REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the spinning unit produced 10763.93 tonnes (12341.51 tonnes) of yarn, of which 591.10 tonnes (2772.85 tonnes) was used to produce knitted fabrics. The spinning unit sold 10180.08 tonnes (9722.74 tonnes) of yarn and out of which exports accounted for 1964.61 tonnes (2399.30 tonnes) and knitted fabrics 612.91 tonnes (2692.03 tonnes). Further, during the year under review, the Company sold 3226.80 tonnes (3730.17 tonnes) of waste cotton of which exports accounted for 711.56 tonnes (770.20 tonnes).
The Wind Mills, with aggregate installed capacity of 18.145 MW generated 230.87 lakh units of Wind Electricity as against 277.68 lakh units in the last year. The entire power generated by Wind Mills was utilized for captive consumption at the textile mills.
The performance of the Spinning Unit in terms of profitability was affected by steep fall in prices of yarn due to supply/demand mismatch. However wind power generation helped the Company''s profitability. The Company''s Technical Textile divisions viz. Coating, Lamination and Processing and Garments have picked up their operations and have contributed to the overall performance of the Company in a significant way. The Company which started supplying Home Textiles to M/s Ikea Distribution services during last year has improved its performance during the year. Moreover, the Company which obtained an order from the Ministry of Defence for supply of Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) suits shipped the consignment during the year. The overall sales turnover of the Company from all divisions aggregated to Rs.35551.51 Lakhs (Rs.37529.97 Lakhs) of which exports including merchant exports amounted to Rs.7301.75 Lakhs (Rs.7697.47 Lakhs), the exports contributing 20.53% (20.51%) of the overall sales of the Company.
PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
With domestic demand likely to pick up due to improvement in economic conditions and export demand likely to pick up upon resumption of import of yarn and fabric by China, the prospects for the spinning units appear to be stable. The contribution from Windmills on overall performance of the textile mills is dependent on availability of wind of adequate velocity and during the current year TANGEDCO has committed to evacuate the wind power with minimum back out.
The contribution from Technical Textile products is likely to improve significantly in the coming years. The Processing, Bag and Garments divisions are also expected to contribute to the overall earnings and profits of the Company in the ensuing years.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the textile spinning units together in
aggregate produced 18756.53 tonnes (18858.80 tonnes) of yarn, of which
2382.88 tonnes (834.40 tonnes) was used to produce knitted fabrics. The
textile spinning units, in aggregate sold 16123.67 tonnes (17853.59
tonnes) of yarn and 2369.50 tonnes (846.04 tonnes) as knitted fabrics.
Further, during the year under review, the Company sold 5362.98 tonnes
(5532.43 tonnes) of waste cotton, of which exports accounted for
1005.15 tonnes (973.40 tonnes).
The Wind Mills, with aggregate installed capacity of 28.795 MW
generated 364.21 lakh units of Wind Electricity as against 417.99 lakh
units in the last year. The entire power generation by Wind Mills was
utilized for captive consumption at the textile mills. As in the
previous year, generation from windmills was severely affected due to
nonevacuation of Wind power by TANGEDCO during the current year also,
resulting in loss of generation of about 56.56 lakh units (101.29 lakh
units), depressing the revenue and profits by about Rs. 359.15 lakhs
(Rs. 557.07 lakhs).
Your Directors report that the financial performance of the Spinning
Units during the year were affected by volatility in prices of cotton
and finished products. The prices of cotton witnessed a down trend from
July' 2014 onwards, while the Yarn prices also reacted downward keeping
pace with the current prices of cotton. Consequently the yarn and
fabric produced by the spinning units out of high priced cotton was
sold at reduced prices thereby impacting the Profitability which was
felt in the second and third quarters of the financial year.
While the restriction and control measures of Tamil Nadu Generation and
Distribution Company Limited (TANGEDCO) continued, TANGEDCO failed to
evacuate the power generated by the windmills. In spite of the
difficulties encountered as narrated above, the Company could achieve
maximum utilization and productivity without curtailing the production
in the Spinning Units.
The Company's initiatives on technical textile products such as coated
and laminated fabrics, intended for use in the field of defence,
medical and other industrial applications has started yielding results.
The operations of the processing unit at SIPCOT, Perundurai established
in the financial year 2012-13 is yet to stabilise.
The overall sales turnover of the Company from all divisions aggregated
to Rs. 45745.71 Lakhs (Rs. 49244.10 Lakhs) of which exports amounted to
Rs. 9248.26 Lakhs (Rs. 13536.27 Lakhs), the exports contributing 20.22%
(27.49%) of the overall sales of the Company.
PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
With domestic demand likely to pick up due to improvement in economic
conditions, the prospects for the spinning units appear to be stable.
The contribution from Windmills on overall performance of the textile
mills is dependent on availability of Wind of adequate velocity and
arrangements by TANGEDCO for evacuation of wind power.
