Statement
Dear Shareholder, On behalf of the Board of Directors (the Board), it is my pleasure to submit to you the Annual Report and audited results of CIEL Textile Limited (CTL/the Company) for the year ended June 30, 2012. Group Financial Results As recently announced in the published condensed financial statements, the Group posted significantly improved profits for the current year as a result of good order books, improved efficiency and aggressive cost reduction measures.Whilst all clusters and countries contributed positively to this years result, 70% of profitability was generated from our international operations. Group profit after tax for the financial year ended June 30, 2012 stood at Rs. 515.9M (2011: Rs. 214.5M), a remarkable improvement on last years results. The Groups cash flow has also improved significantly and the Board has approved the redemption of Redeemable Preference shares which had been issued to the financial institutions in consideration for their financial support during the financial crisis which prevailed in Madagascar back in 2002/2003. This process will be completed within the financial year ending June 30, 2013 and therefore the said shares have been reclassified from equity to current liabilities as at June 30, 2012. Outlook External factors remain generally negative, both on our major markets and on the currency front. Our short-term priorities remain to increase our sales potential and limit margin erosion due to excess supply over demand. As a result, we anticipate earnings in the coming first semester to be lower than that of the financial year ended June 30, 2012. Dividend It is encouraging to note that for the financial year ended June 30, 2012, the Company has declared an interim dividend of Rs. 0.30 per ordinary share on February 14, 2012 (2011: Rs. 0.20) and a final dividend of Rs. 0.70 per ordinary share on June 18, 2012 (2011: Rs 0.35).
Floreal Knitwear Ltd Floreal Knitwear Ltd celebrates this year 40 years of existence. I wish to thank all the employees who by their commitment, are placing the Manufacturing excellence at the heart of Floreal Knitwear Ltds factories with its high level of consistency, reliability and quality standards. Floreal Knitwear Ltd has now become the premier knitwear manufacturer in the African Sub Saharan Region and amongst the largest woolmark knitwear manufacturers in the world. Textile industry in Mauritius started very much together with the opening of Floreal Knitwear Ltd 40 years ago by Hong Kong industrials. Officially opened on June 5, 1972, Floreal Knitwear Ltd was the first Knitwear factory to operate in Mauritius, producing knitted Shetland wool and lambswool sweaters on hand flat machines. Floreal Knitwear Ltd was then purchased in 1973 by Sir Pierre Dalais, representing CIEL, a subsidiary of Deep River-Beau Champ Limited at that time. Floreal Knitwear Ltd employs today 5,300 team members and has now established itself as an International business with a vertically integrated woollen spinning mill and an annual production of 5 million high quality sweaters manufactured in Floreals own factories in Mauritius but also in two of the most competitive industrial locations in the world namely Madagascar & Bangladesh. It has given birth to CIEL Textile who employs now 17,000 people in four countries. Appreciation On behalf of the Board and in my own personal name, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the very committed management team of CIEL Textile and staff for the outstanding results achieved. I would also like to thank the Board members for their active support and contribution during the year. Special thanks to my colleague Director, Mr. G. Christian Dalais who has retired after having contributed to the affairs of the Company since the acquisition of Floreal Knitwear Ltd. I would like to welcome Messrs. Roger Espitalier Nol and Maurice P. Dalais, who have been appointed Directors by the Board, and recommend their appointment by the shareholders at the coming Annual Meeting. I invite you to go through the Executives Report for information on the operations of the different clusters of the Group. P. Arnaud Dalais Chairman September 26, 2012

Executives
Report
Dear Shareholder,
Whilst external factors were rather negative during the past year (depressed market in Europe), CIEL Textile Limited (CTL) has managed to grow its turnover and market share as well as doubled its profitability. This has been made possible as our internationalisation strategy is starting to pay off and continuous progress is being achieved on internal operational excellence of most of our operations. The other highlight this year is that all three clusters contributed positively to the Groups profitability. Overall, the Groups turnover increased by 9.7% to Rs. 8,643Bn whilst net profit after tax grew by 140% from Rs. 214M to Rs. 515M. Most of the turnovers growth was achieved in Asia, whilst the lion share of profit growth was attributable to Aquarelle Groups operations in India (Aquarelle India (Private) Limited and Laguna Clothing Limited). The woven division (Aquarelle Group) was the largest contributor to turnover, growth and profits. This is the result of an excellent strategy of internationalisation, with great management execution, starting to bear fruit. The Groups operations in India had outstanding results, both in terms of customer satisfaction and profitability. Its regional operations also improved and investments in Pastel Blue (ladies blouses) and New Island Clothing Ltd (formal shirts) starting to pay off. There is a great management team in place and significant progress was