MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 


Industry Structure and Developments: 


During the year 2006-07, Indian Economy has grown 9.2% (estimated) as against the 9.0% growth of 2005-06. Textile Industry plays a pivotal role through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation and export earnings of the Country. Currently the Industry contributes 14% to Industrial Production, 4% to GDP and 16.63% to country's export earnings. 


Present Apparel Market is valued over Rs. 880 billion. Intimate wear market is estimated to be 10% of Indian Apparel Market, out of which 68% relating to innerwear market of men and women in the ratio of 4:6. The innerwear market is basically classified into five segments, based on the price viz., Low, Economy, Medium, Premium and Super Premium. Considering the factors of growth in income level, preference for recognizable brands and rapid growth of organized retail, the organized market is anticipated to increase its share in the overall apparel market. 


Opportunities and Threats: 


Opportunities: 


* Exploding Innerwear Market: Huge unorganized market is shifting to the organized market. Consumers are becoming more discerning in purchase, which enables them to look at the brands. Jockey is well positioned to tap this opportunity. 


* Organized Retail: Retailing is getting organized with Malls and Format Stores. Organized retail unleashes tremendous hidden potential of consumer purchase. 


* Positive Consumer Disposition: Era of higher consumption and brand indulgence is disintegrating hitherto resistance to branded segments 


Threats: 


* New entrants are expected to be lifestyle brands. They have holistic positioning in the consumers' mind - This threat is nullified substantially by expanding the product portfolio of Jockey besides rolling out emotion based lifestyle brand positioning. 


Outlook: 


As the Company has increased its capacity by way of occupying additional floors, construction of new industrial facility and purchase of machines for expansion / modernization, the Company is expected to meet the market requirement. 


Segment wise Performance: 


The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing garments. Therefore there is no separate reportable segment. 


Risks and Concern: 


The area of risk and concern are:

  
1. Availability of skilled manpower is a real concern in the Industry.

2. Increase in input and labour costs are tuff to be controlled. 


Internal Control System and Adequacy: 


The Company has an adequate internal control system commensurate with its size and nature of its business. Management has overall responsibility for the Company's internal control system to safeguard the assets and to ensure reliability of financial records. The Company has a detailed budgetary control system and the actual performance is reviewed periodically and decision taken accordingly.
