PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Your Directors are glad to report that performance of the Company
during the year has been impressive, led by strong demand from
international as well as domestic markets. Your Companys business was
adversely affected during 2008-09 global financial crisis. However, as
reported in the previous Directors Report, the Company witnessed
upswing in consumer demand for textile products from second half of
Fiscal 2009-10. This was possible as many of the global economies
progressed commendably, sooner than expected, leading to revival of
textile industry.
Total revenues of your company for the year increased to Rs.148.93
crores from Rs.123.05 crores. Operating Profit and Cash Profit improved
to Rs.18.67 crores and Rs.11.20 crores from Rs.11.17 crores and Rs.3.57
crores respectively in the previous year. At net level, there was a
remarkable turn around with Profit before Tax at Rs.4.71 crores as
against a loss of Rs.3.21 crores in the previous year. The year was
marked with excessive volatility in cotton prices which peaked to
historical high owing to shortfall in crop in many of the cotton
growing countries. However, your managements core competency in
procurement of cotton helped the Company in judicious and timely buying
of raw material. As a result, while the cotton cost could be averaged
out, margins could be improved through yarn prices which remained
higher in line with cotton prices. The performance could have been
still better but for loss of production during negotiation of long term
work load and wages agreement which was concluded with workmen during
January 2011.
