Risks
- Significant revenue from limited number of customers: The company derives its entire operational revenues from sale of chlorophenols in the domestic as well as overseas market. It depends on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of its revenues. Revenue from its top 10 customers constituted 82.08% and 74.78% of its net sales for fiscal 2015 and 2016 respectively.
- Geographical constraints: The company’s manufacturing operations have been geographically concentrated in the State of Gujarat. Though, the company has customer relations in various parts of India, its export market is limited to a few regions in U.S.A., Europe and Asia. Its total export sales for the financial year 2015-16 amounted to 44.35% of the total sales
- Competition: There are very few manufacturers of chlorophenol in India. The company sees Chinese manufacturers of chlorophenols as its primary competitors. It faces substantial competition on the basis of product range, product quality, and product price including factors, based on reputation, needs, and customer convenience
