FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND STATE OF COMPANY'S
AFFAIR:

The Indian radio industry demonstrated remarkable resilience in
the financial year 2024-25, adapting to shifting market dynamics
and evolving consumer preferences. As a vital part of the
country's media ecosystem, the industry continued to innovate,
leveraging technology to enhance audience engagement and
drive growth.

Despite global economic uncertainties and geopolitical
challenges, India maintained its position as the fastest-growing
major economy. In line with this, the radio industry showed
steady signs of recovery, with FM stations across the nation
witnessing an upswing in advertising revenues and listener
engagement.

A key highlight of financial year 2024-25 was the rapid integration
of digital platforms within the radio industry. FM broadcasters
increasingly embraced online streaming, mobile applications,
and social media to extend their reach and create immersive
listener experiences. This shift not only expanded the industry's
digital footprint but also unlocked fresh avenues for content
delivery, audience interaction, and brand partnerships.

With evolving listener preferences, radio stations focused
on delivering diverse and engaging content across multiple
genres. From music and talk shows to podcasts and interactive
segments, programming was tailored to foster deeper audience
connections and enhance listener loyalty.

The advertising sector within the radio industry also saw a
positive turnaround during financial year 2024-25. Brands
and advertisers recognized radio's ability to effectively reach
hyperlocal and regional audiences, leading to increased
advertisment spends. The festive season, in particular, drove
a notable surge in advertising revenue, fueled by heightened
consumer sentiment and strong market demand.

The financial year 2024-25 marked a phase of recovery,
evolution, and transformation for the Indian radio industry,
reaffirming its enduring relevance in a rapidly digitizing world.
With a continued emphasis on innovation, content excellence,
and audience engagement, the industry is well-positioned for
sustained growth in the years ahead.

Turnover of the Company was ' 23,448.11 lakhs for the financial
year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to ' 22,853.85 lakhs
over the previous year. During the year, the carrying amount
of Company's net assets exceeded its market capitalisation. This
reduction in market capitalisation triggered the requirement for
the Company to compute the value in use of the cash generating
unit (CGU) to which these assets belong. The Company has
computed the value in use of its net assets and the said value
is lower than the carrying value of its net assets by '3,492.99
lakhs. Accordingly, the impairment loss of '3,492.99 lakhs has
been provided for in the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
The Profit/ (Loss) after taxes is ' (3,383.70) lakhs, as compared to
' 684.42 lakhs in the previous year.
