Unitech Board Approves Q2 FY26 Results; Auditors Issue Disclaimer Amid Going Concern Doubts
Unitech's board approved Q2 FY26 results, but auditors issued a disclaimer of conclusion due to material uncertainty about going concern, an unapproved resolution framework, numerous unreconciled legacy financial issues, and extensive litigations.
The "Disclaimer of Conclusion" by statutory auditors on both standalone and consolidated financial results, along with explicit mention of "material uncertainty related to going concern" and numerous unreconciled financial items and legal challenges, signifies severe financial and operational instability. This has a high negative impact on the company's credibility and future prospects.
The auditors issued a "Disclaimer of Conclusion" on the financial results, citing material uncertainty related to the company's ability to continue as a going concern, an unapproved resolution framework, and significant unreconciled legacy issues including investments, loans, guarantees, statutory dues, public deposit defaults, and non-compliance with accounting standards.
Unitech Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on November 13, 2025, approved the Unaudited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025. The meeting commenced at 12:00 Noon and concluded at 2:10 p.m.
The Statutory Auditors, G S A & Associates LLP, issued a "Disclaimer of Conclusion" on the standalone financial results, highlighting several critical issues: * Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern: The company's ability to continue as a going concern is in significant doubt due to eroded net worth, incurred losses, and challenges in meeting obligations. Its future depends on raising finance, generating cash flows, and the Hon’ble Supreme Court's final decision on the Resolution Framework. * Unapproved Resolution Framework: The Resolution Framework for Unitech group, prepared by the new management and submitted to the Supreme Court, has not yet been approved. Consequently, the impact of proposed reliefs and concessions has not been considered in the books of accounts. * Impairment Assessment Lacking: No impairment assessment was conducted for significant investments in subsidiary companies (₹4,28,64.75 lakhs), joint ventures (₹5,40,57.28 lakhs), associates (₹299.25 lakhs), and unrelated companies (₹6,12,47.17 lakhs). * Recoverability Issues: Auditors were unable to conclude on the recoverability of loans and advances (₹45,08,09.16 lakhs from related entities, ₹3,73,52.53 lakhs from unrelated entities) and trade receivables (₹45,55.06 lakhs from related entities, ₹3,18,79.51 lakhs from unrelated entities) due to insufficient evidence for estimated loss allowance. * Corporate Guarantees: Insufficient evidence regarding the fair value of estimated loss allowance on corporate and bank guarantees amounting to ₹1,413,43.31 lakhs. * Unreconciled Balances: Numerous balances, including amounts recoverable from GNIDA (₹18,339.80 lakhs), variations with Supreme Court registry (₹9,34.15 lakhs), and various trade receivables/payables, bank balances, and loans, are pending reconciliation or confirmation. * Unpaid Statutory Dues: Statutory dues amounting to ₹79.29 lakhs (Income-tax), ₹0.59 lakhs (Professional Tax), and ₹24,42.87 lakhs (EPF) from the erstwhile management period remain unpaid. * Public Deposit Defaults: Principal amount of public deposits accepted for ₹5,29,12.98 lakhs is overdue. No provision for interest (current period: ₹32,37.04 lakhs, accumulated: ₹5,80,15.57 lakhs) has been made, potentially understating losses and public deposit value. * Debt Covenant Non-Compliance: Delays in payment of principal and interest on non-convertible debentures, term loans, and working capital loans totaling ₹10,53,022.01 lakhs (including accrued interest of ₹7,45,628.97 lakhs). * Non-Compliance with Ind AS 115: Revenue from real estate projects is accounted for using the percentage of completion method, which may not satisfy Ind AS 115 conditions in all cases. * Project in Progress Issues: Significant "Amount incurred in Project in Progress (on which revenue is not recognised)" of ₹9,331,17.05 lakhs, with no provision for onerous projects. Projects with physical possession handed over are still appearing under "Project in Progress." * Pending Litigations: The company has 2,441 litigations pending in the Supreme Court, with the potential impact not computable.
Financial Performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Standalone): * Revenue from Operations: ₹8,561.90 lakhs. * Total Income: ₹9,536.65 lakhs. * Net Loss for the period: ₹(39,730.80) lakhs, compared to ₹(46,858.69) lakhs for the same quarter last year. * Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS): ₹(1.52).
Other significant updates include the Supreme Court's direction to banks/financial institutions to explore One Time Settlement (OTS) with Unitech, and NOIDA's approval of revised layout plans for three main projects on September 8, 2025, though signed maps are yet to be issued. The company is also pursuing recovery of ₹48,131.00 lakhs from M/s Dandamundi Estate and Mr. D.A. Kumar in Telangana.
