DIRECTORS' REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
Your directors are pleased to present you their report and audited accounts of the Company for the year ended on
30th June 1996.
The year under review was not too conducive to business conditions characterizing our country which are unfavorably
affecting consumers and industries which resulted in a downward trend in the edible oil industries.
SALES
Sales during the year 1996 decreased in volume. The consumers purchasing power came under severe pressure
which resulted in consumers switching to the cheaper brands of ghee. Moreover the subsidised GCP ghee sold
through the Utility Stores Corporation created distortion in the market.
The law and order situation in Karachi prevailed which disturbed the normal distribution of the product in the various
localities of the city, besides the distributors of the Company remained scared due to their vans looted on gun point
which affected adversely the availability of the products in the affected areas.
GROSS PROFIT
The gross profit of the Company in 1996 decreased to 8.19% from 9.42% in 1995, owing to increase in the cost of
production particularly the packing material cost, fuel and power cost which have increased 35°/; and 30% respectively
and the selling price of the products remained unchanged.
Administrative expenses increased 18.51% the financial expenses also increased on banking short term financial
facility in order to meet the cash requirements of the company.
The company has been engaged in reorganizing various departments with particular emphasis on restructuring
marketing and sales department. This is expected to result in improvement in sales and resultant profitability.
The company has started a cost-control exercise to rationalize and reduce its expenses. This alongwith improvement
in the selling prices will improve the performance of the company.
The relations with the management and unionized staff remained cordial during the year. The directors place on record
their sincere effort and the good work done by the workers, staff and officers.
