DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of your Company has pleasure in presenting the Annual Report, together with
the audited accounts for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Operating Results
During the year under review, the net sales amounting to Rs. 776 million (1999 Rs. 703 million) and
a pre-tax profit of Rs. 84 million after charging depreciation of Rs. 42 million and financial charges
12 million (1999 Rs. 5 million after charging depreciation Rs. 34 million and financial charges Rs.
19 million).
During the year under review the cement industry continued to experience stiff competition in the
market and has maintained a downward pressure on prices of cement. The existing over capacity in
the industry has resulted in an industry wide lower capacity utilization. However, continued cost cutting
methods and reduction in overheads costs, your company has maintained substantial improvement
over the last year.
While the concern of oversupply and continuous increase in furnace oil prices still remain, we hope
the improvement trend that has been witnessed since the last twelve months will continue, for the good
of the industry as a whole.
Future Prospects
With the improved financial discipline and economic revival strategies being introduced by the
government, the country's economy is expected to start improving. This improvement in economy
will most likely further improve the growth rate of cement consumption.
The increasing rate of local consumption and the expected opening up of exports will enhance the
capacity utilization ratio, and the gap in supply and demand caused by the temporary over supply
position is expected to further reduce in the coming years.
Expansion Project
Much progress has been achieved towards completion of the expansion project. However, in the year
under review efforts were focused on optimizing capacity of the present operational line and will be
completed and stabilized in due course of time.
Case with NDFC
As Board of Directors informed you in their last report that Company had filed judicial applications
in the High Court of Sindh against NDFC. The High Court of Sindh on august 28, 2000 has passed
an order to appoint a firm of Chartered Accountants to look into the figures mentioned in the plaint
as principal amount and verify from the plaintiff i.e. NDFC as to how this amount has been computed.
Management hopes that on the basis of merit these applications will be decided in favour of Company
and ultimately all shareholders will get benefit of the same.
Auditors
M/s. Sidat Hyder Qamar & Co., Chartered Accountants, the present auditors retire and being eligible
offer themselves for reappointment for next year.
Pattern of Shareholding
The Shareholding pattern of the Company as on June 30, 2000 is included in the annual report.
Management Relationship
The management relations remained cordial throughout the year and Board wishes to place on record
its appreciation for the dedicated efforts and services rendered by the officers and workers with the
expectation that the same zeal would be witnessed in the years to come.
Acknowledgements
I acknowledge with deep appreciation and wish to place on record our thanks to customers who
patronize our products and appreciate the help and support from the vendors and contractors because
of whose prompt services we have made good progress on our projects.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
We have audited the annexed balance sheet of DADABHOY CEMENT INDUSTRIES LIMITED as at
30 June 2000 and the related profit and loss account, cash flow statement and statement of changes
in equity together with the notes forming part thereof, for the year then ended and we state that we
have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief,
were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
It is the responsibility of the Company's management to establish and maintain a system of internal
control, and prepare and present the above said statements in conformity with the approved accounting
standards and the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards as applicable in Pakistan. These
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the above said statements are free of any material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the above said statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting policies and significant estimates made by management, as well as,
evaluating the overall presentation of the above said statements. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion and, after due verification, we report that:
a) in our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the Company as required by
the Companies Ordinance, 1984;
b) in our opinion
i) the balance sheet and profit and loss account together with the notes thereon have been
drawn up in conformity with the Companies Ordinance, 1984, and are in agreement
with the books of account and are further in accordance with accounting policies
consistently applied except for the change as stated in note 2.4 to the accounts with
which we concur;
ii) the expenditure incurred during the year was for the purpose of the Company's business; and
iii) the business conducted, investments made and the expenditure incurred during the year
were in accordance with the objects of the Company except for the fact that the
Company has made advances as referred to in note 19.1 and 19.2 to the accounts
contrary to provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. However, such advances
have been realized/adjusted subsequent to balance sheet date:
c) in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given
to us, the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement and statement of
changes in equity together with the notes forming part thereof conform with approved
accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan, and give the information required by the
Companies Ordinance, 1984, in the manner so required and respectively give a true and
fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 30 June 2000 and of the profit, its
cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended; and
d) in our opinion, no Zakat was deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980.
We draw attention to the following matters:
i) as disclosed in notes 6.2 and 6.3 to the accounts, the Company has filed various Judicial
Applications in the High Court of Sindh against the lender of interest and mark-up
based long term loans, aggregating to Rs. 598.913 (1999: Rs. 598.913) million, for
the reasons given in the above referred notes. These applications are currently pending
with the High Court of Sindh and, accordingly, a final decision in this regard has not
been rendered todate by the above referred Court.
ii) interest and mark-up on long term loans, aggregating to Rs. 67.480 (1999: 67.480)
million, as stated in notes 6.2 and 6.3 to the accounts have been recorded in the
accounts as reduction of outstanding balances of long term loans for the reasons state
in the above referred notes.
iii) the ultimate outcome of contingencies disclosed in note 11 to the accounts, aggregating
to Rs. 536.515 (1999: Rs. 427.130) million, cannot presently be determined and,
hence, no provision that may result therefrom has been made in the accounts for the
current year.
iv) as stated in note 2.6 to the accounts the Company is charging depreciation on cost of
plant, machinery and quarry equipment on the basis of production unit method, whereby
the rate of depreciation is computed with reference to the proportion which the actual
production bears to production units estimated to be produced during the useful economic
life of such assets. The Company over the recent years is experiencing a slump in
demand and hence decline in production thereby giving rise to unutilised capacity. In
view of the above, there is a need to review the depreciation method currently being
applied to the above assets and if, there has been a significant change in the expected
pattern of economic benefits from these assets, such method be adopted as would reflect
the changed pattern as required by IAS-16 "Property, Plant and Equipment".
