Vineet Laboratories has written to the stock exchanges to correct one line item in its cash flow statement.

What the company said

• The cash flow statement in the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, under operating activities, carried an inadvertent clerical and typographical error, specifically in the Income-taxes paid line.
• An amount of Rs.21.29 Lakhs was erroneously reflected under Income-taxes paid.
• The company describes this as an isolated error.

What the company says is unaffected

• Net profit
• Operating profit before working capital changes
• The balance sheet
• Any other financial parameters previously approved by the Board of Directors on August 25, 2026

The company states that, save for this, all other figures, disclosures and statements reported in the approved financial results are accurate, complete and free from any other issues.

What has been sent along

• A revised and corrected Statement of Audited Financial Results, incorporating the rectified cash flow statement, is enclosed for the exchanges' record.
• For scale, the balance sheet as at March 31, 2026 shows total assets of 12,478.34 and cash and cash equivalents of 1,669.52 (amounts stated in INR Lakh).

Why it matters to a retail investor: a cash flow statement tracks actual cash moving in and out of the business, so a wrong entry in the Income-taxes paid line can give a misleading picture of how much tax was paid in cash during the year. The company's stated position is that the correction changes that line only, and that profit, operating profit and the balance sheet as approved earlier stand unchanged.
