[ScanX](https://scanx.trade/stock-market-news/companies/munoth-financial-services-q2fy27-results-net-profit-turns-positive-0/56114744) said the swing came as a gain on fair value of investments offset a decline in operating revenue.\n\nMunoth Financial Services is a Chennai-based public company incorporated in 1990 and listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data).

Employee benefit expenses rose to ₹7.99 lakh from ₹5.09 lakh a year earlier.\n\nScanX said the gain on fair value of investments made up more than half of total revenue for the quarter, and that revenue from operations alone was insufficient to cover total expenses.
