s. Provisions, Contingent liabilities & Contingent assets

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions
are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be
required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.

A provisions is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one
item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability. The increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognized as
interest expense.

Contingent Liabilities

Contingent Liabilities are disclosed, unless the possibility of outflow of resources is
remote, when there is

_ A possible obligation that arises from past events, the existence of which will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity or

_ A present obligation that arises from past events whether it is either not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or reliable
estimate of the amount cannot be made

The company has disclosed the same as per the requirements of Ind AS 37
Contingent Assets

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. The Company does
not recognize the contingent asset in its standalone financial statements since this may
result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. Where an inflow of
economic benefits are probable, the company disclose a brief description of the nature
of contingent assets at the end of the reporting period. However, when the realisation
of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and the
Company recognize such assets.

t. Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which
the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees'
services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as
current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the
related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the
end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits
are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that
have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements
as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months
after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected
to occur.

(iii) Post- employment obligations

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and

(b) defined contribution plans such as Provident fund, Employee State Insurance
and Superannuation fund

Gratuity obligations

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit
gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the
reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is
calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated by discounting
the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of
the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the
terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance
of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is
included in employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and
changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur,
directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in
the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan
amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past
service cost.

Defined contribution plans

In accordance with Indian law, The company operate a scheme of gratuity which
is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to
vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination
of employment in accordance with the provisions under the Code on Social
Security, 2020 or as per the Company Scheme, as applicable. Vesting occurs
upon completion of contractual period of continuous years of service as defined
in the Code on Social Security,2020. The gratuity plan is a funded plan. The
Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding
to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity
payments.

The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered
Provident funds and Employee State Insurance funds as per local regulations.
The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have
been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and
the contributions are recognised as employee benefits expense when they are
due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash
refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Superannuation Scheme
(administered through a 'Superannuation Trust' formed by the Company) is a
defined contribution plans, where the Company has no further obligations under
the plan beyond its monthly/ quarterly contributions.

(iv) Bonus plans

The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Company
recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past
practice that has created a constructive obligation.

u. Contributed Equity

Equity shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as
a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

v. Dividends

Dividend paid during the year being appropriately authorized and no longer at the
discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period and distributed
during reporting period is accounted.

w. Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners
of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the financial year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic
earnings per share to take into account:

- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated
with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have
been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares.

x. Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to
the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

y. Non-current asset’s held for sale and/or discontinued operations

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying
amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal
group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms
that are usual and customary for sales of such asset (or disposal group) and its sale
is highly probable. The Management must be committed to the sale, which should be
expected to qualify for recognition as completed sale within one year from the date of
classification.

When the Group is committed to sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all
of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the
criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non¬
controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets held for sale/for distribution to owners and disposal groups are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell/
distribute. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale/ distribution are presented
separately in the balance sheet. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
once classified as held for sale/ distribution to owners are not depreciated or amortised.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are
presented as a single amount as profit or loss before tax from discontinued operations
in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment, or a
portion of an investment, in an associate, the investment or the portion of the investment

that will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the criteria described above
are met, and the Group discontinues the use of the equity method in relation to the
portion that is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion of an investment in an
associate that has not been classified as held for sale continues to be accounted for
using the equity method. The Group discontinues the use of the equity method at the
time of disposal when the disposal results in the Group losing significant influence over
the associate or joint venture.

After the disposal takes place, the Group accounts for any retained interest in the
associate in accordance with Ind AS 109 unless the retained interest continues to be an
associate, in which case the Group uses the equity method (see the accounting policy
regarding investments in associates above).

