What's new

  • Income dropped 85% to ₹47.21 lakhs in FY26, down from ₹304.60 lakhs.
  • The company swung from a ₹173.96 lakh net profit to a ₹27.17 lakh net loss.
  • The net loss is now larger than the total income for the year.

Why this matters

An 85% collapse in core revenue for a nano-cap company is not a blip. The swing to a net loss on such thin income suggests the business is contracting to a point where its costs may no longer be covered.

What we're watching

  • Any explanation from management for the 85% revenue collapse.
  • Whether the company can reduce costs to match its shrunken income.
  • Any strategic changes to the custodian business model.

The full read

First Custodian Fund's income fell 85% to ₹47.21 lakhs in FY26. It posted a net loss of ₹27.17 lakh, reversing a ₹173.96 lakh profit. For a nano-cap with an ₹11 crore market capitalization, the loss now exceeds the income. That is the core problem. The revenue didn't dip; it collapsed. The filing offers no explanation for why income evaporated. What remains is a business model that may no longer cover its own costs.
