Recomputed from the FY25 standalone balance sheet the current ratio is 8.00; the basis of 7.71 is being verified. Debt Service Coverage Ratio is computed as earnings before interest and tax divided by finance cost (Rs.12.37 lakh on working-capital utilisation); the Company had no term-debt service obligations during the year.3.STATE OF THE COMPANY AFFAIRS, IF ANY.
The Company reported a net profit of INR 1,078.05 lakh on a standalone basis (previous year INR 1,708.92 lakh), while the consolidated net profit attributable to owners stood at INR 1,023.84 lakh (previous year INR 1,696.76 lakh). Revenue grew during the year; profitability declined on account of gross-margin compression in the second half, arising from own-brand stock-outs and rupee depreciation on imported purchases, and higher employee and other expenses as the Company invested in inventory depth, fulfilment capability and the team. The Board considers these to be operational rather than structural factors; corrective actions on own-brand availability, pricing and currency management are underway.
Listed on the SME Platform of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the Company remains steadfast in adhering to regulatory compliances and proactively embracing best corporate governance practices to foster transparency, accountability, and stakeholder trust. Looking ahead, the Board is optimistic about the Companys future prospects and remains committed to driving sustainable growth while enhancing shareholder wealth through innovation and operational excellence.
4. RESERVE AND SURPLUS
As of March 31, 2026, the Companys reserves and surplus stood at INR 15,512.29 lakhs. This comprises the Security Premium Account balance of INR 11,040.41 lakhs. The ESOP Reserve remained at INR 127.55 lakhs, reflecting the allocation towards employee stock options. The Statement of Profit and Loss account showed a cumulative balance of INR 4,344.33 lakhs, incorporating the opening balance and the profit earned during the year. The robust reserves underscore the Companys strong financial position and prudent management of equity and earnings.
5.INDUSTRY SCENARIO
The Indian dental care industry has been witnessing consistent growth, fuelled by increasing awareness of oral health, a rising middle-class population, and expanding access to dental care services in both urban and semi-urban areas. Advances in dental technologies, growing cosmetic dentistry trends, and improved insurance coverage are further driving demand for modern dental equipment and high-quality consumables. The sector is also benefiting from the growing presence of private dental chains and clinics, as well as a sharp rise in dental tourism due to cost-effective treatment options in India.
The dental equipment and supplies market in India is becoming increasingly competitive, with dental practitioners seeking efficient, reliable, and innovative products to improve patient outcomes and clinic efficiency. In response to this demand, the industry is shifting towards the adoption of digital dentistry, minimally invasive instruments, and premium-quality disposable products, ensuring hygiene and compliance with global standards.
In alignment with this evolving landscape, the Company is actively engaged in supplying a wide range of dental products, instruments, equipment, and consumables to dental clinics, hospitals, and practitioners across India. With a focus on operational excellence, product quality, and customer satisfaction, the Company continues to expand its reach and strengthen its position in the dental supplies market.

Through a strong distribution network, commitment to innovation, and adherence to regulatory compliance, the Company aims to support the dental fraternity by delivering high-quality, cost effective, and reliable solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern dentistry.

6. DIVIDEND:
The Board of Directors, after a comprehensive evaluation of all relevant factors, including the long-term interests of the Company, its financial performance, future growth requirements, and in alignment with the Companys Dividend Policy, has deemed it prudent not to recommend any dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This decision reflects the Boards commitment to conserving internal resources to support strategic initiatives and future expansion.
Further, during the year under review, the Company did not have any funds lying unpaid or unclaimed for a period of seven (7) years. Accordingly, there were no amounts required to be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) in terms of Section 124(5) of the Companies Act, 2013.
In line with the provisions of the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Amendment Rules, 2017, the Company was not required to file any forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs during the year, as no such transfer or related activity arose.
7. COMPANYS PERFORMANCE
The financial year ended March 31, 2026, saw continued growth in the Companys revenue. The total revenue from operations (standalone) amounted to Rs. 27,662.34 lakh, an increase of 11.0% over the previous years revenue of Rs. 24,915.29 lakh. This growth was primarily driven by a rise in demand across key product categories, deeper market penetration and strengthened distribution capabilities, net of the deliberate wind-down of approximately Rs. 39 crore of low-margin third-party offline trading.
The Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY 2025-26 stood at Rs. 1,078.05 lakh, as compared to Rs. 1,708.92 lakh in FY 202425, a decline of 36.9%. The decline reflects gross-margin compression in the second half of the year (stock-outs in the own-brand range and rupee depreciation on imported purchases) and higher operating costs from investments in people, systems and fulfilment capability.
The Company remained profitable and debt-free through the investment phase, with a net cash position of Rs. 45.91 crore (standalone) at the year-end. The Board expects gross margin to recover towards prior levels in FY 2026-27 as own-brand availability improves, subject to pricing actions and currency movements.

There was no change in the name of the Company during the period under review.

20. CREDIT RATINGS
CRISIL Ratings Limited rates the Companys long-term bank facilities of Rs.15 crore (Overdraft Rs.5 crore and Working Capital Demand Loan Rs.10 crore from ICICI Bank Limited). Following the Companys announcement of 1 August 2025 regarding the proposed acquisition of a 51% stake in IDS Denmed Private Limited, CRISIL placed the rating on Crisil BBB/Rating Watch with Developing Implications (12 August 2025) and continued the watch on 7 November 2025, 5 February 2026 and 6 May 2026. After the mutual cancellation of the proposed acquisition was disclosed on 8 May 2026, CRISIL removed the rating from watch and reaffirmed it at Crisil BBB/Stable on 4 June 2026.
The rating reflects the Companys established distribution network and wide product portfolio (~470 domestic and international brands and more than 23,000 dental products), its strong technology-enabled operating platform and experienced management, and a healthy financial risk profile supported by a comfortable, debt-free capital structure and adequate liquidity. These strengths are partially offset by the growing but modest scale of operations and exposure to intense competition in the fragmented dental products distribution industry.
