CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
I am very pleased to welcome you to the 49th Annual General Meeting of the company to
present to you the audited Annual Accounts and Auditors' Report thereon for the financial
year ended 30 September, 1998. It is also great pleasure for me to announce that the
company has entered in its GOLDEN JUBILEE YEAR, to complete with financial
close of year on 30 September, 1998 which calls for more efforts for improving/expanding
our business to mark its celebrities.
The year under review was very much turbulent for the country, thus its economy, due
to crisis in country's foreign reserves. The situation further aggravated with economic
sanctions after the nuclear explosions in May, 98. The currency debacle of far-eastern
countries compelled them to devalue their currencies by an unimaginably high proportion
curtailing their imports that affected our export business with them. The Pakistani products
could not stay without feeling its severe pinch. On the domestic front, the Agricultural Sector
failed again to supply good quality cotton this year which affected very badly the spinning
sector of the textile industry by a lower yield and production of poorer quality yarn that had 
an adverse effect on our costs and margin of profits. The slight devaluation of Pak rupee
could not counter the above impact and our yarn exports could not revive to the envisaged
level. However, we succeeded to maintain the export level of the last year. We could only
maintain exports performance of weaving and processing sectors but could not achieve the
targeted expanded export plans. The reduction in exports value is primarily due to
reduction in export prices due to reasons explained above.
I am glad to report that despite great uncertain economic and adverse market conditions,
your company had been able to earn an after the tax profit of Rs. 183.286 million (1997: Rs.
187.927 million) after providing Rs. 16.052 million for diminution in value of long term
investments for the first time.
The brief run down on the facts is that net turnover decreased by Rs. 67.929 million due
to reduction mainly in exports of finished fabrics while yarn exports maintained their level of last
year. Raw material cost remained at previous level due to compensation of cotton price
increase with price decrease of polyester fibre etc. Gross profit decreased by 9.98% to Rs.
515.354 million from Rs. 572.504 million in 1997 due to decrease in sales revenue while total
cost of sales remained at last year's level with only 0.35% decrease. Operating expenses
increased by 9.63% to Rs. 259.586 million from Rs 236.777 million in 1997 Other income
increased by Rs. 48.595 million to Rs. 78.548 million due to refund of regulatory duty on ring
spinning frames, profit on sale of fixed assets and dividend income etc. Financial charges
decreased by 29.40% to Rs. 91.716 million from Rs 129.904 million in 1997 due to better
utilization of financial resources. Other charges for the fiscal 1998 are Rs. 29.814 million which
includes Rs. 16.052 million as provision for diminution in value of long term investments.
As a permanent feature and continuing BMR plan, we have imported blowroom lines and
carding machines which have been partially replaced and capitalized during the current year
while the installation of remaining consignment will be completed during subsequent year. This
will improve the yarn production and quality which will definitely contribute in increasing the
profitability of our spinning division during ensuing years.
As mentioned in the review for the fiscal 1997, we have acquired an ongoing project of 72 Air
jet looms at Hattar as a wholly owned subsidiary subsequent to 30 September 1998·
We have also acquired one 5.2 MW generator to replace the stand by arrangements of
electricity with WAPDA, which would save fixed minimum charges currently being paid to
WAPDA.
The future outlook does not seem to be encouraging in view of the events taking place.
around the globe 9enerally and especially in our competitor countries, although our
government is keenly watching the situation and taking appropriate action of making
policies where-ever so required. We will however continue to make all our efforts as
usual for good results during the ensuing years.
The company continues to benefit from the efforts and dedication of all employees for
appreciations for them. Development and training of employees at all levels from
management cadre and down to lower staff has always been a hi9h priority in the company,
which returns to company in the shape of efficiency and good quality work performance
which makes my job easier.
Since the nominee Director of National Investment Trust (NIT), Mr. A.K.M. Sayeed had
tendered his resignation, the Board wishes to place on record its appreciation for the
valuable services and contribution made by him to the affairs of company. N.I.T. nominated
Mr. Nasim Beg as Director to fill the casual vacancy. On behalf of Board, I extend a very
warm welcome to Mr. Nasim Beg.
I am grateful to the shareholders for confidence reposed in the management and am proud to
have come up to their expectations. I also owe my thanks to our customers, the bankers and
all agencies who have directly or indirectly helped us in achieving what we are today.
Thanking you,
(MUHAMMAD ANWAR)
