The Directors welcome you to the 6th Annual General Meeting of the company and present before you the audited

Business Environment
During the year under review your company has had its fair share of challenges which stretched all its resources to
their limits. The year started with the after shocks of the 2008 financial crisis which depressed the international price
of Hydrogen Peroxide to unprecedented levels owing to lower international demand and worldwide excess capacity.
In the second quarter while the plant was producing at capacity, the prices started to firm up, it looked as if the worst
was behind us but alas it was not the case. For five consecutive months, from October 2009 to February 2010 the plant
was starved of natural gas, being an essential raw material, the production was down to a trickle. The management of
your company under such force majuere type circumstances strived day and night, to address all issues, however
insurmountable they may be seem.
By the grace of God and the efforts of your management the following major milestones have been achieved to realize
the potential of the business in line with its long term goals:

By Order of the Board

Lahore
August 30, 2010

Ladies & Gentlemen

Shareholders are requested to immediately notify change in address, if any, to the company's Share
Registrar M/s. Corplink (Private) Limited, Wings Arcade, 1-K, Commercial, Model Town, Lahore
and also furnish attested photocopy of their CNIC as per Listing Regulations, if not provided earlier.

Built the infrastructure to resolve the issue related to improving supply of gas.
Plant continuously producing at capacity.
International Retail Price of H2O2 has moved from Rs 23/kg in August'09 to Rs 44/Kg in August'10 an
increase of Rs 21/Kg (91%).
Loans from the Sponsors of Rs 409 mn to help revive the business after successive unplanned
catastrophes.
In principle obtained agreements from almost all members of the Syndicate to reschedule the long
term loans to align them with the current realities of the business.

Operational & Financial Highlights


The support from the Sponsors to the tune of Rs. 409 mn coupled with the support from the Syndicate of banks holding
the portfolio of Rs 1.47 bn of long term loans has made it possible for your company to maintain its operations.
The plant is producing around full capacity for the last three months (many days in during this period it has achieved
production volumes above full capacity), retail price is where the company can make healthy margins, banks have
been very supportive to help us with the rescheduling of the debt and we see no reason why the business cannot
achieve its true potential. The current business conditions have provided the confidence to all our stakeholders
including the financial institutions to support the managements and Sponsors efforts to turnaround the business.
Future Outlook
The current monsoon floods have wreaked havoc for many of our communities, the resultant challenges for your
company would not be very different from what will be faced by other businesses in the country, however, the
management of your company has experienced and persevered much worse circumstances, hence are better equipped
and confident that we have in place all the ingredients for a bright and prosperous future.
Corporate Governance
Your company is pleased to inform you that its Directors and management are fully conversant with the
responsibilities as formulated in Code of Corporate Governance and incorporated in the listing regulations of stock

Review Report to the Members on Statement of Compliance


with Best Practices of Code of Corporate Governance
We have reviewed the Statement of Compliance with the best practices contained in the Code of Corporate
Governance prepared by the Board of Directors of Descon Oxychem Limited ('the company') to comply with the
Listing Regulation No. 35 of the Karachi Stock Exchange where the company is listed.
The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance is that of the Board of Directors of the
Company. Our responsibility is to review, to the extent where such compliance can be objectively verified, whether
the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the company's compliance with the provisions of the Code of
Corporate Governance and report if it does not. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the company personnel
and review of various documents prepared by the company to comply with the Code.
As part of our audit of financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal
control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We are not required to consider
whether the Board's statement on internal control covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the
effectiveness of such internal controls, the company's corporate governance procedures and risks.
Further, Sub-Regulation (xiii a) of Listing Regulations 35 notified by The Karachi Stock Exchange (Guarantee)
Limited vide circular KSE/N-269 dated January 19, 2009 requires the company to place before the Board of Directors
for their consideration and approval related party transactions distinguishing between transactions carried out on
terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions and transactions which are not executed at arm's
length price, recording proper justification for using such alternate pricing mechanism. Further, all such transactions
are also required to be separately placed before the audit committee. We are only required and have ensured
compliance of requirement to the extent of approval of related party transactions by the Board of Directors and
placement of such transactions before the audit committee.

Auditors' Report to the Members


We have audited the annexed balance sheet of Descon Oxychem Limited as at June 30, 2010 and the related profit and
loss account, statement of comprehensive income, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity together
with the notes forming part thereof, for the year then ended and we state that we have obtained all the information and
explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
It is the responsibility of the company's management to establish and maintain a system of internal control, and
prepare and present the above said statements in conformity with the approved accounting standards and the
requirements of the companies Ordinance, 1984. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards as applicable in Pakistan. These standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the above said statements are free of any
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the above said statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting policies and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the above said statements. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion and, after due verification, we report that:
(a)

In our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the company as required by the Companies
Ordinance, 1984:

(b)

In our opinion:
(i)

We have not carried out any procedures to determine whether the related party transactions were undertaken at arm's
length price or not.
Based on our review nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance
does not appropriately reflect the company's compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in
the Code of Corporate Governance as applicable to the company for the year ended June 30, 2010.

