We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgment were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and informing our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to becommunicated in our report.
The Key Audit Matter | Auditors Response |
Determination of fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce as at the year ended March 312022 | We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls as established by the management in determination of the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce used in the production of finished goods (Made Tea). |
(Refer to the accompanying note no. 11 & 12 forming integral part of the Financial Statements). | We considered various factors including the actual selling price prevailing around and subsequent to the year end including technical factors stated by management which determine the quality and hence the fair value of biological assets. |
As on March 312022 the Company has biological assets with the carrying value of Rs. 40.38 lakhs and finished goods of made tea produced from green leaves harvested from own gardens ("agricultural produce") & finished goods of made tea produced from bought green leaves with carrying value of Rs. 79.13 lakhs. | Based on the above procedures performed the management's determination of the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce used in the production of finished goods (Made Tea) as at the year-end and comparison with net realisable value of inventory is considered to be reasonable. |
The biological assets and agricultural produce used in the production of finished goods (Made Tea) are stated at fair value less costs to sell. Such Inventory of Made Tea is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. | |
We considered the valuation of biological assets and agricultural produce used in the production of finished goods (Made Tea) as a key audit matter given the significant judgement involved in the consideration of factors used in the determination of fair value of such agricultural produce. | |
Accuracy of recognition measurement presentation and disclosures of revenues and other related balances in view of adoption of Ind AS 116 "Leases". | |
Ind AS 116 introduces a lease accounting model wherein lessees are required to recognise a right- of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability arising from a lease on the balance sheet unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. The lease liabilities are initially measured by discounting future lease payments during the lease term as per the contract/ arrangement. Adoption of the standard involves significant judgements and estimates including determination of the discount rates and the lease term and hence considered as a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures on adoption of Ind AS 116 include: |
As described in Note no. 5 to the financial statements the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 Leases (Ind AS 116) in the financial year 2019-20. The application to this accounting standard is complex and is an area of focus in our audit since the Company's has a large number of leases with different contractual terms. | - Assessed and tested new processes and controls in respect of the lease accounting standard (Ind AS 116). |
| - Assessed the Company's evaluation on the identification of lease based on the contractual agreements and our knowledge of the business. |
| - Involved our specialists to evaluate the reasonableness of the discount rates applied in determining the lease liabilities |
| - Tested completeness of the lease data by reconciling the Company's operating lease commitments to data used in computing ROU asset and lease liabilities. |
| - On a statistical sample we performed the following procedures: |
| - Assessed the key terms and conditions of lease with the underlying lease contracts; and |
| - Evaluated computation of lease liabilities and challenged the key estimates such as discount rates and the lease term. |
| Assessed and tested the presentation and disclosures relating to Ind AS 116. |

The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the information included in the Company'sannual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditors' reportthereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information andwe do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements our responsibility is to readthe other information and in doing so consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in theaudit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If based on the work we haveperformed we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters statedin Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the state of affairs ( financial position) profit orloss ( financial performance including other comprehen- sive income) changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified underSection 133 of the Act.

In preparing the financial statements management and Board of Directors areresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concerndisclosing as applicable matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or errorand to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstate- ments can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if individually or in the aggregate theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
i. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statementswhether due to fraud or error design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion forgeryintentional omissions misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
ii. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i)of the Act we are also respon- sible for expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in placeand the operating effectiveness of such controls.
iii. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
iv. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and based on the audit evidence obtained whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty existswe are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures inthe 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'sreport. However future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue asa going concern.
v. Evaluate the overall presentation structure and content of the financialstatements including the disclosures and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of mis-statements in the Financial Statements thatindividually or in aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the Financial Statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our auditwork and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the financial effectof any identified mis-statements in the Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding among other matters theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence and where applicable related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen in extremely rare circumstances we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reason- ablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
