FFC has many landmarks to its credit. Since commencement of its commercial
production in mid June 1982 till December 2000, the Company has sold 22.89 million
tons of fertilizers. This includes 17.79 million tons of Sona urea and 0.52 million tons
Sona DAP in the domestic market and 0.39 million tons urea exports to China, Iran,
Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Tanzania. The remaining 4.19
million tons include imported fertilizers i.e. urea, DAP, NP, etc. Presently, it is
marketing over 2 million tons of fertilizers annually and holds 44% share of the urea
market. It has saved the country around US $ 3 billion through import substitution and
contributed almost Rs. 30 billion to the Government by way of taxes, levies, custom
duties, excise duty/ surcharge on gas purchases besides providing employment to
hundreds of individuals.
FFC together with Fauji Foundation from Pakistan and Jordan Phosphate Mines
Company from Jordan sponsored the establishment of a urea/ DAP complex at Port
Qasim, Karachi. FFC-Jordan Fertilizer Company Limited (FJFC) was incorporated in
November 1993 as a public limited company. FFC's shareholding is 30% of the paid up
capital of FJFC. Under an agreement FFC is marketing the entire production of FJFC
under its own brand name Sona.
FFC has progressed well from its inception till to-date. Three projects in a span of less
than 20 years have been set up each incurring over US$ 300 million is a performance
record unparalleled in the country. Building on its foundations the Company is
confident to take on new challenges. FFC's vision for the 21st century is diversification
and establishing projects beyond the territorial limits of the country in collaboration
with world famous international industrial holdings.
The manufacturing facilities, located in Goth Machhi near Sadiqabad in Rahimyar
Khan consist of two ammonia/ urea plants with a designed production capacity of 1.33
million tons of urea based on natural gas from Mari Gas Fields.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


Machi Goth is a village in Sadiqabad, Pakistan.
It is a sparsely populated area. Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC) is located near the
village which derives its name from Machi ("fisherman") & Goth (village). There are
no fishermen living in this village. Machi is the name of the tribe settled in the area.
FFC is operating two plants (named as Plant-1 & Plant-2) located at Goth Machi & one
plant located at Mirpur Mathelo, approximately an hour drive from machi goth. Plant-
1 was comissioned in 1981 with the name plate capacity of 1785MeT Urea/ Day.
While plant-2 was comissioned in 1993 with a name plate capacity of 1925MeT/ day.
So, far both of the plants are working extremely well over the years, the plants have
demonstrated operational excellence which serves as a reference for the related process
technology engineering concerns. Delegations from China, Middle East and Far East
have visited the Plant site to acquire knowledge for their investment decisions.
Product quality is accorded high priority and ISO-9002 certification confirms the
excellent operational and maintenance skills of the employees and their level of
performance.
Great emphasis is placed on safe operations. Many awards of honor from National
Safety Council, U.S.A. reflect strict compliance of plant safety standards.
FFC commenced marketing operations in April 1979 with a pre-production
programmed called the Seeding Programmed. With the commencement of commercial
production in June 1982, FFC launched its product under the brand name "SONA".
Since inception, a growth oriented marketing strategy has been adopted keeping in view
future expansions. FFC operates in all the four provinces of the country and Azad
Kashmir. The marketing area has been divided into 3 sales zones, 11 sales regions and
61 sales districts with a network of over 3,000 well trained dealers. This network is
spread over 1400 locations. Due to seasonality of fertilizer consumption, the Company
has established a network of 120 field warehouses to meet its storage requirements.
Company's sales activities are well supported by planning, distribution and
warehousing, advertising and sales promotion, finance, administrative and farm
agronomic services.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


