Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements o
the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Accounting Standards (ISA) as notified under th(
provision of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Wherever the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or directives issued by the Securities am
Exchange Commission of Pakistan differ with the requirements of these standards, the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or thf
requirements of the said directives take precedence.
Accounting Convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain financial instruments have been accounted for ii
the financial statements on the basis of their fair values.
Change in Accounting Policy
During the year, the SECP substituted the Fourth Schedule to the Companies Ordinance 1984, which is effective from the financial year ending on 01
after 5 July 2004. This has resulted in the change in accounting policy pertaining to recognition of dividends declared subsequent to the year / period end
The Company, effective from the current year, has not recognised the final dividend proposed subsequent to the year end. The change in accounting
policy has been accounted for retrospectively and comparative information has been restated in accordance with the benchmark treatment specified in
IAS 8 (Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Fundamental Errors and Changes in Accounting Policies). Had there been no change in the accounting policy, the
'unappropriated profit' would have been lower and the 'creditors, accrued and other liabilities' would have been higher for the years ended 31 December
2002 and 31 December 2003 by Rs 85.782 million and Rs 109.177 million respectively. The effect of the change in accounting policy has been reflected:
in the statement of changes in equity. The change in accounting policy has not resulted in any change in the profit and loss for the current year.               ;
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation except freehold land and capital work-in-progress which are stated at
cost. Cost in relation to property, plant and equipment signifies historical cost.
Depreciation is charged to income applying the straight line method, whereby the cost of an asset is written off over its estimated useful life without
taking into account any residual value. The cost of leasehold land is amoritised equally over the lease period.
Depreciation is charged on additions from the month the asset is put to use and on disposals upto the month of disposal.                                                     :
Maintenance and repairs are charged to income as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalised and the assets so replaced, if
any, are retired.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted for in rupees at the rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets an
liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into rupees at the rates of exchange approximating those at the balance sheet date. Exchang-
differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
