Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward looking statements due to risks or uncertainties associated with the Company’s expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries in India in which the Company has its businesses or proposes to have its business, and the Company’s ability to respond to them, its ability to successfully implement its strategy, its growth and expansion, its exposure to market risks, competitive landscape, general economic and political conditions in India which have an impact on its business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in the Company’s industries. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, among others:

• General economic and business conditions; • Company’s ability to successfully implement its strategy, its growth and expansion plans, and

technology initiatives; • Increase in labour cost, raw materials price, cost of equipments and insurance premia; • Ability to retain management team and skilled personnel; • Changes in the value of the Indian Rupee and other currencies; • Amount that the Company is able to realize from the clients; • Potential mergers, acquisitions or restructurings; • Changes in fiscal, economic or political conditions in India; • Social or civil unrest or hostilities with neighboring countries or acts of international terrorism; • Changes in the foreign exchange control regulations, interest rates and tax laws in India.

SECTION – II

RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT An investment in securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the information in this Information Memorandum, including the risks and uncertainties described below. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, the trading price of the securities could decline, and all or part of the investment may be lost. Materiality The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for determining the materiality: 1. Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively. 2. Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively. 3. Some events may not be material at present but may be having material impacts in future. Internal Risk Factors and Risk Relating to Our Business 1) If we are unable to commence operations as expected, our results of operations will be

adversely affected. As per the Scheme of Amalgamation, Haria Exports Limited’s – Garment Division post Demerger will be

merged into Haria Apparels Limited. If on post-amalgamation, there is any difficulty in starting our operations into the garment business which could then affect our business, results of operation and financial results adversely.

2) Any failure to renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals can have

a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Our Company is required to comply with the provisions of various legislations. If we do not receive, renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to operate our business, it may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Failure or delay in obtaining these approvals may result in the appropriate authorities initiating action against us, restraining our operations, imposition of fines/ penalties or initiating legal proceedings. Consequently failure or delay to obtain the above approvals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and profitability.

3) We have incurred losses in all period of Financial Disclosure.

For information, kindly refer to the section titled ‘Auditor’s Report’ on page 89 of this Information

Memorandum.

4) Some of our Directors are also on the Board of other companies, which could lead to potential conflict of interest.

For information, kindly refer to the section ‘Our Management’ on page 77 of this Information

Memorandum.

5) Our senior management team and other key team members in our business units are critical to our continued success and the results of our operations may be adversely affected by the departure of our senior management and key personnel.

Our business operations require a team of professionals to oversee the operations and growth of our

business. Our performance and success depends largely on our management team and skilled personnel and our ability to attract and retain such persons. In order to sustain our business, we need to attract and retain such Key Management Personnel. We face a continuing challenge to recruit and retain a sufficient number of suitably skilled personnel, particularly as we continue to grow. There is significant competition

Page 8: INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 … · 2014-04-03 · INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 HARIA APPARELS LIMITED (Incorporated as Haria Apparels Limited

6

for management and other skilled personnel in our industry, and it may be difficult to attract and retain the personnel we need in the future. The loss of services of one or more members of our key management team could adversely affect our business and results from operations.

6) Our business depends on our ability to maintain consistency in customer service and other

operations. Competition for personnel, particularly for employees with wholesale expertise, is intense. Additionally,

our ability to maintain consistency in the quality of customer service is critical to our success. This will depend on our ability to hire the right personnel and also train the new personnel in the implementation of our processes effectively. In the event we lose employees at a high rate or we cannot recruit fresh talent, it may adversely affect our operations.

7) Some of our Group Companies have incurred Losses in the past

For information, kindly refer to the section ‘Financial Information of Group Companies’ on page 101 of this

Information Memorandum.

8) We have negative cash flows from operations for all the period of financial disclosure. For information, kindly refer to the section ‘Auditor’s Report’ on page 89 of this Information Memorandum.

