Financial Performance & Review

The company was having three production facilities located at
Nalagarh (Himachal Pradesh), Ludhiana (Punjab) and Bathinda
(Punjab) for the manufacturing of yarns and only production
facility at Nalagarh is operational.

Ludhiana Unit:

In March 2025, the company has closed the operations at
manufacturing unit located at Focal Point, Ludhiana to explore
various avenues for the monetization of real estate potential of
the land and streamlining the cash flows of the organization.

Bathinda Unit:

During FY 2023-24, operations at manufacturing unit located
at Badal Road, Bathinda were closed due to non-viability due to
deteriorating condition of machines, high operational cost and
operational losses. Later, it was planned to monetize the land
situated at Bathinda Unit to augment funds. The company has
received approval from Bathinda Development Authority (BDA)
stating its No Objection to establish a Residential Colony subject
to other regulatory approvals from Municipal Corporation and
other Departments. However, pending these approvals, the land
situated at Bathinda unit has been reclassified from fixed assets
to inventory in December, 2024 and is valued at fair value, based

on the Bathinda Tehsil's collector rate list for agricultural land.
This initial fair value assessment uses agricultural land rates. A
full fair market valuation will be determined after the saleable
area is precisely ascertained.

During FY 2024-25, Revenue from operations is Rs.28,498.24
Lakhs which has come down by 23.11% from Rs.37,063.81
Lakhs in FY 2023-24. The major reasons for reduction in
revenue were closure of operations of Bathinda Unit and the
lower/irregular production activities of manufacturing unit at
Ludhiana and thereafter, its closure as stated above. There is
PBT of Rs.1492.40 Lakhs during FY 2024-25 as compared to last
year's loss of Rs.2675.98 Lakh

Earlier, the bank accounts of the company were classified as NPA
by the Banks. The company had made efforts to resolve its debts
with Banks. State Bank of India, United Bank of India, Canara
Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Maharashtra, Union Bank of
India (formerly known as Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank)
and Axis Bank have assigned our debt to Phoenix ARC Private
Limited through Assignment Agreements. Further, the company
had settled its debts under OTS with Bank of India, Indian Bank
(Allahabad Bank), Punjab National Bank, J & K Bank, Punjab &
Sind Bank. On November 8, 2023, the Company has accepted/
signed the Letter of Acceptances (LOA) of Phoenix ARC Private

Limited for restructuring of debt and the debt is repayable in
monthly installments upto September, 2026 as per repayment
schedule of LOA. As per the LOA, the liability will recast to the
