Dividend:

In order to balance the growth and developmental activities of the company as well as to fulfill the aspirations of the public stakeholders, the promoters decided to continue their support and again in writing waived their entitlement on the profit distribution in the form of dividend if any declared by the company for the year 2017-18. Accordingly the Board after considering all these aspects has recommended a dividend for the year under review at the rate of Rs.0.20 per Equity Share only on the portion of the paid up equity capital held by the public as on the record date as may be announced by the board in this regard. However no amount has been transferred to General reserve from the profits for the year 2017-18.

Operations:

The company in spite of difficult economic conditions has registered substantial improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to previous year. The company has achieved an increase of around 20% in the sales figures and a substantial increase of around 32% in the net profits before tax in comparison to previous year. During the year the Retail division has made satisfactory progress in terms of growth in the sales and also brought down the operational losses in comparison to the previous year. However the outlook of the Retail business is promising as the economic and market conditions is poised to stage significant growth in the current year. Overall the business sentiment was partially affected due to various factors particularly the implementation of GST from July 2017 since it is a new legislation and needs time to settle down with the procedures. Global economic conditions are also still remaining weak due to the factors like protectionist measures followed in different part of the world. The company had anticipated all these factors and taken all the necessary steps in advance to maintain the competitive position in the market. But in spite of these, the company had to absorb some amount of the losses generated by the Retail business activities. Further since the company is mainly catering to the domestic market and it has a strong presence in the domestic market, there is no negative slide in the sales growth. However for the improvement of retail division the company is taking all possible measures particularly giving major thrust in the development of product ranges in the licentiate segments like YouWeCan and FC Barcelona as well as in the development of the marketing network in other formats.

The company has formulated various measures to strengthen the operations of the Retail division to make it a more competitive business. The company is focusing more on the Large Format Stores (LFS) and on line sales network. Further the efforts are underway to add more licentiate brand under the licentiate product segment. This will eventually help the Retail Division to improve their margins substantially. Finally during the year the company has discharged all its obligations under EPCG License issued to the company in the past and accordingly successfully redeemed all the pending EPCG Licenses.

Issue of Fully Convertible Debentures:

During the year the company in order to promote the brand of the company and its subsidiaries through advertisement in print and non-print media in a major way, had entered into an agreement with M/s. H.T. Media Ltd a big media group known as Hindustan Times group. The company has also executed Subscription agreement and Media agreement with M/s. H.T. Media Ltd. Accordingly the company has issued three numbers of Fully Convertible Debentures of Rs.1.50 crores each aggregating to Rs.4.50 crores to the M/s.

H.T. Media Limited. Necessary approval was obtained from the shareholders in their Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on 6^th March 2018. The company completed the allotment on 20^th.March 2018 and the BSE Ltd has issued âIn Principle approvalâ for the same.

Amendment to the Articles of Association:

In order to issue Fully Convertible Debentures to M/s. H.T. Media Limited or any other securities in the future, the company has made necessary modification in the Articles of Association of the company. The modification was not a major one as the present clause 14(2) specifically mentions only âsharesâ instead of âSecuritiesâ which has a wider meaning and not restricted to shares only. Hence the same is suitably modified to include all other types of securities.

Export Sales:

During the year under review there was no exports sales reported by the company as the textile export market remained sluggish and the realizations were not attractive because of continued economic slowdown in almost all parts of the world. Apart from this, the unhealthy competition among the leading textile goods manufacturing countries continued to haunt the prospects for a healthy textile market and created a negative impact on the price segment of the textile items. Because of these factors, the company continued to remain focused maximum in the domestic market. However the company continued its efforts to draw the attention of
fabric buyers from Bangladesh and other neighboring countries. The company is anticipating a breakthrough in its efforts to explore the possibility of developing new markets in African and Far East countries. However ultimately the positive changes in the global economic conditions particularly in the US and European economies can only pave the way for the growth of the global textile market. The company is making best efforts to establish its identity with various reputed buyers to align with their brands in the overseas market to promote the exports in large volume.

In spite of the unfavorable trend in the global textile market, the company continues to take active participation in various international Fairs/exhibitions. Once the stability is brought in the global market, India can look forward to have a better market share than its competitors. Hence the company always looks forward to have better exports sales in terms of better unit value realization and volume. Besides this, the company has the capacity to make wide and better range of products particularly in printed and embroidery varieties and this will certainly help the company in the long run to increase the exports business both in volume and value.

