The financial position of the company deteriorated significantly following the COVID-19
pandemic. Despite ongoing efforts to stabilize operations, the company was unable to
achieve profitability. To sustain its business activities, the company secured various credit
facilities from financial institutions, including long-term and short-term working capital
loans, business loans, and car loans. Unfortunately, the pandemic''s adverse impact
compromised the company''s financial discipline, leading to defaults on debt repayments.
Additionally, the company failed to meet its secretarial and BSE compliance obligations,
further exacerbating its financial difficulties. As a result of these compounded challenges, the
company ceased operations in February 2023.
Considering the position of the company, The Board of directors of the company in their
board meeting has decided to initiate the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. Further,
The Board of Directors sought and received shareholders'' approval to initiate the Corporate
Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under Section 10 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Code (IBC), 2016 at the 37th Annual General Meeting held on February 22, 2023.

(NPA) on February 28, 2023, and issued a notice under Section 13(2) of the Securitisation and
Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act,
2002, on March 1, 2023. This was followed by a possession notice under Section 13(4) of the
SARFAESI Act on October 30, 2023, January 12, 2024 and May 24, 2024. Following the
possession notice all the three properties of the company were auctioned November 22, 2023,
February 22, 2024 and June 28, 2024 respectively.
Further, on June 12, 2023 The Bombay Stock Exchange had also suspended the trading of
securities of the company due to non- Compliance with the SEBI (Listing Obligation and
Disclosure Requirement) 2018. Further, on March 18, 2024, the Company has also received a
show-cause notice from Bombay Stock Exchange in the matter of compulsory delisting of the
Securities of the Company since the trading was suspended for more than 6 months.
In terms of Regulation 22(3) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Delisting of Equity
Shares) Regulations, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as "Delisting Regulations"), the Exchange
further issued a Public Notice in financial express, Business Standard and Navshakti dated
May 04, 2024, intimating the proposed delisting of the equity shares of the Company on the
Exchange.
The Exchange then provide the Company an opportunity of personal hearing before the
delisting committee of the exchange in its meeting held on June 24, 2024.
The Company respectfully requests the Delisting Committee to consider revoking the
suspension of trading of its securities on the BSE after completing the revocation process and
to refrain from delisting the company based solely on past non-compliances. The Company
is prepared to rectify all non-compliance issues and complete pending compliances. The
Company remains steadfast in its commitment to overcoming past challenges, revitalizing
operations, and ensuring strict adherence to all regulatory frameworks.
Recognizing the need for a structured approach to recovery, the Board engaged with various
strategic planners to formulate a comprehensive revival strategy. This plan aims to withdraw
the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) application and focus on reviving the
company. The strategy includes measures to repay all outstanding debts to creditors.
Additionally, the company intends to bring its operations and financial reporting into full

2. OPERATIONS
Currently in India, the national economy and marketplace is undergoing
rapid changes and transformation. The volatility in the macroeconomic
environment during the FY 2014-15 continued to ] cast its shadow and
most of the markets where Mayur Leather operates, were impacted. Today
the companies are operating in such a marketplace where the survival of
the fittest is the law. Even in this environment, the Company recorded
an exemplary financial performance. The major contributing factors for
such all-round performance across all the geographies and industry
verticals was the Company's customer-centric approach and its ability
to innovate customer specific products, focus on pricing, disciplined
execution of complex projects and the rigor in following strong
internal processes. This coupled with favorable foreign exchange rate
provided better profit margin.
Changing economic scenario and business conditions, evolving consumer
preferences, rapid technological innovations and adoption and
globalization are driving Mayur Leather to transform the manner in
which they operate.
Major challenge is high inflation rate in India and shortage of
Leather. This is posing a big problem as the acceptability selling
price does not increase in the same ratio as compare to increase in
cost of Raw Material. Especially Leather which has been increasing 15%
to 25% per annum along with shortage of availability is a huge
challenge. Your Company is now focused on its core business objective
i.e. growth, profitability and asset efficiency.
During the year 2013- 14, revenue from operation increased by 6.21% as
compared to year 2012- 2013 and in current year we have achieved 21.55%
increment as compared to previous year.
The table below shows the comparative growth in revenue of the Company
since last three years:
Financial
year Revenue from Other income Total revenue
operations
2012-13 Rs. 2175.13 Lacs Rs. 65.49 Lacs Rs.2240.62 Lacs
2013-14 Rs. 2310.22 Lacs Rs. 106.13 Lacs Rs.2416.35 Lacs
2014-15 Rs. 2808.02 Lacs Rs. 108.60 Lacs Rs. 2916.62 Lacs
In order to increase our market share to offset the decline in export,
the Company has taken various steps, major of them are follows:
a. In collaboration with M/s UVEX our German buyers:
European union is under recession. We are trying to stabilize our
turnover and increase our customer base and product profile
b. We undertook project implementation to start Vulka Shoe production
for the Company Heckel Securite, France.
This has helped to nullify the reduction in exports to Europe over the
last few years.
c. Development is on for new customers in Oman and Qatar to nullify
reduction due to recession in middle east. We are also making efforts
to develop addition customers in the middle east to support these
efforts.
d. We are undertaking various activities to develop local Indian
market:
Our presence in the local market was negligible in the year 2006 -07.
We have started activities during the year 2007-08 & by 2008-09 our
local market was approx. 29429 Pairs valued at approx.Rs. 1.49 Crores.
In the year 2010-11 our local turnover was increased approx. 64%
incomparison with the year 2009-10.During the year 2011-12 & 2012-13
due to recession effect on local market our local turnover was stable
in both the years, it was around 1.50 Crore in each year.
During the FY. 2013-14 we achieved a target sale of 63860 Pairs in
domestic Market valued at Rs 3.78 Crore Approx. which is a tremendous
increment in domestic sales almost 152 % as compared to Previous Year.
In Current Year the scale has got higher by sale of 92191 Pairs
inDomestic Market valued at 6.72 Crore Approx. Efforts are on to
increase local market hence tosupplement decrease in export
market.However the thrust is to enter the Indian market in a bigway as
even in India people are moving towards safety consciousness and demand
is slowlyincreasing for quality safety footwear even though price
expectation is a challenge. We expect to supplement the decrease in
demand in Europe due to recession with increase in domestic supplies.
e. Company working very hard to enter into Domestic Institutional
Sales to Government Paramilitary and Police Departments.
With reference to the above steps taken by the Company, the Company is
confident of recovering the lost ground due to the recession in Europe.
However, there is one uncertainty in export business and that is the
status of EURO. At the moment, it is very volatile and has decreased as
compared with US Dollar from 1.33 to 1.11. Exchange rate is difficult
to predict, but it is a global phenomenon and both the exporters and
the importers in Europe will have to find a solution to it. The rate of
US dollar is in favors of export market it has been increased from
59.95 to 61.50 as compared to previous year.
We have also gone in for diversification. The idea is to expand
business areas in same line of business and for the purpose of the same
the Company intends to enter into business of Sandals/sleepers also.
The Company acknowledges the importance of the plant and employees as
the base behind the success of the Company. Your Company believes that
it's the teamwork of the employees which enables Company to reach the
new heights. The Company is committed to work together keeping in full
trust on each other and strive to keep itself in the high growth
trajectory to achieve newer heights.

