profit and loss under the head 'exceptional items'. The terms of the restructuring package are summarised as follows:

**Refer Note 13 for the revised terms in respect of interest rate and repayment schedules.

The treatment of the balance debt was agreed as follows: (` in lacs)
Particulars Amount
(A) Balance debt as above 17,885.14
(B) Equity shares to be issued to the following trusts on fully diluted basis:
EARC trust SC 233 575.74

EARC trust SC 269 1,456.31
Converted balance debt 3,386.75
(C) Balance debt after converted balance debt to be waived off (A-B) 14,498.38

The above balance debt of ` 14,498.38 lacs carries interest at the rate of 0.001% per annum. At initial recognition, the same has been accounted at present value, discounted at an estimated fair value rate of 12% per annum. The gain on initial recognition has been deferred and is being amortised over the period of the loan by netting off against the interest cost on the amortised cost of the loan in the subsequent periods.

Contingent liabilities above represent estimates made mainly for probable claims arising out of litigation and disputes pending with tax authorities. The probability and timing of outflow with regard to these matters depend on the final outcome of litigations / disputes. Hence the Company is not able to reasonably ascertain the timing of the outflow.

In addition to above, the Company is also subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liability, where applicable. The management does not reasonably expect that these legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will have a material and adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.

32. Operating Lease:

a) The Company has taken certain office premises and warehouse under cancellable operating leases. In the rent agreements there are no terms for purchase option or any restriction such as those concerning dividend and additional debts. Lease agreements of the Company do not contain any variable lease payment or any residual value guarantees.

  • 45. The Company had applied to the State government authorities for dual feed permission for manufacture of ENA through molasses as well as grain at one of its ENA Plants. Permission has been received for operating the fermentation section till September 02, 2021. It is expected that permission for operating the distillation section also will be received soon. In view of this, the management believes that there is no impairment in value of its ENA Plant and hence the recoverable amount of the ENA Plant is not required to be estimated.
  • 46. In lieu of advances given to certain body corporates amounting to ` 6,074.08 lacs, the Company had received land from their holding Company. The land received has been registered in the name of the Company. The advances have not been adjusted against the dues to the said holding Company pending completion of the merger formalities of the said body corporates with their holding Company. In view of this, the management believes that no provision is considered necessary in the books of accounts.
  • 47. The erosion of the net worth of the Group has been substantially recovered in the financial year 2019-20 and the negative networth stands at ` 5,571.84 lacs as at March 31, 2021. This is due to major reduction in debt resulting from compromise settlements with banks and entering into agreement, during the financial year 2019-20 with Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. ("EARC") acting as Trustee on behalf of Trusts in favour of whom some of the lender banks and financial institution have assigned all the rights, title and interests in financial assistances granted by them to the Company, with respect to restructuring of the debts owed to it by the Company. The compromise settlements and restructuring agreement have significantly reduced the debt burden and consequential finance cost thereon, the benefit whereof will continue to accrue in the years to come. The Group has initiated the process of cost reduction, changes in business strategy and rationalisation of manpower which will strengthen its financial position.

In spite of the country wide lockdown due to the global pandemic affecting the operations in the first two months of the financial year 2020-21, ever since the staggered resumption of operations, sales have started stabilising across the country with certain southern states showing substantial growth and is expected to match the yearly estimates resulting in improved operational performance of the business in terms of sales, market share and margins.

The Board of Directors have assessed the above conditions and indicators and have come to the conclusion that no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern taking into account the plans management has put in place and the other mitigating factors described above.

  • 49. The net worth of PunjabExpo Breweries Private Limited ("PunjabExpo"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been eroded and has incurred net loss during the current year. However, the Holding Company is actively exploring the possibility of entering into northern markets where PunjabExpo will be one of the major sources of supply. It is also in talks with other brand owners to enter into bottling arrangements. This would significantly improve the capacity utilisation and have favourable impact on the profitability of PunjabExpo. Moreover, PunjabExpo is also in the process of rationalisation of its administrative overheads. In order to repose faith in PunjabExpo, the Holding Company has subscribed to rights issue of 69,99,300 shares of ` 10 each of PunjabExpo in the month of April 2021, thereby further improving the net worth of PunjabExpo.The Board of Directors have assessed the above conditions and indicators and have come to the conclusion that no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the PunjabExpo's ability to continue as a going concern taking into account the plans management has put in place and the other mitigating factors described above. Hence, the accounts of PunjabExpo have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The agreement with DCB bank is yet to be entered. The impairment, if any, of the project undertaken by Prag in earlier years and of the existing Building, Plant and Equipment of Prag will be considered on completion of the liquidation process / final settlement as the case may be, as the recoverable value is not currently ascertainable.

