DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors take pleasure in presenting the 20th Annual Report together with Company's Financial Statement for the
year ended June 30, 2003 and the Audited Report thereon.
Financial Review
The Company registered sales at Rs. 143.545 million as compared to Rs. 106.493 million in the proceeding year. The
Company suffered a loss of Rs. 0.654 million after accounting for all charges including depreciation of Rs. 13.984
million. The financial results were improved due to higher capacity utilization i.e. 37% (65% capacity utilization of
Gadoon Unit), the Mirpur Plant remained closed due to non-availability of finances for BMR and working capital.
During the year Company's exports were increased to USD 2.175 million as compared to last year export of
USD 1.451 million. By the Grace of Almighty ALLAH FPCCI's merit trophy for the year 2001-2002 for the export of
Non-Traditional item has been awarded to our Company. Within a short period of time this is a big achievement for a
sick Company, which is revived by the Committee for Revival of Sick Industrial Units. During the year the Company has
been able to supply bags to Pakistan PTA Limited (formerly ICI PTA Limited) and is likely to replace their imported bags
with locally manufactured bags substantially.
However as a result of increase in ocean freight through imposition of War Risk and GRI in our region, profitability has
been jeopardized. China and India are paying much less ocean freight as compared to us as there is no war risk charge
or GRI on the consignment from these countries.
