1ST QUARTERLY REPORT SEPTEMBER 2024



DIRECTORS' REVIEW Dear Shareholders,

The Directors of your company are pleased to present the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the company for the three months' ended September 30, 2024.

Operational overview

During the period, sales revenue remained steady at PKR 223 million, marking a 8I % decrease compared to the same period last year. Concurrently, the cost of sales saw a 78% reduction. This decline can be primarily attributed to a negative volume variance stemming from the unavailability of raw materials, necessitating production lay-offs. Other contributing factors to the decreased sales include unfavorable market conditions, such as the presence of low valued tinplate due to misuse of sales tax exemptions in the FATA/PATA region,

The persistently high financial costs, which have decreased by 4I% compared to the previous year, continue to significantly impact profitability despite the decrease. During this period, the Siddiqsons Group injected funds to pay off the bank's long-term liabilities.

Net Result

The loss after taxation amounted to Rs.I3I million, compared with a loss of Rs. 99 million in the corresponding period

Earnings per share

The losses per share stood at Re. (0.58), whereas loss per share were also Rs. (0.43) in the corresponding period

Market Overview

The market during the quarter remained steady and inflow of imported tinplate at dumped prices effected the sales activity of your company. Pakistan current economic indicators are still unfavorable with no change in policy rates and absence of any formal economic revival plan. The utilization of Galvalume-a zinc/aluminum coated steel sheet-in food packaging, despite its associated health risks. Efforts have been made to address this concern with relevant government agencies.

Future Outlooks

Looking forward, the management of your company has secured the availability of raw material for the entire quarter, and we expect that it will improve the operational position of the company.

We are actively exploring potential end users in US & European markets as it is inevitable for the long-term viability of the company.

The imposition of the levy was initially challenged by the Company along with other affectees, in the High Court of Sindh, and the Court was pleased to grant an interim injunction, vide Order dated May 3I, 20II, to the effect that for every consignment cleared after December 28, 2006, 50% of the value of infrastructure fee should be paid in cash and a bank guarantee for the remaining amount should be deposited with the Court until the final order is passed. However, as a matter of prudence, in 202I the Company has paid 50% of the value of infrastructure fee to the concerned department and recorded liability for the remaining amount which is supported by a bank guarantee.

l8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS l8.l CONTINGENCIES l8.l.l The Company imports Tin Mill Black Plate / CRC coils from different countries for producing Tin Plate for exportation under manufacturing bond facility and local supply for home consumption on payment of leviable duty and taxes. The imported materials are warehoused in the manufacturing bond without payment of duty and taxes for in-house consumption for producing of exportable products. The Company is availing the manufacturing bond facility since 20II, huge quantity of Tin Plate produced by the Company was exported, adding considerable forex to the national exchequer. However, to process the renewal of the manufacturing bond warehousing license, a team of Regulatory Collectorate MCC-Gawadar, Camp office, Customs House, Gaddani, visited the bonded warehouse for stock taking and reconciliation of imports vis-à-vis exports documentation and records. Based on a allegedly reconciliation audit conducted by the regulatory Collectorate, a purported shortage of I055 MT of the imported materials i.e. CRC / Tin Mill Black Plate was arbitrarily pointed out despite the fact that the aforesaid quantity was fully accounted for and earlier custom annual audit reports didnot point out such discrepancy.

During the course of quasi-judicial proceedings before the learned Adjudication Authority, all the charges levelled in the Show Cause Notice were duly rebutted through submission of detailed written reply and verbal representation before the learned Adjudicating Authority, based on misreading and non-reading of evidence adduced by the Petitioner i.e. Gaddani Collectorate, the Adjudication Authority, passed the Order-in-Original No. 334 / 20I9 dated November 7, 20I9, for recovery of purported evaded amount of duty and taxes amounting to Rs. 64,I92,547 on

