PERFORMANCE
During the year under review, the performance of the company was below
possible level due to insufficient Working Capital facility and the
overall recession prevailed in the Textile Industry.
With the limited resources available, the company found it extremely
difficult to run all the units. At the same time it was felt not
advisable to close one or more Units and the assets are to be
maintained in a good condition atleast to get a good price for that
matter.
DEBT RECOVERY TRIBUNAL:
M/s State Bank of India, Stressed Asset Management Branch, Coimbatore
as the leader of the consortium banks have filed Original Application
in the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Coimbatore for the recovery of the
outstanding dues of Rs. 353,38,13,295/- as on 1-3-2013. This
outstanding amount is exclusive of the dues to IDBI.. The matter is
sub-judice. In the meantime the Lenders have initiated action for the
recovery of the dues under SARFAESI Act The company has filed appeal
against the Original Application filed by M/s State Bank of India and
challenging the action of the Lenders and the matter is sub-judice.
DIVIDEND
In view of the huge loss incurred by the company during the year, the
Directors are not in a position to recommend any dividend for the
financial year ended 31st March, 2015.
FINANCE
The total outstanding dues to the consortium of Lenders as on 31-3-2015
including interest accrued is Rs 365,17,98,258 / - .During the previous
year the company has requested the Lenders to defer the sale of
remaining two Wind Mills since the disposal of Windmills would directly
affect the operations of the remaining units including the garment
production.. This would result in loss of production as well as under
utilization of manpower. Sale of Windmill should not be seen in
isolation and instead it should be seen as a facilitator of for running
the other units. However, the Lenders have sold the remaining two Wind
Mills on 6-11-2014 for a total consideration of Rs 13,63,00,000 /-.
This will have serious impact on the working of the company and the
full impact will be felt in the coming years.
The company is taking all possible effort to keep all the units running
so as to get maximum value while disposing the same for the re-payment
of Bank Loans.
During the year under review, the company has been served with a Show
Cause Notice dated 12-1-2015 from M/s Canara Bank deciding to include
the name of the Company as a Wilful Defaulter and the company has
replied suitably to Canara Bank. The company has also been served with
a Show Cause Notice dated 24-4-2015 from State Bank of India, Stressed
Asset Management Branch deciding to include the name of the Company as a
Wilful Defaulter and the company has requested them to refer the issue
to the Redressal Committee for submission of objections.
Since the Lenders started taking various steps including release of
E-Auction Notices, the Company as stated elsewhere was forced to resort
to seeking remedies through legal avenues. However, the intention of
the company was (or for that matter is) not to find out solutions for
its heavy debt problem in the corridor of Courts. They have taken
symbolic possession of all the Units and in fact taken physical
possession of the Weaving & Processing Unit (Unit 8) and Wet Processing
Unit ( Unit- 6) at Perundurai on 21-5-2015 and also the Ring Spinning
Unit (Unit-4 & 9 ) at Udamalpet on 3-6-2015. They are also trying to
sell the Units through E-auction route and notices have been issued in
this connection and the auction were held on 22-12-2013,
9-3-2014,13-9-2014,12-12-2014, we understand that some of the units
have been sold in the auction. Parallely the Company has offered
several One Time Settlement proposal (OTS) and the some have been
rejected by the bank. The company is still negotiating with the banks
for the one time settlement.
In the process of implementation of the SARFAESI ACT, the Lenders have
recovered a sum of Rs 40,47,22,930/- by selling the assets consisting
of three vacant lands and five Wind Mills and also by way of retention
from every collection which comes to Rs 13,61,95,530/- upto 31 -3-2015.

PERFORMANCE
During the year under review, the performance of the company is not
satisfactory because of working in a special situation of financial
distress with very limited Working Capital availability. The company is
now working primarily on" Asset Protection Mode " With the limited
resources available, the company found it extremely difficult to run
all the units. At the same time it was felt not advisable to close one
or more Units and the assets are to be maintained in a good condition
atleast to get a good price for that matter. Hence, keeping in mind the
life of the assets and for a regular income, the company has given Ring
Spinning Unit ( Unit - 4 & 9 ) situated at Pushpattur Village,
Udamalpet Taluk and Open End Spinning Unit (Unit -3) situated at
Kolhapur, Maharastra State to Job Work.
