ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The unprecedented net loss in the last financial year was the result of
the impact of a severe global recession as well as a sharp rupee
appreciation against the US Dollar. Due to this, it was necessary to
seek and secure from our lending bankers a debt restructuring scheme
with moratorium on loan repayments. Our Banks fully supported our
company in a difficult time by granting us the requested moratorium.
Your Directors wish to place on record our appreciation for their
support and co-operation.
Your Directors express their warm appreciation to the employees for
their diligence and contribution in running the mills smoothly.
