DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHARE HOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Your Directors take pleasure in welcoming you to the 32nd Annual General Meeting of the Company and present the following
report:-
OPERATIVE RESULTS:
As reported in our half yearly report. the first half was a difficult period due to economic crisis in the Far Eastern Countries. The
gross profit had dropped due to depressed sale prices and lower yield as the quality of cotton was destroyed due to untimely rains.
However the sale prices were improved in the second half of the year under review as a result of better exchange rates. The total
sales improved to Rs. 1.912 billion as compared to Rs. 1.861 billion of the preceding year. The net profit before tax at Rs. 30.083
Million is however, reduced than the profitability of Rs. 58.192 Million of the preceding year. The drop in profitability is mainly due
to lower selling prices of our product, the increase in selling expenses, lower dividend income and high financial expenses.
Following are the key financial numbers:-
Sales- Net Rs. 1,912,417,067
Gross Profit Rs. 256,104,933
Profit before taxation Rs. 30,082,700
Profit after taxation Rs. 21,018,254
Un -appropriated Profit b/f Rs. 66,894,818
Un-appropriated Profit c/f. Rs. 87,913,072
Your Directors recommend to pass over the dividend in the prevailing circumstances as the textile industry is passing through
difficult period due to high prices of cotton. It is therefore in the interest of the Company to maintain a stable financial base for
secured future.
Your Company paid the exchange risk fee to avoid exchange losses as our currency is fluctuating very rapidly. Exchange loss
is an allowable capital expenditure hence any expenditure incurred to avoid this loss should also be treated accordingly. Without
the exchange booking the loss of fluctuation would have been much more hence we have capitalized exchange risk fee in the
respective assets accounts according to our past accounting policy.
Your Company had invested in the shares of good performing quoted companies and it was the intention of your Directors to
disinvest it during the current year. It is relevant to bring to your notice that due to depressed stock market position the value of
these share was diminished as on 30-09-1998 but the present stock market is not reflective of the real value of the shares and
hence the Directors decided that provision for diminution in the value of shares is not necessary.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Cotton crop was estimated at 11 million bales for the year 1998-99. On the basis of this estimation the Govt. have allowed export
of raw cotton. However, the size of the crop has been reduced to 7.5 Million bales according to the arrival figure of ginning
factories. Requirement of cotton by the textile industry is estimated to be about 9 mls. bales which means a deficit of 1.5 million
bales. Apprehending the shortage of cotton crop the textile industry out of panic commenced purchasing which resulted in the
increase in prices. Presently the cost of local cotton is more than the cost of cotton in international markets. The Govt. therefore
may take remedial measures to save the cotton crop from pest attack which is reducing its size each year. Your Directors are
making all possible efforts to improve the profitability under the prevailing circumstances when the prices of yarn in the foreign
market are reducing down and we have to compete with our counterparts particularly India which is getting cotton on much lesser
a cost than ours. This we hope would be possible by diversifying the spinning of yarn of different counts more in demand and
fetching better prices.
POWER GENERATION:
As earlier reported your Unit NO. IV in Ferozewatwan Distt. Sheikhupura is acquiring the power from its associated Co. Gulistan
Power Generations Limited. In satisfaction to the policy of your company we have acquired 4 Gas Engines on lease finance which
have been installed in your Unit No. 1 at Samasatta, Distt. Bahawalpur and are in operation since May, 1998.
Efforts are being made to get the Gas connection from the concerned authorities for our Unit No. II and III at Tibba Sultanpura
Distt. Vehari. On approval of the Gas connection from the concerned authorities Gas Engine will be acquired for installation in
these units as well. Self power generation reduce the cost of power in comparison to the cost payable to WAPDA.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM:
You company has taken adequate measures to ensure that the computer system remain operative in year 2000 and beyond.
BALANCING MODERNIZATION AND REPLACEMENT:
Out of 32 old Ring Frames we are operating only 14 Ring Frames for producing coarse yarn and rest are non operative pending
replacement. The Management as reported in last year's report intend to gradually replace these old ring frames but could not
as yet do so due to non-availability of long term finances at lower Mark-up Rate. In the current economic scenario every
investment must necessarily be well guarded.
Your Directors are fully aware of the need of continuous balancing and modernization of the Plant.
BREAK-UP VALUE AND EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The break-up value of your share at 30-09-98 was Rs. 63.10 as compared to Rs. 61.43 of last year and the earnings per share
for the year under review was Rs. 1.66 as compared to Rs. 3.85 last year.
PATTERN OF SHAREHOLDING:
Statement showing pattern of shareholding as on 30-9-98 is enclosed.
APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS:
The Auditors of the Company M/s. Hameed Chaudhri & Co. Chartered Accountants retire and re-offer their services for the year
1998-99 being eligible for such appointment.
THANKS:
On behalf of the Board appreciation and thanks are placed on record for dedicated services rendered by the employees and
assistance and cooperation extended by the Banks and financial institutions.
