We are pleased to share Dawood Hercules Corporation's new identity - our new name and logo. Over the last 44 years, as we have continued to invest in funding the growth of our underlying businesses, we have become much more diverse than what our name (formerly Dawood Hercules Chemicals Limited) suggested.

We are proud of our heritage and reputation and our new identity reflects our abiding commitment to conducting our business as always, with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism. The new logo is congruent with the emerging reality of our present and our transforming vision for the future. We believe businesses should develop intellectual as well as financial capital. Our commitment extends to encouraging sustainable business practices to protect our nation's human, natural and cultural resources. Finally and most importantly, it is our unequivocal belief that ethical business conduct is the only way to secure a better future for us all.

Organizational overview - demerger

During the year, the Company achieved a major milestone as part of its restructuring initiative by the demerger and transfer of its fertilizer operations to its wholly owned subsidiary company DH Fertilizers Limited (DHFL). Consequent to the Scheme of Arrangement under Sections 284 to 288 of the Companies Ordinance 1984, this demerger was approved by the Honorable Lahore High Court on 23rd of July 2011 retrospectively with effect from 1 January 2011. On 12th August 2011 the Company was re-named as Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited (DH Corp) and, in recognition of its new role as an investment holding company, launched its new corporate identity soon thereafter. DH Corp will focus on managing its investments and the new logo of the Company symbolizes this change through its contemporary design while retaining the essentials of its pedigree from its past. The registered office of DH Corp has also been relocated from Lahore to Karachi. The Company continues to own 38.13% of its associated company Engro Corporation Limited (Engro) via a direct shareholding of 33.25% and an indirect 4.88 % shareholding through its subsidiary DH Fertilizers transferred on demerger. Engro, which is itself a holding company, has investments in fertilizer, petrochemicals, chemical terminal, industrial automation, food, commodities trading and power generation businesses. Engro has successfully pursued a business diversification strategy with many of its fast growing businesses turning to profit during this year. Revenues in 2011 exceeded Rs 100 billion for the first time.
Business overview
Pakistan's economy turned in a weak performance during 2011 with subpar growth, persisting inflation, fiscal constraints and vulnerabilities on the balance of payments front. Problems emanating from power shortages and circular debt spilled over into a full blown energy crisis with extensive electricity outages throughout the country, especially during the peak summer months. In addition, a highly damaging shortage of natural gas particularly in the central and northern parts of the country not only exacerbated the electricity crisis, but also adversely impacted the fertilizer sector supplied via the SNGPL network. According to the IMF, Pakistan's highly constrained and unpredictable energy supply contributes a loss of up to 2% of GDP whilst causing significant social unrest and unemployment. From the investment perspective, the other negative feature of the economy was its declining savings and investment rate. This is attributed to a combination of factors which include low business confidence due to security issues and economic uncertainty, a banking industry which is increasingly risk averse, government borrowing which has virtually crowded out private sector borrowing, and infrastructure bottlenecks which are exacerbated by cuts in development spending. Although exports grew significantly in monetary terms, they remained narrowly based on textile related products and the momentum has already begun to falter as cotton prices begin their slide downwards on weakening international demand.

Pic
On the international economic front, the global financial crisis which in 2011 fully enveloped a number of European economies has accelerated the shift of global economic weight from advanced to developing and emerging economies. The Euro zone debt crisis has curtailed growth prospects and its indecisive handling was characterized by repeated bail outs and calls for austerity measures rather than relevant reform. The US economy began to show some signs of self sustaining improvement although the housing market remained weak.
Emerging markets share of global consumption is now estimated at 35% compared to 28% with the US. This trend was supported by rising urban middle classes and growing populations resulting in demand for physical and social infrastructure, better quality food and status bestowing branded goods. However, growth is now more subdued to check inflation and spending is increasingly concentrated on domestic consumption, shifting some trading activity away from the developed countries. International investment and capital flows are expected to decline further as economic recession sets in the major western economies.

Global agriculture
Some of the major agricultural regions in the world were affected by adverse weather conditions in 2011 - droughts in northern China, northwestern part of the EU, the US southern states and Mexico; floods in Australia & Thailand; and cool & wet weather in the US corn-belt. However, weather in the northern hemisphere during the winter cereal planting season remained relatively favorable. In response to tight market conditions and attractive grain prices during 2011, farmers increased the planted area and their crop productivity. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), global cereal output grew by 3.5 - 3.7%, establishing a new record projected at some 2.3 billion metric tons. The 2011 wheat crop has been estimated to be the second largest harvest on record, marginally smaller than in 2008. Soybean and rapeseed production was slightly short by 2% as compared to 2010, but this negative impact is expected to be offset by higher production of other oil crops. Sugar and cotton outputs have increased by approximately 4% and 8%, respectively.

