The report is a routine monitoring agency submission confirming no deviations in fund utilization, which is a standard compliance activity. While the company reported a profit in 9M FY26, the lack of fund utilization in the current quarter and the significant unutilized amount maintain a neutral sentiment.
Prime Focus Limited has submitted its Monitoring Agency Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as required by SEBI regulations. The report, issued by CARE Ratings Limited, confirms that there have been no deviations from the stated objects for the utilization of funds raised through a Preferential Issue of Equity Shares amounting to ₹5,552.02 crore. The company reported nil utilization of funds in Q4FY26, with the unutilized proceeds parked in liquid mutual funds. There were numerous transactions involving redemption and investment of mutual funds during the quarter, leading to a commingling of funds. Consequently, the Monitoring Agency relied on the management certificate and closing balances of mutual fund statements for classification.
The report details the progress of various objects, including the acquisition of shares in DNEG S.a.r.l., investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary, expansion of business operations, and general corporate purposes. While the original cost for the acquisition of shares in DNEG S.a.r.l. was ₹5,161.50 crore, no utilization occurred in Q4FY26, leaving the entire amount unutilized. Similarly, investments in subsidiaries and business expansion projects also show nil utilization for the quarter. General corporate purposes had an original cost of ₹97.63 crore, with ₹0.02 crore utilized during the quarter, leaving ₹97.61 crore unutilized.
The total unutilized proceeds as of March 31, 2026, amounted to ₹215.10 crore, primarily invested in liquid and arbitrage funds. The report also addresses the timelines for object implementation, noting that the acquisition of shares in DNEG S.a.r.l. has no specified completion date in the PAS-4 document. Other objects have timelines ranging from within 6 to 18 months from the receipt of funds, with ongoing progress reported. The company's financial performance for FY24 and FY25 showed net losses, but a net profit of ₹183.72 crore was reported for 9M FY26 at the consolidated level, while the standalone level reported a net loss of ₹7.07 crore for 9M FY26.
