Revenue and Profitability Trends
Onesource Indus. reported a significant decline in net sales from ₹0.93 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2018 to ₹0.30 crore in March 2019. This contraction in top-line revenue was accompanied by a reduction in total operating income, which fell in tandem. The company did not record any other operating income in either year, indicating limited diversification of revenue streams.
Operating expenses remained relatively stable, with employee costs marginally decreasing from ₹0.55 crore to ₹0.46 crore, while manufacturing expenses dropped from ₹0.51 crore to zero. However, other expenses increased notably to ₹0.43 crore in the latest year from a negligible amount previously. Total expenditure excluding depreciation decreased slightly from ₹1.06 crore to ₹0.89 crore, but this was insufficient to offset the steep revenue decline.
Consequently, the operating profit before depreciation and interest (PBDIT) excluding other income swung further into negative territory, deteriorating from a loss of ₹0.13 crore to ₹0.59 crore. Even after accounting for other income, which also declined sharply, the company posted an operating loss of ₹0.55 crore in March 2019 compared to a modest profit of ₹0.10 crore the year before.
Profit before tax followed a similar downward trend, moving from a small profit of ₹0.05 crore to a loss of ₹0.61 crore. The net consolidated profit reflected this deterioration, with losses widening to ₹0.33 crore from a marginal profit of ₹0.02 crore. Earnings per share (EPS) correspondingly fell from a positive 0.07 to a negative 1.07, signalling a challenging period for shareholders.

Balance Sheet and Asset Position
The company’s balance sheet reveals a modest contraction in total assets from ₹5.31 crore in March 2018 to ₹4.69 crore in March 2019. Shareholders’ funds declined from ₹4.62 crore to ₹4.29 crore, reflecting the accumulated losses over the period. Minority interest, which was negligible in the previous year, rose to ₹0.36 crore, indicating some changes in ownership structure or consolidation.
Onesource Indus. maintained a debt-free position throughout the period, with no long-term or short-term borrowings reported. This absence of leverage may provide some financial flexibility despite operational challenges. The company’s net block of fixed assets remained stable at around ₹1.41 crore, with accumulated depreciation increasing slightly.
Current assets increased from ₹1.35 crore to ₹1.88 crore, largely due to changes in current investments and cash balances. However, cash and bank balances fell sharply from ₹1.06 crore to ₹0.09 crore, signalling tighter liquidity. Net current assets, including current investments, declined to zero from ₹1.28 crore, suggesting a more constrained working capital position.
Cash Flow and Operational Efficiency
Cash flow data for the fiscal year ending March 2019 was not reported, but the previous year showed negative cash flow from operating activities of ₹1.02 crore and significant investing outflows of ₹4.49 crore. Financing activities in that year provided a cash inflow of ₹5.69 crore, which helped maintain a positive net cash position. The closing cash and cash equivalents stood at ₹0.21 crore in March 2018 but were reported as zero in the following year, indicating a potential liquidity squeeze.
Operating margins have been under severe pressure, with the operating profit margin excluding other income plunging from -14.06% to -196.67%. Similarly, the profit after tax margin deteriorated from a positive 3.97% to a negative 193.33%, underscoring the company’s struggle to generate profits from its operations.

Summary and Investor Considerations
Overall, Onesource Indus. has faced a difficult period characterised by declining revenues, widening losses, and constrained liquidity. Despite maintaining a debt-free balance sheet, the company’s profitability metrics have deteriorated significantly, with negative operating and net margins. The reduction in cash reserves and net current assets further highlights operational challenges.
Investors should carefully weigh these financial trends against the company’s strategic outlook and sector dynamics. While the absence of debt reduces financial risk, the persistent losses and shrinking asset base may warrant caution. Monitoring future quarterly results and management commentary will be crucial to assess any turnaround prospects or improvements in operational efficiency.
