Advance Lifestyles Limited reported a net profit of ₹44.83 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a substantial increase from ₹14.27 crore in the previous year. The company's board approved the audited standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, on May 27, 2026. However, the statutory auditors issued a qualified opinion on the results, citing the non-provision of interest on specific borrowings and outstanding liabilities.
Qualified Audit Opinion
Piyush J. Shah & Co., Chartered Accountants, issued a qualified opinion primarily due to three factors. The company obtained an unsecured loan of ₹35.12 crore from a related party, which it represents as interest-free, resulting in no interest expense recognition. Additionally, the company has outstanding liabilities of ₹7.59 crore payable to three parties; two are undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) and one is non-traceable. The auditors noted the absence of adequate evidence regarding terms and conditions to comment on the adequacy of non-provision of interest. Furthermore, the company granted short-term loans without charging interest, a contravention of Section 186(7) of the Companies Act, 2013, with the financial impact not assessed by management.
Financial Performance
The company recorded total revenue of ₹7.68 crore for FY26, up from ₹4.47 crore in FY25. Total expenses for the year stood at ₹3.20 crore compared to ₹2.96 crore in the previous year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the net profit was ₹4.06 crore, while basic earnings per share (EPS) increased to ₹7.20 for the full year from ₹2.29 in the prior year.
