We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Goodricke Group Limited (the
"Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2026, and the Statement of Profit
and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement
of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to
us, 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, ("Ind AS") and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2026,
its profit and other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year
ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
("SA"s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the 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 ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the 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 matter described
below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

Bioloaical assets and Inventory of tea (Valuation)

With respect to the valuation of biological assets

As on 31st March 2026, the Company has
Biological assets representing unharvested
green tea leaves aggregating to Rs. 22.82
Millions which are measured at fair value less
costs to sell as per Ind AS 41 - Agriculture.

Finished goods of tea produced from agricultural
produce (comprises of harvested green leaves)
as at 31st March 2026 aggregating to Rs. 372.32
Millions is valued at lower of cost arrived at by
adding the cost of conversion to the fair value
of agricultural produce and the net realisable
value.

For harvested or unharvested green leaves,
since there is no active market for own leaves,
significant estimates are used by management
in determining the valuation.

and finished goods of tea (manufactured from
green leaves at its estates) as at the year-end:

• Obtained an understanding and evaluated
the design and implementation of Company's
controls around the valuation of biological
assets and inventory of tea and tested the
operating effectiveness of the same.

• Assessed the plucking yields used as an input
in determination of the fair valuation of
biological assets.

• Tested the arithmetical accuracy and
consistency of application of the fair value
approaches and methods over the years.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

We considered the fair valuation of biological
assets and finished goods of tea produced
from agricultural produce as a key audit matter
considering the assumptions about the yields,
stage of transformation and market prices of
green leaves, which is dependent upon various
market and other conditions.

Refer note no. 3(1), 3(J), 6 and 12 to the financial
statements.

• Compared the cost of the finished goods of
tea with the net realisable value and checked
if the finished goods were recorded at net
realisable value where the cost was higher
than the net realisable value.

• Tested the appropriateness of the disclosure
in the financial statements in accordance with
the applicable financial reporting framework.

Information Other than the 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 Report of the Directors and Annexures thereto, and
Management Discussion and Analysis Report, but does not include the financial statements and
our auditor's report thereon.

• Our opinion on the 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 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.

• 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows
and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including Ind AS 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board
of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial
reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 the 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 financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the 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 financial controls 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 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.
