PERFORMANCE

During the financial year under review, the turnover and other income of your company increased by 0.71% and in value term touched Rs.180 Crores (previous year Rs.179 Crores). However due to stable raw cotton prices during mid of the year under review as well as the impact of Indian Rupee depreciation against US Dollar, Companys EBIDTA margin had improved. During the year the Company had a positive EBIDTA of Rs. 835.16 Lacs against negative EBIDTA of Rs. 23.45 Lacs in the previous year.

Interest cost in the current year, at Rs. 364.10 Lacs, is 11.62% higher than the previous year of Rs. 326.90 Lacs.

However due to export sales of higher value added products, such as Organic Cotton Yarn and Knitted Fabric, mainly to high-end European market helped in receiving comparatively better realization.

The turnover in quantitative term was also at 13031 MT in comparison to 14148 MT in the previous year. The average sales realization was higher at Rs. 120.45 per Kg. (Rs. 109.07). During the year the utilization of Companys knitted fabric capacity was lower producing 13.53 Lacs Kg knitted fabrics in comparison to the production of 13.90 Lacs Kg fabrics in the previous year.

Your Company has been De-bonded w.e.f. 24th April,

2009 from the status of 100% EOU. Now it has greater flexibility to sale its products either in domestic or international market wherever price realisation is better. In addition to working freedom company has also started getting export incentives like DEPB / Duty draw back etc. due to De-bonding.

DIVIDEND

In view of the losses, the Board of Directors does not recommend any dividend for the year under review.

WORKING CAPITAL CONSTRAINTS

The company continued to face working capital constraints during the year. The Company tried various options for securing working capital sanction from Banks including financial institutions andNBFC Companies, but due to lack of sufficient profit margin on its operation and sudden change in the out look for Textile and yarn industry, raising working capital became difficult, which had a direct impact on the profitability of the Company.

OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT

The Members are aware that the two Overseas Private Investors (OPIs) i.e. Spinnaker Investment Group, United Kingdom and Eight Capital & Associates, United States who in total had invested an amount of Rs. 141,12,87,500/- in the company towards the subscription of Optionally Convertible Debentures and Convertible Warrants. Due to sharp increase in the raw cotton prices and continuous depreciation in Indian currency against US Dollar in the year under review and previous years, the Company has been unable to generate sufficient revenue to serve the cost of funds received from Overseas Private Investors. The Company had also not been able to redeem above referred OCDs in absence of a sanction of equivalent amount by any Bank to the Company against working capital requirements for which the Company is continuing its efforts.

The OPIs by their communication dated 26th October,

2010 have waived total interest as was due and payable to them from the date of invocation of the pledge i.e. February 14, 2008 till date and also waived the principal due to the extent of Rs. 28,18,00,000/- against total dues of OCD Series 1 to 4. Thereafter the OPIs has on 27th October, 2010 transferred to M/s Bombay Rayon Fashions Limited (BRFL) the 86,47,336 equity shares of the Company and 3,21,80,000 Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs) alongwith the underlying securities / properties including the invoked 1,18,14,114 equity shares of the Company held by IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited as debenture trustees. The BRFL would therefore hold share aggregating to 2,04,61,450 equity shares representing 70.56% of paid up equity share capital of the company. BRFL is a listed Company engaged in manufacturing and export of Readymade Garments.
