DIRECTORS REPORT
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MOST MERCIFUL Dear members:
Assalam-o-Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors I feel great pleasure in presenting to you the un-audited financial statements of your company for the period ended December 31, 2013. Segment wise position is briefed as under:
SUGAR DIVISION:
Crushing of sugarcane was commenced on November 1st 2013 as against December 01, 2012 and up to the close of the period i.e. December 31, 2013 the mill crushed 409,621 metric tons of cane as against 253,507 metric tons crushed in the preceding year. Sugar produced was 34,290 metric tons as against 22,370 metric tons produced last year. Crushing was commenced earlier than last year to comply with the directives of the Government. As a result thereof the recovery rate reduced to 8.705 percent as against 9.369 percent achieved last period. It is expected that the recovery percentage would improve during the remaining period of crushing but cannot be quantified at this stage. Molasses produced was 15,885 metric tons as against 10,510 metric tons produced in the same period of last year.
During the period under consideration your company suffered a loss of Rs.158.068 million as against a loss of Rs.72.217 million during the last period. As you are aware that the sugar price in the domestic and international markets is depressed considerably due to excess production during last year and it is expected that the production of sugar during the current season in progress would also be in excess of the requirements of the country.
For the current crushing season the Government of Sindh has maintained the price of the sugarcane at Rs.172 per 40 kg of cane as minimum support price. Government exercises control over the price of raw material to protect the interest of the growers, which is highly appreciated, but similar control must have been exercised over the price of sugar to have a win win position of all stakeholders but is left open to the market forces i.e. demand and supply. Under the present circumstances it appears the mills would not be in a position to turn the bottom line into a positive figure unless the price of product increases in the local market. In case the recovery percentage does not increase in the remaining period of crushing the production cost of the product would increase as the sugarcane cost represents about 75 percent of the total cost of production in addition to other variable and fixed costs that has to be absorbed by the lower volume of sugar produced. Due to the above reasons the expectations of significant improvements in the bottom line are negligible.
MDF BOARD DIVISION:
During the period under consideration the MDF Board Division produced 10,176 cubic meters of Lasani Board in various thicknesses as against 14,385 cubic meters produced last year. The production is lower than the last year's output as there was lower demand of one of the product which has now been enhanced and expected that the shortfall would be made good during the remaining period of the year. During the crushing season there is no shortage of power as internal generation is not only sufficient to meet the requirements of sugar and MDF Division but excess power generated is also supplied to WAPDA. The quality and quantity of the board produced has improved and expected to improve further during the remaining period of crushing.
POWER GENERATION DIVISION:
Power generation takes up its full momentum when supply of sugarcane is achieved at full capacity.
However the excess power generated during the period was also supplied to WAPDA and it is expected that during the remaining period of crushing the position would further improve.
The Board of Directors also wish to place on record their appreciation for the dedication and commitment of all officers, employees and workers who contributed their services to sustain all operations of the company.
