DIRECTORS' REPORT & MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Dear Shareholders, Your Directors have the pleasure of presenting the Sixty-ninth Annual Report on the business and operations of the Company, together with the Audited Statements of Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2015. Review of Operations Your Company achieved turnover of Rs.127.55 crore as compared to Rs.181.51 crore in the previous year. The decline in turnover was primarily on account of lower capacity utilization, over supply situation in the domestic market and lower demand growth. Our focus on operational efficiency with better working capital management and better network helped us to remain competitive and improve our EBIDTA. Profit before interest, depreciation and tax was higher at Rs.5.54 crore as compared to Rs.4.36 crore thereby registering a growth of about 27%. The profit after tax was also higher at Rs.2.56 crore as compared to the profit of Rs.1.16 crore in the previous year. During the FY 2014-15, your Company faced several challenges. Crude prices saw a sharp decline which triggered reduction in prices of PTA and MEG prices. This resulted in inventory losses. Moreover, demand for polyester was subdued in the domestic as well as global markets. The operating margins were adversely affected owing to oversupply of finished product, more particularly in polyester chips and yarn segments resulting in lower margins and capacity utilization. The sale of chips was lower at 9034 MT for the year 2014-15 as compared to 13064 MT in the previous year. The total sale of polyester filament yarn (PFY) was lower at 1861 MT as compared to 3429 MT in the previous year. The overall production of Chips was at 10062 MT during the year 2014-15 as compared to 15363 MT achieved in the previous year. Whereas the production of PFY during the year remained lower at 1682 MT as compared to 3314 MT in the previous year. The Company had to curtail the production during the year due to volatility of raw material prices and to reduce the inventory loss. Your Company also focused on margin improvement by optimum allocation of its resources through cost reduction at manufacturing level. The operating margins, however, remained under pressure. The Company during the last quarter of the FY 2014-15 discontinued the manufacturing activity at its Synthetic Fibre Spinning (SFS) plant at Village Vareli, Taluka Palsana, Dist. Surat, which had become unviable due to competitive market conditions Dividend In order to strengthen the reserves of the Company, your directors consider it prudent to plough back the profits and not to recommend any dividend for the financial year 2014-15. Transfer to Reserve It is not proposed to transfer any amount to reserves out of the profits earned during the financial year 2014-15. Nature of Business The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing polyester chips and differentiated partially oriented yarn (POY). The Company is a regular supplier of bright, cationic, micro denier, and fine denier yarns in the market. During the year under review, there was no change in the nature of business of the Company.

Indian Economy & Industry Scenario According to the latest world economic outlook of IMF, India will surpass China in terms of growth to become the fastest growing large economy in the world. The Mid-year update of the UN World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP), related recently said, India's economy is projected to grow by 7.6 per cent this year and 7.7 per cent in 2016, overtaking China. China is projected to grow by 7 per cent in 2015 and 6.8 per cent next year. India's growth is expected to be at least 8 per cent in the current financial year on account of initiative taken by the government to boost investment and growth. With India's economy mostly domestic driven, internal risks far outweigh external risks. The Indian economy is showing signs of turnaround. The Indian economy is coming out of some tough times in recent years with a steep decline in growth, stubbornly high inflation and a wide current account deficit, but the situation is now improving. Key reforms in the business environment, to labour market and to infrastructure will bring economic growth back to the higher levels seen in the recent past, create good jobs and improve well-being for all Indians. While lower crude oil prices would ensure saving on input cost like MEG and PTA, which are the derivatives of crude oil, the poor demand is likely to restrict revenue growth. Stronger rupee against most other currencies over the previous year will negatively impact the international operations like export of goods / import of raw materials. Polyester markets faced challenges during the year because of raw material price volatility and over-capacity situation in the industry. Steep decline in raw material prices during the third quarter, put pressure on the margins. The outlook for the industry for the coming year looks positive as the demand growth is expected to slowly catch-up with the supply. Risk and concerns The PFY industry is very competitive with players ranging from large vertically integrated players with very low variable costs to small flexible players who can rapidly respond to market changes in terms of both price and product mix. An economic slow down- both domestic and global - may have adverse effect on the growth of the PFY industry. Raw material prices fluctuate in line with international prices and will continue to have an impact on the company's performance as raw materials constitute about 75 percent of the Company's net sales. Increased differentiated products as well as a reduced working capital facilitywill help reduce risks. Large capacity addition by new and existing players may out-pace demand growth which will lead to price instability and pressure on profit margins. Yet, as demand growth resumes its historical trajectory it is a matter of time before healthy margins are restored. Your company, like any other enterprise, is exposed to business risk which can be an internal as well as external risk. One of the key risks faced by the company in present scenario is the wide and frequent fluctuations in the prices of its raw materials. Major raw materials i.e. PTA and MEG are the derivative of crude and Crude Oil remain highly volatile whole year on account of various international political and economical reasons which are beyond our control. Inflationary tendency in the economy and deterioration of macro economic indicators, coupled with below normal rain can impact the spending power of the consumer which can affect the volume of business as well as the operating performance of the Company. Business Outlook: The growth in demand is expected in the medium term to rely on high consumption in the domestic market. Your Company is committed to build business with long term goal based on your Company's intrinsic strength in terms of product quality and customer network. Large additions to PTA capacity are expected this financial year that should result in more competitive PTA costs that will improve both domestic and export sales and margins, other things being sanr^ The introduction of GST should see a level playing field between your Company and other companies which are tax exempt. This should further improve margins for your Company in the long run, other things being same. The Company will continue to focus on specialty and differentiated products in yarn and chips segment. Internal Control System and their Adequacy The Internal Control System provides for well documented policies / guidelines, authorizations and approval procedures. Considering the nature of its business and size of operations, your Company through its Internal Auditors carries out periodic audit based on the plan approved by the Audit Committee. The summary of the Internal Audit observations and status of implementation are submitted to the Audit Committee. The status of implementation of the recommendations is reviewed by the Audit Committee on a regular basis and desired actions are initiated to strengthen the control and effectiveness of the system. Concerns, if any, are reported to the Board. Health, safety and environment Your Company continued its focus in creating an aesthetic, environment-friendly industrial habitat in its factory units, mobilizing support and generating interest among staff and labour for maintaining hygienic and green surrounding. The Company continues to focus on maintenance and performance improvement of related pollution control facility at its manufacturing locations.
