OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Your Company has achieved all time high turnover of Rs. 428.30 Crores during the year as compared to Rs. 410.90 Crores in the previous year, an increase of 4.23%. Export turnover has increased by 4.34% from Rs. 289.42 Crores in the previous year to Rs. 301.99 Crores during the year under review and it constitutes 70.51% of the total turnover during the current year.

During the current year the Cotton spinning industry faced unprecedented challenges in terms of steep decline in raw cotton prices and yarn prices. In the year 2010- 11, prices of cotton more than doubled to Rs. 173 per kg in April, 2011, from Rs. 80 per kg in March, 2010 on the back of a combination of robust demand and constrained supply because of lower cotton crop in main cotton producing countries like China, Pakistan and the United States and Government Policy of allowing Exports of cotton without assessing actual production requirement of domestic industry.

International prices of cotton started declining from April, 2011. Further, due to subdued demand of yarn in domestic market following closure of dyeing units in Tirupur, a leading hub for hosiery exports and economic uncertainties in European markets, yarn inventories piled up with spinning units. The stock of cotton yarn with the spinners also affected cotton purchases by mills and had a further cascading effect on cotton prices. The cotton prices in India started tumbling and went down by almost 50% by end of July, 2011 from the peak of April, 2011. Spinners loaded with high-cost cotton procured till April, 2011 along with large stock of cotton yarn manufactured from high cost cotton suffered heavy losses during first half of 2011-12.

Your company also suffered heavy losses during first half of the current year on account of higher carrying cost of cotton and also due to steep fall in yarn prices. In the new cotton season cotton prices have stabilized and yarn prices have also improved, leading to better realizations and consequently improvement in profitability in second half. In this background your company has reported operating profit (EBIDTA) of Rs 4517.16 lacs during the year against Rs 7604.57 Lacs in previous year and earned net profit (PAT) of Rs 30.31 lacs during the current year against Rs 673.78 lacs in the previous year. However, your Company is optimistic of better performance during the current year 2012 - 13.

FUTURE PLANS

In order to respond to growing demand and to diversify the product range, your Company is entering into higher value addition products of Slub and Compact yarns by installing Slub and Compact attachments and also increasing capacity of Multifold Yarn by installing additional TFOs at total project cost of Rs. 5.50 Crores. Further, due to increase in input cost of Thermal and F.O. Power Plants, the electricity cost has increased substantially and therefore your Company is taking electricity connection from State Electricity Board on dedicated 132 KV line at a project cost of Rs. 6.50 Crores. The aggregate project cost of Rs. 12.00 crores is being partly financed through term loan of Rs. 9.00 crores from bankers and balance from internal accrual.
