The above surplus has been carried over to Balance Sheet.

PERFORMANCE:

The year under review was a good year for the spinning industry in India. In spite of the steep increase in cotton prices, demand and prices for cotton yarn kept pace for 3 quarters i.e. upto 31.12.2010. However Government interventions like restrictions on yarn exports and withdrawal of export benefits on cotton yam exports created huge problems during the last quarter of the year.

Cotton prices in India registered unprecedented increase until March 2011, commencing from the current cotton year. Though this was mostly in response to global price, the decision of Government to permit exports during the early part of the cotton year also played a role in increasing the domestic cotton prices. The present problems are thus temporary and a significant improvement in the demand and price realization for cotton yarn can be expected during the second half of the current financial year.

The long term prospects of industry look promising as there is certainty of increase in demand both domestic and exports for cotton yarn.

We expect that the power supply in Tamil Nadu will also improve due to determination of State Government and by good monsoon expected.