From the very beginning FFC was able to meet the challenges. It was able to market its
entire production and capture the desired market share. Sona urea was accepted by the
farming community and Sona brand was established as a premium brand. With the
start-up of its plant, the country became not only self sufficient but also surplus in urea.
FFC exported urea to many countries from 1983-86. However, when local demand
again exceeded production in 1986 the country again started importing urea. FFC once
again came forward and put-up another urea manufacturing facility at Goth Machhi to
meet the growing demand. The new plant commenced commercial production in March
1993.
The Government of Pakistan deregulated the trade and prices of phosphatic fertilizers
in Aug 1993. Subsequent to this decision FFC started self imports of these fertilizers
and as a result timely imports were arranged. Farmers were provided quality product in
bags with guaranteed correct weight. This brought a very positive qualitative change in
the phosphatic fertilizer business.
FFC believes in selling a programme rather than just products. To this end, the
Company has adopted a customer oriented strategy by marketing quality products
backed by efficient and effective support services with emphasis on developing the
market through practical and innovative farmer education. Farmer Advisory Service
with well qualified agronomists was established by the Company in 1981, a year before
the commencement of commercial production. This free of cost and on the spot service
to the farmers is provided in the form of crop demonstrations, field days, farmer
meetings, group discussions, farm visits and distribution of technical literature in Urdu/
Sindhi on important crops. The farmers are also provided highly subsidized soil/ water
testing facilities through three laboratories equipped with the state of art equipment and
computerized recommendation systems. The Company pursues an innovative education
oriented advertising policy utilizing electronic/ print media and roadside advertising.
Radio commercials are developed in regional languages.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


FFC has conducted four international seminars on core agricultural issues. Through
these seminars which were attended by various local and foreign luminaries, special
recommendations were developed to address the issues and enhance agri. production.
Fauji Fertilizer Company Ltd. remains committed to continue to play its role in the
development of agriculture in Pakistan by not only supplying high quality fertilizers but
also technical services to the farmers in the years to come for improving agricultural
productivity and increasing their income.

ISO-9002 certification
Another major landmark for Fauji Fertilizer Company is ISO-9002 certification for its
manufacturing division 1st Goth Machhi. Quality in all areas has been a hallmark of the
Company right from the beginning and our product “SONA UREA” has already
established its rightful place in the market.
Therefore to bring their system in line with internationally recognized quality
standards, they decided to go for ISO-9002 certification. To achieve a total quality
management system, FFC surpassed the requirement of ISO-9002 standards by
including all support services like Admission, personnel, Finance Hospital, Schools and
Management Club etc. also in the certification scope. They selected Bureau of Veritas
quality international (BVQI), England, a leading certification agency as our registrar.

The year witnessed exceptional performance at every level . plant operating
efficiencies surprised all previous records with large margins. Cost effective and
professional solution are adopted to address any major potential reliability threats.
Plants reliability improvements projects remained of prime importance and significant
progress has been achieved by addressing major unreliable areas and chronic problems.
System implementation through enforcement of FFC,s operational, maintenance, plant
monitoring, housekeeping and safety practices remained in the lime –light and
deficiencies were overcome utilizing the gap analysis approach.
The continued with selective investments necessary to sustain profitability , improve
operations and maintain its position at the leading fertilizer manufacturer in the
country.

Plants Goth Machhi

Operational performance of the plants 1&2 Goth Machhi was excellent during the year
with a total “SONA” urea production of 1458 thousand tonnes. Plant 1 created a new
record of daily urea production this year.
Annual maintenance turnarounds of both plants were carried out in the first quarter of
2004 and were executed safely and successfully within the stipulated time.
Comprehensive inspection and major overhauls of equipment and machines were
carried out in house . various modification jobs were also executed to improve
operational efficiencies. With on going efforts to improve plant reliability and
performance, maintenance turnarounds are now schedule on bi-annual basis.
The continious decline in natural gas supply pressure from Mari gas field poses a new
challenge with a direct impact on production . general water shortage in the country
with frequent canal closures and declining water fliw in the rivers in the past few years
has also put more strain on our water supply wells. Dedicated booster compressor have
been planned to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2005 to boost gas supply

pressure and further expansion of raw water resources and its optimization is currently
under way to meet water requirements.In our endeavour of self reliance in areas of

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


critical maintenance activities, refurbishment of old bimetallic stripped of plant 3 was
successfully completed in the fabrication shop which made this expensive equipment
operational again at plant 1. detailed engineering of energy revamp project of plant 1
Ammonia unit is under process and commissioning is expected in 2006. this
implantation would result in an energy saving of 0.3 Gcal/ Met ammonia. Utilization of
the safe natural gas would also result in 18 thousand tonnes of additional urea
production.
]evaluation of existing BFW heat exchanger E-211 was carried out for vibration and
leakage estimation. The exchanger has completed its useful life and order has been
placed for a new exchanger with modified design.

