719th Annual Report

Making growth fashionable.

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to share with you the 19th Annual Report of your company.

Retail industry continues to be one of the fastest growing industries and India is one of the youngest consumer

markets in the world. The last 2 years have been very significant for the organized retail industry in India as the

unstable economic situation posed several challenges to a nascent industry at the cusp of growth. Many new players

entered the retailing space in the last few years and some of them succumbed to the crisis that started globally and

also hit the Indian shores.

Excessive leverage, inadequate internal controls, weak logistical support and unnatural growth aspirations were possibly

the key factors that is attributable to some of the failures in the organized retail segment. These market indicators

have reinforced our confidence into the business model of your company and your company has emerged stronger

and even more focused after the global economic downturn. Your company sensed the impending slowdown a little

early and started cutting down on inventory and implemented stringent cost controls. This led to a dip in the profitability

in FY2008-09 but has positioned the company well to achieve strong growth in sales and profits in FY2009-10.

Today, your company stands apart for its completely integrated operations that encompass the entire value chain,

right from design to production to branding and retailing. This has enabled the company to improve cost efficiencies,

exercise quality control, ensure timely deliveries and provide customers with a world class shopping experience.

On the business front, your company recorded growth in sales of 21% to Rs. 175.28 crores and profit after tax

increased by 128% to Rs. 32.52 crores. Considering the improved performance your Board of Directors has

recommended a dividend of Rs. 6/- per equity share of Rs. 10/- each.

The Indian economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience to the global headwinds and continues to grow at a

robust pace. Your company is optimistic about the long term potential of the Indian markets and has taken several

steps towards creating a system driven, high performance organization by targeting sustainable and profitable growth.

The ever rising rental for commercial premises, availability of quality retail space and service tax on rent still remain a

From the Chairman’s Desk

cause of concern for the retail industry.

“Killer” the flagship brand of your company is one of the few brands in the country today with a presence of more than

2 decades. “Killer” continues to be vibrant brand with a strong value proposition. Our other brands LawmanPg3,

Easies and Integriti have created a niche in the market and have consistently registered a commendable growth year

on year. Your company will retain focus on its key power brands and intends to nurture them further and replicate

similar success across all.

We have ramped up our store role out and as on 31st March 2010 have 139 retail stores apart from a wide distribution

network of multi brand outlets and increased presence in large format stores. The company intends to increase its

retail presence through more retail outlets under the franchisee operation model. The focus would be on expanding

reach into Tier II and Tier III cities where the products are already available through other formats and there is

familiarity with the company’s brands. The other areas of growth include women wear and lifestyle accessories. Your

company is optimistic about the potential in the lifestyle accessories business. During the year under review your

company has launched a retail format ‘ADDICTION’ for its lifestyle accessories business.

Your company also participated in the prestigious Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2010 to showcase the spring

summer collection in association with Mr. Narendra Kumar Ahmed; one of the India’s leading fashion designers. Such

events give your company a platform to showcase its innovative and trendsetting products.

While your company is on an expansion spree and is increasing its footprints on a pan India level several steps are

being taken in enhancing internal controls and systems that will support its growth aspiration with adherence to the

highest levels of risk management and corporate governance standards.

Innovation at Kewal Kiran Clothing Ltd. is an everyday mantra and all efforts are focused towards creating and delivering

high quality, fashionable products to meet the discerning wants of an ever demanding customer base. Your Company

would continue to be the country’s trendsetters.

With this note I thank you all co-owners for being a part of the Kewal Kiran Family. I take this opportunity to thank our

dedicated team for their valuable support and cooperation without which the company would not have been able to

reach the position it enjoys today. I would also take this opportunity to thank my colleagues on the Board for their

valuable participation and contribution while guiding the course of the company.

Industry structure and developments

The impact of the global crisis resulted in a dip in the GDP growth rate to 6.7% from near 9% in the past few years. Thefinancial stimulus package announced by the Government reduced the intensity of the slowdown and supported a fasterthan expected recovery in the economy. Most sectors witnessed resumption of growth during the year mainly driven bystrong traction in the manufacturing sector. However, agriculture still plays a vital role in the Indian economy and adeficient monsoon stunted the overall growth which along with inflationary conditions can be a potential area of concern.

Consumer sentiments improved significantly during the year as consumers in Asia Pacific and specifically in Indiawere amongst the first to cut back on discretionary spending during the period of crisis. The retail sector whichwitnessed challenging headwinds and resulted in some companies facing bankruptcy due to high leverage, has stageda strong recovery with enhanced consumer spending amid reducing uncertainty.

The key lessons from the experience of the past few years have reinforced the philosophy of your company to targetsustainable and profitable growth without compromising on financial prudence and have held your company on firmground even in a challenging environment.

The Apparel industry in India is the second largest category in overall retail and has been the largest category inorganised retail. The organized retail market is evolving and it is imperative to develop business models that cansustainably capture the growth.

Tier I cities have represented the highest demand, however one growing trend is the emergence of suburbs andsatellite townships which are now moving towards becoming significant centres of demand in their own right. Alsowhile urban markets have a big middle class engaged in varied industries, the populace of Tier II cities is moredependent on agriculture. This necessitates a focused approach by your company to tap into each segment.

Notwithstanding the challenges for success in this sector, the size and growth of this industry provides strongopportunities that your company is well positioned to leverage based on its strength of strong brands, formidabledistribution network and robust financial position.
