year ended 31st December, 1994 was qualified for the inclusion of exchange loss amounting to Rs. 26.90
million in the cost of stock in trade. While giving our opinion in the Chairman's and Directors' Report
last year, we stated that cost of the inventory imported under usance letters of credit should comprise of
the actual amount paid to suppliers and other costs incurred on these stocks.
During the period under review, the stocks carried over from last year including the above referred loss of
Rs. 26.90 million in their value, were sold at prices higher than cost.

MANAGEMENT / STAFF / WORKERS / DEALERS / VENDORS
Your Directors would like to record their appreciation for the sincere efforts and continued cooperation of
the staff, workmen, CBA, dealers and vendor.,;, whose combined efforts have put your company back on
the road to progress.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
As a result of upward trend so far depicted in the demand for vehicles, the outlook for the year 1996-97 is
reasonably optimistic. However strenuous efforts will have to be made to minimize the effect of rampant
inflation, frequent devaluation of Pak. Rupee, increase in POL prices and imposition of additional levies
in the mini-budget. These measures are otherwise bound to affect the economy as a whole. Moreover,
political conditions prevailing in the country will weigh heavily in shaping the state of the economy in
days to come.
