The Company has emphasized the significance of managing the organization’s risks. A Risk Management Committee has been established comprising of the Deputy Managing Director as the Chairman and executive officers from all work departments as members of the committee to constitute a total of 10 members. In the year 2010, 12 meetings were held, during which risks of the entire organization were identified and prioritized, and risk management guidelines imposed on designated officers in order to implement measures to control and maintain risks at acceptable levels. The important risks identified are as follows:

1. Market Risks
1.1 Having few major customers. The Company is seeking new customers in order to spread this risk.
1.2 Highly competitive market affecting sales volumes. The Company undertakes innovative developments of raw materials and design in order to create product differentiation.

2. Production Costs
2.1 Fluctuations of world cotton prices have affected future costs of textile. The Company has entered into textile futures contracts, including raw materials which are cotton alternatives, in order to reduce raw material costs of production.
2.2 Labour shortage, which has become increasingly difficult to recruit and more costly, has compelled expansion of the production base to other provinces, including the procurement of hired producers. In the future, this expansion of production base could also incorporate neighbouring countries.

3. Human Resource
The Company has implemented a personnel development plan in order to ensure sufficiency and congruency with the Company’s continual business expansion. Personnel development has especially been carried out with regard to filling key positions through a Succession Plan and Individual Development Plan.

4. Finance
The Company has minimized the impact of exchange rate fluctuations through the use of natural hedge, as well as by entering into foreign currency futures contracts as appropriate for any particular time.