Licentiate Rights:

The company has at present licentiate rights with FC Barcelona and Manchester City. The company has developed and produced wide range of garments under licentiate rights and the response from the market is very encouraging. These brand LOGOS are embossed on the garments under licentiate rights acquired for India. The company is now a recognized name in this particular segment of garments. Based on the past experience and also taking into account the strengths and weakness of these business models, the company proposes as a well thought strategy to add more such licentiate arrangements. This will ensure that there are always some effective brands under its umbrella throughout the period to ensure that even if some brands crosses its shell life, there are other brands to take the sales business forward without affecting the growth momentum of the company. Further the association with âYouWeCanâ backed by celebrity cricketer Mr. Yuvraj Singh is also growing very well and various products developed during the last few months will certainly give a big boost to the company in the sales. The company is anticipating a good outcome from this venture in the next few years. The company is also developing other models on similar lines to promote the sales with better value addition.

Joint Venture:

The company has entered into a joint venture with another company M/s. Project Anushka Sharma Lifestyles Pvt. Ltd. a company promoted by celebrity actor Mrs. Anushka Sharma and her family. The object of the joint venture is to design, develop and manufacture of various ladies fashion and western type outfits which will be sold through various large retail format stores and on line stores. The company is incorporated on 19^th.September 2017 as a private limited company in the name of M/s. SAA & Suditi Retail Pvt. Ltd and the ownership of the company is on 50:50 partnerships where both the promoters contributed equally to the capital. The company commenced its sales business activities after the launch of its products on October 2017. The company has nominated two members on the board of the Joint venture Company and equal number of members is nominated by other company also. The company has achieved net sales of around Rs.3 crores with net loss from the business of Rs.34 lakhs. The financial results are

only for the part of the year operations and since the company is backed by celebrity actor, the company is not anticipating any difficulty in achieving the projected growth for the year 2018-19. Expansion:

As indicated in the earlier years the management the company has not undertaken any new major capital projects during the year under review. Further, there is no major expansion plan in the current year except some addition of balancing equipmentâs and replacement of old machineries and equipmentâs. Similarly for the Retail division also the company plans for some expansion and the same will be managed without any additional investment of capital nature.

Human Resources & Industrial Relations:

Human resources development plays a crucial role in the development of any organization. It consists of attraction, retention and development of talent in a systematic manner to fulfill the requirements of the organization. The company follows various programs to provide focused people attention. The emphasis is mainly on the promotion of talent internally through job rotation and job enlargement. The Industrial relations with the employees at the Companyâs plant at MIDC, TTC Industrial Area, Pawne Village; Navi Mumbai and in the other locations continue to remain healthy and cordial.

Share capital:

The shareholders had approved the special resolution to raise the Authorized capital from Rs.18 crores to Rs.25 crores. Accordingly the company has completed the compliance process and the authorized capital of the company stands today at Rs.25 crores. Further during the current year, the company has issued 218790 shares to employees under SUDITI ESOP PLAN 2011 in the month of April 2018 and accordingly the subscribed, issued and paid-up capital has increased from Rs.16.67 Crores to Rs.16.98 Crores. Apart from this, during the year under review, the company has also issued Fully Convertible Debentures which will be converted into equity shares at a later date.

Dividend:

In order to balance the growth and developmental activities of the company as well as to fulfill the aspirations of the public stakeholders, the promoters have in writing waived their entitlement on the profit distribution in the form of dividend if any declared by the company for the year 2015-16. Accordingly the Board after considering all these aspects has recommended a dividend for the year under review at the rate of Rs.0.70 per Equity Share only on the portion of the paid up equity capital held by the public as on 31^st March 2016. No amount has been transferred to General reserve from the profits for the year 2015-16.

Operations:

The company has registered substantial improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to previous year. The company has achieved an increase of over 15% in the sales figures and a substantial increase of around 118% in the net profits before tax in comparison to previous year. During the year the Retail division has given a significant contribution towards the growth in the sales and overall profit of the company in comparison to the previous year. However the performance of the Retail division separately as a division needs to be improved further to bring the same on anticipated levels. Consequently the company had to absorb some amount of the losses generated by the Retail business activities. Because of this the overall profit recorded by the company is lower than the projections for the year under review. The improved economic conditions in the country augur well for the textile sector and in general there is optimism prevailing all over the country, even though the situations continued to remain grim in the other part of the world. Hence the export of textile goods still needs to gain momentum which again depends largely on global factors. Since the company has a strong presence in the domestic market there is no negative slide in the sales growth. However for the retail division the company needs to give further thrust in the development of product ranges in the licentiate items as well as the marketing network.

