Dear Members,

The Directors submit this 31st Annual Report together with the Audited Accounts for the year ended

31st March, 2015.

1. FINANCIAL RESULTS

The performance of the Company during the year under review is summarized in the following statement:

Rs. in Lacs

2014-15 2013-14

Revenue from operations 28600.93 28485.84

GROSS PROFIT/(LOSS) BEFORE INTEREST & FINANCE CHARGES, TAX AND DEPRECIATION 928.60 1274.80

Interest & Financial Charges 797.08 574.94

Depreciation 567.15 387.79

PROFIT / (LOSS) BEFORE EXCEPTIONAL & EXTRA ORDINARY ITEMS & TAX I I (435.63) 312.07

Extra Ordinary Item Profit / (21.24) (5.50) (Loss) on sale of fixed assets / investment

PROFIT / (LOSS) BEFORE TAX (456.87) 306.57

Provision for Taxation (including 13.99 5.41 deferred tax)

PROFIT / (LOSS) FOR THE YEAR (470.86) 301.16

2. STATE OF AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY

While the revenue from operations during the year 2014-15 was marginally higher than the same in the previous year the Company incurred net loss of Rs.470.86 lacs in the year 2014-15 as against net profit of Rs.301.16 lacs earned in the year 2013-14 for the following reasons.

a. The company is engaged in the manufacture of HDPE / PP bags and price of its raw material i.e. plastic granules is affected by fluctuations in prices of crude oil and dollar. During the previous year 2014-15 particularly during October to December quarter there was steep fall in crude oil prices and consequently domestic prices of the company's raw material had also fallen sharply and as a result thereof the company has incurred substantial losses during 3rd quarter of the year 2014-15. Company's inventory holding level generally remains high due to nature of its product and the overall stock from raw materials to finished goods which comprises Granules, Tape, Fabric, Cut Pieces, Bags (stitched and unstitched) and Ready bags on an average remains at the high level and it is required to be maintained at such level to manage production cycle. So if there is steep fall in prices then there will be substantial loss in the value of stock held by the Company. The Company lost about Rs.600/- lacs during 3rd quarter of the year 2014-15 merely on stock holding. Further in the falling prices scenario, the falling prices of raw materials impacts sales price also and it so happened that the Company was forced to sell its products at a price lower than its cost to its regular high profile clients just to stay in competition. So this is the reason for losses in the 3rd quarter of the year 2014-15. In fact, the company reported net profit during the remaining three quarters of the year 2014-15.

b. Increase in interest cost due to term loan availed by the company and increase in provision for depreciation due to capex under its expansion cum modernization programme have also put pressure on the bottom-line of the Company.

The Company expects better performance during the year 2015-16

3. MATERIAL CHANGES DURING THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW

EQUITY DIVIDEND

With a view to conserving resources for future expansion cum modernization facilities, your directors do not recommend dividend on Equity Shares for the year 2013-14

EXPANSION & MODERNISATION

Encouraged by the current demand for the Company''s product and keeping in mind the benefits available under the TUF Schemes of both Central Government and the State Government the Company has identified the areas for further expansion and modernization of its existing production facilities. The company has also decided to diversify into value added products, which will help in increasing its competitive strength in the market.

At present, the company''s woven sacks division (HDPE Division) is supplying mainly to Cement Industry. During last four years, the company has developed its capabilities for Sugar Industry and Food grain Industry. In fact, it is one of the few companies that has successfully completed all government orders for food grain supply. After being well established in these industries, the company plans on diversifing into value added products. The two new product lines it plans to add are BOPP bags and AD star bags.

BOPPBAGS

BOPP bags are widely used today in retail packaging of 10-25 kg packs of rice, chakki atta, maida, besan, sugar, seed, fertilisers, cement putty and other premium products. Retail is exploding and the BOPP bag market is rapidly growing because of the importance of branding and need of asthetically appealing packaging. The company would like to exploit this opportunity in this time of growth.

AD STAR

AD star bags is the standard packing used for cement throughout the world, and this trend is slowly seeping into India. Currently, these bags were being imported. Being a leader in the cement industry, it is imperitive for the company to enter this market in its initial stage. These machines will be imported from Austria. Two of our major clients, Holcim and Ultratech have already started using these bags in large quantities.

AUTOMATION

We have added Valvomatic machines, which will cut down labour costs to almost half and increase the quality of our finished products. This Valvomatic bag making machines acquired by the company from Lohia Corp Ltd., where the first of its kind in the world. It removes all manual process for making bag from fabric. Historically, bag making is a very labour intensive process and the Company has faced a lot of labour issues. We are aiming to eradicate this.

Moreover, without increasing too much capacity in this expansion project, the company is moving to higher levels of automation. Through its diversification and modernization programme, the company is trying to enter a niche market with premium, higher margin products along with its existing product line.

The company has spent Rs. 1649.22 lakhs on addition to factory shed, plant and machinery ( under expansion and modernization) and electric installation during the year under review.

CONSUMPTION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNING AND OUTGO
