RISKS & CONCERNS
Risk of heightened competitive activity from existing players at home and overseas.
Since substantial raw materials of the Company is imported, Foreign Exchange fluctuations, increase in oil prices and international freight etc. may have adverse impact on the cost of manufacture of the Co.s products. The Companys ability to pass on the cost increase by corresponding increase in the selling prices of its products is a constraint due to tough competition. However, our imports and exports are almost equal and therefore, we are more or less naturally hedged and are not much affected.

OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
Exports present a big opportunity for the Company for increasing the capacity utilisation and improving profitability. The Company has taken several steps to increase its presence in many countries.
On the domestic front also, there is an opportunity to further increase the market share because of the well-established brand image and support due to anti-dumping duty.
The Company has increased its production capacity to 5400 MT as planned.
Risk of imports of low priced toners coming into the domestic market has always been there. Imposition of Anti-Dumping Duty by the Govt. on black toner in powder form during the year has covered the risk to some extent.
The company is expected to keep up the current momentum in terms of its business projections.
No major threats are envisaged and the company is quite optimistic on future growth opportunities.
