DIRECTORS REPORT  
   
The Directors of your Company take pleasure in presenting their report together with the    
Audited Accounts and Auditors' Report thereon for the year ended 30th June, 2002.  
   
Company Operations  
   
During the year under review your Company showed excellent progress with Net Sales growing    
by 33.27% to Rs 111.92 million compared to Rs 83.98 million in the previous year. All    
sections of the Company showed good growth levels with the Pro Labels section growing    
by 92.5%, and the Exercise Book section by 20.53%. This was achieved by gearing up our    
marketing and production resources to meet the increased demand. We are particularly pleased    
with the growth seen in the Exercise Books section, as we continued to face stiff competition    
from the unorganized sector which was dumping low price, substandard products in the market    
and avoiding all government taxes and duties. The only area of the Company which did not    
show good progress was the Ammonia Paper segment which saw a nominal decline of 10.04%    
in sales. This product has witnessed a declining trend over the last several years due to the    
fact that people are now shifting towards plotters and other plain paper products. The    
management has taken note of this and has introduced alternative plain paper products which    
have been well received in the market.  
   
The Company plans to invest further in expansion and modernization of the Karachi Factory    
during the next financial year. We have already added some equipment to our Printing De    
partment which will enhance the production capacity of our Exercise Book section. We are    
also looking towards expanding the capacity of our Pro Labels section, and for this your    
management is devising a future strategy which will soon be presented to the Board of Directors    
for their approval.  
   
Financial Results  
   
By the grace of Allah, your Company was able to earn a Net Profit after tax of Rs 13.23    
million compared to Rs 6.55 million in the previous year, which is an increase of 102%.    
This increase was made possible through better management of resources and favorable parity    
of the Pak Rupee versus the US $ as a large portion of our raw materials are imported.    
The total profit available for appropriation is Rs 13.27 million. Your Directors recommend    
a final dividend of 25% and issue of Bonus Shares of 25% which amounts to Rs 10 million,    
while Rs 3 million will be transferred to general reserve, and Rs 0.27 million will be carried    
forward as un-appropriated profit. The issue of Bonus Shares is based on the approval of    
the shareholders to increase the Authorized Capital of the Company from Rs 20 million to    
Rs 40 million, which in turn will increase the paid up Capital to Rs 25 million. The summary    
of the accounts for the year ended 30th June, 2002 is given below:
