SUGAR DIVISION | |||
Salient features of production and Financial Statements are as under:
:
During the period under review, the sugarcane crop was not good as it was in the corresponding period of last year. The mill crushed 471,495 metric tons of cane against 654,604 metric tons crushed last year. Sugar produced was 47,953 metric tons as against 71,905 metric tons produced last year. During the current period, the production of sugar is substantially lower than last year by 23,952 metric tons or 33.31 percent. The decrease in the crushing volume and production of sugar was mainly due to the non-availability of raw material in the adjoining area of the mill as required to continue the crushing. Due to lower production of sugar the production cost is increased considerably as the fixed overheads cost is absorbed by lower production volume. The recovery rate also declined from 10.98 percent to 10.20 percent during the current year due to poor condition of crop. The decrease in the recovery rate has also enhanced the cost of production of sugar. The condition of crops in the province was not good due to the scarcity of water through irrigation system and natural rainfall during the year also prolong heat wave season in the province.
2
ETHANOL DIVISION
During the period under consideration, the Ethanol Division produced 34,600 metric tons of ethanol as against 28,734 metric tons produced last year which is higher than produced in the same period of last year. This was due to the timely procurement of raw material. The sales revenue of the ethanol division has also increased from Rs. 8,017.206 million to Rs. 8,662.397 million due to increase in the export volume of ethanol although the price of ethanol declined in the international market. The company exported 33,396 metric tons as against 29,272 metric tons exported last year. It is anticipated that the production during the remaining period of the year would be maintained as compared to the previous year INSHA ALLAH.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The future outlook is still uncertain due to global as well as internal challenges. Globally major economies going toward recessionary trends, lower demands, supply chain disruption are still major factors. The Company's management is well aware of the internal and global challenges and taking all necessary measures to reduce the negative impacts and improve the contribution of ethanol and sugar divisions towards the overall performance of the company.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT AND DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors in their meeting held on May 26, 2025 has declared an interim cash dividend of Rs. 7.00 per share i.e. 70% for the period ended March 31, 2025. These condensed interim financial statements do not include the effect of interim dividend.

Independent Auditor's Review Report
To the member of Shahmurad Sugar Mills Limited
Report on Review of Condensed Interim Financial Statements
INTRODUCTION:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of SHAHMURAD SUGAR MILLS LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 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 and condensed interim statement of cash flows and notes to the condensed interim financial statements for the half year then ended (here-in-after referred to as the "condensed interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim financial statements based on our review.
The figures of the condensed interim statement of profit or loss and condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for quarters ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have not been reviewed, as we were required to review only the cumulative figures for the half year ended March 31, 2025.
SCOPE OF REVIEW:
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of condensed interim financial statements 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.
CONCLUSION:
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting.
The engagement partner of the review resulting in this independent auditor's report is Taswar Hussain.

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017; and
Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017.
Where the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ with the requirements of IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.

10
The figures of the condensed interim statement of profit or loss and the condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not subject to review by the auditor.
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
The material accounting policies and methods of computation followed for the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Due to the seasonal availability of sugarcane, the manufacture of sugar is carried out during the period of availability of sugarcane and costs incurred/accrued up to the reporting date have been accounted for. Accordingly, the costs incurred/accrued after the reporting date will be reported in the subsequent interim and annual financial statements.
Certain new IFRSs and amendments to existing IFRSs, effective for periods beginning on or after October 01, 2024 are either not relevant or do not have material impact on the condensed interim financial statements, and are therefore not disclosed.
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements require management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgements that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events. Judgements and estimates made by the management in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those that were applied to financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The Institute of Chartered Accountant of Pakistan (ICAP) has withdrawn the Technical Release 27 "IAS 12, Income Taxes (Revised 2012)" and issued guidance - "IAS 12 Application Guidance on Accounting for Minimum Taxes and Final Taxes". The said guidance requires certain amounts of tax paid under minimum tax (which is not adjustable against future income tax liability) and final tax regime to be shown separately as a levy instead of showing it in current tax.
Accordingly, the impact has been incorporated in these condensed interim financial statements retrospectively in accordance with the requirement of International Accounting Standard (IAS 8) - 'Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors'. There has been no effect on the condensed interim statement of financial position, condensed interim the statement of changes in equity, condensed interim the statement of cash flows and earning per share as a result of this change.

FAIR VALUES
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
The Company while assessing fair values uses calculation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances using relevant observable data as far as possible and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Fair values are categorized into following three levels based on the input used in the valuation techniques:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be assessed at measurement.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observation market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
Financial assets and liabilities of the Company are either short term in nature or are repriced periodically therefore; their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.
