Management’s response

We draw attention to the Note No 43 to the Financial Results, which indicates that Loans receivables of Rs. 1470.96/- lakhs, which have significant increase in credit risk, in respect of which the Company has not made any assessment for expected credit loss, in accordance with the requirements of 'Ind AS 109: Financial instruments', as the management considers such balances as good and recoverable in future. In the absence of such assessment for expected credit loss by the Management and any other evidence to corroborate the Management's assessment, we are unable to comment on the recoverability of these balances and the consequent impact, if any, on the provision thereon and the loss to be reported in the financial results.

Management's Response against Note No. 43 of Auditor's Report.
The management acknowledges the auditor's observation regarding the loan receivables amounting to Rs. 1,470.96 lakhs, which have shown an increase in credit risk as per the financial results Note No 43. We would like to clarify that, after a thorough review, we consider these receivables to be fully recoverable due to the following factors:
1. Creditworthiness of Borrowers: The underlying borrowers have a consistent track record of repayments, and recent evaluations indicate that their financial position remains stable, thus minimizing the risk of default.
2. Favorable Economic and Industry Conditions: The industry segments to which these borrowers belong are experiencing growth, supported by macroeconomic indicators that predict positive future cash flows for these businesses. Such favorable conditions enhance the borrowers' ability to meet their financial obligations.
3. Management's Continued Vigilance and Strategic Approach: Management remains committed to closely monitoring these receivables. In line with best practices, we periodically reassess the credit risk and stand ready to make provisions should any adverse indicators arise in future periods. However, at this time, no such indicators necessitate a provision under Ind AS 109.
Based on the above factors and the prudent analysis undertaken, we are of the opinion that these balances are fully recoverable, and any provision for credit loss is currently unwarranted. Management's assessment is in accordance with established accounting standards, and we are confident that this position is reasonable and transparent.

|
We draw attention to the Note No 44 to the Financial Results, which indicates that Trade Receivables amounting to Rs. 4164.51/- lakhs, which have significant increase in credit risk, in respect of which the Company has not made any assessment for expected credit loss, in accordance with the requirements of 'Ind AS 109: Financial instruments', as the management considers such balances as good and recoverable in future. In the absence of such assessment for expected credit loss by the Management and any other evidence to corroborate the Management's assessment, we are unable to comment on the recoverability of these balances and the consequent impact, if any, on the provision thereon and the loss reported in the financial results.
|
The Management is consciously monitoring these Trade Receivables. We are in talk with them to recover the outstanding amount and till the time management haven't received any negative feedback from our customers for the recovery of the amount and hence the management is very well confident on the recovery of these receivables in upcoming years. For the Auditor's remark on the Credit Risk, the management has assessed these receivables as good & recoverable and hence the provision of the credit loss has not been made in the books of accounts.

|
We draw attention to the Note No to 45 the Financial Results, which indicates that company has made investments in unquoted equity shares of the companies amounting to Rs. 87.39/- Lakhs for which company is unable to determine fair valuation of its investments.
|
These investment in the FY 2020-21 was made by the company aiming the substantial future growth. The Management is at opinion that the fair valuation of the investment was not made by the company at the Balance Sheet date considering that this will not impact the investment value/strategy as theseinvestment are made looking at long term returns.
|

|
We draw attention to the Note No 46 to the Financial Results, which indicates that company has subsidiary ''Kavit Edible Oil Limited" which has suspended its manufacturing operations since March, 2019. Company has exposure of Rs. 123.23/- Lakhs in form of Equity and unsecured loan and company's subsidiary has negative net worth as of March 31st, 2024. These conditions raised substantial doubt about its ability as going concern.
|
Kavit Edible Oil Limited is the 80% holding subsidiary of Evexia Lifecare Limited and having direct control over its operations hence management is at opinion that the funds invested in this company are recoverable with the time. The Management considers Kavit Edible Oil Limited as going concern because the said Subsidiary Company is exploring various business opportunity and hence the negative net worth of the said company won't effect to the recovery of the funds.

|
We draw attention to the Note No 48 to the Financial Results, regarding the Company has not recognized the financial liabilities of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds amounting to Rs. 68836.11/- Lakhs at amortized cost as per the Ind AS 109 Financial instruments. Had this amortization is followed as per Ind AS 109, Profit after tax for the year and consequently Retained Earnings as at March 31st, 2024, would have been lower by Rs. 3882.52/- Lakhs.
|
The Management has taken a view that this amortization cost of Rs. 68836.11/-Lakhs of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds will be adjusted/setoff against the security premium generated against the conversion of these bonds into equity at the end of its tenure and hence this amortization will not impact the retain earnings of the company. The company has obtained expert opinion on the same and has not made any provision of the amortization in the books of accounts.
