In addition to in-house manufacturing, we also undertake white label manufacturing of Handmade Papads for clients, wherein products are produced by the Company and marketed by clients under their respective brand names and packaging, tailored to their target market. This combination of in-house and white label manufacturing enables the Company to leverage its production, optimize capacity utilization, diversify revenue streams and maintain consistent demand.

Furthermore, the Company is engaged in the trading of Cereal Pellets where these products are sourced and traded by the Company under its own brand, complementing its manufacturing operations and providing an additional revenue stream.

While handmade papads continue to represent a significant share of our revenue, we have invested in machine-based production to enhance scalability, consistency, and hygiene standards.

Our Company name and its history:

Our journey began in 2012 with a small retail venture, "Vishal Namkeen Bhandar", a sole proprietorship firm located in Rani Bazar, Bikaner, Rajasthan. It was founded by Mr. Jai Agarwal with a commitment to manufacture and sell handmade papads and focus on maintaining product quality and traditional methods of preparation. The business grew steadily, introducing a variety of new papad offerings and continually introducing diverse flavors to meet evolving consumer preferences, all while staying true to the rich tradition of papad-making. The operations of the proprietorship business formed the foundation for the present business of Papadmalji Agro Foods Limited, which continues to be engaged in the production and marketing of papads across India.

Papad is more than just a food item in Indian homes - it is a symbol of togetherness, tradition, and celebration. It holds a special place in religious ceremonies, festivals, and traditional feasts, forming a silent yet essential part of countless cherished memories. Yet, despite its importance, papad often goes unnoticed. We dreamed of changing that - of honouring this timeless culinary tradition and making "papad" a name that every household would recognize and celebrate. Today, papad has moved beyond homes and rituals to become a regular item in hotels, restaurants, and catering services, embraced as a popular snack and accompaniment in everyday dining.

With this vision in mind, we set out to create a brand "Papadmalji" - a brand that captures the essence of authenticity, quality, and the heartfelt warmth of tradition that would not only celebrate the heritage of papad-making but also elevate it to a household name - and proudly registered it as our device mark on March 30, 2017. Inspired by our brand identity and driven by an unwavering commitment to preserving the true spirit of papad-making and ensuring our tradition of excellence reaches every household, we formally incorporated Papadmalji Agro Foods Private Limited on December 19, 2017 with the Registrar of Companies, Central Registration Centre, Manesar.

We subsequently acquired the business of sole proprietorship firm "Vishal Namkeen Bhandar" pursuant to a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) dated February 17, 2018, on a slump sale basis, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the BTA. Pursuant to the execution of the BTA, our Compa8ny acquired all assets and liabilities relating to the business as on the effective date of the BTA.

Through our journey, our Company has drawn on its deep understanding of target markets and consumer segments, combined with strong capabilities in product innovation, an extensive distribution network, and strategically located manufacturing facilities, to strengthen its brand presence across India. Through consistent marketing and promotional efforts, we have established a name, synonymous with authenticity, quality, and tradition.

Our operations are carried out through two manufacturing units located in Bikaner, Rajasthan, which are FSSAI licensed. with Gharsisar Unit also certified under ISO 22000:2018. Handmade papad production is carried out through the Batara-Batari model governed through Batara Agreement, involving contractors (Bataras) who supervise women workers (Bataris) engaged in home-based hand rolling of papads. Machine-based production has been introduced to support scalability, standardization, and hygiene in production. We source raw materials, including urad dal, moong dal, spices, and edible oils, from domestic markets, primarily within Rajasthan.

Our products are marketed under the brands "Zhakaas", "Vishal", "Rozana", "Diamond" and "Papadmalji" and are distributed through a pan-India network of distributors, wholesalers as well as through modern trade channels, quick commerce paltform, including our direct-to-consumer platform. Our products are also supplied to markets in the Middle East through a merchant exporter. As of June 30, 2025, our products were sold in 20 states and 2 Union Territories in India. The Company is promoted by Mr. Jai Agarwal, who has experience of more than a decade in the papad industry, and Mrs. Prem Lata Agarwal, who serves as Whole-time Director, has experience of over a decade in the papad industry. Our Promoters are responsible for the overall strategic direction, management and control of the affairs along with overseeing the day-to-day operations of our Company.