REFERENCE TO BIFR:
As reported last year, the Company has made a reference to Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in terms of Section 23
of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 on
13-6-2013 in view of the accumulated loss exceeded the Net Worth of the
company during the financial year ended 31st March, 2013. M/s State
Bank of India, as a Leader of the consortium of bankers have filed a
Miscellaneous Application to the Board for Industrial and Financial
Reconstruction (BIFR) seeking for the abatement of the reference made
by the company in terms of third proviso to Section13 (1) of Sick
Industrial Companies (Special Provisions ) Act, 1985. The case was
heared on 10-9-2013, 21-11-2013,9-12-2013and28-1-2014 and the Board has
finally abated the reference on 26-3-2014.
DEBT RECOVERY TRIBUNAL:
M/s State Bank of India, Stressed Asset Management Branch, Coimbatore
as the leader of the consortium banks have filed Original Application
in the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Coimbatore for the recovery of the
outstanding dues of Rs 353,38,13,295 /- as on 1-3-2013.. This
outstanding amount is exclusive of the dues to IDBL. The matter is
sub-judice. In the meantime the Lenders have initiated action for the
recovery of the dues under SARFAESI Act. The company has filed appeal
against the Original Application filed by M/s State Bank of India and
challenging the action of the Lenders and the matter is sub-judice.
DIVIDEND
In view of the huge loss incurred by the company during the year, the
Directors are not in a position to recommend any dividend for the
financial year ended 31st March, 2014.
FINANCE
During the year under review, the Company has been served with Notice
under Section 13( 4) of the SARFAESI Act, (Possession Notice) on 11
-6-2013 and 11 -7-2013 taking symbolic possession of all the Units
Subsequently, the Lenders have issued E-auction Sale Notice on
22-12-2013 for the sale of (1) Ring Spinning Units (Unit 4 & Unit-9)
situated at Pushpattur Village, Udamalpet Taluk (2) Weaving &
Processing Unit (Unit-8) situated at SIPCOT Industrial Growth Center,
Perundurai and (3) Two Wind Mills situated at Udamalpet Taluk and the
auction date was fixed on 30-1-2014 and the outcome of auction is not
known.
The company felt that, the sale of Windmills would be detrimental in
the interest of the company. More than the financial loss (by way of EB
Bill going up by Rs.35 lakhs per month), disposal of Windmills will
directly affect the operations of the remaining units including the
garment production. Everyday, during the peak hour (6 pm to 10 pm) the
regular TNEB power is not available for production. This will result in
loss of production as well as under utilization of manpower. If the
Company has the Windmill, it can use the Power Generated and overcome
the Bottle neck. In short, sale of Windmill should not be seen in
isolation and instead it should be seen as a facilitator for running
the other units. Therefore, the company was forced to file two Writ
Petition in the Hon''ble High Court, Chennai praying for a direction to
the bank to refrain from putting the Windmill to sale on the Ground
that E- Auction is not the correct process adopted by the Lenders for
the recovery of their dues and also challenging the classification of
the Company''s Account as a Non- performing Asset by the Lenders.
The case came up for hearing on 29-1-2014 and their Lordships after
hearing the case were pleased to grant Interim Injunction relief as to
"Not to confirm the Sale in the e-Auction which is to be conducted on
30th January, 2014 until the final disposal of the main Writ Petition."
Ultimately, the Hon''ble Madras High Court has dismissed a bunch of
petitions filed for various issues vide its Order dated 8-5-2014. The
High Court has also held that e -Auction is also a valid means of
recovery.
In the meantime,State Bank of India has issued another E-auction Sale
Notice on 9-3-2014 for the sale of all the Units of the Company
excluding the Open End Spinning Unit ( Unit-3) situated at Kolhapur &
two windmills and the auction date was fixed on 9-4-2014. The Reserve
Price fixed for all the Units was Rs 192.32 crores. In the above Notice
two Wind Mills were not included as the issue is pending before the
Court.
Since the Lenders started taking various steps including release of
e-Auction Notices, the Company as stated elsewhere was forced to resort
to seeking remedies through legal avenues. However, the intention of
the company was ( or for that matter is ) not to find out solutions for
its heavy debt problem in the corridor of Courts.
The Company strongly believes that any solution which is practical as
well as permanent one, can be found only with the co-operation of the
Lenders.