Prag, through the Liquidator is in the process of filing an application with National Company Law Tribunal for approval to initiate legal action against Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation Ltd. for recovery of the same. The Management believes that no provision for doubtful debts is required to be made against this receivable as the amount is expected to be received. The Earnest Money Deposit of 182.05 lacs (P.Y. 182.05 lacs) and the advances to suppliers of 210.99 lacs (P.Y. 211.00 lacs) are mainly given for the expansion of Prag capacity and the same would be capitalised as soon as the entire licence fees are paid and the plant become operational at expanded capacity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought economies, businesses and lives around the world to a standstill, and our country is no exception. Based on the directives and advisories issued by central and state governments and other relevant authorities during the lockdown, our operations at factory / states was affected partially. Considering the unprecedented and ever evolving situation, the Group had made assessment of recoverability and carrying value of its assets comprising of tangible assets, inventories and other current assets as at March 31, 2021 and made appropriate provisions. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuous process, given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The Group will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions. The management has taken into account the impact of COVID-19 on the business for the foreseeable future and have concluded that the Group has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Tilaknagar Industries Ltd.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, 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 (hereinafter 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, except for the possible effects of the matters described in basis for qualified opinion paragraph, 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, 2021, the Loss (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

  • a. The Company has not carried out impairment assessment of one of the ENA plants as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 36) 'Impairment of Assets' though there is an indication of impairment. Reference is invited to note no. 44 of the standalone financial statements.
  • b. The Company has not recognised provision for impairment of long overdue advances given to certain parties amounting to ` 6,074.08 lacs as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 109) 'Financial Instruments'. Reference is invited to note no. 45 of the standalone financial statements.
  • c. The National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") has ordered for liquidation of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd ("Prag") wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, vide its order No. MA 309/2018 in CP1067/ 2017 dated July 26, 2018. However, the Company has not made impairment provision for equity investment of ` 1,543.35 lacs in

Prag as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 36) 'Impairment of assets'. Reference is invited to note no. 49 of the standalone financial statements.

d. PunjabExpo Breweries Private Limited (the "PunjabExpo") a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has incurred net loss during the year and due to accumulated losses the net-worth is negative. Despite adverse financial condition the Management has not recognised provision for impairment in equity investment of 1,080.40 lacs and loans / advances given of 4,278.64 lacs to PunjabExpo as required by Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 36) 'Impairment of Assets'. Reference is invited to note no. 48 of the standalone financial statements.

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.

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 the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

i. Provisions for Contingencies and Litigations and disclosure of Contingent liabilities

Description of Key Audit Matter:

As at March 31, 2021 the Company has significant tax exposures and is subject to periodic assessments / challenges by tax authorities on range of indirect tax matters. The Company has also filed appeals with various appellate

authorities against such demands. At March 31, 2021, the Company held provisions of approx 731.10 lacs in respect of legal claims and has disclosed total contingent liabilities of 8,390.31 lacs. These provisions are based on judgements and accounting estimates made by management in determining the likelihood and magnitude of claims. Accordingly, unexpected adverse outcomes could significantly impact the Company's reported profit and balance sheet position.

Refer Note no. 30, 47 and 1.3(vii) of financial statements and accounting policies for contingent liabilities, provisions and related disclosures.

Auditor's response:

  • We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls in respect of the determination of the provisions. We determined that the operation of the controls provided us with evidence over the completeness, accuracy and valuation of the provisions.
  • We read the summary of litigation matters provided by management and held discussions with the management and their legal counsels and tax experts. We requested legal letters from some of the Company's external legal / tax advisors with respect to the matters included in the aforesaid disclosures. Where appropriate, we examined correspondence connected with the cases.
  • For litigation provisions, we tested the calculation of the provisions, assessed the assumptions against third party data, where available and assessed the estimates against historical trends.
  • We considered management's judgements on the level of provisioning and disclosures in respect of the aforesaid matters.

