2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

Management Discussion and Analysis Report for the year under review as stipulated under Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement with Stock Exchange in India, is presented as under.

a) ACRYLIC FIBER INDUSTRY - GLOBAL AND INDIAN PERSPECTIVE:

In the year 2014, global Acrylic Fiber (AF) consumption seems to have reduced marginally by about 1.0 to 1.5% against forecasts of an unchanged demand. AF consumption in China seems to have taken a hit of about 7-9% in 2014 over previous year on back of weak global demand. This drop in Chinese consumption has been borne mainly by exporters to China who had to look for other markets. This is the lowest level of consumption post 2008 in China. Indian AF consumption was also estimated to be lower by about 3-4%. However, this drop must be seen along an increased consumption of about 12% in last year which was more due to inventory building. On the whole, Indian consumption of AF has been generally increasing gradually since 2009.

International AF prices especially in Far East Asia, the largest AF consuming region in world, were quite stable for a larger part of the FY 2014-15 pressed by softer demand despite higher crude oil prices. A decline was seen in the last 4-5 months of the year following lower upstream costs and market conditions. In India too, higher prices of AF limited demand from Sep-14 to Nov-14 and also suppressed prices from Oct-14 to Mar-15.

Globally, the AF capacity utilization was estimated to be around 88% about two notches higher than 2013. This was a combined effect of some reduction in global installed capacity as well as lower production. Chinese capacity utilization was estimated to be about 94%, about 2% lower than 2013. Indian AF capacity utilisation is estimated to be about 92%. Exports out of India contributed significantly to high capacity utilisation in 2014.

Acrylonitrile (ACN), a crude oil derivative, is the principal raw material for manufacture of Acrylic Fiber. Normally, it is influenced by crude oil prices, though the same is also impacted by it's demand-supply balance as well as demand for propylene (an input for ACN) from competing end uses and it's availability. Crude oil hit one of it's highest levels post 2008 in jun-14 before starting off to a sharp decline which continued for almost 7 months. ACN prices, however, held out for first 4-5 months of decline of crude but adjusted sharply thereafter as demand faltered on high prices. This volatility has impacted AF producers and customers alike. Exchange rate of Indian Rupee has been fairly stable during the year especially against USD quite unlike in 2013 when this was a major factor of wild movement of ACN and Acrylic Fiber prices in Indian market.

Globally, there has been a marginal drop in ACN capacity due to closure of one plant each in Japan and Korea despite start-up of one new plant in China. However, new capacity of appx 9 Lac MTPA is scheduled to start in 2015 and 2016 which is about 13% of present capacity. These new plants will reduce the supply deficit in Asian region that is currently heavily dependant on imports from US and Europe.

The year under discussion was a challenging year for global AF industry which faced steep rise and then a sharp drop in upstream crude oil on one hand and a cautious market & soft demand for AF on the other hand. Increased gap with respect to competing fibers also dampened buying of Acrylic Fiber globally, though on a limited scale. Indian AF producers continued to face imports of AF at low prices. Delay in conclusion of Anti- dumping investigations by government authorities adversely impacted margins of Indian AF producers.

b) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS & REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

- PRODUCTION & SALES REVIEW:

The total production during the year under consideration was 20,595 MT as against 20,428 MT in the previous year. Your Company has achieved a turnover ofRs. 54,080.28 Lacs against a turnover of Rs. 50,957.64 Lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation ofRs. 476.87 lacs (previous year Rs. 1,136.76 lacs) and provision for current tax (including wealth tax) of Rs. 1,062.69 lacs (previous year Rs. 1,878.80 lacs), deferred tax of Rs. 56.49 lacs (previous year Rs. (322.18) lacs), Profit aftertax of the Company is Rs. 3,342.1 1 lacs as against a net profit of Rs. 4,366.97 lacs in the previous year. This is about 23.46% lower than FY 2013-14. Main reason for this drop is higher raw material and fuel cost with corresponding lower increase in sales realisation as also lower creadit of income from investments, though accrued.

