Appendix: Key Risks

==> picture [158 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

Risk Risk Management
Demand Risk • The target industries are varied and demand can be affected in numerous ways, not the least Covid related, Government and
Defence spending, Construction industry, Private infrastructure and lack of confidence in delivery and pricing.
Capacity Risk • Access to raw materials has been restricted due to limited capital. Capacity issues are a risk to Sales as Sales are booked once the
product has been processed and delivered. Issues with machinery would also affect the capacity of production depending on
timing and the relevant machine
Product Risk • Each product is manufactured to ISO AS/NZS 9001:2015 and other Federal and State Government standards and by quality
assured by industry in the majority of its uses
Delivery Risk • The company had previously lacked inventory, working capital and manufacturing capacity to be able to meet delivery timeframes
in a timely manner. Delivery times are extremely important in the industry
Competition • Bambach’s main competition in specialised cables and wires is from offshore suppliers. The Company’s offering is competitive in a
weaker AUD rate environment and delivery time
COVID-19 • The Company has experienced a decline in orders in relation to COVID-19 through the first half of FY21.