Based on the above procedures, we considered the management's assessment in recognising provisions and disclosing contingent liabilities as reasonable

ii. Management's assessment of appropriateness of Going Concern assumption

Description of Key Audit Matter:

During the year, the Company has incurred loss and has accumulated losses of ` 38,448.34 lacs as on March 31, 2021. Further the Company's net worth has been fully eroded as at March 31, 2021. The Company had executed a Master Restructuring Agreement during the previous year with Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited to restructure its outstanding loans (refer note no. 29). This will result in cash outflows towards repayment of principal and interest over the next few years for which the management has prepared cash flow forecast based on estimates and judgements. These conditions indicate requirement of assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and hence we have identified this matter as a key audit matter.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the reporting date. The management's assessment in respect of going concern assumption is set out in Note no. 46 of the standalone financial statements.

Auditor's response:

  • We evaluated the appropriateness of management's use of going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Standard on Auditing issued by ICAI in this regard. We assessed the Company's disclosures regarding Going Concern in the financial statements.
  • We discussed and evaluated the management's plans for future actions and cash flow projections in relation to its going concern assessment, to assess whether the outcome of those plans is likely to improve the situation and whether management's plans are feasible in the circumstances.
  • We assessed the possible mitigating actions identified by management in the event that actual cash flows are below forecast.
  • We assessed the Company's responses to the emerging business trends and consequential impact on the cash flows.
  • We reviewed the terms of the Master Restructuring Agreement along with the repayment schedule to assess the ability of the Company to service the interest / principal payments over the next twelve months.

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 Company's Board Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Board Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we are made available the Board Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Management's Responsibility for the 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 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 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 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 scepticism 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 Auditors' Report

(Referred to in paragraph 2 under 'Report on Other Legal and regulatory requirements' section of our report to the members of the Company of even date)

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 Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

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 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention nor 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

Annexure - B to the Independent Auditors' Report (Contd.)

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 March 31, 2021, based on the Internal control over Financial Reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the 'Act') and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 29, 2021.

Details of the Company's accounting policies are included in Note 1.3.

b) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (`), which is also the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to two decimal places to the nearest lacs, unless otherwise indicated.

c) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities and defined benefit plan assets / liabilities measured at fair value.

d) Use of estimates and judgements

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

Judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • 1) Useful life of Property, plant and equipment.
  • 2) Useful life of Intangible Assets
  • 3) Employee benefit plans
  • 4) Provisions and contingent liabilities
  • 5) Lease classification
  • 6) Income tax

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment for the year end March 31, 2021 is included in the following notes:

Note No 30-Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources.

e) Measurement at fair values

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial assets and liabilities.

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 : Valuation techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the

fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

1.3 Significant Accounting Policies

i) Property, plant and equipment

a) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in statement of Profit & Loss.

b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

c) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Asset Management estimate of
useful life
Useful Life as per Schedule
II of the Companies Act,
2013
Factory Buildings 30 30
Plant and equipment (other than ENA plants) 15 15
ENA Plants 20 15
Furniture and Fixtures 10 10
Motor Vehicles 8 8
Office Equipments 5 5
Computers 3 3
Computer server 6 6
Electrical Installations 10 10

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. Based on internal assessment and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimate of useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets.

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).

ii) Intangible assets

a) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise purchased technical know-how are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

c) Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is included in depreciation and amortisation in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Intangible assets are amortised over a period of 10 years for technical know-how and 3 years for others.

Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.

iii) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value after provision for obsolescence where appropriate. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-inprogress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.

Raw materials and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable values.

The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

Scrap is valued at net realisable value.

iv) Foreign currency transactions

The Company's financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company's functional currency.

Transactions and balances

Monetary items are initially recorded by the Company at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in statement of profit & loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

v) Impairment of non-financial assets

An asset is deemed impairable when recoverable value is less than its carrying cost and the difference between the two represents provisioning exigency. Recoverable value is the higher of the 'Value in Use' and fair value as reduced by cost of disposal. Test of impairment of PPE (Property, Plant & Equipment ) investment in subsidiaries / associates / joint venture and goodwill are undertaken under Cash Generating Unit (CGU) concept. For Intangible Assets and Investment Properties it is undertaken in asset specific context. Test of impairment of assets are generally undertaken based on indication of impairment, if any, from external and internal sources of information. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

vi) Employee Benefits

a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are

expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

b) Defined Contribution Plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in statement of profit or loss in the year during which the related services are rendered by employees.

Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

c) Defined Benefit Plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in statement of profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service ('past service cost' or 'past service gain') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in statement of profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

d) Other long-term employee benefits

The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than postemployment benefits is 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. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

vii) Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assumptions of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is recognised as finance cost.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of

the Company. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

viii) Leases

As a lessee

The Company has adopted modified simplified approach under Ind AS 116 - Leases, with effect from April 01, 2019. Accordingly, the Company has recognised 'Right of use (ROU)' assets of 106.84 lacs, accumulated amortisation of Nil and present value of lease liabilities of ` 106.84 lacs as on April 01, 2019.

In the statement of profit and loss for the year, instead of rent expenses (as accounted under previous periods), amortisation of right of use has been accounted under depreciation and amortisation expenses and unwinding of discount on lease liabilities has been accounted under finance cost.

The Company's leases primarily consist of leases of office premises, warehouses and guest houses. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a ROU and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and / or low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised

The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Currently, ROU assets are being amortised over a period of 3-5 years based on lease term being lower of lease term and estimated useful life of underlying assets.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing activities in statement of cash flows.

As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straightline basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases.

ix) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of those property, plant and equipment which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they incur in the statement of profit and loss.

x) Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises revenue from contracts with customers for sale of goods. Revenue from sale of goods is inclusive of excise duties and is net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes, Goods and Services Tax (GST) and such amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised as and when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring goods or services to the customer, as below:

a) Revenue from sale of products:

Revenue is recognised at transaction price on transfer of control, being on dispatch of goods or upon delivery to customer, in accordance with the terms of sale.

b) Revenue from manufacture and sale of products from tie-up manufacturing arrangements:

The Company has entered into arrangements with Tie-up Manufacturing Units (TMUs), wherein TMUs manufacture and sell beverage alcohol on behalf of the Company. Under such arrangements, the Company has exposure to significant risks and rewards associated with the sale of products i.e. it has the primary responsibility for providing goods to the customer, has pricing latitude and

is also exposed to inventory and credit risks. Accordingly, the transactions of the TMUs under such arrangements have been recorded as gross revenue, excise duty and expenses as if they were transactions of the Company. The Company also presents inventory under such arrangements as its own inventory. The net receivables from / payable to TMUs are recognised under other financial assets / other financial liabilities respectively.

c) Interest

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included under the head "Other income" in the statement of profit and loss.

d) Dividend

Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approve the dividend.

xi) Government grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to revenue, it is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate. When the grant relates to an asset, it is treated as deferred income and recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

xii) Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

a) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax assets recognised or unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The Company offsets the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

xiii) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number

of ordinary shares outstanding after adjusting for the effects of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

xiv) Statement of Cash flow

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) 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 receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash and cash equivalents are cash, balances with bank and shortterm (three months or less from the date of placement), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

xv) Share based payments

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and / or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

xvi) Financial instruments

a) Recognition and initial measurement

The Company initially recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.

b) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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.

In case, the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability, at initial recognition, differs from the transaction price, the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price -

  • (i) is recognised as a gain or loss if that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valuation.
  • (ii) is deferred and is recognised as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability. The unamortised portion of the deferred fair value gain / loss difference as on reporting date, is disclosed under other current / non-current assets / liabilities as the case may be.

c) Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model at an amount equal to:-

  • 12 months expected credit losses, or
  • Lifetime expected credit losses depending upon whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, for trade receivables, the company does not track the changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired. The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and a new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

d) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

xvii) Recent amendments to Indian Accounting Standards:

On July 24, 2020, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had issued amendments to certain Ind AS as follows:

a) Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations:

The definition of the term "business" has been revised. An optional test has been introduced to identify concentration of fair value to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Additional guidance with elements of business and on assessing whether an acquired process is substantive. An entity is required to apply the amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after April 01, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period. There was no impact on the financial statements of the Company on adoption of the above amendments for the year.

b) Ind AS 107 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures:

Additional disclosures have been introduced for uncertainties arising from interest rate benchmark reforms consequential to the hedge accounting related amendments in the Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments. The Company did not have any transactions during the year to which these amendments were applicable.

c) Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments:

Temporary exceptions from applying specific hedge accounting requirements have been introduced for all hedging relationships directly affected by 'interest rate benchmark reform'. (i.e. the marketwide reform of an interest rate benchmark, including the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate).

