Kothari Industrial Corporation announced its standalone audited results for Q4 and FY25. Revenue from operations rose to Rs 76.81 crore in FY25 from Rs 67.64 crore in FY24, a growth of about 13.6%. Despite this, the company posted a net loss of Rs 16.17 crore for FY25, dragged down by exceptional items of Rs 49.82 crore (largely loss on sale of assets). Q4 FY25 alone showed a profit of Rs 13.02 crore before exceptional items. The statutory auditor Ray & Ray issued a qualified opinion with five qualifications: land title issues in Gujarat (repeated), missing balance confirmations, absence of stock valuation reports, insufficient evidence for related party transactions of Rs 11.63 crore, and an unverified government subsidy receivable of Rs 80 lakhs outstanding for over 8 years. The board also noted a Letter of Intent with Sharjah Environment Company LLC for a possible waste management JV, and approved Santosh Senapati & Co as Secretarial Auditor for five years.
The qualified audit opinion across multiple areas (asset title, receivables, inventory, related parties, subsidy) raises red flags on governance and internal controls. While revenue growth is positive, the bottom line remains in loss due to large exceptional write-offs, which shareholders should view cautiously. The company is undergoing strategic diversification into footwear, logistics, drones and waste management, funded partly by Rs 188.87 crore raised through preferential allotments.
