DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Directors of your Company take pleasure in presenting the Company’s 34th Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 together with the Auditors’ Report thereon.
FINANCIAL INDICATORS
The financial results of your company for the year ended 30 September 2025 are summarized as follows:
For the year ended 30 September 2025 (Rupees) | ||
2025 | 2024 | |
Net Sales | - | - |
Gross Profit/ (Loss) | (300,282,852) | (348,552,182) |
Net Profit / (Loss) before tax | (315,644,611) | (370,452,717) |
Net Profit (Loss) after tax | (245,105,056) | (296,846,127) |
Basic Earning | (7.56) | (9.16) |
The financial statements of the Company indicate that during the year, the Company incurred gross loss amounting to Rs.300.283 million accumulated losses amounting to Rs.(5,719.686) million, and its current assets by Rs.162.466 million. Furthermore, there has been no production activity in the company over the past few years. These conditions, alongwith other matters indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company ability to continue as a going concern.
Audit Reports Observations
Management would like to submit that we are in the process of arranging funds to run the mills in the coming season & all audit observations would be resolved once mills are operational.
However our response to the audit observations is as under:
The Company’ plant and machinery, with carrying value of Rs.4.895 billion (representing 84% of total assets.), has been idle since operations ceased on September 30, 2018. Although the last revaluation was conducted in 2023, the company has not performed an annual impairment test or calculated the “value in use” as required by IAS 36. In the absence of current impairment assessment, we were unable to determine the extent of any further write-downs required to reflect the recoverable amount of these assets. We have provided evaluation of assets of company by approved PBA Evaluators, however, auditors of the company did not accepted the same. When the mills are operational this issue will resolved.
Gratuity Payable Rs.17.728 Million. Actuarial valuation not provided to support this balance. Since unit is not in operation & few employees are working in the organization therefore did not carry out the valuation. Once we are in operations will carry out the valuation.
Since Mills were closed for the last 6-7 years therefore could not pay the sales tax liability. We will pay the same before running the mills and will be on active Tax Payer List before start of coming season.
Alhamdulillah, Sindh Bank Limited and United Bank Limited (formerly Silk Bank Limited) approved rescheduling/ restructuring of unit & we will comply the same. We are in the process of getting approval of Rescheduling/Restricting of loans from National Bank as well & hope to get it done. Regarding PAIR Investment & First national Bank Modaraba we have approached them for settlement as well & hopeful of getting it done.
Trade & other Payables, confirmation letters were circulated to various parties but response was poor. However we are taking up the matter & would try to get response from the parties to confirm the balances.
Regarding unclaimed dividend, will resolve the same, once mills are in operations
Advances, deposits and prepayments mainly consist of Advance Income Tax which will be adjusted once the assessment is finalized.
The company’s stores, spares, and loose tools were not supported by sufficient audit evidence. In the absence of audited stock sheets, valuations reports, and aging analysis, we were unable to verify the physical existence, condition, or potential obsolescence of these items. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these balances were necessary. When the mills are operational this issue will resolved.
The projected financial statements prepared by the management to support its going concern assessment is based on following assumptions:
Projected
2026 | 2027 | 2028 | |
Sugar Cane crushing M.T | 800,000 | 810,000 | 815,000 |
Sugar Cane rate | 425 | 430 | 435 |
Sugar Price per kg | 150 | 155 | 160 |
However, it is believed that considering the mitigating factors set out in the preceding paragraphs, the going concern assumption is appropriate and has, as such, prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.
CHANGES ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
There is no change in the Board of Directors since the last Annual General Meeting.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Management of the company is hopeful of catching the crushing season 2026-27 and optimistic of doing the crushing at its maximum level.
DIVIDEND
As the Company is in the phase of heavy losses, therefore, no dividend is being declared.

The above issues indicate Imitat1ons in the scope of our auditprocedures, preventing us from obtaining sufftcient and appropriate audit evidence to conclude that the financialstatements are free from material misstatement in these areas.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the audit of the Financia( statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are' free from material statements, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high leYel of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs as applicable tn Pakistan will always detect a material misstatement when 1t ex1sts. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered rnaterlat if, individually or in the aggregate, they could sonabiy be expected toinNuemce the economic decisons ofuset taken based on these fJnancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan, we exercise professional Judgment and maintain pfofessional skept1dsm throughout the aud1t. We also:
