Change in designation of Mr. N.M. Ranganathan as Non-executive Director
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
At a board meeting on May 28, 2025, SIP Industries approved multiple leadership changes: CFO N.M. Ranganathan resigned for personal reasons and was redesignated from Whole-time Director to Non-executive Director. Natesan Kameswaron, with over 35 years of experience in civil contracts, real estate and stock broking, was appointed as the new CFO (effective May 29, 2025) and as Additional Executive Director, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM. The board also approved audited FY25 results with an unmodified auditor opinion. However, the company posted a net loss of Rs. 29.10 lakhs in FY25 and has accumulated losses of Rs. 529.03 lakhs, fully eroding its net worth (now negative), prompting the auditor to flag a material going concern uncertainty. The company remains under a suspended BSE listing following its takeover via NCLT's CIRP process in April 2022, with several listing, revocation and penalty waiver applications still pending with BSE.
Investors should note the CFO exit at a company already dealing with negative net worth, mounting losses and a suspended listing. While the new CFO brings outside business experience, the going concern flag and unresolved listing status remain key overhangs for shareholders.