Plant Mirpur Mathelo

Taping the potential of our recently acquired plant Mirpur Mathelo has resulted in a
noteworthy efficiency of 125% of name plate capacity with annual production 716
thousand tonnes, 14% in excess of last year output.
We are pleased to report that the company was able to achieve the required “SONA
urea” quality level for”FFC urea” produced by the plant 3, which was formally declared
As “SONA urea” on March 2004. we are confident that benefits will continue to
acquire to the company by providing value added quality products to our customers.
To fulfil our commitment with the GOP for enhanced urea production, annual
maintenance turn around of the plant was deffered to 2006 after careful technical
review of efficiency maintained during tge period of meet the increase in demand.
To meet its commitment to the Govt . FFC has also planned de- bottlenecking of its
plant three for increasing nameplate production capacity to 725 thousand tonnes
annually in a normal year.

Almost all the piping isometrics of Urea Hydrdolyzer projects have been approved and
most of the piping / equipment erection work has been completed. The project is ready

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


for commissioning after turnaround 2006 and will help reduce NH3 contents of effluent
water and provide additional urea production of 17 MTPD. Cooling tower packing
replacement for another two cells shall be completed before the onset of next summer
season and is expected to yield a saving of Rs. 12.50 million per annum through
improved energy efficiency.
Information technology culture was successfully inculcated at the plant in order to
reduce and simplify routine workload and to keep pace with modern technology. the
marks are modern fiber optic network , new inventory management system and
computer training of all employees.

Managerial Policies:

AUDIT PRACTICES

A number of excellent manuals are available for the professional auditor or the member
of a director’s examining committee who wishes to familiarize himself with specific
audit techniques. Good auditing can be said to consist of substantial verification of the
accuracy and completeness of a FFC records and of the safety and efficiency of its
operations. In FFC most direct form of auditing is simple rechecking have a second
person redo what someone else has already done. In addition to this, some direct spot-
checking has an important place in the audit program even where controls are well
developed.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


POLICIES FOR ATTRACTING DEPOSITS
Although management and directors of FFC do have absolute control over the level of
their deposits, they can never the less influence the amount the FFC hold. Because
deposits are so important to the profitable operation of FFC, the FFC tends to compete
aggressively for them.
Among the factors determining the level of deposits in a FFC are some that the FFC
usually cannot affect significantly, some of the leading are monetary and fiscal policy
and the level of general economic activity.

POLICIES REGARDING EMPLOYEES

Some of the policies adopted by the FFC regarding employees and personnel are
as:
RECRUITMENT

The standards set by FFC when it first selects its employee largely determine the
caliber of the staff in the future. The FFC urges the recruitment of several young
MBA’s at competitive salaries.
There is a known need for officer replacements in five or 10 years, it behooves
management to look for prospective employees who are believed at the outset to have
officer potential because of their education, aptitude, interest or previous experience for
clerical personnel, the FFC maintains close relationships with guidance directors of
local high schools and colleges it also encourages employees to bring in their friends
and it see to it that students have opportunities to visit the FFC and head about some of
the advantages of working there.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


The FFC allows summer employment programs to allow college students to see the
challenges of fertilizer careers and are always alert for able and interested people
employed at other companies or in other fields.

TRAINING

The newly hired employee generally starts as a clean state on which nothing has yet
been written. The employee’s attitude towards the FFC and job are shaped by the first
few weeks of experience. In the process of learning the first few simple tasks the
employee grasps the relationship between what he is doing and the work of the
department or the FFC as a whole.

New employees have a fundamental need for a broad idea of their job- in short for
orientation.
As we can say, good training is an art if not a science and should be entrusted only to
those within an organization who have an aptitude for it or who have received special
training in the instruction of others. Thus FFC emphasizes both cases i.e. to challenge
the employees so that they will continue to be interested in FFC and will realize the
need for continued training as their responsibilities become greater.

