Chairman's Review
Moving Towards HI-TECH and Value Addition
National Foods Limited., like other Companies in Pakistan is passing through a phase of
restructuring. The year under review has many bright features such as:
(a) Quality Standards throughout have improved.
(b) The new Pickle Plant went into production and our pickles are rated in top bracket
locally as well as in export markets. Further improvements in storage and preparatory
methods are under study which will yield better profitability by reducing wastage
of materials and efficient use of space available.
(c) The new Processing Plant to produce Wet Products such as Tomato Ketchup, Pastes
Table & Cooking sauces has just gone into production and the first launch of Tomato
Ketchup is underway. This will open up new avenues to bring into the market
INNOVATIVE Products. We hope that new range of products will enhance Company's
Profitability.
(d) Human Resource department is in place and working, Each and every job is being
defined, Scales are being fixed, Training and Development Programs are underway.
Hopefully new talents will be attracted which will help the Company to move
forward into the next millennium.
On Financial side the Company is actively engaged to devise ways for efficient use of
Resources, some Results are reflected in the Balance Sheet. The prominent features are:
1. PICIC Long Terms Loan has been fully paid. The Company is availing the Leasing
Facilities for capital expenditures where needed.
2. Export Re-Finance Limit has increased from 21.4 millions to 28.5 millions which will
reduce the cost of finances.
3. There has been a net increase of 15.580 millions in the Fixed Assets through self
financing and 2,393 millions through leasing.
4. Inventory Control has improved.
Sales Tax Rates revised from 15% to 18% with effect from 1st. July 1996, in the Federal
Budget. In addition to this few more products previously exempt from Sales Tax were
included in the Tax Bracket. Although the present Government reduced the Sales Tax
Rates from 18% to 12.5% from the month April 1997, however, the adverse impact of almost
7.2 millions for the first 9 months, is reflected in the results for the year under report.
Despite our entire efforts, we have not been able to check increase in costs of
infrastructures, utilities, promotional and payroll costs etc. Unfortunately we have to
live with these Inflationary fluctuations, we can only minimize the effects by increasing
efficiency.
The Net Sale has increased by 17.2% only which is one of the lowest for many years but
fortunately we are able to maintain the Gross Profit. The young and energetic management
must be complemented for preparing the company to face future challenges and
moving fast towards new innovative products.

========== ==========
BONUS
The company has generated a profit of Rs.8,463,413 after tax and after adding to the un-
appropriated Profit of Rs. 18,845,139 brought forward from last year, the Board of Directors
have announced 12.5% Bonus Shares to be issued in the ratios of 125 Bonus Shares for every
1000 Ordinary Shares held by the members whose names appear in the members register
on 27-12-1997.
PERFORMANCE
NFL has registered a growth of 17.17% and the profit registered has increased from last
tear at a rate of 2.97% before tax.
The reason of this somewhat
stagnant performance has
been mostly attributed to
the rampant growth in
inflation that had persisted
in the market with the then
present government. The
major increase has been
witnessed in the material
inputs like Raw Material and
Packaging material. Adjust-
ment for this haphazard
inflationary    trend    was
accounted for through price
increase, control of input
costs and wastage control
exercises. Also work on making the organization lean and efficient is underway.
However due to the above mentioned factor, the growth in profit could not be sustained.
overall the trend has 'dissipated to an extent and expenses have been controlled.
Inflationary prices were responsible for the slow growth of the company compared to
last year. The market witnessed a decrease in consumer spending due to this factor
and people switched over to the unbranded Market to maximize their spending on
household items.
Further, due to liquidity
crunch that prevailed during
the period, the shopkeeper
witnessed less buying 
strength, which forced the
distributors to keep the stocks
at minimum at their
warehouses.
On the other hand, efforts
to increase exports were
fruitful and we registered a
growth of 92.95%. Our primary
efforts were to establish a
distribution network with the
help of our present distributors
in the various parts of the
world, To an extent,
performance has greatly improved in the Middle East and North American markets.
As far as bulk exports are concerned, Red Chillies continued to be a problem. The
government, however in the latter part of the year allowed Exports of Red Chillies once
again. However, due to extremely low prices offered by the Indians in the global
market, their domination still continues and no favourable outcome can be expected
till the local market prices come down. However, we still managed to export two
containers of Red Chillies in the last quarter of the year to our bulk customers in the North
American market.
Salt and Pickles continue to be leading brands in the market today and have shown
a steady growth over a last couple of years. Recipe range is also one of the fastest
growing categories at this time and the growth rate is being sustained.
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
Due to stagnant growth in plain spices, it has become evident that a move has to be
made towards more value added products. In this regard, the new range of Ketchup
has been launched in November 1997. This launch comprises of 3 varieties in consumer
bottles, one variety in the economy bottle and also a bulk catering pack for the food
services. Expansion and step-up of plant in this regard is also complete.
By start of ketchup or wet based products, NFL will become well placed in the market
to launch other similar products.
AUDITORS
The present auditors M/s. Riaz Ahmad, Saqib, Gohar & Company, Chartered Accountants
retire, being eligible for re-appointment, have offered themselves, for re-appointment
as auditors for the year 1997-1998.

MANAGEMENT
Special thanks and appreciation to the marketing and operations staff of National
Foods is due. They have worked very hard to keep the company stable during the tough
economic conditions. This was possible through their coherent ability to work as a team
and generate effective and efficient results. They must be congratulated for a job well
done.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Accounting Convention
These accounts have been prepared on historical cost convention without
taking into account the effect of inflation or current cost.
1.2 Taxation
The provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current
rates of taxation after taking into account available tax rebates and credits.
The company provides for deferred taxation, if any, using the liability method.
However, no provision is made if it is estimated that this would not reverse in
the foreseeable future.
1.3 Staff Retirement Benefits
The company operates a funded gratuity scheme covering all permanent
employees and is calculated on the basis of 30 days of the last drawn salary
and length of service of the employees as against 20 days in the previous
years. Provision to cover this obligation is made annually.
The company also operates a funded provident scheme, covering all permanent
employees. Monthly contribution is made at the rate of 5 percent of the pay
of employees to the fund.
1.4 Fixed Assets and Depreciation
All fixed assets except lease hold lands and capital work-in-progress are
stated at written down value which is arrived at by deducting accumulated
depreciation from cost. Lease hold lands aria capital work4n-progress are
