DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The directors of your company welcome you to the 14th Annual General Meeting of the
company and present their report together with the audited financial statement of the company
for the year ended June 30, 2004.
OPERATING RESULTS
During the year under review, your company registered a turnover of Rs. 663.854 million, with
a Gross Profit of Rs. 68.010 million and a Net Profit of Rs. 15.009 million. During the period the
company generated 174,463 M WH of electricity while last year it was 165,855 MWH.
In contrast with last, year, the HFO prices remained at an acceptable level most of the year but
in the last quarter prices surged to an all time high. At present petroleum prices are still
increasing touching new heights. On the other hand, WAPDA Tariff brought electricity rates
downward and affects almost seven months of the year under review. During the period, your
company performed well and increase in generation and effective cost management
contributed towards profits, however, reduction in WAPDA Tariff and last quarter increase in
HFO prices curtailed profit for the year.
As reported last year our efforts with our banks has resulted in massive reduction in financial
expenses and hope to reduce further in the coming years.
Inspite of a volatile petroleum market your company has made a turn around in the financial
results in shape of a net profit, before tax, amounting to Rs. 15.009 million. We assure our
members that the management will continue our efforts to bring all cost to favorable levels.
As far as the operational activity of the plant is concerned, it is reported with satisfaction that the
optimum efficiency levels were maintained during the year. The overall plant operation is well
under control and plant management efficiently met all routine operational activities. In addition
to that, efficient and timely monitoring and maintenance activities also contributed to overall
operation and smooth customer relationship.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
These financial results brought Earnings Per Share from Rs. (2.77)toRs. 0.75.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
If the trend of rising HFO prices as witnessed in the last quarter and if there is no corresponding
increase in the WAPDA Tariff we foresee difficult times ahead. Since both HFO and Tariff are
beyond the control of the management we will have to wait for any further comment on the
future.
