The Board of Zodiac Ventures Ltd, at its meeting on May 30, 2025, approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and full year ending March 31, 2025, along with an unmodified (clean) auditor's opinion. On a standalone basis, total income rose sharply to Rs 164.23 lakhs from Rs 83.26 lakhs in FY24, while profit after tax jumped to Rs 96.13 lakhs from Rs 38.78 lakhs. However, finance costs surged to Rs 234.21 lakhs from Rs 63.74 lakhs, and total liabilities grew meaningfully with borrowings rising to Rs 2,747 lakhs. The auditor's report highlights uncertainties around pending litigation in the associate company Zodiac Developers Pvt Ltd (including a Rs 8.75 crore advance written off following an unfavorable arbitration award) and recoverability of certain advances.
Strong top-line and profit growth year-on-year is positive, but the heavy debt load (borrowings roughly 1.9x equity), surging finance costs, and ongoing litigation/uncertainty around associate-level advances are key concerns for shareholders. Cash position has also weakened sharply, with closing cash falling to just Rs 2.15 lakhs from Rs 259.48 lakhs a year earlier.