made in operational excellence. Prospects for medium growth in sales and profitability are very good in the woven cluster which represent more than 50% of the Groups turnover. The globalisation of Aquarelle Groups business model and its management infrastructure are the short term challenges and priorities. The knitwear division posted stronger profitability for the same level of turnover. This was attributable mainly to regional profitability (Mauritius and Madagascar) whilst Bangladesh operations were close to a break-even result. Operational excellence and customer satisfaction were maintained at an excellent level in the region, whilst a lot remains to be done for the Bangladesh operations to perform to the same level. Sales and margins dropped in the second half of the year. Management teams priority is therefore to consolidate regional sales and margins and build operational excellence and management infrastructure in Bangladesh. The knits cluster has confirmed its improvement process by posting reasonable profits for the first time in three years. Operational effectiveness improved substantially at Tropic Knits Limited and, coupled with improved margins, explain the return to profitability. This return to profitability has provided a big motivational boost to its young and talented management team. However, a lot remains to be done to reach the high standards of customer satisfaction and operational excellence achieved in our woven and knitwear clusters. Consolidation is the key priority in this cluster to provide solid foundations for future growth and internationalisation strategy.
The performance of our divisions on the non-financial score boards can be summarised as follows: - On the customer satisfaction score board, the knitwear cluster has performed very well as usual. The biggest progress was in the woven cluster where Aquarelle India (Private) Limited has had outstanding customer ratings and the rest of the cluster improved across the board on product quality. T he knits cluster showed marginal progress and a lot remains to be done on reliability, customer service and communication. As the market gets more competitive, internally, we need to further improve customer satisfaction and senior management is focused on leading its teams in this quest. - Generally, operational effectiveness has posted another great year of general improvement, as evidenced by improved internal KPIs across the board. Our yearly Manufacturing Excellence Award process is really paying off as cross-fertilisation and a healthy competition take place between our 18 factories and their management teams. The woven cluster has shown the fastest pace of improvements, closely followed by the knits cluster. - On the human capital front, I am glad to report that in general, both the quality and the attitude of our teams are progressing. Improved profitability despite tough market conditions has been a confidence booster for our teams. Today, one of our strengths is to be able to attract quality people from Mauritius, Madagascar, India, Bangladesh and Europe, and our management teams are getting more and more international. - From a management infrastructure (systems and organisation) standpoint, the woven cluster is the benchmark with excellent discipline in establishing and running world class systems and routines. Both the knitwear and knits clusters are focused on improving their score in this crucial area, so as to solidify their structure and performance. Floreal Bangladesh and Tropic Knits Limited are the Groups priorities in the coming years in terms of developing world class management infrastructure. In conclusion, the financial year ended June 30 2012, has shown very encouraging financial results, and I use this opportunity to congratulate our teams and thank them for their commitment and efforts. Our software (non-financial score boards) is also getting stronger.
19
External Factors Globally speaking, external factors affecting our operations are expected to be slightly negative in the short-term. - Our major markets (Europe and USA) are not performing well as GDP growth is mild. However, our minor markets, South Africa and India are showing better growth rates and prospects. - On the currency front, the Mauritian currency (our reporting currency) has continued to strengthen v/s customer and competitor baskets. This was mitigated by a sharp fall in the Indian Rupee, as well as weaker Bangladeshi Taka and Malagasy Ariary. - On the competition front, there is still awish by most customers to reduce their exposure to China. This benefits us as we are positioning ourselves as the best alternative to China with our presence in the Indian and Sub-Sahara African region. - Raw material prices have dropped to more reasonable levels and this is positive in view of pricing for our customers. Globally however, the market remains a buyers one and pressure on margins is being felt, especially in the knits and knitwear divisions. Our Strategy Our best alternative to China strategy by internationalising our operations into the Indian sub-continent is still on and appropriate. This process takes many years to successfully implement, but Aquarelles Group success in its internationalisation process has given us confidence that we can do it successfully. Floreal Knitwear Limited is undertaking its internationalisation in Bangladesh and is meeting challenges, which we are confident will be overcome. As for Tropic Knits Limited, we need to further consolidate customer satisfaction, management infrastructure and operational excellence in the region before we invest in our growth in Asia.
