STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 160 OF THE COMPANIES ORDINANCE, 1984.
The Company had imported plant and machinery for production of 5500 tons of cement per day. At
the time of import, the plant and machinery if not manufactured locally was exempted from tax.
However, due to withdrawal of exemption and change in the duty structure, imposition of sales tax
and other cost over runs, the project could not be completed. Besides the Financial Institutions who
had earlier committed funding withdrew the commitment in view of glut in the cement market. The
Directors in order to save the plant and machinery from deterioration are exploring the possibility of
re-export of the machinery and or sale of the same. In order to enter into negotiation with the
prospective buyers and to obtain approval of the Government agencies and departments, the
Directors seek consent of the members.
DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors of your Company hereby present their report together with Audited Accounts for the
year ended June 30, 1999.
The Company is facing the financial crunch and the management is making every effort to get the
additional funds to put the project on the track of completion. The uncertain economic environment
has further worsened the conditions. The management had tried its level best to attract foreign
investment but the same could not materialize due to poor investment climate. The management
has also requested to the Committee for Sick units for the revival of the unit, which if completed will
contribute billion of rupees towards national exchequer in terms of taxes, duties and other levies. In
spite of sluggish cement market and economic slump in the country, the management is confident
that cement plant with rated capacity of 5500 tons has potential to be viable and will be profitable.
The Government should take cognizance of the facts and contribute in the completion of project by
providing necessary funds to cover the cost overruns. The project has the importance of a national
project because it will contribute in economic growth, provide job opportunities and enrich the
national exchequer. While every effort is being made for additional financing and representations to
the Government for complete or partial exemption of duties and taxes, your Directors are also
exploring the feasibility of re-export and or sale of the plant and machinery. In case necessary
financing to complete the project could not be arranged, export and or sale of the plant and
machinery would be inevitable to save the machinery from deterioration.
Board of Directors
On October 18, 1999, Khawaja Mohammad Kaleem was replaced with Mr. Palle O. Jorgensen,
nominee of M/s F. L. Smidth-Fuller Engineering Group. We thank Khawaja Mohammad Kaleem for
his contributions and wish him more success in life and welcome Mr. Palle O. Jorgensen in his new
assignment.
Auditors
The Auditors, M/s Hussain Chaudhury & Co. Chartered Accountants, retired and being eligible, offer
themselves for re-appointment.
Y2K Compliance
The management of your Company confirm that all its computer hardware and software are year
2000 compliant.
Pattern of Shareholding
The pattern of shareholding as on June 30, 1999 is annexed.
Acknowledgment

devotion of executives and employees of the Company during the year. Our special thanks to our