Therefore, parallely the Company started scouting for ways and means to
mitigate its debt burden through all possible sources including the
Lenders. The Company is glad to share with you the fact that
negotiations are underway with an entity who has shown keen interest in
steeping in to the company initially as a Strategic Investor. Once this
effort of the company fructifies, the company will be a in position to
approach the Banks with a proposal of One Time Settlement (OTS).
Once the discussions reach a particular level, the company shall
approach the Banks, the Sharehoders and other Statutory Authorities to
proceed further.

PERFORMANCE
There has been no improvement in the adverse power scenario prevailing
in the State of Tamil Nadu. The power position in the State remains of
shortage and effective power availability is only 33 % and that too an
un-scheduled one. Moreover, the un-scheduled tripping without any prior
notice by TNEB is causing heavy damage to the quality of yarn and
machines . Hence, the performance of the Company was badly affected due
to severe power cut, low Plant utilization, meager Working Capital
availability and low finished goods margin in open end division. The
performance during the year under review, the conditions in the
industry as a whole, various favorable and unfavorable factors are
being discussed in detail in the Management Discussion and Analysis.
REFERENCE TO BIFR :
Section 15 (1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions)
Act, 1985 provides that where an Industrial Company has become a Sick
Industrial Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, shall,
within 60 days from the date of finalization of the duly audited
accounts of the Company for the financial year as at the end of which
the company has become Sick Industrial Company, make a reference to the
Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) for
determination of measures which shall be adopted with respect to the
Company.
It is observed that as per the audited accounts of the company as on
31-3-2013, the accumulated loss have exceeded the entire Net Worth of
the company and it has become necessary for the company to make
reference such erosion to Board for Industrial and Financial
Reconstruction (BIFR) . Necessary resolution authorizing the Board of
Directors to refer to BIFR is included in the Notice convening the 24
Annual General Meeting of the company.
The main reasons for the loss are as under.
1. More than 60 % Power Cut in the state of Tamil Nadu.
2. Poor capacity utilization.
3. Insufficient Working Capital to run the entire industry.
4. High cost borrowings & Tight liquidity condition.
5. Imbalanced Capex in respect of the project undertaken.
6. Unremunerative price in open end divisions.
In view of the accumulated loss having eroded the Net Worth, the
Company is a Sick Company within the meaning of Section 3(1) (0) Sick
Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985.
DIVIDEND
In view of the huge loss incurred by the company during the year, the
Directors are not in a position to recommend any dividend for the
financial year ended 31s March, 2013.
PROJECT
The project as it was envisaged has been partially completed. In view
of the financial constraints, there has been a change in the project
and to the extent to which advances are available with the machinery
suppliers, the project is being re-designed so that there is no
additional outflow on the score of project implementation.
In fact, the projected turnover could not be achieved because of the
imbalanced Capex. The land as detailed in the project have been
acquired and the Building also as projected have been built -up. But
the machineries as projected could not be procured and installed
because of cost escalation during the initial stage of implementation
of the project, non-adherence of delivery schedule by the supplier.
Consequently, there was shortage of Working Capital and all the units
were to be managed with the available Working Capital.
The difficult situation prevailing in the Textile Industry in the State
of Tamil Nadu continued during the year under review owing to various
factors such as huge shortage of power and skilled manpower. There was
no improvement in the power position also as the average power shut
down per day touched up to 12-14 hours. This has affected the
production schedule very badly and in fact only 33 % production was
achieved with the available power which has made the Industry difficult
to run. In so far as the improvement in power position is concerned,
the solution appears to far away as almost all the Power Generating
Units in the State are under renovation and also due to failure of both
the South -West and North-East monsoons. Operating with captive Diesel
/ Furnace Oil Generators are proving to be totally un-economical.
Having Wind Mill is giving huge respite as far as some part of the year
the company becomes entitled to run during peak hour.
The Labour scenario is also not encouraging At all levels and in all
categories, locating and retaining capable hands has become a real
issue.
FINANCE
During the year under review, the Company has been served with Notice
u/s Section 13(2) of Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial
Assets and ''Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 ( SARFAESI ACT
) on 4-12-2012 and subsequently an amended Notice dated 4-4-2013
calling upon the Company to repay the outstanding liabilities of Rs
360,24,15,321 /- (Rupees three hundred sixty crores twenty four lakhs
fifteen thousand three hundred and twenty one only) excluding IDBI Bank
as on 15-11-2012 with further interest and incidental expenses. The
Company has sent its objection on 2-2-2013 to the above Notice through
M/s Dhir & Dhir, a Legal Forum in New Delhi and a reply has been
received from M/s State Bank of India ,Stressed Assets Management
Branch, Chennai vide their letter dated 8-2-2013 rejecting the entire
objection .
