The board met on 7 November 2026, starting at 9.00 am and concluding at 4.55 pm.
What the board decided
- Took on record the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and period ended 30 September 2026, along with the limited review report of the auditors, B.K. Ramadhyani & Co LLP, whose review followed the Standard on Review Engagement 2410.
- Declared a Second Interim Dividend of Rs. 6/- per equity share, which works out to 60% on the face value of Rs. 10/- per share, for the financial year 2025-2026.
- The record date for the dividend is Monday 16 November 2026, and the dividend will be paid on or before 5 December 2026.
What the auditor concluded
- A limited review is narrower in scope than a full audit, and the auditor states that it does not express an audit opinion.
- Nothing came to the auditor's attention that causes it to believe the statements contain a material misstatement or fail the required disclosures.
- The auditor states that it has not modified its opinion in respect of the matters it highlighted.
Two matters the auditor drew attention to
- Investments: the company's non-current investments in Eclectic IQ (formerly Polylylogx) and Lavel NetWorks Private Limited are carried at a cost of Rs. 8.03 million and Rs. 55.00 million, against disclosed fair values of Rs. 12.65 million and Rs. 64.25 million. Valuation reports are still being obtained; management says certain restrictions prevent access to the cash flow data needed for a formal valuation, but that recent and expected investments in these entities point to a substantial increase in value and no impairment.
- New ERP system: the TCS iON system is still undergoing stabilisation. Bugs and process deficiencies were identified in areas including opening balances, inventory valuation, amortisation of prepaid expenses, ageing of debtors and creditors, the fixed asset register and unbilled receivables. Rectifications were carried out outside the ERP system, in some cases using management estimates, and management does not expect the remaining unrectified errors to have a material impact on the financial results.
Scope of the review
- Three foreign subsidiaries were not reviewed by the auditor. Their total revenues of Rs.47.72 million and net loss of Rs.10.32 million for the half year ended 30 September 2026 rest on management certification.
- Goodwill of the new subsidiary, Asmaitha Wireless Technologies Private Limited, has been assessed on unaudited financial statements certified by management.
What a retail shareholder may take away
- The dividend amount, record date and payment timeline are the concrete dates to note.
- The numbers are unaudited and only reviewed, which carries a lower level of assurance than audited annual accounts.
- The highlighted items are disclosures on how the numbers were arrived at; the auditor's conclusion itself was not modified.
