CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 21st Annual General Meeting and to present a
review of the operations, audited accounts and annual report of the Company for the financial year
ended 30 June, 1999.
REFINERY UPGRADATION AND EXPANSION PROJECT
Work on the construction and erection of two new plants namely Naphtha Hydrotreating/Reforming
Plant and Heavy Crude Unit under the Refinery Upgradation and Expansion Project has Alhamdolillah
been completed within the scheduled time and budget. Both the plants have been put into operation
and are running smoothly. The successful and timely completion of the project was achieved through
the dedicated efforts of the Company's management, its employees and the contractors.
With the completion of the Project, your Company has become the first Refinery in Pakistan to
directly produce 87 RON Premium Motor Gasoline and the supply of this product to the market has
already commenced.
PROFITABILITY
The operations of your Company continued during the year efficiently and without interruption. Tile
financial results of the Company's operations for the year ended 30 June, 1999 are given in the
annexed Directors' Report and financial statements. As the prices of petroleum products declined
in the international market, the refiner's margin was considerably reduced which affected the
profitability of the Company. There was a shortfall of Rs 458 million receivable from the Government
to make-up the profit of Rs 27 million being 10% guaranteed minimum profit on the paid-up capital
from the refinery operations under the approved import parity pricing formula.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Company is going through a phase of total turnaround in its operations and has chalked out
well-defined plans for the future. These include enhancement of refining capacity, initially through a
Pre-flash unit, product pipelines, remote crude oil decanting facility to reduce congestion at the
Refinery, land optimisation and specialty oil products. The Company is also continuing to collaborate
with various international agencies for the refinery optimisation, production of environment friendly
products and energy conservation.
The Company has also signed a contract for a 7.5 MW integrated power plant to meet its operational
requirements for an uninterrupted supply of electricity. This project is estimated to cost approximately
Rs 250 million and is expected to be completed by November, 2000.
In the face of reduced crude oil availability from the depleting crude oil fields in the Northern region
of the country, the Company's management has secured progressively increasing supplies of crude
from the Southern oil fields after obtaining necessary Governmental approvals based on national
economics. Efforts are being made to secure further supplies from the South to operate the refinery at
full capacity and to further develop arrangements for more reliable transportation.
The Company is confident of taking new initiatives and ventures to prepare itself for the future
challenges and step into the new millennium with renewed confidence and vigour.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
The training and development of Human Resource of the Company received top priority during the
year for smooth operations and safety of the new plants set-up under the Refinery Upgradation and
Expansion Project. The technical staff went through several overseas training programmes during the
year which included a free hands-on training at the ARAMCO Refinery in Saudi Arabia for which we
are thankful to the ARAMCO Refinery and the Saudi Arabian Government. Needless to say, it would
have not been possible without the support of Government of Pakistan.
The Company also continued other on-the-job training programmes for the management
staff and workers specifically directed towards information technology, safety, quality and
maintenance of equipments.
Efforts are also being made to maximise the use of information technology through increased
availability of computer hardware and software, access to internet facilities and setting-up the local
area network and dial-up facilities.
QUALITY AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Your Company became the first refinery of Pakistan to receive ISO 9002 Certification for its Quality
Control Laboratory. Instead of hiring consultants the Company achieved it through an in-house
effort. On your behalf I extend congratulations to the management and staff on this achievement.
Development of quality management is receiving maximum attention of the Company's management
with special emphasis on productivity performance, rationalisation of activities towards cost savings/
profit optimisation and efficient operations. Special incentives have been offered to the employees to
encourage employees' commitment to Total Quality Management.
The Company also recognises the importance of Knowledge Management. In order to develop the
knowledge and skills of employees concerted efforts are being made to develop the knowledge
base through assessment of information needs, developing knowledge seeking modes and promoting
knowledge information use. Special awareness and training sessions are being conducted for the
successful implementation of the Knowledge Management Strategy.
