MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
A. OVERALL REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
We are a composite textile sector company manufacturing woolen /
worsted suiting and machine clothing (felt). The Company manufactures
and markets high quality products under the brand name 'dinesh'. There
are few organized sector companies and many companies are in
un-organized sector and the Company has to face cut throat competition
in the domestic and international markets. During the year under
review, Sales Turnover has been increased to Rs. 8649 lacs from Rs.
8252 lacs but the Net Profit has been decreased to Rs. 501 lacs from
Rs.778 lacs as compared to the previous year mainly due to increase in
the raw material price, depreciation and other overheads.
During the year under review, the export of suiting has been decreased
to Rs. 310 lacs as compared to Rs. 397 lacs of the previous year due to
negative impact of the Euro Zone crisis on the purchasing power of the
Buyers in the western markets.
B. DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL
PERFORMANCE
Highlights
(Rs. in Lacs)
Particulars 2011-2012 2010-2011 % Change
1 Sales Turnover (Net) 8649 8252 5
2 Operating profit (PBDIT) 1933 2158 (10)
3 Depreciation 850 748 14
4 Interest 355 314 13
5 Profit before Tax 728 1096 (34)
6 Tax 227 318 (29)
7 Net Profit 501 778 (36)
C. OVERALL OUTLOOK
Due to adverse impact of the Euro Zone crisis on the developed and
developing countries, the slow down has also hit the global economy and
our economy as well which is evident from the nine years low GDP growth
under 7% during the year under review which could further slow down to
under 6% during the year 2012 - 2013 and our Company may be able to
maintain the sale turnover but the profit margin would remain under
severe pressure during the current year 2012-2013.
The Company assumes no responsibility in respect of forward looking
statements made herein above which may substantially change based on
subsequent developments, events, change in the Government policies,
exchange rate etc. over the globe.
D. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY
The Internal Audit department conducts audit of all departments of the
Company and places audit reports/ plans before the Audit Committee
which reviews adequacy of internal audit functions, audit procedures
and its coverage periodically. The minutes of the Audit Committee
meetings are placed at the meetings of the Board of Directors from time
to time.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

During the year under review, Sales Turnover has been increased to Rs.
7994 lacs from Rs. 7890 lacs whereas Net Profit has been reduced to Rs.
734 lacs from Rs.861 lacs as compared to the previous year due to
higher Depreciation and Interest as the Company has added new
machineries and also taken term loans to finance the same.
During the year under review, our export has been decreased to Rs. 250
lacs as compared to Rs. 338 lacs of the previous year due to down turn
in the US and other western markets. However, we could achieve marginal
increase in the sales turnover of Worsted Suiting and Paper maker felt
(clothing).

various factors viz. severe financial constraints, frequent changes in
the Government policies, stabilization of quality products in woolen &
worsted as well as industrial fabrics and cut throat competitive
environment over the globe. During the Industrial License Era,- Shri
Upendrabhai Patel was successful in getting the license for
establishment of new business i.e. Industrial Fabrics (paper makers
felt) in the year 1966 and
license for expansion of worsted fabrics at Ankleshwar in the year
1977. Due to his vision & untiring efforts since 1951, he could turn
around erstwhile Platewell Processes & Chemicals Ltd. (now amalgamated

result thereof, our Company could grow and establish the reputation in
the domestic & international markets.