- RESOURCE UTILIZATION:

i) Fixed Assets:

The gross fixed assets (including work-in- progress) as at 31st March, 2015 were Rs. 24,714.78 lacs as compared to Rs. 24,301.96 lacs in the previous year.

ii) Current Assets:

The current assets as on 31st March, 2015 were Rs. 24,791.61 lacs as againstRs.22,979.89 lacs in the previous year. Inventory level was at Rs. 7,003.78 lacs as against Rs. 7,703.09 lacs in the previous year.

c) BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

Indian economy is forecast to grow by 7.5-8.5% in 2015-16. Estimated growth in 2014-15 is 7.2%. Country seems to have come out of Current account and fiscal deficits challenges it faced in 2013-14 and 2014-15. Consumer Price Inflation is steadily coming down and monetary policies are being crafted to promote industrial growth. There is an overall improvement in business sentiment in India and the growth momentum seems to be sustainable.

Globally, US economy is forecast to grow 3.0% in 201 5 (2.4% in 2014), Euro-zone is expected to grow 1.3% (0.83% in 2014) and China at 7.0% (7.4% in 2014). Improvement in economic conditions situation especially in Euro-zone and USA can boost AF demand. However, domestic consumption of China is expected to remain stagnant.

Raw material availability especially of ACN is expected to be better with new capacities coming on-stream in 2015 and 2016. On-purpose propylene plants are getting commissioned in China which are expected to bridge the availability gap of propylene, raw material for ACN. Lower and stable crude oil prices, better availability of propylene and new capacities of ACN net of small capacity rationalisation in Asia are expected to translate into less volatile ACN prices despite some expected capacity rationalization in Asia. However, very low crude oil prices can make some of these new investments nonviable, which can change supply- demand balance.

Based on overall assessment of domestic industry, stocks in AF channel and economic growth forecasts, AF consumption in 2015-16 in India is likely to be sustained or increase slightly over 2014-15. At lower crude oil prices, price differential with respect to competing fibers is also expected to be lower which will help promote Acrylic Fiber demand. Less than normal monsoon in India, as is being forecast, can cause some damage to AF demand especially from rural areas. An area of concern is delay in completion of anti-dumping investigations by government authorities which is resulting in continued imports of unreasonably low priced AF and putting pressure on margins of Indian AF producers. Lack of an even playing field is a hurdle in creating an environment for expansion and investment in domestic capacity.

d) INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY:

Your Company has a well-designed Internal Audit programme and dedicated team for independent review of all systems, procedures and financial controls of the Company to bring in the best industry practices, compliance with internal systems & procedures and statuary laws. The Company's overall internal control system is adequate given size and nature of operations. All significant issues are regularly presented to the Audit committee of the Company. Senior management of your

Company places emphasis on taking proper actions on the significant issues, findings and recommendations of internal audit and systems are strengthened appropriately.

Internal Financial Controls:

The Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. During the year, such controls were tested and no reportable material weakness in the design or operation were observed.

e) MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION OF RISK & CONCERNS:

Though consumption of AF in India in 2014 is lower over previous year, it is still at it's highest level post 2008. Better forecasts for national economy in 2015 and subsequent years is likely to help in sustaining and possible growth of industry. Poor monsoon in 2015, though can be a dampener. At the same time, caution is suggested in expecting high growth year on year. Indian AF industry is dependent upon overseas sources for supply of major raw material in addition to ACN. Steep devaluation or high volatility in INR exchange rate can substantially raise cost to Indian customer as well as create uncertainty that can be detrimental to demand and thus growth of AF industry. As stated earlier, unreasonably low priced imports of AF will continue to pose serious problems to the domestic AF Industry.

Lower crude oil prices will translate into lower AF prices, making it more affordable to the masses. This augurs well for AF demand growth. Current forecasts of crude oil are in favour of growth of AF industry. However, a large and unexpected geo-political issue affecting crude oil availability can upset industry expectations. Also, volatile movements in crude oil prices can result in inventory gains as well as losses.