HUMAN RESOURCE
I would like to record my appreciation for the efforts and dedication of the Human Resource of the
Company which includes its officers, staff and workers that has enabled the management to run the
Company smoothly and efficiently during the year under difficult circumstances when the Refinery
Upgradation and Expansion Project was under implementation and required extra efforts for its timely
completion.
I am pleased to report that the management continued to have cordial relations with the workers and
the Collective Bargaining Agent (CBA). The previous Labour Settlement expired in June, 1999 and a
fresh Charter of Demands has been received from the CBA and negotiations thereon are in progress in
a cordial atmosphere.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Finally, I take this opportunity to express my thanks to all my colleagues on the Board, the
Government, crude oil suppliers and customers for their continuing cooperation. All banks and
financial institutions who have shown their confidence in the Company and extended various
financial facilities also deserve our acknowledgment. I sincerely hope that your Company will
continue to enjoy full confidence and cooperation from all concerned for the development and progress
of the Company to achieve even better results and to meet the future challenges in the years ahead.
Before concluding, I also wish to express my thanks for the continued interest and support of our
shareholders.
Dr. Gulfaraz Ahmed

THE DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of Attock Refinery Limited have pleasure in presenting the 21st Annual Report
and Audited Financial Statements of the Company together with Auditors' Report thereon for the year
ended 30 June, 1999.
1. FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company continues to operate under the import parity pricing formula under which
the Company is entitled to a minimum of 10% and maximum of 40% return net of tax on its
paid-up capital in respect of its refinery operations and further allowed to retain surplus profits,
if any, over 40%, as per agreed parameters, for utilisation in the development plans for Refinery
Upgradation and Expansion Projects.
In the current year the Company's profitability was seriously affected by the continuous decline
in the prices of petroleum products in the international market during the financial year
1998-99. Consequently, there was a shortfall of Rs 458 million receivable from the Government
under the approved import parity pricing formula to make-up the profit of Rs 27 million being
minimum, net of tax, return of 10% on paid-up capital. In addition the Company has also
earned other income of Rs 14.7 million (net of tax and workers' funds) from non-refinery
operations outside the pricing formula.
The Company is making all out efforts to improve the profitability of the Company by
increasing the utilisation of refining capacity, production of value added products and through
various cost savings and optimisation measures.
The Company has also made several representations to the Government to review the import
parity pricing formula to make it more realistic and to allow sufficient profits to the refineries to
enable them to invest in their various upgradation and expansion projects which would favourably
contribute towards national economics and save valuable foreign exchange. Various proposals
are being formulated in this connection for the consideration and review by the Government.
The Company's proposal for treating the net profit from the sale of asphalt outside the import
parity pricing formula and import parity price for 87 RON Premium Motor Gasoline is already
under the consideration by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources.
The financial results for the year ended 30 June, 1999 are summarised below:
1999
Rupees
(000)
Profit before tax from refinery operations 63,108
Less: Provision for taxation 36,108
------------------
Profit after taxation from refinery operations 27,000
Income from non-refinery operations after tax 14,733
------------------
Net profit for the year after taxation 41,733
Unappropriated profit brought forward 7,990
------------------
Profit available for appropriation 49,723
APPROPRIATIONS:
The Directors propose that this should be utilized in providing for:
- Interim dividend at the rate of 10% (equivalent to Re 1.00
per share of Rs10/- each) paid in April, 1999 27,000
- Transfer to Reserve for issue of bonus shares 21,600
------------------
48,600
Leaving unappropriated profit to be ------------------
carried forward to next year 1,123
==========
As the average prices of petroleum products in the international market were substantially
lower in the year, the ex-refinery prices allowed to the Company for its petroleum products were
revised downwards as a result of which there was a deficit of Rs 758.937 million in the sales
revenue required to make-up the minimum profit of 10%. The products and crude oil prices
continued to be priced on the principles of import parity as per parameters defined by the
Government.
2. PAID-UP CAPITAL
The Company's paid-up capital was increased from Rs 225 million to Rs 270 million through
capitalisation of an amount of Rs 45 million, out of the profits of the Company, by way of issue
of fully paid bonus shares to the Members of the Company in the proportion of one new share for
every five shares held.
