==========
Under the terms of the package the company was required to submit personal guarantees of all the directors
and original property documents of four properties owned. On the request of the company the requirement
of submission of personal guarantees was waived and the company deposited property documents
in respect of two properties. The documents of other two properties could not be submitted as these were
held by another bank against credit facilities extended to the company. Meanwhile all banks who were
otherwise required to implement the above package through court decrees, have filed cases against the
company for recovery of loans amounts plus markup and damages. The details of suits filed by the banks and
status of cases are as under:
Name of bank Amount of Status of the case
suit filed
Rs. In millions
United Bank Limited 100.04 Amount decreed for Rs. 60.822 million plus mark
up @ Paisa 60 per 1000 per day.
Allied Bank of Pakistan 240.36 Amount decreed for Rs. 98.668 million plus mark
up @ 17.5 per cent per annum.
Habib Bank Limited 414.26 At concluding stage.
National Bank of Pakistan 322.52 At concluding stage.
Based on the decision in the case of United Bank Limited the company expects there would be substantial
savings in interest/markup when all decrees are finalized and implemented.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Management of the company is constantly striving to turn around the Company. In order to utilize idle
capacity of the plant the Company has entered into agreements with two companies holding foreign fran-
chises for the assembly of their vehicles and tractors at its plant.
One agreement is for the assembly of light commercial vehicles and another is for assembly of tractors. The
assembly work will hopefully be in place in first quarter of 2001. Assembly of these vehicles ,will result in
utilization of additional capacity. The increased volumes will generate additional revenues.
Keeping in, view the above facts, it is hoped that the company will continue as a going concern.
AUDITORS
The present auditors M/s. Hameed Choudhri & Co. retire and being eligible have offered themselves for
appointment as auditors for the year 2000-2001.
