CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
It gives me pleasure to welcome you all at eighth annual general meeting of GHAZI FABRICS
INTERNATIONAL LIMITED.
Since inception company faced many challenges associated with domestic as well as international
economic crisis. The fiscal year under review has left bleak impression and it is inevitable to acknowledge
an increase in the company's accumulated loss. However, the obstacles and impediments, that the
company has constantly facing need to be understood. Even though the management continued to
devote tireless dedication and commitment, the company faced adverse circumstances, that were simply
beyond the management's control. The prices of the most basic factors of production, like raw materials
and fuel continued to rise drastically and contrarily sale prices of the output remained low and
disappointing. Inspite of the unfortunate plight of the textile industry, the government did not provide any
relief to alleviate any of our problems. Tax rates and financial charges remained unbearably high and
further worsened the situation. The crash of the Far Eastern market was another setback, the company
had to face, since the bulk of our output is exported to Far East. Their unexpected crash had a dramatic
affect on sale prices and volume as well. All these factors combined have further contributed towards the
company's losses.
Inspite of all these adverse conditions, there is much to be proud of, "Ghazi Fabrics", it continued to
operate at optimum efficiency and productivity levels and set standards in the textile industry. One of our
greatest achievement is that, inspite of such adverse circumstances, Ghazi Fabrics is one of the few
companies in the Textile Industry which are not defaulters of any bank and financial institution. Inspite of
heavy losses, we have continued to maintain our financial credibility which is not a minor achievement.
We pride ourselves on having a very capable and committed management team that continued to work
hard to achieve the best possible results under these circumstances.
The future can not be predicted, but I being the Chairman of Ghazi Fabrics International can give you the
assurance that we, as the management, will continue to work with commitment and dedication in the best
interest of the company and to ensure that there will be no lack on our part and we will continue to
operate at highest possible efficiency levels. As far as the factors those are beyond our control, we do
hope that they will take a favourable turn and we will get rewarding results in the future.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my management for all their hardwork and commitment. I
would also like to thank you all for your continued confidence, understanding and faith in Ghazi Fabrics
International Limited.