This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2020. The Company did not have any transactions during the year to which these amendments were applicable.

d) Ind AS 116 - Leases:

A practical expedient has been allowed to permit lessees to exclude COVID-19 related rent concessions to be treated as a lease modification. This amendment is applicable to the Company from annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2020. There were no rent concessions during the year and accordingly, there was no impact on the financial statements of the Company on adoption of the above amendments for the year.

e) Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and Ind AS 8 -Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (and consequential amendments to other Ind AS):

The definition of the term "material" has been revised and is applicable prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2020. Consequent to the revised definition of "material", certain amendments were also notified in the Ind AS 10 - Events after the Reporting Period, Ind AS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and Ind AS 37 -Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.There was no impact on the financial statements of the Company on adoption of this amendment for the year.

f) Standards issued but not yet effective:

As on the date of approval of these financial statements, there were no new standards or amendments which have been notified but not yet adopted by the Company and expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

24. Financial Instruments - Accounting classification and fair value measurements

  • a) The fair value of the assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in forced or liquidation sale.
  • b) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
  • 1) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
  • 2) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rate and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
  • c) The company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques:

Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 : Valuation techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financials liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy :

25. Financial risk management

Objectives and policies

Risk management framework

The Company's management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.

The Company conducts yearly risk assessment activities to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Company has a system in place to ensure risk identification and ongoing periodic risk assessment is carried out. The Board of directors periodically monitors the risk assessment.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments :

  • Credit risk
  • Liquidity risk
  • Market risk
  • Interest risk

a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The company generally doesn't have collateral.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows :- (` in lacs)

Particulars As at As at
March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020
Trade Receivables 17,485.50 23,695.35
Cash and Cash Equivalents 1,288.95 1,099.56
Other Bank Balances 186.02 111.03
Loans 868.10 1.65
Other Financial Assets 8,228.67 7,683.37
Total 28,057.24 32,590.96

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed as per Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit risk has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

An impairment analysis is performed for all major customers at each reporting date on an individual basis. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous group and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several industries and operate in largely independent markets..

As at March 31, 2020 23,695.35 23,695.35 -

Bank balances and deposits with banks

Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the company's finance department as per Company's policy. Investment of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Company's Board of directors. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

95,981.23 26,537.22 69,444.01

c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows arising out of change in the price of a financial instrument. These include change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowing.

The company manages market risk through a risk management committee engaged in, inter alia, evaluation and identification of risk factors with the object of governing / mitigation them accordingly to company's objectives and declared policies in specific context of impact thereof on various segments of financial instruments.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Company. The Company has export sales primarily denominated in US dollars.

Exposure to currency risk

The Company's exposure to currency risk as reported to the management is as follows:

Increase / (decrease) in profit (54.35) (55.60)
Total increase / (decrease) in profit (54.35) (55.60)

A 1% decrease in foreign exchange rates at the reporting date would have had equal but opposite effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variable remain constant.

d) Interest risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The entity's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments is as follows:

28. Capital Management

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholder value.

Consequent to such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.

Developments during the current reporting year

Subsequent to the modification and restructuring the loans during the previous year (as summarised below), the Company has been regular in repayment of the interest and instalments due as per the restructured schedule.

Unwinding of discount and corresponding amortisation of deferred fair gain in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year, in respect of the Balance debt, was ` 1,133.96 lacs. Accordingly, net impact of the above entries on the loss for the year was Nil.

Refer Note 12 for trust-wise carrying amounts of the aforesaid term loans and the carrying amount of the Balance debt as on March 31, 2021.

In the month of April 2021, the Company has completed the allotment of equity shares having face value ` 10 each, on a fully diluted basis, to the lender trusts as per the terms of the restructuring agreement, as follows:

Summary of modification and restructuring of loans

During the previous year, as a result of the substantial modification in the terms of existing loans due to the restructuring package, the Company had de-recognised the existing loans and has recognised the new loans with revised terms with effect from April 01, 2019. The difference between the carrying amounts of the existing loans and the new loans has been recognised in the profit and loss under the head 'exceptional items'. The terms of the restructuring package are summarised as follows:

The treatment of the balance debt was agreed as follows: (` in lacs)
Particulars Amount
(A) Balance debt as above 17,885.14
(B) Equity shares to be issued to the following trusts on fully diluted basis:
EARC trust SC 233 575.74

EARC trust SC 269 1,456.31
Converted balance debt 3,386.75
(C)Balance debt after converted balance debt to be waived off (A-B) 14,498.38

The above balance debt of ` 14,498.38 lacs carries interest at the rate of 0.001% per annum. At initial recognition, the same has been accounted at present value, discounted at an estimated fair value rate of 12% per annum. The gain on initial recognition has been deferred and is being amortised over the period of the loan by netting off against the interest cost on the amortised cost of the loan in the subsequent periods.