The company continued to take necessary measures to strengthen the operations of the Retail division to make it a profitable business. Many unviable outlets selectively chosen in various formats were either discontinued or converted into own stores to bring better management in the operation. The company is now giving major thrust to expand the business through on line sales network like Flip kart, Jabbong, Myntra etc. Further the company is also using other social network to expand the reach of the products to the actual users as well as to increase the sales network through other media like Television channels and other social media. Finally regarding the pending EPCG License issue, the company is actively pursuing the case with DGFT office to resolve the matter at the earliest.

Export Sales:

The textile export market remained sluggish throughout the year because of economic slowdown in almost all parts of the world. Apart from this, the preferential trade regime followed by some leading importers of textile goods, has a negative impact on the growth of export trade in the world. Hence the export performance for the year is not as per the estimates made by the company. Because of these factors, the company continued to remain focused maximum in the local market. The negligible exports were mainly sent in the form of finished fabrics to neighboring countries like Bangladesh. The company is now making all-round efforts to increase the volume of fabric shipments to Bangladesh which again depends upon the global economic conditions as Bangladesh mainly caters to the export market. The company still pursue with some export promotion agencies to explore the possibility of developing new markets in African and Far East countries. However much depends upon the positive changes in the global economic conditions particularly in the US and European economies. The company still pursues its objective to achieve the target of exporting 50% of its capacity to the overseas customers with better value addition. Similarly efforts are made with various reputed buyers to align with their brands in the overseas market to promote the exports in large volume.

The company also takes initiatives to develop export potential by taking active participation in various international Fairs/exhibitions as well as selling garments by using the brand and logos of some important sports clubs/events. The company has started selling garments in the local market under licentiate arrangements by executing agreements with some reputed football clubs in Europe. In the future the company may be able to enhance the scope of the sales through these arrangements in the other part of the world. Once the present turmoil in the global market is settled, India can look forward to have a better market share than other competitors in the global markets. Hence the prospects for the company are good in terms of better unit value realization and volume. Besides this, the company has developed capability to make better product range particularly in printed and embroidery varieties. In view of these, company continues to follow its plans to increase the exports business in sizable volume in the future. New Licentiate Rights:

The company has developed and produced wide range of garments under licentiate rights executed with globally well known football clubs like FC Barcelona, Manchester City, and Real Madrid. These brand LOGOS are embossed on the garments under licentiate rights acquired for India. The overall response is very good and encouraging. The company has now acquired adequate experience and expertise in this particular style of production. Hence the company has now associated with âYouWeCanâ backed by celebrity cricketer Mr. Yuvraj Singh to create a clothing line under YWC label. For the company this is the first such venture and anticipates a good outcome from this venture. The company is now also exploring other avenues in the similar lines to promote the sales with better value addition.

Expansion:

The management continues to maintain the plan adopted earlier in respect of expansion plan and accordingly the company has not undertaken any new projects during the year under review. Further in the prevailing economic conditions, there will not be any major expansion plan in the current year some except addition of balancing equipments and replacement of old machineries and equipments. The remaining portion of the funds available for retail expansion plan as proposed in the Rights issue offer documents is utilized completely and hereafter any utilization of the funds for the Retail expansion will have to be financed by the company from its own sources.

Human Resources & Industrial Relations:

Human resources are one of the most important assets for the company. Efforts are made systematically in attraction, retention and development of talent as an ongoing process. A number of programs are made that provide focused people attention. The thrust is on the promotion of talent internally through job rotation and job enlargement. The Industrial relations with the employees at the Companyâs plant at MIDC, TTC Industrial Area, Pawne Village; Navi Mumbai and in the other locations continue to remain healthy and cordial.

Share capital:

During the year under review, the company has not issued any class of shares like shares with preferential rights or sweat equity shares and accordingly there is no change in the Subscribed and Issued capital. However after the closing of the financial year 2015-16, the company in the month of May 2016, has issued 88930 shares to employees under SUDITI ESOP PLAN 2011.

Dividend:

In order to promote the growth of the company as well as to fulfill the aspirations of the stakeholders, the promoters have in writing waived their entitlement on the profit distribution in the form of dividend if any declared by the company for the year 2014-15. Accordingly the Board after considering all these aspects has recommended a dividend for the year under review at the rate of Rs.0.50 per Equity Share only on the portion of the paid up equity capital held by the public as on 31st March 2015. No amount has been transferred to General Reserve from the profits for the year 2014-15.

