Reading the books.
Position, result and cash flow for MUSIC, with the prior year beside every figure and the balance check on screen rather than assumed.
Aug 2026 against Aug 2025, Sixteen Frames Music, in INR. Read from the monthly summary, which is the same source as the statements below.
Statements are drawn one company at a time, chosen in the bar above. The group keeps its books in four currencies and there is no translation view, so no figure on this screen is added to a figure from another company — and there is no consolidated column for the same reason.
The balance sheet control returned no row at all.
The control itself could not be read, so the statements below are unverified. That is worth more attention than any figure on them.
For the month, with the same month a year earlier beside every figure rather than below it.

The income accounts, FY 2026-27. Every account of the result, with the code the books keep it under. Income is stated positive and cost negative, so each subtotal is an addition — gross profit is revenue plus cost of sales. Expense lines are ordered largest first within their block. Every figure opens: a month opens its documents, the year to date opens its months, and a subtotal opens the accounts or the subtotals it adds.
INR, for Aug 2026. Each bar is the movement between the two totals either side of it.
The monthly summary of Sixteen Frames Music, Aug 2026, read from Tally Prime. The same figures as the statement above.
The totals — revenue, gross profit, EBITDA and profit before tax — each open their own workings. The bars between them do not: each is the movement between the two totals either side of it, so a bar that opened a single caption would show something other than what it draws. The captions are in the statement above.

The monthly summary of Sixteen Frames Music. Both months.
Each is a control that ran against this period. Nothing here is written commentary.
This company reports in one segment. The group is organised by pillar and a company belongs to exactly one, so the segment note for a single company is a statement of which pillar its result sits in rather than a split of it.
Everything above is the music pillar. Sixteen Frames Music is the only company of the group in it. There is no other company to add it to, so the segment result is the company result.
