LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

The financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2011 after charging all expenses and contribution to P.A.C. Ramasamy Raja Memorial Fund of Rs.10.000 millions (which is within the limits laid in the Articles of Association) but before deducting interest and depreciation have resulted in operating profit of Rs.994.988 millions.

 

After deducting Rs.285.078 millions towards interest cost and providing Rs.321.107 millions towards Depreciation, the Net Profit for the year is Rs.388.803 millions adding the surplus of Rs.96.931 millions brought forward from the previous year, the Directors propose to appropriate the total sum of Rs.485.734 millions. 

 

TRADE CONDITIONS

 

The performance of the Company during the Platinum Jubilee year was commendable and has been highest in the history of the Company inspite of the unprecedented increase in cotton prices. The financial year 2010-11 witnessed a very difficult trade conditions due to the following reasons:

 

A) Cotton

 

There has been unprecedented rise in the cotton prices during the cotton season started from October, 2010 and the cotton prices have gone up by more than 100% as compared to the previous cotton season. Cotton, often referred as “White Gold” has recorded the historic highest prices. The Government of India has allowed export of more than 15% of Cotton produced in India and the good quality of cotton was shipped out of India within 3 months. This has resulted in mismatch between demand and supply of cotton and the domestic spinning mills were forced to pay higher prices for good quality cotton.

 


B) Electricity

 

The power cut in Tamilnadu continued to the extent of 100% for 4 hours during 6 P.M. to 10 P.M. and 30% during the rest of the hours, in addition to unannounced power shutdowns. This has forced the Company to operate captive Gensets in order to maintain the optimum utilization level. The power cost has increased by more than 15% as compared to previous year. Timely decision taken by the Directors to install Windmills in previous years and purchase of power from Third Party have helped the Company to operate the Mills at optimum utilization level and also helped the Company to tide over the power crisis.

 

C) Inflation and Impact on Cost of borrowing

 

In order to contain the inflation in India, The Reserve Bank of India has tightened the monetary policy by increasing the lending and borrowing rates. Because of these measures, all the Banks have hiked the rate of interest by 2% to 3% for all our term loans and working capital loans.

 

D) Cotton Yarn Export brought under Quota System

 

The export of cotton yarn was under Quota Raj till 1995. When the textiles and clothing were brought into the mainstream under the WTO, the quota system was abolished and export of yarn was allowed without any restriction.

 

The Domestic and the International Yarn markets have started improving specifically after a long spell of sluggishness witnessed due to Global Economic Crisis during the period from 2008 to 2010. However, the Government of India has suddenly restricted the export of Cotton Yarn during December, 2010 to March, 2011 and re-introduced the Quota system. This has affected the Yarn Market both in Domestic as well as Export, which resulted in sluggishness of yarn prices and yarn movements in India.

 

By implementing various cost reduction measures and production of flexible count pattern with more value added yarn, the Directors were able to achieve satisfactory results in the current market scenario.

 

FINANCE

 

The Company has availed working capital loan in foreign currency at a competitive rate of interest and gained an amount of Rs.4.276 millions towards exchange fluctuations. This gain is because of appreciation of rupee against dollar and the foreign currency loans were repaid at the lower exchange rates.

 

EXPORTS

 

On the export front during the year, they have made direct export of Cotton Yarn / Fabric for a value of Rs.814.400 millions as against Rs.442.600 millions of the previous year. The Directors are thankful to M/s. Mitsubishi Corporation, M/s. Doko Spinning Company Limited, and M/s. Unitika Limited, Japan for their continued support and efforts for promotion of exports to Japan and other countries.

 

PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR

 

The cotton prices during cotton season 2010-11 are very volatile. The cotton prices which have gone up too steeply during the peak cotton season have fallen suddenly during May, 2011. As a result, the Yarn prices have also been crashed. Due to sluggishness in garment/fabric market, the demand for yarn has come down unexpectedly. The Government’s decision to re-introduce the Quota system for export of cotton yarn is very unfortunate, which in turn has affected the market share and profitability of the Indian Spinning Mills due to uncertain Government Policies.

The increase in wages, fuel prices and interest cost and the increase in the power cuts in recent period definitely pose a challenge. While the cost of major inputs increasing steeply, the yarn price has started declining due to decrease in demand. The cumulative effect of the above factors would affect the performance of the Company substantially. The Directors are therefore unable to predict the profitability of the Company in the current year. However, the Company is maintaining high standards of quality yarn, cost effective production and stringent waste control measures. These measures strengthened the Company to face the challenges in the current scenario.

 

WIND MILL

 

The Division has generated 443 Lakhs Kwh as compared to 460 Lakhs Kwh of the previous year. The income during the year from the Wind Mill Division was Rs.176.900 millions as against Rs.168.700 millions of previous year. During the year, 11 Nos. of Wind Electric Generators for an aggregate capacity 8.80 MW were purchased during September, 2010. With this, the capacity of the Wind Mills has increased to 30.70 MW comprising of 34 Wind Electric Generators.
