The Board approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for FY ended 31 March 2025, with the statutory auditor (N.C. Aggarwal & Co.) issuing an unmodified opinion. The company swung to a standalone net loss of Rs. 1,198.70 lakh in FY25 from a profit of Rs. 3,755.82 lakh in FY24, with total income collapsing to Rs. 155.08 lakh from Rs. 4,442.70 lakh, driven by losses on fair value changes and equity derivative trading. EPS turned negative at Rs. (16.79) versus Rs. 52.62 earlier, while borrowings jumped sharply to Rs. 1,356.74 lakh from Rs. 83.23 lakh. Operating cash flow turned negative at Rs. (464.47) lakh against a positive Rs. 3,328.23 lakh last year. A dividend of Rs. 4 per share (on Rs. 10 face value) has been recommended. Mrs. Anita Jain was appointed as Non-Executive Independent Director for 5 years, and internal and secretarial auditors were re-appointed/appointed.
Shareholders see a sharply negative year with a swing from hefty profit to substantial loss, eroding reserves by over Rs. 1,300 lakh and forcing a big jump in borrowings; the Rs. 4 dividend offers some return, but the weak operating performance and negative cash flow are red flags for near-term stock sentiment.