REVIEW OF RESTATED FINANCIALS

Long / Short Term Borrowings: Our borrowings mainly include cash credit loan, secured term loan and vehicle loan, availed to support day to day operational requirement. Our long-term borrowings has decreased from U287.13 lakhs in FY 2023-24 to Rs.168.87 lakhs in FY 2024-25, and further decreased to Rs.95.87 lakhs in FY 2025-26. The decrease in long-term borrowings during FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 were primarily due to partial repayment and optimization of borrowings. Similarly, our short-term borrowings, decrease from Rs.740.70 lakhs to Rs.728.25 lakhs between FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25, but increased to Rs.902.69 lakhs in FY 2025-26. Short-term borrowings are largely in the form of working capital facilities such as cash credit, taken to support the increased scale of operations and higher working capital cycle requirements. The marginal reduction in FY 2024-25 indicates improved internal accruals and better working capital management despite growth in volumes. Emphasis will continue on improving operating cash flows, thereby gradually reducing dependence on high-cost borrowing. Further, In FY 2025-26 the sanction limit of cash credit has been revised and increased to Rs.890.00 lakhs form existing Rs.695.00 lakhs in FY 2024-25 due to requirement of working capital of the company.

Trade Receivables: Trade receivables have grown in line with the expansion in sales volumes and customer base, reflecting the overall business growth. Our trade receivables rose from Rs. 120.48 lakhs in FY 2023-24 to U290.77 lakhs in FY 2024-25, which further increase to Rs.344.33 lakhs in FY 2025-26, largely driven by increase in revenue from operations during the FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26. The Company recorded a healthy growth in sales, reaching Rs.3,353.48 lakhs in FY 2025-26, compared to Rs.3,175.09 lakhs in FY 2024-25.

The company follows a prudent credit policy, extending credit selectively to trusted customers while closely monitoring debtor ageing. Regular follow-ups and a robust collection mechanism ensure timely realization of dues, thereby minimizing the risk of bad debts. The receivable cycle has been managed efficiently, demonstrating strong working capital discipline even in a high- growth phase.

Trade Payables: Trade payables reflect the companys outstanding obligations towards suppliers of raw materials, packaging materials, and other inputs. The increase over the last three years corresponds to the expansion in operations and higher inventory purchases required to support revenue growth. Our Trade Payables increased from Rs. 321.88 lakhs to Rs. 481.36 lakhs from FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25 and further increased to Rs. 486.86 lakhs in the FY 2025-26. Due to purchase of inventories and growth in operation, the growth in payables is in line with the companys procurement strategy, reflecting efficient supplier credit utilization. The company enjoys healthy relationships with suppliers, which enables it to secure adequate credit periods without straining liquidity.

Unsecured Loans from Promoters

During Fiscal 2025, the Company availed unsecured loans aggregating to Rs.458.40 lakhs from certain Promoters to support its short-term working capital requirements. These loans were extended on a need-basis to address temporary liquidity gaps arising from increased scale of operations, higher inventory holding, and extended credit periods offered to customers in the ordinary course of business.

As the Companys operational cash flows strengthened and internal accruals improved during the year, the Company repaid an aggregate amount of Rs.672.42 lakhs to the Promoters in Fiscal 2025, which included repayment of loans availed during the year as well as outstanding balances from earlier periods.

The unsecured loans from Promoters have historically served as a flexible and timely source of funding, enabling the Company to manage its working capital cycle efficiently. These transactions were undertaken on mutually agreed commercial terms and have been appropriately disclosed in the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Inventories: Inventories represent a critical element of the companys working capital, facilitating uninterrupted supply of raw materials supports smooth production and timely order fulfilment of finished goods to meet customer demand.