Our short-term priority remains consolidation, especially in the knits and knitwear divisions, whilst moderate growth will be pursued in Asia for the Aquarelle Group. Our ambition to be part of The Club of world class operations, supplying customers demanding very high standards of performance, remains a priority. We will therefore emphasise getting better v/s growing fast. Outlook The first semester should show a drop in profitability as lower sales and margins in the knitwear cluster are expected to offset potential improved results in the woven and knits clusters. As regards the second semester, results will depend on the quality of the order books and the operational effectiveness across our operations. In the medium-term, only moderate growth is expected whilst we work on solidifying our management teams and management infrastructure. I invite you to read the individual cluster reports which give more details on each of our three clusters.

KNITS
Tropic Knits Limited (TKL) As a result to the deep restructuring undergone throughout the last two years, TKL has confirmed its turnaround. Even though a slight reduction in turnover is noticed, the company is now posting its first profit in four years. The major factors contributing to this improvement in profitability are: - Much improved fabric consumption control; - Good productivity gain in both Mauritius and Madagascar; - Good improvement of reject rate control; - A good order book with reasonable margins; and - A more mature management team with a better synergy with the fabric mills one. Operational performance has been up to expectation in Mauritius and good progress has been recorded in Madagascar. An improved efficiency, a globally lower reject rate, coupled with a balanced product mix have permitted an encouraging breakthrough. We have also given very strong attention to inventory and stock control, internal audit as well as reinforcement of security across the operation. In terms of cost per minute reduction, even though the result shows a good trend, more progress is expected in the coming months, and we expect to soon close the gap with our local competitiors. Customer satisfaction is generally good with some perspective of further improvement. Our target has now been reset to a more ambitious one, with the perspective to introduce new customers with higher profile. This 2012/2013 financial year will be the one of consolidation. We are actually undergoing a deep rethinking of our market and product positioning and are setting the pace for a new five year strategy plan. We shall also explore the possibility to start some operations in the Far-East. For the next twelve months, international scene is still under low visibility and high uncertainty pertains. Far-East competition is fierce and there is more pressure on prices. The improvement in the non-financial score board is the key to our success. This will only happen with a strong dynamic and motivated team who will deliver world class operational performance and strong customer satisfaction.
Consolidated Dyeing & Fabrics Limited (CDFL) For the financial year ended June 30, 2012, CDFL posted a reasonable financial performance with profitability remaining at the same level as the previous year. Despite continuous improvement on all main operational key performance indicators, CDFL was affected by an under loading situation during the first semester of 2012. This resulted in a loss in economies of scale on fixed overheads and thus higher production cost per kilo. Customer satisfaction in general remained on the upward trend. CDFLs sales to the export market are now stable with a well established customer base. However, the management team remains cautious as product offering and quality are key elements to succeed on this market. On the operational side, significant focus was put during the year to continuously improve product offering and quality. This was achieved through an important training program of our supervisors and grassroots, supported by external experts and consultants. We are confident that the team commitment and hard work towards operational excellence is making headway, as shown by the sustained progress of our operational key performance indicators. On the energy side, CDFL kept improving its energy consumption (heavy fuel oil and electricity) per kilo of fabric produced during the year. The companys capital expenditure for the year was mainly driven by product quality and energy efficiency. This moderated the impact of the continuously increasing energy costs on our cost per Kg. CDFL commitment towards carbon footprint emission reached another milestone this year by receiving the Blue Carbon Award 2011 in the Absolute Industry category from the Mauritius Export Association. Cost of our main raw material, cotton yarn, is now stabilizing slowly since last year turmoil where we have seen very high volatility. However, management remains cautious in its sourcing strategy. Despite the current economic climate, the management is confident that with the above strategy and actions, CDFL financial results should keep progressing.