Contingent liabilities above represent estimates made mainly for probable claims arising out of litigation and disputes pending with tax authorities. The probability and timing of outflow with regard to these matters depend on the final outcome of litigations / disputes. Hence the Company is not able to reasonably ascertain the timing of the outflow.

In addition to above, the Company is also subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liability, where applicable. The management does not reasonably expect that these legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will have a material and adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.

  • 44. The Company had applied to the State Government authorities for dual feed permission for manufacture of ENA through molasses as well as grain at one of its ENA Plants. Permission has been received for operating the fermentation section till September 02, 2021. It is expected that permission for operating the distillation section also will be received soon. In view of this, the management believes that there is no impairment in value of its ENA Plant and hence the recoverable amount of the ENA Plant is not required to be estimated.
  • 45. In lieu of advances given to certain body corporates amounting to ` 6,074.08 lacs, the Company had received land from their holding company. The land received has been registered in the name of the Company. The advances have not been adjusted against the dues to the said holding company pending completion of the merger formalities of the said body corporates with their holding company. In view of this, the management believes that no provision is considered necessary in the books of accounts.

46. The erosion of the net worth of the Company has been substantially recovered in the financial year 2019-20 and the negative networth stands at ` 5,236.78 lacs as at March 31, 2021. This is due to major reduction in debt resulting from compromise settlements with banks and entering into agreement, during the financial year 2019-20 with Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd. ("EARC") acting as Trustee on behalf of Trusts in favour of whom some of the lender banks and financial institution have assigned all the rights, title and interests in financial assistances granted by them to the Company with respect to restructuring of the debts owed to it by the Company. The compromise settlements and restructuring agreement have significantly reduced the debt burden and consequential finance cost thereon, the benefit whereof will continue to accrue in the years to come. The Company has initiated the process of cost reduction, changes in business strategy and rationalisation of manpower which will strengthen its financial position.

In spite of the country wide lockdown due to the global pandemic affecting the operations in the first two months of the financial year 2020-21, ever since the staggered resumption of operations, sales have started stabilising across the country with certain southern states showing substantial growth resulting in improved operational performance of the business in terms of sales, market share and margins.

The Board of Directors have assessed the above conditions and indicators and have come to the conclusion that no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern taking into account the plans management has put in place and the other mitigating factors described above.

  • 47. a) Anupama Wine Distributors has filed a suit before the City Civil Court, Bangalore claiming approximately 731.10 lacs towards refund of security deposit and other dues. The Hon'ble Court vide its Order dated December 22, 2007 dismissed their application for attachment of property for recovery of the above dues. The Company has filed a counter claim for the sum of approximately 1,193.00 lacs against Anupama Wine Distributors and the matter is pending before City Civil Court, Bangalore. The matter is posted for filing evidence by Anupama Wine Distributors. The Company has filed an application to club both the matters related to Anupama Wine Distributors and Anupama Distributors as the evidences are the same. This clubbing application has been allowed.
  • b) A body corporate has filed a legal suit on the Company to obtain restraining order on the use of certain trademarks owned by the Company. An interim order was passed by the Bombay High Court upholding the ownership of the Company in the aforesaid trade marks and allowing the Company continuous and uninterrupted use of the said trademarks without any restraint.
  • 48. The net worth of PunjabExpo Breweries Private Limited ("PunjabExpo"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been eroded and has incurred net loss during the year. However, the Company is actively exploring the possibility of entering into northern markets where PunjabExpo will be one of the major sources of supply. It is also in talks with other brand owners to enter into bottling arrangements. This would significantly improve the capacity utilisation and have favourable impact on the profitability of PunjabExpo. Moreover, PunjabExpo is also in the process of rationalisation of its administrative overheads. In order to repose faith in PunjabExpo, the Company has subscribed to rights issue of 69,99,300 shares of ` 10 each of PunjabExpo in the month of April 2021, thereby further improving the net worth of PunjabExpo. The Board of Directors have assessed the above conditions and indicators and have come to the conclusion that no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on PunjabExpo's ability to continue as a going concern taking into account the plans management has put in place and the other mitigating factors described above. Hence, the management believes that no provision for impairment in equity investment and loans and advances given is required..
  • 49. The National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT") has ordered for liquidation of Prag Distillery (P) Ltd. ("Prag"), wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, vide its order No. MA 309/2018 in CP1067/ 2017 dated July 26, 2018, as a going concern.

Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process.
