REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
During the 9 months period under review, the company has achieved a
turnover of Rs. 3619.13 lakhs against Rs.11876.80 in the previous
15 months period and it is not comparable due to different period.
The company has incurred a loss of Rs. 1166.78 Lakhs against a loss
of Rs. 2401.36 Lakhs in the previous period.
Due to lack of working capital the company carried out the operations
on job work basis during the entire period under review.
The Management is taking effective steps to cut the
cost and improve production.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
A textile is the oldest industry in the country and it is the most
labor intensive industry. This sector gives direct employment to
35 million people and indirect employment to 45 million people
covering mostly women and rural poor. This industry contributes for
the growth of the country in terms of job creation in rural areas,
export earnings, besides meeting the basic needs of the people.
The capacity of the Industry is much more than the domestic
requirements. The fall in exports due to recession in developed
countries has resulted in poor price realization from the
domestic market. The unprecedented huge price fluctuations of raw
materials and demand recession for all Textile products have seriously
affected and drove the industry to register huge losses during the
year Nearly 75% to 80% of the textile mills across the country have
started incurring losses.
In order to bail out the ailing industry the Spinning Mills
Associations have approached the Textile Ministry pleading for reliefs.
Recently the Government has agreed to provide some relief which
includes: Debt Restructuring for Rs.35, 000 Crores. RBI to relax
conditions to avoid Textile units being classified as NPAS by opt for
debt restructuring. Moratorium on payment of principal and interest on
term loans for a period of two years. Sanction of working capital term
loan representing the uncovered portion in the cash credit loan account
and Interest relief.
With the reliefs that are going to be available from the Banks, now the
industry is hoping to turn around.
OUTLOOK ON OPPORTUNITIES, RISK AND CONCERN:
The fundamental growth drivers of Indian economy remain strong despite
the economic turmoil in the world. There would be growing opportunities
in the international market as well as domestic market. The consumption
is growing in response to growing per capita income, population and
strong retail push. With regards to textile industry, there are
significant opportunities in the domestic market as more consumers
are buying readymade garments and also consumption of the cloth per
capita continues to increase due to growth in the economy which is
adding to the purchasing power of the Consumers.
Macroeconomic factors increase in interest rates are the major risk
factors presently for the textile industry. Increase in interest rates
will affect the profitability. Since the industry is capital intensive.

ensure that all assets are safeguarded, and protected against loss from

management and documented policies, guidelines and procedures.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS :
During the year under review, the company has achieved a turnover of
Rs. 11873.65 lakhs against Rs.18974.13 in the previous year. Thus
registering a negative growth of 37.42%. The company has incurred a
loss of Rs. 3873.80 Lakhs against a loss of Rs. 4294.56 Lakhs in the
previous year.
The poor operative results are due to down trend in the Textile
Industry from the beginning of the operative financial year which is
mainly on the account of volatility in the cotton market, severe power
cut, low production and un-remunerative sale prices. The operations of
the company could not meet the interest cost.
The Management is taking effective steps to cut the cost and improve
production. The bankers have also been approached for restructuring the
limit coupled with reduction in the rate of interest.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
During the year under review, company has achieved a turnover of Rs.
26109.33 lakhs as against Rs.19263.78 lakhs in the previous year,
registering a growth of 35.53%.earned a profit of Rs.83 lakh as against
the profit of Rs. 1.00 lakhs in the previous year. Though there was
increase in turnover it was not reflected in the profitability on
account of the increase in the cost of raw materials Cotton and
Polyster from the Second half of the year not compensating increase in
sale price has pulled down the margin. But for the external factors the
operating results could have been better.
The textile industry entered demand contraction in the Month of April
2011 and normalcy is yet to be restored. The impact of this has
affected the cotton yarn division at Ongole more. The Ongole Unit was
incurring losses from the second half of the year. The company
proposes to sell off the Ongole Unit and pre pay loans thus reducing
the interest cost and repayment commitment to improve the cash flows
and invest in the working capital to improve the operational efficiency
and cost reduction.
The company proposed a Corporate Debt Restructuring to the bankers
seeking certain concessions with promoters contribution and sale of the
Ongole Unit and Gas Turbine. The same is under discussion stage, all
these efforts shall yield to have better performance in the next
financial year.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY:
Textiles and clothing constitutes the largest manufacturing industry in
the country accounting for 4 per cent of GDP, 14 per cent of industrial
production and around 12 per cent of the country's total exports. The
industry directly provides employment to 35 million workers and
provides indirect employment to another 47 million workers. 2010-11
was a good year for the sector in terms of turnover, sales, profit and
growth in investments.
The spinning sector has invested over Rs. 40,000 crore in modernization
and capacity expansion and its current installed capacity has risen
from 38 million spindles in 2001 to 45 million spindles in 2011,i.e.,
within a 10 year period. The government has been encouraging yarn
exports and the domestic consumers never had short supply of yarn.
Almost all the global leading players in textiles and clothing
manufacturing in countries like European Union, USA, far-east countries
including Japan, Bangladesh, have been depending on Indian cotton yarn
over decades.
When the cotton prices became highly volatile and speculative during
the last year, the yarn price increased steeply though it never matched
the abnormal increase in cotton price.Because of persistent demand of
value added segments, the government fixed a cap of 720 million kg for
exports during the year 2010-11 as against industry demand for 1100
million kg, brought controls on yarn exports and suspended exports for
almost three months (Jan-Mar. 2011). In the process, the Indian
spinners lost their credibility in the international market as a
reliable supplier and lost very valuable customers with whom they had
over two decades of business relationship. In addition, the government
also withdrew all export benefits including the DEPB/DBK.
The demand for cotton yarn domestically declined substantially and the
closure of nearly 1000 dyeing units in Tamil Nadu due to pollution
issue (by the High Court) added fuel to the situation. All this
resulted in accumulation of stock with Spinning Mills. As on 31st March
2011, the closing stock exceeded 300 million kgs and by May it exceeded
500 million kgs due to sudden glut in the international and domestic
markets.
THE IMPACT OF COTTON POLICY
During the year 2010-11, the world witnessed a global shortage of
cotton as it was assessed by International Cotton Advisory Committee
(ICAC) that the crop of raw cotton will be lower by 10%. The
international prices of cotton increased from US $ 0.84 per pound in
October, 2010 to a record level of US $ 2.30 per pound in April, 2011,
within a period of 6 months, which was unprecedented and a record price
in cotton history. The cotton price in India moved in tandem with the
world market and also increased from Rs.35,000/- per candy to Rs.
62,500/- per candy during the same period. The premature announcement
of cotton exports and lower stock use ratio made cotton prices highly
volatile.
OUTLOOK ON OPPORTUNITIES RISK AND CONCERN
The Fundamental growth drivers of Indian Economy remain strong despite
the economic turmoil in the world. There would be growing opportunities
in the international market as well as domestic market. The
consumption is growing in response to growing per capita income,
population and strong retail push. With regards to textile industry,
there are significant opportunities in the domestic market as more
consumers are buying readymade garments and also consumption of the
cloth per capita continues to increase due to growth in the economy
which is adding to the purchasing power of the Consumers.
Macro economic factors including rupee appreciation increase in
interest rates are the major risk factors presently for the textile
industry. If there is an appreciation of rupee, then the
competitiveness of industry vs. other countries will decrease. Since
the products would be diverted to the domestic market, the price
realization will decrease even though there is growth in the domestic
consumption. Increase in interest rates will affect the profitability.
Since the industry is capital intensive.
ADEQUACY OF INTERNAL CONTROLS:
The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls to
ensure that all assets are safeguarded, and protected against loss from
unauthorized use of disposition, and that transactions are authorized,
recorded, and reported correctly. The internal control system is
supplemented by an extensive programme of internal audits, review by
management and documented policies, guidelines and procedures.

