FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

During the fiscal 2014-15, the turnover of the Company increased to Rs. 3,205.52 Lakhs as compared to Rs. 2,638.57 Lakhs in the previous year. However due to sluggish market, increase in labour, power and other operational costs , and financial constraints , Company could not optimally utilize its capacities and its lossess increased to Rs. 2,411.71 Lakhs as compared to Rs. 962.02 Lakhs in the previous year. Further, over the period the company has eroded its net worth completely and it has been declared as a Sick Company under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act'1985 by the Board for industrial and financial restructuring (BIFR) vide its order dated 18th July'2012. Management Discussion and Analysis Indian Textile Industry is one of the leading textile Industries in the world. The textile sector has always been an important part of people's lives in India. The textile sector is highly diverse and has hand-spun and hand woven segments at one end of the spectrum, and capital- intensive, sophisticated and modern mills at the other. India's Textile Industry is largely dependent on textile manufacturing and export and India earns about 17% of its foreign exchange through Indian textile exports. The Indian Textile Industry also contributes 5% of the GDP and employs more than 35 million people, the second largest employment only after agriculture, and 14% of the industrial production of the country.

However, for Amit Spinning the last fiscal was very difficult and challenging mainly due to sluggish market demand and rapid & significant increase in labour, power and other operating costs and shortage of working capital .which lead to fall in EBITDA levels.

M/s Amit Spinning Industries Limited has already been declared as a Sick Company under SICA by BIFR and the UCO Bank has been appointed as the Operating Agency. However, with an attempt to safeguard the interests of the stakeholders particularly employees, unit has been engaged in carrying out under job work.

Management is confident that once the rehabilitation scheme is approved by the BIFR, Company will turn around and recover from the current difficult phase and accordingly it is in process of reviewing its strategic plans and looking at means to find a way to increase its turnover, reduce its costs and achieve a higher value addition so that it could achieve positive result in the near future. Segment-Wise Performance

Amit Spinning Industries Ltd. (ASIL) being a cotton yarn manufacturer has only one business segment. On the basis of geographical categorization of market, ASIL identified two segments i.e. exports and domestic.

During the year under review, Company has manufactured 1281.64 MT of yarn on its own resources and 1112.65 MT of yarn on job work basis.

Subsidiary Companies

As there are no subsidiaries/ associates / joint ventures of the Company, the provisions contained in Companies Act, 2013/Listing Agreements relating to subsidiaries are not applicable. Share Capital The Company's issued and paid up capital as on 31st March, 2015 stands at Rs. 20,58,48,335/- divided into 4,11,69,667 fully paid up equity shares of Rs. 5/- each. During the year, under review, the Company has not issued any share(s). Further the Company has not issued any share with differential Voting Rights/Sweat Equity shares/under Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) earlier and during the year.

The Company has no scheme of provision of money for purchase of its own shares by employees or by trustees for the benefit of employees. Hence the details under rule 16 (4) of Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 are not required to be disclosed. Management Perception On Opportunities, Risks, Concern & Outlook The potential size of the Indian textile industry is expected to reach US$220 billion by 2020. Government has allowed 100% FDI in the Indian textiles sector under the automatic route. Further, the Government has proposed the establishment of Centers of Excellence for training the workforce in the textile sector and also to establish institutes under the public-private partnership (PPP) model to encourage private sector participation in the development of the industry. However due to change in China policy, Indian exports have been affected and showed down by 50% in the graph of financial year 2014-15, but could recover partially in the year 2015-16 to 1.2 million tones.

Further, Government has approved a debt restructuring package to help loss making textile mills to be administered on case by case basis by the banks within the prudential norms of the Reserve Bank of India. Also, BIFR has decided on reliefs / concessions etc. to be given to units / companies on the revival packages which will prove to be beneficial for Amity Spinning Industries Limited, as well.

Further, with focus on Make in India, the Indian Textile industry is expected to become resilient and robust through various support measures likely to be announced by the government. The future outlook for the Indian Textile Industry looks promising, buoyed by both strong domestic consumption and increase in export turnover.

