AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
We have audited the annexed balance sheet of MUSTEHKAM CEMENT LIMITED as on
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
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;
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;
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 and statement of changes in
financial position, together with the notes forming part thereof, 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 loss and the changes in financial position for the year then ended; and
d) in our opinion, no Zakat was deductable at source under the Zakat and Ushr
Ordinance, 1980.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note No. 1.2 to the accounts. The
company has incurred losses of Rupees 826.988 million including loss of Rupees 264.612
million for the year. The company's current liabilities have exceeded its current assets by
Rupees 494.232 million and its total liabilities exceed its total assets by Rupees 508.527
million. These factors raise doubts that the company will be able to continue as a going
concern. However, these accounts have been prepared on going concern basis, which is
dependent on the successful outcome of the matters stated in the aforesaid note.