August 30, 2010

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2010
1.

- IFRS 4, 'Insurance Contracts' is effective from 1 July 2009. The standard and amendments clarify how to account for
embedded derivatives, how to separately account for deposit components to avoid the omission of assets and liabilities,
further it permits an expanded presentation for insurance contracts acquired in a business combination or portfolio transfer
and addresses limited aspects of discretionary participation features contained in insurance contracts or financial
instruments. Overall, the IFRS disclosure help users understand the amounts in the insurer's financial statements that arise
from insurance contracts and the nature and extent of risks arising from insurance contracts.

Legal status and nature of business


1.1

Constitution and ownership


The company was incorporated in Pakistan as a private limited company on November 12, 2004 under the Companies
Ordinance, 1984 and was converted into a public limited company with effect from February 28, 2008 as approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) vide letter no. ARL 16222 dated March 14, 2008. Subsequently,
on September 15, 2008, it was listed on Karachi Stock Exchange. The registered office of the company is situated at 18-KM
Ferozepur Road, Lahore and the factory is situated at 18-KM Lahore-Sheikhupura Road, Lahore.

1.2

2.

- IFRS 5 (amendment), 'Measurement of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held-for-sale'. The
amendment is part of the IASB's annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment provides
clarification that IFRS 5 specifies the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as
held for sale or discontinued operations. It also clarifies that the general requirement of IAS 1 still apply, particularly
paragraph 15 (to achieve a fair presentation) and paragraph 125 (sources of estimation uncertainty) of IAS 1.

Activities
The company is principally engaged in manufacture, procurement and sale of hydrogen peroxide and allied products. The
company commenced its trial production from December 1, 2008 and commercial production from March 1, 2009.

- IFRS 8, 'Operating segments' is effective from 1 July 2009, replacing IAS 14, 'Segment reporting', and aligns segment
reporting with the requirements of the US standard SFAS 131, 'Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related
information'. The new standard requires a 'management approach', under which segment information is presented on the
same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.

Basis of preparation
2.1

2.2

2.3

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in
Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of and
directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives of the
Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail.

- IFRIC 12, 'Service Concession Arrangements' is effective from 1 July 2009. The IFRIC gives guidance on the accounting
by operators for public-to-private service concession arrangements. Infrastructure within the scope of this Interpretation
shall not be recognised as property, plant and equipment of the operator because the contractual service arrangement does
not convey the right to control the use of the public service infrastructure to the operator.

The company's inventory of 'working solution' classified under stores and spares was inadvertently overvalued by Rs 28.6
million as at June 30, 2009. This error has been rectified during the period by restating the opening balance of equity and
stores and spares by the same amount in line with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 8 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors'.

- IFRIC 13, 'Customer loyalty programmes' is effective from 1 July 2009 and clarifies that where goods or services are sold
together with a customer loyalty incentive (for example, loyalty points or free products), the arrangement is a multipleelement arrangement and the consideration receivable from the customer is allocated between the components of the
arrangement using fair values.

During the year, there were unexpected shortages and interruptions in supply of gas to the company resulting in production
loss and lower margins which were contrary to the commitment made by the supplier and beyond the control of the
company. The company has incurred a net loss of Rs 289.411 million during the year and accumulated loss stands at Rs
464.819 million as at June 30, 2010. Current liabilities exceed current assets by Rs 332.400 million and the existing
borrowing facilities are fully utilized. These conditions indicate the existence of an uncertainty on the company's ability to
continue as going concern. The management of the company, however, is very confident that it will be able to meet its
obligations on time and carry on the business without any curtailment based on the timely and proactive action taken by it,
including:

- IFRIC 15, 'Accounting for agreements for the construction of real estate' is effective from 1 July 2009 and addresses
whether an agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18. The IFRIC clarifies that the
terms of the agreement and all the surrounding facts and circumstances must be considered when determining under which
standard the agreement will be considered. Such a determination requires judgement with respect to each agreement. IAS
11 applies when the agreement for the construction of real estate meets the definition of a construction contract, that is the
buyer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design of the real estate before construction begins and/or
specify major structural changes once construction is in progress. In contrast an agreement for the construction of real estate
in which buyers have only limited ability to influence the design of the real estate is an agreement for the sale of goods
within the scope of IAS 18.

