Financial Performance

Revenue from operations rose to ₹60.51 lakh in FY26, up from ₹55.00 lakh in FY25. However, this growth was offset by a sharp decline in other income, which fell to ₹29.88 lakh from ₹62.60 lakh in the prior year. Total expenses decreased to ₹91.84 lakh from ₹103.49 lakh.

The decline in other income, primarily derived from investments generated from retained surpluses, was the primary driver behind the shift from profit to loss. Earnings per share stood at a loss of ₹0.40, compared to earnings of ₹4.39 in FY25.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between operating revenue growth and the overall loss highlights the company's reliance on investment income for profitability. While core consultancy services grew by approximately 10%, the more than 50% drop in other income eroded the bottom line, indicating that operational gains were insufficient to offset the reduction in returns from retained surpluses.

AGM Details and Corporate Governance

The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from September 16, 2026, to September 22, 2026. Mr. Shridhar Phadke from SVP & Associates has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for the e-voting process.

Key agenda items for the AGM include:

• Adoption of the Audited Financial Statements for FY26.
• Re-appointment of Mrs. Geeta Manekshana (DIN: 03282077), Managing Director, who retires by rotation.

The company does not recommend any dividend for FY26 to conserve resources. The Directors' Report notes that there were no material changes affecting the financial position between the end of the financial year and the date of the report.
