The Company has achieved production of 31136 MT and sale of 29838 MT Acrylic Fibre during the year under review as against 36121 MT and 36076 MT respectively during the previous year. The Sale and other incomes during the year were Rs. 55117 lacs as against Rs. 63113 Lacs.

Acrylic Fibre demand was variable, while export demand remained strong, the domestic demand suffered due to substantial increase in dumping of Acrylic Fibre.

Due to decline in overall sales, Gross profit before interest, depreciation and tax (GPBIDT) during the current year is also lower. The GPBIDT for the year under review is Rs. 679 Lacs as against Rs. 4515 Lacs during the previous year. The expenditure on interest and financial charges, are lower at Rs.1587 Lacs as compared to Rs. 2387 Lacs in previous year. After providing for depreciation, the Company suffered a loss of Rs.1755 Lacs. After Accounting for an exceptional income of Rs. 257 Lacs mainly on account of claim awarded to the Company for the land acquired by the government for national highway, the Company incurred a net loss during the year of '.1498 Lacs compared to net profit of '. 1132 Lacs during the previous year.

RESERVES

During the year, Company has exited from CDR system. In order to settle the recompense amount paid to the banks, Company has written back a sum of Rs.406.75 lac from Capital Reserves leaving a balance of '.1764.44 lacs.

Out of this, work on 6600 Spindles has since been completed and production started during the year (2014-15). Work on remaining spindles is going on and will be completed in 2015-16.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Significant new capacities of Acrylonitrile (main raw material) manufacturing have started commercial production in the Asian Region (China) during the year 2014-15, thereby balancing its availability. On the other hand some capacities of Acrylic fibre have been closed permanently in the Middle East (Egypt) recently. With dollar appreciating and this Acrylic Fibre Capacity closure in Egypt recently, our export to Middle East markets will gain advantage. The shifting of Acrylonitrile manufacturing from USA/European Union region to Asia will be continuing during this year (2015-16) also. These changes will be good for steady growth of Acrylic fibre Industry in this area.

Forum of Acrylic Fibre has taken up the issue of continuation of anti dumping duty with the Government on certain countries which are doing large scale dumping of fibre in Indian market and thus causing severe injury to the domestic industry. This is under consideration of the Govt. Authorities and shall help in saving domestic Industry from the adverse impact of dumping Softening of the commodity prices, alongwith above changes in the Industry structure will be good for improving the margins in Acrylic Fibre business.

Requisite infrastructure for the project, including captive power is already available resulting into economies in capital as well production costs.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

With addition of new capacities in Acrylonitrile Industry, prices of Acrylonitrile have remained soft during the year. Because of this, recently a large producer of Acrylonitrile has announced cut back of capacities. Such instances are likely to limit availability of Acrylonitrile in the spot market and may push prices a little. However, overall supply condition looks easy.

The shifting of Acrylonitrile manufacturing from USA/European Union region to Asia will be continuing during next two-three years. These changes will be good for steady growth of Acrylic fibre Industry in this region.

Softening of The commodity prices, alongwith above changes in the Industry structure will be good for improving the margins in Acrylic Fibre business.

The Company has recorded production of 20683 MT and sale of 21885 MT during the year under review as against 27912 MT and 29727 MT respectively during the previous year. The Sale and other incomes during the year were Rs.. 38754 lacs as against Rs.. 50073 lacs due to decrease in export sales. Export demand for Acrylic Fibre was sluggish due to economic slowdown in major economies.