The contribution from Technical Textile products is likely to improve
significantly in the coming years. The processing division is also
likely to improve its contribution for earnings of the company, in the
years ahead. As part of diversification, the Company has started a Bag
unit for manufacture of branded travel and school bags, which has large
growing demand.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the textile spinning units together in
aggregate produced 18858.80 tonnes (17068.66 tonnes) of yarn, of which
834.40 tonnes (3433.07 tonnes) was used to produce knitted fabrics. The
textile spinning units, in aggregate sold 17853.59 tonnes (13923.87
tonnes) of yarn and 846.04 tonnes (3456.94 tonnes) as knitted fabrics.
Further, during the year under review, the Company exported waste
cotton for 973.40 tonnes (1118.37 tonnes).
The Wind Mills, with an installed capacity of 28.795 MW generated
417.99 lakh units of Wind Electricity as against 476.80 lakh units in
the last year. The entire power generation by Wind Mills was utilized
for captive consumption at the textile mills. During the year,
generation from windmills was severely affected due to non evacuation
of Wind power by TANGEDCO resulting in loss of generation of about
101.29 Lakh units, depressing the revenue and profits by about 1557.07
Lakhs.
Your Directors report that the performance of the textile spinning
units during the year was satisfactory as there was stability in Cotton
(raw material) and Yarn prices for most part of the year. The emphasis
is to produce more value added Yarn by installing Compact systems/Slub
attachments for which investments are being made. The restriction and
control measures of Tamil Nadu Electricity Generation and Distribution
Company (TANGEDCO) continued in the year under review. However the
Company could achieve maximum utilization and productivity, by making
alternate arrangements of procuring private power.
The Company also focused more on production of technical textile
products such as coated and laminated fabrics, intended for use in the
field of defence, medical and other industrial applications, as its
core area. In order to move up the value chain, the Company established
a processing unit at SIPCOT, Perundurai in the financial year 2012-13,
to carry out dyeing/printing operations. The overall sales turnover of
the Company from all divisions aggregated to ^49244.10 Lakhs (*41139.32
Lakhs) of which exports amounted to *13536.27 Lakhs (Rs.9318.74 Lakhs),
the exports contributing 27.49% ( 22.65%) of the overall sales of the
Company.
PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2013-14
With moderation in cotton prices and stable demand for yarn in both
domestic and export markets with adequate velocity, the prospect for
spinning units may continue to be satisfactory. The contribution from
Windmills on overall performance of the textile mills is dependent on
availability of Wind of adequate velocity and arrangements by TANGEDCO
for evacuation of wind power.
The contribution from Technical Textile products will increase
significantly in the coming years and it is also expected that the
processing unit operations will stabilise in the years to come.

As at the close of the year, there were 37 public deposits involving an
amount ofRs.8.48 lakhs which remained unclaimed, pending receipt of
instructions from the deposit holders. Subsequently no claims were

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the textile mills produced in aggregate
17068.66 tonnes (13280.94 tonnes) of yarn and sold 13923.87 tonnes
(10194.43 tonnes) of yarn. The sales include 3830.83 tonnes (4317.22
tonnes) of yarn fetching Rs.7762.94 lakhs (Rs.8530.92 lakhs) by export,
including merchant export. During the year, the Company also exported
waste cotton to an extent of 1118.37 tonnes (1038.70 tonnes) fetching
Rs.857.61 lakhs (Rs.795.55 lakhs).
The knitting division with 41 knitting machines produced 3433.19 tonnes
of fabric (1355.56 tonnes) and sold 3456.94 tonnes (967.99 tonnes)
which included export of 324.74 tonnes (387.91 tonnes). The sales of
knitted fabrics amounted to Rs.7132.63 lakhs (Rs.2775.53 lakhs) which
included export sales of Rs.698.19 lakhs( Rs.824.98 lakhs). With lower
production and sales, the garment division yielded a turnover of
Rs.957.47 lakhs (Rs.1665.44 lakhs)
During the year, the Company also ventured into production and sales of
technical textile products, which yielded an aggregate revenue of
Rs.1557.68 (Rs.Nil) by sales from coated fabrics and laminated fabrics.
The Company also established a processing unit at SIPCOT, Perundurai,
to create captive source of dyeing and printing activities.
The overall sales of textile products amounted to Rs.41139.32 lakhs
(Rs.32506.34 lakhs).
Your Directors report that the performance of the textile spinning
units improved considerably as compared to the previous financial year.
The prices of cotton (raw material) remained stable during most part of
the year as a result of which there was stability in Yarn prices also.
The strategy of penetrating alternative markets viz. Corporate buyers,
new overseas buyers, woven segment etc in addition to our core market
for hosiery yarn helped the Company in improving the working results.
