Financial Review
As there was no new business done during the year, there was no income
from the operations.
Operations Review
As you are kindly aware that the Knitted Socks meet the basic
necessities of all ages and the income strata is Knitted Socks.
Socio-economic changes and fashion awareness amongst the masses have
brought in a sea change in the living styles in India. The use of socks
by the armed forces fighting in high altitude and in adverse climatic
conditions has now been finding its ways among executives and school
children. Wearing of any kind of shoes without socks is termed as
incomplete. Our unit has been established for the production of Knitted
Socks with an annual installed capacity of 5.00 lakh Decca pairs per
annum with a product mix including Comfort, Travel, Support, Running,
Jogging, walking or simply trotting to meet the needs of people with
lifestyle-related afflictions. The Knitted Socks Products are
manufactured with Korean State-of-Art Technology to meet the worldwide
requirement. The Machinery employed is imported from renowned
Manufacturers of Korea. The net-worth was eroded and consequently it
was declared a sick industrial company by the Honble Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (for short BIFR) u/s 3(1)(o)
of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 on
20.02.2001 in Reference Case No222/2000. In the said proceedings, SBH
was originally appointed as the Operating Agency (OA) u/s 17(3) of
SICA. However, the Honble Board after having satisfied that the OA had
acted with a biased attitude appointed BOB on 4.3.2003 as the OA u/s.17
(3) of the Act to review and formulate the revised DRS of the Company.
The unit is not operational since May 2002 for want of Working Capital
support.
Revival Efforts
Your Directors succeeded in identifying a potential Investor for
infusion of funds to revive the unit with buy back arrangement of the
entire production. The Company is having two Secured creditors being
Bank of Baroda and State Bank of Hyderabad The Company had also reached
a compromised OTS with Bank of Baroda on 03.09.2007 towards full &
final settlement of dues and had arranged down payment of Rs.30 Lakhs
on 09.06.2008. The Company had also reached a compromised OTS with
Assignment holders of State Bank of Hyderabad and issues related to the
Charged Documents are yet to be settled. The investors as they are keen
to revive the unit and have called on both IARC and ASREC along with
the MD of the Company and requested to sort out the issues related to
the Charged Documents. They were also appraised on the present
political agitated situation on Telangana and the proposal of One Time
Settlement is under the consideration by them. Meanwhile IARC had
invoked the SARFACEI Act and the Honble AAIFR had passed orders that
are arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the provisions of the SICA as
amended by the SARFAESI Act. Aggrieved by these illegal acts, the
Company had filed a Writ Petition before the Honble AP High Court to
set aside the same and restore the reference to the BIFR and the same
was stayed.
Future Prospects
The demand for the socks has been increasing gradually for the last few
decades particularly in India and other developing countries. The
largest consumer of socks is the Europeans and Western countries who
have been using this item as part of their dresses for a very long
period. The European and Western countries have been producing socks,
from where these items used to be imported into India and other
countries. The socks industry has a very bright future as its demand
both in India and abroad has increased substantially. In fact, the
Hosiery Knitwear Sector is zooming with the new EXIM Policy and
increase in demand from US markets. The Vision Statement has projected
an increase in the size of the industry from USD 36 billion in 2002 to
USD 100 billion by 2012 and that exports will reach a level of at least
USD 50 billion by 2010. The increases in exports and the size of the
industry are projected to boost employment opportunities in the
industry and provide 12 million additional jobs. In view of this the
Company is confident of serving new markets with higher profitability
on its revival