While inventories rose significantly between FY 2024 to FY 2026, sales also witnessed healthy growth momentum, in FY 2026. The inventory build-up was a strategic measure to support anticipated demand, minimize supply disruptions, and manage raw material price volatility.

During Fiscal 2024, the Companys inventory increased significantly primarily due to a strategic build-up of raw materials and finished goods to support anticipated supplies to institutional customers, including the proposed onboarding with Kendriya Police Kalyan Bhandar (KPKB), and the expansion of distribution through modern trade and newly opened channels of existing customers. The Company undertook higher procurement of key raw materials to ensure production continuity and timely fulfilment of expected orders, which also led to a corresponding increase in finished goods inventory. While Revenue from Operations grew moderately by 5.12%, the inventory levels rose by 67% (from Rs. 879.23 lakhs in Fiscal 2023 to Rs. 1,468.97 lakhs in Fiscal 2024) in advance of sales realization due to longer supply cycles and stocking requirements associated with modern trade and institutional channels. Consequently, the increase in inventory during Fiscal 2024 was largely operational and forward-looking in nature, arising from planned procurement and production aligned with demand visibility, resulting in a temporary working capital cycle mismatch rather than any slowdown in demand or operational inefficiency.

Loans and Advances given: The companys short-term loans and advances primarily comprise advances to suppliers and employees and balances with government authorities. Short-term loans and advances increased from Rs.10.48 lakhs in FY 2023-24 to ^11.27 lakhs in FY 2024-25, although, advances to suppliers and advances to employees were significantly reduced from Rs.6.77 lakhs and U2.47 lakhs to Rs.0.53 lakhs and Rs. 0.28 lakhs, the income tax assets was significantly increased from Rs.1.24 lakhs to Rs.10.46 lakhs in FY 2024-25 from FY 2023-24. In FY 2025-26, short-term loans and advances increased to Rs.34.48 lakhs from ^11.27 lakhs in FY 2024-25, due to increase in advancve paid to employees by Rs. 285.50 lakhs and advance paid to vendors by Rs.5.17 lakhs. The company will continue to minimize non-core advances and ensure faster recovery/settlement of balances with statutory authorities.

Contingent Liability: The company received demand notice from income tax department under section 147 on March 30 2024 amounting to Rs. 276.84 Lakhs. The company has filed an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) challenging the demand. As on the date of this report, the matter is pending adjudication before the Commissioner (Appeals).

Performance of White Labelling Business Segment

"Revenue from the White Labelling segment decreased from Rs.515.08 lakhs (20.61% of total revenue from operations) in Fiscal 2023 to Rs.145.60 lakhs (4.59% of total revenue from operations) in Fiscal 2025, representing a decline of approximately 71.7%. The decline was primarily due to a strategic shift in focus towards strengthening the Companys own branded product portfolio and expanding its distribution network, including increased penetration in modern trade and organized retail. White labelling arrangements generally offer lower margins and limited brand visibility compared to in-house branded products.

Accordingly, the reduction reflects a deliberate business decision to prioritize higher-margin and sustainable growth segments. The Company may continue selective white labelling assignments; however, this segment is not expected to constitute a significant portion of revenue going forward.

Decrease under the other expenses in terms of total income includes (i) Power and Fuel expenses decrease from 3.37% of total income in FY 2024 to 2.91% of total income in FY 2025 due to decrease in expenses for biomass fuel pellets by Rs. 10.25 lakhs which was compensated by other fuel options such as petrol and diesel (ii) Contractual charges paid decrease from 8.20% in FY 2024 to 6.03% in FY 2025 mainly due to decrease in Batara charges by Rs. 20.33 lakhs, which reduced from Rs.210.65 lakhs in fiscal 2024 to Rs.190.32 lakhs in fiscal 2025, (iii) Reduction in expenses of Repairs & maintenance of installed plant & machineries by Rs.3.23 lakhs, from Rs.12.89 lakhs in the fiscal 2024 to Rs.9.66 lakhs in the fiscal 2024 representing decrease of 0.49% of total income in FY 2024 to 0.30% of total income in FY