KNITWEAR
Floreal Knitwear Limited (FKL)
The profitability of FKL came from a high margin order book of the Autumn/Winter 2012 season which was shipped this year, coupled with an outstanding operational performance from all our units. Excellent delivery and quality performance resulted in high customer satisfaction overall. A review per geographical location of our operations is as follows: Mauritius 662,000 pieces were produced in Mauritius, all from automatic machines. Excellent Key Performance Indicators were achieved in terms of reject rate, on time delivery and quality levels. We are presently working on upgrading some of the ageing machines for improved productivity. The Mauritian factory is also at present testing and trialling new methods which we expect will lower significantly the work minute content per sweater. Successful methods will then be applied to Madagascars and Bangladeshs operations. Madagascar 3,072,000 pieces were produced from our two factories. World class operational performance was also achieved. As you might recall in 2010, we sold and leased back the building of our factory 2. The lease period will not be renewed as from May 2014 and we are presently looking at an alternative site to transfer this operation. This should be done in the next low season so as to cause less impact on manufacturing output. The loss of the AGOA status of Madagascar for exporting duty free to the United States is making it more difficult for us to enter this market. We are however keeping significant marketing efforts so as to be ready once the Malagasy AGOA duty free status is restored. Bangladesh Our operation in Bangladesh, with a production of 1,189,000 pieces made significant progress during the year and came close to a break-even situation in its second year of existence. Bangladesh is a challenging country to operate in and, as our country knowledge improves, we are confident to build there not only a strong manufacturing base but also a key marketing platform to capture the high customer presence and traffic happening in this country.
China Although we had a profitable year from our sub-contracting and training operation in China with a production of 200,000 pieces, we have decided to close this activity due to the rising costs and weak order book to be placed there going forward. Outlook and Prospect for the Future Due to the current economic situation in Europe and the excess worldwide manufacturing capacity we expect a lot of pressure on our margins for the coming year. We are taking necessary steps to welcome new strategic customers and to produce higher value products such as cashmere and expect this will produce positive results in the medium term.
Our market in the weaving sector is continuously growing in new countries like Germany and Lithuania, the traditional UK and Italian markets are also growing from strength to strength. Customer satisfaction rating has been very high. In the UK the delivery service from Bradford is now strongly anchored and it is giving stronger customer allegiance with increase in business. Quality, innovation, product engineering, on time delivery, quick response and regular visits to customers in Europe are creating new opportunities for Ferney. To improve our competitiveness we have recently invested to replace an ageing production line. That investment will allow us to restructure our work shift pattern to adapt to the new market and social conditions. It will also improve work conditions on the spinning lines with automated frames. The increase in capacity will also further help us respond to shorter overloaded peak seasons with customers taking decisions much later than usual. The line is also designed for coarse yarn production that will respond to the new requirements of both the weaving and knitting markets. The forecasted financial results for the coming year will be lower due to the worsening economic climate but with the growing market in the weaving business, the constant efforts in FKL to sell woollen yarns and the proactive management policies, we shall create new opportunities to improve the budgeted results.

WOVEN
The woven clusters profit after tax has increased from Rs. 103.3M in 2010/2011 to Rs. 268.9M in 2011/2012. The major profit increase contribution came from our Indian operations which have now overcome our initial manufacturing capacities build-up costs. We have managed as well to turn all our 2010/2011 loss making business units into profitable once in 2011/2012 (New Island Clothing Limited, Pastel Blue and our Bangladesh trading operation). Our reported turnover shows a 27% increase, which is mainly due to 15 months reporting of our India operations. On a 12 months basis, our turnover has increased by 10%. Our operations in India and Bangladesh account now for more than 40% of our total turnover. As explained in last year Executives report, we are now managing the woven cluster into 4 sub-clusters: Casual shirts Formal shirts Ladies blouses Fabrics (Consolidated Fabrics Limited) Casual Shirt: Aquarelle Clothing Limited Mauritius, Madagascar, India and Bangladesh - 7.5M pieces It is by far our largest cluster with a 2011/2012 turnover of more than Rs. 2.6Bn. After a challenging first semester mainly in our Mauritian operation, we have experienced a continuous improvement of our operational performances. The level of customer satisfaction is generally on a very good trend, except for Bangladesh where we have recently experienced some serious delivery delays. Our Bangladesh operation is reporting to Mr. Nagesh Badida, General Manager of Aquarelle India (Private) Limited since July 2012. Aquarelle India (Private) Limited is our current benchmark for customer satisfaction and we are very confident that Mr. Nagesh Badida will align Bangladeshs performance to the rest of the Group.