Prices of competing fibers such as cotton and polyester are though low but not likely, to promote significant substitution. Therefore, we do not foresee any major possibility of large substitution of AF by such fibers. This equation can, however, change with oversupply of these fibers or sharp drop in prices of these fibers or large change in crude oil prices impacting the entire petro-c hain.

f) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES/1NDUSTRIAL RELATIONS:

This area receives continuous focus of management of your Company. Investment in human resources starts with careful selection of team members. The training and skill development of all team members to enhance their knowledge and competencies is an ongoing planned effort. Your Company has always endeavored to promote and maintain a positive work environment that encourages innovation, trust and harmony. Safety of personnel and installations receives top attention of the management. The industrial relations remained harmonious and cordial during the year.

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

Management Discussion and Analysis Report for the year under review as stipulated under Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement with Stock Exchange in India, is presented as under.

a) ACRYLIC FIBRE INDUSTRY - GLOBAL AND INDIAN PERSPECTIVE:

In the year 2013, global Acrylic Fibre (AF) consumption seems to have shown a marginal growth of less than 1% over the consumption in the previous year as against expectations of a moderate growth. Estimates of all manmade fibers'' consumption growth are over 9% and those of all fibers'' are around 4% globally in the same year. The Chinese AF consumption seems to have increased marginally by about 2% in 2013 over 2012. Infact, Chinese AF consumption has stagnated and has been fluctuating in a narrow range over the last four years. Globally, AF consumption has not shown any growth and is reported to have declined marginally in last five years. As against this consumption drop globally and stagnancy in China, Indian AF consumption seems to have crossed one Lac MT mark in 2013 showing a growth of over 9% over 2012. This growth in AF consumption in India in 2013 is higher than that of estimated growth for all manmade fibers ( 3.7%) and all fibers ( 7.0%) during the same period. The faster growth in Indian AF consumption as compared to growth in other fibers in India as well as globally during uncertain economic and geo-political situations is both positive and encouraging.

International AF prices especially in Far East Asia, the largest AF consuming region in world, were stable during 2013 despite cyclical movement of Acrylonitrile (ACN, the main raw material for Acrylic Fiber) prices. However, in India, AF prices moved in tandem with ACN prices though price of other competing synthetic fibers in India did not exhibit so much volatility.

Globally, the AF capacity utilization was estimated to be around 86%, Chinese capacity utilization was estimated to be less than 80% with Indian capacity utilization at above 90%.

The principal raw material of the Company Acrylonitrile (ACN) followed crude oil prices, which have been volatile. ACN Rates at beginning of the year were lowest and ended the year almost 12% higher in US Dollar (USD) terms amidst volatility throughout the year. However, due to steep devaluation of INR, increase in raw material cost was much higher in Indian rupee terms. Further, fluctuation in USD/INR exchange rate created many anxious moments as well as caused difficulty in industry. Additional ACN capacity of more than 3.5 Lac MT was added in Asia in 2013 which helped feed about 4% increase in global consumption of ACN, which was shared by applications other than AF. Global AF consumption could have been higher but for the reasons of slowing Chinese economy, geo- political factors in some of the regions, feeble recovery in Eurozone and US.

The year under discussion was full of challenges for AF industry both globally as also in India. Global industry faced a declining demand and Indian industry had to face steep depreciation and volatility in INR. Indian AF producers faced additional challenge of AF imports at low prices. Indian industry was able to achieve higher exports thereby leading to improved capacity utilization.

b) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS & REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

- PRODUCTION & SALES REVIEW:

The total production during the year under consideration was 20,428 MT as against 20,404 MT in the previous year. Your Company has achieved a turnover of Rs. 50,957.64 Lacs against a turnover of Rs. 47,369.65 Lacs in the previous year, an increase of over 7.57%. After providing for depreciation of Rs. 1,136.76 lacs (previous year Rs. 1,128.93 lacs) and provision for current tax (including wealth tax) of Rs. 1,878.80 lacs (previous year Rs. 1,530.00 lacs), deferred tax of Rs. (322.18) lacs (previous year Rs. (175.62) lacs), Profit after tax of the Company is Rs. 4366.82 lacs as against a profit after tax of Rs. 2,440.32 lacs in the previous year which is a healthy increase of over 78.94%.

