Performance
During the year under review, your company achieved a sales turnover of
Rs.1215 lakhs compared to the sales turnover of Rs.3406 lakhs achieved
in the previous year. The steep drop in sales turnover during the
current year can be attributed to non operating unit-l from
November''2011 onwards mainly on account of power problems, obsolete
machinery and non availability of labours. The Industry also faced
severe recession during the year due to change in Government policies
with respect to yarn exports which led to steep drop in yarn
realization compared to increasing cotton prices and non availability
of working capital. The Company made Cash loss of Rs.453 lakhs for the
financial year as against the Cash Profit of Rs.27 lakhs in the
previous year. The company made net loss of Rs.559 lakhs for the
financial year, as against net loss of Rs.81 lakhs for the previous
year. The profit was drastically affected due to steep increase in cost
of raw materials and power and low production caused by shortage of
working capital and stiff competition in the market.
Dividend
The Company incurred loss in the financial year. In view of this and
the accumulated loss, your directors are unable to recommend any
dividend for the year. Your Directors are confident that, barring
unforeseen circumstances, the company will wipe out the accumulated
loss in a few years and start paying dividend thereafter.
Prospects and Future Plans
The year 2011-12 was a worst year for the Textile Industry. There was
steep increase in cost of raw materials and power, which mainly pushed
up the production cost. Production was low due to lack of working
capital and poor off take in the market caused by stiff competition.
Profit dwindled and performance resulted in loss due to lower selling
prices and the cumulative effect of all factors mentioned above. The
Government''s policy is not conducive to existence and growth of
Textile Industry and the prospects are quite uncertain. Further, the
existing plant and machinery of the company are old and have become
less efficient, compared to new modern machines. The position and
prospects of textile industry being most uncertain, it is not
worthwhile replacing the existing plant and machinery with new modern
machinery incurring huge cost. Your directors are, therefore, seriously
contemplating to delve into new lines of activities, within the Objects
of the company, so as to improve profit, for the benefit of the
shareholders. At the same time, till concrete plans crystallize, your
Directors will continue to run the company with the existing plant and
machinery in the best possible ways so as to improve performance in the
current year.
