Vinayak Vanijya Q2 profit relied on other income, not revenue

Vinayak Vanijya Limited reported a Rs 1.52 lakh profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, despite recording nil revenue from operations, because Rs 1.98 lakh of other income exceeded Rs 0.46 lakh of expenses. Vinayak Vanijya nevertheless reported a Rs 1.39 lakh loss for the half year ended September 30, 2026.

How did Vinayak Vanijya make a quarterly profit with no operating revenue?

Vinayak Vanijya made its quarterly profit because other income of Rs 1.98 lakh, rather than revenue from operations, was greater than total expenses of Rs 0.46 lakh. Revenue from operations was nil for the September 2026 quarter, matching the nil reported for the June 2026 quarter and the half year ended September 30, 2026. The company consequently reported total income of Rs 1.98 lakh and profit before tax of Rs 1.52 lakh.

The reported net profit was also Rs 1.52 lakh because the quarterly statement showed no current or deferred tax expense for the period. Basic and diluted earnings per share were Rs 0.16, compared with losses per share of Rs 0.30 in the June 2026 quarter and Rs 0.20 in the September 2025 quarter. The results classify the business as a single segment, so they do not provide a separate operating-segment explanation for the absence of revenue.

What changed from the June quarter and last year?

Vinayak Vanijya moved from a Rs 2.90 lakh loss in the June 2026 quarter to a Rs 1.52 lakh profit in the September 2026 quarter, primarily because expenses fell rather than income increasing. Other income declined by Rs 0.42 lakh from Rs 2.40 lakh to Rs 1.98 lakh, while total expenses fell by Rs 4.84 lakh from Rs 5.30 lakh to Rs 0.46 lakh. The June quarter included Rs 0.81 lakh of employee-benefit expense and Rs 4.48 lakh of other expenses.

Against the September 2025 quarter, other income decreased from Rs 2.24 lakh to Rs 1.98 lakh, but other expenses declined from Rs 4.18 lakh to Rs 0.46 lakh. That change converted a Rs 1.94 lakh loss a year earlier into the current Rs 1.52 lakh profit. The September 2026 quarter had no employee-benefit expense, finance cost or depreciation charge, whereas the comparative quarter reported Rs 4.18 lakh of other expenses.

Why did Vinayak Vanijya remain loss-making for the half year?

Vinayak Vanijya remained loss-making for the half year because Rs 4.38 lakh of other income was lower than Rs 5.77 lakh of total expenses, producing a Rs 1.39 lakh loss before and after tax. The half-year result contrasts with a Rs 0.28 lakh profit for the half year ended September 30, 2025. Operating revenue was nil in both six-month periods, making the result dependent on other income and the level of expenses.

Expenses in the first half included Rs 4.95 lakh of other expenses, Rs 0.81 lakh of employee-benefit expense and Rs 0.01 lakh of finance cost. In the prior-year half year, total expenses were Rs 4.19 lakh against other income of Rs 4.47 lakh. The move to a loss followed a Rs 0.09 lakh decline in other income and a Rs 1.58 lakh increase in expenses.

What do Vinayak Vanijya’s cash flows show for the half year?

Vinayak Vanijya reported Rs 11.47 lakh of net cash used in operating activities in the half year ended September 30, 2026, compared with the Rs 1.39 lakh accounting loss before tax. The operating cash calculation included Rs 4.96 lakh used through an increase in other current assets, Rs 0.56 lakh from a reduction in trade payables and Rs 0.19 lakh from a reduction in other current liabilities. It also recorded Rs 4.38 lakh as interest received within the operating section as presented.

Investing activities generated Rs 22.62 lakh, including Rs 18.24 lakh described as cash advances and loans made to other parties and Rs 4.38 lakh of interest received. Financing activities used Rs 0.01 lakh, resulting in a reported Rs 11.14 lakh increase in cash and cash equivalents from Rs 22.72 lakh at the beginning of the period to Rs 33.86 lakh at the end. The balance-sheet statement separately reports cash and cash equivalents of Rs 33.53 lakh and bank balances of Rs 0.33 lakh at September 30, 2026.

What was Vinayak Vanijya’s financial position at September 2026?

Vinayak Vanijya reported total assets of Rs 1.9377 crore at September 30, 2026, funded by Rs 99.60 lakh of equity share capital, Rs 81.76 lakh of other equity and Rs 12.41 lakh of current liabilities. Non-current assets totalled Rs 1.155 crore, including Rs 80.66 lakh of loans, Rs 18.86 lakh of investments and Rs 15.28 lakh of deferred-tax assets. Current assets were Rs 78.27 lakh.

Current assets included Rs 42.63 lakh of other current assets, Rs 33.53 lakh of cash and cash equivalents, Rs 1.78 lakh of inventories and Rs 0.33 lakh of other bank balances. Current liabilities included Rs 2.60 lakh of borrowings, Rs 2.85 lakh of trade payables due to creditors other than micro and small enterprises, and Rs 6.96 lakh of other current liabilities. Vinayak Vanijya’s separate outstanding-default disclosure reported nil total financial indebtedness, while the asset-and-liability statement lists the Rs 2.60 lakh current borrowing.

Conclusion

Vinayak Vanijya’s September-quarter profit reflected a sharp reduction in reported expenses while operating revenue remained nil. Other income of Rs 1.98 lakh supplied all reported income in the quarter, and the Rs 1.52 lakh profit followed losses in both the immediately preceding quarter and the comparable quarter a year earlier. For the half year, Rs 5.77 lakh of expenses exceeded Rs 4.38 lakh of other income.

The filing does not identify the source of other income or disclose a plan, target or scheduled event concerning the return of operating revenue. Subsequent disclosures would therefore need to clarify whether revenue resumes and provide further detail on the Rs 80.66 lakh non-current loan balance, Rs 42.63 lakh of other current assets and loan-related cash-flow movements.
