Chief Executives Review

It gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report


and review of the performance of your Company for
the financial year ended Dec 31, 2010. By the grace of
Almighty Allah, your Company has continued its journey
on the road to excellence during the year 2010 although
the countrys overall economic situation and business
environment made business growth difficult.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The year 2010 proved to be very challenging for the
economy of Pakistan. In the beginning of the year, the
economy was on track and performed better than in the
previous year. However, the worst flooding ever damaged
about one fourth of the countrys agriculture heartland
and destroyed over three million bales of cotton resulting
in a cumulative loss of about 1.5% to GDP. The severe
energy crisis continued to impact the manufacturing
sector and overall business activities. Consequently, the
countrys economy continued to remain under stress and
according to the State Banks projections will miss three
targets - GDP growth, fiscal deficit and inflation. Despite
better performance of the services sector, GDP growth is
expected between 2 to 3% against growth target of 4.5%.
Higher cost of imports, energy, commodities products and
rising demand significantly contributed to raise the inflation
to 16%. The task of economic recovery is difficult but the
government is making efforts to restore macroeconomic
stability and the confidence of business.

By the grace of Almighty Allah, your Company has made

to improve its net sales by 22% as compared to last year.
The profit after tax improved to Rs.1,838 million against
Rs.1,297 million of last year. Your Company retained its
strong position as the supplier of choice by focusing on
good management practices, commitment to quality and
better marketing mix.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Your Company has been engaged in a long journey during
the last several years to achieve excellence and consistent
growth in its business. A major key to our success has
been continuous development of innovative ingredients
to meet our customers requirements while reducing their
cost. Our product portfolio spans three major categories Industrial, Food and Animal Nutrition & Health Ingredients
which are supplied to multiple industries.

Annual Report

for the year ended December 31, 2010

Our brands are our customers preferred choices in the


respective categories due to your Companys focus on
the changing needs of our customers. We aim to be real
business partners and solution providers to our customers
through strong business relationships and our continued
quest for innovative ways of doing business in order to
expand into new markets and product applications.
INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS
The Company offers a diversified range of products to the
Industrial sector. The growth in this sector is the result
of sharpening our focus on customers needs, exploring
growth opportunities and promoting timely delivery of
our products across the country. Our diversified range of
regular and modified starches under the brand names of
Rafhan , Penetrose , Amisol , Tex-o-Film and Coratex
are consumed in textile weaving and processing as most
favored ingredients. The textile mills sector has shown
recovery from the global demand recession due to progress
in its export base. However, short availability of cotton
coupled with a drastic increase in prices of cotton yarn, the
liquidity crunch and frequent disruptions in electricity and
gas supply affected the operation of downstream textile
units. Paper and paperboard demand in Pakistan has grown
in line with the overall improvement in educational and
industrial consumption. Large investments are being made
by manufacturers in this sector to enhance the domestic
capacities of quality paper and paperboard to meet the
growing demand, which in turn helped to generate demand

for your Companys Q-Tac starches. The corrugation and


paper sack industries also operated at a normal pace to
cover demand for packaging of industrial, electronics and
food products; creating demand for the sale of Tex-o-Film
and Coragum starches and Dextrins.
We consider diversification of our product-line to be a major
factor for growth and viability in the ever changing market
scenario. Over the years, the Company has continued to
focus on innovation in its product line for the industrial
sector to fulfill the modern needs of our customers for new
applications.
FOOD BUSINESS
Despite a challenging market situation, your Company
was successful in growing the food ingredient business
with proactive strategies, service excellence and efforts
to expand our customer base. The Company successfully
continued to deliver supplies of sweeteners to our
customers despite logistical constraints, through our
coordinated supply chain. The major part of demand came
from the export-led sugar confectionery segment for liquid
glucose. However, small and medium confectioners were
impacted by growing inflationary pressure on input costs,
a rise in utilities prices and frequent power breakdowns.
Our food business is characterized by a diversified portfolio
of customers. Our product-line covers a wide range of
products including Globe and Snowflake starches,
|7

