However, the statutory auditor raised concerns about an inter-corporate advance of ₹24,12,084.55 thousand to a company with eroded net worth and no viable revenue streams. The auditor noted non-compliance with Ind AS 109 due to lack of impairment recognition on this advance, which could potentially lower the company's reported profit.

Advance Lifestyles Limited , a company operating in the textiles and real estate sectors, has released its unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2025. The results, approved by the company's Board of Directors on November 11, 2025, reveal a mixed financial picture, with improved profitability but significant concerns raised by the auditors.
Financial Performance
The company reported a notable improvement in its financial performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2025:
| Particulars (in ₹ thousands) | Q2 2025 | Q2 2024 | H1 2025 | H1 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | 8,814.46 | 6,863.19 | 17,569.06 | 26,460.39 |
| Total Expenses | 7,507.23 | 7,240.58 | 15,031.40 | 14,564.21 |
| Net Profit | 1,304.93 | (317.60) | 2,535.35 | 9,911.35 |
| EPS (Basic & Diluted) | 0.21 | (0.05) | 0.41 | 1.59 |
Advance Lifestyles' revenue from operations in Q2 2025 increased to ₹8,814.46 thousand, up from ₹6,863.19 thousand in the same quarter of the previous year. This growth contributed to a net profit of ₹1,304.93 thousand for the quarter, a significant turnaround from the loss of ₹317.60 thousand in Q2 2024.
For the half-year ended September 30, 2025, the company reported a total revenue of ₹17,569.06 thousand and a net profit of ₹2,535.35 thousand. However, these figures are lower compared to the same period in the previous year, which saw a revenue of ₹26,460.39 thousand and a net profit of ₹9,911.35 thousand.
Auditor's Concerns
Despite the improved quarterly performance, the company's statutory auditor, Piyush J. Shah & Co., has issued a qualified review report. The auditor highlighted concerns regarding an inter-corporate advance of ₹24,12,084.55 thousand granted by Advance Lifestyles to another company. This recipient company has reportedly accumulated losses over the years, resulting in a complete erosion of its net worth and currently has no ongoing business operations or viable revenue streams.
The auditor noted that Advance Lifestyles has not recognized any impairment loss on this substantial inter-corporate advance. This lack of impairment recognition is not in compliance with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 109 on Financial Instruments. The auditor stated that if the company had assessed and recognized the impairment loss as per the standard, both the carrying amount of the advance and the profit for the period would have been lower, although the exact amount of this potential impairment remains unascertained.
Business Segments and Investor Relations
Advance Lifestyles Limited operates in two primary business segments: Textiles and Real Estate. However, the company noted that the disclosure requirements for segment reporting under Ind AS 108 are not applicable as none of the segments are considered reportable segments.
On the investor relations front, the company reported no pending complaints from investors as of September 30, 2025, and no complaints were received during the quarter under review.
Conclusion
While Advance Lifestyles Limited has shown improved profitability in the most recent quarter, the qualified review from the auditors raises significant concerns about the company's financial practices, particularly regarding the large inter-corporate advance. Investors and stakeholders may need to closely monitor how the company addresses these issues in the coming months, as they could potentially impact the company's financial health and future performance.
