Add: Net loss brought forward Rs. (19,181,741)
------------------
Net Loss Carried Forward Rs. (68,118,093)
==========
In view of the adverse financial results, directors have decided to passover dividend.
WORKING RESULTS
During the financial year under report, the company suffered net post-taxation loss of
Rs. 48.936 million mainly due to (1) carrying huge stocks of major product jute grain sacks till
March, 2001 due to surplus wheat at home being no demand in the period August/December, 2000.
(2) Loss of business of 3000 bales suffered by the company on account of non-availability of required
qualities of raw material which could not be imported due to L/c opening restrictions. (3) Fire
at port which affected 1,500 tons raw jute stock in March, 2001 resulting in layoffs and increase
in the fixed expenses. (4) Persisting liquidity crisis forcing bankers to stop L/c opening for buying
raw jute timely. (5) Non-payment of bill by Sind Government amounting to Rs. 17.50 million for
45 days. (6) Withholding of security deposit of Rs. 7.5 million by the Punjab Food for 90 days which
was received in the subsequent financial year. (7) Food departments bargained and negotiated
rock bottom rates for grain sacks due to high stocks levels with the industry in March 2001. (8)
Inability of the company to retrench 49% labour force which is management's right forcing it to
keep the factory running on layoffs and thus increase fixed expenses and (9) Increase in electricity
costs to tariff increases and fixed charges.
SALES TURNOVER
As a result of lower demand, sales during the year under review declined by 28%. Decline
in sales would have been higher had exports to Iran not increased from Rs. 6.744 million to
Rs. 50.193 million. In view of uncertain procurement targets, buying agencies resorted to remain
away from the market till the month of March. However later on, with the revision of their targets,
orders for heavy quantities were floated by them for supply during the April-June quarter but
due to depleted stocks, your company could not avail benefit of this.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Since the bulk of product is jute grain sacks and it's demand can only be firmed up in
February/March, 2001 the real impact of operating position would crystallize in that period. The
Central government has, however, instructed provincial food departments to procure 4 million
tons wheat, which would create industry demand of 120,000 bales of grain sacks. But with the
industry's current stock position, it appears that the industry would find it difficult to meet the
target.