SALARY (PAY SCALES)


The principal criteria for a well considered salary policy are, first, the relationship of
the FFC salary scale to salaries paid for comparable jobs in the community and the
industry and, second, the relationship of the salary paid to one person to that paid to
others for jobs of comparable difficulty within the FFC.

The salary administration of FFC is reasonable as at many factors contribute towards


the working conditions job security, prestige and opportunity for advancement all enter
into the competitive package.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


FFC provides fringe benefits to or better than those offered in other industries pension
plans, hospitalization, and group life insurance are the rules prevailing in the FFC. A
more effective incentive is a well designed profit sharing plan with benefits that vary
from year to year in direct proportion to the financial success of the FFC operations.

COMMUNICATION
A good deal of verbal interchange takes place in FFC each day. It is a two way street.
The competent officers discuss rather than directs, listens as well as interacts. The FFC
makes the communication channel more effective by staff meeting eventually it is an
extent ion of the conversational or discussion technique but embraces a larger segment
of the organization. Such meetings are regular features of efficiently operated FFC and
take a wide variety of forms, ranging from daily or weekly officers meetings to annual
weekend conferences.

The major portion of communication necessary for the day to day operations of a FFC
consists of simple person to person conversation more complex ideas, however, gain
clarity if they are put in writing. Thus the FFC is talented in the ability to write clearly
which is an invaluable management talent that needs constant practice and
development.

EDUCATION:
FFC focuses on the higher quality of education. The officers employed in the FFC are
mostly graduated from either foreign universities or some of the leading universities in
the country.

MOTIVATION LEVEL
Job design for motivation is another personnel approach that has been increasingly
emphasized in recent years. Job contents, methods and relationships are structured not
only to satisfy technological and organizational requirements but also to accommodate

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


human needs for meaningful and self-fulfilling work. Jobs are being designed to fit the
people who hold them in the hope that greater employee motivation (which is essential
to higher productivity) will result.

Sensitivity training and / or organizational development programs have been used to aid
in the broad development of Top executive talent and teamwork.

RETIREMENT

The FFC does not emphasis on having regular employees. Mostly the employees are
hired on contractual basis, making them feel insecure about their jobs. Therefore most
of the time the employees are interested in finding secure and more appropriate job.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

FFC provides growth opportunities to its employees and officers, as it deals with many
leading institutions.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


Major managerial policies, practices/styles

FFC has the strong management system to run the business. Today FFC is one of the
most successful companies and its all due to its superb managerial policies. There are
many planned policies which are adopted by the company.

Human Resource Policy

FFC has strong human resource policy. The management believes that their employees
are major assets of the company. Just because of this policy the company continues to
benefit from the efforts of its valuable people, who are actually, the strength of FFC
through training and development activities the human resource policies aim at the
improved working conditions all over the organization. The various personnel strategies
can be that the employees are chosen solely on the basis of merit and they are given
monetary rewards and incentives with a view to increasing the commitment and
motivation of the employees. Although the salaries are not really competitive if you
look at the market scenario yet the employees are quite satisfied as they are working in
an excellent environment and enjoying as an employee of a market leader.

Marketing and Sales Policies

Marketing and sales departments serve as backbone in the company. FFC has fully
planned and organized marketing and sale policies. Meetings are held where decisions
are taken for the efficient functioning of the company’s marketing and sales areas
because the company depends a lot on its marketing and sale policies. Marketing
budget is carefully determined and sales people incentives and salaries are reviewed
from time to time. There are certain other essential things about the sales strategies.
Products are sold throughout Pakistan with no change in prices anywhere. In case of
consumer products the freight are born by the company. The customers are offered no

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


discount and also products are sold on cash basis. In case of industrial products freight
are the responsibilities of the customer. Moreover, the cost of change in design is
charged to the customer. Marketing, however, supports all these sales strategies by
product development through the creation of public awareness, promotion and customer
contacts.

Backward Integration Strategy

FFC follows the backward integration to support their business. They try to acquire the
related companies or part of business to give a boost to the business growth.
Financial Policies
FFC has the well established rules for their financial transactions. One of the most
important strategies in this regard is of investment. Before making investment future is
seen rather than the present i.e. investment is made only in the projects, which will
increase the sales in the future.

