Why did Healthy Life's operating cash flow turn negative despite strong revenue growth?

A ₹3,362 lakh surge in trade receivables drove standalone operating cash flow to -₹2,797 lakhs. Receivables more than tripled to ₹4,933 lakhs, meaning the company booked sales but didn't collect the cash.

What compliance issues did the auditor flag?

NYS & Company flagged irregular TDS remittances, non-payment of provident fund and ESI dues, and delayed GST returns. The auditor also noted that inventory, debtors, and cash balances were certified solely by management.

How does the standalone result compare to the consolidated one?

On a consolidated basis, revenue grew 33% to ₹22,814 lakhs and net profit rose 23% to ₹399.53 lakhs. The consolidated receivables also ballooned to ₹12,716 lakhs from ₹3,172 lakhs.

What was the rights issue, and how was the money used?

Healthy Life raised ₹2,481 lakhs through a rights issue in November 2025. The company confirmed it has fully deployed the proceeds, but the filing doesn't specify the use.

₹10,707 lakhs Standalone FY26 revenue, up 66% year-on-year

What's new

FY26 standalone revenue jumped 66% to ₹10,707 lakhs, with Q4 alone contributing ₹5,189 lakhs.
Standalone operating cash flow swung to -₹2,797 lakhs as trade receivables more than tripled to ₹4,933 lakhs.
Auditor NYS & Company flagged irregular TDS remittances, unpaid PF/ESI dues, and management-only inventory certifications.

Why this matters

The top-line growth is genuine, but the business is burning cash to generate it. Receivables ballooned just as the company deployed ₹2,481 lakhs from a rights issue. An auditor calling out tax non-compliance and management-only certifications on a company this small is a governance alarm.

What we're watching

Whether trade receivables continue to balloon or collections tighten in Q1 FY27.
If the TDS and PF/ESI compliance lapses trigger regulatory penalties.
Where the ₹2,481 lakhs rights-issue proceeds were fully deployed.

The full read

Healthy Life Agritec reported a sharp 66% standalone revenue jump to ₹10,707 lakhs for FY26, with Q4 alone contributing ₹5,189 lakhs. The headline growth is real, but the cash flow is not. Standalone operating cash flow swung to -₹2,797 lakhs, driven by a ₹3,362 lakh surge in trade receivables that more than tripled to ₹4,933 lakhs. On a consolidated basis, receivables ballooned to ₹12,716 lakhs from ₹3,172 lakhs. The auditor, NYS & Company, flagged irregular TDS remittances, unpaid PF and ESI dues, and delayed GST returns. Inventory, debtors, and cash balances were certified solely by management. The company confirmed it fully deployed the ₹2,481 lakhs raised in its November 2025 rights issue. The growth is there. The cash is not. And the audit report makes the governance picture worse.