- Conversion of short term payable of Rs 276.785 million to associated companies into an interest bearing long term loan;
- Additional funding from associated companies of Rs 132 million as an interest bearing long term loan.

- IFRIC 16, 'Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation' is effective from 1 July 2009. A derivative or a non-derivative
instrument (or a combination of derivative and non-derivative instruments) may be designated as a hedging instrument in a
hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. The hedging instrument(s) may be held by any entity or entities within the
group, as long as the designation, documentation and effectiveness requirements of IAS 39 paragraph 88 that relate to a net
investment hedge are satisfied. In particular, the hedging strategy of the group should be clearly documented because of the
possibility of different designations at different levels of the group.

Furthermore, the company is in advance stages of finalizing of restructuring of its existing syndicate loan for relaxation in
key terms including the payment period and the syndicate members representing substantial portion of the lending have
already communicated in-principle agreement to the relaxation in terms. The management is confident that the
restructuring will be completed within a few months.
2.4

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards


2.4.1
The following amendments to existing standards have been published that are applicable to the company's financial
statements covering annual periods, beginning on or after the following dates:
- IFRS 2, 'Share based payment' is effective from 1 January 2009. Currently effective IFRSs require attribution of group
share-based payment transactions only if they are equity settled. The amendments resolve diversity in practice regarding
attribution of cash-settled share-based payment transactions and require an entity receiving goods or services in either an
equity-settled or a cash-settled payment transaction to account for the transaction in its separate or individual financial
statements.
- IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations' effective from 01 July 2009, broadens among other things the definition of business
resulting in more acquisitions being treated as business combinations, contingent consideration to be measured at fair
value, transaction costs other than share and debt issue costs to be expensed, any pre-existing interest in an acquiree to be
measured at fair value, with the related gain or loss recognised in profit or loss and any noncontrolling (minority) interest to

20

Amendments to published standards effective in current year


- IAS 1 (revised), 'Presentation of financial statements'. The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income
and expenses (that is, 'non-owner changes in equity') in the statement of changes in equity, requiring 'non-owner changes in
equity' to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All 'non-owner changes in equity' are required to be shown
in performance statement. Companies can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of
comprehensive income) or two statements (profit and loss account and statement of comprehensive income).
The company has preferred to present two statements; a profit and loss account (income statement) and a second statement
beginning with profit or loss and display components of other comprehensive income (statement of comprehensive
income). Comparative information has also been re-presented so it is in conformity with the revised standard. As this
change only impacts presentation aspects, there is no impact on profit for the year.
- IAS 23 'Borrowing Costs' Certain amendments have been published that are applicable to the company's financial

21

Annual Report 2010

DESCON OXYCHEM LIMITED

2.4.4

statements covering annual periods, beginning on or after July 01, 2009. Adoption of these amendments require the
company to capitalize the borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset (one that takes substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of
immediately expensing these borrowing costs has been removed. The company's current accounting policy is in
compliance with this amendment, and therefore there is no impact on the company's financial statements.
'

- IAS 36 (Amendment), 'Impairment of assets' (effective from 1 July 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB's annual
improvements project published in May 2008. Where fair value less costs to sell is calculated on the basis of discounted
cash flows, disclosures equivalent to those for value-in-use calculation should be made. However, there is no impact on the
company as there are no external or internal indicators of impairment.

Standards or Interpretations

3.

The company's significant accounting policies are stated in note 4. Not all of these significant policies require the management to
make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies
the management considers critical because of their complexity, judgment of estimation involved in their application and their impact
on these financial statements. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments involve assumptions or
estimates in respect of future events and the actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgments or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as follows:
a)

b)

2.4.3

Amendments and interpretations to published standards not yet effective


The following amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the
company's accounting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates:
AS 24 - Related Party Disclosures (revised 2009) effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 01, 2011. The
revision amends the definition of a related party and modifies certain related party disclosure requirements for governmentrelated entities. The amendment would result in certain changes in disclosures.

22

Useful life and residual values of property, plant and equipment


The company reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment on regular basis. Any change in estimates in future
years might affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding
effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.

The following amendments to existing standards have been published that are not applicable to the company's financial
statements:

There are other standards, amendments and interpretations that were mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or
after July 1, 2009 but were considered not to be relevant or did not have any significant effect on the company's operations.

Provision for taxation


The company takes into account the current income tax law and the decisions taken by appellate authorities. Instances
where the company's view differs from the view taken by the income tax department at the assessment stage and where the
company considers that its views on items of material nature is in accordance with law, the amounts are shown as contingent
liabilities.

