3. Management Discussion and Analysis Report

(a) Industry structure, Development & Future outlook

India''s textiles and clothing industry is one of the mainstays of the national economy. It is also one of the largest contributing sectors to Indian economy in terms of direct and indirect employment generation and net foreign exchange earnings. Textile sector contributes about 14% to industrial production, 4% to the gross domestic product (GDP), and 27 per cent to the country''s foreign exchange inflows. It provides direct employment to over 45 million people and second largest provider of employment after agriculture. Thus, the growth and all round development of this industry has a direct bearing on the improvement of the economy of the nation.

The Indian textiles industry accounts for about 24 per cent of the world''s spindle capacity and 8 per cent of global rotor capacity. The Cotton yarn production in India has increased by about 10 per cent during April

2013-February 2014 and the total cloth production grew by 3 per cent during the period April 2013ÂFebruary 2014. The Man-Made Fibers (MMF) in Indian textile has successfully established its presence in almost all the countries across the globe. MMF production recorded an increase of 4% during the period April 2013 - February 2014.

The India''s cotton consumption grew by 12% to 4.8 million tons and is expected to grow by 7% to 5.4 million tons in 2014-15. World ending stocks are forecast to increase by 12 % in 2013-14 to 20 million tons, and then to expand by another 5% in 2014-15 to 21 million tons. The projected accumulation of cotton stocks will weight on international cotton prices in 2014-15, particularly as more stocks will be held outside of China.

In the global exports of Textiles, India has improved its ranking to emerge as the second largest textile exporter. Currently, India textiles exports worth US$ 40.2 billion, while the total global textiles exports stand at US$ 772 billion, with India commanding 5.2% of the share. The rise in textile exports from India is largely attributed to the growth in apparel and clothing sector as this account for almost 43% of the share. The Indian textile and apparel industry has potential to reach at size US$ 221 billion by 2021.

Since most of the capacity expansions have taken place in normal/ commodity products, the severity of competition and decrease in profit margins is inevitable. Thus, in order to survive, sustain and thrive in the global market, it would be necessary to differentiate and improve presence in vale added products in the near future. Further, Technical textile is expected to grow at a faster pace as compared to other textiles products. It would be prudent to be an early bird and earmark some investments for this area for better and sustainable profitability.

(b) Internal control systems & adequacy

Your Company has an adequate internal control system. There is a system of continuous Internal Audit which aims at ensuring effectiveness and efficiency of systems and operations. The report is reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board consisting of Independent Directors. The scope of the Internal Audit is not limited to accounts only but includes operations, inventories, costing records, physical verifications of immovable and movable assets etc on regular basis. Further, the Company has also taken steps to develop a mechanism to assess and minimize risks by having a Risk Management Committee.

(c) Human resource management

Your Company gives utmost importance to human resource. It considers "Human Resource as Human Capital" and believes in the development of Human Resource. The Company strongly believes in the Performance Management System and always tries to explore and tap high potential at the Group level to meet new challenges and competition. Our main tool is training and developing talent at various levels. Internal and external trainings are regularly organized for the development of the members/employees.

(d) Safety, Health & Environment

The Company''s top priority is safety, with regard to employment. It encourages safety measures at all operational levels, especially at floor level. Regular training programs are conducted to create awareness about the importance of safety at work. Medical camps are organized periodically for welfare of the members. Additionally, regular medical facilities are also provided to them.

(e) Management perception of Risks & Concerns

The performance of textile industry during first three quarters of FY 2013-14 was quite encouraging. However, the last quarter witnessed sudden jerks in demand and price drop from export market, led by china. This was followed immediately by domestic market which adversely affected the market sentiment and profit margins. The upward serge in cotton prices and downward turn in yarn prices along with slack demand is going to hit the bottom line significantly.

To procure cotton more judiciously and carry reasonable inventory by reducing to 2 months instead of previous practices of 6 months shall help minimizing the risk. Further, initiatives towards differentiated/ value added products coupled with cost optimization will lead to better managing the profit margins.

(f) Opportunities and Threats

Opportunities:

1. Government thrust for textile export.

2. Scope for atomization.

3. Large overseas and domestic market. Threats:

1. Shortage of skilled labour.

2. Ever increasing cost of power & finance.

3. Volatile Government policies particularly for raw material.

Yarn is used by various textile mills/ knitting & weaving industry in the country. The domestic yarn markets would continue to be functioning normally as large weaving capacities have come up in the country.

1.3 STRENGTH & OPPORTUNITIES-ANALYSIS

A systematic analysis of the textile and apparel industry in India indicates the following:- STRENGTH

Raw material base-India has high self sufficiency for raw material particularly natural fibers. India's cotton crop is the third largest in the world. Indian textile Industry produces and handles all types of fibres.

Labour-Cheap labour and strong entrepreneurial skills have always been the backbone of the Indian Apparel and textile Industry.

Flexibility-The small size of manufacturing which is predominant in the apparel industry allows for greater flexibility to service smaller and specialized orders.

Rich Heritage-The cultural diversity and rich heritage of the country offers good inspiration base for designers. OPPORTUNITIES

Indian Textiles-Vision 2020- The current domestic Textile and apparel market of US$ 47 bn is expected to grow @ 11% annually to reach US$ 140 bn by 2020. The main drivers of domestic growth are increasing population, increasing income levels, rapid urbanization, improving demographics, increased organized players and increasing penetration of retailers into smaller cities.

Export potential- India has the potential to increase its export share in world trade from the current 4.5% to 8.00% by 2020. The high growth for Indian exports is possible due to increased sourcing shift from developed countries to Asia and India's strengths as a suitable alternative to China for global buyers.

Shifting of production base- Over the years, production has converged towards Asia from western countries

1.4 SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

The company operates only in one segment ÃCotton & Blended Yarn' and hence segment-wise reporting is not required.

1.5 FUTURE OUTLOOK

The global textile and apparel industry is reviving after the recent global recession with increasing consumer demand. With the positive outlook the global textile and apparel trade has the potential to grow up to USD 800 bn. by 2015 from about USD 510 bn. in 2009.

The Indian textile industry is expected to grow to USD 134 bn. by 2015 from present size of USD70 bn.

In the last 5 years, the total market size of the Indian textile industry has grown by about 10% annually. The industry is expected to grow further at a much higher pace primarily driven by strong domestic consumption which has remained robust despite the recent global economic down turn

Therefore, with the growing demand both in the domestic market and international market for the Indian products the company looks forward to expand its activities in near future.

1.6 GENERAL BUSINESS OUTLOOK

In the 1st half of FY 12, Domestic OTC demands were good and off take from wholesale were buoyant. However in the 2nd half of FY12 retail off take weakened due to poor market sentiments. In the export market, slow down in US and Europe, withdrawal of DEPB and reduced drawback rates impacted demand.

With exports becoming less attractive, we see competition to increase in domestic market as most of the exporters will substitute the exports with domestic sales.

The major domestic RMG players are not projecting high growth in FY13. The export market scenario is expected to continue to be weak due to recessionary trends.

In view of the above we expect the growth for our business to be moderate in FY13.