- RESOURCE UTILIZATION:

i) Fixed Assets:

The gross fixed assets (including work-in- progress) as at 31st March, 2014 were Rs. 24,301.96 lacs as compared to Rs. 23,959.09 lacs in the previous year.

ii) Current Assets:

The current assets as on 31st March, 2014 were Rs. 22,979.89 lacs as against Rs. 22,583.48 lacs in the previous year. Inventory level was at Rs. 7,703.09 lacs as against Rs. 6,621.15 lacs in the previous year.

- FINANCIAL CONDITIONS & LIQUIDITY: Liquidity & Capital Resources:

(Rs.Rs in Lacs)

PARTICULARS 2013-14 2012-13

Cash & cash equivalents:

Beginning of the year 1,209.08 534.16

End of the year 582.31 1,209.08

Net cash provided/(used) by:

Operating Activities 4,266.15 2,372.79

Investing Activities (4,393.44) 285.20

Financial Activities (499.47) (1,983.07)

c) BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

The forecasts on Indian economic growth vary from 5.0% to 6.0% in the year 2014-15. Current account and fiscal deficits continue to pose challenges. Consumer Price Inflation, though under little check for about a year, is still at uncomfortable levels. This has prompted RBI to follow tight monetary policy. Exchange rate fluctuations and devaluation are another concern of industry especially due to large dependence on import of ACN.

Globally, US economy is forecast to grow 2.8% in 2014 (1.9% in 2013), Eurozone is expected to grow 1.0% (-0.4% in 2013) and China at 7.5% (7.7% in 2013). Improvement in global economic situation especially in Eurozone can be a pull on AF demand which has been absent during past few years.

About 6 Lac MT p.a. additional capacities of ACN are likely to be commissioned in China in second half of 2014. This will be approx. 11% of ACN consumption in 2013. Another about 4 Lac MT is reported to go on- stream in 2015 and 7 Lac MT in 2016. There is a possibility that some of this capacity expansion may be rescheduled to later years or even dropped. Yet, a substantial increase in ACN capacity can be expected.

Demand of ACN is not expected to grow at this pace. This is likely to keep ACN prices stable at lower numbers in next few years. Although some capacity rationalization in Japan and some other locations is not ruled out, yet supply will outpace demand. Some of the new capacities planned in 2016 are based on low cost propylene (raw material for ACN) technologies that are likely to support ACN and AF consumption.

Based on overall assessment of domestic industry, stocks in AF channel and economic growth forecasts, AF demand in 2014-15 in India is expected to be slightly higher than in 2013-14. Price differential with respect to competing fibers could be a challenge for domestic Industry. Less than normal monsoon in India, as is being forecast, can adversely affect AF demand especially from rural and semi-urban areas. Stable and affordable prices of ACN, as are expected, are likely to help growth of AF industry and its downstream which is likely to support operations of AF producers in India. At the same time, there is an urgent need to stop AF imports at unreasonable and unjustified prices from few countries that are taking away a large share of growth in Indian market and also stifling fresh investment in Indian AF industry.

d) INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM:

Your Company has a well-designed Internal Audit programme to review all systems, processes and controls of the Company to bring in the best industry practices, compliance with internal systems & procedures and statuary compliances. Senior management of your Company places emphasis on taking timely action on the findings and recommendations of internal audit and systems are strengthened appropriately.

e) MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION OF RISK & CONCERNS:

Despite lower economic growth in 2013-14, AF demand in India has shown growth. Whether or not this growth will sustain is difficult to forecast. Continued slowdown in Indian economic growth, slow pace of new jobs creation, high inflation and possible high fiscal deficits are the risks associated with future growth of AF industry in India. Monsoon, as discussed earlier, is another important demand driver for AF in India and any substantial deficit can adversely affect Indian AF demand. Indian AF industry is dependent upon overseas sources for supply of major raw materials in addition to ACN. Another steep devaluation of INR can substantially raise costs to Indian customer that can be detrimental to demand and thus growth of AF industry. Additionally, unreasonably low priced imports of AF will continue to pose serious problems to the domestic AF Industry.