Formal Shirt: Laguna Clothing Limited (India) and New Island Clothing Limited (Mauritius) - 3.5M pieces 2011/2012 highlight was surely the excellent profitability of Laguna Clothing Limited and the break-even results achieved by New Island Clothing Limited (NIC) (against Rs. 12M loss in 2010/2011). Since January 2012, Mr. Elvis Cateaux, General Manager of NIC, is reporting to Mr. Sarbajit Ghose, Executive Director of Laguna Clothing Limited who is now heading our formal shirt cluster. Customer satisfaction is generally very good and the quality of our formal shirt cluster is excellent. NIC has now entered into the non-iron shirt market segment in the USA, which is huge. If initial orders are executed successfully, we shall experience a steady growth of NIC in Mauritius. Ladies Blouses: Pastel Blue (Mauritius and Madagascar) 800,000 pieces 2011/2012 was mainly a year of consolidation with major improvements in operational KPIs and customer satisfaction, which have led to a profit after tax of Rs. 10.6M against a loss in the previous year. The product development capabilities are really outstanding, which have allowed the company to rapidly attract new customers. We are also expecting a continuous growth of Pastel Blue in the coming year. Consolidated Fabrics Limited (CFL) - 7.2M metres We have experienced some business drops from our regional non-captive market which have seriously affected our profitability. The trend has been quite positive in 2011/2012 on customer satisfaction and operational performances. External demand remaining soft, we are actively increasing CFLs fabric purchase from our regional garment operations (Aquarelle Clothing Limited, Pastel Blue and NIC). Our order book is currently full, but margins remain low. 2012/2013 profitability will be challenging for CFL, but long term perspective remains positive.
Outlook The woven cluster is now strategically very well positioned with a very strong presence in Asia. Our sub-cluster approach has brought about a very material improvement in specific product handwriting (Casual, Formal & Ladies) and is proving to be a successful strategy. Despite the challenging economic environment, we can be reasonably optimistic about the woven cluster business perspectives.

Peter Gilmour, General Manager of CTL Retail Ltd
The continued weakening of the European economy and resulting loss of consumer confidence, has led to a downturn in tourist spend and has made retailing conditions extremely difficult. Tourists continue to book on All Inclusive packages and restrict their spending outside of the hotels to a minimum. Mauritian spend, has in turn also deteriorated. We have at the same time, seen the opening of several new Malls and the arrival of numerous new players. As a result of both a depressed market, a diluted consumer spend and the erosion of our market share through the proliferation of new brands and stores, our revenue has declined by 10% over the financial year. In this difficult environment, measures were taken to lower our overheads and costs in order to remain profitable. 2012/2013 is expected to remain morose and no upturn is expected in the immediate future. Our focus will therefore be to consolidate our operations, reduce costs where possible and growing customer satisfaction to compete with the new challenges we are facing. To this effect, the Blu River shop in the Caudan will be closed and the Harris Wilson shop will be renovated to incorporate both brands.

CIEL Textile Limited (CTL) has been committed to a sustainable development policy for many years. In 2004, it became a partner in launching the Fondation Nouveau Regard, the social responsibility arm of the CIEL Group and end of 2006, it opened the Valle de Ferney to the public, while saving it from the destruction which had been planned for it. This year, nearly Rs. 15M, of which Rs. 2.8M came from the CSR contribution of CTL as at June 30, 2011, have been spent on various projects. The Fondation Nouveau Regard Accredited by the National CSR Committee as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), the Fondation Nouveau Regard (FNR) has been empowered to receive the CSR tax contribution of the subsidiary and associate companies of CTL since February 2010. It has since spent these funds on projects corresponding to the criteria set by its Board of Directors, while following the legal guidelines of the law governing this tax. Thus, this year, 80% of the amount received was used to finance projects managed by local NGOs in such areas as the fight against poverty, education, disability and health. In line with government policy, the struggle against poverty has been the spearhead of the Fondation Nouveau Regards action this year. At the end of 2010, FNR launched a large-scale integrated community development project in partnership with Caritas: La Caze Lespwar.

