You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our Restated Financial Information included in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus. You should also read the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 33, which discusses several factors, risks and contingencies that could affect our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion relates to our Company and is based on our restated financial information, which have been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP, the Companies Act and the SEBI Regulations. Portions of the following discussion are also based on internally prepared statistical information and on other sources. Our financial year ends on March 31 of each year. Accordingly, all references to a particular financial year (‘Financial Year or ‘FY) relate to the twelve-month period ended March 31 of that year.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP, the Companies Act and the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations and restated as described in the examination report issued of our statutory auditor dated December 27, 2025 which is included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus under the section titled "Restated Financial Statement" beginning on page 184 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

Our Company is engaged in the business of seed manufacturing, which includes the development, multiplication, processing, and supply of seeds for a variety of field crops and vegetables. The seed production process is carried out in a structured manner across multiple stages and involves the use of improved genetic seed material procured from recognised sources. Such seed material is multiplied, processed, conditioned, and handled in accordance with prescribed agronomic and processing practices to produce seeds suitable for agricultural use, including seeds supplied to farmers for crop cultivation.

The Company procures genetic seed material, including breeder and other suitable seed material, from recognised agricultural institutions, government-supported research organizations and open market. In addition, seed production is undertaken through arrangements with identified seed-growing farmers, wherein agricultural land owned by such farmers is utilised for cultivation. Under these arrangements, the Company supplies the requisite seed material and provides technical guidelines and cultivation protocols. The farmers carry out sowing and related agricultural operations in accordance with the Companys instructions, while the Companys field staff and agronomists monitor and supervise the crop to maintain quality standards. Although the ownership of agricultural land remains with the farmers, seed production undertaken through contractual arrangements is carried out in accordance with the Companys prescribed guidelines and supervision, and all subsequent processing, quality control, and commercial activities relating to such seeds are undertaken by the Company.

Post-harvest, the cultivated seeds are transported to the Companys processing facility, where they undergo a series of controlled operations, including mechanical cleaning to remove inert matter and impurities, precision grading to ensure uniformity, and seed treatment to enhance storability and protect against pests and diseases. Thereafter, the processed seeds are systematically packed using appropriate packaging standards to preserve quality, viability, and genetic characteristics prior to storage and distribution. The Companys seed processing unit is located at Jashapar, Kalavad, in Jamnagar District and is equipped with modern infrastructure spread across an area of over 10,218 square feet.

Our Company presently works with a limited number of contract seed-growing farmers under formal arrangements. However, our Company is not dependent exclusively on such contract farmers for seed availability. In cases of operational requirements, crop-specific demand, or supply constraints, the Company also procures seeds directly from farmers and the open market. Such procured seeds are thereafter subjected to sorting, cleaning, grading, processing, quality checks, labelling, and packing at the Companys processing facility before being sold in the market.

Our team comprises experienced agronomists, field staff, and technicians who ensure adherence to quality standards, support productivity improvements, and implement sustainable agricultural practices. Over time, our Company has established strong working relationships with the farming community and continues to follow an integrated approach that includes sourcing, production, quality control, and supply of seeds. Our seeds are sold under the brand name "Dhanwel Seeds". Our Company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and is committed to maintaining consistent seed quality and supporting the agricultural sector with reliable seed solutions.

Our Companys Long-Term Borrowings stood at Rs. 158.11 lakhs as of June 30, 2025, compared to Rs. 85.15 lakhs as of March 31, 2025, reflecting a significant increase of 85.68%. This increase is primarily due to the disbursement of loans and credit facilities availed from Kotak Mahindra Bank, along with the company securing new loan and credit facilities from ICICI Bank. The shift to ICICI Banks facilities led to the rise in Long-Term Borrowings. Furthermore, Long-Term Borrowings as of March 31, 2025, amounted to Rs. 85.15 lakhs, whereas the Company did not have any long-term loan obligations as of March 31, 2024.

In the earlier periods, Trade Payables have increased by 537.88% from 25.05 Lakhs as on March 31, 2023 to 159.79 Lakhs as on March 31, 2024 mainly due to increased purchases and procurement during the year and new supplier relationships.

Inventories

As of June 30, 2025, the Companys Inventory stood at Rs. 615.16 lakhs, marking a significant decrease from Rs. 1,239.34 lakhs as of March 31, 2025. This sharp reduction of 50.32% is primarily attributed to the Companys ongoing efforts to optimize inventory levels and improve working capital management and completion of order in hand from March 2025. The higher inventory levels as of March 31, 2025, were mainly driven by bulk purchases to fulfill large work orders, enabling the company to clear excess stock.

The increase in receivables indicates the Companys expanding customer base and its strategic decision to offer more flexible payment terms, enabling customers to make purchases on credit. Furthermore, Trade Receivables had decreased by -87.04%, from Rs. 273.16 lakhs as of March 31, 2024, to Rs. 35.46 lakhs as of March 31, 2025. This reduction was likely due to successful collection efforts, changes in credit policies, or a reduction in credit sales during FY 2024-25. When compared to March 31, 2023, Trade Receivables increased significantly from Rs. 49.58 lakhs to Rs. 273.16 lakhs as of March 31, 2024, reflecting a rise of 449.36%.

Such short-term cash absorption is indicative of a business in a build-up phase, not operational weakness.
