3. MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS, IF ANY, AFFECTING THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE COMPANY WHICH HAVE OCCURRED BETWEEN THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR OF THE COMPANY TO WHICH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RELATED AND THE DATE OF THE REPORT

There are no material changes and commitments affecting financial position of the company, which occurred after the end of the financial year i.e., March 31, 2025 except the Restructuring proposal with the Lender.

The Companys financing arrangements, including restructuring efforts, have failed, resulting in overdue payments. Lenders have initiated recovery proceedings under the SARFAESI Act through the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT). The Company has not been able to finalize renegotiations or secure alternative funding. During the year, a bank sold hypothecated property worth ^9.81 crore and adjusted the proceeds against the outstanding loan; however, the Company has challenged this action at DRT and has recorded the amount under "Other Liabilities" as suspense. Management is actively engaging with lenders to develop a revival or settlement plan.

All the companys bank accounts have been frozen by the banks. This action has severely restricted the companys ability to carry out normal banking transactions, impacting its liquidity position and day-to-day operations. The company is routing all its banking transactions through third parties (including related parties).

As per provisions for trade receivables of Rs. 3,751.67 lakhs have been made, considering various factors such as past operations, follow-up with customers, and these debtors are subject to confirmations.

The Companys net worth has turned negative, and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, this, along with matters detailed in Note 33— including non-payment of salaries however paid by promotors through their own fund, ESI, PF, TDS, and cessation of manufacturing activities in the last quarter of the financial year—indicates the existence of material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

The company is engaged in the business of procurement and processing of milk and manufacturing and sale of Ghee, Butter, Milk Powder, packaged milk and other milk products. These are edible items for human consumption and have limited shelf life and are perishable in nature. As stated in the Audited Balance Sheet of March 31st, 2022, the company has been victim of a series of extraneous circumstances due to COVID-19; such as low demand on account of elongated lock downs in 2020 and 2021 which was the peak off take season, piling of inventory resulting into expiry of shelf life of the products, downward correction in the inventory prices, delay in realization of debtors. These factors have adversely impacted its cash flows and repayment capacity of the Company resultant the Company could not service its debt on time and the accounts with the bank have been classified as sub-standard by the bank. These events which were entirely beyond the control of the management have had material and adverse impact on the operations and prospects of the company.
