The reduced profiles of $C_2$ 5150.56, CN 3864.32, MgH 5150.20 and FeI 5150.84 lines, representing the penumbra, the penumbra-umbra boundary and the umbra of spa 6403 have been analyzed by comparing them with the synthetic profiles computed from a set of umbral and penumbral models. The results are presented and discussed. It is suggested that there may be a significant lateral flow of pbotospheric radiation into the umbral and penumbral regions of the sunspots.