Despite decrease in overall sales, Gross profit before interest, depreciation interest and tax (GPBIDT) during the current year is higher. The GPBIDT for the year under review is Rs.. 2170 Lacs as against Rs..1460 Lacs during the previous year. The expenditure on interest and financial charges, however, are higher at Rs.. 1903 Lacs as compared to Rs..1253 Lacs due to higher interest rates and increase in forex premiums due to more volatility in currency. After providing for depreciation, the

Company suffered a loss of Rs.. 381 Lacs. However, due to an exceptional income of Rs.. 814 Lacs owing to favourable decision on Company''s claim in the court in a long pending arbitration matter with the equipment/technology supplier, the Company earned a net profit during the year of Rs.. 417 Lacs compared to that of Rs.. 32 Lacs during the previous year.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company has an In-House R & D centre registered with the Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. The registration of the R & D Centre was renewed with the Ministry during the year 2011-12 with a validity upto 31.03.2014.

During the current year, the Company has been able to make significant improvements in its new product varieties and overall productivity and has achieved reduction in waste. R & D Centre introduced new products like soft feel Tow for better running in subsequent processes and for better yarn feel, Super soft feel fiber (IA-86) for the substitute of imported soft feel fiber and Bright Acrylic fiber Type IA15 in the staple cut length form. Research & Development work to introduce new value added products are under way. Some of these products are likely to be commercially launched in the current financial year. R & D Center is focusing on reverse engineering of end products like fabrics and yarns available in international and domestic markets to develop value added Acrylic Fibre to be produced in future.

Work is also in progress to launch new product varieties in dyed fiber and standardizing the dyed fiber properties for new varieties.

The Company has also been able to work on series of energy conservation measures such as replacement and installation of energy efficient pumps in water treatment plant in Utility section. Company is also in the process of converting boilers to multi fuel boilers. For improving environmental conditions the Company had installed Acoustic chamber in DG house and is in the process of installing STP plant. Efforts are also on to develop end use of Rice Husk ash which is a waste product while producing steam and power.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Significant new capacities of Acrylonitrile (main ramaterial) manufacturing have started commercial production in the Asian Region during the year 2012-13. On the other hand some more capacities of Acrylic fibre have been closed permanently in the European Union recently. Thus our export to Middle East markets is likely to become more viable.

The shifting of Acrylonitrile manufacturing from USA/European Union region to Asia will be continuing during next two-three years. These changes will be good for steady growth of Acrylic fibre Industry in this area.

Softening of the commodity prices, alongwith above changes in the Industry structure will be good for improving the margins in Acrylic Fibre business.

Production of Acrylic Fibre increased from 27014 MT during the previous year to 27912 MT during the year under consideration. Sale of Acrylic Fibre also increased from 24147 MT to 29727 Mt, posting a strong growth of 23%. Company has also been able to increase the sale of traded goods from 2681 MT to 3805 MT. Overall sales have increased from Rs. 408 Crore in previous year to Rs. 500 Crore during the current year.

However, while 2010-11 was a good year for Acrylic Fibre Industry, the global turmoil caused by wide fluctuations in prices of textile products has affected the entire Textile Industry chain during the year. The prices of raw materials, fuel, energy and transportation cost increased sharply squeezing the gross margins thereof.

Beside, the prices of ACN have been on a roller coster throughout the year. Dumping of Fibre has also affected the local industry adversely. Due to above, gross profit which was Rs. 5220 Lacs in the previous year decreased to Rs.1460 Lacs during the current year.

The Company earned a Net profit of Rs. 207 Lacs before depreciation and extra ordinary items. There is a write back of Rs. 786 Lacs on account of excess interest provision reversed after settlement of dues of IDBI under OTS, which is shown as extra ordinary items in the Profit & Loss A/c. Net Profit after depreciation, extra ordinary items and tax has been Rs. 32 Lacs as compared to Rs.36 Lacs during the previous year.

The Company received the following awards/ recognitions during the year:

1. Certificate of Registration of Social Accountability System - SA 8000:2008 for Manufacture and supply of Acrylic Fiber.

2. "Export Award" by the Synthetic & Rayon Textile Export Promotion Council (SRTEPC) for Highest Export Performance in Acrylic Staple Fibre.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company has an In-House R & D Centre registered with the Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. Its validity has been further renewed up to 31.03.2014.

