Dear members,

The Directors submit the 23rd Annual Report of the Company along with the audited financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2013.

FINANCIAL RESULTS:

PARTICULARS (INR IN LAKHS) YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED 31.03.2013 31.03.2012

During the year under review your company achieved the following financial results:

BUSINESS ANALYSIS:

It has been a difficult year for the Company with the economy slowing down in India as well as globally. Despite slowing sales and mounting expenses, your company has been able to maintain profits for the period ending 31st March, 2013. Managing costs, maintaining margins and enhancing product quality have been focus areas for the year ended 2013. Business during the financial year 2013 was also affected due to absence of routine annual sales to Government departments such as the Cotton Corporation of India, Khadi Board and others. Fluctuations in the Rupee and a fledgling global economy have also affected free flow export orders from our long standing customers in the Middle East.

The tough times have forced your Directors to resort to innovative techniques like changing the product Mix, focusing on new growth markets and developing a new revenue stream to better tackle such adverse situations in future. Your Company is set to reap rich dividends from some of these new initiatives in the current fiscal. Your Company has been able to enhance sales & dispatches to new growth markets in the EMEA region, such as Bahrain North Africa, and others, with significantly higher margins. Your Directors are confident of getting back to high sales numbers in the current fiscal.

Setting up of the new machinery for straight through processing from Yarn to Fabric to Curing to Finishing has also enhanced the value added to products exported by your company. Output from the new large size machinery would contribute to the export revenues from the new fiscal 2014. The decision to diversify into new areas to increase revenues and profits has been put on hold for a year so as to enable the management to carefully evaluate each of the available diversification options and then take a decision.

Your directors are happy to inform that the earlier decision taken to set up facilities for manufacture of HDPE Tarpaulins and Flex banner fabrics, is considered the best option, and your company will progress this into action in the current financial year 2013-14.

Exports are a high margin business for your Company and with specific focus on exports, the new diversification should bring in tremendous bottom line growth to your Company. Such a diversification would not just enhance the bottomline, but also help conserve precious Foreign Exchange for the country. Your Directors have approached several Banks & Development Financial Institutions with their new proposal and a few banks have expressed interest in partnering with your Company. Your Directors are confident of achieving exponential growth in turnover and profits with this business diversification.

ISSUE OF SHARES:

Your Directors would like bring to your notice that the Share holders of the Company at the Annual General Meeting held on 22nd September 2012, passed a resolution authorizing the Board to proceed with the issue of Shares to an extent of INR 60,000,000 (Rupees Six Crores only) on rights basis by way of Special resolution. The reason for the said approval was as follows:

Your Company wants to expand the business operations and the Board considered it necessary to strengthen the capital of the Company in order to fuel the expansion. Moreover, the operations of the Company was adversely affected due to steep increase in input costs, increased borrowing costs, exceptional items on account of incremental power costs to mitigate continuing power cuts / power holiday situation and price increase due to customers not adequately compensating costs incurred. The adverse situations had also significantly affected the gearing of the Company with unsustainable level of debt.

To ensure long term stability in the operations of the company, the Company proposed to issue shares of INR 10/- each aggregating an amount up to INR 60,000,000 (Rupees Six Crores only) to the existing Shareholders of the Company. But considering the global market conditions, the board had decided to put on hold the planned Rights issue. While, as Per Section 81 (1A), the process of Rights issue must be completed in all respects within one year from the date of passing of Special resolution, your Company could not complete it as planned then.

Accordingly, the proposed issue of the said Equity Shares on a Rights basis to the existing Shareholders of the Company requires a fresh approval of members by a Special resolution in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Hence, this resolution is again placed before the members for their approval by way of a Special resolution with an enhanced amount of INR 180,000,000 (Rupees Eighteen Crores Only), thereby, superseding the resolution passed at the 22nd Annual General Meeting.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:

Your Directors wish to place on record their appreciation for the co-operation received from the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Bankers and look forward to such co-operation in the future as well. Your Directors would like to express their grateful appreciation to all the employees at all levels for their hard work, solidarity, co-operation and support during the financial year. Your Directors also wish to place on record their deep appreciation to customers, shareholders, vendors, suppliers and other stakeholders for their continued support.

BUSINESS ANALYSIS:

With the payment of this Final installment of Secured Loan your company has been able to release all encumbered assets.

Your company is at a strategic inflection point and we see an opportunity for transformational growth in its business and your Directors are in the process of putting in place a new growth strategy for your company.

The year under review was a difficult year for your company. While the Sales grew by 6% during year moving up to Rs. 10.29 Crores, the profits have fallen by 25% year on year to Rs. 42.86 Lakhs. The dip in profits was essentially due to the one time hit taken in the year for settling all outstanding secured creditors, and the interest payments due on the loans.

Your Directors were on the path to clear off all creditors to set the stage for a new beginning, and we are happy to confirm that your company is set to move forward in the right direction.

The new facility should be commissioned by the end of the second quarter of the current fiscal 2013.

Having put in place the right team and investments into the canvas fabrics business, your Directors have decided to diversify into new areas to support the planned growth. Several products have been evaluated for this purpose including setting up a line for manufacturing PVC Foam boards, HDPE Tarpaulins, and Flex banner fabric. Your Directors have completed a thorough study of market for each of these products and have worked with Consultants from these industries to get deeper insights into these product

segments.