performance by achieving export turnover of Rs. 2669 lakhs during the
year 2010- 2011 as Compared to Rs.2192.51 Lakhs in the previous year

growth in the exports in the fiscal year 2011-2012.

20,50,800 units as against 24, 45,482 units in the previous year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
During the year under review, company has achieved a turnover of Rs.
19264 lakhs as against Rs.18343 lakhs in the previous year, registering
a growth of 5%. With the increased turnover, the company has reached to
break even level and earned a marginal profit of Rs.1 lakh as against
the loss of Rs.298 lakhs in the previous year. This is after
considering the deferred tax asset. Significant increase in sales
performance during the second half of the year by Rs.2604 lakhs
compared to previous year has facilitated the company to earn a profit
against the loss during the previous year. This is due to the various
steps taken at the plant level to improve the operating efficiencies by
minimizing the absenteeism in work force after conclusion of wage
agreement and ensuring availability of adequate inputs for
uninterrupted production. But for the imposition of power cut and
un-scheduled interruption in power supply, the operations would have
been improved further.
However, the performance of the company is expected to increase
substantially during the next financial year due to improved operations
as well as increase in realization in sale price. In addition, company
has taken steps to dispose off loss making unit, Garment Division and
bring the Gas Based Power unit into operation which will generate
additional income. Combination of all these efforts shall yield to have
better performance in the next financial year.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY:
Overall performance of the industry during the year under review was
still suffering from the economic impact of the financial collapse of
the world markets in 2008. Sales realisation began to improve during
the last quarter of the financial year due to rebound in the world
economy. In addition with the improvement in the USA economy, dollar
began to appreciate against other currencies in the world including the
rupee. This has improved exports which in turn improved realisations in
the domestic market. In addition domestic market also started
recovering from the recession resulting in Improvement in the market.
This is expected to continue in the next financial year as economies
throughout the world are recovering from the recession.
Infrastructure bottlenecks are affecting the competitiveness of the
industry vs. the competitors. Industry has been affected by the
substantial power cuts imposed during the summer months every year and
increases in power costs throughout the country due to inefficiencies
in the grid system. In addition labour costs continue to increase due
to
shortage of skilled manpower and increases in the DA by the government
due to inflation. Interest rates have also begun to increase during the
last financial year due to tightening of monetary policy by the RBI to
contain the inflation. Even though sales realization have began to
improve the increase in operating costs and infrastructure problems is
affecting the profitability of the industry.
OUTLOOKONOPPORTUNTTIES, RISK AND CONCERN:
The fundamental growth drivers of Indian economy remain strong despite
the economic turmoil in the world. There would be growing opportunities
in the international market as well as domestic market. The
consumption is growing in response to growing per capita income,
population and strong retail push. With regards to textile industry,
there are significant opportunities in the domestic market as more
consumers are buying readymade garments and also consumption of the
cloth per capita continues to increase due to growth in the economy
which is adding to the purchasing power of the Consumers.
Macro economic factors including rupee appreciation increase in
interest rates, in usages, increase in power tariff and powercuts are
the major risk factors presently for the textile industry. If there is
an appreciation of rupee, then the competitiveness of industry vs.other
countries will decrease. Since the products would be diverted to the
domestic market, the price realization will decrease even though there
is growth in the domestic consumption. Increase in interest rates will
affect the profitability. Since the industry is capital intensive.
