  1. STATUS AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

    1. Dadabhoy Cement Industries Limited (DCIL) was incorporated on 09 August 1979 as a public limited company in Pakistan and is listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited - PSX. Company is a subsidiary of Leo (Pvt.) Limited. The objective of Company is manufacturing and sale of ordinary portland, slag and sulphate resistant cement.

      Geographical Location

      The Company's registered office is situated at Suite # 4, 2nd Floor, Plot no. 28-30 / C, Noor Centre, Khayaban-e-Ittehad, Lane no.12, Phase VII, D.H.A., Karachi.

    2. Going concern assumption

      The Company has accumulated losses at June 30, 2025 amounting to Rs. 782.77 million (2024: Rs. 770.28 million). The company is not operational because it suspended commercial production since financial year 2009 due to which the Company has been facing financial and operational difficulties and was unable to discharge its financial and operational liabilities. The Company had been reporting nil sales since then and is totally dependent on return from investments and the financial support of its directors and associates.

      The management of the Company has prepared these financial statements on going concern basis due to the following reasons:

      1. The management intends to revive the operations of the Company in the cement industry for which the planning is still on the initial stage as on the reporting date.

        Pakistan's domestic cement demand was largely stagnant and experienced decline in prior years, but a surge in exports, offered industry growth. This export growth was driven by global demand and lower international coal prices. Further, the decreased inflation and falling interest rates are expected to improve domestic demand in future

      2. Considering the expected growth in cement demand, the Company is hopeful to achieve its objective, as Government of Pakistan does not allow new companies to undertake cement manufacturing projects, thereby only existing companies can engage in cement manufacturing.

      3. To achieve the objective mentioned in para (a) above, the Company has been corresponding with the prospective investors to attract the investment in the Company.

      Management is confident that the Company would be able to revive its operations in the foreseeable future which will result in improving the overall financial and operational outlook of the Company.

    3. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) vide its order dated October 28, 2019 under clause (m) Of Section 301 read with clause (b) of the Section 304 of the Companies Act, 2017 (under clause (b) of Section 309 read with clause (c) of Section 305 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984) has ordered that the Company is labile to wound up thereby authorizing the Registrar, the Company Registration Office Karachi, to present a petition for winding up of the Company. Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has also issued notice bearing number PSX/N-1385 dated October 29, 2019 in this respect.

      The Company had filed an Appeal under the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (Appellate Bench Procedure) Rules, 2003 against the Order dated October 28, 2019 in which the Company has challenged the Impugned Order.

      The SECP provided a hearing opportunity on March 31, 2021, during which it was decided that the Company would submit the revival plan, along with board approval, to the SECP. On April 16, 2021, the Company submitted the revival plan to the SECP and requested the withdrawal of the impugned order. On March 25, 2024, as per the notice issued by PSX Reference PSX N-267, the impugned order dated October 28, 2019, was set aside.

      These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Accounting and reporting standards applicable in Pakistan comprise of:

      • International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Standards) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017 (Act); and

      • provisions and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017.

        Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ from the IFRSs, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.

    2. Basis of measurement

      These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Further accrual basis of accounting is followed except for cash flow information.

    3. Functional and presentation currency

      Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is also the functional currency of the Company.

    4. Use of estimates and judgments

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the approved accounting standards, as applicable in Pakistan, requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

      The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the 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. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

      Judgments made by management in the application of approved accounting standard as, applicable in Pakistan, that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material judgment in the next year are as follows:

      Advances and other receivables

      Company reviews its advances and other receivables for any provision required for any doubtful balances on an on-going balance. The provision is made while taking into consideration expected recoveries, if any.

      Income taxes

      In making the estimates for income taxes currently payable by the Company, the management looks at the current income tax laws as applicable in Pakistan.

      Investments

      Company has made judgments and assumptions in determining that it has control over subsidiary and significant influence over associates, impairment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and other investees.

      Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting and reporting standards which are effective during the year:

      There are certain amendments and interpretations to the accounting and reporting standards which are mandatory for the Company's annual accounting period which began on July 1, 2024. However, these do not have any material impact on the Company's financial reporting and, therefore, have not been disclosed in these financial statements except for:

      An amendment to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' (IAS-1) was introduced addressing the classification of non-current liabilities subject to covenants. This amendment clarifies that liabilities should be classified as either current or non-current based on the rights available at the end of the reporting period, without consideration of future expectations or events occurring after this date. The amendment also mandates specific disclosures if a liability is classified as non-current but is subject covenants that must be complied with within twelve months of the reporting date.

      clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;

      clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;

      add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cashflows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment,social and governance (ESG) targets); and

      make updates to the disclosures for equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI).

      The management is in process of assessing the impact of above changes.
