REVIEW OF KEY BUSINESS MATTERS

Following positive government policies for growth and governance, India''s overall economic prospects are on a recovery path. But domestic demand conditions have not fully recovered. Capacity utilization across many industries is sub-optimal and private business is still constrained and hesitant about fresh investments. Challenges to economic prospects include possible rise in oil prices, uncertain monsoons, debt overhang in businesses, and slow revival of customer confidence.

The markets for the Company''s products also suffered indifferent demand. Competition from synthetic and cotton fabrics and cheaper supplies from China worked to influence customer preferences. A marked shift to ready mades is also impacting overall superior fabric demand at home. In addition, domestic sales were hit on account of deficient monsoon and exports dragged due to weak conditions in global markets. The Company achieved lower than expected sales volume at 26.4 lac metres (annualized: 35.2 lac metres) translating into operational revenue of Rs. 94.7 crores in 9 months (annualized: Rs.126.3 Crores). The Company continues to expend considerable management energy on marketing, improving operations and managing liquidity.
