Risks and concerns
Maximum revenue comes from limited customers: The company is dependent on certain customers who have contributed a substantial portion of its total revenues. The company garnered 69.25%, 83.72% and 65.45% revenue from top 10 customers in FY24, FY23 and FY22 respectively. There is no guarantee that it will retain the business of its existing key customers or maintain the current level of business with each of these customers. Maintaining strong relationships with its key customers is, therefore, essential to sustain the growth of its business. The loss of any key customer may significantly affect its revenues, and it may have difficulty securing comparable levels of business from other customers to offset any consequent loss.
Geographical constrain: The company generates major domestic sales through its customers situated in Maharashtra. For 3 months’ period ended June 30, 2024 and for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, its revenue from Maharashtra region represented 96.87% and 95.26%, respectively, of the revenue from operation for such period. Such geographical concentration of its business in this region heightens its exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic and demographic changes in this region, which may adversely affect its business prospects, financial conditions and results of operations.
Business relies heavily on capital investments: The company requires a substantial amount of capital for the procurement of IT equipment, such as laptops, desktops, printers, servers, and various peripherals, including projectors and storage devices. Failing to secure additional financing on commercially acceptable terms could have a negative impact on its ability to expand its business and enhance or sustain future profitability. As of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, its net fixed assets amounted to Rs 920.41 lakh, Rs 960.53 lakh, Rs 989.78 lakh and Rs 1,205.38 lakh, respectively, with gross asset values of Rs 4,492.01 lakh, Rs 4,552.12 lakh, Rs 4,715.71 lakh and Rs 5,267.09 lakh, respectively. There is no guarantee that it will be able to access additional financing in a timely manner or at all. If it is unable to obtain the necessary funds when required or on terms it finds acceptable, it may be compelled to downsize or even abandon its expansion and growth plans, or reduce capital expenditure and the scope of its operations. Any of these outcomes could have a significant and detrimental impact on its business, financial position, and operational results.
