DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
Dear Members
Your Directors are pleased to present their report alongwith the audited accounts for the year
ended June 30, 2001.
The depressed market conditions, excess supply of cement, exorbitant increase in input costs and
inequitable taxation has greatly affected the results of your company.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
The production and dispatches for the year under review are as follows:
2001 2000
Tonnes
Production:
Clinker 473,390 445,380
Cement 502,719 458,619
Dispatches 498,634 458,120
OPERATING RESULT
We have informed last year that the enormous increase in the prices of furnace oil and
inequitable imposition of sales tax on cement industry is leading the industry towards disaster. The
current years results of your company have shown that our apprehension were right as result of
which your company suffered heavy losses.
The company as compared to last year's gross profit of Rs. 237.285 million has suffered gross loss
of Rs. 3.336 million, which was mainly due to two reasons. Firstly the decrease in net selling prices
due to inequitable imposition of sales tax and secondly the massive increase in furnace oil prices.
The increase of 20% in operating expenses and 21% in financial expenses resulted in loss before
tax of Rs. 114.493 million as compared to last year profit of Rs. 131.232 million.
DEBT OBLIGATION
By the grace of God the company continues to meet its financial commitments and debt
obligations on time.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The recent developments in the region and the economic slow down in the country has also
affecting the cement industry adversely. The demand for the cement in the country is almost
stagnant an as such chances of increasing the operating efficiency are very remote. However,
in line with the strategy adopted by the cement industry, your company is also planned to
change the fuel system from furnace oil to coal. In this respect machinery has already been
acquired and the erection and installation is in progress. The management is confident that with
use of coal as fuel the company shall be able to produce better results.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
During the year under review National Development Finance Corporation changed its nominee
Director from the Board and as a result Mr. Majeedullah Hussaini replaced Mr. Afaq Jamal
Hussain. The Board places on record its appreciation for the valuable support and contribution
by the outgoing Director and welcomes the new Director.
AUDITORS
Present auditors M/s. Taseer Hadi Khalid & Co., Chartered Accountants and M/s. Rahim Iqbal
Rafiq & Company, Chartered Accountants, retire and being eligible, have offered themselves for
re-appointment.
