In the opinion of the Board of Directors of our Company, since the date of the year in this Prospectus, there have not arisen any circumstance that materially or adversely affect or are likely to affect the profitability of our Company or the value of its assets or its ability to pay its material liabilities within the next twelve months.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our business is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" on page 20 beginning of this Prospectus.

1. Disruptions to the supply, or increases in price of raw materials andfinished products

Raw materials price volatility caused by various factors such as the quality and availability of supply, consumer demand, changes in government programs and regulatory sanctions. Our suppliers may be unable to provide us with a sufficient quantity of our raw materials at a suitable price for us to meet the demand for our products. The prices and supply levels of raw materials are dependent on factors, which are not in our control such as general economic conditions, competition, production levels and transportation costs.

Any increase in raw material prices may affect our procurement of raw materials and will result in corresponding increases in our product costs, while the increase in the selling price of the finished products may not be in proportionate to the increase in raw material price. Such change in pricing may adversely affect our sales, cash flow and our overall profitability.

Our Companys cost of raw material consumed was 98.45 %, 94.37 % and 86.65 % of our revenues from operation in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. If we are unable to manage these costs or increase the prices of our products to offset these increased costs, our margins, cash flows and our profitability may be adversely affected.

2. Concentration of business operations in the State of Gujarat

Our Company operates only in the state of State of Gujarat. Such geographical concentration of our business in the Gujarat region heightens our exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic and demographic changes in the region, which may adversely affect our business prospects, financial conditions and results of operations.

3. Our business is dependent on our manufacturing facility and the loss of or shutdown of operations of any of these facilities could adversely affect our business

Our facility at Gujarat are subject to operating risks, such as shutdowns due to the breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, adequate utilisation rates, obsolescence of equipment, labour disputes, strikes, lockouts, industrial accidents, disruption by extremist groups, or any other reason, and the need to comply with the directives and regulations of the Government of India ("GoI") and relevant state government authorities. Our operations involve a significant degree of integration, and our results of operations are dependent on the successful operation of each facility. Although we take precautions to minimize the risk of any significant operational problems at our facilities, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected b y any disruption of operations at our facilities.

4. Competition

The market in which our Company is doing business is highly and increasingly competitive and unorganised, and our results of operations and financial condition are sensitive to, and may be materially adversely affected by competitive pricing and other factors. Competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins, lost market share or a failure to grow our market share, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

5. Dependence on the knowledge and expertise of our Promoters, Directors, KMPs and SMPs

We depend on the management skills and guidance of our Promoter for development of business strategies, monitoring their successful implementation and meeting future challenges. Further, we also significantly depend on the expertise, experience and continued efforts of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management. Our future performance will depend largely on our ability to retain the continued service of our management team. If one or more of our Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management are unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, it could be difficult for us to find a suitable or timely replacement and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

6. Lapses in precision, accuracy or quality control in our products may lead to customer dissatisfaction, product rejections, reputational damage, or financial losses

Our products are often tailored to meet specific customer requirements relating to chemical use for dyeing and printing. As our products are used for dyeing or printing on the textile with technical specifications are critical and even a minor deviation in quality may result in product rejection or loss of customer confidence. Further, inaccuracies in formulation of chemical could result in compliance breaches for our customers. Thus, maintaining a high degree of precision in product design and execution is essential.

QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our longterm debt obligations with floating interest rates. We manage our interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. For further information, see "Financial Indebtedness" on page 221.

Effect of Inflation

We are affected by inflation as it has an impact on the salary, wages, etc. In line with changing inflation rates, we rework our margins so as to absorb the inflationary impact.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from our receivables from deposits with landlords and other statutory deposits with regulatory agencies and also arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. We assess the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. We limit exposure to credit risk of cash held with banks by dealing with highly rated banks and institutions and retaining sufficient balances in bank accounts required to meet a months operational costs. We review the bank accounts on regular basis and fund drawdowns are planned to ensure that there is minimal surplus cash in bank accounts.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations as they become due. We manage liquidity risk by ensuring, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due.
