Risks to Investors:

I. Risk Factors associated with our Company. 

1. Proforma Financials: Since September 12, 2022 our Company owns 100% of the equity shareholding of our Subsidiaries. As our Company did not own 100% of the equity shareholding of our Subsidiaries until September 12, 2022, the Restated Consolidated Financial Information does not include financial information for our Subsidiaries prior to their acquisitions by our Company. Accordingly, our Restated Consolidated Financial Information, as of, and for the nine month period ended December 31, 2022, and as of, and for the years ended, March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, are not comparable to any future financial results that we may prepare. In addition, because of their nature, our Proforma Consolidated Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent our factual results of operations or financial condition. 

2. Customer Concentration: We are dependent on, and derive a substantial portion of our revenue from, a single customer, Signify Innovations India Limited, erstwhile Philips India and revenue from Signify accounted for 70.04%, 91.23%, 94.60% and 95.63%, respectively, of our restated revenue from operations and accounted for 51.31%, 60.45%, 70.76% and 61.07%, respectively, of our proforma consolidated revenue from operations. Further, over 85% of our revenue is derived from our top twenty customers on a restated basis and a proforma consolidated basis for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and Fiscal 2022. Cancellation by our top customers or delay or reduction in their orders could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

3. Product Concentration: We are dependent on, and derive a substantial portion of our revenue from, LED lighting products. Our revenue from operations on a restated basis in the LED lighting category accounted for 91.27%, 91.59%, 94.25% and 95.85%, respectively, of our restated revenue from operations. In the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and in Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, our revenue from operations on a proforma consolidated basis in the LED lighting category accounted for 86.05%, 86.78%, 87.26% and 85.21%, respectively, of our proforma consolidated revenue from operations. Any reduction in orders from our LED lighting product line could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

4. Dependence on Third Party Suppliers: We rely on a number of third party suppliers for our key components, materials and stock-in-trade as well as customer support services including product repairs and returns. Further, we do not have any long term contracts with any of the suppliers. Any shortfall in the supply of our components and raw materials or an increase in our component or raw material costs, or other input costs, may adversely affect the pricing and supply of our products and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

5. Dependence on Imported Components: We rely on imported components from vendors in China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan and raw materials, and in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and in Fiscal 2022, imports accounted for 55.67% and 52.25% of our total raw materials purchased on a proforma consolidated basis. Any shortfall in the supply of our imported components and raw materials or an increase in our component or raw material costs, or other input costs, may adversely affect the pricing and supply of our products and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

6. Negative Cash Flows: We have experienced negative cash flows in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and in Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020. In particular, we have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021. 

7. No Long Term Arrangements with Customers: We do not receive firm and long-term volume purchase commitments from our customers. If our customers choose not to renew their supply contracts with us or continue to place orders with us, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected. 

8. Dependence on Manufacturing Facilities: Our business is dependent and will continue to depend on our manufacturing facilities, and we are subject to certain risks in our manufacturing process such as the breakdown or failure of equipment, industrial accidents, injury to employees, severe weather conditions and natural disasters. In addition, any strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by our employees could also interfere with our operations. Further, we do not own certain of the premises of our manufacturing facilities and corporate offices. While the lease agreements for our manufacturing facilities may be long term or short term lease in nature and provide us with an option to renew them, they also provide the lessor with the right to terminate the lease for non-compliance of the terms of the agreement. Further, our manufacturing facilities are located in Uttarakhand and the National Capital Region “NCR” exposing us to regulatory and other geography specific risks such as labour unrests, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence and occurrence of natural and man-made disasters. 

9. Sizeable Working Capital: We require sizeable amounts of working capital for our continued operation and growth. Our inability to meet our working capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. As at December 31, 2022, March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we had total outstanding working capital loans On a Restated Consolidated Basis aggregating to ₹ 874.84 million, ₹ 147.22 million, ₹ 28.72 million and ₹ 51.20 million, respectively. As at December 31, 2022, March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we had total outstanding working capital loans on a proforma consolidated basis aggregating to ₹ 874.84 million, ₹ 678.39 million, ₹ 347.70 million and ₹ 298.62 million, respectively.
