We had, in this communication, apprised you of the detailed background leading to the delay in finalisation of our Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31® March, 2016. While we were, as on that date, uncertain when we would be able to finalise our Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31% March, 2015, we have since moved forward from that position The underlying issues that were holding up the above finalisation are under active pursuit for ultimate resolution. We expect these to be resolved over the next few weeks. We will then begin the process of finalising our 31° March, 2015 Annual Financial Statements. Till such time as we finalise our 31" March, 2015 Financial Statements, we would be unable to complete our 30" June, 2015 Financial Statements as well. This is because several adjustments in the 31° March, 2015 Financial Statements will impact the 30" June, 2016 Financial Statements as well ye +91 33.2243 5453, 2242 9454 Kesoram industies Limited +91 33 2248 0764, 2213 0441 Registered & Corporate Orfice +91 33.2210 9455 9/1 RN, Mukheriee Road, Kolkata - 700 001 comporate@kesoram.net CIN -L1711 981919003429P F E KESORAM www.kesocorp.com In view of the above, the compilation, finalisation and publication of our Unaudited Financial Results for the First Quarter ended 30" June, 2015 will be consequentially delayed. However, once the 31% March, 2015 Financial Statements are finalised, we will also be able to finalise and expeditiously publish our Unaudited Financial Results for the First Quarter ended 30" June, 2015. The above situation will call for deferment of our 96" Annual General Meeting. We are separately approaching the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal in the prescribed E Form requesting him to invoke the powers vested in him by the third Proviso of Section 96 of the Companies Act, 2013 to grant us time till 31* December, 2015 to hold our 96"" Annual General Meeting. We will separately mail you a copy of the E Form once filed. We are nonetheless mindful of the need and are fully conscious of our responsibilities under the Listing Agreement. We are indeed embarrassed that we have had to approach the Stock Exchanges for forbearance faced as we have been by circumstances outwith our control in relation to deferment in finalising our Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31° March, 2015 and the consequential delay in finalising our Unaudited Financial Statement for the quarter ended 30" June, 2015. We would request you to bear with us as we resolve the various underlying issues Thank you Yours faithfully er inasorfinies { | ‘Gautam Ganguli ZA Company Secretary _ a +91 33 2243 5453, 2242 9454 Kesorar Industies Limited +91 33.2248 0764, 2213 0441 Registered & Corporate Office +91 33 2210 9455 9/1 RIN, Mukheriee Road, Kolkata - 700 001 corporate@kesoram.net CIN -L17119w81919°LC003429
