REVIEW OF THE DIRECTORS 1. The Board of s present their review report along with the un-audited accounts of the Company for the second quarter ended 31 December 2004. 2. The trend of higher demand and stable retention price which started last year, also continued for the second quarter ended 31 December 2004. There was significant rise in domestic demand, however exports registered a slight decline. FCCL performed in line with the industry and our capacity utilization in this quarter surged to 89% (80% domestic and 9% exports) as compared to 81% (68% domestic+13% exports) in the same quarter of last year. The average retention price per ton of cement improved to Rs 3,062 per ton as compared to Rs. 2,643 per ton of same quarter last year. Meanwhile average cost of sales per ton of cement increased from Rs. 1,753 per ton in the corresponding quarter last year to Rs 1,900 per ton mainly because of the rise in coal prices. Gross Profit of the Company increased to Rs. 242.879 Millions (38% of net sales) as compared to Rs. 169.476 Millions (34% of net sales) in the same quarter of last year mainly due to increase in retention price and higher capacity utilization. Concurrently Finance Cost decreased to Rs 49.154 Millions as compared to Rs. 82.194 Millions in same quarter of last year as a result of refinancing of Syndicated Term Finance Agreement (STFA) loans at lower mark up rates and elimination of guarantee fee of multilateral institutions. Thus Company s quarterly profit before taxation and amortization of deferred cost rose from Rs. 78 Millions last year to Rs. 171 Millions this year. 3. Coal plant has been commissioned in October 2004. Now the Company is using 100% coal. The work on capacity enhancement of plant from 3,000 tons per day to 3,700 tons per day of clinker production is progressing smoothly and expected to be completed in June 2005 as per plan. 4 The higher profitability shown by the Company has been possible due to improvement in macro economic situation of the country alongwith various initiatives taken by the Company. The s are of the view that this trend is likely to persist and Fauji Cement will, Insha-Allah, continue to post good results. Lt Gen (Retd) Syed Muhammad Amjad, HI, HI(M) Chairman 2
REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS We have reviewed the annexed balance sheet of Fauji Cement Company Limited as at 31 December 2004, and the related profit and loss account, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity together with the notes forming part thereof (here-in-after referred to as the financial statements ) for the half year ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Auditing applicable to review engagements. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company s personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the annexed financial statements are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan.
