MARKET REVIEW
Low G.D.P. growth coupled with reduction in Government spending on development projects has
led the industry into crisis. Increase in input prices and depressed selling prices has adversely affected
the operating results of the Company. Presently there seems to be no improvement in economic
activity which will further weaken the cement industry. In order to save the industry from collapse,
the Government must take steps to rescue the cement industry. The industry at present is not in a
position to carry the burden of ever increasing input prices and high incidence of excise duty and
other taxes.
COST AUDIT
The Corporate Law Authority, Government of Pakistan, enforced Cost Audit of Cement Industry
through SRO. No. 846(1)98 dated 24th July, 1998 effective financial year 1997-98 which has been
implemented by the Company.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM
Tim Corporate Law Authority, in exercise of powers under section 246 of the Companies Ordinance,
1984 vide its circular He. 3/1998 dated October 05, 1998 has directed all listed Companies to disclose
in their future annual and half yearly accounts the status of the "year 2000 compliance".
Your Company is taken necessary measures to ensure that necessary modifications are made to the
computer system to cope with any unforeseen happening.
