GENERAL
1. As reported in last year's Annual Report, the Company's negotiations with GOP/WAPDA for reduction in tariff,
successfully culminated with signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with WAPDA on July 29, 1999 which
is subsequently to be incorpora, t. ed in Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The salient features of the package deal

e) The Company commits to provide RTU within 9 months of the date of signing of the agreement. SCADA system
will be provided as per Interim Agreement signed separately.

h) Engine Governor Operation Tests will be demonstrated over the range of 2% to 8% with droop being adjusted to
2% to 8%.
i) During full load rejection test, at least 50%, Diesel Generating Sets shall remain in operation.
2. As reported last year, O&M contract with Toyota Tsusho Corporation (Japan) / Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
  (Japan), has been effectuated.
3. Inspite of its best efforts, the company was not able to get the non-funded facility rescheduled with the result that
the first three installments were funded by the Banks' Syndicate, however, your management is confident in getting
this funded facility rescheduled by the Syndicate.

able to Y2K bug. Your company's management, being quite conscious of this matter, has taken necessary safety
