Rs 4,100 lacs as against Rs 4,845 lacs as the Company entered into an

consequently, the processing charges went up from Rs 10 lacs last year
to Rs 96 lacs. This also exposed the Company to newer products which
are being manufactured by very few in the market. The products were
well received by the market and the management has worked out a medium
to long term tie-up for manufacture of the same.

ago. The Company had upgraded its facilities for manufacture of yarn in
its units and this improved the overall performance of the Company
during the year. The management is working hard to improve the capacity
utilization further.

demand remained under pressure in the second half of the year due to
volatility in the prices of finished goods and the rising prices of raw
material.
A lot of capacity is building up in this industry segment with the
Company's products as their basic inputs. In order to remain
competitive, the management is trying to look into the possibility of
building more capacity and consolidating its activities in relation to
its manufacturing facilities and for the same has raised Rs 5.31 crores
by issuing share warrants. It is also applying for bank finance for the
purpose.

activities in relation to production program during the year under
review. Old and obsolete machines which are no longer cost and quality
competitive have been charted to be replaced by modern and cost
competitive machines of texturising and twisting. Sales tax exemption

manufacturing process so as to remain as a quality source of material
in the premium textile markets.

has been applied for the purpose. Other preparatory and ancillary
activities also need to be built up or outsourced, and the management
is engaged with the same.
The production in texturising and twisting activity was marginally
lower this year as the machines are being upgraded and the capacity is
being enhanced by about 22 %. The draw warping and sizing activity
remained steady and enhancement of the capacity of the same alongwith
improving capacity utilization of existing plants is being attempted.
