Concerns

    on the hike to the customer could impact profitability
  • Client Concentration: The company is largely dependent on a few customers, as the top one and top ten customers
    constitutes around 15% and 85% of the total income for the year 2010-11. . The loss of one or more significant
    clients will have an adverse effect on its revenues.
  • Outstanding Litigations: There are number of outstanding litigations against other group companies and the
    promoter which are under various stages of proceeding in courts or regulatory authorities.
