ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Transferred from Debenture Redemption Reserve 16.12 -

Balance carried to Balance Sheet (472.52) (740.24)

2. OPERATIONS

The year under review was volatile for the Polyester Industry due to weak domestic textile market, over supply of Polyester Yarn compared to the over all demand, unprecedented increase in oil prices leading to abnormal hike in the prices of raw material viz.PTA & MEG which are based on crude oil prices, which had gone from USD 47 to USD 85 per barrel internationally.! High input cost like power continued to put pressure on the production cost. Unfortunately there was no relief in the budget for adjustment / refund of CENVAT. Because of this there has been accumulation of CENVAT to the extent of about Rs.29 crores as on 31/3/2010. This has created pressure on the cash flow of the Company and resulted into acute shortage of working capital. During the year under review the turnover was Rs.541 crores which is marginally lower against turnover of Rs.557 crores during the previous year despite adverse market situations and global recession. Net loss has been reduced from Rs.25.77 crores to Rs.20.84 crores during the year under review. The Company may be able to improve the profitability in view of cost cutting measures and improving efficiency in manufacturing areas. The Company has implemented debottlenecking programme to increase the production capacity of polymer which is now about 86400 TPA. In absence of profits your Directors are unable to declare any divided for the year under review.

3. EXPORTS

Textile exports have been hit due to recessionary trend prevailing in the global synthetic textile market. However the Company has been able to achieve the exports of about Rs.24 crores during the year under review as against exports of Rs.23 crores in the previous year. The Company is making all efforts to explore the new markets and improve its market position in the globe.

4. FUTURE PROSPECTS

The potential of Indian textile sector continues to be high indicating strong demand in favour of India. Global and Domestic Polyester Industry is optimistic for growth due to price competitiveness of Polyester vis-a-vis other substitutes like cotton, silk and woolen yarns and shifting of manufacturing base to low cost countries like India and China. PFY will grow with an expected CAGR of 8% over 2008-09 to 2013-14. Higher allocation of funds by Govt, of India in the budget for TUFS will help in expansion and modernization initiatives. An extensive skill development programme in textile and garment sector in association with the textile ministry to train 30 Lac persons over 5 years will meet the rising demand of skilled manpower in the textile industry. However the pressure on margins is expected to continue due to continuous rise in oil prices. Your Directors continue to remain optimistic on future outlook of Polyester Industry in India.

5. RESTRUCTURING OF DEBTS AND SANCTION OF REVIVAL SCHEME BY BIFR

The Company has been able to settle with 95.2% of secured lenders leading to reduction in interest cost, write back of principal / interest which have been included in the exceptional items shown in the financial results during the year under review.