Chief Executives Review

Rafhan Liquid Glucose, Cerelose Dextrose Monohydrate,


Rafhan Liquid Caramel and Golden Syrup. Despite adverse
economic factors, demand from major food industries has
shown marginal improvement. Your Company continued as
a trusted supplier to the food segment. Innovative solutions
provided to the food sector have opened the door for other
opportunities. Your Company remains committed to further
expanding its product-lines for different applications in
food products.
ANIMAL NUTRITION AND HEALTH BUSINESS
The Animal Nutrition ingredients include Prairie Gold
and Rafhan Maize Gluten Meals, Buffalo Maize Bran,
Rafhan Maize Germ Cake, Enzose Hydrol and Rafhan
Crude Corn Oil. This segment delivered good performance
because of stable demand from poultry, livestock and
aquaculture segments. The poultry business has shown
strength despite high inflation. Similarly growth in fish
farming and dairy cattle segments continued to drive
demand.

During the past few years, the dairy sector has shown
progress due to the governments incentives to promote
dairy farming to meet a growing demand for milk and milkbased products. Consequently, the use of formula feed
rations has shown an upward trend.
EXPORTS
Your Company continues to align its strategic plans to take
advantage of emerging global trends and opportunities. In
2010, the Company has made continuous efforts to increase
sales by enhancing its presence in the export markets. At
the same time, we remained focused on fresh challenges
and opportunities within and beyond the territorial
limits of the country. We believe that your Company is
well positioned to take advantage of its experience and
diversified product-line to explore regional markets. At the
same time, our people are constantly engaged in assessing
customers needs and market dynamics in export markets
to develop our core competencies.
RAW MATERIAL - MAIZE
For the past 57 years, your Company has won as one of
the most recognized and respected name among agrobased industries in Pakistan. We were the first Company to
conceptualize and execute the unique idea of spring maize
(corn) cultivation. Throughout this long history, the story of
success still continues. Your Company is committed to play
a leading role in agricultural advancement in Pakistan by
providing integrated solutions and agronomical assistance
to the farming community to meet growing maize
consumption demand in the country. We provide to the
farmers expert advice free of cost through our agricultural
experts who are based in the field. Our maize production
and purchase teams proactively play an integral role by
helping farmers to improve crop yield and productivity by
sharing best practices. Through our agricultural efforts,
we have strategically been able to increase the area under
cultivation in addition to improving the crop yields.

Annual Report

for the year ended December 31, 2010

In our quest for professional excellence, your Company is


striving for continuous improvement in the procurement
process to cope with the present challenging economic
environment where strategic procurement is as important
as strategic selling. With growing demand of maize from
different sectors, the need for quality raw material and
enhancement in yields has become all the more important
for a stable supply chain.
The year under review was not good for maize cultivation.
The spring crop was impacted by unfavorable weather at
the time of pollination, and less availability of water for
irrigation due to power load-shedding. The winter crop was
partly damaged in KP and southern Punjab due to floods.
Lower than target production against strong demand from
livestock and other sectors pushed the price of maize to all
time high level during the year 2010.
INVESTMENT
Your Company has always followed its policy to invest into
new technologies and product innovation which is the core
strength of its business. We are well cognizant of market
needs and changing business dynamics to continuously
enhance our competencies to meet customers needs with
higher product standards. Our goal is to provide customized
solutions to our customers to support market growth.
We are determined to optimize our manufacturing capabilities
and to maintain Companys position as one of the leading
ingredient suppliers. Over the years, the plant capacity
has gradually been increased and your Company now
operates from two locations with sufficient manufacturing
capacity to meet market demand. Construction work on
our third plant in the South region is in progress to meet
the growing demand and potential growth in the Southern
markets. Your Company has embarked upon an expansion
program and spent an amount of Rs. 582 million during the
year 2010.

