Directors' report to the members

On behalf of the board of directors, we take pleasure in presenting the audited financial statements of the company pertaining to the financial year ended on June 30, 2024.

Period under Review

The following transactions / factors influenced the company's financial position and performance during this period:

  • Revenue increased by Rs. 7.652 million, from Rs. 45.322 million to Rs. 52.974 million, mainly due to increased rental occupancy of our factory premises during the year, although full potential could not be achieved as the rental rates remained depressed amid challenging business sentiment prevailing in the country.
  • Direct cost increased by Rs. 6.717 million largely driven by enhanced minimum wage requirements and necessary repairs and maintenance of our buildings.
  • Preceding year's finance cost of Rs. 83.653 million included loss on modification of terms of directors loans and un-winding of discount thereof amounting to Rs. 79.997 million. This year we successfully repaid loans from associated company resulting in no external borrowings as of year end 2024. Moreover, all directors loans are interest free and repayable at the discretion of the company, hence, classified as equity loans.
  • We experienced a positive change in fair value of the investment property amounting to Rs. 5.010 million (2023: Rs. 86.655 million). The same has been accounted for as change in fair value of investment property.
  • The ongoing political and economic instability, coupled with soaring energy costs, high markup rates, and hyperinflation, significantly impacted our rental business.

Future Strategy and Prospects

The long awaited political and economic stability anticipated after the holding of National elections in Feb 2024 and restoration of the IMF program in Sep 2024 still remains far fetched. While the inflation figures have recently shown a sharp decline, the country's exchange reserves are steadily rising and the Pak Rupee is retaining its value, the persistent country's political polarization remains a critical barrier to attracting both domestic and foreign investment.

Some of our tenants have recently vacated their occupied area. While we are seeing a gradual decline in the bank markup rates, the extraordinary heavy taxation measures introduced in the latest budget have shattered the business confidence, further slowing economic momentum.

We remain hopeful that constructive dialogue will lead to a resolution of political issues, which is vital for restoring stability in our economic landscape. In the meantime, we are actively working to lease the recently vacated areas of our factory buildings, moreover, at higher rates.

Contingencies and commitments

No material changes and commitments affecting the financial position of the Company have occurred between the end of the financial year to which the statement of financial position relates and the date of Directors' Report, except as disclosed in the financial statements.

Outstanding Statutory Dues

There are no outstanding statutory payments on account of taxes, duties, levies and charges which are outstanding as on June 30, 2024 except for those disclosed in the financial statements.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Your company is a responsible corporate citizen and fully recognizes its responsibility towards community, employees and environment.

Gender Pay Gap

At our company male and female employees were working, however, after suspension of our textile operations in 2018 and subsequently sale of all textile machinery, presently we are in the business of renting out our vacant factory buildings and labour colony. According to our business requirements, we have only 28 employees mainly comprising of security guards, electricians and labour having no female employee.

Corporate and Financial Reporting Framework

In order to follow the SECP code of corporate governance, the following statements are given:

Presentation of Financial Statements

The financial statements, prepared by the management of the Company, fairly present its state of affairs, the result of its operations, cash flows and changes in equity.

Books of Accounts

Proper books of accounts have been maintained by the Company.

Accounting Policies

Appropriate accounting policies have been consistently applied in preparation of financial statements and accounting estimates are based on reasonable and prudent judgment.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

International Financial Reporting Standards, as applicable in Pakistan, have been followed in preparation of the financial statements.

Internal Control System

The system of internal control is sound in design and has been effectively implemented and monitored.

Going Concern

Without qualifying their opinion, Company's auditors, in their report, have drawn your attention to note 1.2 to the financial statements, which describes that the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 261.819 million, and its accumulated losses stood at Rs. 762.666 million, whereas, current year after tax loss amounts to Rs. 11.648 million. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements have, however, been prepared on going concern basis on the grounds that the company will be able to achieve satisfactory levels of profitability in the future based on plan drawn up by the management for this purpose and bringing its liabilities to serviceable levels and availability of the adequate working capital from its lenders and sponsors.

To substantiate its going concern assumption the directors had implemented a plan to consolidate the company's position by repaying the banks' borrowings through sponsors' loans and sale of inefficient textile machinery and renting out vacant buildings to generate revenue. In this regard, the company has taken steps mentioned in note 1.2 ( i - v ) to the financial statements.

Presently company is engaged in the business of renting out its covered area and has a potential to generate a substantial revenue. Therefore, there are no significant doubts about company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Corporate Governance

There has been no material departure from the best practices of corporate governance, as detailed in the listing regulations of stock exchanges.
