RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND STATE OF COMPANYâS AFFAIRS
The Company has recorded production of 37429 MT and Sale of 38811 MT during the year under review as against 38918 MT and Sale of 37515 MT respectively during the previous year. The Company posted EBIDTA of Rs. 60.07 and Net Profit of Rs.27.81 Crore as against Rs.71.05 Crore and Rs.34.10 Crore respectively in the previous year.
During the year under review overall business environment remained challenging due to raw material price volatility and dumping of imports. During the year China, Peru and Belarus dumped acrylic fibre into India, which is yet continuing, causing great injury to Indian Acrylic Fibre Industry. The Industry represented to Ministry of Commerce and Industry for imposing anti-dumping duty on imports from these countries but Ministry somehow turned down the same.
During Current Year also it is expected that imports from these countries will continue to soar, unless the Government takes pro-active measures, domestic industry would continue to suffer.
INTEGRATED CPP FILM PROJECT
During the year under review the project was commissioned, it started commercial production w.e.f. 01.09.2017. Gradually Sales and Production is picking up, the Companyâs product is well accepted in the Market.
CDR EXIT
As reported last year, recompense amount to be paid to respective banks upon approval from CDR EG/Core group, which is yet awaited. Based on discussions with Lead Bank, the Company provided Rs. 15 Crore towards recompense amount.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT
ACRYLIC FIBRE
a) Industry Structure and Development
The Demand of Acrylic Fibre during the year remained at same level as of previous year but due to dumping of acrylic fibre by Countries listed above the production of domestic industry suffered. Companyâs production for the year under review reduced to 37429 MT as compared to 38918 MT in the previous year.
b) Opportunities and Threat
The raw material to produce Acrylic Fibre is crude derived. The movement in crude affects the raw material prices, but due to demand - supply scenario during the year under review prices of raw material were on the rise, despite of the fact the crude moved in a narrow band. Since Company is dependent upon imports the fluctuation in foreign exchange i.e. USD vs. INR has a bearing on the margin of the Company.
c) Risk and Concern
Since Company is dependent upon imported raw materials as such sudden movement in USD and volatility in crude oil affects the margin. The Company is giving thrust on increasing the exports so that effect can be mitigated.
CPP FILM
a) Industry Structure and Development
There is intense competition among CPP Film manufacturers in the country. The Company has installed German / English machinery which will ensure quality product. The Industry is growing at 7- 8% Per Annum.
b) Opportunities and Threat
The raw material to produce CPP film is available locally/ imported. Since the raw material is crude derived as such fluctuation in crude may affect the raw material price.
c) Risk and Concern
Since raw material is crude derived as such movement either side shall affect the raw material price. To mitigate the effect the Company intends to do long term contracts with suppliers.
SEGMENTWISE / PRODUCTWISE PERFORMANCE
The Company operates in Acrylic Fibre and CPP Film manufacturing, the segment / product wise information is given.

The Demand of Acrylic Fibre during the year was better than the
previous year and your company has sold 32838 MT during the year as
compared to 28977 MT during the previous year. During the current year
it is expected that momentum will continue.
b) Opportunities and Threat
Principal raw material of your company is A C N which is a by-product
of crude oil. The crude oil prices continue to be volatile in the
international market resulting direct impact on the A CN prices. The A
C N is largely imported as such the upward fluctuation in foreign
exchange i.e. USD vs. INR adversely affects the margin of the Company.
Import of Acrylic Fibre at a low price from various countries more
particularly from Thailand is causing serious injury to domestic
Industry.

The Company has only one segment i.e. Acrylic Fibre.
d) Risk and Concern
Since Company uses imported raw materials as such upward movement in
USD and Crude oil adversely affect the margin. To derisk the company is
increasing its exports. During the Financial Year 2013-14 exports have
gone up to Rs.67.55 Cr. from Rs.33.56 Cr. in the Financial Year