Slow but potentially promising increase in demand of cotton yarn in domestic market and talk of economic reforms by the new government as well as encouraging export promotion policy for textile sector have already improved market sentiments to some extent. With the awaited approval of rehabilitation scheme by BIFR and with the continued support and co-operation of company's bankers, management believes that your Company would again initiate its own production, optimally utilize capacities, increase sales volumes, and consequently margins are also expected to be strengthened in due course.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

In view of financial constraints including shortage in working capital and lack of financial support from Company''s lenders, the turnover of the Company has decreased to Rs. 2,638.57 lakhs in fiscal 2013-14 as compared to Rs. 3,482.76 lakhs in the previous year. The Company could not utilize its entire capacities, to safeguard the interest of the employees, the manufacturing unit is running under job work basis accordingly Company''s losses increased to Rs. 962.02 lakhs as compared to Rs. 305.20 lakhs in the previous year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The cotton and textiles industry has an overwhelming presence in the Indian economy. Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life, the textiles industry also plays a pivotal role through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation and export earnings of the country. India has improved its ranking as per the recent data released by ''UN Comtrade'' in Global Textiles as well as Apparel Exports. In Global Textiles Exports, India now stands at second position beating its competitors like Italy, Germany and Bangladesh, with China still retaining its top position. However, the contribution of the textile industry in terms of percentage to industrial production and export earnings is constant at 12% during the last three years and current year.

However as per the data available with the Textile Commissioner, 104 cotton/man-made fibre textiles mills (Non SSI) closed across the country during last three years. Out of 104 mills, 34 textile cases are registered with BIFR as on 31.12.2012.

Unfortunately, M/s Amit Spinning Industries Limited is one among the 34 textile cases which is registered with BIFR due to shortage in working capital requirement. However, to meet current challenges which include fixed cost, overhead expenses, payment of lenders dues and to safeguard the employee''s interest, unit is running on job work basis.

It is very difficult for the Company to overcome the losses promptly in this challenging scenario where labour cost and other costs are increasing at a rapid rate but still Company is in process of reviewing its objectives and tools to find a better way ahead to increase its turnover, reduce its costs and achieve a higher value addition so that it come out with the positive result in the near future.

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

Amit Spinning Industries Ltd. (ASIL) being a cotton yarn manufacturer has only one business segment. On the basis of geographical categorization of market, ASIL identified two segments i.e. exports and domestic.

During the year under review, Company has manufactured 5123.08 MT of yarn on job work basis against the 4983.01 MT of yarn in the previous year on job work basis.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ADEQUACY

The Company has established adequate internal control systems, commensurate with its size and nature of business and such systems are periodically audited, verified and reviewed for their validity, considering the changing business scenario from time to time, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems and suggests improvement for strengthening them from time to time.

MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION ON OPPORTUNITIES, RISKS, CONCERN & OUTLOOK

Rebounding of economic growth in key export destinations, the Indian Textile Industry is reasonably expected to bounce back its margins from negative to stable. Indian Yarn manufacturers are further likely to be benefited in the Fiscal 2014-15 due to decreased yarn exports from China and simultaneous increase in demand for its exports in overseas market and as well as in domestic market, which will in turn improve the fortunes of textile sector.

Further, Government has approved a debt restructuring package to help loss making textile mills which is to be administered on case by case basis by the banks in accordance with the prudential norms of the Reserve Bank of India. Also, BIFR''s reliefs / concessions etc. to be given to units / companies on the revival packages will prove beneficial for Sick Companies like Amit Spinning Industries Limited.

Devaluation of Indian Rupee has continued to offer an opportunity of short term benefit to Textile Industry to optimize its day to day sales volumes and margins, by increased exports. Continued subsidy benefits under the revised TUF scheme, focus market scheme and reinstating of export incentives, are further likely to help Amit Spinning to improve its margins.

As per the latest official figure, while total industrial production contracted to 0.21% in Apr-Nov''2013, Textile sector output rose to 3.7%. To encourage exports including export of processed clothes, incentives are available under the Foreign Trade Policy namely Interest subvention scheme, Market Access Initiative (MAI), Market Development Assistance(MDA)Schemes and Focus Market & Focus Product Schemes. The Ministry of Textiles has adopted four pronged strategy for Textiles exports namely to organize and support larger textiles trade shows, skill development initiatives, compliance programes and duty drawback schemes. A provision of Rs.500 crore has been made in the 12th plan for introducing a scheme for Integrated Processing Development.

The factors like formation of Stable Government, increase in demand of cotton yarn in domestic market and talk of economic reforms of new Government, have already improved market sentiments and the same is showing some recovery signs and further with the support of company bankers, your directors believe that sales volumes are reasonably expected to be increased and consequently margins are also expected to be strengthened in due course.

HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

The Company and its management value the talent, commitment and dedication of its employees and acknowledge their contribution. Consequently, the employee turnover is negligible. Everyone in the Company is working as a team and is an integral part of a family, sharing their ideas through Town Hall meeting, using intranet across the units and are instrumental in making your Company, a globally admired company. Management of your Company believes that it is the integration of human resources and business strategy that has culminated in its success. High performance orientation is the pivot of the HR philosophy of the Company and all the HR policies and strategies are centered on the same.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Global economy has shown slight recovery after the steep slowdown since 2008. The global economy is expected to grow by 4.2% in 2010 and projected to maintain growth in the coming years also. However the economy growth is depending upon demand in America and European Countries whose economy is showing convincing revival. There was tremendous relief to Indian industries over rescue packages introduced by the Indian government, the exports since November, 2009 showing sustainable recovery in spite of inflation, currency appreciation and uncertainty over sub normal monsoon.

The Indian Textile Industry plays very important role in our Countrys Economy and earliest to come into existence in India, it accounts for 14 per cent of the total industrial production, contributes to nearly 12 per cent of the total exports and is the second largest employment generator after agriculture providing employment of 35 million people. The Indian textile industry is one of the largest in the world with a massive raw material and textile-manufacturing base and also currently India has the second highest spindleage in the world after China. Indian economy is largely dependent on the textile manufacturing and trade in addition to other major industries about 30 per cent of the exchange earning are on account of export of textiles and clothing alone.

Demand in America and European countries and in domestic market, the yarn production expecting to grow utpo 8% in 2011 in Indian Economy. However, increase in input prices, rupee appreciation and withdrawal of refund on export cotton yarn may give negative impact on growth of textile exports.

Amit has utilized the opportunity offered by the global recession for introspection to identify areas of improvement. It is a great satisfaction that such initiatives have paid us more and strengthened the company accordingly expecting such events in future also. Amit is expecting bright future for Indian textile industry.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW :

Fiscal 2009-10 witnessed a significant improvement to increase in sales volume. The management with help of banks provided surplus cash flow for purchase of raw cotton, the Company has achieved impressive results, the turnover has been increased from Rs. 3444.52 lakhs to Rs. 7297.27 lakhs which reflects an growth of 111.85%

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

Amit Spinning Industries Ltd. (ASIL) being a cotton yarn manufacturer has only one business segment. On the basis of geographical categorization of market, ASIL identified two segments i.e. exports and domestic.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ADEQUACY

The Company has established adequate internal control systems, commensurate with its size and nature of business and such systems are periodically audited, verified and reviewed for their validity, considering the changing business scenario from time to time. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems and suggests improvement for strengthening them from time to time.

MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION ON OPPORTUNITIES, RISKS, CONCERN & OUTLOOK

India has rich resources of raw materials of textile industry and is one of the largest producers of cotton in the world. India is highly competitive in spinning sector and has presence in almost all processes of the value chain. In the recent past the Government also from time to time announces various policy measures to boost growth of the textile industry, The Indian textile industry is expected to pick-up and saw a strong growth in 2010. Moreover China themselves admit that their industry has lost the competitive edge in the last one year. With the rising demands from US and EU markets, the Indian Textile Industry have better prospects in the coming years.

Indian textile industry is highly fragmented in industry structure, and is led by small scale companies. The reservation of production for very small companies that was imposed with the intention to help out small scale companies across the country, led substantial fragmentation that distorted the competitiveness of industry. Smaller companies do not have the fiscal resources to enhance technology or invest in the high- end engineering of processes. Hence they lose in productivity. Despite various stimulus packages introduced by the Government, the textile industry has lost the competitive edge in the past one year with petroleum products & labour became costly, ultimately affecting the margins of the Indian textile industry which is also major concern for the growth of the industry.

The outlook for textile industry in India is very optimistic. It is expected that Indian textile industry would continue to grow at an impressive rate. Textile industry is being modernized by an exclusive scheme, which has set aside $5bn for investment in improvisation of machinery. India can also grab opportunities in the export market. The textile industry is anticipated to generate 12mn new jobs in various sectors more comfortability, the management is in process to extend its operations in Technical Textile to play role in both domestic as well as export market.