The Board of Directors in their meeting held on 14-2-2013 have reviewed
the above said SARFAESI Notice and recorded the same. As already
informed, the Company proposed to sell the Weaving & Processing Unit at
Perundurai (Unit 8) and the Ring Spinning Unit at Pushpattur (Unit 4
and Unit 9) and settle the outstanding loan with the amount realized as
One Time Settlement (OTS) .
The Company has offered an One Time Settlement proposal and the same
was rejected by the Lenders and they have preferred to file a case in
the Debt Recovery Tribunal . (DRT) The Company will file counter as and
when summon is received from DRT.

unclaimed or unpaid. The company has complied with all the requirements
of Sec.58A of the Companies Act and the rules there under in so far as

PERFORMANCE
The year under review is one of the worst periods in the history of the
Company. The performance of the Company was badly affected due to very
high input cost, severe power cut, high interest rate and depressed
finshed goods realization. The performance during the year under
review, the conditions in the industry as a whole, various favourable
and unfavourable factors are being discussed in detail in the
management discussion and analysis.
DIVIDEND
In view of the carry forward loss being more than 50% of the net worth
of the company, the Directors are not in a position to recommend any
dividend for the financial year ended 31st March 2012.
PROJECT
The project as it was envisaged has been more or less completed. In
view of the financial constraints, there has been a change in the
project and to the extent to which advances are available with the
machinery suppliers, the project is being re-designed so that there is
no additional outflow on the score of project implementation.
PROSPECTS
Textile Industry continues to reel under severe crisis and mounting
cash losses mainly due to under utilization of machinery and the
economic slow down in importing Countries particularly United States
and Europe though the condition has been slightly improved in United
States. The alarming shortage in power supply due to scheduled and
unscheduled stoppages by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board coupled with
slow down in the yarn market have forced Textile Mills to under-
utilize their capacity to the maximum extent. This has hit the
production as well as the delivery schedule very badly.
With the crude oil prices going up, operating with captive Diesel /
Furnace Oil Generators are proving to be totally un-economical. Though
the Company has its own Wind Energy Generators, the power generated has
to be fed into the central grid and can be availed only through the
grid. Hence, continuous and stable supply of power is not assured.
The Labour scenario is also far from satisfactory. At all levels and in
all categories, locating and retaining capable hands has become a real
issue. Free imports of Yarn, Fabric and Garments has led to the
flooding in the domestic market thereby slackening the demand for the
CompanyÃs products. In spite of these impediments, your Company is
making every effort to keep production at the maximum possible level,
if not at the optimum level.
POWER GENERATION PLANT
During the year under review, the company impaired the Power Generation
Plant at unit 4, Udumalpet, valued at Rs.380.75 Lakhs. In view of the
higher price of furnance oil it would not be viable to run the unit and
hence the unit had not been functioning for the last few years.
Considering the present situation and the company as a whole, it would
not be possible to make the unit as a profitable venture and hence the
decision to impair was taken, after following the due exercise.
FINANCE
As the members were informed in the previous yearÃs report, the company
had arrived at a debt restructuring. With the fortune of the industry
going against the company, there was no option for the company than to
approach the bankers for revised restructuring so that the burden of
the company in terms of cash outflow will be reduced to manageable
limits. Inspite of that, the company is finding it extremely difficult
to meet its commitments. During the year under review, due to
insufficient Working Capital, the Company's performance was far below
the optimum level.
The Directors have come to the conclusion that long term solution for
the companyÃs problems lies only in reducing the debt burden thereby
reducing the interest burden as well. The Directors have therefore
decided to dispose off some of the assets and reduce the debt burden.
Parallely, discussions are also going on with the bankers for a
possible one time settlement of debts due.
During the year under review, the company has effected the sale of
three Wind Mills for a consideration of Rs 21.60 crores, vacant land
admeasuring 26.49 ý acres of land situated at Munduvelampatty Village
for a consideration of Rs 90.48 lakhs and vacant land anmeasuring 1.62
acres of land situated at Kalappaty Village for a consideration of Rs
1.82 crores. These amounts have been utilized for the repayment of Term
Loan obtained from the Banks. The company is also in the process of
sale of Weaving & Processing unit at Perundurai and the Spinning Unit
at Udamalpet.
