The performance of the Company for the year has not been very encouraging as the markets did not support and the off-take of the company's products also slowed down resulting in sluggish sales.

The Company is a referred company under the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act, 1985 (SICA) and the process of registering the same in the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) is under way. The notices in respect of the same have already been issued to all the stakeholders.

The company's main stay i.e. Silk Textiles have undergone sea change in terms of tapering of demand on a year-to-year basis. As compared to the previous year the sale of silk products have come down by more than 15% - 18%. The resultant gap created is filled by low-end products fetching a very meager realization. Your company in spite of all the hardships and difficulties in the market has been diligently introducing new designs and new blends and also exploring new markets.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Highlights of performance during the financial year 2013-14 are:

- Total Revenue from Operation of the Company is Rs. 7,962.76 lacs as against Rs. 7,586.10 lacs in the previous year.

- Operating Profit / (Loss) is Rs. (11,771.01) lacs as against Rs. (9,759.52) lacs in the previous year.

- Profit / (Loss) before taxation is Rs. (13,338.53) lacs as against Rs. (11,541.69) lacs in the previous year.

- Profit / (Loss) after Tax is Rs. (13,644.74) lacs as against ofRs. (9,535.91) lacs in the previous year.

The Company has incurred substantial losses and the same was compounded due to debiting of the interest for the past for Working Capital and Term Loan for modernization coupled with bad markets resulting in poor sales.

Further the year ended 31.03.2014 the net worth of the Company has eroded and the Company has become Sick Industrial Company as per the provisions of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act, 1985 (SICA) and the Company is required to make reference with the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR). Necessary compliances will be made in accordance with the provision of SICA.

The markets, in which the Company operates, are undergoing serious stagflation. In spite of the Company''s best efforts to increase its share in the market in Europe and US, have faced serious resistance. Your Company has more or less achieved the same level of operations by introducing new products, new designs and new blends. Wherever offtake in the market is low, the customers/buyers are demanding more performance from the suppliers. This cycle of market phenomena is being faced by us also. On standalone basis without considering any interest and depreciation, there is a small surplus during the year.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The outlook of the economic growth across the globe with positive vibrations will fuel a growth and demand recovery. At the present moment there is a lull in the market and the management is looking forward for changing situation in the global market. While optimism rears for new vigour and thrust like emphasis on colourways and new designs, it is expected these changes will bring in positive response from the overseas buyers and will trigger growth and profitability in due course of time.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The demand for silk fabrics and made-ups tapered down both in Europe market and US market leading to lower sales during the year. To make up for the volume loss in the silk, the Company had to resort to polyester, cotton, viscose and other blended fabric. Although the volumes remain the same but the realization per unit came down considerably which resulted in lower profit margin. The Company''s stand alone operation without considering interest and depreciation left small positive cash surplus. The interest in the carry over debts could not be absorbed because of the lower turnover and stiff competition in the market in spite of the management''s best efforts.

The conditions stipulated under the CDR mechanism which is to be complied within 31.03.2013, were duly complied and the promoters infused a sum of? 740.00 lakhs as their contribution.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Going forward unless there is a recovery in the overseas markets for the demand for silk fabrics and garments, the future outlook for the time being looks bleak. However, the management is trying to change the product mix and lot of emphasis is made on new designs and colourways. It is expected that these changes will bring in additional business and also improve the bottom line. Limited success has come in the supplies made in the domestic market and we are expecting it to grow gradually over the years.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

As a consequence of downsizing of the business as decided last year, the sales and processing income during the year was Rs 8952.29 lacs which is not comparable with that of the last year. The net loss for the year was Rs 9160.43 lacs.

The proposal for restructuring of debts under CDR mechanism was approved by CDR Empowered Group at their meeting held on 20/12/2011. The conditions as put forth in the Letter of Approval of CDR have been complied with by the Management and a sum of Rs 734 lacs has been brought in by the Promoters and infused in the Company.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Although the sales and processing income during the year increased to Rs.62892.52 lacs as against Rs.54393.09 lacs of the previous year, profitability came down considerably due to high cost of raw materials, increased interest rates, pressure on margin due to recession in overseas markets resulting in loss during the year. Your management had to take a decision for reworking of valuation of the closing stock of finished goods due to lower realization and a sum of Rs.34.70 crores was written off during the year for lower realization in the value of stocks. This also increased the loss for the year. It was also decided to downsize the business and only concentrate on profit making products and do away with products with no margin or lower margin.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The budget proposal for the year 2011-12 has rendered outsourcing business of the Company totally unprofitable. Your management have decided to do away outsourcing business and only concentrate on the in-house production facilities which will result in a turnover of approx. Rs.150 crores a year. With this change the benefits of the new modernization and expansion programme undertaken during the year for production of velvet fabrics and enhancing capacity of the embroidered fabrics may be reaped during the year.

SinrP the Company's turnover would be Rs.150 crores, there will be considerable release of current assets the value of which will be untocked in a staggered manner over the years. To service the bank loans the Company has filed a flash report of Corporate Debt Restructuring with the CDR Empowered Committee and the same has been admitted for appraisal by the Committee. The scheme envisages a period of 8 -10 years to bring back the Company on a strong foothold.

DIVIDEND

In view of the accumulated losses the Board of Directors does not recommend any dividend on Equity Shares. The Board of Directors does not also declare dividend on Redeemable Cumulative Preference Shares.

PUBLIC DEPOSIT SCHEME

During the year, your Company has not accepted any deposits. There are no outstanding deposits as on date.