This project, located at Solitude, assists communities living in poverty and facing difficulties in the regions of Solitude, Triolet, Plaine des Papayes, Pointe aux Piments, and now reaching even as far as Arsenal. It provides services adapted to the needs of these population groups: education and training, community gardening, breakfast for pupils, sports, holiday activities for children, activities for women, and, in the next few months, a solidarity shop and a pre-school centre/creativity centre. An average of 250 persons per week uses the centre. In addition to this major project, FNR continues to foster the integration of street children by supporting the SAFIRE voluntary association, of which it has been a partner since 2005. In the field of education, FNR supports alternative education. Thanks to the ANFEN network and to the Zippy programme of ICJM, children with learning difficulties have access to education. FNR is also strongly committed to providing disabled children with access to education: thus, in January 2010 it opened the first secondary school for deaf children in collaboration with the NGO Society for the Welfare of the Deaf. In 2010, the Form 1 pre-vocational programme was launched with 20 pupils, then From II in 2011 and Form III in 2012. Today, around 50 children benefit from schooling and will be channelled to vocational training courses at the end of it. Overall, this year FNR has helped 3,500 direct beneficiaries and 60,000 indirect ones thanks, among other activities, to the coming publication of 40,000 information and prevention brochures concerning the most common cancers in Mauritius, in partnership with the NGO Link to Life. In November 2011, FNR also sponsored the film Hope, of the NGO Friends in Hope, which supports persons with mental disorders and their families. Sport and Environment Sport is a unifying factor for gathering young people in pursuit of sound and positive values. That is why this year CTL has supported the Curepipe Starlight Sporting Club and the Faucon Flacq Sporting Club. FNR has an ongoing commitment to support the Valle de Ferney, more particularly for the setting-up of a field station with the objective to serve as living and working research quarters for biodiversity conservation at Valle de Ferney. The field station will also provide study experience opportunities to local nature NGOs, University of Mauritius students and foreign researchers.

Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements on pages 53 to 114 give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company at June 30, 2012 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and comply with the Mauritian Companies Act 2001.

2 Accounting Policies (CONTINUED) IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements. This standard builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in determining control where this is difficult to assess. This new standard might impact the entities that a group consolidates as its subsidiaries. The standard is effective on January 01, 2013. IFRS 11 Joint arrangements. This standard provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the arrangement and hence accounts for its interest in assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the joint operator has rights to the net assets of the arrangement and hence equity accounts for its interest. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed. The standard is effective on January 01, 2013. IFRS 12 Disclosures of interests in other entities. This standard includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. The standard is effective on January 01, 2013. IFRS 13 Fair value measurement. This standard aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRSs and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs or US GAAP. The standard is effective on January 01, 2013. IAS 27 (revised 2011) Separate financial statements. This standard includes the provisions on separate financial statements that are left after the control provisions of IAS 27 have been included in the new IFRS 10. The revised standard is applicable effective January 01, 2013. IAS 28 (revised 2011) Associates and joint ventures. This standard includes the requirements for joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted following the issue of IFRS 11. The revised standard is applicable effective January 01, 2013. Amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements, IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, and IFRS 12, Disclosure of interests in other entities. The amendment clarifies that the date of initial application is the first day of the annual period in which IFRS 10 is adopted for example, January 01, 2013 for a calendar-year entity that adopts IFRS 10 in 2013. Entities adopting IFRS 10 should assess control at the date of initial application; the treatment of comparative figures depends on this assessment. The amendment is effective on January 01, 2013. Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The IASB has issued amendments to the application guidance in IAS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation, that clarify some of the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet. However, the clarified offsetting requirements for amounts presented in the statement of financial position continue to be different from US GAAP. The amendments are effective on January 01, 2014.

