DIRECTORS' REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Directors and myself it is my privileged honour to welcome you to the 16th Annual Meeting of
the Company and it is with glorification of Allah's Blessings that I present Sixteenth Annual Report for the 1999
Financial Year along with the Financial Statements for the year ended on September 30, 1999.
The Crushing Season 1998-99 did not remain free from uncertain conditions and unforeseen rattling problems.
Short-supply of sugarcane with further increase in crushing capacity all around, added more difficulties in
procurement of cane and its price competition. Though minimum support price of cane per 40 KG and the rate
of Quality Premium @ 0.50 paisa per every 0.1% increase over benchmark of 8.7% remained the same undisturbed
by the Government but the market price found no economical barrier and even ethical norms. It was free for
all and the newly born and inducted middlemen were in complete control to crush the rules, laws and the most
essential good relationships till recent maintained between the Growers and the Millers. The Sugar Factories
Control Act and its purpose such as regular lifting and supply of the cane to the Mills for smooth crushing, the
total cost of sugar production, the total quantity of sugar in the country have all now become important subject
and factors to study by the policy makers to save the entire sugar industry and total sugar economics from complete
collapse.
Actual sugar cane crushed during the year in Sindh Zone was higher by 1.24 million tons (8.97%). Average
Operating Efficiency (capacity utilization) in Sindh Zone during the year was 64.14%. However our achieved
capacity utilization, only with the Mercy of Allah, was 65.86% i.e. comparatively little higher by 1.72%. Whereas
average crushing per day during reporting crushing season works out to be 3,193 tons, which is less as against
last year's 3,209 tons average per day and so also the sucrose recovery average 9.6273% against last year's
10.80%. This ofcourse was because of weather conditions, no rains and delayed supply of cane from fields by
Cane Growers in expectation of receiving higher price from competing Mills. We, facing all such turmoils, remain
Grateful to Allah for His Guidance in our efforts and efficiency which can be judged by comparing the averages
attained by industries of Sindh which was 8.96 percent recovery for the year under report.
Because of the reasons stated above, our company has incurred an operational loss of Rs. 18.058 million before
other charges and income. However, due to the final decision in our favour, the Collector of Customs was ordered
by the Honourable Court to refund the Bank Guarantee and also the amount forcibly taken earlier. As such the
reverse entry of the remaining balance of Rs. 38.098 million has been shown as this year's income.

FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
Our Company, with the Blessings of Allah, has paid off every financial commitments dues in time. Last installment
of Rs. 3.9 million against GTF loan has also been paid on December 26, 1999, the due date. All long term loans
secured from NDFC for project financing have been totally cleared. By the Grace of ALMIGHTY ALLAH, our
company is free from all previously committed liabilities obtained for Project Financing.
EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVEMENT PLAN UNDER BMR
SASM, as recently planned, carried out an Efficiency & Improvement Programme to increase its sugar recovery
and its quality by virtue of better cane handling, management, preparation, extraction and thereafter controlling
moisture content in its bagasse for better burning.
Under the Programme, our company has incurred an expenditure of Rs. 14.897 million upto 30th September,
1999 against purchase and installation of Heavy Duty Shredder, Turbine 1500 K.W. etc., which MASHAHALLAH
was successfully operated during the crushing season year 1999-2000 and has helped to obtain highest (10.08%)
recovery of sucrose in Pakistan from the cane crushed during the year.
CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY CLAIMS AND PENDING CASES
Central Excise Duty refund claim cases for the years 1991-92 and 1992-93 are still awaiting for the hearings
turn in Courts and Appellate Tribunals respectively. However, case for 1988-89, as reported above, has finally
been justly decided in our favour. The Hon. Supreme Court dismissed the Final Review Petition filed by the
Collector, Customs & Excise, Hyderabad on 30.12.1999. The Bank Guarantee given by the company has been
cancelled by the Bank and the amount of Rs. 13,648,200 deposited by us, has been released. Similarly the balance
refund of Rs. 7.8 million after adjustment of current Sales Tax out of the second Bank Guarantee amount of
Rs. 10.75 million, which was forcibly encashed by the Collector in June 1996, has also been received and credited
in company's account.
EXPORT OF SUGAR
The company, By the Grace of ALLAH, did export 10,518.50 tons of sugar during the year under report.
International sugar price fluctuated to as low as US$ 161.00 per ton F.O.B. The government considering various
factors allowed Duty-Draw back of Rs. 4,500 per ton on these exports. This was in addition to the usual exemption
in Central Excise Duty and/or Sales Tax. The Sugar Industry thus was partly saved from otherwise disastrous
end.
ON-GOING CURRENT SEASON 1999-2000
