 YEAR IN RETROSPECT
 
 The financial highlights reflect yet another strong performance for your
 Company at all levels. Your Company manufactures polyester blended
 suitings, worsted suitings and workwear fabric, home textiles and
 ready-to-wear garments. Both domestic as well as international
 businesses reported substantial improvement in overall performance,
 driven by strong volumes and higher price realization. A customer-led
 design-centric and distinct approach for each business division has
 enabled the Company to register positive growth. A comprehensive and
 well-diversified portfolio of brands catering to all price-categories
 from economy to the luxury segment has de-risked the business and
 yielded results.
 
 The distinct strategic approach adopted by each of the Company''s
 Strategic Business Units (SBUs), supported by a proficient operating
 model has proven effective in driving growth. A clear focus on creating
 a diversified brand portfolio catering to all the socio-economic
 segments and expanding its global footprint, with the strategic
 acquisition of international brands has begun to yield results for the
 Company. Vertically integrated operations, an expanding distribution
 network and successful brand positioning have driven growth during the
 year. A strong brand portfolio of 45 owned and licensed brands which
 includes international names such as Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey
 Freeman, Exclusively Misook, Austin Reed, Jag Jeans, Bobby Jones and
 DKNY further leverages SKNL''s leadership position as a branded player
 in the apparel business.
 
 In particular, Belmonte and Reid & Taylor brands performed well, while
 Ready-to-Wear and Luxury Cotton witnessed strong volume growth. Post
 commencement of operations, the Baruche Super Fine Cottons (BSFC)
 facility is performing satisfactorily.  Our economy brand World Player
 launched during the year has been well received and the Company is
 optimistic that it will deliver healthy volume as it expands its market
 reach and penetration.
 
 The Company is a market leader in Uniforms with 30% market share and is
 the second largest player in Worsted Suitings. It is one of the largest
 institutional suppliers of textiles to defence and police forces in
 India.
 
 The Consumer Textiles Division reported consistent growth over a period
 of time, mainly attributed to Belmonte which has increased its market
 penetration.
 
 The growth in Luxury Textiles was on account of higher realizations
 from both polyester-wool and polyester-viscose fabrics.  During the
 year, the Company expanded weaving capacities which helped improve
 overall operations and Profitability. The increased capacities also
 enabled to capture the strong demand witnessed in this segment.
 
 The Ready-to-Wear Division comprising apparel and garments under the
 brands Reid & Taylor, Belmonte, Stephens Brothers and World Player has
 witnessed remarkable progress. Ready-to-Wear is the fastest growing
 segment and has reported volumes expansion in all product categories.
 
 The Luxury Cotton Division is represented by the 12.75 million meters
 per annum state-of-the-art BSFC facility at Jhagadia, Gujarat. It
 commenced operations and gradually scaled up capacity utilization as
 the year ended. Going forward, as the facility reaches optimum capacity
 utilization, it is expected to register higher margins in line with
 expanding volumes.
 
 The Total Home Expressions Division reported a growth of around 10.5%.
 Growth in this category has been stable, with the improving demand
 scenario.
 
 Celebrity endorsements helped to strengthen the Company''s diversified
 portfolio of well-recognised brands.
 
 Your Company has since extended its presence overseas to the Europe and
 North American markets expanding its brand portfolio and catering to
 various price points, socio economic segments and age groups. The
 Company has manufacturing units located in India, Italy, UK, USA and
 Canada with cost-effective outsourcing.
 
 Your management is pleased with the progress of our international
 subsidiaries post their acquisitions. International revenues grew
 remarkably by 86.6% to Rs. 1,333 Crores in FY2011. EBITDA amounted to
 Rs. 47 Crores as compared to Rs. 9.7 Crores for FY2010 and EBITDA
 margins improved by 221 bps to 3.6%. During the year, we have revamped
 HMX''s business model by streamlining operations, following a
 brand-oriented approach and initiated synergies with domestic
 businesses. HMX boasts of an impressive line-up of brands providing for
 tremendous growth potential. The Company is also a leader in formal
 wear in North America with Coppley, Hart Schaffner Marx and Hickey
 Freeman. Through global acquisitions, the Company gained 37 brands
 across the premium and super-premium segments of the apparel market
 with a distribution network of large departmental and specialty stores.
 These acquisitions also facilitate transfer of technical know-how for
 high value shirting and garmenting.  Our Italian subsidiary Leggiuno,
 has benefitted from the implementation of backward-forward integration
 with the BSFC facility.  The joint venture with DKNY for its global
 menswear license has unfolded a tremendous opportunity, which is
 expected to drive growth through geographic expansion. Globally, there
 are visible signs of improvement, and recovery of retail segment in the
 North American markets will provide necessary stimulus to the sector.
 The management is confident that the overseas businesses would register
 improved volumes and Profitability over the years to come.
 