With the present limits of working capital funding, the Company finds
it difficult to carry out its operations even at low utilisation
levels.
It would be extremely impractical to carry out the operation unless the
working capital limit is enhanced by the Banks/ lenders.
DEPOSITS
There are no deposits outstanding as on 31st March 2012 remaining
unclaimed or unpaid. The company has complied with all the requirements
of Sec.58A of the Companies Act and the rules there under in so far as
the deposits which were in existence during the earlier period is
concerned.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
A separate Report on the Corporate Governance is enclosed as part of
this Annual Report. The Auditors of the Company have also given their
certificate relating to compliance of Corporate Governance and this
report is annexed to the report of Corporate Governance as is required
by the Listing Agreement.
LISTINGS
The companyÃs shares are listed both in National Stock Exchange of
India Ltd and Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd. The company has paid listing
fee to both the exchanges.
The company has already applied for de-listing of its equity shares to
Calcutta Stock Exchange Association Ltd and Coimbatore Stock Exchange
Ltd. Though all the formalities have been completed and reminders have
been sent, reply from these two stock exchanges are awaited. However
no listing fee has been paid to these two stock exchanges.

PERFORMANCE
The performance during the year under review, the conditions prevailing
in the industry in general, and the troubles and turmoil that the
Company has been undergoing for the past 2 to 3 years are all matters
covered by Management Discussion and Analysis which forms part of the
Board Report. However, your Directors wish to state that while the year
under review was better compared to the situation obtaining in 2008-09,
still the level of working and the level of profitability is not
sufficient not only to put the company out of red but also to service
the existing loss. Your Directors are exploring the possibilities of
restructuring loans in consultation with the Bankers and other lenders.
DIVIDEND
In view of the huge loss, your Directors are not in a position to
recommend any dividend whatsoever.
PROJECT
The project which the Company undertook has been completed excepting
Ring Spinning Unit where some items of machinery are yet to be
purchased and installed. The whole project has been delayed not only
due to suppliers equipments but also because of absolute dearth of
funds which the Company is experiencing as a result whereof even if the
suppliers were in a position to deliver, the Company was forced to
defer the deliveries.
PROSPECTS
The prospects of the Spinning Industry appear to have improved but the
improvement is yet to be seen in real terms in so far as the cloth
market is concerned. The cloth prices which were good for about three
months, in the year 2010, have suddenly dropped and at the moment, they
are not remunerative.
With these circumstances prevailing in the industry in general and the
financial constraints of the Company is facing, in particular, the
Company can come out of the present difficult situation only if a major
restructuring is done by bringing down the liabilities to sustainable
level. For this, hiving off of some of the units may be inevitable and
as and when any decision is taken, the shareholders will be approached
for their permission as required by law.
FINANCE
The Company has been undergoing a very difficult period in view of the
huge losses that it has incurred and at the same time it has also
incurred capital expenditure. Because the Company was not able to
service the debts even to the extent of interest, the first CDR Scheme
was put in place and it was expected that by this time situation would
have improved and the Company will be able to meet its commitments.
However, such a situation is not to be. The Company has been having
discussions with the bankers for second CDR Scheme or modification of
the terms contained in the first CDR Scheme itself. At this point in
time, the CDR Empowered Group has agreed for deferment of payment of
all principal for a period of 18 months within which period the Company
is expected to hive off of some of its units which will fetch monies
in, in order to reduce the debt burden to sustainable levels. Every
effort is being made towards this end and as has been stated, as and
when any final decision is taken, which cannot be taken without the
consultation and approval of the banks, the shareholders will also be
approached for sanction of such hive off.
DEPOSITS
There are no fixed deposits outstanding as on 31st March 2010 remain
unclaimed or unpaid. The Company has complied with all the requirements
of Section 58A of the Companies Act, 1956 and all the rules thereunder
in so far as the deposits which were in existence during the earlier
previous year is concerned.
LISTING
The Companys shares are listed both in National Stock Exchange of
India Limited and the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited. The Company has
paid listing fee to both the Exchanges.The Company has already applied
for de-listing of its Equity Shares in 1) The Calcutta Stock Exchange
Association Ltd and 2) Coimbatore Stock Exchange Ltd and the order for
de-listing is still awaited from them.
