Independent Auditor's Report

Report on audit of the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Crop Life Science Limited ('the Company'), which
comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other
comprehensive income), Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash flows for the year ended on
that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies, notes forming part of financial statements and
other explanatory information (herein after referred to as “Ind AS financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the
effects of the matters described in the 'Basis for Opinion' section of our report, the aforesaid 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 -II
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023 the profit and
total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of Ind AS Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Ind AS financial statements under the
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules 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 opinion on Ind AS 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 year. 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.

In addition to the matter described in the Emphasis of matter section we do not have any matters to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 48(5) of the Financial statements regarding advances given to the entity controlled
by KMP or their relative. The company has provided advance to entities controlled by KMP during the previous
financial years, potentially violating Sec 185 & Sec 186 of the Companies Act 2013. Interest was not charged on

the same and hence the company has filed a compounding petition with MCA to rectify the situation and has
charged interest at the RBI's prevailing rate in the Financial Year 2022-23.

We draw attention that the balances of Trade receivable or Trade payables & advances thereof are subject to
confirmation, restatement & reconciliations if any.

Information Other than Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to
Board's Report, but does not include Ind AS financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. _mJd

Our opinion on the Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS financial ^
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's and Board of Director's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, change in equity and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and accounting principles
generally accepted in India, specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules,2015, as amended. 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 Ind AS financial
statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of Financial Statement

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements as a whole are >
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from

fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Ind AS financial statements.

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

• The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal 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
Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
company has internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements 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 Ind AS financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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. ^—