Prices of almost all agricultural commodities (with rice being a notable exception) surged in the second half of 2010 and remained high during the first half of 2011 before contracting in the second half. Current prices are, however, well above those recorded during the pre-food crisis period in 2007/2008

Pakistan agriculture
Along with the rest of the world, Pakistan too is being impacted by climate change and is now considered to be the 16th most vulnerable country to this phenomenon through unpredictable weather patterns, temperature extremes, heavier monsoon flooding and droughts. Along with these uncertainties, agriculture growth in Pakistan has lost significant momentum over the years as it slowed down from 5.4% in the 1980s to 4.4% in the 1990s and 2.7% in the decade of 2000s. Major crops remained the victim of natural calamities as a result of which the agriculture sector in Pakistan recorded modest growth of 1.2 percent in the fiscal year 2010-11. Whilst agricultural incomes in Pakistan have been boosted in the last few years due to the commodity price boom and generous crop support prices, this trend is set to see a reversal beginning in 2012 as international prices retreat and farm inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, diesel and electricity become more expensive. Availability of irrigation water remains the primary source of agricultural performance in Pakistan. During 2010-11, the availability of water in Kharif 2010 was 20 % less than normal and the previous year's Kharif season. Water availability during the Rabi season (for major crops such as wheat), is however, estimated at 34.6 MAF or 38% higher than the comparative period last year. Despite higher water availability for the Rabi season, a 20% reduction in the wheat cultivable area is expected due to the recent floods in Sindh in addition to a shift in cropping pattern in the northern wheat-
cotton belt and drought conditions in the rain fed areas. These factors may restrict wheat production during 2011-12 to below 20 M tes.
Fertilizer market overview

Global
Due to a strong recovery of nitrogen and phosphate based fertilizers' consumption in 2009-10, global fertilizer demand increased by 6.2% to 173 M tes (Million tonnes). The strong growth in that year was triggered by the sharp rebound of economic activity and high agricultural commodity prices. Global Fertilizer Consumption (Mt nutrients) 07/08 08/09 09/10 10/11 Change 11/12 Change 12/13 Change Source : IFA 100.5 98.2 101.9 104.5 2.6% 107.7 3.1% 109.5 1.7% 38.4 33.6 37.4 40.7 8.8% 41.1 1.0% 42.3 3.0% 28.9 23.4 23.6 27.8 17.7% 29.4 5.7% 30.4 3.3% 167.9 155.2 162.9 173.0 6.2% 178.2 3.0% 182.3 2.3%
As a result, global nutrient production capacity grew by 4% and exceeded aggregate demand while actual urea production at 158.9 M tes was 2% higher than in 2010. The fertilizer industry operated at 83% of installed capacity during the year versus 82% in 2010. In response to attractive agricultural commodity prices in 2011 and sound agricultural market fundamentals in 1H 2012, world fertilizer demand is forecast to rise by approximately 3% in 2011-12 to a record high of 178.2 M tes. The largest increases in volume are expected in East Asia (1.4 M tes) South Asia (1.4 M tes) and Latin America (1.3 M tes).
Government policy on gas allocations

Urea prices are intimately connected to the Government's gas allocation to the network based fertilizer industry. To recapitulate, prices rose as a consequence of the Government's reactive response to the unfolding gas crisis in 2011. Firstly, under the influence of politically influential lobbies, the fertilizer industry on the SNGPL network was starved of its basic raw material i.e. natural gas. Prolonged and unplanned gas supply suspension was unprecedented and breached established contractual rights and was operated egregiously against all rational policy, business and commercial norms. Secondly, by intervening directly in making specific and unfair gas allocations to different fertilizer plants on the SNGPL network, the Government stands accused of poor energy governance and opens itself to charges of not providing a level playing field to all its constituents. Thirdly, whilst some companies were subject to gas curtailment and increased prices to forestall economic loss, others continued to receive near normal supplies (those with access to dedicated gas fields) and as is now apparent, made extraordinary windfall gains during the year.
Urea and DAP in Pakistan