The Wind Mills, with an installed capacity of 28.795 produced 476.80
lakh units of Wind Electricity as against 419.03 lakh units generated
in the last year. The entire power generated by Wind Mills is utilized
for captive consumption.
The restriction and control measures of Tamil Nadu Electricity
Generation and Distribution Company (TANGEDCO) still continues. However
the Company has been able to achieve maximum utilization and
productivity by making alternate arrangements of procuring private
power although at higher cost resulting in increase in power cost
during the year.
Your Directors are glad to report that a Processing unit has been
commissioned at SIPCOT Perundurai for carrying out Dyeing/Printing
operations which is expected to contribute to the overall performance
of the Company in the coming years.
PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2013-14

moderation in cotton prices and stable demand for yarn in both domestic
and export markets. The performance of Windmills is dependent on
availability of Wind and infrastructure for evacuation of wind power by
TANGEDCO.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the textile mills produced 13280.94
tonnes (19066.18 tonnes) of yarn and sold 10194.43 tonnes (18516.40
tonnes) of yarn. The sales include 4317.22 tonnes (4031.09 tonnes)
amounting to Rs.8530.92 lakhs (Rs.8111.76 lakhs) by way of export of
yarn including Merchant Export. During the year, the Company exported
Waste Cotton to an extent of 1038.70 tonnes (1088.81 tonnes) amounting
to Rs.795.55 lakhs (Rs.487.70 Lakhs). The total sales of the Spinning
Division aggregated to Rs.30116.59 lakhs (Rs.37729.60 lakhs) of which
export sales including waste cotton export amounted to Rs.9326.47 lakhs
(Rs.8599.46 lakhs) constituting 30.96% (22.84%) of the total revenue.
The Knitting Division with 41 knitting machines produced 1355.56 tonnes
of fabric (2101.31 tonnes) and sold 967.99 tonnes (2054.87 tonnes)
including 387.91 tonnes (269.36 tonnes) by way of export. The Garment
Division produced 516288 pieces (423603 pieces) of Garments and
contributed revenue of Rs.1665.44 Lakhs (Rs.1571.41 Lakhs)
The Wind Mills, with an installed capacity of 28.795 produced 419.03
lakh units of Wind Electricity as against 436.78 lakh units (28.345 MW)
in the last year. Two Wind Mills with a capacity of 0.45 MW which were
under sale to Tamil Nadu Electricity Board category, has been shifted
to Captive use category during the course of the year, as a result of
which the entire power generation by Wind Mills is utilized for captive
consumption.
Your Directors report that the performance of the textile spinning
units was impacted seriously due to various adverse factors which
affected the textile industry. The prices of cotton (raw material)
witnessed a wild fluctuation in the cotton season 2010-11. Frequent
changes in the policies of the Central Government on yarn export and
also export of cotton, had adverse effect on price realized by sale of
yarn and also on the prices of raw materials. The severe economic
crisis and recession in the overseas market had adverse impact on
producers of garments, resulting in subdued demand for yarn in the
domestic market. Consequently the yarn and the fabric produced by the
textile units out of high priced cotton was sold at a loss during the
first six months of the financial year 2011-12. Even though the prices
of cotton decreased substantially, during the second half of the year,
the Company could not recover the losses in full.
The restriction and control measures of Tamil Nadu Electricity
Generation and Distribution Company (TANGEDCO) also caused disruption
in production, affecting the utilization and efficiency of spinning
production. The spinning units were to operate at a higher power cost
by purchase of power at a higher price from third party.
Hence the Textile Units incurred cash loss on account of reasons
described above. Inspite of cash loss suffered, the Company honoured
all financial commitments in time for servicing of term loans, by tight
control on working capital.
PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2012 - 2013
The Spinning units with an aggregate capacity of 89472 spindles have
reached optimum production level. The scope for increasing capacity
utilization in Knitting division is being explored to maximise profits
from the division. The Garmenting Division has stabilized the
operations and the volume of business is likely to further increase
during the current year.
Your Company started to make cash profits from the last quarter of the
financial year 2011-12 and continues to improve upon its performance in
the first quarter of 2012-13. With cotton prices expected to remain
subdued due to lower off take by spinning units all over the world, the
Company will be able to make reasonable profits in the ensuing period.
However the prospects of the textile industry depends upon revival of
the economy and demand from garment making units both in the domestic
and export market, which will step up the demand for cotton yarn
produced by spinning units. Steps have been taken by your Company to
ensure that the spinning units are insulated from supply constraints of
TANGEDCO to supply electricity. Further steps are being explored to
produce value added yarn and fabrics.
