DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors welcome the members at the 36th Annual General Meeting of the Company
and have pleasure in presenting Annual Report alongwith Audited Accounts and Auditors' Report
thereon, for the year ended June 30th 1998. The Company during the year under review sustained
a loss of Rs. 64.730 million before tax as against net loss of Rs. 90.604 million during the
year 1996-97. The reasons for incurring losses of Rs. 64.730 million were on account of lower
despatches of cement and lower sales price in competition with the private sector companies.
After seven months there was a little spur in the market, the company increased the sale price
and did earn some profits. Then the market was flooded with cheaper cement. The demand
diminished further and we lost the ground we had gained. The performance of the company
in terms of production and sales in the year under review is as follows:
PRODUCTION:
We are pleased to inform the members that the Company produced 398,538 tonnes of
clinker and 453,496 tonnes of cement in the year under review.
The production of the year under review is compared with that of last year hereunder:

MARKETING:
Cement market in general and of our area in particular remained slum during greater part of year
due to socio-economic conditions prevailing in the country. The market was further depressed by
dumping of cement by private sector. These factors caused a decrease of 71,016 tonnes in our sales
volume as compared to the Last Year's. Comparison of sales for the year with that of the last year
is summarized below:
