3. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The troubles continued in the economy, with almost 6 months of domestic market disturbance due to implementation of GST. Distributors and retailers started de-stocking before GST and the slowness continued for a few months post GST. Yarn, fabric and garments were all badly affected, leading to a drastic fall in sales.

The export market got weakened due to Rupee moving from 68 levels to 64 levels, making us uncompetitive. Overall Indian exports for the industry fell by 4%.ln 2017-18.

The Company decided to go in for re-structuring of its textile business portfolio. It decided to reduce its dependence on the low margin, high beta yarn business and shift more towards the value added and stable branded garments business.

The Company sold about 50% of its total spinning capacity and decided to install in Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal garment manufacturing capacity taking advantage of the Central ATUF Incentive Policy and the respective State Government Textile Policies.

All the above factors have lead to a fall in turnover to Rs 500 Crores, despite an increase in garment turnover. The above factors, also lead to losses in the first two quarters though the Company managed to stay in the black in the last two quarters.

The business restructuring has also enabled the Company to reduce its long term debt from Rs 186 crores to Rs 151 crores during the year.

We are also happy to announce that the Company received the Award of "Most Desirable 30 Power Brands", which affirms the strength of its brand TT which will spearhead the growth in the coming times.

In nutshell it's a year best forgotten for financials, but is a landmark in terms of a clear policy change, which has already starting showing small fruits.

4. FUTURE OUTLOOK

As we enter the New Year we start with optimism. The demonetization & GST impact is bygone and GST seems a reality that would improve our competitiveness against the large unorganized garment segment. We are already seeing positive impact of the same and growth in garments despite a 6 month GST impacted demand.

The INR has depreciated by about 4% from the highs giving us a competitive edge once again in exports.

The Company no more carries the baggage of old uncompetitive spinning machinery. The land and building will be used for value added, high margin garments.

The Company is seeing good response to its casual wear range. It has launched its new range under a new brand -" HiFlyers" which has helped breakfree from the perception of being an innerwear brand.

The Company Exclusive Brand Outlet (EBO) chains by the name of "T T BAZAAR" to build direct connect with the consumer is getting good response. 50 TT Bazaar franchisee stores are running and many more are in the pipeline. Company proposes to take it to 200 in the next 12 months.

New garment factory in Gajroula is expected to start sometime during quarter 2, while Kolkata will start in near future. The up gradation of Avinashi factory also should be completed sometime in quarter Q2.

We therefore start with lot of hope and optimism of achieving new heights and taking the brand and company to new levels. We are more focused on the value added segment and domestic sales which will de-risk the business and bring in more stability to turnover and margins. We are confident of growing our brand in the garment segment and gaining market share in the years to come.

We have gone through a bad phase, but luckily have emerged stronger and wiser which will hold us in good stead in the days to come.

5. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES
