 Operations Textile Units
 
 The expansion and modernization project of the company''s
 manufacturing facilities which were undertaken in 2006-08 could not be
 fully utilized as the completion of the expansion coincided with global
 meltdown & recessionary market conditions. Demand for direct export and
 from garment manufacturers remained subdued during the period due to
 downward trend in the domestic as well as international markets.
 
 High Cotton Prices, during the last procurement season of cotton the
 prices which went as high as Rs 62500 per candy from Rs 35000 per candy
 due to pre-mature announcement of cotton exports and other factors. The
 prices suddenly crashed to a level of Rs 32000 per candy. The
 fluctuation of cotton prices led to high cost cotton getting stuck with
 the mills and losses on account of rupee devaluation hit by the
 company. It affected even the entire industry. Against the huge
 increase in the prices of cotton, and other inputs the selling prices
 increased marginally during this period, thus leading to strain on the
 overall margins.
 
 - The company is having 19.5 MW in house rice-husk based power
 plants. The rates of rice husk have been abnormally high this year.
 
 - The company incurred operational cash losses during the financial
 year 2008-09 to 2011-12 and continued to service interest and repayment
 of debts to the lenders despite losses which resulted in further
 erosion of working capital and lower capacity utilization.
 
 In Sriganganagar unit, the operations were discontinued in earlier
 years. The sale of Land is pending due to mutation and is under
 disposal. The company is taking steps to get the mutation formalities
 completed.
 
 Financial problems:
 
 In light of the scenario, as explained above, owing to marketing
 difficulties, the profitability of the Textile operations took a sharp
 dip during the said period. Cotton prices went up by almost 40%.  The
 Government of India on realizing the liquidity crunch being faced by
 Textile Sector had given two years moratorium on the loans taken by
 companies under TUF scheme. However, the interest on these loans had to
 be serviced. Consequently in this situation the earnings which had gone
 negative on account of low capacity utilization, the company ended up
 paying interest to the Banks out of working capital. This situation led
 to the erosion of working capital.
 
 Now that the fabric demand has again picked up, most Textile Companies
 of the country are running their Plants at full capacity.  Inspite of
 the order-book being comfortable, full capacity utilization your
 Company continues to be elusive on account of working capital
 constraints.
 
 Government policies:
 
 In the year 2010-11 the policy of Government of India for allowing and
 thereafter banning export of cotton resulted textile industry incurring
 huge losses. Steps initiated by the company:
 
 - The company has since expanded its customer base and has gone
 deeper with the existing customers to fully secure its production
 capacities. The company in these years, focused, especially on
 work-wear and sportswear segments.
 
 - The company has been very guarded in covering cotton in the current
 season. We are now not only keeping track of cotton future in India but
 also in New York Exchange.
 
 - The company has taken several power saving initiatives, which will
 cover a part of husk price hike.
 
 Filament Unit
 
 JCT continues to maintain its position as one of the largest Textile
 Grade Nylon yarn manufacturer in India with installed capacity of
 14,000 TPA. During the year the company sold -11211 MT of filament yarn
 & 696 MT of nylon chips as compared to 11,496 MT of filament yarn and
 741 MT of nylon chips during the previous year.  The continuous upward
 trend in prices of Caprolactum has been a major concern for the
 company. The Caprolactum prices increased from average of Rs 104.49 kg
 in FY 2010 to Rs 139.67 kg in FY 2011 an increase of 34% against it the
 average realisation increase of only 23% from Rs 217.29 kg to Rs 268.09
 kg. The capacity of the market to absorb prices is limited as weavers
 start moving to other type of yarns.
 
 The company has made a major shift in the product mix where the
 dependability on yarn sold in Surat market has been shifted to yarn
 being sold in Amritsar and Mau markets. The change is very significant
 as LOY base 20 Mono Yarn is less prone to market fluctuation and has a
 much higher margin.
 
 Finance
 
 During the year, the company redeemed Zero Rate Debentures (ZRDs) of
 Rs. 26.23 lakhs, Optionally Partially Convertible Preference Shares
 (OPCPS) of Rs. 22.49 lakhs and repaid term loan installments of
 Rs.2471.23 lakhs as per stipulated terms.  In certain cases of loans,
 debentures and Optionally Partially Convertible Preference Shares
 (OPCPS) which became due for repayment/ redemption during the year,
 there were delays in servicing the debt obligations due to liquidity
 constraints.
 
 Corporate Debt Restructuring
 
 The company had filed its proposal for restructuring its debt through
 CDR Mechanism in January 2012, which was admitted by the Corporate Debt
 Restructuring Empowered Group (CDR EG) on 24th February 2012. Further,
 the company received a Letter of Approval bearing Number BY.CDR/(PMJ)
 No 685/2012- 13 dated 21st September 2012 from the CDR EG approving the
 Restructuring Package which, inter-alia includes Protection to Lenders
 for loss on NPV basis, Reduction in Rate of Interest, Reschedulement of
 Repayment of Term Loans, Carving out Working Capital Term Loan from
 Working Capital Limits, Sanction of Need Based Additional Working
 Capital, Issuance of equity shares to lenders for part of their
 sacrifices on NPV basis and provision of fresh funding by the
 promoters. The implementation of the scheme is under progress.
 
 Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs)
 
 The Company could not redeem the Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds
 (FCCBs) on due date 08.04.2011 for paucity of cash funds. The Company
 is taking steps to restructure/ extend the maturity of the FCCBs. The
 Company is in disccussions with the majority of Bondholders to
 restructure and their response is positive. For restructuring of FCCBs,
 shareholders'' approval is also being sought at the forthcoming Annual
 General Meeting. In the meantime, the Bank of New York Mellon, the
 Trustee of such FCCB holders has filed a winding up petition against
 the Company before the Hon''ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana,
 Chandigarh, which is pending hearing/disposal. In the light of on going
 talks with some of the major Bondholders and the merit of the petition,
 the company does not anticipate any adverse outcome.
 
 Net Worth Erosion
 
 The accumulated losses of the company at the end of financial year 31st
 March, 2012 have resulted in erosion of more than fifty percent of its
 peak net worth during the immediately preceding four financial years.
 While the company is taking necessary steps to protect further erosion,
 the Company will report to the Board for Industrial and Financial
 Reconstruction about such erosion of net worth as envisaged under
 Section 23 of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act,
 1985 forthwith upon finalization of the duly audited accounts of the
 Company for the financial year ended 31st March, 2012. Shareholders are

 on 31st March, 2012. Of the above, deposits of Rs. 5.18 lakhs have been
