- The trajectory of the ₹6.30 cr in advances on which interest isn't being booked.
- The company's ability to maintain its listing given the scale of the governance flags.

The real content is in the auditor's notes. They flagged ₹50.34 lacs in bad debts, a figure many times larger than the company's quarterly profit.
