DIRECTORS REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
The year under review was one full of challenges; as numerated:
1. World prices of our raw material - Rice - remained very high due to drought in the Rice growing
/consuming areas brought about by the E1 Nino; while favourable growing conditions for corn
(raw material for competing producers) and its resulting lower prices took a severe toll on our sales.
2. As a result of a continuing drought in the Hub River catchment area - the Hub Dam reservoir was
totally depleted. Our factory draws water from the Hub Dam lake and hence the water supply was
curtailed till it was totally stopped in April.
The intermittent plant operations meant higher costs of operation.
3. Attempts to pass on these higher costs were successful with only a small portion of our market
and hence a big drop was registered in our sales figures.
Habib Sorbitol:
4. Low priced Imported Sorbitol (subsidized by E.U.) continued to be dumped into our markets - sales
tax free - while sales tax incurred on our raw material and inputs had to be absorbed by us forcing
us to merge the Sorbitol unit into the main operations as on 31st July, 1999.
Notwithstanding these adverse conditions, we bow our heads in gratitude to Allah the Provider for having
Blessed us with His Bounties which have enabled us to close the year in a profit, which the Board of
Directors propose to appropriate as follows:
Profit Before Taxation Rs. 24,846,190
Provision for Taxation Rs. 2,445,560
------------------
Profit After Taxation Rs. 22,400,630
Unappropriated Profit brought forward Rs. 40,352,866
------------------
Profit available for appropriation Rs. 62,753,496
==========
Appropriations:
Cash Dividend @ 15% on Paid-up-Capital Rs. 22,500,000
i.e. Rs.0.75 per share on 30,000,000 shares
Unappropriated Profit carried forward Rs. 40,253,496
------------------
Rs. 62,753,496
==========
Earning per share (of Rs.5/-) for current year is Rs.0.75 verses Rs.1.43 for preceding year.
Present Situation:
The monsoons of 99 have come and gone - with little rain in the catchment area (of the 60 foot drop
in the level - the water has risen 4 feet) allowing one day a week supply of water to the plant. We continue
to purchase water by tankers to enable partial operation of the plant.
Future:
-- Habib Agglomeration:
We intend to shift the plant to Quetta to take advantage of the favourable weather conditions
conducive to production. This shift will mean a temporary dislocation of production during the winter
off season and we hope to restart in time for the high summer season.
-- Habib Microfine:
With the expiry of the tax holiday period, we have made suitable amendments in our articles to
permit exports through this company of our other products as well.
-- We have taken on lease from our Associated Sister Companies, an Oil Extraction Plant which we
hope to operate on Canola Oil Seed.
-- We are diversifying into other higher value added products.
AND
Most importantly - please join me in our Prayers to Allah the Beneficent the Provider to Bless us with
Beneficial rains and Bless our efforts with Bounties as Befits His Glory. Aameen.
