 PERFORMANCE:
 
 During the year under review, your company has achieved Net Sales and
 Other Income of Rs 158.44 crores as compared to previous year''s Net
 Sales and Other Income of 220.72 crores. The Loss before Interest,
 Depreciation and Tax was Rs 2.98 crores for the FY 2011-12 as compared
 to Profit before Interest, Depreciation and Tax (PBDIT) of Rs 7.93
 crores for the previous FY 2010-11. The Cash Loss (Loss before
 Depreciation) was Rs 13.19 crores for the FY 2011-12 as compared to Cash
 Profit of Rs 0.18 crores for the previous FY 2010-11. The net loss
 during the year under review was Rs 18.57 crores as compared to net loss
 of Rs 5.87 crores for the previous year of the company. The operations
 of the company are influenced from change in prices of raw materials,
 fuel prices, lower demand of yarn as well as lower rate of sales
 realization due to excess supply over demand resulting in to overall
 lower sales and capacity utilisation etc.
 
 PRESENT COURSE OF BUSINESS AND OUTLOOK:
 
 The Management''s discussion and analysis report, as required under
 corporate governance, forming a part of this report, is a reflection of
 the current state of business. It also deals with the opportunities and
 threats faced by your company and the company outlook.
 
 The Prospect of synthetic yarn industries is linked with the movement
 of crude oil prices in international market as the raw material of
 synthetic yarn are derivatives of crude oil. One of the events that
 have dominated the world map right from the beginning of 2011 is the
 political uproar in the Middle East and North African region. The
 fallout of the event was a sudden and steep rise in the price of crude
 oil.
 
 However the prospect of chips plant based on old aged batch processing
 technology are bleak in view of high conversion cost and competition
 arisen from creation of huge capacity from new plants based on
 continuous process technology. To overcome the said situation, the
 management of your company decided to purchase chips directly from the
 market. In view of the same, poly chips plant remained idle during the
 year under review. Though the management had further explored the
 possibility of modernization of the chips plant and also of
 manufacturing other than textile grade of chips in this plant but the
 same was not materalised as the banks have reservations for further
 financing in view of delay in split of bank facilities between two
 companies and continuous losses.
 
 DEMERGER
 
 To give further effect to the Scheme of Arrangement in the nature of
 Demerger, your Company executed fresh documents with banks for
 splitting the existing limits between Demerged and Resultant companies
 in accordance with the approved Scheme of Demerger.
 
 Further, inter se transfer of shares of the company between two
 promoter groups were also partly completed to implement the said scheme
 of demerger.
 
 RESTRUCTURING OF BANK DUES UNDER CDR MECHANISM:
 
 As the members are aware, the Company has taken considerable finance
 from banking institutions, secured by the assets of the Company. In
 view of losses incurred by the company, the CDR and Banks while
 approving restructuring and also demerger have stipulated that the
 unsecured loan from Promoters group/associates be converted in to
 capital so that TNW remain positive all the time. In turn your company
 had applied to Stock Exchanges for in-principle approval for
 preferential issue of Equity shares. However in view of SEBI order
 dated 12.01.2010 restraining the company to access capital market for
 two years, same could not be complied with so far. The banks will have
 right to recompense in respect of waivers/sacrifice made by them for
 restructured debts under CDR mechanism.
 
 DIVIDEND:
 
 Due to loss incurred by the Company during the year 2011-12 coupled
 with accumulated losses, your directors regret their inability to
 recommend any dividend on the Equity Share Capital.
 
 DIRECTORS:
 
 The Board of Directors of the Company was reconstituted due to sad
 demise of an independent director Shri R.C. Jain on 3rd April, 2011.

 Director during the year under review. Pursuant to the provisions of
 Section 260 of the Companies Act,1956, the term of office of Shri

 conclusion of 18th Annual General Meeting.

 experience of Shri Piyush R. Vyas Accordingly, the Board had proposed
 to the members of the Company to appoint him as regular director on the
 Board liable to retire by rotation in 18th Annual General Meeting held
 on 30th September,2011. Shri Piyush R. Vyas was appointed as a director
 liable to retire by rotation by members of the company in 18th Annual
 General Meeting held on 30th September,2011. However, due to his ill
 health, he resigned as a director on the board w.e.f. 20th June, 2012.

 company during his tenure as director.