Total urea production in 2011 was restricted to 4.89 M tes or 68% of demonstrated production capacity. The lower production is attributed primarily to severe gas curtailment on the Sui based network plants that together equate to 41% of total production capacity in the country. In stark contrast, the Mari gas field based plants produced 3.7 M tes (89% of demonstrated capacity) whilst those fed by the SNGPL network just 0.7 M tes (31% of capacity) and the single unit on the SSGC network, 0.4 M tes (67% of capacity). Since total urea demand exceeded aggregate production in the country, not only was the government forced to import 1 M tes of urea, but the price per bag increased from Rs 830 in Dec 2010 to Rs 1,480 in Dec 2011. For the second consecutive year, urea off take declined in 2011 by 3% to 5.9 M tes mainly due to the high price, reduction in demand due to the floods in Sindh and lower average prices of agricultural produce. The highest off take of urea at 6.5 M tes was recorded in 2009. Domestic production of DAP was 0.57 M tes (88% of installed capacity) while 0.66 M tes was imported during 2011, which represented a decline of around 15% versus 2010, again mainly due to higher prices in the international market, floods during the Kharif season and reduction in area under wheat cultivation. The highest ever DAP sales volume of 1.8 Mt was achieved in 2009. Around 60% of DAP is consumed in Rabi and 40% in Kharif.

Financial performance
Fertilizer
In this environment of feast and famine, DHFL has been a victim of a manifestly discriminatory and anticompetitive gas allocation by SNGPL in 2011. DHFL's urea production was severely constrained due to suspension of gas supply for a total of 197 days during the year (the highest for any urea plant) compounded by curtailment of gas supply during the rest of the year. As a result, only 199,900 tes of urea was manufactured as compared to 456,120 tes for the similar period last year. Further due to unplanned gas suspension, the DHFL plant, designed for continuous operation, had to be shut down and restarted a number of times during the year resulting in conversion inefficiencies adding considerably to production costs. Frequent gas stoppages at short notice are also a potential process safety hazard but were handled with due care by DHFL's competent plant operations team. Fertilizer sales volume at 207,239 tes was 53% lower as compared to last year. Very concerted efforts were made to contain fixed costs, reducing these by 31% during the year against the comparable figure in the previous year. The consolidated profits were impacted by impairment in the value of DHFL's investment in SNGPL. A summary of operating results of the Company for the year 2011 along with comparatives for the year 2010 is as under:

Integrated Energy Model study sponsored by the Asian Development Bank for the Planning Commission) and should be provided a stable and predictable supply of gas in order to make the most efficient and productive use of this depleting resource, will inevitably make our industry hostage to Government patronage.
Urea demand and prices

Urea prices saw the historically largest single year increase during 2011 rising 78% from Rs 830 to Rs 1480 per bag, and, following the imposition of the Gas Development Surcharge on feed gas increasing prices by 193% at the beginning of this year, the current market price has shot up even further to around Rs 1700 per bag. The Government has recently announced an increase in the price of imported urea to Rs 1550 per bag. Farmers have therefore to contend with a higher urea price benchmark for both local and imported product and the lower off take is an indicator of an increasingly stressed agricultural economy. In comparison, urea retails at the equivalent of Rs 500 per bag in India where it is heavily subsidized to benefit farmers in line with policy in most other developing economies. Hence we foresee a softening of the urea market and further slowdown in the country's agricultural growth momentum, and, unless we see a change in the Government's policy, a threat to long standing efforts to preserve food security due to changing economics of different crop choices. We maintain that high priced imports are not the sustainable solution to the problem and urea prices can be brought down to more affordable levels if all the domestic urea manufacturers are accorded priority as per 2005 Gas Policy and provided gas on a reliable and equitable basis.
Related party transactions

In order to comply with the requirements of Listing Regulations, the Company presented all related party transactions before the Audit Committee and the Board for their review and approval, respectively.
Business risks and future outlook

DH Corp has embarked on a new strategic journey as reflected in its new Mission Statement. Whilst it is now set up as an investment holding company, its future profitability has a very strong fertilizer industry orientation and is fundamentally linked to energy and gas supplies. We therefore begin with a review of the gas supply scenario in 2012.
Domestic gas supply and demand

