The 2nd Quarter results paint a similar picture as the previous quarters. Rest assured, the directors of your company have been working on solutions to kickstart the company back into business. In this respect, the founder of the company, Mr Maqsood Ahmad Butt, has shown willingness to inject some of his personal money into operations. We are currently planning on starting trading of fusible interlining, a core product of the company, when that cash injection is made.

Your company expects this transaction to be complete by the 3rd quarter of the current financial year. However, we are still steadfast on making your company profitable again.

Future outlook

We do hope that the new government would bring back some of this lost confidence. As stated before, your Company believes business outlook should start turning positive beginning from the 4th quarter of the current financial year.

Note of Thanks:

The Board would like to extend our sincere gratitude to its valued shareholders, customers and raw materials suppliers whose cooperation, constant support and patronage have enabled us to achieve our desired results.

The Board would also like to express its thanks to the Executives, Staff members and especially the Workers of your Company, who have loyally worked with utmost effort to make this all possible

Independent Practitioner's Review Report

To the members of ARUJ INDUSTRIES LIMITED Report on review of Interim Financial Statements Introduction

We were engaged to review the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of Aruj Industries Limited (the Company) as at December 31, 2025 and the related condensed interim statement of profit or loss, condensed interim statement of comprehensive income, condensed interim statement of changes in equity, condensed interim statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial statements in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review. However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence as a basis for expressing a conclusion on the financial statements

Scope of Review

We were required to conduct our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion

As disclosed in the interim financial statements, the Company continues to incur losses and has accumulated losses resulting in negative equity as at December 31, 2025. Further, the Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. We do not conform with the management assumption of the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.

During the period, the Company did not carry out any significant manufacturing or trading operations. No sufficient appropriate evidence was made available to us regarding management's plans for resumption of operations or improvement in the Company's financial position.

In addition, adequate accounting records and relevant supporting documentation were not maintained or made available for our review. Various balances including trade debts, trade and other payables, balances payable to financial institutions, accrued mark-up, advances and other receivables include long outstanding amounts from prior periods. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence regarding the existence, completeness and valuation of these balances.

Further, no allowance for expected credit losses has been recorded against long-outstanding receivables which appear doubtful of recovery. Inventory balances, where applicable, have not been assessed at the lower of cost and net realizable value in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Disclaimer of Conclusion

Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion. Accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor's report is SALAHUDDIN MAHMOOD, FCA.

The annexed notes form an integral part of these financial statements.

  1. LEGAL STATUS AND OPERATIONS

    Aruj Industries Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in Pakistan on December 31, 1992 under the Repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 (now the Companies Act, 2017), as a Public Company, limited by shares which are quoted on Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited.

In addition, as at the period end, its accumulated losses stand at Rs. 432.265 million (June 30, 2025: Rs. 416.067 million).
