Futuristic Securities reported a net loss of ₹25.82 lakh for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, marking a reversal from the ₹67.37 lakh profit recorded in FY25. The company has scheduled its 55th Annual General Meeting for September 30, 2026, to approve these results and appoint new statutory auditors.

Financial Performance

Total revenue remained largely flat at ₹11.26 lakh, up marginally from ₹11.25 lakh in the previous year. However, total expenses rose to ₹11.43 lakh from ₹10.35 lakh, driven by higher employee benefit costs and other operational expenditures. Consequently, the company posted a pre-tax loss of ₹1.72 lakh, compared to a pre-tax profit of ₹9.01 lakh in FY25.

Revenue from operations stood at ₹6.32 lakh, unchanged from the prior year, primarily comprising interest income. Other income increased slightly to ₹4.94 lakh from ₹4.93 lakh, supported by dividend receipts.

Expense Breakdown

Employee benefit expenses jumped to ₹3.03 lakh from ₹2.29 lakh. Other expenses also climbed to ₹8.40 lakh from ₹8.06 lakh, with significant contributions from listing fees (₹3.84 lakh) and legal/professional fees (₹1.90 lakh).

What the Numbers Show

The company’s profitability is heavily dependent on non-operational income streams. Dividend income alone accounted for ₹4.87 lakh of the ₹4.94 lakh other income, while operating revenue contributed only ₹6.32 lakh. This structure highlights that core operational activities generated insufficient margins to cover rising administrative and employee costs, leading to the net loss despite stable top-line figures.

Balance Sheet and Cash Position

Cash and cash equivalents declined significantly to ₹6.19 lakh from ₹21.64 lakh at the end of FY25. The company holds ₹79.00 lakh in loans and advances, which remained constant year-over-year. Total assets decreased slightly to ₹139.03 lakh from ₹139.44 lakh.

Corporate Governance Updates

The Board recommended the re-appointment of Mr. Pradeep Jatwala as a director retiring by rotation. Additionally, shareholders will vote to appoint M/s. MKPS & Associates LLP as the new statutory auditors for a five-year term, replacing M/s. MAKK & Co., who resigned effective August 11, 2026. M/s. Roy Jacob & Co. will be appointed as the secretarial auditor for five years starting FY27.

No dividend was declared for FY26 as the directors opted to conserve resources. The promoter holding remains unchanged at 62.77%, with Anand Kumar Thirani holding 1,223,934 shares.

Futuristic Securities Limited has appointed M/s. MKPS & Associates LLP as its new Statutory Auditors, effective August 11, 2026. The appointment fills a casual vacancy created by the resignation of M/s. MAKK & Co., which stepped down due to a merger with the incoming firm. The Board of Directors approved the change following a recommendation from the Audit Committee, subject to ratification by shareholders at the ensuing General Meeting.

The transition was disclosed under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with Schedule III and the SEBI Master Circular dated January 30, 2026. The move complies with Section 139(8) of the Companies Act, 2013. The Audit Committee reviewed the resignation letter and confirmed that no material concerns existed regarding the outgoing auditor’s departure other than the merger.

Audit Committee Review

The Audit Committee met on August 11, 2026, to deliberate on the change. It examined the reasons furnished by M/s. MAKK & Co. (FRN: 117246W) in its resignation letter dated August 11, 2026. The committee noted that the resignation was tendered pursuant to the merger of M/s. MAKK & Co. with M/s. MKPS & Associates LLP, under which professional practices and related assignments are being consolidated.

Based on the available information, the committee confirmed that no other material concerns or reasons relating to the resignation existed beyond the stated merger. Consequently, it recommended M/s. MKPS & Associates LLP (FRN: 302014E/W101061) to fill the casual vacancy.

Auditor Transition Details

M/s. MKPS & Associates LLP provided consent for the appointment, affirming eligibility under Section 139 and independence from the company. The firm holds a valid Peer Review Certificate from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. However, the consent letter disclosed an ongoing proceeding against one partner that has not yet reached finality, though the firm stated this does not impair its eligibility or independence.

Financial Context

The auditor change coincides with the company’s Q1FY26 results announcement. Futuristic Securities reported a net profit of ₹1.18 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reversing a net loss of ₹1.62 lakh in Q1FY25. Revenue from operations remained flat at ₹1.58 lakh, while other income surged to ₹1.62 lakh from ₹0.07 lakh in Q4FY25. The Board also scheduled the 55th Annual General Meeting for September 30, 2026, where shareholders will vote on the statutory auditor appointment.

What the Numbers Show

The return to profitability in Q1FY26 was driven entirely by non-operating income, as core revenue remained stagnant at ₹1.58 lakh across comparable periods. This reliance on incidental gains highlights a need for operational growth to sustain earnings stability, making robust audit oversight critical for investor confidence.