We are confident that continued investment in our people


and technologies would enable us to achieve our strategic
goals. We shall continue to pursue our expansion and
diversification projects in an anticipation to meet the
growing demand from local resources.
OPERATIONS
Our strategies have repeatedly proven effective at achieving
sustained and quality output from our plants. This is a
result of our commitment towards operational efficiency
of manufacturing facilities. Our plants have shown a
solid production performance over the years driven by
continuous production enhancement, process optimization
and efficiency improvements in all plants. We have
equipped our plants with state-of-the-art facilities which
combine competent people, technology and management
system to achieve profitable growth in line with our growth
strategy from year over year.
Multiple steps were taken to recover production losses due
to energy shortage in the country and several energy saving
measures were taken to improve energy optimization.
Processes were reengineered and employees trained for
coordinated efforts and teamwork to enhance productivity.
Extended electricity and gas load-shedding affected
the overall productivity. Each rupee of the investment
was spent in the right place. However, your Company
maintained its momentum to produce according to market
demand and customer needs which helped maintain market
leadership. The management developed a system for close
monitoring of critical and important operations and took
timely versatile measures to reduce production losses and
improve/maintain efficiency of machines.

Company has already implemented ISO certification at all
departments and facilities. During this year, certification
of QMS to its new version ISO-9001:2008 was achieved
and also qualified for Surveillance Audits of EMS, OHSAS
and Halal certification. Recertification was also achieved
without any non conformity for OHSAS 18001. We endeavor
to maintain this record in the future. The working on
implementation of FSMS ISO-22000 has been completed
and certification process is targeted to be completed by
the end of the current year. Furthermore, in-house training
session and seminars on GMP and HACCP implementation
were held, a step forward to achieve ISO-22000:2005 Food
Safety Management System certification. Besides, we
qualified a number of customers audits from multinational
pharmaceutical and food companies and obtained excellent
ranking which clearly indicate Companys commitment to
its quality management systems.

Your Company is committed to providing its employees
with opportunities for professional skills development
and to enhance their personal capabilities to meet the

Your Companys Core Values and Business Conduct


Policies are critical in establishing an ethical and honest
culture. The training program titled PILLARS-VALUES AND
BUSINESS CONDUCT WORKSHOP continued during the
year and a number of sessions were held to promote the
understanding of the Core Values and their compliance
by employees. The training included all employees, at all
levels of the Company.
BUSINESS RISKS, CHALLENGES AND FUTURE
PROSPECTS
The economic outlook for 2011 remains problematic. Some
of the major challenges are: low growth, high inflation,
rising unemployment, continued fiscal indiscipline, surging
food and energy prices, expensive credit to private sector
and low foreign investment. Whereas a sustained flow of
home remittances from overseas Pakistanis happens to
be a consolation, food and oil imports are likely to put
pressure on the balance of payments. The State Bank of
Pakistan has already revised the inflation rate to 16% which
would continue to impact the cost of production. However,
the performance of the commodity producing sectors of
the economy is expected to improve in the months ahead.
Large scale manufacturing growth is expected to turn
positive as strong agri-prices support demand and with
the additional capacities coming on line in some major
industries. As such the macroeconomic imbalances in the
economy are still manageable provided immediate steps
are taken to implement critical structural adjustments.
Pakistans economy has always shown resilience during
unfavorable business environments and we are hopeful
that the initiatives being taken by the Government and the

Chief Executives Review


political parties on the agenda for economic reforms would
be helpful in reviving economic growth.
In view of the prevalent market circumstances, the
performance of consuming segments may remain
depressed which may impact overall demand for our
products
especially
from
downstream
consuming
industries. Inflationary pressure on the cost of maize,
utilities and other overhead will continue, however, it may
be difficult to include the total impact of cost increases in
the prices of our products.
The management of your Company is fully aware of
the challenges ahead and is taking measures to face
those challenges by adopting market driven strategies,
optimizing
manufacturing
capabilities,
striving
for
continued differentiation of our products and services and
continuing our operational excellence and prudent use of
our resources. We are confident that our journey on the
track of progress will continue and we will continue to
create value for all our stakeholders.
CORPORATE DISTINCTIONS
Your Company continued to be recognized for high
performance by receiving the Top 25 Companies of
Pakistan Award from the Karachi Stock Exchange for
the fourteenth year in a row. The same was the case with
the Best Corporate Reports Award from the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of Pakistan and Institute of Cost
& Management Accountants of Pakistan, which your
Company has received for the tenth consecutive year.
The Special Merit Trophy Award from the Federation of
Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry for export of
maize derived products was another landmark. In addition
to the above, your Company also received the following
awards and distinctions during the year:

