Sunshine Pictures risks and strengths

Risks the company lists
  • Our success is primarily dependent on audience acceptance of our film, web series and TV serials, which is extremely difficult to predict and therefore inherently risky. (p.33)
  • We are dependent on the Indian box office success of our films from which a significant portion of our revenues are derived and our ability to exploit and monetize our project is limited to the rights that we retain or own. (p.35)
  • We derive the majority of our revenue from our top 5 customers i.e. the Studios and independent distributors. (p.39)
2 more the company lists
  • We have sustained negative cash flows from operating activities in the past and may experience earnings declines or operating losses or negative cash flows from operating activities in the future. (p.41)
  • Our business is working capital intensive. If we experience insufficient cash flows to enable us to make required payments on our debt or fund working capital requirements, there may be an adverse effect on our results of operations. (p.42)
