Auditor Report of Axita Cotton Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Axita Cotton Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other
comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 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 thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the 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

We draw attention to Note 37 of the financial statements, which describes a subsequent event wherein an export
consignment of sesame seeds amounting to Rs. 8.93 crore was rejected by the buyer due to quality concerns after the
reporting date. The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 remain unadjusted in this regard. The effect
of this event will be reflected in the financial statements of the subsequent period. As stated in the said note, this is a
non-adjusting event under the applicable financial reporting framework. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

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 period. 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 that there are no significant matters that are required to be disclosed here.

OTHER INFORMATION

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 standalone financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of standalone financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the standalone 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 a material misstatement of this
other information; we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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 and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (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 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
standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error. In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and board of directors are 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 and board of directors either intends to
liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The board of directors is also
responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 (SAs) 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 standalone financial statements.

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

i. 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.

ii. Obtain an understanding of the internal control 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 explaining our

opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

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

iv. 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 Company’s ability 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.

v. 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.

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. 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.
