Financials and risk factors

PARTICULARS	FY23	FY22	FY21

Their business heavily relies, and will continue to do so, on their manufacturing facilities, exposing them to various risks inherent in the manufacturing process, such as equipment breakdowns, industrial accidents, and the potential impact of severe weather conditions and natural disasters.

Also, a substantial portion of their revenue is derived from a limited customer base, making them vulnerable to adverse consequences resulting from customer cancellations, delays, or reductions in orders. Such actions could significantly affect their business, financial status, and operational outcomes.

Their dependency on multiple third-party suppliers for crucial components, materials, and customer support services, including product repairs and returns, exposes them to risks. Shortfalls in the supply chain, escalated costs of materials, or other input expenses might disrupt product pricing and availability, thereby impacting their business, financial position, and operational performance.