Global political and economic factors are affecting global economy in more than one way. Demand pick-up remains shaky and still uncertain in advanced economies of US and Europe. Withdrawal of stimulus in US and course correction in Chinese economic policies are affecting the economic sentiments globally. Prices of commodities such as cotton, metals and especially crude oil have become volatile and uncertain. Industry players are adopting a cautious approach as a response to this situation. Main raw materials of AF are petrochemical derivatives and are susceptible to fluctuations in crude oil prices. Few large producers influence global ACN

supply and any temporary adjustments of operations by one or some of them can affect the supply demand balance and thus prices. Low prices of competing fibers such as polyester can eat into AF demand, as has already been seen in past.

f) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS:

This area receives continuous focus of management of your Company. Investment in human resources starts with careful selection of team members. The training and skill development of all team members to enhance their knowledge and competencies is an ongoing planned effort. Your Company has always endeavoured to promote and maintain a positive work environment that encourages innovation, trust and harmony.

Pursuant to said offer, the Total number of Equity Shares bought back under the Buy Back is 1,55,24,672.

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

a) ACRYLIC FIBRE INDUSTRY - GLOBAL AND INDIAN PERSPECTIVE:

In the year 2010, global total fibre consumption has been estimated to grow by 2.4% over the previous yea*, though at 84.64 mio MT still remaining below the consumption seen in the year 2007 at 85,55 mio MT. In India, total fibre consumption is estimated to have grown by about 6% in the year 2010. The Chinese total fibre consumption is estimated to have grown by 9.3% in the year 2010. Against this backdrop of growth in total fibre consumption, the growth in acrylic fibre consumption has been estimated to be relatively modest at around 2% globally with little change in Indian and Chinese consumption over the previous year.

The year 2010, specially, the 2nd half witnessed unprecedented increase in cotton prices as a result of several factors. This increase, to a certain extent, led to price increase in other competing fibres especially polyester fibre and to a lesser extent other natural and manmade fibres. It also led to accelerated inter-fibre substitution.

The acrylic fibre prices witnessed drop in the 1st half of the year 2010-11 both on account of drop in AcryIonitrile prices (major raw material) as also large price differential with polyester fibre prices leading to threats of increased substitution and drop in acrylic fibre demand. However, the volatility in crude oil and propylene prices in the 2nd half of the year 2010-11 led to increase in Acrylonitrile prices leading to pulling up of acrylic fibre prices also. The increase in polyester fibre prices in tandem with cotton also supported recovery in acrylic fibre prices. The continuous trend of increase in Acrylonitrile prices led to inventory value gains for Indian fibre producers. The effective spread of acrylic fibre industry improved in the 2nd half of the year which is reflected in the overall performance of the Company. The acrylic fibre industry operating rate was around 86% in the year globally. The operating rate of domestic acylic fibre industry was also at almost this level.

The availability and prices of Acrylonitrile have major influence on the performance of acrylic fibre industry. The demand of Acrylonitrile increased by around 7% in the year 2010 leading to a tight balance between demand arid supply. With fresh Acrylonitrile capacity coming up in Asia in the year 2011, the tight balance is likely to ease slightly. On medium term basis; the demand and supply of Acrylonitrile is likely to maintain a close balance.

The global structure of acrylic fibre market shows Capacity in few countries With very little or no domestic consumption. The producers from these countries have to depend mainly on exports. The dumping by these producers in countries Iike ours is a continous and live threat.

b) FINANCIAL ANALYSIS & REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: -

PRODUCTION & SALES REVIEW:

The total production during the year under consideration was 20,044 MT as against 18,506 MT in the previous year. Your Company has achieved a turnover of Rs. 43,033.51 lacs against a turnover of Rs. 28,673.88 lacs in the previous year. After providing for depreciation of Rs. 1,116.90 lacs (previous year Rs. 1,124,28 lacs) and provision for Current tax (including wealth tax) of Rs. 2,163.00 lacs (previous year Rs. 1,150.00 lacs ), deferred tax (net of adjustments ) of Rs. (297.84) lacs (previous year Rs. 212.88 lacs), and income taxad/ustnierrte for earlier years of Rs. Nil lacs (previous year 0.01 lacs), Profit afte tax of the Company is Rs. 3,773.72 lacs as against Rs. 4,344.14 lacs in the previous year.