Non- current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at
the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell

2025 - Rs. 544.75 Lakhs)

(iii) Defined benefit Plans

In accordance with Indian law, The company operate a scheme of gratuity which is a defined
benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement,
death while in employment or on termination of employment in accordance with the provisions
under the Code on Social Security, 2020 or as per the Company Scheme, as applicable. Vesting
occurs upon completion of contractual period of continuous years of service as defined in the
Code on Social Security,2020. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are
eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement / termination is the employee's
last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the
number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan. The Company does not fully fund
the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based
on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

(iii) Post employment benefit Plans

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Code on Social Security, 2020.
Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years. Further, Fixed Term Employee
(FTE) are eligible for gratuity upon rendering service under the contract for a period of one year
from the commencement of the contract in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Code.. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement / termination is the employee's last drawn
basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of
years of service. The gratuity scheme of the Company is an unfunded defined benefit plan and no
separate gratuity fund has been created by the Company. The gratuity liability is determined on
the basis of an actuarial valuation carried out at the reporting date using the Projected Unit Credit
Method.

The amounts recognised in the balance sheet and the movements in the defined benefit obliga¬
tion over the year are as follows:

Impact of new labour code

Effective November 21, 2025, the Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour
legislations into a unified framework comprising of four Labour Codes- the Code on Wages, 2019,
the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational
Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. On the basis of information and guidance
available as on date, the Company has assessed and duly recorded the incremental financial im¬
pact of the above amounting Rs. 851.41 Lakhs for the year ended March 31st, 2026. This increase
pertains to the provision for gratuity and leave encashment, which has been recognised as an em¬
ployee benefit expense. The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central and State
Rules, as well as Government clarifications regarding other aspects of the Labour Codes.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other as¬
sumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions
may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant
actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calcu¬
lated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied
as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the prior period.

(vii) Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most signifi¬
cant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond
yields; if plan assets under perform this yield, this will create a deficit. The Company's plan assets
are insurer managed funds and are subject to less material risk.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

The carrying amount of the current financial assets and current financial liabilities are considered
to be same as their fair values, due to their short term nature. In absence of specified maturity
period, the carrying amount of the non-current financial assets and non-current financial liabilities
such as security deposits, are considered to be same as their fair values.

The fair value of quoted equity investments, has been classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierar¬
chy as the fair value has been determined on the basis of market value. The fair value of unquoted
equity instruments has been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value has
been determined on the basis of discounted cash flows. The fair value of mutual funds is classi¬
fied as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value has been determined on the basis of Net
Assets Value (NAV) declared by the mutual fund. The fair value of Financial derivative contracts
has been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value has been determined on
the basis of mark-to-market provided by the Bank from which the contract has been entered. The
corresponding changes in fair value of investment is disclosed as 'Other Income'.

Trade payables are reclassified as outstanding expenses and trade payables.

The Company's risk management is carried out by the JMD under policies approved by the Risk
Management Committe a sub-committe of the Board of Directors. The Committe provides guid¬
ing principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as inter¬
est rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess liquidity.

Credit Risk

(i) Credit Risk Management

Credit risk can be classified as credit exposure to customers including outstanding receiv¬
ables and risk arising from cash & cash equivalents, loans, security deposits and deposits
with banks and financial statements.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, loans, security deposits and deposits with
banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstand¬
ing receivables.

Credit risk is managed by the Sr.General Manager (Mktg) of the Avanti Feeds Limited. The
Company has few customer with most of them being foreign customers. The Company pro¬
vides a credit period of 60-90 days which is in line with the normal industry practice.

The Company undertakes the credit analysis of each customer before transacting. The fi¬
nance team under the guidance of Sr.GM (Mktg) also reviews the credit rating of the custom¬
ers credit periodically and follow up on long outstanding invoices.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an on going basis through
out each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the
Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with
the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and
supportive forwarding-looking information. The below factors are considered:

- external credit rating (as far as available)

- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic con¬
ditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower's ability to meet
its obligations.

- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower.

- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower.

- Significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, in¬
cluding changes in the payment status of the borrower in the Company and changes in
operating results of the borrower.

Macro economic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or
growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model. In general, it is pre¬
sumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the pay¬
ments are more than 180 days past due.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual pay¬
ments within 365 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by
considering the business environment in which the entity operates and other macro¬
economic factors.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations
associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial
asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it
will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and
stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Com¬
pany's reputation.

The Joint Managing Director monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position
and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows and any excess/short
liquidity is managed in the form of current borrowings, bank deposits and investment in mu¬
tual funds.
