REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Spinning sector which recovered in 2010-11 after two years of
recession and adverse working was plunged again into a crisis. During
the financial year under review, Sales turnover was Rs.7840.32 Lacs as
against Rs.7936.03 Lacs in the previous due to decrease in Yam
production and reduction in prices. Due to power cuts and frequent
power interruptions during this year, the yarn production decreased to
31.87 Lacs Kgs as against 38.77 Lacs Kgs. in last year. The mill has
produced Knitted fabrics of 17.72 Lacs Kgs. as against 17.04 Lacs Kgs.
in last year. The windmills generated 83.99 Lacs units (net) of wind
electricity as against 84.62 Lacs units in the previous year. The Wind
electricity was captively consumed by use in the Textile Mill.
OUTLOOK FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Due to steep decrease in Cotton prices and poor demand for Yarn &
fabrics sales on account of closure of dyeing units in Urupur due to
Pollution Control Problem, the off take of finished products slackened.
Though the crisis is prevailing in the textile market, the company has
earned profit during the fourth quarter of this year. More- over your
Company has been pursuing cost reduction and efficiency improvements in
productions and hence, it is optimistic to perform still better in the
coming years.

the credit balance in the Profit and Loss account stood at Rs. 729.75
Lacs (Rs. 1220.95 Lacs, credit balance in the previous year). The
Liability for interest free sales Tax deferred credit stood at
Rs.338.29 Lacs. (Rs. 437.17 Lacs). The Company met all financial
commitments to the Bankers on account of Term Loan and Working