While it is expected that about 150 MMCFD gas will be added into the SNGPL system from some northern fields, with present production of 475 MMCFD going up to 625 MMCFD during 2012, about 100 MMCFD of this addition is likely to be offset by the annual depletion of Sui and Sawan fields in the southern parts of the country. On the other hand, additional demand of around 55 - 60 MMCFD of gas will be created in 2012 on account of new connections and growth in CNG usage. The net shortfall, on average day load basis, is expected to be around 200 - 250 MMCFD, which would mean very little change in the demand/supply deficit from 2011. It is thus imperative for the government to ensure equitable distribution of gas amongst all the affected fertilizer producers and to work collaboratively with the industry to forge a long term solution to this imbroglio. Failure by the Government to recognize that the fertilizer industry makes the greatest value addition (as now confirmed by the
46
Annual Report 2011
DH Fertilizers
In view of the discriminatory treatment in the matter of gas supply to DHFL during 2011, the company has been compelled to opt for legal recourse. It has consequently filed a writ petition in the Honorable Lahore High Court to restrain SNGPL from making any further discriminatory gas supplies to comparably placed fertilizer plants on its network (Pak Arab Fertilizer, Agritech) to the detriment of DHFL and to make up any shortfalls in supply parity during 2011 and to otherwise discharge its contracted supply obligations under the established Natural Gas Allocation and Management Policy, 2005. The Writ Petition was heard on 13th February 2012 and the Court was pleased to grant interim relief by directing that when supplies are resumed, respondents SNGPL and the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources will ensure that gas is provided strictly in accordance with the above policy and without any taint of discrimination. Whilst the management of DHFL will continue to make hectic efforts to secure gas, we anticipate that urea production in 2012 will again be a
constrained by the amount of gas that is made available to the industry and to that extent the Government has the sole responsibility of acting as the collective and selective arbiter of the fertilizer industry's profits or losses. Other than our urea business, we will continue to explore other opportunities and in particular to retain our position as a relevant player in the DAP market, based on imported product.
Long term investment

Prospects for DH Corp's long term investment in Engro continue to remain bright despite the continued suspension of gas to its new world scale Enven plant. Whilst this is a matter of grave concern as the price of Engro's share dipped to Rs 92.7 per share at the year-end date versus cost to the Company of Rs 128 per share, management remains confident that Engro has a very strong legal and moral case and it will succeed in convincing the Government to provide a viable solution despite the challenging circumstances. As a result of management's assessment of Engro's future cash flows and expected dividend payouts, no impairment

Review Report to the Members on Statement of Compliance with Best Practices of Code of Corporate Governance
We have reviewed the Statement of Compliance with the best practices contained in the Code of Corporate Governance prepared by the Board of Directors of Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited ("the Company") (Formerly Dawood Hercules Chemicals Limited) to comply with the Listing Regulations of Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore Stock Exchanges. The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance is that of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to review, to the extent where such compliance can be objectively verified, whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the Company's compliance with the provisions of the Code of Corporate Governance and report if it does not. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company personnel and review of various documents prepared by the Company to comply with the Code. As part of our audit of financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We have not carried out any special review of the internal control system to enable us to express an opinion as to whether the Board's statement on internal control covers all controls and the effectiveness of such internal controls. Further, Sub-Regulation (xiii a) of the Listing Regulation No. 35 (previously Regulation No. 37) notified by The Karachi Stock Exchange (Guarantee) Limited vide circular KSE/N-269 dated 19 January 2009 requires the Company to place before the Board of Directors for their consideration and approval related party transactions distinguishing between transaction carried out on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions and the transactions which are not executed at arm's length price recording proper justification for using such alternate pricing mechanism. Further, all such transactions are also required to be separately placed before the audit committee. We are only required and have ensured compliance of requirement to the extent of approval of related party transactions by the Board of Directors and placement of such transactions before the audit committee. We have not carried out any procedures to determine whether the related party transactions were undertaken at arm's length price. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance does not appropriately reflect the Company's compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in the Code of Corporate Governance as applicable to the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2011 1 1.1 Legal status and nature of business Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited (Formely Dawood Hercules Chemicals Limited) is a public limited company (the 'Company'). It was incorporated in Pakistan under the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges. The principal activity of the Company, subsequent to the separation of Fertilizer Undertaking (note 1.2), is to manage investments in its subsidiary and associated company. During the year, the registered office of the Company has been changed from the province of Punjab to the province of Sindh in June 2011 and is now situated at Dawood Center, M.T. Khan Road, Karachi. The Board of Directors in their meeting on 16 June 2010 decided to divide the Company into two companies by separating its Fertilizer Undertaking from the rest of the undertaking, that is to be retained in the Company (Retained Undertaking). In this regard a wholly owned subsidiary named DH Fertilizers Limited (subsidiary company) was incorporated on 02 August 2010. The division was effected on 01 January 2011 (the Effective Date) through a Scheme of Arrangement (the 'Scheme') under Section 284 to 288 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984,which was approved by the Honourable Lahore High Court on 23 July 2011, whereby: (a) the fertilizer undertaking has been transferred and vested in DH Fertilizers Limited against the issuance of ordinary shares of DH Fertilizers Limited, as summarised in note 1.4; and the retention of Retained Undertaking in the Company along with the change of name of Company to Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited. Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited henceforth will function as a Holding Company to oversee the business of new fertilizer subsidiary.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result 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. Revision to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision effects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The areas where various assumptions and estimates are significant to Company's financial statements or where judgments were exercised in application of accounting policies are: 4 retirement and other benefits residual value and useful life of depreciable assets provision for taxation provisions and contingencies Note 4.2 4.3 4.6 4.13

