DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHARE HOLDERS
Your Directors are pleased to present their annual report alongwith audited accounts for the financial year ended on 30th
June 2000.
General
The cement industry in Pakistan remains under pressure. The expansion of existing and commissioning of new cement
plants continues to adversely impact upon the gap between demand and supply of cement.
Industrial growth which was previously stagnant is displaying an upward trend alongwith exports and foreign exchange
reserves of the country due to the far-sighted economic policies of the present government. Fiscal reforms, encouraging
industrial conversion from furnace oil to Sui Gas, an ambitious privatization program and conclusion of the long-standing
WAPDA-Hub Power Company dispute on tariffs are expected to convey the right signal to foreign and local investors.
Accordingly, as economic demand and investment activity in the nation picks up in the coming year, the demand of the
cement industry should register a modest recovery.
Financial Results
The Company has earned a net operating profit of Rs. 18.768 million for the year under review as against the gross operating
loss of Rs. 152.909 million of the preceding year. Net Profit after tax for the year under review is Rs. 44.465 million as
compared to the loss after tax of Rs. 151.207 million of the last year.
The Company, having suffered a loss in every financial year since 1997, has managed a positive turn around by reverting
back to the profitability status.
Operating Performance
The summary of operating results is given below.
1999-00     1998-99
(Tonnes)
Clinker Production 409,455 316,715
Cement Production 381,120 367,840
Dispatches 380,482 365,248
The clinker production increased by 92,740 tonnes, which is 29.3 % higher as compared to last year. The cement production
increased by 4% from the previous year where as the actual sales were also higher by 3.6 % from the preceding year.
Marketing
The company was successful in retaining its market share inspite of very tough competition prevailing in the market due to
excessive supply of the cement. The product acceptability remained satisfactory in the eyes of the customer.
Expansion / Development and Maintenance
During the year under review the Company took over the control and management of Dandot Cement Company Limited
which has an installed capacity of 504,000 metric tonnes of cement. This "dry process" based cement plant shall be a
valuable Associate Concern for the Company.
By working in co-ordination, the two cement companies are expected to generate greater production and larger market share
opportunities in the years to come.
The cement plant performance remained satisfactory and its normal maintenance has been carried out throughout the year.
Pattern of Shareholding
Pattern of Shareholding of the company is annexed.
Auditors
M/s Hameed Chaudhri & Co. Chartered Accountants, the retiring auditors, being eligible offer themselves for re-
appointment for the year ended 30th June 2001.
The auditors have expressed opinion in terms of non compliance of section 208 of the Companies Ordinance 1984 for the
Investments made by the Company in Dandot Cement Company Limited, stating that such investments, were required to
be approved under the special resolution by the members in their meeting to be held for this purpose.
Consequently, in an Extraordinary General Meeting called on the 8th December 2000, the member approved all such acts
and actions which have been undertaken by the directors in regard to the acquisition of shares and investments made in
Dandot Cement Company Limited.

cordial relationship that exists between the labour and the management. It is hoped that they will continue to work with
same zeal and spirit.
