 Risk Management
 
 Risk-taking is an inherent trait of any enterprise. However, if risks
 are not properly managed and controlled, they can affect the
 Company''s ability to attain its objectives. Risk management and
 internal control systems play a key role in directing and guiding the
 Company''s various activities by continually preventing and managing
 risks. The senior management team sets the overall tone and risk
 culture of the organization through defined and communicated corporate
 values, clearly assigned risk responsibilities, appropriately delegated
 authority, and a set of processes and guidelines. The Company has laid
 down procedures to inform Board members about the risk assessment and
 risk minimization procedures. The Company promotes strong ethical
 values and high levels of integrity in all our activities, which in
 itself is a significant risk mitigator.
 
 With the growth strategy in place, risk management holds a key to the
 success of the Company''s journey of continued competitive
 sustainability in attaining its desired business objectives.
