Cranes Software Q1 Results: Auditors Issue Severe Qualified Conclusion on Going Concern
Cranes Software International approved its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, accompanied by extensive auditor qualifications. Statutory auditors noted that the company should not prepare accounts on a going concern basis given substantial negative net worth and multiple defaults. The qualifications highlight non-provision of interest on overdue debt, including Rs 290.85 cr in FCCBs (defaulted since April 2011) and Rs 390.06 cr in bank loans, as well as unprovided expected credit losses of Rs 9.26 cr on US subsidiary exposure.