Customer Relationship

FFC adopts the strong customer relationship policy. They think customer as the king.
They are following 20 – 80 strategy in dealing with the customers.

Internal Strong Relationship

Packages maintain a strong relationship between the departments. All departments are
interrelated. It is one of the main aspects of strategic management that all the various
functions performed in the company by the different departments must

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


haveinterrelation and collaboration if company wants to achieve success. Thus synergy
is given a lot of importance.
FFC has many other policies to run their business. These all contribute to the success to
the success of the FFC.

MANAGERIAL STYLES
Management is process of utilizing material and human resources to accomplish
designated objectives. It involves the organization, direction, coordination and
evaluation of people to achieve these goals. The role of manager is to assemble the best
work team he can obtain and then to provide a supportive motivational environment to
guide that team to accomplish agreed upon objectives. The essence of management is
the activity of working with people to accomplish results. It involves organizing,
motivating, leading, training communicating with and coordinating others.

MANAGING THE ORGANIZATION


The management of the FFC focuses on some of the objectives that it wants to achieve.
The way managers treat and deal with their subordinates in order to accomplish the
multiple objectives of the organization is determined primarily by management system
of beliefs about the nature of man and about the determinants of cooperation in an
organized endeavor.

IMPACT OF MANAGEMENT STYLES ON EMPLOYEES:

MOTIVATION
The term motive implies action to satisfy a need. Motivation can be defined as a
willingness to expend energy to achieve a goal or a reward.
The management styles adopted by the FFC affect greatly, and employees are
motivated in order to enhance their performance and achieve the derived goals.

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


MORALE AND PRODUCTIVITY
The employees of the FFC possess high morale, and thus exhibit high productivity. The
employees are happy and are also productive workers. Job attitudes and morale are
quite positive for two reasons.
Firstly employees gain social satisfaction from interactions at the work place. Working
conditions and supervision good, secondly high morale result from high motivation to
produce. In other words we can say, that management should put its eggs in the basket
that creates a high-motivated work force.
PROMOTION

FFC decisions about promotions are decided upon the basis of merit in one’s present
position and ability and potential to assume the impossibilities of higher level positions.
Sometimes other factors are considered such as length of service, education, training
courses completed, previous work history and the like.

The guiding principles for Recruitment

FFC encourages the recruitment of fresh graduates than experienced once, except for
high managerial posts where experience is must. The management believes in
developing the employees according to the requirements of the organization.

Recruitment and Selection Criteria

FFC has designed a sound but easy method of recruitment. When any department needs
an employee, it sends its requirement to the Human Resource Department, which in
turn advertises the vacancy in the leading newspapers and asks for the qualified people.
In case of the posts requiring some experience, only interview method is used to select
the best candidate.

Finance department are posted by the Book Keeping section at the end of the month.

1) Material Accounting:

The Material Accounting is one of the most important sections of the finance
department. This section deals with the record keeping of all kinds of material,
inventory and assets. This department records the assets at their actual value because
value of an assets falls down due to wear and tear and efflux of time. To continue to
show an asset at

its original cost in the Balance Sheet will be to over-estimate the value of asset. The
Material Accounting department can be further divided into main parts:

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


1) Inventory Control

2) Asset Accounting

1) INVENTORY CONTROL:
An inventory is a stock or store of goods. Firms typically stock hundreds or even
thousands of items in inventory, ranging from small things such as pencils, paper clips,

screws, nuts and bolts to large items such as machines, trucks, construction equipment,
etc. Fauji Fertilizer Company carries supplies of raw materials, purchased parts, spare
parts, tools and other supplies. At the end of six months schedule of every material is
prepared with stock code description. It includes the following items

 Description
 Unit of measurement
 Opening-Quantity Amount
 Receipt-Quantity, Amount
 Consumption-Quantity, amount
 Closing Balance- Quantity Amount

The statements of bags, diesels, petrol’s and gases are prepared monthly.

Material Receiving Report (MRR):


When the suppliers supplies the material at the warehouse the end user

inspects the material for specifications and a report is prepared called “Material

Inspection Report” when the unit manager finds that the end user is satisfied with the

material supplied he prepares “Material Receiving Report”. Then this report is sent to

Material Accounting section of the Finance department along with other supporting

documents.

