Statement of Cash Flows and Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to
the Standalone financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory

manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended
("Ind AS") and the other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at 31st March 2025 and its Profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income), the changes

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of
the 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 ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act
and the rules there under, 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.

Emphasis of Matter

4. Attention is invited to note no 31 in respect of recovery of Rs 54.03 Lakhs against the provisioning of certain
advances granted to farmers / growers in earlier years which were considered doubtful of recovery.

5. Attention is invited to note no 37 in respect confirmations yet to be received on certain accounts of Trade
Receivable, Trade Payable, Unsecured Loans, Employees, Loans and Advances (including advances given to

Key Audit Matters

6. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters
to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matters

Audit Procedures

Agricultural Activities

The company is engaged in the production and
processing of commercial and vegetable seeds at various
pieces of lands taken on lease from various land owners/
growers/farmers spread over throughout India. The
company enters into seed production agreements with
these farmers / growers. The company is compensating
the farmers/growers for various cultivation expenses
based upon the rate agreement entered in to. Thus, the
company is engaged in the growing of various kinds of
seeds based on the programs chalked out by the
management depending on the area, climatic
conditions, soil conditions, water resources, education
of farmers, processing facilities etc.

We have performed the following principal audit
procedures in relation to Agricultural Activities:¬
- Evaluation and understanding of Seed production
agreements.

- Verification and evaluation of the documents for
existence of land owners/farmers/growers of the
seeds on sample basis.

- Verification and evaluation of documents on
sample basis for the existence of leasehold land.

- Evaluation of the control / supervision over the
crop.

- Evaluating the appropriateness of the adequate
disclosures in accordance with the applicable
accounting standards.

Adoption of Ind AS 116 Leases

The Company has leasing arrangements for operating
leases for lands and premises (Agricultural lands, office,
stores, go-down etc.), which are cancellable and
renewable by mutual consent. The aggregate lease
rentals are charged as rent in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.

Our audit procedures on adoption of Ind AS 116 include:

- Assessed and tested processes and controls in respect
of the lease accounting standard (Ind AS 116);

- Assessed the company's evaluation on identification
of leases based on the contractual agreements and
our knowledge of the business;

- Assessed the key terms and conditions of each lease
with the under lying lease contracts and evaluation
of the lease liability.

- Assessed and tested the presentation and disclosures
relating to Ind AS 116.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

7. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report
thereon.

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

9. 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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we
have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement of this other information; we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

10. 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 (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of
the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the 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 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 financial
statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.

11. In preparing the 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.

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

13. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.

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

a. 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.

b. 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 and its subsidiary companies which are companies
incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness
of such controls.

c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.

d. 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 ability of the Company 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.

e. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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
