All other borrowing costs are dealt with profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred.

2.8. IMPAIRMENT

At each balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated.

Recoverable amount is the greater of net selling price and value in use.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.

9. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

CONTINGENCIES

9.1. Under SRO 484(1)/92 dated May 14, 1992 the plant and machinery not being manufactured locally was exempt from customs duty, if imported before June 30, 1995. The Company obtained certificates from the Ministry of Industries and Central Board of Revenue (CBR) that the machinery being imported was not manufactured locally.

In April 1995 the Central Board of Revenue advised the Customs authorities that the local industry was capable of manufacturing some of the equipment being imported by the Company and that exemption from customs duty on such equipment be denied.

The Company filed a writ petition against CBRs instructions before the Peshawar High Court. The Honorable High Court has decided the case in favour of the Company. The Collector of Customs, Karachi has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan against the Order of Peshawar High Court. The case is pending before the Supreme Court.

9.2. The Company was entitled to sales tax exemption on cement produced by it from the date of commissioning to June 30, 2001 vide SROs 580 (1)/91 and 561 (I) /94 dated 27-06-1991 and 9-06-1994 respectively.

In June 1997 the Federal Government withdrew the sales tax from the entire cement industry and deprived the Company from the advantage of its sales tax exemption. Being aggrieved by the denial of the benefit of sales tax exemption, the Company had filed a writ petition in the Peshawar High Court. Subsequently, the sales tax exemption was restored on September 5, 2000.

The writ petition was therefore withdrawn on legal advice but at the same time a suit for compensation was filed in the appropriate court.

9.3. The Company filed suits in 1998 against the supplier of main plant and machinery in the Sindh High Court, Karachi on account of uneconomical operation, short supply of equipment and parts and supply of sub-standard/ defective parts etc.

The suits are pending with the High Court. The total amount of these claims is not determinable in monetary terms at this stage.

9.4. On September 5, 2000, the Government of Pakistan imposed sales tax on cement which resulted in the restoration of statutory sales tax exemption available to the Company up to June 30, 2001.

On September 20, 2000 the Sales Tax Wing, Central Board of Revenue (CBR) issued a letter stating that all dealers/distributors/whole sellers and suppliers of cement are required to be registered irrespective of their purchases from a cement manufacturer whose supplies are taxable or exempt.

It also advised not to supply cement to any unregistered dealer/distributor/whole seller and supplier of cement. Being aggrieved from this letter, the Company filed a writ petition in the Peshawar High Court.

The High Court has decided the case and declared that the Company's dealers/distributors/whole sellers are not liable to be registered up to the statutory exemption period of the Company. The CBR has filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the case is pending before it.

9.5. The Income Tax department levied tax of Rs. 85 million on certain pre- operational earnings for assessment years 1994-95, 1995-96 and 1996-97. The CIT (Appeal) has reversed the order in favour of the Company.

The Tax Department filed appeal before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal who deleted the order of CIT (Appeal). The Company has now filed appeal in Peshawar High Court against the order of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. The Company expects favourable decision from the High Court, however as a matter of prudence the same has been provided in the accounts.

9.6. The Additional Collector, Customs & Central Excise Peshawar has raised a demand of Rs. 5,530,335/- as differential excise duty on a new brand introduced by the Company. The Company has filed an appeal before the Customs, Excise & Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal against the demand raised by the Additional Collector.

The Tribunal accepted the appeal of the Company and set aside the order of Additional Collector. An appeal has been filed against the order of the Tribunal by Collector of Customs and the matter is pending before the Peshawar High Court. No liability has been accounted for in lieu of the relief granted by the Tribunal.

9.7. Dispute with a civil contractor is under arbitration. The amount is not ascertainable at this stage.

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED DISCLOSURES

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counter parties failed completely to perform as contracted. The Company manages credit risk by limiting significant exposure to any individual customers, by obtaining advance against sales and does not have significant exposure to any individual customer.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will effect the value of financial instruments. The Company is not materially exposed to interest rate risk. The rate of financing and their maturity period has been disclosed in the relevant notes.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk reflects an enterprises inability in raising fund to meet commitments. The Company's management closely monitors the Company's liquidity and cash flow position.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

Foreign currency risk arises mainly due to conversion of foreign currency assets and liabilities into local currency. The Company is not materially exposed to foreign currency risk on foreign currency assets and liabilities.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in an arms length transaction. As at June 30, 2004 the fair value of all financial instruments is based on the valuation methodology outlined below:

LONG TERM DEPOSITS

Long term deposits do not carry any rate of return. The fair value has been taken at book value as it is not considered materially different from the prevailing market value. These deposits are not readily exchangeable.

NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

For all non-current liabilities, the fair values have been taken at book values as these are not considered materially different based on the current market rate of return and repricing profile of similar non-current liabilities.

OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of all other financial instruments are considered to approximate their book values as they are short term in nature.

The analysis of yield markup rate is as under:
