DIVIDEND

Your Board of Directors does not recommend any Dividend on equity and preference shares due to loss in the company during the year under review.

PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

Your company''s Total Revenue during the year was Rs. 10290.29 lacs as compared to Rs.9087.12 lacs in previous year. The Company''s cash loss of Rs. 3050.54 lacs during the year against Cash loss of Rs. 1428.20 lacs in previous year. The Company''s net loss is Rs. 4554.62 lacs during the year as against net loss of Rs. 1336.71 lacs in previous year.

The Company Sustained loss on account of the following factors:

(i) Domestic Price of Cotton (Gujarat Shanker- 6 variety ) increased from Rs. 35000 per candy (356 Kg) to Rs. 62500 per candy.Situation was further aggravated due to premature announcement by the Government for the Cotton Export of 55 lakhs bales in 45 days.

(ii) Suspension of cotton yarns export resulting in a huge piling of yarn inventory over 500 million Kgs with the spinning mills.Eventually when this ill timed ban was lifted there was sudden rush to liquidate the yarn stock at any price made from high priced cotton Inventory.

(iii) Holding high cost of raw material inventory without corrosponding increase in yarn prices led to steep fall in profitability in the Financial Year 2011-2012 and majority of spinning units report cash losses.

(iv) Due to unfettered and huge exports of raw cotton from the beginning of the cotton season from October2011 , raw material of uniform quality at right prices became scarce.

(v) The present rate of interest i.e 13.5% is still very high which substantially added to the manufacturing cost.

All the above factors made the yarn costly with poor realization resulting in loss.

REWORKING OF THE EXISTING CDR PACKAGE

Company''s performance deteriorated during the current year due to external reasons like increase in raw material prices, ban of export of yarn, slag in demand in international and domestic market, sudden drop in yarn prices. Considering the gravity of the situation CDR Monitoring Committee mandated Project Appraisal Group (PAG), Canara Bank, HO, Bangalore to conduct a TEV study. A fresh TEV study conducted by Project Appraisal Group (PAG), Canara Bank, HO, Bangalore established the viability of the unit on reworking of the existing CDR package including allowing need based working capital.CDR Monitoring Committee in its meeting dated 15th November 2012 adopted the report with minor modification subject to conversion of 707580 Nos of Redeemable Preference Shares held by the promoters into equity. Based on the modification as suggested by the CDR MC (monitoring committee), Canara Bank the lead bank and monitoring institution with final approval from their competent authority has sent a final report to CDR Cell for their necessary approval of the proposed rework package. Financial Sanction and implementation of the proposed package will be made after the final approval from CDR EG which is expected shortly.

DIVIDEND

Your Board of Directors does not recommend any Dividend on equity and preference shares due to loss in the company during the period under review.

PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

Your company''s Gross Income during the year of 12 months was Rs.9190.76 lacs as compared to Rs. 19442.23 lacs in previous period of 18 months. The Company''s cash loss of Rs. 1295.42 lacs during the period against Cash loss of Rs. 404.59 lacs in previous period. The Company''s net loss is Rs. 1427.48 lacs during the period as against net loss of Rs. 1060.51 lacs in previous period.

The Company Sustained loss on account of the following factors:

(1) Global Slowdown

(i) on account of recession in U.S; sovereign debt crisis and financial meltdown in Europe. Both USA and Europe are the major ultimate buyers of Textile garments/made ups and the demand of yarn reduced with the reduction of demand in end use of Textile items.

(ii) leading to slump in domestic demand compounded by other external factors.

(2) Volatility in Cotton/Yarn Prices

The Textile Industry is passing through an unprecedented downward cycle marked by extreme price volatility, increase of cotton yarn prices to an all time high, followed by sudden crash in yarn prices leading to losses and also dampening demand in domestic and international markets.

The average price of Cotton during October 2010- March 2011 reached historic high with escalation of around 85 per cent over the corresponding period of last year. This is the primary reason for an increase in the cost of production of cotton yarn. Although from mid- April 2011 cotton prices have shown a softening trend but generally it remained at higher level than what was prevailing prior to 2010-2011 cotton season. After March, 2011 World cotton prices has crashed in tandem with the global commodity prices after reaching unprecedented high levels.

The sudden sharp drop in prices the mills forced them to dispose off yarn at lower price against high cost purchase. Being a part of the industry the performance of the company also suffered and affected due the above double whammy reasons.

(3) Regulatory Policies

a. Frequent and several changes in Government policy for export of cotton yarn from April,2010 onwards, impeding the hitherto smooth flow of exports and imposition of quantitative export quota leading to virtual stoppage of yarn exports from India in the last quarter of January, 11 to March, 11.

b. Withdrawal of Export Incentive and lower rates of drawback.

c. Free export under OGL of main raw material - cotton. ithdrawal of Interest subvention.

e. Imposition of 10% Excise Duty on Garments affecting domestic demand.

f. Increase in cost of borrowings.

All the above factors made the yarn costly with poor realization resulting in loss.

ALLOTMENT OF CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFRENCE SHARES TO BANKS UNDER CDR SCHEME