3. DIVIDEND
Interim cash dividend already paid at the rate of Re 1/- per share (10%) is to be treated as final
dividend for the year ended June 30, 1999.
4. BONUS SHARES
The Directors are pleased to recommend capitalisation of an amount of Rs 21.6 million out of
the profits for the issue of fully paid bonus shares to the Members of the Company in the
proportion of two new shares for every twenty five shares held.
5. REFINERY MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS
The entire indigenous crude production from the Northern Region was processed at the Refin-
ery. However, as the crude availability from the Northern Region was not sufficient for the
Company's refining capacity, the Company accelerated its efforts to secure increased supplies
from the Southern Region. The Company has already secured supplies of 11,500 bpd after
obtaining necessary Governmental approvals and efforts are now being made to secure further
supplies to ensure full utilisation of the enhanced refining capacity of 35,000 bpd caused after'
the commissioning of the new Heavy Crude Unit.
The total throughput of the Refinery during the year was 9,680,912 barrels (1.279 million
M. Tons) as compared to its original nameplate capacity of 10,065,000 barrels (1.330 million
M. Tons) subsequently enhanced to 11,550,000 barrels (1.526 million M. Tons). A total of 9.751
million barrels of crude oil (1998:8.234 million barrels) were received by the Company from 43
different oilfields which was 18% higher than the receipts of last year. Crude receipts from the
Northern Region declined but this decrease was offset by additional crude received from the
Southern Region. The net increase in crude receipts was 1.51 6 million barrels for the financial
year under report.
The total crude receipts averaged 26,715 bpcd of which 19,740 bpcd (74%) was received
through road transportation and the balance of 6,975 bpcd (26%) was received through
pipeline.
With the commissioning of Catalytic Reformer/Naphtha Hydrotreating Unit, the Company
commenced the production of 87 RON Premium Motor Gasoline and thus became the first
Refinery in Pakistan to achieve this landmark. To increase its profitability, the Company also
continued with its endeavours to improve the products slate to increase the production of high
value products and consequently the refiner's margin. This included enhancement of production
of Jet fuels and introduction of speciality asphalt.
The Company continues to maintain its plant and machinery in a reliable operable condition.
Regular and planned maintenance of the plants and facilities was undertaken during the year as
per schedule.
The Company completed during the year the upgradation of its offsite facilities to meet the
operational requirements for full capacity operations upon commissioning of two new units
under Refinery Upgradation and Expansion Project.
6. REFINERY UPGRADATION AND EXPANSION PLAN
The work on the implementation of the US$ 55 million Refinery Upgradation and Expansion
Project, initiated in 1997, which included setting-up of a Catalytic Reformer Plant and Heavy
Crude Unit was completed during the year and both the Units were commissioned in May/June, 1999. The
plant operations have stabilised and are on-stream production. With the commissioning of these plants the
Company has achieved the capability to upgrade low octane naphtha into high octane premium grade gasoline
and operational flexibility.
Simultaneously, the development of facilities which included two new Naphtha tanks, cooling tower, flare
system, pumps and piping for tie-in connections for new plants and centralised air system has been
completed to allow smooth commissioning of new plants. This included the acquisition of a 40 M.
Tons mobile crane to facilitate maintenance work on the new plants and to cater for other operational
requirements.
7.  FUTURE PROJECTS
To ensure 100% reliability for continued electricity supplies to the Refinery and more
particularly to the new Catalytic Reformer Unit, the Company has signed a contract for the
supply and setting-up of 7.5 MW capacity integrated power plant. This project is estimated to
cost around Rs 250 million and is likely to be completed in November, 2000.
As part of its automation policy, the Company has initiated work on a phased plan for auto tank
gauging system in order to determine more accurate levels of storage tanks for the operation of
the main plants and to provide effective usage of existing tank storage capacity.
Future plans include further expansion of the refinery, upgradation of existing facilities,
products slate improvement, oil movement logistics and setting-up a remote crude decanting
facility to overcome traffic congestion in the refinery area and eliminate safety/security
hazards due to crude bowzers.