purported removal of I055 MT of CRC / Tin Mill Black Plate from Manufacturing Bond. While being aggrieved of the aforesaid Order-in-Original No. 334 / 20I9, the Company preferred an appeal bearing No. G-I298 / 20I9 on November II, 20I9, under section I94A of the Customs Act, I969, before the learned Customs Appellate Tribunal, Karachi. However, no decision was taken by the Tribunal, since it was non-functional. Pending the appeal, before the learned Customs Appellate Tribunal, Karachi, the Petitioner also moved the Hon'ble High Court of Sindh, at Karachi vide Constitutional Petition No. D-7820 / 20I9, assailing the demand notice for recovery of purported evaded amount of duty and taxes amounting to Rs 64,I92,547 issued in pursuance of Order-in-Original No. 334 / 20I9. The Hon'ble High Court of Sindh, vide interim Order dated December 5, 20I9, directed the Respondent not to enforce recovery of impugned Demand Notice which is subject matter of appeal pending before the Customs Appellate Tribunal, Karachi, till next date of hearing. However, after hearing the parties at length, the Hon'ble High Court of Sindh, at Karachi vide order dated December I9, 20I9 disposed of the above petition, with the directions to the Respondents not to enforce recovery of impugned Demand Notice, being the subject matter of appeal, and further directed the Petitioner to file urgent application before the concerned bench of Customs Appellate Tribunal, Karachi. The Tribunal has stayed the recovery and the case is pending adjudication with the Tribunal. Subsequent to the year end, the Tribunal has given the decision uphelding the adjudication order. The Comapny has filed rectification and amendments against the judgement dated March I8, 2024 on May 29, 2024 before the tribunal. and has requested for urgent hearing. The rectification request has not come up for hearing till today and we are hopeful that the rectification expected shall clear the arbitrary audit issue, raised without any basis.

In midst of the above legal battle, the Collector, Gaddani, had cancelled the manufacturing bond license of the Company. However, the Chief Collector has subsequently restored the manufacturing Bond status.

Keeping in view the fact that the restoration has been granted, the Management is expecting a favourable decision, therefore no provision is made in these financial statements.

l8.l.2 In April 20I8, the Company signed a contract with M/s. New Metallurgy Hi-Tech Group Co. Ltd. (the Supplier) of about RMB I23.30 million, for setting up a Cold Rolling Mills Complex and Acid Regeneration Plant in Hub, Baluchistan. As per the contract, the shipment of Plant and Machinery was required to be completed by April 30, 2020 and the Cold Rolled Coil Unit had to start production by December, 2020.

The Company has already invested more than Rs. 2,000 million on Land, Building, Infrastructure, Plant and machinery and civil construction of site including foundations duly completed as per specific drawings given by the Supplier, for laying Machinery. The Company has also paid 33% advance for design, engineering and shipment of

the plant, amounting to RMB 40 million. As stipulated under the contract, majority of the component of plant, machinery and equipment had to be shipped in February 2020 and the remaining consignments by April 30, 2020. However, the Supplier failed to ship within the stipulated timeline. Meanwhile, the Bank Guarantees issued by the Supplier were expiring in April 2020. The Supplier besides delaying shipment did not extend Bank Guarantees beyond its expiry date in April 2020. These bank guarantees covered the consignments to be shipped, by April 30, 2020, since the consignments were not shipped, it left no option for the Company but to call for the encashment of Bank Guarantees to secure itself.

On August 27, 2020 the Supplier filed a case in Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and appointed the arbitrator, contesting the case of encashment of above described Bank Guarantees. The Supplier claimed the right to retain the payments already made as an advance by the Company amounting to RMB I9.52 million. The Supplier also claimed for the damages and losses of RMB 35.86 million.

The Company also appointed the arbitrator and a lawyer to defend its position. The Company counter claimed USD I2.65 million with a detailed response on September I7, 2020 against the failure to make the delivery of goods within agreed timeline by the Supplier.

On October 06, 2022, Singapore International Arbitration Council (SIAC) has awarded that the Company wrongfully repudiated the Contracts by, inter alia, encashing the Bank Guarantees and attempted to cancel the letter of credit (LC). The SIAC had further declared that the Company is liable to pay Rs. I,640.39 million as detailed below and the supplier has right to forfeit advance amounting to Rs.408.40 million made by the Company

I. CNY (Chinese Yuan) 35,799,296 (amounting to Rs. I,37I million) in damages as compensation for losses suffered by the Supplier (A);

  1. legal costs and disbursements being SGD (Singaporean Dollar) 40,0I7.74 (amounting to Rs. 8.2I million) and CNY 3,III,489 (amounting to Rs. I2I.35 million) (B) to Supplier; and

  2. interest of 0.9446% per annum compounded monthly; on 'I' (from August 28, 2020) and on '2' (from the date of the award); until the same are fully and finally paid which is around CNY I.3 million (amounting to Rs. 53.62 Million)

  3. 50% of the costs of arbitration, amounting to SGD 296,852.28 (Rs. 60.89 million).

Furthermore, SIAC declared that the Supplier has right to retain the payments in the amount of CNY I9,5I5,577 made by the Company under the CRM Contract as disclosed in note 6 of the financial statements.
