CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
It is great pleasure for me to welcome you, on behalf of the Board of Directors to the 52nd Annual
General Meeting of the company and present to you its Audited Accounts for the year ended June
30, 2001 along-with Auditors' Report.
OVERVIEW
Before discussing the operating results, I would like to give the overall view of the situation in which
your company operated. The company participated in two WAPDA International Tenders of 500 KV
Electricity Transmission Towers for transmitting electricity generation from Ghazi - Brotha power
house. The transmission lines Brotha-Rewat & Rewat-Lahore were tendered in July 2000 and April
2001 financed by Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and Kuwait Fund respectively. Number of
participating countries increased, resulting in very tough competition. Due to some factors, the final
decision was delayed by the financing agencies particularly IDB. Although your company was
recommended by WAPDA for awarding both these contracts, however only Rewat-Lahore section
contract valuing Rs.380 million has been awarded very recently to your company.
In addition to this as mentioned in previous year report under "Future Outlook", WAPDA has now
finalized and issued LOI to Central China Power Group (CCPG), for 500 KV Muzzafargarh-Gatti
line (bidder's financing) with whom your company entered into MOU in September, 2000, for supply
of towers against this contract. Therefore, we expect a business of approximately Rs.350 million
from CCPG, China.
In order to make your company a viable organization, and improve its profitability company
management submitted an operational plan in June 2000, with closing down of loss contributing
products, and pay off the employees of those shops as well as reduce employees of proposed shops to
be operated. The loss contributing shops were closed under Government decision, however,
necessary funds to pay off employees were not provided, which adversely affected the loss position.
Pak Rupee devalued by 23% during the year under review. It resulted in imported material, local
material, and energy cost increase.
OPERATING RESULTS
In spite of the above, your company could have made higher sales during the year under review than
last year, but could not achieve desired results due to following reasons
(a) Orders valuing Rs.200 million could not be executed due to shortage of working capital, as
salaries to closed shops had to be paid without work, and NBP refused to increase of Rs. 100
million in working capital limit.
(b) Abnormal delay in finalization and award of 500 KV Transmission Towers order against which
export financing could have been available, and helped in over-coming working capital
shortage to a large extent.
(c) Credit purchases with mark-up and carrying cost of stocks due to delay in successful testing of
Double Circuit towers in China, being installed first time in your country.
(d) Increase in cost of materials due to devaluation of local currency, and energy rates increase.
The sales, therefore, declined by Rs. 122 million 24% over last year. The company suffered gross
loss, and net loss for the year increased to Rs. 168 million as against Rs. 110 million last year.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Two packages of 220 KV lines financed by JBIC, on turn-key basis were tendered during the years
1999 & 2000. Package-I deal has been finalized by WAPDA with M/s. Sichuan Electric Company,
China. Your company had quoted price of towers to Chinese firm for this Package, and
understanding was reached with them during last year visit. The value of towers in this contract shall
be approximately Rs.450 million. Package-II was re-tendered and opened in November, 2001. M/s.
ICC, Lahore are lowest, and your company has already made a consortium with them for supply of
220 KV towers valuing approximately Rs. 120 million
There is lot of business of Pumps during the year under review and next year particularly in
Baluchistan and Sind provinces, to overcome shortage of water supply. The schemes are being
financed by foreign lending agencies.
The Privatization Commission is presently actively working to sell Badami Bagh land, proceeds of
which shall be utilized to pay SBP Bonds and other Government Departments liabilities. The
financial position shown in the Balance Sheet, shall greatly improve after the adjustment of these
liabilities.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
Relations between the management and the employees continued to be cordial. I acknowledge the
hard work and dedication put in by the management and employees for yet another turbulent year of
operation. I am thankful to you, the shareholders, for your continued confidence in us.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
We have audited the annexed balance sheet of Pakistan Engineering Company Limited as at
June 30, 2001 and related profit and loss account, cash flow statement and statement of
changes in equity together with the notes forming part thereof, for the year then ended and we
state that we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our
knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purpose of our audit.
It is the responsibility of the company's management to establish and maintain a system of
internal control, and prepare and present the above said statements in conformity with the
approved accounting standards and the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards as applicable in Pakistan.
These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the above said statements are free of material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
above said statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting policies and
significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall presentation of
the above said statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion and, after due verification, we report that:
(a) The company during the year has suffered the after tax loss of Rs. 202.942 million
resulting in an accumulated loss of Rs. 1,411.263 million as at June 30, 2001. The
company is under heavy debt burden and its long term and short term liability to the
government and its institutions is of Rs. 1,565.372 million in shape of principal and
outstanding interest. These factors raise doubt as to the "Going Concern Assumption",
the basis on which financial statements have been prepared.
(b) The outstanding principal amount of Rs. 86.984 million on account of customs and
other import duties (see Note No. 23.2) is subject to interest @ 14 % per annum which
comes to Rs. 70.820 million, for the current and prior years, has not been accounted for.
The management is of the view that the interest on such loan is to be paid by the
Privatization Commission out of sale proceeds of the assets of the company. But the
confirmation of management's view from Privatization Commission is not available.
Therefore, it becomes liability of the company.
(c) Company has violated the provisions of section 227 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984
by making default in payments of provident fund contributions to PECO Employees
Provident Fund Trust. Total outstanding principal amounts to Rs. 48.631 million and
markup on outstanding balance of principal amounts to Rs. 46.399 million.
(d) in our opinion, proper books of accounts have been kept by the company as required by
the Companies Ordinance, 1984;
(e) in our opinion,
(i) the balance sheet and profit and loss account together with the notes thereon have been
drawn 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;
(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;
(f) in our opinion, except for the matter referred to in paragraph (a) to (c) above and to the
extent to which it effects the result of the Company, and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given to us, the balance sheet, profit and loss account,
cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity together with the notes forming
part thereof conform with the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan,
and give the information required by the Companies Ordinance, 1984, in the manner so
required and respectively give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs
as at June 30,2001 and of the profit/loss, its cash flow and changes in equity for the year
then ended; and
(g) in our opinion, no Zakat was deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance,   1980.