 On the sectorial front, the industry witnessed an unprecedented
 increase in the raw material prices, which elevated margin pressure
 across product categories. SKNL being a branded player was successful
 in passing the additional cost to the consumer and maintained
 Profitability levels. During the year, the Company realized higher
 prices by about 8%-10% and bookings enhanced by 20%, thereby mitigating
 the risk associated with increased input prices. In the Union Budget
 2011-2012, a mandatory excise duty of 10% was imposed on branded
 readymade garments (to be paid on 45% of the retail sales price). The
 Company expects to pass on this price hike to consumers as well.
 
 EXPORTS
 
 There is very strong demand from both domestic and overseas markets and
 to that extent the textile industry in India can really be a force to
 reckon with globally. Though your Company is predominantly a domestic
 player, it was able to achieve good growth in exports to Rs. 68.50
 Crores (previous year Rs. 10.90 Crores.). Additionally, exports from
 the company''s subsidiary Reid & Taylor (India) Ltd. rose to Rs. 42.47
 Crores (previous year Rs. 29.07 Crores). These figures include exports
 of fabrics worth approx Rs. 6.85 Crores to our subsidiaries HMX (USA)
 and Leggiuno (Italy). Our products comprising mainly cotton fabrics,
 wool and wool-rich blends were exported to countries around the world
 including Europe, Far East, Middle East, South-East Asia, USA, South
 and Central America. The outlook for the current year is encouraging.
 
 CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND PLANS
 
 The Indian textile industry is expected to grow significantly due to
 rise in income levels. Going forward, the management is confident about
 SKNL''s prospects. Strong synergies between domestic and international
 business through ''back-end front-end'' model, enhanced distribution
 network, a comprehensive portfolio of 45 brands addressing all
 demographic segments, vertically and laterally integrated businesses,
 seamless supply chain and presence across the value chain have provided
 for a strong foundation to deliver healthy growth over the years to
 come.
 
 In March 2010, the Company launched ''Baruche'' under the premium
 category of the Luxury Cotton segment. In April 2010, the Company
 launched the ''World Player'' ready-to-wear brand catering to the economy
 segment. World Player is expected to be rolled out across an additional
 560 districts and its nationwide rollout is expected to be completed
 over the next few quarters.  World Player and Baruche brands are
 expected to make higher contributions in the coming month.
 
 The Company plans to introduce a new casual premium brand for the
 fashionably inclined: ''Kruger'' (clothing for ''out of office''
 wear/weekend wear) to capture market share in the segment.
 
 The Company plans to leverage its strong brand portfolio and expand its
 retail network in India through exclusive brand outlets largely in the
 tier 1 & 2 cities. With positive consumer sentiment towards all its
 brands, the Company is expecting increased market penetration. We
 anticipate healthy demand for the textiles and apparel industry in
 India driven by growth in organized retailing, increasing consumerism,
 expanding middle class and heightened brand consciousness among the
 youth. SKNL is well- positioned to capitalize on these industry
 developments through its market leadership position. The Company has
 taken several strategic initiatives over the past including synergies
 with international subsidiaries, presence in high margin businesses,
 vertical integration of operations and effective brand positioning
 which will help it deliver an enhanced overall performance in FY2012.
 
 Future revenue growth drivers include rollout of 160 additional
 exclusive brand outlets to expand its distribution network, and
 expansion of franchisee networks, setting up of a suits factory, and a
 shirts factory to improve margins by offering readymade products,
 scaling up capacity utilization at BSFC and capacity expansion in
 luxury and mid-premium textiles.
 
 On account of the various initiatives detailed above, the Company
 expects
 
 1.  to capture more value from direct retailing
 
 2.  backward and forward integration in Luxury Cottons and Belmonte
 divisions
 
 3.  increased share of ready-to-wear in revenue composition (target 40%
 in coming two years)
 
 4.  scaling up the value chain in all brands.
