Auditor's review

Conclusion: Unmodified

The board of the company met on November 03, 2026 and approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the half year and second quarter ended September 30, 2026, together with the Limited Review Report of the statutory auditors, V. K. Beswal & Associates, Chartered Accountants.

What was approved

What the auditor's review says

The review was done under the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410. It gives moderate assurance, which is less than an audit; the auditors state they have not performed an audit and do not express an audit opinion. Their conclusion is that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe the statement contains any material misstatement or fails to disclose the information required under the listing regulations. The same conclusion is given for the consolidated statement, which covers the holding company and its subsidiaries, Suptaswar Investments and Trading Company Limited and Murahar Investments and Trading Company Limited.

The numbers, standalone (Rs. in lakhs)

A line worth understanding: other comprehensive income

The company holds a large investment book, and such holdings are marked to market. In the quarter the Other Comprehensive Income section carries a large negative net gain/loss on equity instruments measured through OCI, which pulls Total Comprehensive Income (XIII+XIV) below zero even though the profit line is positive. In simple terms, profit for the period comes from the income statement, while the fair-value movement on equity holdings sits below it in OCI and still flows into total equity. So profit and total comprehensive income can move in opposite directions in the same quarter.

How a retail investor can read this

This is a routine quarterly results approval by an investment company. The auditor's conclusion is unmodified, the profit line is positive for both the quarter and the half year, and the earnings per share figure is high in rupee terms because the company has a small equity base of 20,00,000 shares of Rs. 10/- each, as stated in the earnings note. The main thing to track is the OCI swing, since for a company whose assets are largely investments, mark-to-market movement in the portfolio can matter as much as the reported profit.
