RISK & CONCERNS

At MUL, all key functions and divisions are independently responsible to monitor risk associated within their respective areas of operations such as production, finance, insurance, shipping, legal and other issues like health, safety and environment.

Cylinders and terry towel products are globally traded commodities and their prices are subjected to international market forces of demand-supply and other factors that influence price volatility. With these two businesses presently accounting for the major proportion of MULs revenues, changes in global price levels will have an impact on the companys performance.

Your company has identified the following risks with possible impact on the company and the mitigation plans of the company:

Key Risk	Impact on the Company	Mitigation Plans
Commodity Price/availability Risk	Risk of price fluctuation on the basic raw- material like HR Coils, CRCoils, MS Bunk, Brass, Aluminum alloy, zinc- ingots, chemicals, Fabrics, grey yarn, Dye power etc.	Adequate level of raw material inventory has to be maintained at all times to ensure quick turnaround time for orders received. Any volatility in the prices or disruption in availability of raw material can impact the profitability of the Company. However, MUL has strong relationships with the raw material suppliers and optimum level of raw material.
Uncertain global economic environment- slow growth in global economy	Impact on demand and realization of Exports.	Companys business is quite diversified thereby diversifying the risk as well. Company keeps on reviewing new business opportunities.
Interest Rate-risk.	Any increase in interest rate can affect the finance cost.	Dependence on debt is minimum and we have sufficient funds with Banks to settle the entire debt in case need arises.
Compliance risk.	Any default can attract penal provisions.	By regularly monitoring and reviewing of changes in the regulatory framework and timely compliance thereof.
CompetitionRisk	Your company is always exposed to competition Risk from Asian Countries like Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan, and other African Countries. The increase in competition can create pressure on margins, market share etc.	By continuous efforts to enhance the brand image of the Company by focusing on R&D, quality, Cost, timely delivery and customer service. By introducing new product range commensurate with demands your company plan to mitigate the risks so involved.

As per global trend, all labour intensive manufacturing activities are being discontinued in the developed countries and are now shifting to developing countries wherein India is a preferred destination specially of products like Cylinders & Towels. The company is in an advantageous position as far as products manufactured are concerned.
