Revenue from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, stood at Rs. 434.28 lakhs. The company's total income for the same quarter was Rs. 434.28 lakhs, compared to Rs. 37.07 lakhs in the previous quarter and Rs. 126.71 lakhs in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Corporate Governance and Future Plans

SABTNL has issued a postal ballot notice seeking member approval for several key appointments. The e-voting process is scheduled to run from December 02, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The proposed appointments, effective from October 10, 2025 to October 09, 2030, include:

Mr. Srivatsava Sunkara as Managing Director
Mr. Kiran Kumar Inampudi as Executive Director and Chairman
Three independent directors

Auditor's Note

The company's auditors, Hitesh Shah & Associates, have highlighted a material uncertainty related to the going concern status of SABTNL. They noted that current liabilities substantially exceed current assets, and the company has a negative Other Equity of Rs. 2,453.85 Lakhs as of September 30, 2025.

The management continues to prepare financial results on a going concern basis. The auditors have emphasized that the impact of pending direct and indirect tax assessments has not been accounted for in the current period's results.

While SABTNL's improved financial performance and proposed leadership appointments may indicate positive changes, the auditors' concerns suggest ongoing challenges in stabilizing the company's financial position.
