DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors of your Company take pleasure in placing before you the 45th Annual
Report together with the Audited Accounts and the Auditors' Report thereon for the year
ended 30th June, 1999.
PRODUCTION
112,030 tonnes of Clinker and 124,434 tonnes of cement was produced against the
target of 280,000 / 294,000 tonnes respectively during the year 1998-99 as operation of
the plant was closed w.e.f. 10-01-99 on the instructions of the Privatization Commission
and the Board of Directors.
MARKETING
The Company sold 136,558 tonnes of cement during the year against the target of
294,000 tonnes.
PRICING POLICY
Last year unhealthy price war was experienced which persisted in the early part of
year under report as well. We had to make downward revision in price many times.
Upward revision in price took place w.e.f. 16-10-1998 which raised our booking price to
Rs. 4,300/- per tonne. This price remained operative upto 22-04-1999. With downward
revision in excise duty, price was revised and booking price fixed at Rs. 3,820 per tonne
w.e.f. 23-04-1999 which remained operative up to 30-06-1999.
FINANCIAL
The Company's plant being closed has no cash resources of its own. Its cash
requirements including salary & wages, utility bills etc are financed by SCCP treating the
same as loan bearing 14% interest per annum.
Average ex-factory price of cement was Rs. 3,800.17 per tonne and average retention
price to the company after deduction of excise duty and SCCP cement surcharge was
Rs. 2,165.09 per tonne against the cost to make and sell of Rs. 3,917.09 per tonne
(including fixed cost of Rs. 2,147.38 per tonne) during the year. Retention price during the
last year was Rs. 1,925.85 per tonne against the cost to make and sell of Rs. 2,649.26 per
tonne (including fixed cost of Rs. 923.68 per tonne). Manufacturing cost has increased due
to increase in fixed charges as a result of closure of the plant w.e.f. 10-01-99. Operational
loss for the fiscal period was Rs. 239.251 million and after addition of revenue / other
income of Rs. 8.013 million, the company sustained a net loss for the year amounting to
Rs. 231.238 million.