1) Date

2) Name of supplier

3) Order no.

4) Item code

5) Description

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


6) Unit price

7) Location on warehouse

8) Unit of measure

.Material Issue Voucher (MIV):

The material is issued to plant and other department as per

requirement. The department who needs any material from the warehouse issues a

voucher called “Material Issue Voucher”. That voucher is duly signed by the department

manager. That issued voucher contains three copies. The unit manager at warehouse signs

it and sends one copy en user keeps one copy for warehouse and sends one to the Material

section. The Material section records that how much material has been issued during one

month.

MIV contains the following information:

o Date of issuance

o Quantity

o Unit of measure

o Item code

o Description of items

Stock Movement report(SMR):


At the end of each month the department prepares a “Stock Movement
Report” which tells about the transaction of stock during the month. The report includes
the following items

• Date
• Description
• Item Code
• Quantity
• Unit
• Price
• Debit Value

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


Stock Status Report (SSR):
This report tells the status of stock at the end of each month, quarter and at the end of
each year. This report is then sent to Head Office for further analysis and control
purposes. This report is then sent to Head Office for further analysis and control
purposes. This report is basically prepared by compiling the various closing inventory

reports from the plan which states the opening balance, receipt, usage and closing
inventory. It includes the following items

out and debited where as store account is credited.

Reconciliation of stock/store:

The accounts are reconciled with the balance as per books and as per stock status
report. The difference is due to the computer variance as the computer calculates up to
4 decimal places. The balance in the Stock Status Report is more accurate than the
balance in the books. If the balance in books is less then SSR then respective entries
are passed and the account is reconciled.

Physical Inspection of Inventory:

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


The Material department inspects the inventory in the warehouse. The items in the
books are matched with the items physically present in the warehouse. The items are
identified by the stock codes, which are mentioned on the racks. In case of any
discrepancy, the unit manager of the warehouse is responsible. It may occur due to
unavoidable condition. The loss of item is written off by debiting loss account and
crediting stock account. The inspection report includes the following items

 Class

 Item Code

The Inspection report is checked and signed by the Finance Manager.

Foreign/ Imported Material:

Some times the material is purchased from abroad. Such material includes tools,
machinery, equipment, chemicals, catalysts, vehicles, etc. In this case Letter of Credit
(LC) is opened in the name of the vendor. FFC has bank accounts of Head Office at
Rawalpindi whom pays on the behalf of the company. That transfers amount to the
foreign bank of the vendor. After payment the Head Office sends the debit note to the
Finance department to record the expense.
When the vendor receives the amount, he supplies the goods/ material through ship or
by air. There is a clearing agent of FFC in Karachi who receives the consignment from
the port. He clears the material and pays clearance charges, custom duty and other
expenses. The

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


freight and cost is paid by the Head Office at Rawalpindi. The clearing agent also
arranges transport to transfer the material to Plant site at FFC Goth Machhi.
When the material reaches the warehouse the end user inspects the material for
specifications and a report is prepared called “Material Inspection Report” (MIR).
When the unit manager finds that the end user is satisfied with the material supplied he
prepares “Material Receiving Report” (MRR). Then this report is send to the Material
Accounting Section of the finance department along with other supporting documents.

The accountant at this section records the entry in the inventory control system
prepared in Oracle. The Material section receives all the details of expenses which are
debited to the purchase order and goods in transit account are credited.

2) Assets Accounting:
Assets accounting is the second important part of the material accounting section of the
Finance department. This section maintains the records of all assets either fixed or
current. The actual value of the asset is calculated because the value of every fixed
asset falls with the passage of time due to wear and tear, this fall in the quality or value
of an asset is called “depreciation”. To calculate the depreciation of all assets is the
main function of this section.

