Schedule 5

Disclosure Letter

1. Loan:
Certain of our Indian lenders have classified our loan balances as Non-performing assets
(NPAs). This continued impasse with the Indian banks can result in revenues of the
Indian subsidiary being severely impacted. The Indian company has been working pro-
actively to negotiate the reclassification of its loans with Indian lenders. Collateral offered
to banks, being factory land (9 acres out of 17 acres), has been licensed and approved for
conversion to residential real estate. This has infact, increased the value of the security for
banks and at the same time gives us the opportunity to monetize the asset and reduce the
loans in future. However, amidst regulatory and credit tightening, the Indian lender banks
have not agreed to reclassify loans extended to us into working capital and real estate
loans.
2. Revenue:
We generated 65.3% of our revenue in fiscal 2018 from products we sold outside India.
As such, a portion of such international revenue is subject to the Government of India’s
export control laws.
3. Pending Litigation:
1. In May 2005, certain workers at our processing facility declared a strike to
demand higher wages and enhanced labor policies, and to protest certain workforce
reductions. The strike was called off in 2006, but certain of such workers’ claims are
currently pending adjudication before the Gurgaon Labour Court and the outcome of
such adjudication may not be favorable to us.
2. Indian Food Co. and its executives have been named in certain civil and criminal
complaints filed by its suppliers and vendors from time to time.
3. One of our financial lenders in India (part of the consortium banking arrangement,
entered in late 2015) has applied to NCLT (National Country Law Tribunal), under
section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and forcing us to repay the
loan an amount of $14.1 million (as per their application) extended to us. The
application has not been admitted as at the filing of the annual report in this Form
20F. The Company believes the stand of the financial creditor is without merit and
unwarranted and driven by general tightening credit environment.
4. The company is also pursuing certain intellectual property litigations. The company
has been successful in asserting such claims in the past.
4. Insurance:
We believe that the extent of our insurance coverage is consistent with industry practice.
Our insurance policies include coverage for risks relating to personal accident, burglary,
medical payments, product liability and marine cargo, including transit cover covering
certain employees, office premises and consignments of rice. In addition, the inventory
stored at our processing facility and warehouses is insured against fire and other perils
such as earthquake, burglary and floods, and we have fire and allied perils insurance
coverage for business interruptions at our milling facility. Additionally, we maintain
insurance policies that provide coverage for class action litigation resulting from claims
made against us in connection with the offer and sale of our securities. However, any
claim under our insurance policies maintained by us may be subject to certain exceptions,
may not be honored fully, in part, in a timely manner or at all, and we may not have
purchased sufficient insurance to cover all losses that we may incur. Our insurance
policies may not cover such inventory and business interruption losses. Additionally, in
the future, insurance coverage may not be available to us at commercially acceptable
premiums, or at all.
5. Intellectual property:
The sellers are facing certain Intellectual property related issues. The existing intellectual
property rights may be hampered if the countries in which we use trademark protections
amend their laws. There are certain countries where there are no trademark laws and thus
make us susceptible to Intellectual property rights’ breach.
