OPERATIONS REVIEW

The year 2005 proved to be a watershed for the country's textile industry, with global trade in textiles opening up from January 1, 2005 and Indian exporters managing to score over competitors from most countries to make significant inroads in the US and the European Union markets. 

After China, which was off to a flying start to capture the chunk of the Western markets for textile products, the Indian textile sector was the next best performer on the global scene following the quota phase-out, with the country increasing its share of textile and garment deliveries to the US and the EU by a quarter in the first nine months of 2005. 

The new state-of-the-art laundry facility at Bangalore had been commissioned in June'06. This will give a big impetus to the sale of washed bottoms and special washed outerwear. Washed garments presently have a big demand from the Western Countries. 

Their knit wear unit at Bangalore was commissioned this year and is well on track with a good productivity and steady flow of orders. 

The expansion programme at Chennai, Hyderabad, Mysore and Bangalore is under progress. 

The Chennai SEZ factory is under construction, and will be commissioned in this financial year. 

The 9 acres of land at Hyderabad has been acquired in a centrally located industrial area at a cost of Rs. 25 Millions and will have a built-up area of approx. 0.1 Millions sq. ft. The Mysore plant will have a built-up area of 75,000 sq. ft. 

They have also initiated the process of buying the machinery for manufacture of structured suits and they intend to set up this suit plant in Bangalore very shortly. Suits are a value added product and there is a good demand for this segment of clothing from the western world. They hope to set up a world-class suit manufacturing plant in the present financial year and their clients have indicated a good requirement of the same. Suits will cover both areas, men's as well as ladies' suits, and they also would eventually look at manufacturing industrial clothing. 

India is getting recognized as the main apparel source after China. The market indications are quite positive and very much in favour of India being recognized as a manufacturing hub for different kinds of textiles and apparels, especially in the value-added segment. 

Gokaldas Exports has added new important clients in the past year and the growth rate seems optimistic.

Management Discussion And Analysis: 

Introduction: 

Gokaldas Exports Limited (GEL) is the largest and one of the leading exporters of apparel and textile garments company in India having worldwide presence with established manufacturing, marketing and research capabilities and is a 9001:2002 certified company. GEL is vertically integrated with a presence across the apparel and textile products. GEL has more than 40 factories spreading in 37 locations in Bangalore, manufacturing more than 2.4 million garments per month. 

The principal products that GEL produces are outer wear and bottom wear. Outerwear includes both sports wear and winter wear and bottom wear include casual pants, chinos, linen trousers, denim jeans etc. The following pie graph depicts the product mix for the year 2005-06: 

Graphical representation of product mix: 

More than 97% of revenues come from export activity. GEL has big plans to enhance the production capacity to 2.5 million garments per month by the end of current fiscal. Towards this objective, they are investing more that Rs.1000 million in the next two years, which would make us to further consolidate lead in the apparel and textile industry. 

Industry Structure and Developments: 

The textile and clothing are closely related with textiles providing major input to the clothing industry. International trade was hitherto regulated by the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) at the multilateral level with various bilateral and regional trade agreements. The ATC called for phasing out of quota restrictions by putting pre-condition to the formation of World trade Organization (WTO). The textile and clothing sector has become subject to the World Trade Organization (WTO), after removal of quotas from 01.01.2005. China has been re-imposed with restrictions both from E.U. and the U.S.A. which helps India to further increase its presence in the global apparel industry. India's performance during 2005 was a 32% jump compared to 2004. In the first four months of India's performance, January-April 2006, the growth was approx. 35%, which is a clear indication of grabbing China's share of quotas. 

The Indian textile industry plays a vital role in the Indian economy by contributing to GDP, generating employment and earning foreign exchange. An estimated 38 million people are directly employed in the textile industry in India and contributes to 4% of GDP and 20% of total export earnings. India currently exports more than one hundred garment product categories and out of this, cotton apparel exports dominate, contributing nearly 76% by value and synthetic constitutes 12%. Indian textile exports is expected to grow from the current levels to US$50 billion by 2010, consequent to quota removal, apparel being US$25 billion. 

Opportunities After dismantling of quotas, India seems to benefit due to raw material, design skills and skilled labour advantages. 

India is the world's third largest producer of cotton, second largest producer of cotton yarn, third largest exporter of cotton fabric and fourth largest exporter of synthetic fabric. With the establishment of training institutions like National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), many high quality designers, who are able to create modern designs and interact with the buyers, are emerging. This is a distinctive advantage that Indian companies have, and not yet exploited. 

India already enjoys a significant competitive advantage in terms of labour cost per hour over developed countries like USA, EU, Honk Kong, Taiwan Singapore etc. India is rich in traditional workers adept at value adding tasks such as embroidery, minor work, beading and at marketing complex garments. Apart from these, USA and EU imposed quotas on China recently, which would benefit India in consolidating its market share and good political relations with these two countries would further help. 

Inspite of above advantages that India has, there would be pricing pressures in view of dismantling of quotas as new small and medium manufacturers would crop in not only within India but also from other countries where similar quotas were imposed earlier. Also India has geographical disadvantage which take little longer time to reach its products to the key markets. It seems the price has been, more or less, stabilized and the buyers are looking for quality manufactures, even it cost little more. 

Operating Results/Financial Highlights: 

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956 and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in India. The management accepts the responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements and the basis for the various estimates and judgments used in preparing the financial statements. 

During the year, the Company has achieved a net turnover of Rs.8619.558 Millions, out of which 97.8% is in the form of foreign exchange. The Company posted a strong top line performance due to good order book. Profit before tax was at Rs.679.404 Millions and net profit after tax stood at Rs.608.834 Millions. 

The higher net profit margin is due to their most of sales are to the foreign buyers, which enjoys higher margins. During 2005-06, USA & Canada dominated with a share of 64.57% of total turnover and Europe stood in the second with 33.67%. 

Gokaldas Exports is a major player in the readymade garment industry across the globe. They have a heritage of leadership to honor and preserve.
