Castora Agri Commodities reported a net loss of ₹3.79 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, widening from a loss of ₹2.42 lakh in the previous year. The company's Board approved the audited standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, at a meeting held on May 29, 2026. The statutory auditor, Krutesh Patel & Associates, issued an unmodified opinion but highlighted a material uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring operational losses and significant pending tax demands.
The company recorded total income of ₹21.2 lakh for FY26, a sharp decline from ₹315.86 lakh in FY25. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a profit of ₹9.54 lakh, compared to a loss of ₹3.77 lakh in the same period last year. The Board also appointed M/S. Sarang Shivajirao Chavan & Associates as the internal auditor for FY27, effective May 29, 2026.
Auditor's Emphasis of Matter
The auditor drew attention to the fact that the company has incurred recurring operational losses and has disposed of all its plant, machinery, and other major fixed assets, resulting in the discontinuation of operations. Additionally, the financial statements disclose pending income tax demands aggregating ₹1029.34 lakh, including a demand of ₹939.28 lakh pending before the Supreme Court. The company classified these as contingent liabilities, but an adverse outcome may materially impact its ability to continue as a going concern.