Research and Development work to introduce new varieties of fibre is continuously underway and some more new product varieties are likely to start commercially during the year 2012-13.

Efforts are being made to increase the production of dyed tops and dyed staple fibre which are value added products. Company has also undertaken a project to increase the productivity of Tow to Tops manufacturing and to reduce its overall energy cost. Your Directors are confident to achieve further cost reduction and improve capacity utilization to improve the performance.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Global production of Acrylic Fibre has increased by 4% during this year and same is estimated to grow by 1% or 2% in the next year also.

Your Company has been able to increase exports of fibre by 4287 MT (57%) in the year under consideration. With the strong presence in various export markets of Far East, Middle East countries and opening up of market by Pakistan recently to Indian Exports, your Directors are confident to increase its market share further.

Raw Material availability scenario is also improving with the start up of new Acrylonitrile Capacities in Asian Region. Prices of Acrylonitrile are expected to follow a stable trend in the medium term with the crude oil prices stablising in the International market. This will help in improving the domestic sale as well as margins in the coming year.

Efforts are also being made further to cut the cost by using new technologies available for conservation of power, process improvements etc. and by increasing production of value added products. FINANCIAL STATUS

The issued and subscribed capital of the company increased from Rs.13132.21 lacs to Rs.13532.21 lacs during the year under review. The Company has allotted additional 40,00,000 equity shares of Rs.10/- each at par to IDBI Bank Ltd. during the year in terms of OTS scheme.

The year 2009 would be marked as an important year for the Acrylic Fibre Industry. When the year began, major world economies were in recession. Acrylic Fibre Industry faced the prospect of a substantial contraction in consumption with no sign of recovery in the demand. However, the forecast were belied - demand was robust, acrylic fibre plants achieved higher capacity utilization and market prices started improving. With raw material prices remaining subdued, most acrylic fibre producers were able to record good performance and substantial jump in the margins.

Production during the year 2009-10 increased from 28005 MT to 36636 MT. The sales also increased from 28197 MT to 36611 MT. Better sale volumes were achieved by pushing Exports from 2474 MT in the last year to 10977 MT during the current year. The sale of acrylic yarn however was lower as Company does not have its own manufacturing facility and sufficient capacity was not available in the market for making acrylic yarn.

As against Rs.7362 lacs of net loss before tax, prior period adjustments & extraordinary items in the previous year, the Company has earned a net profit of Rs. 3241 Lacs during the year. There is an additional depreciation charge of Rs. 472 Lacs during the year consequent to change of method of charging depreciation from straight line method to written down value method in respect of a part of the plant and machinery due to technological changes & obsolescence. The net profit after tax for the year is Rs.3208 Lacs as against a net loss of Rs. 4130 Lacs in the previous year.

Due to heavy carried over losses suffered by the Company in the previous year, Company has requested for restructuring of the loans and the same is pending for approval under the CDR mechanism.

The raw material prices have increased sharpiy during last quarter putting pressure on finished product prices. The loss of gross margin caused by high raw material prices will be partially off-set by sale of power recently started by the Company under "Open-Access" scheme and lowering of cost of production due to energy conservation measures being taken. The revenues from sale of power are increasing. Efforts are also being made further to cut the cost by using new technologies available for conservation of power, process improvements etc.

The Company received the following awards/ recognitions during the year:

1. Certificate of Registration of Quality Management System - ISO 9001:2008 for Manufacture and supply of Dry Spun Acrylic Fiber, Dry Spun Acrylic Tow (Grey and Dyed) and Dry Spun Acrylic Tops (Grey and Dyed)

2. Recognition as "Export Trading House" by Government of India Ministry of Commerce & Industry for a period of five years effective from 1st April 2009 to 31st March 2014.

3. Certificate for "OeKo-Tex Standard 100" from M/s HOHENSTEIN TEXTILE TESTING INSTITUTE Germany certifying acrylic fibres made by the company free from any haimful substances and meet the human-ecological requirements of the standard presently established for baby articles.