- RESOURCE UTILISATION:

i) Fixed Assets;

Investing Activities (1,505.72) (4288.64)

c) BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

The global economic growth in the year 2010 at more than 3.5% and expected growth in the year 2011 and 2012 around 4% p.a. lend confidence in world economic recovery. The Indian economy is expected to grow between 7 to 8% in the year 2011 -12 and beyond in the remaining period of 12th five year plan period. The increase in per capita income will support the demand of textile products within the country. The forecast of normal monsoon in the year 2011 is also a positive factor. The Government of India has extended TUFS for the retmaining part of the 12th five year plan which will encourage creation of fresh textile capacity deploying modern technology both for domestic and export markets . Many global textile brands and retailers are looking beyond China for outsourcing. These are some of the major factors which augur well for growth of textile industry in India. The acrylic fibre industry is also likely to be a beneficiary of this growth.

There are several factors which seem to pose challenges some of which look formidable. Due to geopolitical and other factors, crude oil prices are once again on a boil. The commodity prices have touched unprecedented levels. The food prices have shot up globally. The inflationary pressures are leading to tight monetary policies which may adversely impact the growth momentum. These factors may slow down the economic recovery world over and specially could be very challenging for emerging economies and poorer countries.

For acrylic fibre industry, structural issues of propylene market besides increase in crude oil prices are very important. These two factors along with planned and unplanned turnarounds of Acrylonitrile plants in the 1st half of the year 2011 have led to historically high prices of Acrylonitrile at the time of writing this report. On the

other hand, cotton and polytester prices have shown some downward movement in the recent weeks. Though increase in Acrylonitrile prices warrant increase in acrylic fibre prices, the market may not accept the increase. Besides shrinkage in demand due to macro economic factors; the difference between acrylic fibre and polyester prices has widened which may encourage substitution. The margins of acrylic fibre producers, are likely to come under pressure.

The coming financial year 2011 -12 is likely to be a difficult period on account of pressures both on demand and prices of acrylic fibre as also risk of inventory value losses. But management will remain vigilant and deal with the situation with prudence and foresight. Nevertheless, the year will be full of challenges and the effect on performance cannot be ruled out.

d) INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM:

The internal audit is well designed and adequate to review all systems, processes and controls of the Company. It covers review and examination of compliances with all policies procedures and statutory requirements. The suggestions for improvement of systems and processes form part of the recommendations of the internal audit team. The findings and recommendations of the internal audit team are discussed and examined by the senior management and the audit committee of the boards The timely implementation of the corrective measures is tracked.

e) MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION OF RISK & CONCERNS:

The principal raw material Acrylonitrile and Vinyle Acetate Monomer are both petrochemical derivatives and are highly susceptible to volatility in crude oil prices. The propylene market structure, shortages and fluctuating prices-further add to the volatility.

There are only a limited number of large Acrylonitrile producers in the World which influence the supply and pricing of Acrylonitrile.Raw material sourcing and prices are a major risk area for the Company. In the first five months of the year 2011, Acrylonitrile prices have touched historically high levels as a result of combination of the above said factors. The present prices look to be disconnected with long term values in the supply chain. Any sharp correction is likely to add to the woes of the acrylic fibre industry.

The inter-fibre substitution in particular of acrylic fibre by polyester remain an area of concern. The inflationary pressures may lead to slower economic growth rates both in India and globally and may adversely impact textile consumption including acrylic fibre consumption. Changes in monsson pattern and its impact on agriculture incomes, climatic conditions such as length of winter Season and fashion trends may become factors of concern.

f) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES/ INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS:

The Company continued with its efforts of on going learning organization and the emphasis on development of the potential of its people through training and development. The functional training programmes were reviewed and further strengthened by incorporating customers. The efforts to strengthen positive work environment promote innovation and excellence were renewe.The company has always placed great emphasis on building a culture of mutual trust and harmony. The efforts in this direction were continued. The industrial relations remained harmonious and peaceful during the year.

The Company employed over 290 persons during the year.
