MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Industry Structure & Development
The man made yarn industry has been facing an extremely volatile situation. The prices
of the basic raw materials such as PTA, MEG etc. have risen to as much as 107% during the
year on account of international supply-demand changes. However there has been no
commensurate increase in the domestic prices of the yarn. The rise was also on account of
political disturbances in West Asia and in some major oil producing countries. The impact
of Severe Acute Respitory Syndrome (SARS) Scare, nation wide strike by down stream weavers
& processors have also hit the industry to a great extent.
With the rationalization of excise duty, PFY is expected to be only marginally helpful
competitive.
Total income during the year has been Rs.71.38 Lacs against Rs.99.56 Lacs in the
previous year. The management is exploring the best possible solutions to revive the
company and there has been some improvement in this direction.

materials, and excise on Polyester Filament Yarn are also matters of concern.
