OVERVIEW
During the year under review, there was stability in the overall performance of the local Polyester
Staple Fibre Industry. Fibre consumption in the country continued to increase during the year under
review and demand for Polyester Staple Fibre remained strong. As a consequence, the production,
turnover and profitability of your Company improved.
PRODUCTION
By the grace of Almighty Allah, the Company produced 22,679 and 3,660 tons of Polyester
Staple Fibre and Polyester Chips respectively as against 22,142 and 2,834 tons of Polyester
Staple Fibre and Polyester Chips respectively in the previous year. It is heartening to note
that during the year under review, the Company achieved 94% of the plant capacity.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The gross turnover for the year ended 30th June, 2001 increased to Rs.1,880 million as
compared to the gross turnover of Rs. 1,558 million for the year ended 30th June, 2000. Increase in
turnover was due to higher sales volume and increase in the selling price of Polyester Staple Fibre.
Raw material in-put cost also increased during the year under review which was mainly due to depreciation of
Pak Rupee vis-a-vis US $. Cost of input also increased due to rise in the prices of natural gas.
By the grace of Almighty Allah, the Company earned a net profit (before providing for taxation)
of Rs. 155.368 million as against a net profit of Rs. 121.898 million in the last year. The net profit,
after providing for taxation and prior year's tax adjustments, worked out to Rs. 97.183 million.
Your Directors are pleased to propose payment of cash dividend of Rs. 1.75 per share for the
year under review (2000: Re. 1.00 per share).
Accordingly, the following appropriations have been proposed:-
(Rs' 000)
Net profit after taxation 97,183
Unappropriated profit brought forward 3,881
------------------
Profit available for appropriation 101,064
Appropriations:-
Final dividend @ Rs. 1.75 per share of Rs. 10 each 98,070
------------------
Unappropriated profit carried forward 2,994
==========
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The net earnings per ordinary share of Rs. 10each after providing for taxation for the year
ended 30th June, 2001,was Rs. 1.73 (2000: Rs. 1.50).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The prices of basic raw materials i.e. PTA and MEG are under pressure in the international
market. However, the cost of other inputs has increased due to inflationary trend in the country. The
impact of unprecedented incident of 11th September, 2001 and its aftermath would adversely affect
the economic activity of the country resulting in stagnancy in fibre industry. Under the circumstances,
your management is not optimistic of encouraging results for the current year.
However, your management, being seized of the complex prevalent situation, is striving its best
to improve the operating efficiencies so as to minimize the adverse impact of the present crisis.
AUDITORS
The present auditors, M/s. Hyder Bhimji & Co., Chartered Accountants, retire at the
conclusion of 16th Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors has decided to rotate
the auditors every three years. The Directors, therefore, propose to the shareholders to
appoint M/s. Taseer Hadi Khalid & Co., Chartered Accountants, as auditors for the year
ending 30th June, 2002. M/s. Taseer Hadi Khalid & Co., have given their consent to act as
auditors of the Company, if appointed by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting.