Operations:

There is substantial improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to previous year. The company has achieved an increase of around 13% in the sales figures and around 26% in the net profits before tax in comparison to previous year. However the growth in the sales of the Retail division barring sales under FIFA licentiate rights is lower than anticipated for the year and consequently the company had to absorb the losses generated by the Retail business activities. Because of this the overall profit recorded by the company is lower than the projections for the year under review. The Macro economic conditions in the country have shown signs of recovery and optimistic throughout the year. However the situations continued to remain grim all over the world barring few countries. This does not augur well for the textile and garment sector which depends maximum on export

sales for their revenue. But timely initiatives taken by government, value addition by many units as well as reasonably stable price ranges prevailed over a long period during the year has given a major boost in the demand for goods in the domestic market. This has helped the company to achieve growth in the sales except in the retail division where the company needs to give further thrust in the development of product ranges as well as the market network.

The company continued the revamping task undertaken in the previous year in order to strengthen the operations of the Retail division to make it a profitable business. Many unviable outlets were discontinued including the outlets opened under Large Format Stores (LFS) models like Reliance/Maya etc. In its place the company has started new counters through other LFS like Wall Mart, Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle and Arvind Megamart. Another major step taken by the company during the year is the expansion of business through on line sales network like Flip kart, Jabbong, Myntra etc. Further the company is also using other social network to expand the reach of the products to the actual users. The company has also plans to expand the sales network through other media like Television channels and other social media. Finally regarding the pending EPCG License issue, the company is actively pursuing the matter with DGFT office to resolve the matter at the earliest.

Export Sales:

The overall export performance for the year is not as per the estimates made by the company. This is mainly due to prevailing unfavorable economic and market conditions for clothing and other apparels in the European market and other parts of the world. Hence the company continued to remain focused maximum in the local market. The exports were mainly sent in the form of finished fabrics to neighboring countries like Bangladesh. The company is exploring the possibility of increasing the volume of fabric shipments to Bangladesh which again depends upon the global economic conditions as Bangladesh mainly caters to the export market. The company continues its efforts to find the possibility of developing new markets in African and Far East countries. However much depends upon the positive changes in the global economic conditions particularly in the US and European economies. The objective of the company is to achieve the target of exporting 50% of its capacity to the overseas customers with better value addition. Further efforts are continued to align with some reputed brands in the overseas market to promote the exports in large volume.

The company continues to follow the business promotion programme by taking active participation in various international Fairs/ exhibitions as well as selling garments by using the brand and logos of some important sports events. The company has executed new agreements with some reputed football clubs in Europe to enhance the scope of the sales. As India is better placed than other competitors in the global markets, the prospects are good in terms of better unit value realization and volume. The company has developed better products particularly in the printed and embroidery varieties as there is better scope for increasing the volume based business on regular basis. In view of these, company continues to follow its plans to increase the exports business in sizable volume in the future.

FIFA 2014 (Foot Ball World Cup - Brazil):

As stated in the last year the company had developed and produced wide range of garments with FIFA brand LOGOS embossed on the garments by using licentiate rights acquired for India. The overall response was encouraging though this was one of the first attempts by any company in India. Even for the company this was the first experience and the outcome was encouraging. In view of this the company has now executed fresh new agreements with other reputed football clubs.

Expansion:

As stated in the last year, the management has not undertaken any new projects during the year under review. Accordingly there will not be any major expansion plan for some period except addition of some balancing equipments and replacement of old machineries and equipments. The remaining portion of the retail expansion plan as proposed in the Rights issue offer documents will be undertaken gradually over a period of time in the next few years depending upon the market conditions.

Dividend:

In view of the requirement of funds to maintain the growth of the company as well as to fulfill the aspirations of the stakeholders, the promoters have in writing waived their entitlement on the profit distribution in the form of dividend, if any, declared by the company for the year 2013-14. Accordingly, the Board after considering all these aspects, has recommended a dividend for the year under review at the rate of Rs.0.50 per Equity Share only on the portion of the paid up equity capital held by the public as on 31st March 2014.