The Company is presently optimising the production on a fortnightly basis. It has recently
acquired a specifically designed LP software for process industry which shall aid in the
evaluation of crudes and products, planning of unit modes, capacity utilisation, blending of
different streams economically and ensuring strict specification controls. This would result in
optimisation of crude yields on a daily basis which would improve profitability and achieve
cost savings. This project is likely to be implemented before the end of this year.
8.  SAFETY,  ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION,  ISO 9002 AND REFINERY OPTIMISATION
Concerted efforts continue to conform with the National Environmental Quality Standards
(NEQS) by reducing both effluents and emissions and producing environment friendly
petroleum products. The Company is committed to achieve high environmental standards and
is participating in activities of National Cleaner Production Centre (NCPC) to be set-up in
collaboration with UNIDO/UNDP, the Government and other refineries.
The Company's Quality Control Laboratory received ISO 9002 certification during the year by
virtue of which it became the first Refinery in Pakistan to achieve this honour. The Company is
working in other areas also to raise its standards and quality to obtain further ISO certifications.
Safety received highest consideration and strict compliance to safety standards was observed.
The Safety Committee continues to review and upgrade the safety standards to meet the ever
changing challenges. The safety performance during the year was excellent and the refinery
operations continued without any safety lapses. The Refinery Upgradation and Expansion Project
which was implemented over a period of under two years was completed without any major
accident or Loss Time Injury (LTI) which reflected the high level of safety standards practiced.
The upgradation of the Fire Water Networks also continued through a phased programme
initiated in 1995. Work on the installation of LPG Deluge System, Sprinkler System and Fire
Water Network has been completed and in order to provide adequate coverage in certain other
areas a state of the art fire fighting equipment is being acquired to enhance the coverage.
A modern fully equipped fire fighting truck has been purchased and another one is being
acquired to replace the existing fire fighting fleet.
9.  INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
To meet the challenges of the next millennium the Company is continuing to vigorously pursue
its policy to provide maximum computerised facilities to its staff alongwith increased spread of
local area network and access to Internet facilities. Simultaneously all out efforts are being
made to develop the knowledge data base for retrieval of information required for effective
decision making process.
The Directors are also pleased to announce that all the computer applications, operating
facilities and hardware systems are free of millennium bug and all necessary tests for ensuring
Year 2000 compliance have already been completed. The Company is confident that no
business disruption is expected in crossing over the second millennium.
The Company believes that all its major suppliers and customers and associated companies
have already taken adequate measures to make their systems Year 2000 compliant.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
For the year ended June 30, 1999
1. Legal status and operations
The Company was incorporated in Pakistan on November 8, 1978 as a private limited company
and was converted into a public limited company on June 26, 1979. Its shares are quoted on the
Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges in Pakistan. It is principally engaged in the
refining of crude oil.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by capitalisation
of certain exchange differences referred to in note 2.9.
2.2 Staff retirement benefits
The Company operates:
(i) approved funded pension scheme for its management staff for which the Company makes
contribution based on actuarial estimates. The actuarial valuation is made using the
Attained Age Normal Method with an expected increase in salary level of 6% per annum
alongwith a 8% per annum expected rate of interest and contributions are determined by
using a projected benefit valuation basis. Actuarial valuation is undertaken once in three
years or earlier if required and as per the latest valuation as at December 31, 1997, the
fair value for the scheme's assets was Rs 66.61 8 million against a past service liability of
Rs 64.121 million. Company's contribution which is adjusted to cover the deficit for past
services is charged to income currently.
(ii) unfunded gratuity scheme for its non-management staff whose period of service with the
Company is 5 years or more. Provision is made annually based on management estimates
which are adjusted periodically to agree with the actuarial estimates made on the basis
of projected unit credit method of valuation. The annual provision and gratuity payments
during the year are charged to income currently. The actuarial valuation is made
periodically and the latest valuation was undertaken as at June 30, 1999.