Consolidation of New Island Clothing Limited, Laguna Clothing Ltd and Azzurri Company Ltd
New Island Clothing Limited, Laguna Clothing Ltd and Azzurri Company Ltd have been consolidated in the Groups financial statements, albeit holdings of 50% in each respective company, as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of each of those subsidiaries remains with the Group, under an agreement. Estimates and Assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Pension benefits
The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations. The subsidiaries in their respective countries of operations determine their appropriate discount rates at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates to high-quality government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension obligation. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions.
Revaluation of property
Property is measured at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income. The Group engaged independent valuation specialists to determine fair value as at June 30, 2012.
63
65
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. (d) Investments in Subsidiaries
67
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Groups cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated: represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and is not larger than an operating segment in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Negative goodwill on a bargain purchase represents the excess of the acquirers interest in the fair values of the identifiable net assets and liabilities acquired over the cost of acquisition. It is recognised immediately as gain from bargain purchase in the income statement. Negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of an associated company is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is included as income in the determination of the Groups share of associates profit or loss in the period the investment was acquired.
69
2 Accounting Policies (CONTINUED) (h) Other Investments and other Financial Assets (continued)
71
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where: t he rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; t he Company or the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; or t he Company or the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
2 Accounting Policies (CONTINUED) (m) Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities (continued)
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss. (n) Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
73
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group or Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group or Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
2 Accounting Policies (CONTINUED) (q) Derivative Financial Instruments Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. All derivatives are carried in current assets when amounts are receivable by the Company and in current liabilities when amounts are payable by the Company. (r) Retirement Benefit Obligations Depending on the company of the Group to which they provide services to some key members of the management are either on a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan.
75
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group or Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group or Company recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting date are discounted to their present value.
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: w here the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and i n respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except: w here the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and i n respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The principal temporary differences arise from depreciation on property, plant and equipment, revaluations of certain non-current assets, tax losses carried forward and on retirement benefit obligations. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Income tax relating to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
77
Value Added Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of value added tax except: w here the value added tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the value added tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of value added tax included.
The net amount of value added tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of accounts receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. (t) Finance Lease The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (u) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. (v) Trade Payables Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are stated at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2 Accounting Policies (CONTINUED) (w) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific criteria must also be met: (i) Sale of goods and services Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and upon customer acceptance, if any, or performance of services, net of value added taxes and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. The Group turnover reflects the invoiced values of knitted and woven garments and fabrics, inclusive of insurance and freight when sold on a cost, insurance and freight basis and in other cases on its free on board value for sales on free on board basis. (ii) Other operating income Other operating income earned by the Group are recognised on the following basis: Interest income - as it accrues (taking into account the effective yield on the asset) unless collectability is in doubt. D ividend income - when the shareholders right to receive payment is established. (x) Share Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Mandatorily redeemable preference shares are classified as liabilities. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Where any Group company purchases its equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Companys equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such shares are subsequently reissued, any net consideration received, is included in equity attributable to the Companys equity holders. (y) Dividend Distribution Dividend distribution to the Companys shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Groups financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Companys shareholders. (z) Non-Current Assets held for Sale Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through a continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only, when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. (aa) Grant Related to Income The company receives grants in relation to income which has been presented as a credit in the statement of comprehensive income under the heading Other operating income net.