Operations:

The company continues to record substantial improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to the previous year. The company has achieved an increase of over 15% in the sales figures and around 34% in the net profits before tax in comparison to the previous year. However, the growth in the sales of the Retail division is lower than anticipated for the year and consequently the company has to absorb the losses generated by the Retail business activities. Because of this, the overall profit recorded by the company is lower than the projections for the year under review. The economic conditions in the country remained sluggish and pessimistic throughout the year. The situation remained same all over the world barring few countries. This was a matter of concern for the industry particularly textiles and other capital goods industry. There was no major growth in the demand witnessed by any major sectors of the industry. Lack of government initiatives, weak fiscal conditions and inflation in food prices has created a major slump in the

demand for goods in the domestic market. This has affected the growth of the company particularly in the export business and in garment sales.

The company has undertaken a major revamping of the Retail business division to strengthen the operations in order to make it a profitable division. Accordingly, the company discontinued the operations of some of the unviable stores like in Goa, Belgaum etc and also the counters operating through Large Format Stores (LFS) like Reliance/Maya etc. In its place the company has started new identical numbers of counters through other LFS like Pantaloon, Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle and Arvind Megamart. In addition to these outlets, the company has expanded the business through wholesale dealers and online sales network. The company proposes to add some more counters in the LFS formats and exclusive retail outlets in different parts of the country. The "Riot" brand name taken by the company is now fully acquired and used exclusively by the company for its Retail business activities. Apart from this, and in order to increase the profitability, the company has merged the activities of the Buying agency division with the existing marketing set up. Similarly, the company has closed the depot and merged the depot business with the existing marketing set up. The company has also discontinued the operations at Bhiwandi unit. Further, in respect of the pending EPCG License issues, the company is actively pursuing the matter with the DGFT office.

Export Sales:

There is some marginal increase in the exports in comparison to the previous year. However, the overall export performance is not as per the estimates made by the company. This is mainly due to unfavorable market conditions for clothing and other apparels in the European market and other parts of the world. Therefore, the company, during the year under review, continued to remain focused predominantly in the local market. The exports were mainly sent in the form of finished fabrics to neighboring countries like Bangladesh. The company continues to take initiatives to increase the volume of shipments to Bangladesh as the prospects to increase the same are very good. The company is now taking effective measures to explore the possibility of developing new markets in African and Far East countries. Also the company is observing some positive changes in the global market because of some economic recovery in the US and some European economies. The company is relentlessly taking various efforts to start the exports business particularly in these markets as they offer potential for supply of garments in huge volume. The long term objective of the company is to achieve a target of exporting 50% of its capacity in the overseas market. Alongside, the company continues its efforts to align with some large reputed brands in the overseas market to ensure continuity of exports in large volume.

The company continues to maintain the market development programme by taking active participation in various international Fairs/exhibitions as well as selling garments by using the brand and logos of some important sports events. One such effort undertaken by the company was by acquiring the licentiate rights of FIFA 2014 which is very encouraging and the company would be undertaking similar efforts in the future also. This has been followed with the objective of identifying some new avenues like selling of garments by developing new markets in these regions. As the global markets are now within the reach of Indian textile exporters in terms of competition the prospects are good for better unit value realization and volumes. The company has added various products like printed garments and fabrics to attract high end customers who offer better rates and attractive margins to undertake volume based business on regular basis. In view of these, the company continues to pursue its plans to increase the exports business in sizable volume in the future.

FIFA 2014 (Foot Ball World Cup - Brazil):

The company has developed and produced wide range of garments with FIFA brand LOGOS embossed on the garments by using licentiate rights acquired for India. The sale of garments embossed with FIFA LOGOS have already started in full scale and are expected to last till the end of July, 2014. As a part of expansion of the Retail business activities, the company proposes to continue the market development programme through selling licensed garments of various prestigious clubs promoting big sports events. The company is in the process of finalizing the agreements with other sports related organizations/clubs like "Real Madrid" in Spain & "Manchester City" in England. This will provide great opportunity for the company to establish the brand name in the market as well as to boost the sale of garments in the domestic market.

Expansion:

Since the company has completed almost all planned projects, the management has decided not to undertake any new projects for some time. Accordingly there will not be any major expansion plan for some period except addition of some balancing and replacement of old machineries and equipments. As per the detailed plan of capital expenditure given in the Rights Issue offer document, the company has completed the construction/acquisition of new administrative block to centralize all administrative and back office operations, new garment unit as well as significant portion of the expansion of Retails Business through setting up new stores. The remaining portion of the retail expansion plan will be undertaken gradually over a period of time in the next few years depending upon the market conditions.

