RECENT DEVELOPMENT
Impact of COVID-19
The pandemic outbreak has caused an economic downturn on a global scale, including closures of many businesses and reduced consumer spending, as well as significant market disruption and volatility. The demand for our draft products is dependent on and directly affected by factors affecting industries where our products are supplied. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, our revenue from operations for the Fiscal 2023 and for Fiscals 2022 was Rs. 2,589.26 lakhs and Rs. 1,334.40 lakhs respectively. We continue to closely monitor the impact that COVID-19 may have on our business and results of operations. It is difficult for us to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on us, our customers or suppliers in the future.
FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Economic conditions in the markets in which we operate
Our results of operations are dependent on the overall economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, including India. Any change in macro-economic conditions in these markets, including changes in interest rates, government policies or taxation and political, economic or other developments could affect our business and results of operations. The textile sector in India may perform differently and be subject to market and regulatory developments that are dissimilar to the markets in other parts of the world. While stronger international economic conditions tend to result into higher demand for our products, weaker economic conditions tend to result into lower demand. Change in demand in the market segments we currently supply or improvement/deterioration in the market or a change in regulations, customs, taxes or other trade barriers or restrictions could affect our operations and financial condition.
Loss of any of our suppliers or a failure by our suppliers to deliver some of our primary raw materials
The loss of any of our suppliers or a failure by our suppliers to deliver our products such as fabrics and garments can have significant consequences for our business. Without a reliable supply of our materials, we may experience difficulties in meeting customer demand and fulfilling our commitments. This could result in dissatisfied customers, potential loss of business, and damage to our reputation. In addition, if we are forced to find alternative suppliers or sources for our products, it may result in increased costs, longer lead times, and potential compromises in quality or specifications. This can have a negative impact on our profitability and operational efficiency. To mitigate these risks, it is crucial for us to have contingency plans in place, such as maintaining relationships with multiple suppliers, regularly assessing their reliability, and exploring options for local sourcing or production. By implementing these measures, we aim to minimize the potential impact of supplier loss or failure on our business operations.
Our ability to successfully implement its strategy and its growth and business expansion plans
Our revenue and our business operations have grown in recent years. Although we plan to continue to expand our scale of operations, we may not be able to sustain these rates of growth in future periods due to a number of factors, including, among others, our execution capability, our ability to retain, maintain relation with our stake holders, our ability to maintain customer satisfaction, our ability to mobilize sufficient working capital, macroeconomic factors beyond our control such as decline in global economic conditions, availability of cheaper domestic products / brands, competition within each product category from players in the organized and unorganized segments, the greater difficulty of growing at sustained rates from a larger revenue base, our inability to control our expenses and the availability of resources for our growth. There can be no assurance that we will not suffer from capital constraints, operational difficulties or difficulties in expanding existing business operations. Our strategy and revenue plan may not work and might have adverse affect on financials.
Pricing Strategy
Pricing our products presents a complex task in our fabrics wholesale business. It is essential to consider the competitive pricing in the market, along with the cost of goods and transportation and customs expenses. To determine our pricing, we have conducted thorough cost analyses and studied our target markets sensitivity to pricing. Regularly reviewing and adjusting our pricing strategy based on market dynamics, such as competitor pricing and customer feedback, has been pivotal in remaining competitive and ensuring profitability.

Changes in estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
(c) Going Concern
The financial accounts of the Company are prepared on the assumption of going concern concept.
(d) Current versus non-current classification
"The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
It is expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle It is held primarily for the purpose of trading It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
Current liabilities include the current portion of long term financial liabilities. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle."
(e) Inventories:
"Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, FIFO method is used. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The proportionate amount of additional duty of customs paid on finished goods imported for trading and lying unsold as at the year ended has been included in the value of the finished goods stock. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis"
(f) Property, Plant and Equipment
Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its acquisition price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies, any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, pre-operative expenses including financial charges and adjustments on account of foreign exchange fluctuations, wherever applicable; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent expenditures related to an item of fixed asset should be capitalised only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance otherwise expenditure should be written off.
(g) Depreciation and Amortisation:
"Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on written down value method over the useful lives of assets estimated by the management which are equal to the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 . The useful lives estimated by the management are mentioned below:
Furniture and fixtures : 10 years Electrical fitting and fixing : 5 years
Computer and related equipment : 3 years, Motor Vehicle :10 years, Office Equipment : 5years
Plant & Machineries have been depreciated over a period of 10 years which is the economic useful life of those machineries as per management. Leasehold improvements is amortised on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the lease or the economic useful life, whichever is lower.
The useful lives are reviewed by the management periodically and revised, if appropriate. In case of a revision, the unamortized depreciable amount is charged over the revised remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from the date on which asset is ready for use. Property, Plant and Equipment is eliminated from the financial statements on disposal or when no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal."
(h) Intangible assets
"Intangible assets that are acquired by the company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss (if any).
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits to the specific assets to which it relates.
Intangible assets are amortised in Statement of Profit and Loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the assets. Accordingly, at present these are being amortised on written down value method over a period of three years based on the useful economic life.
Amortisation method and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. If the useful life of an asset is estimated to be significantly different from previous estimates, the amortisation period is changed accordingly. If there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from the asset, the amortisation method is changed to reflect the changed pattern. An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefit is expected from its use and disposal.
Losses arising from retirement and gains or losses arising from disposal of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets, and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss."
(i) Recognition of Revenue and Expenses
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must be also met before revenue is recognized:
(j) Sale of goods:
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer under the terms of the contract.

(n) Transactions in foreign currency:
Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of such transactions. Realized gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
(o) Segment Reporting:
The Company operates in a single primary business segment . Hence, there are no reportable segment as per AS 17 Segment Reporting.

(q) Accounting for taxes on Income
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.
(i) Current Tax:
Current Tax expense is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
(ii) Deferred Tax:
Deferred income tax reflects the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred Tax is measured using the tax rates and tax laws used enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all the taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reviewed at each reporting period.
(r) Impairment of Assets:
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable value. An Impairment Loss is charged for when an asset is identified as Impaired. The impairment loss recognized in prior accounting period is reversed, if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. The Company has identified that there are no Assets available whose carrying cost exceeds its recoverable value and hence the Company has not provided for any impairment loss during the year.
(s) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets:
The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
The Company uses significant judgements to disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