What Is Deprecation?
Depreciation means expiration of the cost of the fixed assets concerned during the
period for which accounts are being prepared. In other words it means cost of the fixed
used up in the period. To continue to show an asset at its original cost in will be to
over-estimate the value of any asset. Depreciation, therefore, must be accounted for in
order to present the assets at their proper value.
The amounts debited in the profit and loss account are retained in the business. These
are available for the replacement of assets when its life is over. The factors that cause
depreciation are:

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


1) Wear and tear due to actual use.
2) Efflux of time-mere passage of time will cause a fall in the value of an
Asset even if it is not used.
3) Obsolescence- a new invention or a permanent change in demand may render
the asset uses less.
4) Accidents, and
5) Fall in the market price

Method for providing depreciation:

In FFC straight line method is used for changing depreciation which is charged on
monthly basis. Under this method, a suitable percentage of original cost is written off.
For calculating depreciation, the basic factors are:

o The cost of the asset.


o The estimate residual or scrap value at the end of the life.
o The estimated number of years of its life.

Cost- Estimated scrap value


Estimated life

Material accounting department prepares fixed assets schedule in which the amount of
depreciation as lessened from its cost to arrive at the actual value of an asset. The
column of cost includes the following:
o Opening
o Additions/ Transfers In
o Deletions/ Transfer Out
o Net amount
The column of depreciation includes:

o Opening

funds. The debt equity ratio of the company has been decreasing over the years from 2006 to 2008.

Debt Equity ratio increment is a negative point to management that the more of their business is financed by debts this

will increase their financial charges or interest expense and company’s liquidity and hence decreasing the company’s

profit. The lower the ratio the higher the company’s financing that is provided by the shareholders and larger the

creditors cushion (margin of protection) in the extent of shrinkage of assets values or outright loss.

CONCLUSION:

The Islamia University Of Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Campus


Fertilizer industry occupies an important place in Pakistan’s economy. Pakistan
is basically an agrarian economy. Fertilizer is one of the key inputs used in agricultural
production and is thereby the backbone of agriculture. Agriculture contributes to 23%
of the country’s GDP and accounts for approximately 42% of employment and is the
largest source of foreign exchange earnings by serving as the base sector of the
country’s major industries like textiles.
.
Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFC) is the largest fertilizer manufacturer in
the country with a designed production capacity of 1,887 thousand tonnes of urea
(including the production capacity of Pak Saudi Fertilizer. With the commencement of
commercial production in June 1982, the company started marketing of its own urea
under the brand name "Sona". The company markets not only Sona urea and DAP but
also imported nitrogenous, phosphatic, potassic fertilizers and micronutrients. When
FFC came into the market with its production in June 1982, the other manufacturers.
The Government of Pakistan deregulated the trade and prices of nitrogenous fertilizers
in 1986. FFC met the challenge by capturing the desired market share of urea and in the
process, enhanced the image of its brand name, which has now become the number one
brand in the country.
Fauji Fertilizer Co. Ltd. reported earnings results for the year ended December
31, 2006. For the year, the company reported profit before taxation of PKR 6.985
billion, as compared to PKR 7.214 billion in the year 2005 and reported profit after
taxation of PKR 4.636 billion against PKR 4.897 billion during previous year,
registering earning per share at PKR 9.39 in 2006 versus PKR 9.92 in 2005. The
company reported net sales of PKR 29.950 billion against PKR 25.481 billion a
year earlier. The company also announced the final cash dividend at PKR 3.90 per
share that is 39% for the year ending on December 31, 2006. This was recommended
by the board of directors of the company at their meeting. Final dividend if approved by
the shareholders will be paid/issued to the shareholders whose names appear in the
register of the members on February 22, 2007.

So we can conclude to say that Fauji Fertilizer Company is the asset of our
country because it serves as a major source of earning foreign exchange for the country.
An agri-based country like Pakistan needs such a resource from where the
farmers can get best quality urea for their crops an FFC has served this need very well.
That is the reason the government supports FFC in a very good manner. FFC believes
in selling a programme rather than just a product. For this the company has adopted a
customer oriented strategy, marketing quality products backed up by efficient and
effective support services with emphasis on developing the market through practical
and innovative farmer education.
Financial analysis of FFC show that the performance of FFC is increasing
But FFC need to go for diversification ant integration .consumption of fertilizer is
increasing 5 % per year so to meet the domestic need it is necessary to set up the new
operation and plants in different areas
FFC believes and says that:

Our products give earth the energy to fill


up our lives with green. At FFC we make sure
that we give earth our trust, our zeal, our
faith as much as we can to keep it fertile.
