Risk factors to consider:

The company faces considerable debt obligations with a high debt-to-equity ratio and low debt-service coverage ratio, posing risks to liquidity and debt repayment. Historical losses and potential future losses may impede growth opportunities and limit actions such as dividend distributions.

The company has previously experienced delays in submitting audited consolidated financial statements. There’s no guarantee that the company won’t face any consequences or actions due to this delay.

The company has previously rescheduled payments on credit facilities from its lenders and experienced delays in repaying both principal amounts and interest on loans due to this, a credit rating downgrade could hinder the company’s access to debt and potentially influence the market value of their Equity Shares.

The company has taken unsecured loans that lenders can demand back anytime, potentially affecting financial stability. Additionally, there’s a possibility of converting these loans into Equity Shares, potentially leading to dilution of existing shareholders’ holdings.

The company lacks recurring orders from customers annually or bi-annually, relying heavily on long-standing relationships, posing a significant risk of customer attrition. Any delays or defaults in client payments may lead to potential profit reductions.
