CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
This was one of the most difficult year in terms of business opportunity in the industry. During this year the economy
of the country remained sluggish. We faced continues recession, in the country and the financial crises in the public
and private sectors and lack of economic activity in the countey further aggravated the situation.
Due to fewer orders from the utility companies and the private sector, the engineering companies whose manufacturing
facilities remained partly utilised, resulting in very low prices, resulting in continued losses due to inadequate profit
margins to cover selling and administrative expenses and financial charges.
To overcome the difficulties in such an environment our effort were directed towards corporate restructuring,
streamlining production capacities, and taking other stringent measures to cut costs and look towards new business
avenues, since it seems that manufacturing has a bleak future until and unless the government realizes the crises the
engineering industry is facing.
Priority has never been given to Engineering industry, and no real incentives were provided for the exports of
engineering goods. Engineering Capital goods industry has particularly suffered because of lack of government support
or consistent policy.
Support, seems a far cry, when the government organizations are not even willing to pay their bills on time.
We are trying to consolidate and plan for the future. A long term plan has been made. We are hopeful of securing
further line for working capital, which would put us in a position to turn around the Company.
Sales went down due to the inability of the Utility Companies to place orders or pay their bills on time owning to
their financial crises and stagnant private sector business.
Losses went up due to lower sales. The effect was further compounded because of high financial charges. We are
making efforts to reduce these debts and put in an efficient financial management system.
The margins were not satisfactory due to cut throat competition in the shrinking market. Production capacities of all
our products remained substantially under utilised for major portion of the year.
Trade debts increased because of nonpayment by the public sector customers owing to Shortage of funds.
The company has an excellent reputation with good demand for its products. What is required is a better business
and investment climate in the country to improve.
The Government needs to be more aware of some of the problems hindering progress in the engineering sector and
take positive steps to improve the business climate.
We can only wait and hope for this change, which in turn would improve out' future and we can once again look
forward to profits.
The two subsidiary companies namely JPT and JPI have been closed to cut operational costs. We are trying to sell
some of our assets and regulate a settlement with NDFC on outstanding of these subsidiaries.
Our thanks to all our managers, officers, workers who have been working under difficult conditions.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
We have examined the annexed consolidated financial statements comprising consolidated balance sheet
of JOHNSON & PHILLIPS (PAKISTAN) LIMITED and its subsidiary companies as at June 30, 1999
and the related consolidated profit and loss account and consolidated cash flow statement together with
the notes forming part thereof, for the year ended June 30, 1999. We have also expressed separate
opinions on the financial statements of Johnson & Phillips (Pakistan) Limited and the individual financial
statements of all the subsidiary companies. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Holding
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our examination.
2. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing guidelines and accordingly
included such tests of accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances.
3. The subsidiaries of the group, Johnson and Phillips Industries (Pakistan) Limited and Johnson and
Phillips Transformers (Private) Limited ceased production in July 1997 and February 1998 respectively.
The accumulated losses of the Group aggregating to Rs. 285.172 million have wiped out the equity and
current liabilities aggregating to Rs. 462.465 million exceed the current assets by Rs. 235.362 million.
These factors together with the information given in Note: 1.2 indicate that there is substantial doubt
regarding the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Consequently, adjustments may be
required to the recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities.
4. The Group is contesting a suit filed by National Development Finance Corporation claiming recovery of
Rs. 161.554 million. No provision has been made in these accounts for liquidated damages amounting
to Rs. 31.707 million included in the amount of this claim.
5. In the absence of information regarding realisable value of several balances under stores and spares,
stock in trade, trade debts, advances to suppliers, deposits and other receivables aggregating to Rs.
107.171 million we have not been able to confirm that the amount would be realised at carrying values.
6. In the absence of supports and information and explanations, balances amounting to Rs. 7.942 million
are being carried forward as "Receivable from Ex-management". In our opinion provision should be
made for the loss that would arise in the event this amount is not recovered as explained in Note: 1.3.
7. Except for the matters referred in paras 3 to 6 above, in our opinion the consolidated financial statements
examined by us present fairly the financial position of Johnson & Phillips (Pakistan) Limited and its
subsidiary as at June 30, 1999 and the results of their operations for the year then ended.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
1. NATURE AND STATUS OF BUSINESS
1.1 Johnson and Phillips (Pakistan) Limited was incorporated in Pakistan as public limited company and its shares
are quoted on Karachi Stock Exchange. The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture, installation and
sale of electrical equipments.
Subsidiaries of Johnson & Phillips (Pakistan) Limited are public and private limited companies and are engaged
in the business of manufacturing and sale of electrical and mechanical equipments and appliances and participation
in turnkey engineering industrial projects.
The following subsidiaries have been consolidated in the accounts of the Holding Company:
Subsidiaries Company Group Operating status
Status Holding
M/s Johnson & Phillips Industries Public 100% Ceased production in
(Pakistan) Limited Limited July, 1997
M/s Johnson & Phillips Transformers Private 70% Ceased production in
(Private) Limited Limited February, 1998
M/s Johnson & Phillips EMO Private 51% Operating
(Private) Limited Limited
1.2 The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the following significant factors:
a. negotiate a package with the lenders for restructuring existing debt obligations on reasonable terms
b. negotiate adequate working capital facilities for short term so that orders in hand can be serviced
c. successfully contest the suit filed by National-Development Finance Corporation
d. negotiate profitable contracts with the utility companies who are the primary customers of the Group.
The Management is in the process of negotiating a package with the lenders for rescheduling current overdue
debts on more favourable terms. Subsequent to balance sheet date they have successfully negotiated additional
working capital facilities to service the current orders in hand. As regards future business prospects, because
of adverse economic conditions of the industry in general and the utility companies in particular, the
Management is of the opinion that they may not be able to procure contracts at desired level of profitability
in the foreseeable future.
Under these circumstance the Management is of the opinion that they have no alternative but to streamline the
asset base of the Group by disposing surplus assets at market values and using the proceeds to clear interest
bearing and other current debts. The plan of action in this regard is being reviewed for implementation.
The financial statements are prepared on going concern basis and, therefore, do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities.
1.3 On August 31, 1997 there was a change in management of a subsidiary company. The Ex-Management was
r