9) Our growth requires additional capital, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us. The garment industry is capital intensive and requires significant expenditures for stocks of products,

sourcing of products and raw materials. We anticipate that we will need to obtain additional financing as we expand our operations. We may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, on favourable terms or at all. Moreover, certain of our loan documentations contain provisions that limit our ability to incur future debt. In addition, the availability of borrowed funds for our business may be greatly reduced, and the lenders may require us to invest increased amounts of equity in a project in connection with both new loans and the extension of facilities under existing loans. If we do not have access to additional capital, we may be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of our plans or growth strategies or reduce capital expenditures and the size of our operations.

10) The Company is subject to the risk of price volatility and availability of the raw materials

required for their production. Unexpected volatility and availability related problems pertaining could adversely affect our Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Post Amalgamation, the company will be in the manufacturing business, our success largely depends on

the timely supply of raw materials at competitive prices. Our principal raw materials, namely Fabrics for our Ready-made garments are subject to domestic and international supply side factors which are beyond the Company’s control and any changes in prices and availability will significantly impact our product costs and manufacturing activities.

Secondly, we procure our raw materials from local traders or suppliers who in turn depend on the

manufacturers for supply of raw materials to them. Hence, any delay in supply or non-deliveries to them by the manufacturing companies or by way of imports will impair our production operations also.

The Company has been in the business for considerable period of time and has strong relationships with

the raw material suppliers and service providers. However, no assurance can be given that future unfavourable movements in the price of the various raw materials or a reduction in demand for finished products will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition and results of operations.

11) Our readymade garments exports business is subject to foreign currency fluctuations. We do

not have any specific currency risk hedging policies or strategies in place currently and hence we may be vulnerable to sharp moves in the foreign exchange markets, which may negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our earnings post amalgamation from our readymade garment business is denominated in foreign

currency since our clients are primarily based in the US and the UK and thereby this exposes us to the

Page 9: INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 … · 2014-04-03 · INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 HARIA APPARELS LIMITED (Incorporated as Haria Apparels Limited

7

risks of foreign currency fluctuations. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the US Dollar, UK Pound Sterling and the Euro has fluctuated substantially in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Also, since we do not have any specific currency risk hedging policies or strategies in place currently we are even more vulnerable to such currency risk. Changes in foreign exchange rates may therefore have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

12) We do not own certain key properties, such as our registered office.

Our registered office located at 8, Subhash Road, Vile Parle (E), Mumbai – 400057 belongs to M/s. Vilco

Pharma Pvt. Ltd., which is our promoter company. There is a lease agreement of 60 months starting from April 01, 2009 between the company and M/s. Vilco Pharma Pvt. Ltd. for the said premises being used by our company. There is no guarantee that our lease agreement will be renewed on acceptable terms and conditions.

13) We have entered into certain related party transactions and we cannot assure you that we

could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties.

For information, kindly refer to the section ‘Auditor’s Report’ on page 89 of this Information Memorandum.

14) Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and the terms of its financing arrangements. Due to some of these or other constraints we may not be in a position to pay dividends.

The amount of future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition,

cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

15) The market price of our Equity Shares may be adversely affected by additional issues of

equity or equity linked securities by our Company or by sale of a large number of our Equity Shares by our significant shareholders.

We may finance our growth plans through additional equity offerings. Any future issuance of equity or

equity linked securities by our Company may dilute the shareholding of investors in our Equity Shares and could adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares. Sales of a large number of our Equity Shares by any significant shareholder could adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS 16) The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure could adversely impact our results of

operations and financial condition. India’s physical infrastructure is less developed than that of many developed nations and problems with its port, rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other public facility could disrupt our normal business activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of goods and supplies, and add costs to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 17) Changes in Indian Government policies could adversely affect economic conditions in India,

and thereby adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. All of our production facilities are located in India, and a significant portion of its revenue is derived from sales of its products in the Indian market. Consequently, our Company, and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares, may be affected by changes in the policies of the Government of India. For example, the imposition of foreign exchange controls, rising interest rates, inflation, increases in taxation or the creation of new regulations could have a detrimental effect on the Indian economy. The Indian