Notes to the Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 December 2010

The Company and its operations

Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited (the Company) is incorporated in Pakistan and is listed on the Karachi and Lahore
Stock Exchanges. Corn Products International Inc. Chicago, U.S.A, holds majority shares of the Company. The registered office of
the Company is located at Finlay House, I.I. Chundrigar Road, Karachi.

The Company uses maize as the basic raw material to manufacture and sell a number of industrial products, principal ones
being industrial starches, liquid glucose, dextrose, dextrin and gluten meals.

Basis of preparation

2.1

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable
in Pakistan and the requirements of Companies Ordinance, 1984. Approved accounting standards comprise of such
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standard Board and Islamic
Financial Reporting Standards (IFAs) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan as are notified under
the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Wherever, the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or
directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan differ with the requirements of these standards,
the requirements of Companies Ordinance, 1984 or the requirements of the said directives shall prevail.

Standards and amendments to published approved International Financial Reporting Standards not yet
effective

2.2

The following standards, amendments and interpretations of approved accounting standards will be effective for accounting
periods beginning on or after January 01, 2011. These standards are either not relevant to the Companys operations or
are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements other then increase in disclosures in
certain cases:

Amendment to IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation Classification of Rights Issues (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after February 01, 2010). The IASB amended IAS 32 to allow rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed
number of the entitys own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency to be classified as equity instruments
provided the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own
non-derivative equity instruments. This interpretation has no impact on the Companys financial statements.


IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July
01, 2010). This interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for debt for equity swaps. This interpretation has no
impact on Companys financial statements.








IAS 24 - Related Party Disclosures (revised 2009) effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 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.

Amendments to IFRIC 14 IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Assets, Minimum Funding Requirements and their
Interaction (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2011). These amendments remove unintended
consequences arising from the treatment of prepayments where there is a minimum funding requirement. These
amendments result in prepayments of contributions in certain circumstances being recognised as an asset rather than an
expense. This amendment is not likely to have any impact on Companys financial statements.



Improvements to IFRSs 2010 In May 2010, the IASB issued improvements to IFRSs 2010, which comprise of 11
amendments to 7 standards. Effective dates, early application and transitional requirements are addressed on a standard
by standard basis. The majority of amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The
amendments include list of events or transactions that require disclosure in the interim financial statements and fair value
of award credits under the customer loyalty programmes to take into account the amount of discounts or incentives that
otherwise would be offered to customers that have not earned the award credits. Certain of these amendments will result
in increased disclosures in the financial statements.

38 |

Amendments to IFRS 7 - Disclosures Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July
1, 2011). The amendments introduce new disclosure requirements about transfers of financial assets including disclosures
for financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety; and financial assets that are derecognised in their entirety but

Notes to the Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 December 2010

for which the entity retains continuing involvement. This amendment is not likely to have any impact on Companys financial
statements.

Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for recognition of certain employees
retirement benefits at present value.

Summary of significant accounting policies

4.1

Trade debts

Trade debts are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all
outstanding amounts at the year end. Bad debts are written off when identified.

4.2
Revenue recognition

Sale of goods

Revenue represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods sold, net of discounts and sales
tax. Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow
to the Company and the amount of revenue, and the associated cost incurred, or to be incurred, can be measured
reliably.

Revenue from sales is recognized upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to buyers i.e.
dispatch of goods to customers.

Interest
Income from bank deposits and loans is recognized on accrual basis.

Taxation



4.3

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit and loss except to the extent
that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

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 after taking into account tax credits, rebates and exemptions, if any. 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.


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 recognised for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognised 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 utilised.


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) 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.

4.4
Earning per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

Notes to the Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 December 2010

4.5

Operating segments

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a single reportable segment.

