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. Directors

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

integration of human resources and business strategy that has
culminated in its success. High performance orientation is the pivot of

Directors' view on Auditors observations
Directors' response to the various observations of the auditors even
though explained wherever necessary through appropriate notes to
accounts, is reproduced hereunder in compliance with the relevant legal
requirements.
1. Schoeller Litvinov k.s (SLKS), a fellow subsidiary of the Company,
had registered losses during the year and earlier financial years due
to economic slowdown. This fellow subsidiary had submitted a
re-organization plan dated 13-11-2009, seeking deferment of payment to
Secured Creditors, and proportionate waiver of unsecured liabilities
which has now been approved by the court. The Company believes that the
reorganization plan, considering improvement in the global textile
market, will turn around this subsidiary, so as to make good its losses
in a foreseeable period of time and will also place this subsidiary in
a position to repay the liabilities in due course. Accounts and other
receivables amounting to Rs. 6,01,84,142 are due from SLKS as at March
31, 2011. Accordingly, provision against these Accounts and other
receivables is not considered necessary at this stage.
In view of developments company believes in future with the financial
viability of SLKS such amounts would be realized within a reasonable
period of time.
2. The Loans and Advances of the Company include a sum of
Rs.1,93,46,572, being an amount receivable from Customs Department as
drawbacks against the export sale pertaining to the period 1993 to
September, 2004 when the unit was 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU). The
company has filed an application with the office of DGFT for the claim
and on the basis of legal advise obtained, is sanguine of receiving the
claim. In view of recent Government gazette notification restoring
duty draw back , tax refunds on cotton yarn exports are expected to be
realized in due course.
3. As on March 31, 2011, the accumulated losses of the Company have
exceeded its net worth. In the opinion of the management, the Company's
operations are affected by global business downturn which has resulted
in reduction in demand, increase in input costs and shortage of working
capital. The Company has also filed a reference with Board for
Industrial and Financial Restructuring (BIFR) under section 23(1) of
Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. However,
based on recent performance and trends of the company and overall
industry outlook, there is an increase in average selling prices of
yarn, stability in production levels and reduction in procurement costs
of raw materials. The company has started earning cash profits and the
management believes that losses incurred in past would be made good.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on
the strength of management's plan of revival including reorganization
of business and restructuring of loan facilities under Corporate Debt
Restructuring scheme.
in view of current physical turnover, management believes to improve
the company's performance such as introducing various cost measures and
reorganization of business and restructuring of loan facilities.

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.
HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
It is needless to state that the success of an organization mainly
depends on the human capital employed by them. The Company strives to
provide opportunities and an environment, coupled with education and
training to its employees enabling them to contribute to their fullest
extent and develop their career with the growth of the organization.