OPERATIONS
The Company has recorded a production of 24718 MT and Sale of 26726 MT
during the year under review as against 27863 MT and 25081 MT
respectively during the previous year. The gross turnover during the
year was Rs.431.08 Crores as against Rs.423.23 Crores in the previous
year.
During the year under review, profitability is adversely affected due
to exorbitant price increase i.e., to the tune of 30 to 50 percent by
Coal India Limited. On account of such abnormal price increase, Company
had to burden additional expense on power & fuel. Secondly, during the
year under review due to economic upheaval in European Union / Euro
zone and depleting US economy, the USD to INR rose sharply, As the
company is dependent upon imports, due to this sudden sharp &
unexpected increase it had to suffer significant amount of foreign
exchange loss despite of its proactive approach.
The Company has written back CENVAT credit of Rs.13.45 Crores written
off in earlier year in these accounts, as the custom/excise duty
imbalance stands corrected and company is increasing its exports as
such there is virtual certainty of its recovery.
The new power plant is commissioned during the later part of the year;
it is designed to run on multi fuel i.e. coal, pet coke and rice husk.
As explained above company had to suffer heavy losses due to sharp
increase of coal prices as there was no option except to use coal, but
now with the commissioning of new power plant the company would be in a
position to alter the fuel from coal to pet coke/ rice husk to its
advantage.
Production from new line has also started during the current year, due
to increase in production the company would be in a position to derive
economy of scale benefit. With the commissioning of power plant and new
line it is expected that cost of production shall go down, which would
give competitive advantage, as such barring unforeseen circumstances
the company expects to post better profitability during the current
year.

The Company recorded an EBIDTA of Rs. 34.16 Crores for the period as
against 0.86 Crore in the previous period. The Company could post good
profits on the back of strong recovery in demand coupled with good
prices.
As reported in earlier years due to inverted duty structure the Company
is facing CENVAT credit accumulation, the situation is yet continuing.
Though the Industry has time and again urged Government to provide
relief by way of correcting the inverted duty structure but nothing has
been done so far. The Company in these accounts charged Rs.13.45 Crores
to Profit & Loss A/c on account of CENVAT accumulation as in the
opinion of Board of Directors the Company would not be able to adjust
the same against sales.
During the period under review the Company settled dues of a financial
institution on one time settlement (OTS) basis. Interest waiver arising
out of OTS amounting to Rs.6.37 Lacs has been credited to Profit & Loss
Account and waiver in principal amounting to Rs.3.54 Lacs has been
credited to Capital Reserve Account.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
a) Industry Structure and Development
The Demand of Acrylic Fibre picked up during the period globally and
domestically, mainly due to global recovery. During the current year
the demand of Acrylic Fibre likely to remain good.
b) Opportunities and Threat
Leading international sportswear brands seeking to source their product
from India as such the demand of the product is likely to remain
strong. There exists scope for development of value added variants.
The Acrylic Fibre is surplus in many countries as such there are fears
of dumping the same into India, though Govt of India has imposed anti
dumping duty on imports from certain countries but still a lot need to
be done to check the abnormal imports.
The Company is dependent on imported raw materials to a large extent
and any increase in crude oil price and foreign exchange fluctuation
adversely affects the prospects of the Company.
Acrylic Fibre competes with the Cotton and Polyester Fibre. The gap in
the prices of Acrylic Fibre vis-a-vis cotton & polyester encourages
substitution of acrylic Fibre with these Fbres.
c) Segment-wise/Product-wise performance.
The Company has only one segment i.e. Acrylic Fibre.
d) Risk and Concern
The Company/Industry imports most of its requirement of raw-material
i.e. A C N, M A, DMF etc. All these are derived from crude, as such any
move upward or down ward affects the pricing of these products. But
some times the prices do not move in tandem with crude as happening in
recent time. For last couple of months the Crude is hovering around 75
USD Per Barrel while the A C N prices are ruling abnormally high. In
such a circumstance the demand of the product affects adversely due to
high selling prices, consequently the manufacturers faces inventory
accumulation and consequently incurs losses. The global economic growth
and trends in the coming year will also influence the Acrylic Fibre
industry performance.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The raw material prices are volatile so as the sale price. It remains
to be seen as to where the raw material prices settle down. Your
Company is making every effort to contain the cost and also pass on
increase in cost due to increase in raw material prices to market. It
will make efforts to adopt prudent and proactive measures to mitigate
the situation.
EXPANSION OF CAPACITY

capacity from 30000 MTPA to 42000 MTPA. The Company also plan to put up
