Naksh Precious Metals Reports Turnaround Amidst Auditor Concerns
Naksh Precious Metals Ltd announced a standalone net profit of Rs 0.08 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a significant turnaround from a net loss of Rs 58.74 lakh in the previous quarter.
Reader Takeaway: Profitability returns, but auditor's warnings on cash and advances signal governance risks.
What just happened
The company reported revenue from operations of Rs 26.12 lakh for the June 2026 quarter. This compares to Rs 34.11 lakh in the preceding March 2026 quarter and Rs 32.26 lakh in the June 2025 quarter. The net profit stood at Rs 0.08 lakh, a stark contrast to the net loss of Rs 58.74 lakh in the March 2026 quarter. The earnings per share (EPS) was Rs 0.00, compared to a negative Rs 0.56 in the previous quarter.
Why this matters
While the return to profitability is a positive signal, the accompanying limited review report from statutory auditors D G M S & Co. includes an 'Emphasis of Matter'. This highlights significant concerns regarding Rs 170.08 lakh in cash-in-hand (standalone) for which no supporting documentary evidence was provided. Additionally, the auditors noted outstanding advances to related parties with uncertain recoverability.
The backstory
In the previous quarter ended March 31, 2026, Naksh Precious Metals had reported a net loss of Rs 58.74 lakh on revenues of Rs 34.11 lakh. The June 30, 2025 quarter saw a net profit of Rs 7.79 lakh on revenues of Rs 32.26 lakh.
What changes now
The company's immediate focus will likely be on addressing the auditor's concerns. Investors will expect management to provide clear explanations and action plans for verifying cash balances and clarifying the status and recoverability of related-party advances. The market will closely monitor any further disclosures or actions taken in response to the auditor's emphasis of matter.
Risks to watch
The primary risks revolve around the company's financial transparency and governance. The lack of documentation for cash-in-hand and the uncertainty surrounding related-party advances cast doubt on the accuracy of reported assets and receivables. The ultimate recoverability of these advances remains a significant question mark.