PUBLIC DEPOSITS
As at the close of the year, there were 50 public deposits involving an
amount of Rs.12.06 lakhs remained unclaimed pending receipt of
instructions from the deposit holders. Subsequently 2 deposits
involving an amount of Rs.0.37 lakhs have been repaid or renewed as per
claims received from the deposit holders. As on date 48 deposits
involving an amount of Rs.11.69 lakhs still remain unclaimed for which
regular follow up is being made to obtain instructions from the deposit
holders for repayment. As a policy no fresh Public deposits are
accepted and no renewals are made.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Your Directors report that though the Companys performance in terms of
production and sales of Cotton Yarn and Fabric has improved
considerably, there is only a marginal increase in net profit for the
year due to higher outlay for Power cost, Interest on loans and
Depreciation charge on account of commissioning of new Spinning Unit.
Division wise review of performance of the Company is furnished below:
Textile Division
The textile mills produced 12574.49 tonnes (6143.78 tonnes) of yarn and
sold 12665.36 tonnes (7064.92 tonnes) of yarn. The sales include
2063.83 tonnes (1845.87 tonnes) by way of export including Merchant
Export. During the year, the Company has exported Waste Cotton also to
an extent of 822.38 tonnes (Nil) amounting to Rs.444.58 lakhs (Nil).
The total sales of the Spinning division aggregated to Rs.17935.41
lakhs (Rs.9317.98 lakhs) of which export sales including waste cotton
export amounted to Rs.3152.29 lakhs (Rs.2085.70 lakhs) constituting
17.58% of the total revenue.
The profits of the Textile units were affected for a major part of the
year due to increase in cotton prices, increase in power cost and
frequent shut down measures imposed by TNEB and increase in other
operating costs. The adverse impact of the above increase in costs was
to some extent offset by increase in Yarn prices witnessed in the last
quarter of the financial year. Moreover the installation of expanded
spinning capacity of 50,400 spindles at Unit-II was completed only in
the last quarter. Hence profitability from the textile division did not
improve significantly during the current year, in tune with increase in
turnover.
The capacity of the knitting division was increased by the addition of
22 knitting machines which helped in value addition. During the year
the knitting division produced 1668.42 tonnes of fabric (128.09 tonnes)
and sold 1667.78 tonnes (128.09 tonnes) including 71.224 tonnes (Nil)
by way of export. The newly started garment division under the name
ÃYESWE CREATIONSÃ also contributed to the revenue with the value added
products.
Wind Mill Division
The Wind Mills, with an installed capacity of 16.795 MW, produced
246.18 lakh units of Wind Electricity as against 211.59 lakh units in
last year. At the beginning of the year, windmills with a capacity 3.15
MW were under captive use category out of the 16.795 MW capacity.
During the course of the year windmills with an aggregate capacity of
13.195 MW were also shifted to captive use category in stages. Hence,
Power sold to TNEB was lower at 110.25 lakh units (154.57 lakh units)
which reduced the sales revenue to Rs.303.20 lakhs (Rs.425.07 lakhs).
PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2010-2011
Textile Division
The Spinning unit I with 39072 spindles capacity has reached optimum
production level. The Unit II near Coimbatore has capacity of 50,400
spindles and is expected to reach optimum capacity utilisation from the
first quarter of 2010- 11 onwards. The Knitting division with capacity
to produce about 12 MT of knitted fabric is expected to contribute to
the overall improvement in performance of the Company. The Garmenting
division has also stabilized its operations. Hence, the full benefit of
the expanded capacity in spinning, knitting and garmenting will be
derived in the ensuing year. The improvement in demand for Textile
products in both domestic and export markets augurs well for the
Company.
In order to control the spiraling Cotton & Yarn prices, the Government
has suspended export of Cotton and Waste Cotton and also made
registration of export contract with the Office of the Textile
Commissioner mandatory in respect of cotton yarn. These measures are
expected to stabilize the Cotton and Yarn prices in the coming months.
Four Wind turbines with an aggregate capacity of 5.75MW to augment
windmill capacity further have been installed and will be operational
in the first quarter. The generation from the new windmills will be
captively consumed by the textile divisions improving the
profitability.
Windmill Division
The contribution of Windmills by way of revenue and profit will depend
upon favourable Wind conditions during the season and availability of
adequate Grid for transmission of Wind energy produced during peak
season.
JOINT VENTURE
Joint Venture for manufacture of branded Garments:
The Joint Venture Company namely, M/s.Bannari Amman Apparel Private
Limited, in which your Company alongwith its associate is holding 50%
interest in the Equity and representation in the Board, has implemented
a project for production of branded apparels near Chennai.
PUBLIC DEPOSITS
As at the close of the year, there were 85 public deposits involving an
amount of Rs.12.09 lakhs remained unclaimed pending receipt of
instructions from the deposit holders. Subsequently 18 deposits
involving an amount of Rs.5.42 lakhs have been repaid as per claims
received from the deposit holders. As on date 67 deposits involving an
amount of Rs.6.67 lakhs still remains unclaimed.
