For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company recorded a net loss of ₹377.15 lakh on revenue of ₹7,367.91 lakh.

The company's expenses rose in line with the increased business activity, with total expenditure for FY26 reaching ₹12,896.08 lakh, up from ₹2,940.58 lakh in FY25. The purchase of stock-in-trade was the largest expense component, totaling ₹14,558.33 lakh for the year. Earnings per share (EPS) for the year dropped to ₹0.00 from ₹0.25 in the previous year.

Audit Qualifications
Statutory auditors M/S Shweta Jain & Co LLP issued a modified opinion on the financial results. The auditors highlighted that the company reported closing inventory amounting to ₹18.63 crore as of March 31, 2026, but management did not provide item-wise quantitative details, supporting valuation workings, or confirmation of existence and quantity required for audit verification. Consequently, the auditors stated they were unable to comment on the existence, quantity, and valuation of the inventory.
Additionally, the auditors flagged overdue trade receivables aggregating to ₹4.24 crore pertaining to previous financial years for which no recoveries had been received as of the report date. The auditors expressed an inability to comment on the recoverability of these receivables. The company also disclosed overdue trade payables of ₹1.09 crore from previous years, with auditors unable to comment on their completeness and appropriateness due to lack of payments.
Management Response
In the Statement on Impact of Audit Qualifications, management stated that the inventory represents stock held in the ordinary course of business and is accounted for based on books of account. They claimed that supporting records were provided to auditors subsequently and believe the inventory is fairly stated with no material adjustment expected. Regarding the overdue receivables, management asserted they are recoverable based on post-dated cheques received and ongoing recovery efforts, hence no impairment provision was considered necessary. For the overdue payables, management confirmed the liabilities continue to be payable and are duly recorded, with delays attributed to reconciliations and liquidity considerations.
