All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

b) USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, during the reporting year. Examples of such estimates include estimates of provision for slow moving and obsolete stock, provision for doubtful trade receivables, provision for warranty. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.

c) CURRENT & NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets:

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a) It is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Companys normal operating cycle; b) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; c) It is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or d) It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

e) OPERATING CYCLE

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companys normal operating cycle and other criteria set out above which are in accordance with the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets for providing of services and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current & non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

f) PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

(i) Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment would be stated at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. All costs incurred in bringing the assets to its working condition for intended use to be capitalized.

Subsequent expenditures related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipment are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Property, Plant and Equipment acquired in a used condition are initially recognised at their fair value as on the date of acquisition, including directly attributable costs necessary to bring the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Such assets are depreciated over their remaining useful lives as estimated by the management, in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(ii) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its materials, service costs and other direct related expenses (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company.

g) DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION

The depreciation is computed by considering the useful life of the asset as per Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 under Straight Line Method (SLM). If the Management s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is different from the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at the applicable rate based on such different useful life as per the advice obtained from a competent technician.

Intangibles assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method.

Goodwill on acquisition are amortized on straight line method basis over five years in pursuance of provisions of AS 14 - Accounting for Amalgamations.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment acquired in a used condition is provided on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the asset, as estimated by the management, in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

h) INVENTORIES

Inventories comprises of Raw Material, Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out principle.Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes raw material costs (net of recoverable taxes), direct cost of conversion and proportionate allocation of indirect costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

i) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that do not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than it carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

j) INVESTMENTS

Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific identification basis.

Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of investment, determined individually for each investment. Cost of investments sold is arrived using average method.

k) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS

Income and expense in foreign currencies are converted at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on translation at the balance sheet date is recognized in Profit & Loss Account in the year in which it arises.

l) BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

m) PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

n) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sale of Goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which, under the

Company s Ex-Factory terms, occurs at the time the goods are made available at the Company s premises and are ready for dispatch. At this point, the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer.

Accordingly, revenue from both domestic and export sales is recognised when the goods are made available at the factory gate, in accordance with the agreed terms of sale and contractual arrangements with customers.

Insurance claims are accounted on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.

Sale of Services

Revenue is primarily recognised from engineering services rendered on Time and Material contract basis. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised using the proportionate completion method, which is determined relating the actual project cost of work performed to date to the estimated total project cost for each period.

o) OTHER INCOME

Interest Income on fixed deposit is recognized on time proportion basis. Other Income is accounted for when right to receive such income is established.

p) TAXES ON INCOME

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS-22) Accounting for taxes on income , notified under Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2021. Income tax comprises of both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured on the basis of estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The tax effect of the timing differences that result between taxable income and accounting income and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods are recorded as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. They are measured using substantially enacted tax rates and tax regulations as of the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets arising mainly on account of brought forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under tax laws, are recognized, only if there is virtual certainty of its realization, supported by convincing evidence. Deferred tax assets on account of other timing differences are recognized only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty of its realization.

q) CASH AND BANK BALANCES

Cash and cash equivalents comprises Cash-in-hand, Current Accounts, Fixed Deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Other Bank Balances are short-term balance (with original maturity is more than three months but less than twelve months).

r) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that have changed the number of equities shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share or increase the net loss per share. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

s) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Defined Contribution Plan:

Contributions payable to the recognised provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of profit and loss.

Defined Benefit Plan:

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employee. The plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary payable for each completed year of service without any monetary limit. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. Provision for gratuity has been made in the books as per actuarial valuation done as at the end of the year/period.

t) SEGMENT REPORTING

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors. Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities .

Fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025

Revenue from Operations

The Revenue from Operations of our company for fiscal year 2026 was 14,876.7 Lakhs against 2,210.01 Lakhs for Fiscal year 2025. An increase of 573.15% in revenue from operations. This increase was primarily attributable to the huge increase in the revenue from Defence sector from 150.08 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to 10,325.82 Lakhs in Fiscal 2026. Contributing 69.41% of the total revenue. The Railways sector also increased from 1,503.60 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to 3,517.19 Lakhs in Fiscal 2026 remained strong at 23.65%.

Other factors that affected the increase in revenue is as follows:

Quality Assurance: As a manufacturer for high-precision sectors like Defence and Aerospace, the company maintains strict quality standards. The growth of the Quality Team has been vital in winning repeat business.

Capacity Expansion: Revenue growth was supported by the expansion of the Companys manufacturing facilities. Following the establishment of its first two units in 2023 and the addition of a sheet metal unit in 2024, the Company further expanded its manufacturing capacity with the commissioning of Unit-4 in Fiscal 2026, enabling it to cater to the increased order volume.

Technological Investment: The company invested 1,050.26 lakhs in plant and machinery in Fiscal 2025 and an additional 839.59 lakhs during fiscal 2026. While the 2025 investment was not fully available for that entire year, its current utilization is now driving growth.

Skilled Workforce Expansion: The increase in the skilled workforce from 120 employees in Fiscal 2025 to 159 employees in Fiscal 2026 strengthened the Companys manufacturing and execution capabilities, contributing to the growth in revenue from operations.