In view of this the Board is pleased to recommend a dividend for the year under review at the rate of Rs.0.50 per Equity Share on the paid up share capital of the

Operations:

The company has registered substantial improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to previous in the sales is lower than anticipated due to lower than projected sales recorded by the retail division. In view of this the company had to absorb the loss generated by the Retail business activities which ultimately affected the overall profit recorded by the company.

The economic conditions in the country and across the globe continue to remain a matter of concern for the industry. Because of economic crisis in many parts of Europe, the demand for the consumer goods remain subdued. In the domestic market the situation has started deteriorating and the optimism prevailed in the last few years have started receding in the current year as the country registered economic growth much below the projected level. However the situation has still not slipped out of control and the country is expected to do much better in the current fiscal year. The company is anticipating a positive development in the demand for garments and fabrics with bolter price structure.

The company continues to expand the Retail business by adding new outlets through Large Format Stores (LFS) like Reliance/ Lifestyle etc. In addition to these outlets, the company has opened some exclusive outlets in various cities on its own or through franchisees. The company proposes to add some more counters in the LFS formats and an additional at least 15 exclusive retail outlets in different parts of the country. The "Riot" brand name taken by the company would be now fully acquired and used exclusively by the company for its Retail business activities. Apart from this the company is also taking some immediate measures to streamline the activities of the Buying agency division to expand the scope of business for the company. Further regarding the pending EPCG License matter, the company is actively following up the matter with DGFT office to resolve the issue at the earliest. Export Sales:

The market conditions continued lo remain depressed for clothing and other apparels in the European market and other parts of the world. Therefore the company during the year under review focused maximum in the local market. Hence there were no significant exports of garments and fabrics during the year under review. However the company made some efforts in the neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh to explore the possibilities of regular supply of fabrics to the garment manufacturers of these countries. The company was able to make some progress which resulted in the supply of some consignments to Bangladesh. The company is now taking some effective measures to ensure regular supply of finished fabrics to garment manufacturers of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Apart from this the company has now made some preliminary studies to assess the possibility of arranging the supply of garments through countries like Myanmar. The various options and possibilities are now assessed and a detailed critical review would be made of all these alternatives before taking any final decision. Further the company is observing some noticeable changes in the global market because of some recovery in the US economy. The company has now initiated some actions to start the exports business particularly in these markets as these markets offer potential for supply of garments in huge volume. Ultimately the company intends to supply at least 50% of its capacity in the overseas markets to ensure the sales of more value added garments and apparels. Alongside the company is actively pursuing its efforts to align with some big reputed brands in the overseas market to ensure the export in large volume.

The company continues to maintain the market development programme by taking active participation in various international Fairs/exhibitions to demonstrate the capacity to manufacture quality fabrics and gaments. This has been followed with the objective of identifying some new potential customers as well as developing new markets in these regions. As the global markets are now slowly opening up for Indian textile goods in terms of better unit value realization and volume, the company has added various products like printed garments and fabrics to attract high end customers. This will help the company to get better rates and attractive margins to undertake volume based business on regular basis. In view of these, the company has drawn up plans to increase its exports business in sizable volume in the future.

FIFA 2014 (Foot Ball World Cup - Brazil):

As a part of expansion of the Retail business activities, the company is undertaking a major market development programme from 2014. To meet this objective the company has taken the license rights for India - For apparels for FIFA 2014 (Football World Cup in Brazil). This will provide a great opportunity for the company to establish the brand name in the market and boost the sale of garments in the domestic market.

Operations:

The company has recorded significant improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to previous year. The company has registered an increase of almost 36% in the sales figures in comparison to previous year. However the growth in the sates is not in line with the projected level due to lower than the anticipated sales levels in the retail division. The economic conditions across the globe continue to remain as a concern because of economic crisis in many part of Europe. Even in US markets, the conditions are not very encouraging as the economy is still on the recovery path. In the domestic market the robust economic conditions prevailed in the last few years have started receding in the current year as the country registered economic growth much below the projected level. However overall market sentiments are very positive and the country is expected to do much better in the current fiscal year. The market conditions are expected to grow at a better pace in the domestic market. The company is already experiencing a spurt in the demand for garments and fabrics with better price structure.

The company expanded the scope of Retail business by adding outlets through Large Format Stores (LFS) like Reliance/life style etc. These Stores (LFS) are functioning apart from company's outlets opened in various cities. The company proposes to add more counters in the LFS formats and an additional at least 15 retail outlets in different parts of the country. The "Riot" brand name taken by the company would be acquired completely and used exclusively by the company only for its Retail business activities. Apart from this the company is also in the process of setting up a Buying House division in the lines of discontinued Apparel Buying division to expand the scope of business for the company. Further regarding the pending EPCG License matter, the company continues to pursue with Joint DGFT, Mumbai to resolve the issue at the earliest.

