INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS WITH REFERENCE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
Pursuant to Section 134(5)(e) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 8(5)(viii) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the Board of Directors hereby confirms that the Company has adopted adequate internal financial controls (IFC) with reference to the financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2025. These controls are designed to ensure the reliability of financial reporting, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and the safeguarding of assets, including the Companys total assets of Rs. 1,678.97 lakhs and inventory of Rs. 219.16 lakhs.
The Company has implemented an Internal Financial Control Policy, which includes procedures for maintaining the confidentiality of price-sensitive information, authorizing transactions, and preventing fraud. Key controls encompass regular reconciliations of accounts, periodic inventory verifications (resulting in a 35% reduction from Rs. 337.20 lakhs to Rs. 219.16 lakhs), and segregation of duties within the finance team.

REPORTING OF FRAUD :
Pursuant to Section 143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 13 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, the Board of Directors confirms that there were no instances of fraud reported by the Statutory Auditors, Secretarial Auditor, or any other personnel during the financial year ended March 31,2025, that required reporting to the Audit Committee or the Central Government. This is consistent with the Auditors Report under Section 143(3)(xii), which states that no fraud by the Company or on the Company by its officers or employees was noticed or reported during the year.

RISK MANAGEMENT:
Pursuant to Section 134(3)(n) of the Companies Act, 2013, the Board of Directors confirms that the Company has established mechanisms to inform Board members about risk assessment and minimization procedures. These mechanisms are part of an ongoing risk management process designed to ensure that executive management controls risks through a properly defined framework, tailored to the Companys operations and financial position for FY 2024-25.
The Company identifies key risks, including inventory management (reduced from Rs. 337.20 lakhs to Rs. 219.16 lakhs), liquidity risks from borrowings of Rs. 70,509,047, and market competition, with mitigation strategies such as regular inventory audits, prudent borrowing management, and cost optimization. The Audit Committee periodically reviews these risk mitigation measures, ensuring alignment with the Companys net profit of Rs. 23,59,062 and total assets of Rs. 1,678.97 lakhs.
The Board has not constituted a Risk Management Committee, as it is not mandatory under Regulation 21 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015, given the Companys exemption under Regulation 15(2) (due to paid-up capital, net worth, and turnover below Rs. 10 crore, Rs. 25 crore, and Rs. 25 crore respectively, with turnover of Rs. 287.60 lakhs). Instead, the Board and Audit Committee periodically evaluate the risk management system, with Heads of Departments responsible for implementing risk controls in their respective areas (e.g., production, finance) and reporting to the Board and Audit Committee. The framework is reviewed annually, with no significant lapses noted during FY 2024-25.

The Company is exposed to a variety of different laws, regulations, positions and interpretations thereof which encompasses direct taxation and legal matters. In the normal course of business, provisions and contingencies may arise due to uncertain tax positions and legal matters.
Based on the nature of matters, the management applies significant judgement when considering evaluation of risk, including how much to provide for the potential exposure of each of the matters. These estimates could change substantially over time as new facts emerge as each matter progresses, hence these are reviewed regularly. For matters where expert opinion is required, the Company involves the best legal counsel.

The Company has adopted a Policy for Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace under the provisions of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 ("Act").