Page 10: INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 … · 2014-04-03 · INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 HARIA APPARELS LIMITED (Incorporated as Haria Apparels Limited

Government has in recent years sought to implement economic reforms, and the current Indian Government has implemented policies and undertaken initiatives that continue the economic liberalization policies pursued by previous Indian Governments. The Indian Government has announced its general intention to continue India’s current economic and financial sector deregulation policies and encourage infrastructure Projects. However, the roles of the Indian Government and the state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators have remained significant and there can be no assurance that liberalization policies will continue in the future. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and our results of operations and financial conditions in particular. 18) If regional hostilities, terrorist attacks or social unrest in India increases, our business could

be adversely affected and the trading price of the Equity Shares could decrease. The Asian region has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest, terrorist attacks and hostilities among neighbouring countries, including between India and Pakistan. Since May 1999, military confrontations between India and Pakistan have occurred in Kashmir. Also, since early 2003, there have been a number of terrorist attacks in India in the last several years, including recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai in November 2008. Military activity or terrorist attacks in India in the future could influence the Indian economy by creating a greater perception that investments in Indian companies involve higher degrees of risk. These hostilities and tensions could lead to political or economic instability in India and a possible adverse effect on the Indian economy and our business and its future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares. Furthermore, India has also experienced social unrest in some parts of the country. If such tensions occur in other parts of the country, leading to overall political and economic instability, it could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares. 19) Financial instability in other countries, particularly countries with emerging markets, could

disrupt Indian markets and our business and cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to decrease.

The Indian financial markets and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market countries in Asia. Further the current financial turmoil in the United States has had a significant impact on the Indian economy as well as the stability of the Indian Markets. Financial instability in other countries such as Latin America, Russia and elsewhere in the world in recent years have had limited impact on the Indian economy and India was relatively unaffected by financial and liquidity crises experienced elsewhere. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors´ reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. This in turn could negatively impact the movement of exchange rates and interest rates in India. In short, any significant financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares. 20) Any downgrading of India´s debt rating by an international rating agency could have a

negative impact on our business and the trading price of the Equity Shares. Any adverse revisions to India´s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing to fund our growth on favourable terms or at all and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 21) The Indian securities markets are more volatile than certain other advanced securities

markets. Global or local economic, business or market conditions will have an adverse impact on liquidity and market prices of shares as well as the businesses of the Company will be affected.

Page 11: INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 … · 2014-04-03 · INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 HARIA APPARELS LIMITED (Incorporated as Haria Apparels Limited

The Indian securities markets are more volatile than the securities markets in certain countries which are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Indian stock exchanges have, in the recent past, experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. Indian stock exchanges have experienced problems which, if such or similar problems were to continue or recur, could affect the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares. These problems have included temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. A closure of, or trading stoppage on, either of the BSE and the NSE could adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Historical trading prices, therefore, may not be indicative of the prices at which the Equity Shares will trade in the future. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time imposed restrictions on trading in certain securities, limitations on price movements and margin requirements. Furthermore, from time to time disputes have occurred between listed companies, stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in some cases may have had a negative effect on market sentiment. 22) Post-issue volatility in prices of the scrip may result due to mainly the following factors or due

to some other factors we cannot foresee for the future. The price of our Company’s equity shares in Indian stock exchanges may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several factors, including:

• Volatility in the Indian and Global securities market; • The results of operations and performance of our Company; • Perceptions about our Company’s future performance or the performance of other Indian

companies in the same industry; • Performance of four Company’s competitors in the industry and market perception of investments

in the textile sector; • Adverse media reports on our Company or on the industry; • Change in the estimates of our Company’s performance or recommendations by financial

analysts; • Significant development in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies; and • Significant development in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations

Equity Shares related Risks 23) Our Equity Shares may experience price and volume fluctuations or an active trading market

for our Equity Shares may not develop The price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several factors, including volatility in the Indian and global securities markets, the results of our operations, the performance of our competitors, developments in the Indian readymade garment and note/exercise books sector and changing perceptions in the market about investments in the Indian readymade garment and note/exercise books sector, adverse media reports on us or in the Indian readymade garment and note/exercise books sector, changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts, significant developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies, and significant developments in India’s fiscal regulations. 24) Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity Shares The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Indian stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. These exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements. Further, disputes have occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Indian stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar problems occur in the future, the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares could be adversely affected.

25) Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Rupee and the United States dollar could have a material adverse effect on the value of Shares, independent of our Company’s operating results.

The Shares are quoted in Rupees on the BSE. Any dividends in respect of the Shares will be paid in Rupees and subsequently converted into US dollars for repatriation. Any adverse movement in exchange rates during the time it takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to investors. In addition, any adverse movement in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating outside India the proceeds from a sale of Shares, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Shares may reduce the net proceeds received by shareholders. The exchange rate between the Rupee and the U.S. dollar has changed substantially in the last two decades and could fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and returns from the Shares, independent of our Company’s operating results. 26) Future issuances or sales of the Shares could significantly affect the trading price of the

Shares The future issuances of Shares by our Company or the disposal of Shares by any of the major shareholders of our Company or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur may significantly affect the trading price of the Shares. There can be no assurance that our Company will not issue further Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber their Shares. 27) There is no guarantee that the Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the BSE in

a timely manner or at all. In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after those Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval will require all other relevant documents authorising the issuing of Shares to be submitted. Approval will require all other relevant documents authorising the issuing of Shares to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Shares on the BSE. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Shares. Further, historical trading prices, therefore, may not be indicative of the prices at which the Shares will trade in the future. 28) Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limit our

Company’s ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of the Shares.

Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and residents freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer or shares, which are sought to be transferred is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. Our Company cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

The industry has enormous opportunities for domestic as well as international investors given its consistent growth performance, abundant cheap skilled manpower and growing domestic demand. With the abolition of quotas, India has surged ahead of other countries and positioned itself as a value-added manufacturer with a varied material base, an educated and English-speaking class of executives with high product development and design orientation. On the global front, India is set to become an even bigger participant, both as a consumer and as a producer. The country offers an attractive combination of a large domestic market, and a base for low cost production. The industry has gained a strong position in cotton based products, especially in the readymade garments and home furnishings segment, which are expected to be the key drivers of growth for the industry.

Page 17: INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 … · 2014-04-03 · INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Dated: September 13, 2012 HARIA APPARELS LIMITED (Incorporated as Haria Apparels Limited

15

Garment Business of HEL be segregated from its Stationery and Note Book Business and transferred to and vested in the Resulting Company by way of a Demerger ), and that the Amalgamating Company (as hereinafter defined) be amalgamated with HEL by way of the Amalgamation with a view to creating focused entities engaged in

(i) the Garment Business (ii) the Stationery and Note Book Businesses respectively.

II The reorganization of various businesses as contemplated in the Scheme would, inter alia, have the following benefits:

a) The Demerger and the Amalgamations pursuant to this Scheme will create a focused platform for

future growth of the Stationery and Note Book Business, distinct from the Demerged Undertaking which will be operated in the Resulting Company.

b) The Stationery and Note Book Business and the Garment business each have tremendous growth

and profitability potential and require focused leadership and management attention. c) Fund raising from investors based on their sector preference. d) The nature of technology, risk and competition involved in each of these businesses is distinct and is

capable of addressing independent business opportunities, deploying different technologies and attracting a different set of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders.

e) Facilitating sector specific Technology & Marketing tie-ups and collaboration including arrangements f) There are also differences in the manner in which each of these businesses are required to be

managed. The Scheme will result in focused business operations of HEL and the Resulting Company and allow them increased flexibility in taking advantage of the huge growth opportunities in their respective business segments.

g) Cash management and funds deployment of the combined business of the Amalgamating