Accumulated Compensated absences The Company provides annually for the expected cost of accumulated absences. All the employees are entitled to earned leaves and unavailed leaves in a year are accumulated and encashed, subject to a maximum cap on the number of days that can be encashed, at the time of cessation of employment either due to retirement, death in service, withdrawal or early retirement. Provisions are made annually to cover the obligation for accumulating compensated absences based on actuarial valuation and are charged to profit and loss. The most recent valuation was carried out on 31 December 2011 using the "Projected Unit Credit Method".

Operating Fixed Assets
4.3.1 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Freehold land is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss. The Company provides depreciation under the "straight line method" so as to write off the historical cost of the asset over its estimated useful life at the following rates:

69

For the year ended 31 December 2011 Buildings on freehold land Railway siding Plant and machinery Furniture Fittings and equipment Motor vehicles Data processing equipment Catalysts Percentage % 5 5 7.5 10 12.5 20 33.33 10 to 50
Depreciation is provided at the above rates subject to 1% retention of the original cost except for Catalysts, which are fully depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Assets residual values' and useful lives' are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if impact on depreciation is significant. Depreciation is charged on prorata basis on additions from the following month in which the asset is put to use and on disposals up to the month of disposal. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If such indication exists, the carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognized in income currently. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to income during the period in which they are incurred. The initial catalysts cost in Ammonia plant was capitalized with plant and machinery whereas costs of subsequent replacement of such catalysts are separately included in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful life. The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense. Effective 01 January 2011, cost and accumulated depreciation of assets relating to Fertilizer Undertaking has been transferred to DH Fertilizers Limited as per the Scheme of Arrangement (note 1.2 & 1.3) 4.3.2 Capital work-in-progress Capital work in progress is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss and represents expenditure incurred on property, plant and equipment during the construction and installation.

The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary, to provision for tax made in previous years arising from assessments framed during the year for such years.

71

For the year ended 31 December 2011 Deferred Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the profit & loss account, except in the case of items credited or charged to equity in which case it is included in equity. 4.7 Investments Investment in associate Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the Company. Investment in associates where significant influence can be established are initially recognized at cost.

Impairment losses are recognized as an expense. Where impairment losses subsequently reverse, the carrying amounts of investments are increased to the revised recoverable amount but limited to the extent of initail cost of investments. A reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss account. Available for sale investments Investments which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to the need for liquidity are classified as available for sale. Available for sale investments are recognized initially at cost being the fair value of the consideration given plus any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition and at each reporting date, these are stated at fair values unless fair values can not be measured reliably, with any resulting gains and losses being taken directly to equity until the investment is disposed or impaired. At the time of disposal, the respective surplus or deficit is transferred to income currently. Fair value of quoted investments is their bid price on Karachi Stock Exchange at the balance sheet date. Unquoted investments, where active market does not exist, are carried at cost as it is not possible to apply any other valuation methodology. Investments intended to be held for less than twelve months from the balance sheet date or to be sold to raise operating capital, are included in current assets, all other investments are classified as noncurrent. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis. All purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date which is the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment.

The particular measurement methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. The Company derecognizes the financial asset and financial liability when it ceases to be a party to such contractual provisions of the instrument. 4.9 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 4.10 Trade debts Trade debts are recognized initially at original invoice amount which is the fair value of consideration to be received in future and subsequently measured at amortized cost less an estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. A provision for impairment of trade debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

For the year ended 31 December 2011 25 Financial instruments The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments.: Credit risk Liquidity risk Market risk
The Board of Directors have the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Companys risk management framework. The Board is also responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. This note presents information about the Companys exposure to each of the above risks, the Companys objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk and the Companys management of capital. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to react to changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. 25.1 Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of accounting loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from banks financial institution on account of return on deposits and due from related parties. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each of the party. To manage exposure to credit risk in respect of receivables, management reviews credit ratings, total deposits worthiness, and maturities of the investments made, past experience and other factors. Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic features that would cause their abilities to meet contractual obligation to be similarly effected by the changes in economic, political or other conditions. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is: Note Available for sale financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Long term loans, advances and deposits and other receiveables Trade debts Bank balances 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 2,536 969,282 435,195 1,407,013 1,879,401 560,530 31,914 2,131 1,249,618 3,723,594

