A. BUSINESS & ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Global and India Economy: In 2017, the cyclical upswing underway since mid-2016 continued to strengthen and the global economy witnessed a pickup in growth. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the year reported the broadest synchronized global growth surge since 2010. The advanced economies witnessed expansion owing to increased investments and manufacturing output. Similarly, key emerging markets and developing economies, including Brazil, China and India, posted strong upward momentum

Given stronger than expected economic activity in 2017, the IMF has revised its growth forecast for the United States from 2.3% to 2.7% in 2018 and from 1.9% to 2.5% in 2019.Stronger domestic demand in the United States is projected to increase imports. In Europe too, economic activity in 2018 and 2019 is projected to remain stronger than anticipated. Moreover, the advanced economies in Asia are expected to deliver stronger growth, while the emerging and developing ones are expected to grow at around 6.5% over 2018-19, broadly the same pace as in 2017.

India''s economy picked up some pace in FY 2017-18 and the gross domestic product growth was better than FY 2016-17. The structural reform of The Goods and Services Tax (GST) within a year of demonetisation is expected to provide a boost to the economic growth and investments in the long run with an improving business ecosystem, stable macroeconomic indicators and a liberal FDI regime, economy. According to World Bank''s Global Economic Prospects report, India''s GDP is expected to rise to 7.4% in FY 2018-19 and 7.8% in FY 2019-20.

In all, we export to over 40 countries and to 105 customers. Our customer concentration is well distributed and no single customer exceeds more than 10% of our revenue.

B. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:

The Indian textiles industry is among the oldest in the country. It is projected to reach USD 230 billion by 2020 from around USD 120 billion. Currently, the domestic textiles industry contributes 10% to the manufacturing output of the country, generates about 4% to its GDP and employs more than 45 million people. Importantly, the sector contributes 15% to the export earnings of Indiaremains a challenge.

Exports have been a core feature of India''s textile sector. The Indian textiles export market, estimated at $18 billion, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% compared to the global CAGR of 3% over 2016-26.The fundamental strength of the textile industry is its prices of the raw materials like wool and increase in oilprices which increase the input costs.

One of the positive factors in recent time is the increasing gap between cotton and polyester prices. Though, there was a glut in cotton and prices had fallen due to oversupply and less offtake from China, the synthetic fiber prices also fell following the slump in crude oil and its derivatives. We believe, the demand for synthetic fiber will continue to outpace that of cotton due to the inherent price advantage and quality improvements.

One of our big market is the NAFTA and CAFTA market comprising of North American customers. Due to the growing preference for locally sourced products, the demand for synthetic yarn in this geography is increasing by 5-6% p.a. We are beneficiaries of this due to our direct presence in South Carolina, US through our manufacturing facility. Moreover, there are substantial cost advantage of manufacturing in the US making us reasonably cost competitive vis a vis suppliers from China, ASEAN and India.

We also have a strong opportunity for growth in the nylon yarn segment with nylon 66 production to ramp up this year.

C. OUTLOOK:

The prospects for outsourcing of polyester/nylon yarns remain healthy. This is because of increased capacity in India. While we remain optimistic about future growth.

Raw Material Cost: The Raw Material prices increased in the year 2017-18 due to continuous increase in Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) and Chips Prices. The Major reason for increase in prices of Raw Material is increase in price of Crude oil.

Expenditure: The Major reason for decrease in expenditure is reduction in Excise Expenses after implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Interest Cost: The interest cost increased mainly due to increase in USD LIBOR.

Fixed Assets: The increase in fixed assets of Rs. 1377.67 Lakhs is due to regular addition in Plant and Machinery.

Net Current Assets and Cash & Cash Equivalents: the Decrease in Net Current Assets is majorly due to decrease in fixed deposits which are utilised for the purpose of incurring capital expenditure for Plant & Machineries.

E. RISK AND CONCERNS

Raw material sourcing: We source 51% of our RM requirements (nylon and polyester chips/fiber) from India and 49 % from imports. For our RM sources we have multiple suppliers. Last year, the price of our major RM POY ranged between Rs 62 to 115 per kg and that of Nylon yarn ranged between Rs 210 to 310 per kg.

Interest Rates: The Company''s average gross interest cost in the last year increased by 23.11%. The company''s present Debt Equity Ratio is 0.35. The long term Debt equity Ratio is 0.13. Interest costs are 2.04% of total revenue.

Exchange Rate: 52% per cent of company revenue is in foreign currency (Dollar, Euro & GBP) and balance is in INR. Also, we import 23.54% per cent of turnover (88.27% of which consists of raw material purchases) creating a natural hedge to that extent. Apart from this, from time to time forward cover is taken to hedge exposure in foreign currency. For FY18, our average forward cover was for 3 months of our revenue.

Inflation: The Company does not cater to retail customers. Its sales are to the business segment and hence it has been able to pass on inflationary pressures. It does not expect any major impact dueto current high level of inflation.

F. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY:

The Company has in place reasonable internal control system both from the business process and regulatory compliance point of view. The system is reviewed and updated on regular basis. The company is continuously upgrading its internal control systems by measures such as strengthening of Information Technology infrastructure and use of external management consultant services.

G. HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS:

The Company has always valued and nurtured its human resources, nonetheless, globalization, high growth of the Indian economy in recent times and its ambitious growth targets have made talent attraction and retention amongst the biggest challenges the company faces today.

The company has in place a good appraisal system to motivate all the employees. The company believes in continuous development for all its employees and for that company is planning to frame a program wherein all the employees will be provided training into related areas of skill development.

H. CAPITAL EXPANSION AND INVESTMENT:

Last year, we incurred a CAPEX of Rs. 1377.67 towards purchase of Plant & Machinery. For F.Y. 2018-19 we envisage higher amount of CAPEX to the tune of about Rs. 3000.00 Lakhs.
