Risk Factors and Management Perception:

Risk is always associated with any kind of investment. So before taking decision on investing in the shares of Ocean Containers Limited, the investors should carefully analyze the following risks in addition to the information contained in the Information Document: (a) Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk is concerned with borrowed funds of short term and long-term maturity. Volatility in money market and increased demand for loans/investment funds raise the rate of interest. High rate of interest enhances the cost of fund of a Company and squeezes the profit.

Management Perception: Since the OCL has not borrowed fund at flexible rate, hence, the interest rate risk does not arise. b) Exchange rate risk: Exchange rate risk relates to transactions in foreign currency. The Company imports equipment from abroad where foreign currency is involved and exchange rate can impact such imports. Management Perception: As foreign currencies are available in money market, OCL can meet its foreign currency outflows. c) Industry risk: Like other companies, OCL also suffers from industry risks arising out of changes in customer choices. Management Perception: OCL continuously carries out research and development (R&D) to keep pace with the customer choices. d) Market & Technology related risk: Technology for a Containers Port is being upgraded in the world. Emergence of new technology may cause obsolescence of existing technology/equipment. So embracing with new technology is essential for ensuring better services at lower costs. Management Perception: OCL is aware of technological changes and has adopted new technology according to its needs. Further routine and proper maintenance of the equipment carried out by the OCL ensures longer service life for the existing equipment and facilities. e) Potential or existing Government regulations: Like other companies, OCL operations are affected by potential or existing Government regulations relating to port, import, foreign exchange, monetary and fiscal regimes. Management Perception: Since OCL is an infrastructure company, the Government regulations are mostly investment-friendly. f) Potential changes in global or national policies: The performance of the Company may be affected due to unavoidable circumstances both in Bangladesh and worldwide, such as war, terrorism, political unrest in the country or customer countries. Changes in global or national policies may also adversely affect the economy in general.

Management Perception: The risk due to changes in global or national policies is beyond control of any company. Yet OCL has spread its import from various countries of the world to reduce the risk. Further, it adopted policies to meet the challenges from potential changes in global or national policies. g) Non-Operating History: There is no history of non-operation in the case of OCL. Management Perception: To overcome these uncertainties, the Company has its own power backup, scientific inventory management and continuous market promotion systems, which reduce the non-operating risk. h) Operational Risk: Non-availability of materials/equipment/services may affect the smooth operational activities of OCL. On the other hand, the equipment may face operational and mechanical failures due to natural disasters, terrorist attacks, unforeseen events, lack of supervision and negligence, leading to severe accidents and losses. Management Perception: The Company is equipped with power backup system, which reduces operational risk. Besides, the equipment is under insurance coverage in order to get reasonable compensation for any damages. Apart from these, routine check and proper maintenance of the equipment also reduce and eliminate the operational risk.
