The company shares good and long-standing relationships with its partners. The strategies of the company for further growth and expansion seem quite promising.

One of the biggest strength is its experience and good financial record over the last few years. The revenues and profit after taxes have been increasing continuously for the last 5 years.

Now let us discuss some of the risks related to the business of the company.

All the products of the company are manufactured at the Ambernath facility in Maharashtra which exposes the company to operating risks like the breakdown of equipment or industrial accidents, etc.

The nature of the business of the company is such that there is a long gap between the development and commercialization of products. A delay or failure in achieving commercialization may have a negative impact on the operations and financial health of the company.

Inadequate supply of raw materials or an increase in their costs may have adverse effects on the business and operations of the company.

The products and manufacturing facilities are subject to regulatory approvals and audits that need to be conducted by different regulatory authorities. Any inability to maintain or obtain such approvals may have significant effects on the operations of the company.

The company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations because of the export of its products to different countries. Also, various duties may also be imposed on the export of products which may affect the profitability of the company.

Majority of the revenues of the company are derived from some key products. Any decline in their demand could affect the profitability of the company.

It is also exposed to the risk of uncertainties associated with the pricing and demand for their products. The company, its promoters, Directors, etc. are involved in certain legal proceedings and any adverse ruling in them may pose a risk to the overall profitability of the company.
