 Risk Management
 
 Today''s business environment remains challenging for the Corporate
 World and risk management retains its high position on every
 organization''s agenda. The Company has several risk factors which could
 potentially impact its business objectives, if not perceived and
 mitigated in a timely manner. With an effective risk management
 framework in place, the Company looks at these risks as challenges and
 opportunities to create value for its stakeholders. With its
 established processes and guidelines in place, combined with a strong
 oversight and monitoring system at the Board and senior management
 levels, the Company has a robust risk management strategy in place.
 
 The senior management team sets the overall tone and risk culture of
 the organization through defned 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 its journey of continued competitive sustainability in
 attaining its desired business objective.
