Year in retrospect:

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world during the year under review. The
slowdown of the economy is manifest in the revised GDP growth number of 6.4% on the back of
8.2% growth in the previous year.

In its global outlook, the IMF predicts world wise growth to maintain stability at 3.3% through 2025
and 2026 years. China’s growth projection has been marginally increased to 4.6%.

The slowdown in India’s economy this year against last year is caused by many uncertainties and
challenges such as sluggish demand, capital expenditure slowing down, intensified geopolitical
issues, policy of protectionism and trade tariffs.

These factors have taken away some of the shine from Indian shinning narrative of the economy,
which the markets also reacted to.

Notwithstanding the turbulent global landscape, India is hopeful to navigate the disruptions with
policy agility and long term vision afforded by the buoyancy in tax collection, strong agricultural
output, continued focus on infra spending and "Make in India” to stimulate investment, demand and
growth.

The merchandise exports of $ 437.42 billion this year are marginally 0.08% higher against previous
year. The major drivers of goods growth include engineering, electronics, pharma and readymade
garments of all textiles.

Besides, the Indian exports include US export of USD 86.51 billion this year against USD 77.82
billion made in last year, showing rise of 11.17%. Thus USA remained India’s top export destination
this year.

Service exports of USD 383.51 billion collected this year against USD 341.06 billion in previous year,
showing growth of 12.45% is a milestone achievement.

Production:

Your company manufactures quality socks for export to reputed brands in the overseas markets.
About 91% of the total production consists of exports.

Your company has state-of-the-art imported knitting machines, with suitable balancing equipment.
The entire plant and machinery is housed in a well-built modern factory building which is equipped
with centralized air conditioning plant for socks knitting machines and adiabatic cooling system for
manually done jobs like checking, pairing and packing of socks. The latest type firefighting
equipment like hydrants, sprinklers and fire alarms system are also installed in the building.

A pillar based mezzanine floor has been installed in main raw material stores, to increase capacity
of storage area.

With all such facilities, the factory is a comprehensive compact hosiery unit under one roof capable
of knitting premium quality socks.

During the year under review (F.Y. 24-25), your company manufactured a wide spectrum of
numerous styles of 69.80 lakh pairs of socks against 65.42 lakh pairs in previous year, reflecting
surge of 6.90%. The socks made by your company are suitable for men, ladies, kids and infants.
Superior quality of yarn spun from combed cotton, BCI cotton and organic cotton with suitable
deniers of nylon, recycled polyester and elastane are used to knit socks as per the specifications of
our customers.

We also supply Merino wool socks to some of our customers in the UK and Europe.

Your company also manufactures ecofriendly bamboo socks. These socks offer excellent
breathability and natural antibacterial properties. The socks are popular in India and are supplied by
your company to reputed domestic brands.

Besides, your company manufactures exclusive quality athletic socks for export to niche markets.
Such socks are exported to more than one dozen brands who distribute them to various Football
Clubs and other sport clubs under their brands in various geographies of the world. Such socks are
technically difficult to copy as they require specialized machines and very experienced and skilled
technicians.

6.13 lakh pairs of such athletic socks were exported in this year against 3.05 lakh pairs in previous
year, showing a growth of 101%. These socks add value to the margins of the Company.

Revenues:

The sale value of ?2999.79 lakh achieved this year is marginally lower compared to ?3074.74 lakh,
showing nominal decline of 2.44%.

Export sales of ?2809.95 lakh achieved this year against ?2877.36 in previous year reflects nominal
decline of 2.35%.

Your company’s premium quality dress and sport socks are exported to reputed brands of overseas
markets and sold in top end retail outlets.

Despite the lower volume of export pairs, and severe recession in UK which one of biggest markets
your company could maintain its export share of business with a better product-mix and better
export realized prices.. (Export rate: ?/pair - FY 24/25: ? 44.25; FY 23/24: ? 41.09)

Your company is the member of Sedex. Every year a SMETA 4 pillar audit of factory is conducted.
After audit, the detailed audit report is available on Sedex platform. Your company distributes the
copy of the report to all its main customers.

Your company is also registered with GOTs, BCI, ECO, FCS and ISO-9001:2015. Most of these
certificates are required by our export clients. These certificates are the main gateway to procure
export orders.

Profit & Loss Account:

The total dispatched pairs in F.Y. 2024-25 were 8.5% lower compared to F.Y. 2023-24. The loss in
profits due to decline in dispatches was more or less offset by increase in overall sales rates realized
due to better product-mix.

The prices of raw materials this year were more or less in parity with the last year.

The wages and salaries cost this year rose by ?70.34 lakh over previous year due to increase in
minimum wages as prescribed by the Government, and merit increments paid to the staff and
operators.

The depreciation amount this year is less by ?55.49 lakh against the last year due to the increase
in the age of many machines this year needing lower provision of depreciation.

The net impact of the above factors is that your company earned a profit before tax of ?122.56 lakh
in against of ?102.91 lakh in previous year, showing a rise of 19.01%.
