These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Approved Accounting Standards comprise of such International Accounting Standards as notified under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Wherever the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan differ with the requirements of these Standards, the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or the requirements of the said directives take precedence.
2.2. Significant estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the approved accounting standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and 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 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 estimates are 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 standards that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year includes income taxes, staff retirement benefits, property, plant and equipment, stores, spares and loose tools, stock in trade, provision against doubtful debts which are discussed in their respective policy notes.

=========================================================================================
3. Accounting convention and summary of significant accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment property and available for sale investment which have been measured at fair market value and obligations under certain employee benefits have been measured at present value.
3.1. Staff retirement benefits

Gratuity

The Company maintains an unfunded gratuity scheme for all its eligible employees.

Annual provision for gratuity is made on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Latest valuations were conducted as at June 30, 2006.

The amount recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of defined benefits as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses. The Company uses the corridor approach as defined in IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" for recognising actuarial gains or losses.

Certain actuarial assumptions have been adopted as disclosed in note 6.2 to the financial statements for valuation of present value of defined benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets. Any changes in these assumptions in future years might affect unrecognized gains and losses in those years.
Compensated absences

The Company recognizes provision for compensated absences payable to employees at the time of retirement / termination of service. The provision is determined on the basis of last drawn salary and accumulated leaves at reporting date.
3.2. Taxation

The Company takes into account the current income tax law and decisions taken by appellate authorities. Instances where the Company's view differs from the view taken by the income tax authorities at the assessment stage and where the Company considers that its view on items of material nature is in accordance with the law, the amounts are shown as contingent liabilities.
Current

The Company accounts for current taxation on the basis of taxable income at the current rates of taxation after taking into account tax credits and rebates if any, or half a percent of turnover, whichever is higher in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Deferred

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for tax purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using the rates enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available and credits can be utilised. Deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
3.3. Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company.
3.4. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event if it is probable that an outflow of sources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
3.5. Borrowing cost

Mark up, borrowing cost and other charges on borrowed monies are capitalised upto the date of commissioning of the asset acquired or created out of the proceeds of such borrowings. All other borrowing costs are charged to profit and loss account.
3.6. Property, plant and equipment

These are stated at cost, which includes purchase price, import duties, directly attributable costs and related borrowing costs less accumulated depreciation. Freehold land is stated at cost.

Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred whereas major improvements and modifications are capitalised.

Capital work in progress is stated at cost including where appropriate, related borrowing costs. These costs are transferred to fixed assets as and when assets are available for use.

Depreciation is charged to income applying the reducing balance method except leasehold land and plant and machinery. Plant and machinery is depreciated on straight line method. Leasehold land is amortised over the remaining period of the lease. Rates of depreciation are mentioned in note 10.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is charged on prorated basis from the month in which an asset is acquired or capitalised, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off. Days in excess of fifteen days are considered as full month for the purpose of calculation of depreciation. Previously, full years depreciation was being charged on all assets capitalised during the year while no depreciation was charged on assets in the year of disposal. Such a change has been accounted for prospectively as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with International Accounting Standard 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors".

Had there been no change in the accounting estimate, the depreciation for the year would have been higher by Rs. 355 million with corresponding decrease in carrying value of property, plant and equipment by the same amount. Consequently the earnings per share would have been lower by Rs. 1.45.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are taken to the profit and loss account.

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment on regular basis. Further, the Company reviews the value of the assets for possible impairment on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.
3.7. Investment property

Investment property is stated at its fair value at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses, if any, arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are recognised as profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
3.8. Impairment

The carrying amount of the Company's assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss if any. Impairment losses are recognized as expense in the profit and loss account.
3.9. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on exchange rates prevailing on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account.
3.10. Investments

Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted for impairment, if any, of permanent nature.

Subsidiaries are those enterprises in which the Company directly or indirectly controls, beneficially owns or holds more than 50% of the voting securities or otherwise has power to elect and/or appoint more than 50% of its directors.

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the Company.
Held to maturity investments

Investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity and where the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity. These are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Available for sale investments

These are investments which do not fall under the "investments at fair value through profit or loss" or "held for maturity categories". These are stated at fair values with any resulting gains/losses recognized directly in the equity. The fair value of these investments representing listed equity securities are determined on the basis of closing price quoted on the stock exchange at the balance sheet date.
3.11. Stores, spares and loose tools

These are valued at lower of moving average cost and net realisable value, while items considered obsolete are carried at nil value. Cost comprises purchase price and other costs incurred in bringing the stores and spares at their present location for intended use less recoverable government levies. Net realisable value signifies estimated selling price less costs necessary to be incurred to effect such sale. Items in transit are valued at costs accumulated up to the balance sheet date.

The Company reviews the stores, spares, loose tools and stock in trade on regular basis. Further, the Company reviews the value of the inventory for possible impairment on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of stores and spares and stock in trade with a corresponding affect on the provision.
3.12. Stock in trade

Stocks of raw materials, work in process and finished goods are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value. Cost of work in process and finished goods comprises of direct materials, labour and appropriate manufacturing overheads. Net realisable value signifies estimated selling price less costs necessary to be incurred to effect such sale.
3.13. Trade debts

These are carried at invoice value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

The Company reviews its trade debts from customers to assess the amount of bad debts and provision required there against on annual basis.
3.14. Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales is recorded on despatch of goods to the customers. Return on investments is accounted for on accrual basis. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive such income is established.
3.15. Markup bearing borrowings

Mark-up bearing borrowings are recognized initially at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, mark-up bearing borrowings are stated at original cost less subsequent repayments.
3.16. Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of an instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the Company looses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial asset. Financial liabilities are removed when they are extinguished. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities is taken to profit and loss account.
3.17. Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if the company has a legally enforceable right to setoff the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realized the asset and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
