CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Dear Shareholders,
I take pleasure in welcoming you to the 17th Annual General Meeting of Bolan Castings Limited and presenting Annual
Report and Accounts of the company for the year ended 30th June 1999.
By the grace of Almighty Allah, performance of your company during the fiscal year under review showed considerable
improvement as compared to the results of last year. The demand for castings by the tractor industry remained high,
which enabled the company to produce 8352 metric tons of castings as compared to 3979 metric tons during last
year registering an increase of about 110% in the capacity utilization. Despite price reduction of around
7% to the tractor industry on enhanced volume, net sales rose to a record figure of Rs. 406 million,
which was 97% higher than the last year. Administration Expenses increased nominally by 4.67%
while Selling and Distribution Expenses (including freight charges) increased proportionate to sales.
Financial Expenses, however, increased to Rs. 20.00 million as compared to Rs. 15.12 million during the previous year.
The company also succeeded in appreciably reducing the long-term loan liability.
Net Profit before tax improved by 54% due to increased sales, better management practices and cost controls,
to a record Rs. 50.52 million as compared to Rs. 32.71 million of the previous year. Net profit after tax amounted
to Rs. 33.76 million as against Rs. 8.06 million last year. Accordingly, your Directors were pleased to consider and
recommend a Cash Dividend of 25% (Rs. 2.5 per share of Rs. 10.00 each) as against 15% recommended last year.
The plant and machinery of your company was originally designed for producing raw castings only. However,
the company has successfully diversified towards setting up of machining lines for some components,
while efforts are in hand to further enhance inhouse machining capabilities.
You can be proud of your company to have become first foundry in Pakistan to achieve ISO-9002 quality management
certification in March 1999. This has enabled the company to venture out in the global markets for export by displaying
its products at international trade fairs.
I am also pleased to state that your company has taken all possible steps to ensure that the company's computer
hardware, software and all electronic facilities are year 2000 compliant.
The cordial relationship between the management and workers continued to enhance productivity, profitability
and growth of the company in a congenial working atmosphere.
