MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The year 2010-11 was an exceptional year for the whole world as it was
faced with huge surge in world commodity prices with the Commodity
Index surging more than 42% during the year. This gave rise to supply
side inflation and thereby raising interest rates in India. As a
result, the earning growth is expected to be hit in the current fiscal.
This phenomenon is evident now and the cotton & polyester price
currently have fallen by almost 40% from their peak in 2010-11.
Your Company could not optimize the utilization of production
facilities due to finance constraints. The Company increased job-work
activity to improve the capacity utilization. Simultaneously, it took
all- round steps for cost cutting. All this led to improving the
margins as compared to 2009-10 and your company has been able to almost
reach to EBIDTA Break-even at operating level.
The Company has approached the bankers of the company for restructuring
of loans under CDR mechanism. The Company has also identified an
investor who is willing to infuse funds for augmenting the working of
the Company and also for completing the unfinished ring spinning
project. We are hopeful that once the CDR package is approved and fresh
money is infused, your Company should be back on recovery path. The
prices of raw material viz. cotton and polyester have come down to
reasonable levels leaving comfortable margins for the mills.
MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION OF RISK AND CONCERN
One of the key challenge to the textile industry is related to raw
material prices mainly cotton prices which has seen very steep hike in
2010-11and the same is still volatile creating uncertainties for
textile manufacturers.
The second important challenge is rising energy prices which could
adversely impact the profitability of textile mills. The third main
issue for the textile industry is the non- availability of skilled
manpower coupled with high labour cost prevailing in the country.
Uncertainty in the government export policy is other major challenge
for the textile industry under which the government banned cotton yarn
exports last year which lead to high inventory cost and losses to the
Indian textiles manufacturers and there is a fear of duty draw back
benefits etc. to the exporters.
We are making all efforts to cope up with the challenges through
continuous cost reduction, process improvements, imparting training to
the workforce on the continued basis, process improvements and improved
customer services to mitigate the growing cost pressure.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The Company has well defined internal control system commensurate to
the size and nature of its business. The Company takes abundant care
to design, review and monitor the working of internal control system
for optimal utilization and protection of resources. All significant
issues are brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the
Board.

organization climate based on human performance. Performance management
