| Metric | Standalone FY26 (₹ in lacs) | Consolidated FY26 (₹ in lacs) |
|---|---|---|
| Total Income | 692.43 | 1,243.52 |
| Total Expenses | 842.47 | 1,192.35 |

Audit Qualification
The statutory auditors, Doogar & Associates, issued a qualified opinion in their report. The qualification arises because the company has not provided for interest on unsecured loans amounting to ₹69.84 lacs for the quarter and ₹233.14 lacs for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The auditors noted that this non-recognition is not in compliance with Ind AS 109, which requires financial liabilities to be measured at amortized cost.
Management stated that due to financial constraints, the company is currently unable to service these interest obligations and is considering a restructuring of loan terms. However, no formal waiver or amendment of terms has been executed with the lenders as of the reporting date. Had the interest been recognized, the loss for the year would have increased by ₹233.14 lacs, and current liabilities would have been higher by the same amount.