Amendments to published standards effective in current year not applicable to the company

- IFRIC 18, 'Transfers of Assets from Customers' is effective from 1 July 2009. Entities may enter into transactions where
assets are transferred by a customer in return for connection to a network and/or provision of ongoing access to goods or
services delivered through that network. IFRIC 18 requires an item transferred from a customer to be recognised when it
meets the definition of an asset in the IASB Framework. All relevant facts should be considered to determine whether the
entity controls the item and whether it is probable there will be future economic benefits. The asset is recognised initially at
fair value. The corresponding credit is revenue and recognised in accordance with IAS 18, 'Revenue'.

July 01, 2011


July 01, 2010

Basis of measurement

- IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments : Disclosures' is effective from July 01, 2009. It requires disclosures about the significance
of financial instruments for the company's financial position and performance, as well as quantitative and qualitative
disclosure on the nature and extent to risks, however, it does not have any impact on the classification and valuation of the
company's financial instruments.

- IFRIC 17, Distributions of non-cash assets to owners is effective from 1 July 2009 and states that when a Bank distributes
non cash assets to its shareholders as dividend, the liability for the dividend is measured at fair value. If there are subsequent
changes in the fair value before the liability is discharged, this is recognised in equity. When the non-cash asset is
distributed, the difference between the carrying amount and fair value is recognised in the income statement.

July 01, 2010


July 01, 2013

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

- IAS 39 (Amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' - Reclassification of Financial Assets
(effective from July 1, 2009). This amendment to the Standard permits an entity to reclassify non-derivative financial assets
(other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss by the entity upon initial recognition) out of the fair value
through profit or loss category in particular circumstances. The amendment also permits an entity to transfer from the
available-for-sale category to the loans and receivables category, a financial asset that would have met the definition of
loans and receivables (if the financial asset had not been designated as available-for-sale), if the entity has the intention and
ability to hold that financial asset for the foreseeable future. Its adoption has not had any impact on the company's financial
statements.

- IAS 27, 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements' is effective from 01 July 2009, requires accounting for changes
in ownership interest by the group in a subsidiary, while maintaining control, to be recognized as an equity transaction.
When the group loses control of subsidiary, any interest retained in the former subsidiary will be measured at fair value with
the gain or loss recognized in the profit or loss.

4.2

The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed, at each financial year end, and
adjusted if impact on amortization is significant.

Taxation
Current
Provision of current tax is based on the taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing law for
taxation of income. The charge for current tax is calculated using prevailing tax rates or tax rates expected to apply to the
profit for the year if enacted. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary, to provision
for tax made in previous years arising from assessments framed during the year for such years.

The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that intangible may be impaired. If such
indication exists, the carrying amount of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their
recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their
recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognized in income currently. The recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the amortization
charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life.

Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising from
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases
used in the computation of the taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized.

4.5

Leases
The company is the lessee:

4.5.1
Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income
statement, except in the case of items credited or charged to equity in which case it is included in equity.
4.3

Leases where the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Assets
subject to finance lease are initially recognized at lower of present value of minimum lease payments under the lease
arrangements and the fair value of assets. Subsequently these assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
identified impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified
impairment loss. Freehold land is stated at cost. Cost in relation to certain property, plant and equipment comprises
historical cost and borrowing costs referred to in note 14.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost so as to achieve a constant rate on the balance
outstanding. The interest element of the rental is charged to profit over the lease term.
The related rental obligations, net of finance cost, are included in liabilities against assets subject to finance lease as referred
to in note 8. The liabilities are classified as current and non-current depending upon the timing of the payment.

Depreciation on all property, plant and equipment except land is charged to profit on the straight line basis so as to write off
the historical cost of an asset over its estimated useful life at the rates given in note 14 without taking into account any
residual value, as considered insignificant.

Assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the useful life of the asset on reducing balance method at the rates
given in note 15. Depreciation on leased assets is charged to the profit and loss account.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, at each financial year end, and adjusted if impact on depreciation
is significant. The company's estimate of the residual value of its property, plant and equipment as at June 30, 2010 has not
required any adjustment as its impact is considered insignificant.
Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the month in which the asset is acquired or
capitalized, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off.

Depreciation on additions to leased assets is charged from the month in which an asset is acquired while no depreciation is
charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off.

4.8

Materials in transit are stated at cost comprising invoice value plus other charges paid thereon.

24

Net realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs necessary to be
incurred in order to make a sale. Provision is made in the financial statements for obsolete and slow moving stock-in-trade
based on management's estimate.

Intangible Asset

Amortization is charged to income on the straight line basis so as to write off the cost of an asset over its estimated useful
life. Amortization on license acquired has been charged from the month of commencement of commercial production.

