Equity Shares for Debentures

In view of persistent requests from some Debentureholders of Series 1, 11, 111 and
IV who could not exercise their option for extinguishment of Debentures held by them
within the time stipulated, your Company approached the Controller of Capital Issues
Government of India, New Delhi, to extend the validity period of their permission. Your
Company has, consequent to the necessary approvals, issued 96,316 Equity Shares of
Rs. 10 ($ 0.82) each, aggregating Rs. 96.30 1$ 7.92) million to these Debentureholders.
Your Directors are pleased to state that out of the total outstanding face value of Rs.
735.00 ($ 60.42) million in the form of Debentures of Series I, II, III and IV, a sum of
Rs. 723.20 ($ 59.44) million have now been extinguished. The outstanding face value of
these Debentures not being significant, the Board of Directors of the Company have
proposed to redeem these Debentures and accordingly obtained an "in-principle" advice
from the Controller of Capital Issues in this regard. Requisite resolutions seeking consent
of the Shareholders and Debentureholders will be placed at their respective meetings to
give effect to this.

In terms of the issuance of Debentures of Series 'E', the Company issued 53,33,333
Equity Shares of Rs. 10 ($ 0.82) each at a premium of Rs. 40 ($ 3.29) per Share to the
holders of these Debentures upon partial conversion of the said Debentures on 30th
April, 1985.

4.

Issuance of Secured Debentures-Series 'F'

In order to finance a part of the capital expenditure for the enhancement of licenced
capacity for the manufacture of Polyester Filament Yarn and for the establishment of
new undertaking to manufacture Polyester Staple Fibre and Purified Terephthalic Acid
at Patalganga, as also to augment long term resources of the Company for meeting its
working capital requirements, the Company issued 15% Secured Redeemable Non-
Convertible Debentures of Rs. 100 ($ 8.22) each for-cash at par aggregating

8

Rs.  2700.00  ($  221.94)  million,  inter  alia,  to  the  Company's  Shareholders,
Debentureholders and Fixed Depositors. This Debenture Issue evoked unprecedented
response  both  from  resident  and  non-resident  investors,  the  overall  subscription
exceeding a little over Rs. 3900.00 ($ 320.58) million establishing yet another corporate
record. Since the Company could retain only Rs. 2700.00 ($ 221.94) million as per
the permission granted by the Controller of Capital Issues, excess application money
was refunded. As required by the Controller of Capital Issues, the Directors certify
that the funds raised through these Debentures to the extent of Rs. 130.00 ($ 10.69)
million have been utilised only for working capital purpose and that these funds have
not been diverted for other purposes.

5.1

Year in Retrospect

Overall Performance

The turnover during the year under review reached Rs. 7113.50 ($ 584.73) million
as against Rs. 6042.74 ($ 484.02) million in the previous year, an increase of 17.72%.
The gross profit also registered an increase of 25.58% viz. Rs. 1087.97 ($89.43) million
from Rs. 8(0.00 ($ 68.89) million (being the comparable amount after reversing the
interest that was capitalised in the previous year).

5.2

Textile Division

Water Jet Looms and Projectile Jacquard Weaving Machines installed in 1984 as
a  part  of  modernisation  programme  at  Ahmedabad  are  smoothly  functioning.  The
effluent treatment plant treating 4 million gallons of water per day costing Rs. 15.00
($1.23)  million,  the  largest  in  the  Textile  Industry  in  India,  was  successfully
commissioned. With a view to monitor treatment of effluent on a regular basis, the
Company has reserved a plot of 1,500 Sq. Metres for growing cash crop by utilising
this treated water. The first reports are encouraging.

The Company has since enhanced the diesel generating capacity to 13MW as a

stand-by to meet any contingency of power shortage.

With the increased production the Company has opened additional retail outlets

and the total now exceeds 1,500.

10

5.3 Fibre Division

5.3.1 Polyester Yarn Division

Your  Company  had  received  an  endorsement  to  enhance  the  licenced  capacity
from 10,000 tonnes to 25,125 tonnes per annum. This has been implemented in the
third quarter of 1985. With this, the Company's profitability will further improve.

5.3.2 Polyester Staple Fibre Project

Your Company commissioned in March, 1986, its Polyester Staple Fibre Plant at
Patalganga  (Maharashtra)  with  a  licenced  capacity  of  45,000  tonnes  per  annum  in
technical collaboration with E.l.DU-PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, U.S.A.,
in a record time of less than 14 months from the date of issue of Letter of Intent.

The Company's plants for the manufacture of Polyester are basically designed to
use solely Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) as a raw material from the beginning for
producing better quality products.

The  benefits  arising  from  this  project  will  be  reflected  in  the  accounting  year

1986 onwards.

6. Projects under Implementation

Division involving a total outlay of Rs. 670.00 ($ 55.07) million. The Company has
already  placed  orders  for  imports  of  machinery  of  a  value  of  Rs.  230.00  ($  18.91)
million, the first of which consignment has already come and the balance are on way.
The  modernisation  of  this  Division  of  Naroda  Project  would  contribute  to  further
improvement in the quality of fabrics, provide for an edge over competition, increase
the turnover and improve profitability.

