155.93 crores, an increase of 31% over prior year and net profit of Rs.
10.21 crores, an increase of 250% over prior year. The Profits from

the Company had turned positive as at 30th June 2011, This year, as at
30th June 2012 the Company has been able to wipe off completely the
accumulated losses as well. This turnaround was possible because of
the Company''s successful restructuring of its business while
implementing the rehabilitation scheme sanctioned by the Hon''ble BIFR.
The turnover from sewing business accounted for 98% of the total
turnover achieved during the year ended 30*1 June 2012 which increased
by 30% compared to Rs. 117.9 crores during the pervious year. The
Company will continue its strategy to augment its core business by
expansion in the unrepresented weaker territories and focusing on high

be enhanced in these area. The Company has reentered the small
appliances business and recorded a turnover of Rs. 3.07 crores in
2011-12. This business will be further expanded in the coming years.
The increased volumes and cost management helped to maintain healthy
profits in spite of pressure on margins due to competition. Considering
the certainty of realizing the tax benefits on the unabsorbed tax
depreciation in future, the Company has created a deferred tax asset
amounting to Rs. 1.4 crores as on 30n June 2012. The Company has also
resumed paying taxes (Minimum Alternate Tax) as applicable from June
15,2012.
