? HIGHLIGHTS OF STANDALONE OPERATIONS

Despite a global slowdown in the chemical industry, the company achieved a 4% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations
in FY 2024-25 compared to FY 2023-24. This growth was primarily driven by higher sales volumes, which reflected steady market
demand and improved operational throughput, while average selling prices remained largely stable across product categories.

The increase in sales volume can be attributed to several strategic factors such as higher capacity utilization in specialty dye
intermediates, enabling the company to effectively meet growing demand, addition of new customers, leading to a broader
market reach and diversified sales channels, gradual recovery in the chemical industry, which contributed to marginal sectoral
growth and a more favorable business environment. These developments collectively resulted in a significant boost to sales
volumes and overall revenue generation.

As a result, the Company achieved a significant financial turnaround, with standalone EBITDA turning positive at ' 6,155.67 Lakh-
an impressive recovery from an EBITDA loss of ' 2,673.41 Lakh in FY 2023-24. The EBITDA margin improved by 1208 basis points
to 8%, underscoring enhanced operating leverage and improved efficiency across operations.

The company reported a Profit Before Tax of ' 55.52 Lakh, a sharp reversal from the loss of ' 9,343.20 Lakh in the previous fiscal
year. Profit After Tax stood at ' 384.37 Lakh, reflecting a remarkable year-on-year improvement.

This strong recovery highlights the company's strategic focus on financial discipline, operational excellence, and long-term value
creation, positioning it well for sustainable growth in the years ahead.

* UPDATES ON COURT CASE IN SINGAPORE

Following the failure of Senda International Capital Limited
("
Senda") to complete the buyout of Company's stake in
DyStar, the Company filed an alternate relief application
on July 23, 2023, before the Singapore International
Commercial Court ("
SICC"), seeking enforcement of the
Valuation Judgment. The matter was heard by the SICC on
January 24 and 25, 2024.

On February 23, 2024, the SICC issued an interim order
directing the en bloc sale of the entire shareholding in
DyStar Global Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("
DyStar")
held by the Company and Senda. The Court appointed
Mr. Matthew Stuart Becker, Mr. Lim Loo Khoon, and Mr. Tan
Wei Cheong of Deloitte & Touche LLP as joint and several
Receivers to manage the sale process.

Subsequently, on May 20, 2024, the SICC issued its final order
and grounds of decision, including the following directives:

1. The en bloc sale of DyStar shares shall proceed without
a reserve price.

2. The sale must be completed by the long-stop date of
December 31, 2025.

3. The sale proceeds, after deducting receiver
remuneration and expenses, shall be distributed as
follows:

• The Company shall receive US$ 603.8 Mn in
priority;

• Any remaining balance shall be paid to Senda.

4. Claims for interest on the buyout amount and for
advance payment from DyStar were denied.

Both parties filed appeals—the Company against the denial
of interest and Senda against the priority payment award.

In its judgment dated January 31,2025, the Singapore Court
of Appeal:

• Dismissed Senda's appeal and upheld the priority
payment of US$ 603.8 Mn to the Company.

• Allowed the Company's appeal and awarded interest at
5.33% p.a. on US$ 603.8 Mn, accruing from September
3, 2023, until the date of payment.

Earlier, in a judgment dated August 29, 2024, the SICC
awarded:

• S$360,050, plus disbursements of S$17,053.81 and
US$ 6,415.18, payable by Senda to the Company; and

• S$125,705, plus disbursements of S$8,126.91 and
US$ 1,223.57, payable by the Company to DyStar.

Pursuant to the SICC's orders, on May 29, 2025, the
Receivers and the Company entered into a Share Purchase
Agreement ("
SPA") with Zhejiang Longsheng Group Co.,
Ltd. ("the
Purchaser") for the sale of 2,623,354 equity shares
representing 37.57% of DyStar's paid-up capital held by the
Company. Under the SPA:

• The base consideration is US$ 676,260,000.

• An additional consideration of US$ 20,287,800
is payable to address any shortfall or to fulfil the
Purchaser's obligations under the SPA.

• The total consideration is subject to further
adjustments as per the terms of the agreement.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions
and necessary regulatory approvals. The long-stop date for
fulfilment or waiver of the final condition under the SPA
is October 2, 2025, extendable up to November 3, 2025,
or as mutually agreed in writing by the Receivers and the
Purchaser.