OPERATIONS
Currently in India, the national economy and marketplace is undergoing
rapid changes and transformation. The volatility in the macroeconomic
environment during the FY 2013-14 continued to cast its shadow and most
of the markets where Mayur Leather operates, were impacted.Today the
companies are operating in such a marketplace where the survival of the
fittest is the law. Even in this environment, the Company recorded an
exemplary financial performance. The major contributing factors for
such all-round performance across all the geographies and industry
verticals was the Company''s customer-centric approach and its ability
to innovate customer specific products, focus on pricing, disciplined
execution of
omple x projects and the rigor in following strong internal processes.
This coupled with favorable foreign exchange rate provided better
profit margin.
Changing economic scenario and business conditions, evolving consumer
preferences, rapid technological innovations and adoption and
globalization are driving Mayur Leather to transform the manner in
which they operate.
Major challenge is high inflation rate in India and shortage of
Leather. This is posing a big problem as the acceptability selling
price does not increase in the same ratio as compare to increase in
cost of Raw Material.Especially Leather which has been increasing 15%
to 25% per annum along with shortage of availability is a huge
challenge.Your Company is now focused o n its core business objective
i.e. growth, profitability and asset efficiency.
During the year 2012 - 13, revenue from operation increased by 3.29% as
compared to year 2011-2012 and in current year we have achieved 6.21%
increment as compared to previous year.
The table below shows the comparative growth in revenue of the Company
since last three years:
Financial year Revenue from operations Otherincome Total revenue
- Rs. 2105.80 Lacs Rs. 60.72 Lacs Rs. 2166.52 Lacs
2012 - 13 Rs. 2175.13 Lacs Rs. 65.49 Lacs Rs.2240.62Lacs
2013 - 14 Rs. 2310.22 Lacs Rs. 106.13 Lacs Rs.2416.35Lacs
In order to increase our market share to offset the decline in export,
the Company has taken various steps, major of them are follows:
a. In collaboration with M/s UVEX our German buyers:
European union is under recession. We are trying to stabilize out
turnover and increase our customer base and product profile
b. We undertook project implementation to start Vulka Shoe production
for the Company Heckel Securite, France.
This has helped to nullify the reduction in exports to Europe over the
last few years._
c. Development is on for new customers in Oman and Qatar to nullify
reduction due to recession in middle east.We are also making efforts to
develop addition customers in the middle east to support these efforts.
d. We are undertaking various activities to develop local Indian
market:
Our presence in the local market was negligible in the year 2006 - 07.
We have started activities during the year 2007-08 & by 2008-09 our
local market was approx. 29429 Pairs valued at approx. Rs. 1.49
Crores. In the year 2010-11 our local turnover was increased approx.
64% in comparison with the year 2009-10.
During the year 2011-12 & 2012-13 due to recession effect on local
market our local turnover was stable in both the years, it was around
1.50 crore in each year. But during the current year we achieved a
target sale of 63860 Prs in domestic Market valued at Rs 3.78 Crore
Approx. which is a tremendous increment in domestic sales almost 152 %
as compared to Pr evious Year. Efforts are on to increase local market
hence to supplement decrease in export market.
However the thrust is to enter the Indian market in a big way as even
in India people are moving towards safety consciousness and demand is
slowly increasin g for quality safety footwear even though price
expectation is a challenge.
We expect to supplement the decrease in demand in Europe due to
recession with increase in domestic supplies.
With reference to the above steps taken by the Company, the Company is
confident of recovering the lost ground due to the recession in Europe.
However, there is one uncertainty in export business and that is the
status of EURO. At the moment, it is very volatile and has decreased as
compared with US Dollar from 1.45 to 1.33. Exchange rate is difficult
to predict, but it is a global phenomenon and both the exporters and
the importers in Europe will have to find a solution to it. The rate of
US dollar is in favors of export market it has been increased from
54.32 to 59.95 as compared to previous year.
We have also gone in for diversification. The idea is to expand
business areas in same line of business and for the purpose of the same
the Company intends to enter into business of Sandals/sleepers also.
