Auditor's review

Conclusion: Unmodified

Notes to the results

During the quarter the Company acquired 100% stake in ST Advanced Composites Pvt Ltd for a consideration of Rs. 1.50 Crores, effective 17 September 2026; initial accounting is incomplete and PPA is provisional.
QIP proceeds: Rs. 487.74 crores to be utilised; Rs. 465.89 crores utilised up to 30 September 2026 and Rs. 21.85 crores unutilised (product development Rs. 20.25 crores, EMI-EMC facility Rs. 1.60 crores).
Figures for prior periods (30 June 2026, 30 September 2025, FY26) are standalone of the Holding Company; current quarter/half-year include STAC, so reported numbers are not comparable.
No exceptional item in the quarter; the Rs. 3.01 crores statutory impact of new Labour Codes was booked in the year ended 31 March 2026.

What the board decided

The board of Data Patterns (India) Limited met on November 06, 2026 and approved the unaudited financial results (standalone and consolidated) for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The same meeting approved the acquisition of a 100% stake in ST Advanced Composites Private Limited.

Auditor's review conclusion

Deloitte Haskins & Sells reviewed both the standalone and the consolidated statements. Its conclusion is unmodified: nothing came to its attention that caused it to believe the statements were not prepared in line with the prescribed accounting standards, or that they contained any material misstatement. The subsidiary's interim financial information was reviewed by another auditor, and the conclusion on those amounts rests on that report. That subsidiary's figures, as stated, include total assets of Rs. 11.90 crores, total revenues of Rs. Nil, total net loss after tax of Rs. 0.15 crores and net cash flows of Rs. (0.71) crores for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.

The acquisition

100% equity stake in ST Advanced Composites Private Limited, with an effective date of 17 September 2026.
Consideration of Rs. 1.50 Crores paid to the erstwhile shareholders of STAC.
Initial accounting for the business combination is not complete; provisional amounts have been recorded and a purchase price allocation is being carried out using an independent expert.

Total income: 141.44 for the quarter against 313.40; 264.78 for the half year against 423.28.
Profit for the period: 21.97 for the quarter against 49.19; 44.03 for the half year against 74.69.
Earnings per share of face value of Rs. 2 each: 3.92 for the quarter against 8.79; 7.86 for the half year against 13.34.

Consolidated results (Rs. crore)

The quarter and half year figures now include the newly acquired subsidiary, which the company says makes them not comparable with the earlier periods shown.