96.46% (2009: 97.46%) out of total sales of the Company relates to customers in Pakistan.
All non current assets of the Company as at 31 December 2010 are located in Pakistan.



4.6
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 less any identified impairment loss. Cost in relation to certain property, plant
and equipment signifies historical cost and borrowing costs as referred to in note 4.16.





Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on a straight-line-basis. Rates of depreciation, which are
disclosed in note 5, are designed to write off the cost over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation methods,
residual values and useful lives of the assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end and adjusted if impact on
depreciation is significant.











Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the month in which the asset is acquired or
capitalised, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off.


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 amounts 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 recognised in income currently. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss
is recognised, the depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount
over its estimated useful life.


Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised 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.


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 recognised as an income or expense.

4.7
Intangible assets

4.8

4.9

40 |

The Company reviews the rate of amortization and value of intangible assets for possible impairment on an annual basis.
Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of intangible assets with a corresponding
affect on the amortization charge and impairment.

Capital work-in-progress
Capital work in progress and stores held for capital expenditure are stated at cost less any identified impairment loss
and represents expenditure incurred on property, plant and equipment during the construction and installation. Cost also
includes applicable borrowing costs. Transfers are made to relevant property, plant and equipment category as and when
assets are available for use.

Retirement and termination benefits
Defined contributions scheme

and the employees make equal monthly contributions at the rate of 14% of basic salary including dearness allowance of
employees.

Stores in transit are valued at invoice value including other charges, if any, incurred thereon.

4.12 Stocks in trade

Notes to the Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 December 2010

4.16 Borrowing costs


Borrowing costs incurred on related property, plant and equipment are capitalized till the date of commissioning. All other
borrowing costs are included in the profit and loss of the period on an accrual basis.

4.17 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate of the amount can be made. However, provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect
current best estimate.

4.18 Financial assets and liabilities


Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given
and received respectively. These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost or
cost, as the case may be. The particular measurement methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements
associated with each item.

4.19 Off-setting of financial assets and financial liabilities

A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if the Company has a
legally enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.

4.20 Trade and other payables


Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable cost, if any, and subsequently at amortized
cost using effective interest rate method.

Other amounts payable are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in future for goods and
services.

4.21 Impairment losses


Financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicate that one or more events had a negative effect
on the estimated future cash flow of that asset.


An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as a difference between
its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest
rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair
value.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on a individual basis. The remaining financial assets are
assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

Non financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Companys non-financial assets, other than biological assets, investment property, inventories
and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If
any such indication exists then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have
indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.


An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent
from other assets and groups.

Notes to the Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 December 2010

Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount
of the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis.

4.22 Derivative financial instruments


These are initially recorded at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are re-measured to fair value
at subsequent reporting dates. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative
is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certain
derivatives as cash flow hedges.









The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company
also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used
in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. Derivatives are carried as
assets when fair value is positive and liabilities when the fair value is negative.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are
recognized in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the profit and loss
account.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in profit and loss account in the periods when the hedging items will effect
profit or loss. However, when the forecast hedged transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a liability,
the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the
cost of the asset or liability.

Any gain or loss from change in fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly
to profit and loss account.










4.23 Related party transactions

Transactions with related parties are priced at comparable uncontrolled market price except for the assets sold to
employees under the employees car scheme as approved by the board of directors.

Parties are said to be related if they are able to influence the operating and financial decisions of the Company and vice
versa.

4.24 Dividends

Dividend distribution to the shareholders is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is approved by the shareholders.

The Income Tax Department has charged tax of Rs. (thousands) 81,078 for the assessment year 2001-2002
(financial year ended 30 September 2000) under section 12(9A) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 (Repealed) on the
allegation that the dividend distribution by the Company was less than 40% of its after tax profits. Against this levy,
the Company filed an appeal with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), which was rejected. The Company
preferred an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT (Appeals). The ITAT vide
order dated 21 April 2006 decided the case in favour of the Company and confirmed that levy of tax under section
12(9A) was against the provisions of the law and directed the assessing officer for decision in accordance with the
provisions of amended clause 59 of Part IV, Second Schedule to the repealed Income Tax Ordinance, 1979. The
Income Tax Department has moved to Lahore High Court on 17 October 2006, against the orders of ITAT. The case
has not been fixed for hearing so far.

