Mishtann Foods has submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY2024-25, as required under SEBI LODR rules. The Practicing Company Secretary has confirmed overall compliance with most SEBI regulations, including listing, insider trading, and takeover norms. During the year, the company completed the allotment of a Rs. 49.94 crore Rights Issue (letter of offer filed in February 2024). Two non-compliances were flagged: late submission of the Annual Report and voting results, attracting penalties from BSE and MSEI. Notably, SEBI has passed an interim order alleging fraudulent and fictitious related party transactions by the company and its promoters/directors, and has banned Managing Director Hitesh G. Patel and CFO Navinchandra D. Patel from accessing the securities market till the final order. The company and promoters have filed an appeal with the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT), which is pending admission. SEBI has also directed the company to bring back allegedly diverted funds from the Rights Issue. The report also notes a change of statutory auditors (from M/s. Panchal S K and Associates to M/s. H Thakkar and Company LLP) and a past fire at the registered office that destroyed records, now being reconstructed.
Shareholders should note serious regulatory concerns: a SEBI interim order has banned key promoters and the CFO from the capital markets over alleged fraudulent related party transactions and misuse of Rights Issue funds, with the company's appeal still pending at SAT. Late filing of the Annual Report and voting results also resulted in exchange penalties (Rs. 5.11 lakh paid for the previous year), pointing to weak compliance discipline. Overall, this is a negative signal for governance and could weigh on investor confidence and the stock price.
