Punjab Communications Limited submitted its audited financial results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2025, which were approved by the board on June 3, 2025. Total revenue grew to about Rs 2,579.77 lakhs from Rs 2,200.72 lakhs (around 17% growth). Despite this, the statutory auditor issued an Adverse Opinion, citing several serious problems. Inventory was valued using the 'last purchase rate' instead of the company's stated FIFO method, creating an unreconciled gap of Rs 506.99 lakhs between book records and ERP data, in violation of Ind AS 2. Trade receivables of Rs 306.67 lakhs and trade payables of Rs 1,253.76 lakhs have been pending for over three years without proper audit evidence. The company also lacks an Expected Credit Loss policy required under Ind AS 109. Cash flow from operations turned sharply negative at Rs (939.19) lakhs. Exceptional items included small VRS expenses and OTS-related interest income. The auditor also noted a change from predecessor auditor Jain & Associates to Ashwani & Associates.
This is a serious red flag for investors. An Adverse Opinion means the auditor believes the financial statements do not present a true and fair view of the company, raising major doubts about earnings quality and asset values. Combined with negative operating cash flow and unresolved audit issues, shareholders should treat reported numbers with caution and expect potential regulatory follow-ups and negative market reaction.
