The company generated no revenue from operations during FY26, with total income of Rs. 42.53 lakhs coming entirely from other income sources. Total expenses increased to Rs. 37.82 lakhs from Rs. 36.46 lakhs in the previous year, primarily driven by employee benefits expenses of Rs. 12.39 lakhs and other expenses of Rs. 13.24 lakhs.
Balance Sheet Position
The company's financial position as of March 31, 2026, reflects significant changes in its asset composition:

Notably, the company's cash position improved significantly to Rs. 597.60 lakhs from Rs. 29.46 lakhs in the previous year, primarily due to fixed deposits having maturity within three months amounting to Rs. 565.00 lakhs.

Auditor's Opinion and Key Notes
G. K. Choksi & Co., the company's statutory auditors, issued an unmodified opinion on the financial results. However, they emphasized a critical matter regarding the company's operational status. The auditors noted that the company does not have any business plan and does not intend to have any business activity in the near future. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern assumption, with financial assets stated at their realizable value or cost, whichever is lower.
The company's accumulated losses exceed its net worth, and total liabilities exceed total assets as of March 31, 2026. Despite these challenges, the company continues to maintain its listing obligations and regulatory compliance requirements. The board meeting commenced at 01:00 pm and concluded at 01:45 pm on April 30, 2026.
