STATE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS & REVIEW OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS:

During the year under review,

the Company recorded Total Revenue of Rs.5,078.41 Lakhs, remaining slightly consistent with the previous year. Revenue from operations stood at Rs.5,021.12 Lakhs compared to Rs.5,097.31 Lakhs in the previous financial year, indicating a marginal dip of 1.49%. However, the Company continues to maintain a stable revenue base despite challenging market dynamics and competitive industry pressures.

The Total Expenses for the year stood at 4,883.77 Lakhs, reflecting a reduction of 104.78 Lakhs compared to 4,988.55 Lakhs in the previous year. This improvement is primarily attributable to effective cost control measures and operational efficiency enhancements undertaken during theyear.

As a result, the Company achieved a Profit before Tax (PBT) of 194.65 Lakhs, as against 164.34 Lakhs in the previous year, reflecting a growth of approximately 18.45%.

However, due to a net deferred tax impact of (93.77) Lakhs, as compared to a significant deferred tax gain of 598.98 Lakhs in the previous year, the Profit after Tax (PAT) for LY 2024-25 stood at 100.88 Lakhs, compared to 763.32 Lakhs in LY 2023-24. The previous year's PAT was exceptionally high due to recognition of deferred tax assets in line with IND AS principlesand improved profitability outlook.

Accordingly, the Earnings per Share (EPS) for the year stood at 1.11 as compared to 8.22 in the previous year.

Despite a relatively stable top-line performance, the net profit was moderated primarily due to the absence of deferred tax gain which had positively impacted the bottom line in the prior year. The operational performance, however, continues to reflect resilience and sustained efforts toward cost management, customer retention, and product optimization.

The Company remains focused on strengthening its core competencies, exploring new business opportunities, and improving operational efficiencies to deliver long-term shareholdervalue.
