MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dividend
Due to carry forward losses, the Directors have not recommended any
dividend for the year.
Industry Conditions and Review of Operations
The Indian textile industry witnessed reasonable improvement during the
course of the year. During the year under review your company was able
to maintain its performance due to stable cotton prices, remunerative
yarn price, upward trend in export of cotton yarn coupled with
depreciation of Indian Rupee and through dedicated efforts aimed at
improving operational efficiency, focus on optimal product mix and
effective cost saving practices.
Power situation was cause of concern for most part of the financial
year. The Company has taken up the modernization of its manufacturing
facilities and planning an outlay of around Rs. 50 Crores towards the
above in the next 3 to 4 years.
Company outlook
During the current year, in the first quarter the demand for the yarn
is subdued and yarn prices could not be increased corresponding to the
increase in cotton prices.
Opportunities, Risks and Concerns
The cotton price is subject to climatic conditions and market
volatility. The probable impact of climatic conditions in current year
is expected to have a bearing on the cotton prices.
Exports may partly get affected since European Markets are yet to
improve. Power shortage and Labour shortage are major concerns, which
could have impact on operations of the Company. Higher inflation and
increase in interest rates would have adverse impact on profit margins
of the company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Industry Conditions and Review of
Operations
The Indian textile and clothing industry witnessed noticeable
improvement in fortunes during the course of the year on sustained
demand for cotton yarn and fabric. The severity of the slowdown in the
global economy was largely mitigated by the timely actions of
Governments and Central Banks across the world. In India supportive
policy measures yielded positive results and the apprehensions of a
protracted global recession, which was at a peak when the year began,
gradually gave way to renewed optimism.
Cotton production during the year was maintained at the previous years
levels but higher exports of cotton caused an increase in domestic
prices and the impact of the same was felt on the results of your
company also. Interest cost, issues relating to non-availability of
quality manpower and power shortage continued to adversely affect the
companys operations, causing erosion in margins.
During the year under review your company was able to effect a
turnaround in performance through dedicated efforts aimed at improving
operational efficiency, quality enhancement, focus on optimal
productmix and effective cost saving practices, all of which resulted
in improved sales and return to profitability. The remunerative prices
and good demand for yarn for the most part of the year helped the
company overcome the escalation in cost
of raw material to a certain extent. Although the domestic demand was
good, exports are yet to reach the levels attained before the global
economic crisis. The domestic consumption driven growth in India is a
positive development holding much promise for the future of the Indian
economy and industry.
Company outlook
The demand for cotton yarn and fabric is expected to be robust in the
forthcoming year also and your company intends to capitalize on this
opportunity by fully harnessing the operational efficiencies and brand
equity built up over the years. Raw material prices continue to rule at
high levels and measures taken by the government to lower prices of
cotton have yet to achieve the desired result. With a normal monsoon
forecast, the prospects of a good cotton crop in India in the ensuing
season are bright and anticipated production increases in other cotton
producing countries offers hope for some moderation in cotton prices.
In the ensuing year, the Company expects to benefit from the
restructuring of operations initiated in the past. The future prospects
of the Company are encouraging in view of the sustained demand for yarn
and fabric. The improvement in economic conditions in India, increasing
domestic consumption and the revival in exports to the major developed
economies offer further encouragement.
Opportunities, Risks and Concerns
The strength and resilience of the Indian economy during the economic
slowdown and the subsequent recovery holds out great promise for
sustained future growth. Increase in domestic per capita consumption of
clothing, on account of higher disposable income, is positive for the
prospects of the textile sector as a whole. Cost saving and efficient
operational practices instituted during the recessionary phase shall
continue to positively impact growth and profits in future. Power
shortage and non-availability of labour are major concerns, which could
lead to escalation in cost of production. The removal of export
benefits for cotton yarn by the government along with a further
strengthening of the Indian rupee against other major currencies could
adversely impact the competitiveness of textile exports.
Subsidiary
During the year, the Company, with a view to nurture profitable
business segments outside the traditional area of Textiles, invested a
sum of Rs.145 Lakhs to acquire 96.67% of the paid up equity share
capital of M/s Sara Elgi Arteriors Limited, comprised of 14.5 Lakhs
fully paid up equity shares of face value Rs.10 each. Sara Elgi
Arteriors Limited is an unlisted Public Company engaged in the
manufacture of environment friendly PVC doors and windows offering
superior noise protection benefits and greater architectural harmony.
These are in good demand in the construction industry and the company
has high potential for future growth. As a result of this investment,
Sara Elgi Arteriors Limited has become a non-material unlisted Indian
subsidiary of the Company in terms of the Companies Act,1956 and the
Listing Agreement.
The Statement as required under Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956,
in respect of the Subsidiary of the Company is annexed and forms an
integral part of this Report. The Audited Balance Sheet, Profit and
Loss Account and other documents in respect of the subsidiary as at
March 31, 2010 have been attached to the Balance sheet of the Company.