25.3
Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The financial instruments carrying market risks in respect of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rates fluctuations have been transferred to the Fertilizer Undertaking (note 1.2 & 1.3).
25.3.1 Equity price risk Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). Equity price risk arises from available-for-sale equity securities held. Material investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by the Board. The primary goal of the Company's investment strategy is to maximise investment returns. Sensitivity analysis: A 10% increase/decrease in share prices at year end would have decreased / increased the surplus on re-measurement of investments (fair value reserve) on 'available for sale' investments as follows: Note Effect on Equity Effect on profit and loss account 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 254 187,132 808
A 10% increase/decrease in share prices at year end does not affect equity (fair value reserve) because in both cases fluctuation in share prices is significantly below cost of purchase and would have been charged to profit and loss account as impairment.

25.4
Fair value of financial instruments The carrying values of all other financial assets and financial liabilities reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair values. 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. The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements: Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument. Level 2: Valutation techniques based on observation inputs, either directly (i.e.as prices) or indirectly (i.e derived from prices) Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant un-observable inputs.
Investments in ordinary shares of listed companies is valued using quoted prices in active market, hence, fair value of such investments fall within level 1 in fair value hierarchy as mentioned above, whereas the investments in mutual funds fall within level 2. 25.5 Capital management The Boards policy is to maintain an efficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development of its business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital employed, which the Company defines as operating income divided by total capital employed. The Board of Directors also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Company's objectives when managing capital are: (i) (ii) to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to provide an adequate return to shareholders.
The Company manages the capital structure in the context of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may, for example, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares,or sell assets to reduce debt. The Company monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-equity ratio - calculated as a ratio of total debt to equity.

For the year ended 31 December 2011 The debt-to-equity ratios as at 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2010 were as follows: Note 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 (435,445) (435,445) 19,849,039 0% 5,748,225 (1,250,263) 4,497,962 19,544,328 23%

The amended IAS 19 includes the amendments that require actuarial gains and losses to be recognized immediately in other comprehensive income; this change will remove the corridor method and eliminate the ability for entities to recognize all changes in the defined benefit obligation and in plan assets in profit or loss, which currently is allowed under IAS 19; and that the expected return on plan assets recognized in profit or loss is calculated based on the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation. Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1) - (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012). The amendments require that an entity present separately the items of other comprehensive income that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future if certain conditions are met from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss.

The most recent valuation was carried out on 31 December 2011 using the "Projected Unit Credit Method". The amount recognized in balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation net off fair value of plan assets as on 31 December 2011 as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses. Cumulative net unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous year which exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the Group obligations and the fair value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average working lives of the participating employees. Accumulated Compensated absences Provisions are made annually to cover the obligation for accumulating compensated absences based on actuarial valuation and are charged to profit and loss. The most recent valuation was carried out on 31 December 2011 using the "Projected Unit Credit Method". The amount recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations.

The Group provides depreciation under the "straight line method" so as to write off the historical cost of the asset over its estimated useful life at the following rates: Buildings on freehold land Railway siding Plant and machinery Furniture Fittings and equipment Motor vehicles Data processing equipment Catalysts Percentage % 5 5 7.5 10 12.5 20 33.33 10 to 50
Depreciation is provided at the above rates subject to 1% retention of the original cost except for Catalysts, which are fully depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Assets residual values' and useful lives' are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if impact on depreciation is significant. Depreciation is charged on prorata basis on additions from the following month in which the asset is put to use and on disposals up to the month of disposal. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If such indication exists, the carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognized in income currently. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to income during the period in which they are incurred. The initial catalysts cost in Ammonia plant was capitalized with plant and machinery whereas costs of subsequent replacement of such catalysts are separately included in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful life. The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense. Capital work-in-progress Capital work in progress is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss and represents expenditure incurred on property, plant and equipment during the construction and installation. Cost also includes applicable borrowing costs. Transfers are made to relevant property, plant and equipment category as and when assets are available for use.

