The financial statements presented a picture of varying performance across the parent company and its associated entities.

For the period ended June 30, 2026, the consolidated results showed significant figures for the group. The total income for the quarter stood at Rs 458.70 lakhs, while Total Income for the year ended March 31, 2026, was Rs 4,771.22 lakhs.

Adverse Findings Highlighted in Audit Review​

The independent auditors’ review report for both the standalone and consolidated results brought significant matters to attention, concluding that the accompanying statements had not been prepared fairly in all material respects. These concerns relate primarily to receivables, loans granted to subsidiaries, and ongoing tax disputes.

Key adverse findings noted across the financial results include:

• Doubtful Assets: For both the standalone and consolidated entities, notes indicated doubtful assets including trade receivables of Rs 198.24 lakhs (standalone) and Rs 469.80 lakhs (consolidated), as well as a loan amounting to Rs 586.50 lakhs and accrued interest of Rs 3.05 lakhs that are considered prejudicial to the interest of the company due to their outstanding period.
• Non-Provisioning: Management had not ascertained or recognized the necessary impact in both the standalone and consolidated financial results regarding these doubtful assets, meaning no provision was made against them.
• Subsidiary Loan Issues: In the standalone results, loans amounting to Rs 2,929.08 lakhs granted to two wholly owned subsidiary companies had terms and conditions of repayment remaining undetermined, and adjustments were not ascertained. Furthermore, impairment in the value of investments aggregating to Rs 5,600.00 lakhs in two wholly owned subsidiaries was noted but no impact was recognized.
• Tax Disputes: Both reports highlighted substantial tax demands pending appeal. For the parent company (standalone), demand notices for years ranging from 2011-2012 to 2020-2021 amounted to Rs 18,939.44 lakhs, with interest and penalty aggregating up to Rs 24,047.65 lakhs. These matters are pending before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi.
• Director Remuneration: A payment of Rs 40.20 lakhs made to a director was noted in the standalone results as potentially recoverable and included under "Other financial assets-current."

The review concluded that due to the significance and expected materiality of these adverse matters, the accompanying statements have not been prepared fairly in all material respects according to recognized accounting standards.