Export Sales:

In view of depressed conditions in the demand for clothing and other apparels in the European market and other parts of the world, the company during the year under review focused maximum in the local market. Hence there were no significant exports of garments and fabrics during the year under review. However in view of signs of recovery in the US markets and also efforts to revive the economy in the European region, the company undertook some exports during the last quarter of the financial year. The company has now initiated some actions to start the exports business particularly in the Asian regions mainly for quality fabrics. Apart from this the company is also negotiating with different buyers in the U S A and Europe for garment exports with better unit value realization. As the situation is gradually improving the company is hopeful of restarting the exports to these regions. Alongside the company continues its efforts to align with some big reputed brands in the overseas market to ensure the export in large volume.

The company continues to take active part in international Fairs/exhibitions to demonstrate the capacity to manufacture quality fabrics and garments in huge volumes. The company is hopeful of starting some sizable quantity of exports once the European markets start showing signs of recovery from recession. The company is now in the process of adding some printing line to increase the product range for exports markets. This will help the company to get better rates and attractive margins to undertake volume based business on regular basis. Ultimately in the long run the company now intends to export at least 30-50% of its production capacity to the various buyers all over the world with different product ranges.

Expansion:

As a part of the expansion cum modernization plan, the company is now in the process of setting up the printing project at the existing factory unit at Navi Mumbai.

Dividend:

In view of ongoing expansion of business activities and also considering the need for conserving the resources for capital expenditure, your Directors have decided not to recommend for payment of any dividend on the Equity Shares for the year ended 31st March 2011.

Operations:

The company has recorded some improvement in the overall performance during the year under review in comparison to previous year. The profitability has increased in comparison to the previous year. The economic conditions across the globe have started showing signs of recovery barring few countries in the Europe. The robust economic conditions have further accelerated the growth in the domestic industrial sector. There is all round growth in the demand for goods in the domestic market. This has facilitated the improvement in the performance of the Garment unit during the year under review. The domestic business has registered a growth level of around 8% in comparison to previous year. However there is no substantial growth in the overall sales due to reduction in the export business.

During the year under review the company has started the Retail business activities by setting up few retail stores in different cities. However the progress in the first year is not in line with the projections due to initial teething problems and the time required for creating the brand awareness in the market. The company is now in the process of developing the brand name in the market by adding further chain of stores in the current year. Apart from this the company is also in the process of setting up a wholesale trade to expand the volume of domestic garment business. In respect of the Apparel buying activities, considering the present market conditions, the company has now discontinued the Apparel Buying division and merged the activities in the existing garment division itself. Further regarding the pending EPCG License matter, the company continues to pursue with Joint DGFT, Mumbai to resolve the issue at the earliest.

Export Sales:

In view of improvement in the demand for clothing and other apparels in the domestic market the company during the year under review focused maximum in the local market. Hence there were no significant exports of garments and fabrics during the year under review. Apart from this the unit value realization of exports are still very low and not economical comparing to the cost of manufacturing and the various quality and compliance norms imposed on the domestic manufacturers. Though there are some reversionary trends in the recessionary conditions in the U.S, the market conditions are not very encouraging in the Europe particularly in Spain, Greece and Portugal. In view of these difficult conditions, the company had focused more in the domestic market. However the company continued its efforts to align with some big reputed brands in the overseas market to ensure the export in large volume.

The company had taken active participation in international Fairs/exhibitions to demonstrate the capacity to manufacture quality fabrics and garments in huge volumes. The company had put up its stall in Intermodal Mexico and Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall Winter. This will help the company to identify some new potential customers as well as developing new markets in these regions. The overseas markets are now slowly opening up for Indian textile goods in terms of better unit value realization and volume. The company has added various facilities in the garment unit to attract high end customers. This will help the company to get better rates and attractive margins to undertake volume based business on regular basis. In view of these emerging trends, the company has drawn up plans to increase its exports business by manifold in the coming years. Finally the long term objective of the company is to export at least 50% of its production capacity to the various buyers all over the world with different product ranges.