2025; (iv) reduction of insurance expenses in term of percentage total income by 0.13% to 0.11% which is not directly related to total income (v) decrease in rent expenses in term of percentage of total income from 0.20% in FY 2024 to 0.17% in FY 2025 which is not directly related to sale (vi) Decrease in travelling expenses in term of percentage on total income from 0.30% in FY 2024 to 0.27% in FY 2025 (vii) Freight charges decrease in terms of total income from 2.88% in FY 2024 to 2.53% in FY 2025 due to reduction in transport expenses to unregistered transport agencies which is compensated by other transport modes (iii) Bad debts written off decreased to Rs.0.15 lakhs in the fiscal 2025 from Rs.l.91 lakhs in the fiscal 2024, representing reduction in loss of bad debt during the year by Rs.l.l6 Lakhs. In terms of total income this represent decrease by 0.30% in FY to almost nil in FY 2025.

Hence, the aggregate impact of changes in items specified in Other Expenses head reduced the cost in terms of total income from 17.20% in FY 2024 to 14.52% in FY 2024, which is impacting to increase the PAT margin by 2.69% in FY 2025.

The increase in the Companys Profit After Tax ("PAT") margin in Fiscal 2025 was also driven by improved cost optimisation and operating efficiencies across major expense heads and improved procurement efficiencies, and enhanced operational execution resulted in higher PAT for fiscal 2025.

Revenue from operations increased by Rs.54l.90 lakhs from Rs.2,62l.19 lakhs in fiscal 2024 to Rs.3,1l5.09 lakhs in fiscal 2025, registering a growth of approximately 20.85% over Fiscal 2024, mainly attributable to expansion of the customer base in the modern trade and quick-commerce segments, execution of new vendor registrations, extension of credit terms to select customers, expansion in sale to newly opened distribution channels of existing customers under the modern trade segment and effective capture of seasonal and industry-wide demand.

Profit/(Loss) for the year

472.4 4 14.8 8% 210.7 6 8.02 % 6. 86 % 261. 68 124. 16%

While, sales volumes improved, the Company achieved a reduction in cost of material consumption and overall cost of production (Cost of Material Consumed, Purchase of Stock-In-Trade and Changes in inventories of finished goods and Stock-in-Trade) as a percentage of total income from 59.82% in FY 2024 to 56.73% in FY 2025 representing decrease by 3.09%, which in turn increase the Profit margin by same ratio.

Employee benefit expenses rose on account of annual salary increments; however, their proportion to total income declined. Hence, reduction of Employees Benefit Expenses by 0.45% in terms of percentage of total income in FY 2025 from FY 2024 impacted to increase in PAT Margin.

Finance costs increased marginally in absolute terms but reduced as a percentage of total income due to partial repayment of borrowings. Hence, reduction of finance cost by 0.34% in terms of percentage of total income in FY 2025 from FY 2024 impacted to increase in PAT Margin.

Depreciation expenses remained largely stable, however, in term of percentage of total income the depreciation expenses reduced from 1.28% to 1.11% due to effective reduction in written down value of the existing tangible assets by Rs. 12.61 lakhs which was Rs. 380.69 lakhs in FY 2024 and Rs. 368.8 lakhs in FY 2025. Hence, reduction of depreciation & amortisation expenses by 0.18% in terms of percentage of total income in FY 2025 from FY 2024 impacted to increase in PAT Margin.

