Chairman's Review
1 am pleased to welcome you to the 21st Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the
company and to present you the Annual Report for the year ended 30th June, 2003.
Economy
By the grace of Almighty ALLAH the condition of Pakistan's economy has improved and
the production and sales of the Auto Sector rose by almost 50% and 43% respectively
during the financial year ended 30th June 2003. This growth was facilitated by the increased
liquidity with banks, attractive Car financing Schemes introduced by Financial Institutions,
foreign remittances from overseas Pakistanis and new models introduced by the Car
Assemblers.
Revival Plan
The unusual growth in the Automobile Industry alongwith the continuing efforts and with
the Grace of Almighty ALLAH the management of Ghandhara Nissan Limited has
successfully re-structured the Company's debts through a settlement agreement with the
existing Lease Creditors and a Bank. We are grateful to PKICL, PLHC, NDLC, ORIX, Security
Leasing, First DDL Modaraba and Hongkong Shanghai Bank who have very kindly agreed
to the Management's Debts Settlement proposal as a result of which their entire dues
have been settled at Rs. 226.372 millions.
We are also in the final stages of arranging a long term financing arrangement with a
Commercial Bank at a very competitive markup rate.
(f)        in our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the company as required
by the Companies Ordinance, 1984;
(g)       in our opinion
(i)        the balance sheet and profit and loss account together with the notes thereon
have been drawn up in conformity with the Companies Ordinance, 1984,
and are in agreement with the books of account and are further in
accordance with accounting policies consistently applied except for a change
indicated in note no 5.01 with which we concur.
(ii)       the expenditure incurred during the year was for the purpose of the
company's business; and
(iii)      the business conducted, investments made and the expenditure incurred
during the year were in accordance with the objects of the company;
(h)       except for the financial effect of the matters referred to in paras (a), (b), (c), (d)
and (e) above, in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow

for the year then ended; and

Ordinance, 1980.
Without qualifying our report we draw attention to the fact that the accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, although the company has
earned profit in the current year but accumulated loss stood at Rs. 622.985 millions as at

3.         STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of Companies
Ordinance, 1984. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International
Accounting Standards as notified under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance,
1984. Wherever, the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or directives
issued by the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) differ with the
           requirements of these standards, the requirements of Companies Ordinance, 1984
or the requirements of the said directives take the precedence.
4.         BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements are presented in Rupees, rounded to nearest thousand.
The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except for
revaluation of certain fixed assets. The principal accounting policies adopted are
set out below:
5.         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
5.01    Change in accounting policy on adoption of IAS 12 Income Taxes (Revised 2000)
During the year the company adopted International Accounting 12- Income
Taxes (revised 2000) ( IAS 12) which has become effective for all periods
beginning on or after 1 January, 2002 as notified by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Pakistan. Accordingly deferred tax is now recognised on all
temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial  reporting
purposes and unused tax losses. Previously the company did not account for
deferred tax assets as a matter of prudence and deferred tax liabilities if
these were not likely to reverse in the foreseeable future. In accordance the.
allowed alternative treatment prescribed in IAS 8 " Net Profit and Loss for
the period, Fundamental Errors and Changes in the Accounting Policies:, the
above change in police has been applied prospectively and the comparative
information has not been restated. Had the accounting policy not been
changed the profit after taxation for the year would have been lower by
Rs. 3.708 millions.
5.02    Employee Benefits
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme for all employees who
have completed their minimum qualifying period of service with the company.
Under the scheme gratuity is payable on the basis of last drawn basic salary
The depreciation method and useful lives of item of fixed assets are reviewed
periodically and altered  if circumstances or expectation  have changed
significantly. Any change is accounted for as change in accounting estimate by
changing the depreciation charge for the current and future periods. The
estimate for depreciation on fixed assets has been changed from the straight
line to reducing balance method. The management feel that the reducing
balance method is more appropriate in view of remaining useful life of fixed
assets and their utility. Had there been no change in the accounting estimate,
the profit for the year after taxation would have been lower by Rs. 20.405 millions.
and accumulated loss would have been higher by Rs. 20.405 millions.
Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable
amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expenses as and when incurred
Major renewals and replacements are capitalized.
Leased
Assets held under finance leases are recognized   as assets of the Company at
the lower of present value of minimum lease payments and fair value at the
date of acquisition. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the
balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Finance costs, which represent the
difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the
assets acquired, are charged to the income statement over the term of the
relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the
remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.
Depreciation is charged to income applying the reducing balance method at the
rates indicated in note 6.
5.05          Investments
Investment in associated companies
As per IAS 28, Investment in Associates, associated companies are those
enterprises in which the Company has significant influence, but not control,
over the financial and operating policies.
Investment in associated companies is recorded applying the equity method of
accounting in accordance with requirements of IAS 28.
5.06          Stores, spares and tools
Stores, spares and tools are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventory is based on weighted average cost. Item in transit are
stated at cost accumulated to balance sheet date.