(iii) approved contributory provident fund for all employees.
2.3 Taxation
Provision for current taxation in the accounts is based on taxable income at the current rate of
tax or half percent of turnover, whichever is higher. The Company recognizes deferred
tax arising on accelerated tax depreciation allowances and other provisions not currently
deductible for tax purposes using the liability method at the rates currently in force at the
balance sheet date but does not account for net deferred tax debit balances. The amount not so
accounted for is disclosed in note 30.2.
2.4 Finance leases
Assets subject to finance leases are stated at the lower of present value of minimum lease
payments under the lease agreement and the fair value of the asset. The outstanding obligations
under the lease less finance charges allocated to future periods are shown as a liability.
2.5 Fixed assets and depreciation
Operating fixed assets except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Freehold land, capital work-in-progress and stores held for capital expenditure are stated at
cost. Cost in relation to certain plant and machinery items include capitalised exchange
differences related to foreign currency loans obtained for acquisition of plant and machinery
and borrowing cost of related loans during construction phase of relevant capital project.
Depreciation is charged to income on straight line method to write off the cost of an asset over
its estimated useful life at the rates specified in note 10. Capitalised exchange differences are
depreciated in annual installments so as to write them off over the remaining estimated useful
life of the asset.
Maintenance and normal repairs, including minor alterations, are charged to income as and
when incurred. Renewals and improvements are capitalised and the assets so replaced, if any,
are retired.
Gains and losses on deletion of assets are included in income currently.
2.6 Investments
These are stated at cost.
2.7 Stores, spares and loose tools
These are valued at moving average cost except items in transit which are stated at invoice
value plus other charges paid thereon.
2.8 Stock-in-trade
Stock-in-trade is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost in relation to crude
oil is determined on the basis of annual average cost of purchases on the principles of import
parity during the year and in relation to semi-finished and finished products it represents the cost
of crude oil and refining charges consisting of direct expenses and appropriate production
overheads. Direct expenses are arrived at on the basis of average cost for the year per barrel
of throughput. Production overheads, including depreciation, are allocated to throughput
proportionately on the basis of nameplate capacity.
Net realisable value in relation to finished product represents ex-refinery selling prices in the
ordinary course of business less costs necessarily to be incurred for its sale, as applicable, and in
relation to crude oil represents replacement cost at the balance sheet date.
2.9 Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into rupees at the rates of exchange ruling on
the date of the transaction except where such funds are committed for capital expenditure, in
which case these transactions are converted at the rate applicable to funds so committed for
such transactions. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year end
are translated at exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date or at the rate applicable to
funds so committed. Exchange differences are accounted for as follows:
(a) Exchange differences on translation and repayment of foreign currency loans utilised for
acquisition of fixed assets are capitalised and incorporated in the cost of asset.
(b) All other exchange differences are dealt with through the profit and loss account.
2.10 Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales is recognised on delivery of products ex-refinery to the customers.
The Company is operating under the import parity pricing formula whereby it is charged the
cost of crude on 'import parity' basis and is allowed product prices equivalent to the 'import
parity' price, calculated under agreed parameters. Under the pricing formula the Company is
entitled to a net of tax return on its paid-up capital with a guaranteed minimum of 10% and
allowable maximum of 40% in respect of its refinery operations. However, as per modifications
agreed with the Government, from July 1, 1995, the Company is allowed to retain surplus
profits over the maximum limit of 40% (after refunding the element of $ 4.30 per metric ton
allowed in product prices as per the agreed parameters), for financing of Refinery Upgradation
and Expansion Project. Any deficit or refund as a result is on account of the Government and
adjusted against revenue for the year. The retention of surplus profits over the maximum limit of
40% will be allowed untill Rs 1,500 million is generated to repay the supplier credit and local
loans obtained for Refinery Upgradation and Expansion Project.
2.11 Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost related to the financing of major projects during construction phase is
capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

dealt with in or for the purpose of the accounts of the Company except to the extent of dividend,
if any/received from the subsidiary.
