DIRECTORS' REPORT
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
The Directors are pleased to present their 15th Annual Report of your Company along with the Audited Accounts together with Auditors'
Report thereon for the year ended June 30, 1999.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The financial results are summarized below:
30-06-99 30-06-98
Sales 162,369,581 174,344,488
Gross Profit 24,727,466 13,450,495
Financial Expenses 40,891,351 42,970,744
Loss before taxation 28,689,600 39,046,441
,Loss after taxation 29,501,420 39,918,156
Although, on the whole, the financial results for the year reflect signs of improvement in gross profit inspire of decrease in sales value,
owing to ever increasing cost of financing which is on the rise almost every year, the net result, unfortunately, turned out to be a negative
one. Every effort was made by your Directors to minimize administrative and operational costs but the uncontrollable financial charges
overwhelmed them and off-set whatever gain could be made in this regard.
REVIEW
The turnover for the year under review dropped to Rs. 162,369,581 from Rs. 174,344,488 of the previous year due to the reason that
last year there was slight increase in demand for sacking from Director General Food, Ministry of Food and Agriculture on account
of higher imports of wheat. However, the Company has managed to increase its production to 4,442 MT as against 4,281 MT of last
year.
Nevertheless, the prevalence of acute economic hardship in the country, the periodic increase in power and gas charges as well as
the volatile market forces and last, but not least, the unbearably high rate of mark-up and other financial charges, teamed up to pose
almost insurmountable stumbling blocks in the way of our turning into profit the otherwise increased quantity of production and higher
sales.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
While, undoubtedly, there seems to be a great potential for us to capture our share of the local market, it must be frankly admitted
that our profitability depends on easing economic, fiscal and political difficulties faced by the country as much as on the stability of
Pakistan rupee. Your Directors are hopeful that as soon as they are able to surmount these difficulties and over come the adverse
factors adumbrated above, the Company can expect to have a smooth sailing financially. In this behalf no stone will be left unturned
and every nerve will be strained to achieve fiscal self-sufficiency and economic buoyancy.
DELlSTING
Owing to heavy losses suffered by the Company during the last seven years, the Directors could not declare any dividend / bonus
to the shareholders for these years. The Management feels very strongly that minority shareholders should not suffer any more.
Therefore, they advised the sponsors to buy back all shares of the minority shareholders from the market. The sponsors have given
their consent and agreed to buy back such shares @10/- per share. Hence, the Karachi Stock Exchange has been approached to
de-list the Company.
AUDITORS
The Company's Auditors, M/S Faruq All & Co. Chartered Accountants, have resigned. The casual vacancy has been filled by the
Board of Directors who appointed M/S Sarwars, Chartered Accountants for the year 1998-99. The auditor M/S Sarwars, Chartered
Accountants, retire and offer themselves for re-appointment as Auditors for the year 1999-2000.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT
All hardware and software of the Company are now Y2K compliant, initial testing has been done and we are confident that there will
be no problems in our computer systems.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The Directors avail themselves of this opportunity to express their thanks to all the staff members and workers for their loyalty, sincere
efforts and hard work done during the year under review. The Directors also wish to put on record their thanks to the shareholders,
the Company's Bankers, customers and suppliers for their continued cooperation and support. They also wish to acknowledge with
thanks the services rendered by M/S Faruq All & Company, Chartered Accountants.
