Vantage Knowledge Academy has set September 23, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for e-voting at its upcoming 13th Annual General Meeting. This follows the company's earlier announcement that the AGM will be held via video conferencing on September 30, 2026.

The record date ensures that only shareholders registered in the company's books as of Wednesday, September 23, 2026, will be entitled to participate in the voting process. Remote e-voting is scheduled to run from September 27 to September 29, 2026, facilitated by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).

Meeting Agenda and Board Changes

The primary focus of the special resolutions at the AGM is the regularisation of three non-executive independent directors. Shareholders will vote on the appointments of Mr. Ganesh Shivpujan Pal, Ms. Deepali Vikram Jain, and Mr. Rommel Rodrigues. These directors were initially appointed as additional directors in late 2025 and early 2026 and require shareholder approval to serve full five-year terms.

Mr. Pal was appointed effective October 1, 2025, while Ms. Jain joined on September 15, 2025. Mr. Rodrigues was appointed more recently, effective February 12, 2026. None of these directors are liable to retire by rotation.

Additionally, Mr. Rajesh Dedhia, the Managing Director, retires by rotation at the meeting and has offered himself for re-appointment. He holds a DIN of 00477958 and brings extensive experience in finance and education to the role.

Financial Context

The AGM coincides with the release of the company's annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. During FY26, total income stood at ₹229.26 lakh, a decline from ₹376.73 lakh in the previous year. Profit after tax decreased significantly to ₹12.08 lakh from ₹75.56 lakh in FY25.

What the Numbers Show

Depreciation charges surged to ₹76.06 lakh in FY26, compared to just ₹2.86 lakh in FY25. This sharp increase in non-cash expenses, driven largely by amortisation of intangible assets, was a primary factor compressing the bottom line despite a reduction in total expenses from ₹274.62 lakh to ₹205.35 lakh.

Voting Logistics

The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means, as permitted by Ministry of Corporate Affairs circulars. The company has engaged NSDL to facilitate the remote e-voting process for eligible shareholders.

Vantage Knowledge Academy reported a net profit of ₹10.39 lakh for the quarter and three months ended June 30, 2026, marking a significant turnaround from the net loss of ₹60.17 lakh recorded in the previous quarter (Q4FY26). The company’s Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 13, 2026.

Revenue from operations stood at ₹45.75 lakh, down 51% year-on-year from ₹93.41 lakh in Q1FY26 but up 410% quarter-on-quarter from ₹8.96 lakh in Q4FY26. Total income for the period was ₹46.11 lakh, compared to ₹39.60 lakh in the prior quarter and ₹94.85 lakh in the same period last year. Other income contributed ₹0.36 lakh, a sharp decline from ₹30.64 lakh in Q4FY26.

Financial Performance

Total expenditure decreased to ₹35.72 lakh from ₹87.94 lakh in Q4FY26 and ₹52.40 lakh in Q1FY26. This reduction was primarily driven by:

• Employee benefits expenses: Fell to ₹13.37 lakh from ₹27.46 lakh in the previous quarter.
• Depreciation and amortisation: Dropped sharply to ₹6.36 lakh from ₹55.72 lakh in Q4FY26.
• Other expenses: Increased to ₹15.99 lakh from ₹4.76 lakh in the prior quarter.

The company reported no finance costs or cost of materials consumed during the quarter. There were no exceptional items reported. Tax expenses were nil for the current quarter, compared to ₹11.83 lakh (comprising ₹4.25 lakh current tax and ₹7.58 lakh deferred tax) in Q4FY26.

What the Numbers Show

The shift from a net loss of ₹60.17 lakh in Q4FY26 to a net profit of ₹10.39 lakh in Q1FY27 was largely driven by a significant reduction in non-cash and operational expenses rather than revenue growth. Depreciation and amortisation expenses fell by approximately 89% quarter-on-quarter, while employee benefits costs were cut by nearly half. Despite this profitability, revenue from operations remained significantly below the previous year’s level, indicating that the current quarter’s bottom-line improvement stems from cost containment rather than top-line expansion. The absence of tax expense in the current quarter further aided the bottom line, contrasting with the significant deferred tax provision made in the previous quarter.

Auditor Review

The statutory auditor, Bhatther & Associates, issued a limited review report on the financial results. The report stated that nothing came to their notice to suggest the statement did not disclose required information or contained material misstatements. The review was conducted in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410. The audit committee reviewed and approved the unaudited results before they were presented to the Board.

Key Metrics

The company operates in a single segment. Paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹3,414.75 lakh. The face value of equity shares is ₹1.00.