The assets of the plan are invested in the CIEL Group Segregated Fund. The breakdown of the assets above correspond to a notional allocation of the underlying investments based on the long term strategy of the Fund. The Fund is expected to produce a smooth return, a fairly reasonable indication of future returns can be obtained by looking at historical ones. Therefore, the long term expected return on asset assumption has been based on historical performance of the Fund. In terms of the individual expected returns, the expected return on equities has been based on an equity risk premium above a risk free rate. The risk free rate has been measured in accordance to the yields on government bonds at the measurement date. The fixed interest portfolio includes local and foreign deposits. The expected return for this asset class has been based on these fixed deposits at the measurement date. The principal assumptions used in determining pension for the Group are shown below: 2012 Discount rates Expected rate of return on assets Future salary increases Future pension increases Amounts for the current and previous years are as follows: 2012 Rs '000 (77,800) 62,640 (15,160) 2,226 (7,662) 2011 Rs '000 (71,1 53) 64,044 (7,1 09) 3,922 (2,538) 2010 Rs '000 (66,650) 58,630 (8,020) 8,052 (6,848) 2009 Rs 000 (65,647) 57,733 (7,914) 2,035 (3,913) 2008 Rs 000 (60,637) 53,824 (6,813) 1,1 73 (8,1 57) 9.5% 10.0% 7.5% - 8.0% 0.0% 2011 9.5% 10.0% 7.5%-8% 0.0% 2010 10.0% 10.5% 8.0% 0.0%

34. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES The Groups and Companys principal financial liabilities comprise bank loans and overdrafts, finance leases and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Groups and the Companys operations. The Group and Company have various financial assets, such as trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalent which arise directly from its operations. The Groups and the Companys activities, therefore, expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, cash flow interest rate risk,) credit risk and liquidity risk. The Groups and Companys overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Groups and Companys financial performance. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below. 34.1 Financial risk factors A description of the significant risk factors is given below together with the risk management policies applicable.
(a) Currency risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to British pound, Euro, US Dollar, SA Rand and Indian rupee. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions. The Group uses forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risks. (b) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The Group borrows at fixed and variable rates. In respect of the latter, it is exposed to risk associatedwith effect of fluctuations in the prevailing label of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. The interest rate risk profile is on the following main liabilities: Bank Overdrafts- Floating Mauritian Rupee Euro United States Dollar Loans - Fixed Mauritian Rupee Euro Finance lease Mauritian Rupee Bills Discounted Mauritian Rupee Euro United States Dollar Preference Shares Mauritian Rupee Debentures Mauritian Rupee 2012 Prime lending rate Euribor + 1.5%/ + 3.0% Libor + 1.5%/ + 3.0% Prime lending rate + 1% Euribor + 3% 8% - 13% Prime lending rate Euribor + 1.5%/ + 3.5% Libor + 1.5%/ + 3.5% 5% - 9% Bank lending rate + 1.0% 2011 Prime lending rate Euribor + 1.5%/ + 3.0% Libor + 1.5%/ + 3.0% Prime lending rate + 1% Euribor + 3% 10% - 13% Prime lending rate Euribor + 1.5%/ + 3.0% Libor + 1.5%/ + 3.0% 5% - 9% Bank lending rate + 1.0%

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group and the Company aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping reliable credit lines available. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Groups liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flow. The table below analyses the non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings basedon the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date.

34. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 34.2 Fair value estimation of financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the endof the reporting period. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods namely the capitalised earnings, net asset basis and dividend yield and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting date. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of those financial assets and liabilities not presented on the Groups statements of financial position at the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts. Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). THE GROUP AND THE COMPANY As at June 30, 2012 Available-for-sale financial assets Forward exchange contracts Total As at June 30, 2011 Available-for-sale financial assets Forward exchange contracts Total 34.3 Capital risk management T he primary objectives of the Group and Company, when managing capital, are to safeguard the entitys ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders andbenefits for other stakeholders and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.The Group and the Company manage its capital structure and make adjustment to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The Group and the Company monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt adjusted capital. Net debt is calculated as total debt (as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and bank balances. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (i.e. share capital, non-controlling interests, retained earnings, revaluation surplus and the redeemable preference shares). The gearing ratios at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 were as follows: THE GROUP 2012 2011 Rs000 Rs000 Total debt (note 15) Less: cash and bank balances (note 27(b)) Net Debt Total equity Gearing Ratio 813,659 (241,768) 571,891 3,052,924 18.73% 1,448,253 (198,207) 1,250,046 3,1 03,741 40.28% THE COMPANY 2012 2011 Rs000 Rs000 42,468 (9,355) 33,113 894,397 3.70% 56,556 (7,957) 48,599 886,794 5.48% 9,1 25 9,1 25 3,243 3,243 Level 1 Rs000 Level 2 Rs000 27,010 27,010 Level 3 Rs000 3,477 3,477
