The Company has framed and implemented a Risk Management Policy to identify the various business risks. This framework seeks to create transparency, minimize adverse impact on the business objectives and enhance the Companys competitive advantage. The Risk Management Policy defines the risk management approach across the enterprise at various levels including documentation and reporting.

This helped monitor, report and review identified risks in addition to considering emerging risks. There are various elements of risk which, in the opinion of the Board, may threaten the existence of the company some of which are as follows:

Competition risk