Expansion:

The company has prepared a detailed plan of capital expenditure for the next two years which includes setting up another new garment unit, expansion of Retail business activities, and construction/acquisition of new administrative block to centralize all administrative and back office operations. The new garment unit would be set up either adjacent to the existing unit or in the nearby areas. The funds required for this programme will be arranged though issue of fresh equity shares on rights basis.

Rights Issue:

The Board had accorded their consent in their meeting held on 13th November, 2010 for issue of further shares to the existing shareholders on rights basis in the ratio of one share for every single share held as on the record date to be announced separately. The object of the issue is to provide funds for the foretasted capital expenditure plan. The company proposes to raise Rs.852 lakhs through the issue of fresh shares on rights basis from the existing shareholders. The company has appointed M/S.Vertex Securities Limited (A subsidiary of Tran warranty Finance Limited) as lead managers to the issue.

Dividend:

Considering the need for conserving the resources for expansion of business activities, your Directors have decided not to recommend for payment of any dividend on the Equity Shares for the year ended 31st March 2010.

Operations:

There is substantial improvement in the performance during the year under review in comparison to previous year. The global economic conditions continue to remain subdued for the major part of the year. However some amount positive signs of economic recovery were seen in U.S.A and Japan. Further the performance of the Garment unit has also shown some remarkable improvement in terms of productivity and profitability. The overall turnover has registered a growth level of around 31% in comparison to previous year. Similarly the Garment unit have also recorded an increase in the turnover from Rs. 5.66 crores to Rs. 10.67 crores thus registering growth of almost 89% in comparison to last year.

The process house as well as garment units are now fully stabilized and the Company is now poised to take full advantage of its strength in the production of quality fabrics and Garments. Based on these strengths, the company is now venturing into Retail as well as Buying House activities.

These business activities will enable the company to utilize its facilities to derive the maximum benefit in terms access to market as well as synergy in the production and capacity utilization. Further regarding the pending EPCG License matter, the company continues to pursue with Joint DGFT, Mumbai to resolve the issue at the earliest.

Export Sales:

Even though there is some significant increase in the exports sale during the year under review in comparison to previous year, the overall export performance is not as per the anticipated levels. The recessionary trend in the U.S. and Europe had severe impact on the export performance of most of the textile units particularly in the garment sector. In spite of some stimulus measures announced by the government for the textile sector, the impact of the same is yet to reflect in the workings of the garment units in the country. Apart from this the unit value realization of the export orders are far from the breakeven levels for our units to execute under the prevailing conditions. Even the foreign exchange market is still not conducive for the exporters as the US $ rates are not very attractive and stable.

The company is now taking all possible measures as the global conditions are showing signs of recovery particularly in the U.S.A and Japan. However Europe is still reeling under certain kind of recessionary conditions particularly in Greece, Spain etc .and the huge stimulus measures announced to bail out these economies will have some positive impact on the exports to these countries in the coming years. Considering all these aspects, the company is now directly taking exports Business from all over the world through its new Apparel Buying House division. This new division would be sourcing orders for arranging the supply through various manufacturers apart from providing business to the companys garment division on selective basis depending upon the profitability and volume of business.

Apart from this the company is also exploring the opportunities to expand its client base in African and Latin American countries including Mexico etc. to increase the scope of the export business. India is gradually becoming a global hub for sourcing Garments and Apparels by buyers from all over the world. In view of these emerging trends in the global market, the company has drawn up plans to increase its exports business by manifold in the coming years. Apart from this the company has installed some additional machinery in the printing, embroidery and other sections to cater to the requirements of some of the best international brands in the premium segments. Eventually the company is planning to export at least 50% of its production capacity to the various buyers all over the world with different product ranges.

Expansion:

There are no major expansion plans or any other form of investment envisaged for the company except adding some additional machineries and other balancing equipments to strengthen the production line as well as to provide some value addition to the garment division. However the company has started the following activities to enhance the market share as well as to increase the overall profitability of the company.

1) Retail Division:

The company has started the retail division under the Brand Name "RIOT" .The Company would set up chain of Retail Stores in different part of the country to sell directly to the retail customers. Apart from this the company would also be setting up Franchise shops to sell the products directly to the retail customers. The initial investment for this new division would be made by the company and as per the projections all further investments would be generated by the division itself from its operations.

2) Apparel Buying House:

The Company has set up another division primarily to source the materials for various buyers from different part of the world. Apart from providing some good export business to our garment division this new division would be sourcing Apparels and Garments for various buyers against their requirements from local manufacturers. The investment for this new division is not very significant and would be made by the company from internal sources.
