The company's standalone financial results for FY26 reflect a steep deterioration across key metrics. Total income fell to ₹2,512.54 lakhs from ₹11,069.58 lakhs in the previous year, driven primarily by a sharp drop in revenue from securities transactions. The net loss widened to ₹575.96 lakhs from ₹82.37 lakhs in FY25.

The following table summarises the company's standalone financial performance:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net loss of ₹437.36 lakhs on total income of ₹410.56 lakhs, compared to a net profit of ₹653.53 lakhs on total income of ₹565.41 lakhs in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Auditor's Disclaimer of Opinion and Key Concerns

Statutory auditors M/s JCR & Co. LLP issued a Disclaimer of Opinion on the standalone financial statements for FY26. The auditors stated they were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

The key concerns raised by the auditors include:

• Unresolved prior-year matter: Issues related to write-off of loan liabilities and an increment in income of around ₹8.20 crores, flagged in FY25, remain unresolved. The auditors noted this qualification was not addressed in the Director's Report for FY24-25, which they identified as a violation of Section 134(3)(f) of the Companies Act, 2013, and that BSE was not informed of the qualification.
• NBFC regulatory non-compliance: The company continued financing activities despite cancellation of its NBFC Certificate of Registration by RBI with effect from April 30, 2019. RBI's order dated May 19, 2025 rejected the company's application for grant of a Certificate of Registration and directed it to stop financing business with immediate effect. Although the Board passed a resolution on August 11, 2025 to refrain from NBFC operations, the auditors noted that fresh business was still entered into by the company thereafter. An extension of six months from RBI for compliance is awaited.
• Net worth erosion: During the year, more than 95% of the net worth of the company was eroded due to non-recoveries and provisions. The auditors noted these conditions may materially affect the company's operations and going concern status.
• Unverifiable interest expense: The auditors were unable to verify the correctness of interest expense amounts due to unavailability of loan documents for loans taken and given during the quarter.

Segment Performance

The company operates in two reportable segments: Lending and Financing Activity, and Investment and Trading in Securities.

Board Decisions and Corporate Actions

At the Board meeting held on May 16, 2026, the following matters were approved:

• Audited Financial Statements along with the Independent Auditor's Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026
• Investment in Tirupati Supereco Automotive Holding Company Limited