Companies can be efficiently handled. h) Cost savings are expected to flow from rationalization and simplification of business processes and

elimination of duplication of work in various support functions. i) Greater internal control on the business processes by combining similar businesses together and

ease of decision-making of the respective verticals. j) Unlocking shareholders value k) The scheme is beneficial to both the companies and their shareholders as it will enhance

shareholder value. The current equity shareholders of the HEL would continue to remain its shareholders as also become shareholders of the Resulting Company, thereby giving them an opportunity to participate in the management, operations, decision-making and profits of both the companies. It also gives the shareholders the flexibility to invest in only one of the two listed companies

l) The Amalgamation will also result in: a. Synergies in procurement, manufacturing, administration and marketing operations. b. Achieving economies of scale.

c. Pooling of the human talents in terms of manpower, management, administration and marketing

which would result in savings of costs.

d. Cost saving in fees/ duties payable on statutory and procedural compliance.

• Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) The Government has restructured the TUFS, the flagship scheme of Ministry of Textiles for

upgradation of technology in the textile and jute sectors. The ministry has issued the Government Resolution on Restructured TUFS for the period 28.04.2011 to 31.03.2012 (both the days inclusive) with an overall subsidy cap of Rs 1,972 crore (US$ 0.43 billion) during the period. The objective of the present Scheme is to leverage investments in technology upgradation in the Textiles and Jute Industry, with a special emphasis on balanced development across the value chain.

• The Scheme for Integrated Textile Park (SITP) The scheme was approved in July 2005 to facilitate setting up of textiles parks with world class

infrastructure facilities. Forty parks have been sanctioned till December 31, 2010 in nine states. The estimated project cost (for common infrastructure and common facilities) is ` 4,193.65 Crore (US$ 0.93 billion), of which Government of India assistance would be ` 1,419.69 Crore (US$ 0.31 billion). The projected investment in these parks is ` 19,456.90 Crore (US$ 4.32 billion) and estimated annual production is Rs 33,568.50 Crore (US$ 7.45 billion).

• Integrated Skill Development Scheme - The Government launched the Integrated Skill

Development Scheme for the T&C Sector, including Jute & Handicrafts, in September 2010. The main objective of the scheme is to address the trained manpower needs of textiles and related segments. The Scheme would target to train approximately 2,56,000 persons during 2010-11 and 2011-12.

• The government has initiated a number of steps to ensure raw materials security for the textiles

industry. In order to balance the interests of all stake holders across the value chain. A multipronged approach was adopted which included capping of cotton exports at 55 lac bales for cotton season 2010 – 11; and permitting yarn exports of 720 million kgs for the year 2010-11.

• Fiscal incentives are provided for exports of T&C items under various provisions of the Foreign Trade

Policy 2009-14. • The textile industry is also being supported with an extensive skill development programme to train 3

million persons over a 5 year period, by leveraging the strength of existing institutions under the textile ministry.

• India has the most liberal and transparent policies in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) amongst

emerging countries. Under the automatic route, 100 per cent FDI is allowed in the textile sector. FDI in sectors to the extent permitted under automatic route does not require any prior approval either by the Government of India or Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

• The government has proposed some more relaxations for the branded garments sector, besides

enhancement of duty abatement from 40 per cent to 55 per cent.

The Road Ahead India's T&C industry has great potential, and is one of the mainstays of the country’s economy. The industry has enormous opportunities for domestic as well as international investors given its consistent growth performance, abundant cheap skilled manpower and growing domestic demand. With the abolition of quotas, India has surged ahead of other countries and positioned itself as a value-added manufacturer with a varied material base, an educated and English-speaking class of executives with high product development and design orientation. On the global front, India is set to become an even bigger participant, both as a consumer and as a producer. The country offers an attractive combination of a large domestic market, and a base for low cost production. The industry has gained a strong position in cotton based products, especially in the readymade garments and home furnishings segment, which are expected to be the key drivers of growth for the industry.

