DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS  
   
The Directors welcome the Members at the 40th Annual General Meeting of the Company and have pleasure in    
presenting annual report alongwith Audited Accounts and Auditor's Report thereon, for the year ended June 30th,    
2002. The Company during the year under review earned a profit of Rs. 31.902 million before tax as against loss    
of Rs. 89.265 million during the year 2000-2001. The reasons for elimination of loss were on account of higher    
production and sales of cement by 23,429 tonnes and 6,861 tonnes respectively during the year as compared to    
last year, reduction in cost of sales by adopting stringent measures and due to financial restructuring, mark-up    
has not been charged. The performance of the Company in terms of production and sales during the year under    
review is as follows :-  
   
PRODUCTION:  
   
It is to inform the members that the Company produced 250,424 tonnes of clinker and 307,518 tonnes of cement    
in the year under review. The production of the year under review as compared with that of last year is hereunder.    
Clinker production had been low due to kiln remained stopped for planned maintenance. However the clinker was    
purchased from sister concern to meet the short fall.

                           307,518                          284,089                            23,429  
       
Due to low demand, production was partly suspended during the year as also in last year which resulted in under    
utilization of capacity. During the year, the company has continued to close a part of the cement plant (2 Kilns of    
semi dry process) which represents about 50 percent of the production capacity of clinker.  
       
MARKETING:      
       
During the year, less demand and more supply of cement persisted in the Country. Construction Industry    
remained in poor shape. The Company continued to face difficulty in selling its products in bulk as compared to    
private manufacturers due to the fierce competition from them. The Company due to its strenuous efforts    
succeeded to increase the sale by 6,861 tonnes as compared to last year. Its comparative position is hereunder:-

Rs. 3.20 (Rupees three and Twenty Paisa), [2001 Rs. (10.55) (Negative Rupees Ten and fifty five paisa)].    
GOING CONCERN AND PAYMENT OF DEBTS:  
   
As regards Auditors' observation regarding "Going Concern", we report that since it is not possible to undertake    
BMP, however financial restructuring for issuance of Shares against loan, has been considered to overcome the    
situation.  
   
FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING:  
   
The EOGM of shareholders held on 19.06.2002 has approved the increase of authorized capital from Rs. 150    
million to Rs. 700 million and increase of paid up capital from Rs. 88 million to Rs. 560 million by way of issue of    
shares without right issue against long term loans of Rs. 453.400 million and advances of Rs. 18.600 million of    
State Cement Corporation of Pakistan which has been approved by the SECP. The loan agreement entered with    
SCCP for issue of share against loan also provides that no markup would be charged w.e.f. 01.07.2001 and    
residue interest amount would be transferred to non interest account,  
   
PRIVATIZATION PROCESS:  
   
The privatization commission has started the privatization process and advertisement to the effect has been    
published calling expression of interest latest by 30.07.2002, to off load 85% shares.  
   
FUTURE PROSPECTS:  
   
The continued adverse situation prevailing in the country coupled with fierce competition among manufacturers    
has necessitiated to undertake coal firing plant investment at Rs. 150 million enabling us to reduce cost of    
production, compete effectively with private sector and to capture market share aggressively.
