VFR only

Why does the report state that the SR20 is only approved for flight under Vfr conditions ? With AP garmin 430 etc why cant this fly IFR in IMC outside of controlled airspace or am I missing something ?
My best guess is page 21 "Aircraft information" of the report - it doesn't have backup Attitude Indicator. I would consider that a major issue for IFR approval anywhere. Can't remember a single Cirrus without it, this must be something special (or old?).