Stock in trade
Stock of raw materials, packing materials, work-in-process and finished goods, except for those in transit are valued
principally at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Cost of work-in-process and finished goods
comprises cost of direct materials, salaries of production staff and appropriate manufacturing overheads.

The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense.

Intangible asset represents cost of license acquired to manufacture hydrogen peroxide. Intangible asset is stated at cost less
accumulated amortization and identified impairment loss, if any.

Stores and spares


Stores and spares, except for the 'working solution' are valued at lower of moving average cost and net realizable value.
Write down in stores and spares is made for slow moving and obsolete items. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising
invoice value plus other directly attributable charges incurred thereon. Working solution is valued at lower of weighted
average cost determined on a yearly basis.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to income during the period in which they are
incurred.

4.4

Capital work in progress


Capital work in progress is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss, if any. Trial production losses are capitalized
till the date of commencement of commercial production as unallocated expenditure.

Initial fill of catalysts is capitalized with plant and machinery whereas costs of subsequent replacements of such catalysts
are included in property, plant and equipment and depreciated on straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment may be
impaired. If such indication exists, the carrying amount of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in
excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written
down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognized in income currently. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the
depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount over its estimated useful
life.

A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as de-recognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the profit
and loss account.

Mark up, interest and other charges on borrowings are capitalized up to the date of commissioning of the respective plant
and machinery, acquired out of the proceeds of such borrowings. All other mark-up, interest and other charges are charged

Investments classified as available for sale are initially measured at cost, being the fair value of consideration given. At
subsequent reporting dates, these investments are measured at fair value (quoted market price), unless fair value cannot be
reliably measured. The investments for which a quoted price is not available, are measured at cost as it is not practical to apply
any other valuation methodology. Unrealized gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value are included in the fair value
reserve in the period in which they arise.

on minimum turnover under section 113 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Minimum tax under section 113 is available for
set off for 5 years against normal tax liability arising in future years whereas tax under 'Final Tax Regime' is not available for
set off against normal tax liabilities arising in future years.
For the purposes of current taxation, the tax losses available for carry forward including pre-commencement expenditure as
at June 30, 2010 are estimated approximately at Rs 1,622.809 million (2009: Rs 1,375 million).

Financial risk management objectives

Financial risk factors


The company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, other price risk and

interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The company's overall risk management programme focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance.

(b)

Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by
failing to discharge an obligation. Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debts and its balances at
banks. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to
credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors (the Board).


(a)

Market risk

(I)

Currency risk

Credit risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions or receivables and payables that
exist due to transactions in foreign currencies. The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk in respect of
commitments against Letter of Credits in foreign currency. The management does not view hedging as being financially
feasible.
The company's foreign exchange risk exposure is limited to the outstanding foreign currency balances payable or
receivable at any balance sheet date. The company has no outstanding foreign currency balances as at June 30, 2010.
(ii)

Other price risk

(iii)

Other price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused
by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments
traded in the market. The company is not exposed to equity price risk as it does not have any exposure in equity securities.

Due to the company's long standing business relationships with these counterparties and after giving due consideration
to their strong financial standing, management does not expect non-performance by these counter parties on their
obligations to the company. Accordingly, the credit risk is minimal.

The credit quality of cash and bank balances that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to
external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rate:

Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the company to cash flow interest rate risk.

Fixed rate instruments

Saving bank accounts

1,227,602

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings. The
company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is spread over a large
number of counter parties and trade debts are subject to specific credit ceilings.

As the company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the company's income and operating cash flows are substantially
independent of changes in market interest rates.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and bank balances and the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. At June 30, 2010 the company had borrowing limits available
from financial institutions at Rs 58.970 million, investment available for sale at Rs 11.658 million and Rs 60.168 million in
cash and bank balances. The company follows an effective cash management and planning policy to ensure availability of
funds and to take appropriate measures for new requirements.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments


All of the following financial liabilities are exposed to profit / mark-up rate risk except trade and other payables
The company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a
change in interest rate at the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss of the company.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
If interest rates on saving bank accounts, long term loan and finances under mark-up arrangement, at the year end date, had
been 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, loss after taxation for the year would have been Rs 15.494 million
(2009: Rs 9.452 million) higher / lower, mainly as a result of higher / lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

The company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the company's ability to continue as a going
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Borrowings represent long term loan obtained by the company as
referred to in notes 6 and 7. Total capital employed includes equity as shown in the balance sheet, plus total long
term borrowings.
The gearing ratio for the year is 79% (2009: 63%). This increase is due to losses during the year and additions to
long term borrowings during the year.