While other operating expenses declined materially as a percentage of total income owing to reductions in power and fuel expenses, contractual charges, Repair and Maintenance - Plant and Machinery, Insurance Expenses, Rent expenses, Travelling Expenses, Freight Outward, bad-debt write-offs, and certain administrative and maintenance expenses. Hence, the aggregate impact of changes in items specified in Other Expenses head reduced the cost in terms of total income from 17.20% in FY 2024 to 14.52% in FY 2024, which is impacting to increase the PAT margin by 2.69% in FY 2025.

Consequently, the combined impact of strong top-line growth, improved product mix, controlled operating expenditures, resulted in a significant improvement in the Companys PAT margin during Fiscal 2025 from 8.02% in FY 2024 to 14.88% in FY 2025.

Further, the net profit during the year also increases due to increase in average profit margin of Papad and Rice Papad Segment. The average profit margin for Papad products increased from 28.65% in fiscal 2024 to 31.68% in fiscal 2025, reflecting higher margins across brands supported by improved contribution margins on both general and modern trade. Similarly, the average profit margin for Rice Papad products increased from 29.05% in fiscal 2024 to 31.04% in fiscal 2025, primarily due to improved realisations and better cost absorption across variants. The improvement in product-level margins contributed positively to the overall profitability of the Company and supported the increase in net profit during FY 2025.

Consequently, the cumulative impact of the aforesaid factors i.e. improvement mainly attributable to higher operating revenues supported by higher sales volumes and better utilization of available liquidity resulted in an increase in the Companys net profit margin where the Profit after tax (PAT) increased from Rs.210.76 lakhs (8.02%) in fiscal 2024 to Rs.472.44 lakhs (14.88%) in fiscal 2025.

The cost of materials consumed at Rs.1,609.53 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2025, as compared to Rs.1,520.75 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2024, reflecting an increase of Rs. 88.78 lakhs i.e. 5.84%. During the same period, revenue from operations increased from Rs. 2,627.19 lakhs in FY 2023-24 to Rs.3,175.09 lakhs in FY 2024-25, showing a growth of 20.85%. Since the increase in cost is lower than the increase in revenue, the Company has achieved improved gross margins and enhanced operational efficiency in FY 2024-25 over FY 2023-24.

Solvency Risk

Historically, the Company has financed the expansion of its business operations through a combination of internal accruals and bank borrowings. The Companys borrowings are secured by way of charge over current assets, including inventories and trade receivables, together with personal guarantees provided by the Promoters.

During the fiscals under review, our Company reported low Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), as 3.99x, 2.45x, and 2.50x for fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Our Company experienced sub-optimal capacity utilization of its installed manufacturing facilities, which constrained revenue generation and operating cash flows in the initial years following expansion. Further, the extension of longer credit periods to certain customers and comparatively higher inventory levels maintained during expansion phases resulted in temporary working capital pressure, thereby affecting liquidity and cash flows available for debt servicing. These factors collectively contributed to a lower Debt Service Coverage Ratio in the said periods.

In order to strengthen its solvency position and improve its Debt Service Coverage Ratio to a sustainable level, the Company has undertaken and/or proposes to undertake the following measures:

1. Capacity Optimization: Progressive improvement in utilization levels of installed capacity through enhanced production planning and increased market penetration.

2. Debt Rationalization: Prepayment and/or reduction of a portion of outstanding borrowings, including through utilization of a part of the Issue proceeds, with a view to aligning repayment obligations with expected cash flow generation.

3. Working Capital Management: Strengthening receivable collection mechanisms, implementation of tighter customer credit evaluation policies, and optimization of inventory levels to improve liquidity.

4. Revenue Diversification: Expansion into higher-margin product categories and entry into new geographic markets to enhance profitability and cash accruals via modern trade segment.

The management believes that the aforesaid initiatives, coupled with the anticipated growth in revenues and operating margins, are expected to result in a gradual and sustainable improvement in operating cash flows and the Companys overall debt servicing capability in the forthcoming fiscal periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

We have been able to finance our capital requirements and the expansion of our business and operations through a Combination of funds generated from our operations, equity infusions from shareholders and debt financing, and we expect to continue to do so.