No provision has been made in these financial statements as according to the management of the Company, it is
probable that this case will be decided in favour of the Company. The legal advisors of the Company have concurred
with the managements view.

32 Financial instruments

The Companys financial liabilities mainly comprise trade and other payables and short term running finances. The main purpose
of financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Companys financial assets which comprise long term loan, trade debts, Loans
and advances, trade deposits and short term prepayments, other receivables and Cash and bank balances.


The company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

- Credit risk

- Liquidity risk

- Market risk


The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Companys risk management framework.
The Board is also responsible for developing and monitoring the Companys risk management policies.


32.1
Credit risk

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counter parties fail completely
to perform as contracted and arise principally from long term loans, trade debts, loans and advances, trade deposits
and short term prepayment and other receivables and cash and bank balances. Out of the total financial assets of
Rs. 462,740 thousand (2009: Rs. 1,085,249 thousand) financial assets which are subject to credit risk amount to
Rs. 442,783 thousand (2009: Rs. 1,011,175 thousand).

To manage exposure to credit risk in respect of trade receivables, management performs credit reviews taking into
account the customers financial position, past experience and other factors. Where considered necessary, advance
payments are obtained from certain parties. Sales made to major customers are secured through security deposits,
bank guarantees and letters of credit. To manage exposure to credit risk, the company applies credit limits to its
customer and obtains advances from certain customers.

All investing transactions are settled / paid for upon delivery. The Companys policy is to enter into financial instrument
contract by following internal guidelines such as approving counterparties and approving credits.

Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities or
have similar economic features that would cause their abilities to meet contractual obligation to be similarly effected
by the changes in economic, political or other conditions. The Company believes that it is not exposed to major
concentration of credit risk.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure before any credit enhancements.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is:

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Companys
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible to always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when due. The Company is not materially exposed to liquidity risk as substantially all obligations / commitments of
the Company are short term in nature and are restricted to the extent of available liquidity. In addition, the Company
has obtained overdraft facilities from various commercial banks to meet any deficit, if required to meet the short term
liquidity commitments.

Sensitivity analysis:
At reporting date, if the PKR had strengthened by 10% against the foreign currencies with all other variables held
constant, before tax profit for the year would have been lower by the amount shown below, mainly as a result of net foreign
exchange gain on translation of foreign debtors, foreign currency bank account and trade and other payables.

Variable rate instruments:

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit and loss account.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased / (increased) pofit for the
year by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates,
remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2009.

The sensitivity analysis prepared is not necessarily indicative of the effects on profit for the year and assets / liabilities

of the Company.

32.3.3

Other price risk

Other price risk is 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). The company is not exposed
to any price risk as there are no financial instruments at the reporting date that are sensitive to price fluctuations.


32.3.4 Fair value of financial instruments

58 |

The carrying values of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values. Fair value is the amount
for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arms length
transaction.

Capital risk management

The Boards policy is to maintain an efficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence
and to sustain the future development of its business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital employed,
which the Company defines as operating income divided by capital employed. The Board of Directors also monitors
the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.



The Companys objectives when managing capital are:

(i)

to safeguard the entitys ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and


(ii)
to provide an adequate return to shareholders.

The Company manages the capital structure in the context of economic conditions and risk characteristics of the
underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may, for example, adjust the
amount of dividends paid to shareholders and issue new shares.


For working capital requirement and capital expenditure, the Company primarily relies substantially on short term borrowings.

judgments, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making
the judgment about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision effects only that period, or in the period of revision and future
periods if revision affects both current and future periods. The areas where various assumptions and estimates are significant to
Companys financial statements or where judgments were exercised in application of accounting policies are as follows:

Taxation- (note 4.3 & 30)

Useful life of depreciable assets- (note 4.6 & 5)

Employees retirement benefits- (note 4.9 & 8)