The Company has taken greater strides in speedily setting up its PTA Plant of
licenced capacity of 75,000 tonnes per annum. The Project has progressed faster with
the  guidance  of  the  technical  collaborators,  Messrs.  Imperial  Chemical  Industries,
U.K.  and  UOP  Processes  International  Inc.,  U.S.A.  The  engineers  from  the
collaborators  are  guiding  our  project  on  a  continuous  basis  with  an  objective  to
commission the project by end of 1986.

On the project being commissioned, the Company will be producing this product
for the first time in the country The Company would thereby substantially save Foreign
Exchange by way of import substitution as a part of a package of projects taken up for
'import substitution'.

6.2.2 Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) Project

As you are aware, the Company proposes to set up a project for manufacture of
Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG), a vital raw material required for the Polyester Industry,
with a licenced capacity of 40,000 tonnes per annum. The Company has taken suitable
steps for implementing this project.

required for the manufacture of Synthetic Detergents. Presently there is an estimated
demand for this product at 1,40,000 tonnes per annum. This is expected to improve
upon  the  projected  increase  in  the  manufacture  of  Synthetic  Detergents  which  has
been accepted as a superior washing material to conventional soaps. This project is
being set up in technical collaboration with UOP Processes International Inc., U.S.A.
The Company has already taken adequate steps to speedily effect the commissioning
of this project.

6.4 Plastics Division

The  Company  has  received  Letters  of  Intent  for  manufacture  of  High  Density
Polyethylene (HDPE) of 50,000 tonnes per annum and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) of
1,00,000 tonnes per annum. These projects are proposed to be set up at Hazira, in the
State of Gujarat. The Company is taking effective steps to implement these proposals.

7. Chemicals and Plastics Division of Union Carbide (India) Limited

On  the  basis  of  selective  checks  carried  out  during  the  course  of  audit  and
according to the information and explanations given to us, there are adequate
internal control procedures, commensurate with the size of the Company and
the  nature  of  its  business  for  purchases  of  stores,  raw  materials  including
components, plant and machinery, equipments and other assets.

There are no purchases during the year of stores, raw materials or components
from the firms or companies or other parties in which Directors are interested.
save and except from a Subsidiary Company as listed in the register maintained
under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956. The prices paid in respect of
purchases  made  from  the  Subsidiary  Company  in  excess  of  Rs.  10,000/-  in
value for each type of item so purchased are reasonable as compared to prices
quoted by others or as per information available with the Company.

As explained to us, the Company has a regular procedure for the determination
of unserviceable or damaged stores and raw materials. Adequate provision has
been made in the Accounts for the loss arising on the items so determined.

In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us,

The Company has an internal audit system commensurate with the size and
nature of its business.

As  required  by  the  Manufacturing  and  Other  Companies  (Auditor's  Report)
Order, 1975 issued by the Company Law Board in terms of Section 227(4A) of
the Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as we considered
appropriate, we further report that:

The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars including
quantitative details and situation of all fixed assets except furniture and fixtures
and factory equipments in respect of which proper records are maintained only
from 1st January, 1979 onwards. The fixed assets have been physically verified
by the Management during the year and no serious discrepancies were noticed
on such verification as compared with the available records.

None of the Fixed Assets have been revalued during the year.

Physical verification was conducted by the Management at reasonable intervals
during  the  year  in  respect  of  finished  goods,  stores,  spare  parts  and  raw
materials, save and except goods lying with third parties. The discrepancies
noticed  on  such  verification  as  compared  with  the  book  records  were  not
significant and the same have been properly dealt with in the Books of Account.
The valuation of these stocks is fair and proper and is in accordance with the
normally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  is  an  the  same  basis  as  in  the
earlier years. The stock of trial run production has been valued at estimated
realisable value.

The Company has not taken any loans from Companies, Firms or other parties
listed  in  the  registers  maintained  under  Sections  301  and  370(1-C)  of  the
Companies Act. 1956.

12. The  Central  Government  has  prescribed  maintenance  of  cost  records  under
Section 209(1)(d) of the Companies Act, 1956 in respect of the manufacturing
activities  of  the  Company.  We  are  informed  that  such  accounts  and  records
have  prima  jape,  been  maintained  in  respect  of  the  Patalganga  and  Sidhpur
Units. Compilation of such records of Naroda Unit for the year is in progress.
We have not, however, made a detailed examination of the same.

13.

14.

15.

Provident Fund dues have been regularly deposited during the year with the
appropriate authorities.

 In respect of trading activities, we are informed that the Company does, not
have damaged goods lying with it at the end of the year. Therefore no provision
for any loss is required to be made in the Accounts.

In respect of processing activities, we are informed that the Company has a
reasonable system of recording receipts, issues and consumption of materials
and stores commensurate with the size and nature of its business and the system
provides for a reasonable allocation of materials and man-hours consumed to
the relative jobs. In our opinion, there is reasonable system for authorisation at
proper levels with necessary control on the issues and allocation of stores and
labour to relative jobs.