The Textile Policy also contains sector specific agendas.

measures in light of the WTO rules and regulations, including strategic alliances with leading global manufacturers and the establishment of textile/apparel parks. The Ministry of Textiles announced the formulation of the National Textile Policy, 2000 ("Textile Policy") in November 2000 with the objective of enabling the textile industry to attain and sustain a pre-eminent global standing in the manufacture and export of clothing. The Textile Policy envisages a multi-pronged strategy to achieve these long term goals. The strategy aims at modernising the equipment and technology that is used in the sector and simultaneously strengthening the traditional knowledge, skills and capabilities in this sector. 3. Cotton Control Order 1986 The Cotton (Control) Order, 1986 ("Cotton Order") prescribes the maximum quantity of cotton that may be possessed by a manufacturer, a cotton ginning factory, a cotton pressing factory, a cotton ginning and pressing factory and a person (other than a member of a Hindu Undivided Family growing cotton). The Cotton Order establishes the office of the Textile Commissioner as the regulator thereunder. The Cotton Order further specifies the quality standards that have to be met while picking cotton for the purposes of export and domestic consumption as well as the markings that have to be made on the cotton bale before marketing of the same. Trade related incentives 1. Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme The scheme facilitates import of capital goods at 5% concessional rate of duty with appropriate export obligation. Import of second hand capital goods without any restriction on age is also allowed under the Foreign Trade Policy, which came into effect on September 01, 2004. The Foreign Trade Policy also permits EPCG license holders to opt for technological upgradation for their existing capital goods imported under the EPCG license, subject to certain prescribed conditions. 2. Advance licensing scheme With a view to facilitating exports and to access duty-free inputs under the scheme, standard input-output norms for about 300 textiles and clothing export products have been prescribed and this scheme remained under operation. 3. Duty entitlement pass book ("DEPB") scheme DEPB credit rates have been prescribed for 83 textiles and clothing products. The scheme aims to neutralize the incidence of basic and special custom duty on the import content of the export product, by way of grant of duty credit against the export product at specified rates. However, these export incentives may be reviewed shortly to make them WTO-compatible. 4. Duty drawback scheme Exporters are allowed refund of the excise and import duty suffered on inputs of the export products under this scheme. The Ministry of Finance, GoI announced the revised "All Industry Rates of Duty Drawback", which came into effect on May 05, 2005. The drawback rates have been determined on the basis of certain broad parameters including, inter alia, the prevailing prices of input, standard input/output norms published by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, share of imports in the total consumption of inputs and the applied rates of duty. Regulations for Foreign Investment 1. FEMA Regulations As laid down by the FEMA Regulations, no prior consents and approvals are required from the Reserve Bank of India, for Foreign Direct Investment under the 'automatic route' within the specified sectoral caps. In respect of all industries not specified as FDI under the automatic route, and in respect of investment in excess of the specified sectoral limits under the automatic route, approval may be required from the FIPB and/or the RBI. Presently, investments in companies engaged in the textile sector fall under the RBI's 'automatic route' for FDI/NRI investment of up to 100%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Haria Apparels Limited (“HAL”) is a company incorporated on February 01, 2011 under the Companies Act, 1956, with the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai. The Registration no. and CIN assigned to our Company is 212887 and U18204MH2011PLC212887 respectively. The Registered Office of the Company is situated at 8, Subhash Road, Vile Parle (East), Mumbai, Maharashtra – 400 057. Since HAL is a recently incorporated company, it has not commenced any operations. As on March 31, 2011, the Authorized Share Capital of the Company (prior to the effectiveness of the Scheme) was ` 500,000 divided into 50,000 Equity Shares of ` 10/- each. Upon the Scheme being made effective on May 1, 2011 the authorized share capital of the Company stood at ` 80,000,000 divided into 8,000,000 Equity Shares of `10 /- each. The management of Haria Exports Limited was of the opinion that the Scheme of Arrangement would lead to synergies of operations and more particularly the following benefits:

• HAL is engaged in the business of manufacture and exports of Garments.

• In order to explore the potential to the fullest and provide focused leadership and management attention, it was intended to demerge the garment division to HAL.

• Further in the interest of the shareholders of HEL it is believed that the demerger of Garment

division to a separate company with a focused strategy would enhance shareholder value.
