BUSINESS ANALYSIS:
Your Directors are happy to inform you that during the financial year
under review, your company has been able to generate sufficient cash to
pay off all the outstanding secured loans together with interests due
thereon up to the period ending March 31, 2012. With the payment of
this Final installment of Secured Loan your company has been able to
release all encumbered assets.
Your company is at a strategic inflection point and we see an
opportunity for transformational growth in its business and your
Directors are in the process of putting in place a new growth strategy
for your company.
The year under review was a difficult year for your company. While the
Sales grew by 6% during year moving up to Rs. 10.29 Crores, the profits
have fallen by 25% year on year to Rs. 42.86 Lakhs. The dip in profits
was essentially due to the one time hit taken in the year for settling
all outstanding secured creditors, and the interest payments due on the
loans.
Your Directors were on the path to clear off all creditors to set the
stage for a new beginning, and we are happy to confirm that your
company is set to move forward in the right direction.
Business during the fiscal 2012 was good as your company won large
value orders from the Cotton Corporation of India, Khadi Board and
export orders from our long standing customers in Saudi Arabia.
In keeping with the stated objectives of supporting the growth through
large value orders, your Directors have planned investments into new
plant & machinery to manufacture Wider Width Canvas and put in place
related In-house Dyeing & Processing facilities for manufacturing &
processing canvas fabrics of up to 120 inches width. Your Directors are
delighted to inform you that your company would be the FIRST in India
to set up processing facilities for such large width fabric. The new
facility should be commissioned by the end of the second quarter of the
current fiscal 2013.
Having put in place the right team and investments into the canvas
fabrics business, your Directors have decided to diversify into new
areas to support the planned growth. Several products have been
evaluated for this purpose including setting up a line for
manufacturing PVC Foam boards, HDPE Tarpaulins, and Flex banner fabric.
Your Directors have completed a thorough study of market for each of
these products and have worked with Consultants from these industries
to get deeper insights into these product
segments.
Your Directors are happy to inform that a decision has been taken to
diversify into the manufacture of Flex banner fabric, which are in huge
demand, are an import substitute and can help save precious forex for
India. Your Directors have submitted a detailed project plan to
appropriate authorities and evaluating agencies and have proposed
enabling resolutions for such investments to progress these proposals
forward.
Your Directors are confident of achieving exponential growth in