Items which are identified as slow moving and are surplus to the Subsidiary Company's requirements are written down to their estimated net realizable value. Stores and spares in transit at cost, comprising invoice value plus other charges incurred thereon.
Cost of work in process and finished goods comprises of cost of direct materials, labour and appropriate manufacturing overheads. Net realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs of completion and selling expenses. 4.6 Foreign currencies All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated into rupees at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction.

Deferred Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except in the case of items credited or charged to equity in which case it is included in equity. 4.8 Investments Investment in associate Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the Group. The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the group's share of the income and expenses of the associate accounted for under equity method, after adjustments, if required, to align the accounting policies of associate with those of the Group from the date when significant influence is established until the date when that significant influence ceases. When the Group's share of losses exceed its interest in associate accounted for under equity method, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Unrealized gains arising from transactions, if any, with the associate accounted for under equity method are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Available for sale investments Investments which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to the need for liquidity are classified as available for sale. Available for sale investments are recognized initially at cost being the fair value of the consideration given plus any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition and at each reporting date, these are stated at fair values unless fair values can not be measured reliably, with any resulting gains and losses being taken directly to equity until the investment is disposed or impaired. At the time of disposal, the respective surplus or deficit is transferred to income currently. Fair value of quoted investments is their bid price on Karachi Stock Exchange at the balance sheet date. Unquoted investments, where active market does not exist, are carried at cost as it is not possible to apply any other valuation methodology.

111

For the year ended 31 December 2011 Investments intended to be held for less than twelve months from the balance sheet date or to be sold to raise operating capital, are included in current assets, all other investments are classified as noncurrent. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis. All purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the investment. Investments at fair value through profit or loss Investments which are acquired principally for the purpose of generating profits from short term fluctuations in price or dealer margins are classified as Investments at fair value through profit and loss these are initially recognized on trade date at cost being the fair value of the consideration given and derecognized by the Group on the date it commits to sell them off. Transaction costs are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred. At each balance sheet date, fair value is determined on the basis of year-end bid prices obtained from stock exchange quotations or NAV declared by the respective investee company and publicly available. Any resultant increase/(decrease) in fair value is recognized in the profit and loss account for the year. 4.9 Financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given and received respectively. These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, amortized cost or cost, as the case may be. The particular measurement methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. The Group derecognizes the financial asset and financial liability when it ceases to be a party to such contractual provisions of the instrument. 4.10 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 4.11 Trade debts Trade debts are recognized initially at original invoice amount which is the fair value of consideration to be received in future and subsequently measured at amortized cost less an estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. A provision for impairment of trade debts is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. 4.12 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purpose of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash with banks in current and saving accounts.

4.13
Trade and other payables Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are initially recognized at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in future for goods and services and subsequently at amortized cost using effective interest rate method.
4.14
Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. However, provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current best estimate.
4.15

The recoverable amount is higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The Board is also responsible for developing and monitoring the Group's risk management policies. This note presents information about the Groups exposure to each of the above risks, the Groups objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk and the Groups management of capital. The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to react to changes in market conditions and the Group's activities.

133

For the year ended 31 December 2011 33.1 Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of accounting loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from trade receivables and investment in debt securities, receivables from banks and financial institutions on account of return on deposits and due from related parties. Out of the total financial assets of Rs.3,756 million (2010: Rs. 3,724 million), the financial assets which are subject to credit risk amounted to Rs. 3,755 million (2010: Rs. 3,723 million). The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each of the party. To manage exposure to credit risk in respect of trade receivables, management reviews credit ratings, total deposits worthiness, and maturities of the investments made, past experience and other factors. Furthermore, the Subsidiary Company deals its customers receipt against sale on advance basis. The management has set a maximum credit period of one month in respect of its fertilizer sales to reduce the credit risk. All investing transactions are settled / paid for upon delivery as per the advice of investment committee. The Group's policy is to enter into financial instrument contract by following internal guidelines such as approving counterparties and approving credits. Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic features that would cause their abilities to meet contractual obligation to be similarly effected by the changes in economic, political or other conditions. 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is: Available for sale financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Loans, advances and deposits and other receivables Trade debts Bank balances 1,156,926 1,794,162 71,682 2,686 729,807 3,755,263 1,879,401 560,530 31,914 2,131 1,249,618 3,723,594
The Group believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk. Available for sale investment comprise of ordinary shares of Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Southern Electric Power Company Limited (SEPCO) listed on Stock Exchanges. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise of investments in Open End Mutual Funds.

