BUSINESS

The Company is vertically integrated multi-product textile company, manufacturing various kinds of Knitted Garments, Terry Towels, Knitted & Processed Fabric and various kind of Yarn with production facilities located at different parts of India.

State of Company's affairs:

During the year under review, your company has achieved Revenue from Operations of Rs. 98927.71 lacs as compared to Rs. 171287.12 lacs in the previous year. After deducting Expenses and Exceptional Items there was Loss of Rs.166720.40 lacs as compared to Loss of Rs. 85438.28 lacs during the previous year. After providing for taxes and other adjustments, the current year loss stood at Rs. 222179.94 lacs as compared to loss of Rs. 55755.39 lacs during the previous year.

The Company followed an aggressive growth path and had considerably grown its balance sheet, including debt. Due to the industry situation in general viz. slowdown and company specific issues such as growing debt, delayed realization of debtors, working capital shortfall, delay in project completion and cash flow mismatch, which had adversely affected the liquidity position of the company, the company was facing financial problems and finding difficulty in servicing its debt obligation. Therefore, it approached the lenders for restructuring its debts under Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism. The Company's proposal for restructuring of its debts was approved by Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell ("CDR Cell") vides Letter of Approval (LOA) dt. 30.06.2014.

However, the credit facilities envisaged and sanctioned under CDR package were not released by the lenders to the Company, which resulted in sub-optimum utilization of manufacturing facilities. Due to non-disbursement of funds the Company could not complete one of its spinning projects where substantial amount was already incurred. All this has led to adverse financial performance and erosion in net worth of the Company. Also the company has been facing cash flow mismatch and is not able to serve debt obligations as per the terms of CDR package sanctioned earlier. Due to financial constraints, the company has also started job work operations in some of its spinning plants.

Since, the Company was finding it difficult to serve its debt obligations, the Company has requested its lenders for a second/deep restructuring of its debts. Considering the state of art manufacturing facilities of the Company, most modernized technology, skilled labor force, professional management and inherent viability of the Company, the lenders had in-principle agreed for second/deep restructuring of the debts. Pending discussions with the lenders, State Bank of India in its capacity as financial creditor has filed a petition on 12th October, 2017 under "Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016" (IBC) with Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench (NCLT). On 11th April, 2018, the NCLT vide it's order of even date admitted the said petition and Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) has been initiated. Mr. Navneet Kumar Gupta having Registration No.IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00001/2016-17/10009 was appointed as Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) vide order dt. 25th April, 2018 and the affairs, business and assets are being managed by the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). The Company has preferred an appeal against the admission of petition and appointment of IRP with National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).

The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) has since been kept in abeyance vide order dt. 22nd June, 2018 of Hon'ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these financial statements on the basis of going concern assumption.

Due to non disbursement of credit facilities the Company had suffered operational losses as well as capital losses. Therefore, the Company has presented before the Adjudicating Authority counter claim & claim of set off against the banks.

Further, the majority of secured lenders have stopped charging interest on borrowings, since the accounts of the Company have been categorized as Non Performing Asset.

B) With reference to remark on Interest subsidy receivable the Board would like to state that the Subsidies are to be released by Ministry of Textiles and Madhya Pradesh Government and the Company is hopeful of receiving the same in full. Since, the subsidies are not related to current year, the same does not have any impact on current year's profits/losses of the Company. However the reserves & surplus & current assets are overstated to the extent.

C) With reference to remark on Impairment testing the Board would like to state that the Company was implementing a Spinning project which got stuck due to non-disbursement of credit facilities by the Banks. However, post Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) the Company expects that the project would be completed. Therefore, impairment testing was not conducted.

D) With reference to remark on Write down of inventories of Raw materials etc, the Board would like to state that due to the liquidity stress, which the Company was facing from last five years, the Company has not been able to manufacture products as per requirements of the buyers or as per market demand. It has been manufacturing products to keep its production capacities working and as per availability of raw material. The Company has been procuring raw material from the sources where credit is available. All this had resulted in build-up of obsolete stock and slow moving stock which has been now written down to net realizable value.

E) With reference to remark on shortfall in the carrying value of the Security, the Board would like to state that the carrying value of the security has reduced due to writing down of inventories, impairment of advances, trade receivables etc. Further, inclusion of Corporate Guarantee in financial statement has increased the borrowings without corresponding increase in security value.

d) With reference to the Auditors remarks regarding Non confirmation of debit/credit balances, the same were not confirmed by the respective parties despite the letters/mails in this regard been sent to them.
