Financial Performance Context (Explanatory Statement)
The explanatory statement provides financial context for Mr. Nihal Doshi's reappointment:
| Particular | 2025-26 | 2024-25 | 2023-24 |
| Turnover | - | ₹115.81 crore | ₹858.01 crore |

Reasons for inadequate profits: Manufacturing operations were suspended during FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 following the sale, transfer and assignment of the Company's confectionery trademarks, recipes and associated intellectual property rights to Reliance Consumer Products Limited in March 2024. The absence of manufacturing revenue meant fixed costs could not be absorbed.
Strategic direction: The Company is actively evaluating alternative uses for its manufacturing and ancillary assets and other strategic directions that may leverage its existing assets, agricultural relationships, and operational infrastructure. Until a clear strategic path is identified, revenues and operating activity are expected to remain at nominal levels.
