Revenue from operations held steady at ₹322.22 lakh, compared to ₹322.72 lakh in Q1FY26, indicating stable operational performance despite minor fluctuations in profitability. The company’s Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 24, 2026, during a meeting that commenced at 12:00 P.M. and concluded at 12:30 P.M.

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 (Ind AS 34) and reviewed by SNR & Company, Chartered Accountants, pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The audit committee also reviewed the results prior to board approval. The company operates under a single reportable segment as per Accounting Standard 17, eliminating the need for segmental reporting.

Financial Performance Overview

Total income rose slightly to ₹327.55 lakh from ₹324.43 lakh in Q1FY26, driven by an increase in other income from ₹1.71 lakh to ₹5.33 lakh. However, total expenses increased marginally to ₹293.35 lakh from ₹292.39 lakh. Cost of materials consumed decreased to ₹145.66 lakh from ₹141.85 lakh, while employee benefits expense rose to ₹83.84 lakh from ₹77.41 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

Despite a 6.74% increase in profit before tax to ₹34.20 lakh, net profit declined due to tax accounting adjustments. While current tax expense was ₹10.00 lakh in Q1FY27, deferred tax credits of ₹1.38 lakh offset part of this liability. In contrast, Q1FY26 saw a deferred tax credit of ₹1.20 lakh against current tax of ₹6.85 lakh. The effective tax rate impact resulted in a lower bottom-line figure despite higher pre-tax profits. Earnings per share remained constant at ₹0.03, reflecting the minimal change in net profit relative to the paid-up equity capital of ₹1,019.97 lakh.

The company’s other comprehensive income stood at nil for the quarter, with no items reclassified to profit or loss. The paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹1,019.97 lakh. Previous period figures have been regrouped or reclassified where necessary to align with current reporting standards.
