Southern Infoconsultants reported a significant contraction in its financial performance for the first quarter of FY27, with revenue declining 34.5% year-on-year to ₹1.19 crore. The company’s net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, fell 68.8% to ₹0.03 crore, reflecting pressure across both operating and non-operating income streams.

The unaudited results, filed with the Bombay Stock Exchange under Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, show that revenue from operations dropped from ₹1.82 crore in Q1FY26 to ₹1.19 crore in Q1FY27. This decline was accompanied by a reduction in other income, which fell from ₹0.26 crore to ₹0.12 crore over the same period.

Financial Performance

Operating expenses declined in line with revenue, falling 34.4% to ₹1.28 crore from ₹1.95 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. Despite the cost reduction, the margin compression evident in the sharper drop in net profit compared to revenue indicates an inability to fully offset top-line weakness through expense management.

Balance Sheet Position

As on June 30, 2026, Southern Infoconsultants’ total assets stood at ₹1.17 crore, unchanged from ₹1.17 crore as on March 31, 2026. The company maintained a stable equity position, with share capital remaining constant at ₹0.03 crore and reserves and surplus at ₹1.14 crore. No dividend was declared for the quarter.

What the Numbers Show

A critical observation from the filing is the disproportionate reliance on other income to sustain profitability. In Q1FY26, other income constituted approximately 16.7% of total income (₹0.26 crore out of ₹1.53 crore pre-expense income). In Q1FY27, while other income fell sharply to ₹0.12 crore, it still represented roughly 9.2% of the significantly lower total income base. More importantly, the net profit of ₹0.03 crore is heavily dependent on this non-operating stream; without other income, the company would have recorded a net loss of ₹0.09 crore (₹1.19 crore revenue minus ₹1.28 crore expenses). This highlights a fragile operational core where current revenues do not cover total expenses, making the bottom line vulnerable to fluctuations in interest or investment income.

Southern Infoconsultants Limited reported a net loss of ₹15.33 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net profit of ₹27.06 lakh in the previous year. Revenue from operations for the year stood at ₹1,071.27 lakh, a decline from ₹1,304.97 lakh in FY25. The board approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results at its meeting held on May 28, 2026.

Auditor's Observations

Mukesh Aggarwal & Co., Chartered Accountants, issued a qualified opinion on the standalone and consolidated annual financial results. The qualification arises because the company did not make provision for gratuity as required under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and Ind AS 19. The auditors stated they are unable to ascertain the financial implication of this non-provision, noting that net loss and provisions are understated while cumulative net profits are overstated to that extent.

The auditors also drew attention to emphasis of matter paragraphs regarding trade receivables and payables, which are subject to confirmation and reconciliation, and the identification of MSME vendors. Additionally, the company recorded work-in-progress inventory of ₹443.89 lakh as of March 31, 2026, without providing supporting documents for the recognition and subsequent charges to the profit and loss statement.

Financial Performance

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net profit of ₹2.35 lakh on revenue from operations of ₹300.42 lakh. In the corresponding quarter of the previous year, the net profit was ₹9.37 lakh on revenue of ₹501.23 lakh. Total income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was ₹305.58 lakh, while total expenses stood at ₹302.20 lakh.

Consolidated Results

On a consolidated basis, the company reported a net loss of ₹12.34 lakh for FY26, compared to a net profit of ₹26.46 lakh in the previous year. Total consolidated income for the year was ₹1,091.73 lakh. The board appointed Mr. D.K. Shrivastava as the Internal Auditor for the financial year 2025-2026.
