Risks & Concerns:

Business of TJLs depends, in part, on factors affecting consumer spending that are out of its control.
TJL proposes to invest major portion of Net Proceeds towards establishing retail stores. However, it has limited operating

history in retail business.

Any fluctuation in price and supply of gold and polished diamonds, which account for the majority of its total raw material

costs, could adversely impact its income.

operations.

cannot be assured that sales from export operations will continue; if not, its income may decline.
TJL is exposed to currency exchange risks, since its income on account of overseas clients is denominated in U.S. Dollar

and its operating expenses are denominated in Rupees.

Failure to develop and introduce new jewellery designs that achieve customer acceptance could result in a loss of market

opportunities.
Ineffective execution of marketing programs and reduced marketing expenditure could have an adverse effect on TJLs

sales.
Failure to manage TJLs inventory could have an adverse effect on its net sales, profitability, cash flow and liquidity.
Entire sales for export operations are made utilizing credit provided by TJL to its customers. Therefore, any deterioration in

the consumers financial position could adversely impact sales and income.

gold on loan basis may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operation.
Changes in consumer attitudes to jewellery could be unfavourable and harm jewellery sales.
TJL has significant working capital requirements and its inability to meet its working capital requirements may have an

adverse effect on its results of operations.

TJL avail certain tax benefits under SEZ Act and other fiscal statutes. These tax benefits are available for a definite period of

time, which upon expiry or if withdrawn prematurely, may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
TJL has entered into an MoU with M. Fabrikant & Sons which contained certain restrictive covenants.

Extract from grading rationale by CARE:

The grading of Tara Jewels Limited (TJL) reflects the experience of the promoters in the Gems & Jewellery industry, fully
integrated operations with established marketing and distribution channel and established relationship with clients. The
grading also takes into account the consistent growth in the operating income and the companys diversified product profile.
The grading is constrained by TJLs high operating risk arising out of the customer and geographical concentration of sales,
working capital intensive operations, susceptibility to volatility in raw materials prices and foreign exchange fluctuation risk.
The grading also factors TJLs planned expansion in highly competitive jewellery retail business in India and economic
uncertainty in the companys major export market.
