DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors welcome the Members at the 37th Annual General Meeting of the Company
and have pleasure in presenting annual report alongwith Audited Accounts and Auditor's Report
thereon, for the year ended June 30th 1999. The Company during the year under review sustained
a loss of Rs 103.771 million before tax as against net loss of Rs 64.730 million during the
year 1997-98. The reasons for incurring losses of Rs 103.771 million were on account of lower
production and sales of cement to the extent of 154,750 tonnes and 134,655 tonnes respectively
during the year as compared to last year. The performance of the company in terms of production
and sales in the year under review is as follows:-
The main reasons of loss during the year were reduced sales volume and increased cost
of production due. to increased labour cost on account of 50% closure and with no significant
increase in sale-price.
PRODUCTION:
It is to inform the members that the Company produced 210,909 tonnes Of clinker and
298,746 tonnes of cement in the year under review. The production of the year under review
is compared with that of last year hereunder:

298,746 453,496 (154,750)
========== ========== ==========
Due to low demand, production was partly suspended during the current year which resulted
in under utilization of capacity. During the year, the company has closed a part of the cement plant
(2 kilns of semi dry process) which represents about 50 percent of the production capacity of clinker.
MARKETING:
During the year, less demand and more supply position of cement persisted in he country.
Construction industry remained in poor shape. The Company continued to face difficulty in selling
its products in bulk as compared to private manufacturers due to the fierce competition from them.
As a result, there was a decrease in sale of cement during the year to the extent of 134,655 tonnes
as under:-

DIVIDEND:
In view of the losses, no dividend is being recommended for the year 1998-99.
EARNING PER SHARE:
Rs. - 11.72 (Minus Rupees Eleven and Paisa Seventy Two)
GOING CONCERN:
As regards Auditors' observation regarding "Going Concern", we report that since it is neither
possible to undertake BMIR nor we are in a position to restructure the loans, nothing could be
done to rectify the situation.
PROVISIONS FOR DOUBTFUL DEBTS:
The Directors consider the provision for doubtful debts as sufficient. However, the receivables
shall be scrutinised closely for appropriate adjustment subsequently, as suggested by the auditors.
MISSING ASSETS ITEMS:
Physical verification of fixed assets had been done by company's staff members. However,
the report was not reliable. Therefore, the job of "Physical Verification of Fixed Assets" has
been given to a firm of Chartered Accountants. After the receipt of their final report, the clear
position regarding "Missing Items" will be known.
PAYMENT OF DEBTS:
Due to poor liquidity position, only part-payment against the installments of the loan could
be made. The Company succeeded in getting the loans rescheduled from the holding Corporation.
DIRECTORS:
Since the last Annual General Meeting, the following change has taken place in the Board
of Directors of the Company :-
Mr. Samir Ahmed has been nominated as director by National Investment Trust Ltd. in place
of Mr. Razi-ur-Rehman Khan.
While welcoming the new director, we place on record our appreciation for the valuable
services rendered by the outgoing director.
AUDITORS:
Present auditors M/s Taseer Hadi Khalid & Co., Chartered Accountants, have retired. However,
the Board has recommended the appointment of M/s Ibrahim, Shaikh & Co., Chartered Accountants,
as auditors of the company for the financial year 1999-2000.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM:
During the year the company have obtained a certificate from M/s. Dadabhoy Software Company
relating to compliance of year 2000 issue of computer system and applications.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
The Chairman and Directors of the Company place on record the appreciation for the hard
work done by the Workers, Staff & Officers of the Company during the year 1998-99 with the
hope that they would accelerate their joint efforts and dedication for achieving yet better results