The credit rating of the financial assets can be assessed with reference to their historical performance with no or negligible defaults in recent history, however, no losses were incurred. The credit quality of the Group`s liquidity can be assessed with reference to external credit ratings as follows: Bank Bank Al- Habib Limited Barclays Bank PLC - Pakistan Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited Habib Bank Limited Rating agency PACRA Standard & Poors PACRA JCR-VIS Rating agency Open End Mutual Funds ABL income fund ABL cash fund Meezan cash fund UBL liquidity plus fund HBL Money Market Fund JCR-VIS JCR-VIS JCR-VIS JCR-VIS JCR-VIS A+ AA+ AM2 AA+ AA Rating Long term Short term A1+ A1+ A1+ A1+ Rating Short term AA+ AAAA+ AA+ Long term
The trade debts as at the balance sheet date are classified as follows: 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 Domestic 2,686 2,131
The maximum exposure to credit risk before any credit enhancements for trade receivables at the reporting date by type of customer is: 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 Trade receivables The aging of trade receivables at the reporting date is: Past due 1-30 days Past due 30-150 days Past due 150 days 2,686 1,148 911 627 2,686 2,131 215 17 1,899 2,131
Based on past experience the management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of trade receivables past due as some receivables have been recovered subsequent to the year end and for other receivables there are reasonable grounds to believe that the amounts will be recovered in short course of time.

135

For the year ended 31 December 2011 33.2 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions. For this purpose the Group has sufficient running finance facilities available from various commercial banks to meet its liquidity requirements. Further liquidity position of the Group is closely monitored through budgets, cash flow projections and comparison with actual results by the Board. The following are the contractual maturities of the financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:

Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
33.3.1
Currency risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on import of raw materials and stores and spares mainly denominated in US dollars and on foreign currency bank accounts. The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk for US Dollars is as follows: 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 Foreign currency bank account Outstanding letters of credit Net exposure 753 (246) 507 686 (54,355) (53,669)

The following significant exchange rate has been applied: Average rate Reporting date rate Average rate 2011 2010 Rupees Rupees USD to PKR Sensitivity analysis At reporting date, if the PKR had strengthened by 10% against the US Dollar with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been higher by the amount shown below. 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 Effect on profit or loss USD (51) 5,367 86.5 85.35 Reporting date rate 2011 2010 Rupees Rupees 89.70 85.90
The weakening of the PKR against US Dollar would have had an equal but opposite impact on the post tax loss / profits. The sensitivity analysis prepared is not necessarily indicative of the effects on profit/(loss) for the year and assets / liabilities of the Group. 33.3.2 Interest rate risk At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group's significant interest bearing financial instruments was as follows: Effective rate Carrying amount 2011 2010 2011 2010 % % Rupees in '000

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit and loss account.

The sensitivity analysis prepared is not necessarily indicative of the effects on profit/ (loss) for the year and assets / liabilities of the Group. 33.3.3 Other price risk Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). Other price risk arises from the Group's investment in ordinary shares of listed companies. To manage its price risk arising from aforesaid investments, the Group actively monitors the key factors that affect stock price movement. A 10% increase/decrease in share prices at year end would have decreased/increased the surplus on re-measurement of investments in 'available for sale' investments as follows: 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 Effect on equity 33.4 Fair value of financial instruments The carrying values of other financial assets and financial liabilities reported in balance sheet approximate their fair values. The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements: Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant un-observable inputs. 115,693 187,132

Investments in ordinary shares of listed companies is valued using quoted prices in active market, hence, fair value of such investments fall within level 1 in fair value hierarchy as mentioned above, whereas the investments in mutual funds fall within level 2. 33.5 Capital management The Boards policy is to maintain an efficient capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development of its business. The board of Directors monitors the return on capital employed, which the Group defines as operating income divided by total capital employed. The board of Directors also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Group's objectives when managing capital are: (i) (ii) to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to provide an adequate return to shareholders.
The Group manages the capital structure in the context of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may, for example, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-equity ratio - calculated as a ratio of total debt to equity. The debt-to-equity ratios as at 31 Dec 2011 and at 31 Dec 2010 were as follows: 2011 2010 Rupees in '000 Restated Total debt Less: Cash and Cash equivalents Net Debt Total equity Debt-to-equity ratio 4,800,000 (730,748) 4,069,252 25,128,056 14% 5,748,225 (1,250,263) 4,497,962 22,359,579 17%
The decrease in the debt-to-equity ratio in 2011 resulted primarily due to repayment of long term borrowings and less reliance on short term borrowings Neither there were any changes in the Groups approach to capital management during the year nor the Group is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
