During the year under review, India Ratings and Research (IND-Ra) has reaffirmed your Company's existing credit rating at 'INDA '.

Your Company operates in two segments: (1) Spirit, Spirituous Beverages and allied products and (2) Marine Products.

Spirit, Spirituous Beverages and alliedproducts:

The performance for the FY 2024-25 was better compared to last financial year but the business witnessed challenging environment
and tough competition.

The distillery operation of the Company got impacted due to unprecedent rise in the prices of input raw material because of increased
demand from Ethanol manufacturers. Margin declined as the price of by-product has decreased due to excess supply by these ethanol
plants. Operations at Distillery was affected by intermittent stoppage of production due to high stock, as customers were reluctant to lift
the material due to the illegal methods adopted by the State Excise authorities. Numerous letters were written to the Hon'ble Chief
Minister and Excise Commissioner ofWest Bengal to stop this.

Indian Made Liquor (‘IML’) business witnessed a sharp change in the customer purchasing behavior due to abnormal increase in the
MRP over last few years. This abnormal price increase has forced many people to shift towards smaller pack sizes. The IML business
was also adversely affected due to illegal interference ofthe State Excise Authorities at the District level, threating of dire consequences
and forcing the retailers, not to lift our product. The Company had made various representation to the Excise Commissioner, West
Bengal informing such illegal activities by his department both in Distillery and IML, with a request to stop such activities. Action from
the Excise Commissioner in this respect is pending. Representation was also made to Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal to
intervene.

Marine Products:

Export of Shrimps from India to USA (the country with highest export from India) is facing uncertainties due to the Tariff issues in USA
and also increasing shrimp production in Ecuador which has increased to 1.40 Million Tons - Only 7 years back it was 0.40 Million
Ton. As a consequence, shrimp prices have dropped by almost 15% over last year. Non-availability of raw shrimp in West Bengal for
almost 6-7 months, in a year has made it impossible to synchronize buying and selling. In West Bengal, earlier crop was available for 8¬
9 months and in current year the same was available for only 4 months as farmers have restricted themselves from investing in second
crop due to decline in prices. Red sea crises lead to increase in the ocean freight, thus impacting the margins in the business.

Fish feed business revenue increased by 36% as the Company's own branded Fish Feed, “Nutrisigma' and “Nutrafeed” are well
accepted in the market in some states. The Company has undertaken various initiatives like field trials, farmer training, R&D etc in
states like Andhra, Chhattisgarh, UP, West Bengal, Bihar and North East to establish itself as a strong player by providing good quality
feed to the farmer. The company continues with its restrictive credit policy adopted. Since the Shrimp culture in West Bengal declined,
the shrimp feed business for the company witnessed a decline of 22% in revenue. Marine domestic food business grew by 8%, due to
growth in HORECA segment. The Company continues to invest in this business in terms of product innovation and marketing.

The Wholly Owned Subsidiary, IFB Agro Holdings Pte. Ltd. , Singapore. act as a holding company for step down subsidiary IFB
Vietnam Company Ltd. in Vietnam. The project of value added sea food manufacturing in Vietnam, in a capex light model by
investment in some key machineries installed in a third party plant, has just completed and is expected to operate at its full capacity
from 3rd Quarter of FY 25-26. The Board decided to close the operation of the subsidiary, IFB Agro Marine (FZE), in UAE as the
company could not make much progress.

OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND CONCERNS

The current financial year will be a year of challenges for the Alcohol business of the Company. With setting up of excess capacity of
ENA in the State along with increased demand of the non-edible grain by the Ethanol plants, margin in Distillery is likely to be
impacted due to excess supply, increase in the prices of non-edible grain and lower price of by-products.

As part of backward integration strategy, our Founder and Chairman, Mr. Bijon Nag always wanted IFB to be in the business of
manufacturing the best quality feed for the farmers engaged in farming of shrimp and fish. He was deeply passionate about the aqua
feed project and envisioned the feed business becoming a valuable and significant arm ofthe Company.

He was very upset with the issues faced by the Company in relation to the liquor business. In order to de-risk the company from these
issues, he always wanted to diversify or expand the business out of the state of West Bengal. Your Management in order to pursue his
dream has decided to invest for exponential growth ofthe aqua feed business.

Your Board of Directors, at their meeting held on 30th May, 2025, approved the acquisition, as a going concern/running business on a
slump sale basis. This includes the entire commercial compound shrimp feed and freshwater fish feed business in India, having an
annual turnover of ' 353 crore as on 31st March, 2025 including the distribution network for the respective shrimp and fish feed, along
with respective feed formulation, Assets, Contracts, Business Undertaking Liabilities, Licenses and Permissions, employees etc and its
manufacturing facilities located at Vijayawada and Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, from Cargill India Private Limited.

This acquisition is expected to help in further growth of our fish feed and shrimp feed business by utilizing the spare capacity available
there. The transaction is expected to be completed on or before 31st July of the financial year 2025-26. The feed manufacturing project
at Balasore was kept in abeyance since there was substantial increase in the cost of the project. Since this acquisition will provide spare
production capacity in Andhra Pradesh, for both shrimp and fish feed, the Balasore Project will be looked at afresh.

During 2025-26, efforts will be to successfully integrate the acquired aqua feed business with the Company and ensure improved
margin and better return on capital employed through better procurement of key materials like non edible rice, shrimps for export etc
and tight control on overheads. The company is focused on its resource allocation and is looking for further expansion in Marine
business.

Your Company is continuing its efforts to attain further efficiencies by process/technological improvements, reduction ofwastages and
optimal use of human resources in all the divisions.
