What’s new

• FY26 audited net loss widens to ₹1.27 cr from ₹0.80 cr in FY25.
• Revenue drops 17% to ₹7.89 cr.
• Auditor issues qualified opinion on ₹2.17 cr in share application money (24 years under litigation) and ₹3.50 cr in long-term deposits.

Why it matters

At a market cap of just ₹26 cr, the auditor's unresolved concerns—₹2.17 cr in share application money and ₹3.50 cr in deposits—represent material uncertainty over asset recoverability. The repetitive qualification without provisions suggests a structural governance issue, not a one-off. Investors face deteriorating financial health.

What we’re watching

• Management's plan to resolve the 24-year-old litigation on share application money.
• Whether provisions or impairments are made in the next fiscal.
• Any regulatory action given the persistent audit qualification.

The full read

Khandwala Securities' FY26 results show a company in decline: revenue fell 17% to ₹7.89 crore and net loss widened to ₹1.27 crore from ₹0.80 crore. But the real story is the auditor's report. For the third consecutive year, the auditor qualified its opinion, flagging ₹2.17 crore in share application money tied up in litigation for 24 years and ₹3.50 crore in deposits of uncertain recoverability—neither provided for. At ₹26 crore market cap, these unresolved items constitute over a fifth of the company's valuation. The recurring qualification, without provisions or apparent progress, deepens governance concerns. This is not merely a routine results announcement; it is a warning sign for investors in a nano-cap stock.
