DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHARE HOLDERS
We welcome you to the 11th Annual General Meeting of the Company to review the results of your Company for the
year ended 30.9.98.
OPERATING RESULTS:
The results of the Company in comparison to the preceding year are not satisfactory. We have reported to you earlier
as well that due to the untimely rains particularly in the cotton growing area the crop has been destroyed and increase
in trash reduced the yield. This has adversely effected the profitability of the Company. In addition there had all along
been slump in the Export market due to the currency crisis in the Far Eastern countries. As a result of low demand in
the foreign markets local sales increased. The local market is not quality conscious as a consequence we could not get
reasonable return on our products. This has resulted in drop in sales and also in profitability. During the year under
review the sales have come down to Rs. 454 Millions with a profit before tax of Rs. 1.9 Mls in comparison to the sales
of Rs. 488 Mls with a profit of Rs. 23.3 MIs. of the preceding year. The export sales have come down to 59% than
90% of the last year. Following are the result alongwith the recommendations of your Directors for appropriation.
Profit for the year before tax Rs. 1,999,246
Provision for taxation. Rs. 2,061,483
(Loss) after taxation Rs. (1,062,237)
Unappropriated Profit brought forward Rs. 47,737,807
Available surplus Rs. 46,675,570
Your Directors therefore, recommend to pass over the dividend in the prevailing circumstances as the textile industry
is passing through crisis due to high prices of cotton in the local market and low return on our product both in the home
and foreign markets. It is therefore, in the interest of the company to maintain a stable financial position for a secured,
future.
It is explained for your knowledge that your Co. like others, on the advise of Legal Advisers preferred Writ petitions on
the imposition of excise duty on the balances as on the close of each month. The Court had been pleased to restrain
the recoveries and to the best of our knowledge all the petitions pending on this point of law are clubbed together for
hearing and disposal by a single judgement. The amount of impunged excise duty on loans/advances has, however
been shown as contingent liability in the account presented to you. It is further explained that this duty on loans stand
withdrawn effective July, 97.
The present stock market prices of the shares are not reflective of their real value which Insha Allah, on the economic
revival, for which the Govt, is all out, may improve hence no provisions has been made in the accounts for diminution
in the value of shares.
FUTURE OUT LOOK:
On the basis of the Govt. statistical reports it was expected that the country would produce about 11 Million bales.
However, the cotton arrival figures issued by Ginner Association indicate a drastic reduction in it. Since the cotton
production is less than the requirement of cotton in the country hence the prices have gone up. The price of local cotton
is more than the prices of cotton in the international market. Pakistani spinners are therefore, facing real competition
in the foreign world particularly with their Indian counter-parts who are assured to get cotton on much lesser rates.
In these circumstances apparently the future is gloomy and nothing can be predicted with any amount of certainty.
However, your Directors are constantly reviewing the production planning and the cost of production to improve
profitability.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM:
Your Company has already taken appropriate steps to take care of year 2000 compliance of computer system. Our
Software system designed to operate in year 2000 environment and shall hopefully be implemented soon.
BREAK UP VALUE AND EARNING PER SHARE:
The earning per share (EPS) for the current year comes to Rs. -0.10 as compared to Rs. 0.55 for the preceding year.
The breakup value per shares at 30.9.98 Rs. 17.16 as compared to Rs. 17.27 as of 30.9.97. The drop in EPS and
breakup value is due to decrease in the profitability.
BALANCING MODERNIZATION AND REPLACEMENT:
Improvement is a continuous process. Your Directors take all possible steps to ensure that your Units are equipped
with the modern machinery so that your product could with stand the quality competition both in and out of the country.
AUDITORS:
M/s. Hameed Chaudhri and Co. Chartered Accountants, being the auditors of the Company, retire and have offered
themselves for reappointment for the year 1998-99.
VOTE OF THANKS:
The Board of Directors place on record its appreciation for the members of the Staff for their devoted services. Our
thanks are also due to our bankers and other customers for their continued trust in the affairs of the Company.
