AUDIT COMMITTEE

The details pertaining to the composition of audit committee are included in the Corporate Governance Report, which forms part of this report.

SUBSIDIARY

(I) CRAVATEX BRANDS LTD (CBL)

The financial year 2017-18 witnessed a trailing impact of demonetisation. Initial glitches of GST implementation also played its part in slowing down the purchases by customers. Although these government initiatives were expected to benefit all in the medium to long term, the organised sector had to struggle to recover from the setback in the short term. The branded goods sector was among the worst hit due to deferred purchases by end customers and the wholesalers. CBL registered a turnover of Rs.11338 lacs and recorded a loss of Rs.1394 lacs before finance cost, depreciation and taxation with total comprehensive loss after tax at Rs.2100 lacs. Negative profitability was mainly on account of lower sales.

Sales were subdued in the early part of the financial year on account of the slow down due to demonetisation and the uncertainty on GST implementation. The worst affected were the sector of multi brand dealers. The market began settling down in the second half of the year, although margins remained under pressure. The company has taken corrective steps to increase its presence in large format organised retail, as well as rationalising its product mix and improve operational efficiency. The impact of these steps will be seen in the coming years.

Wellness sales grew at a slower pace than expected due to a slow down in the real estate sector. The whole market was impacted due to the revised GST rate of 28% which was prescribed for this sector. The rate was subsequently reduced to 18%. The sector also felt the impact of demonetisation and RERA. Against this backdrop, the division still performed profitably.

After a short disruption due to demonetisation and GST glitches, the domestic consumer goods industry is showing signs of recovery. With induction of new personnel at the top and middle level operating team, marketing initiatives, improved operations and innovative products, CBL is expected to perform better in the ensuing year.

(II) BB (UK) Limited (BBUK)

BBUK has completed its seventh year of operations. Apart from operating FILA license in UK, Ireland, Middle East and Africa, it provides sourcing services to overseas FILA licensees. During the FY 2017-18 the company’s performance had been extremely good. In INR terms the turnover grew from INR 108,26 lacs to INR 242,06 lacs recording an increase of over 123% and profit before tax from INR 201 lacs to INR 1001 lacs over previous year. Major sales revenue came from expansion in sourcing services to FILA licensees. The company has been successful in garnering the business on account of its efficiency and quality of services.

The overall improved outlook in both the subsidiaries augurs well for the company.

The salient features of the financial statement of the subsidiary is set out in the prescribed Form AOC-1, which forms part of the annual report.
