Sectoral outlook

About the sector

The textile sector enjoys a pivotal position in the exports of Pakistan. In Asia,
Pakistan is the 8th largest exporter of textile products. The contribution of this
industry to the total GDP is 8.5%. It provides employment to about 15 million
people, 30% of the country work force of about 49 million. The annual volume
of total world textile trade is US$18 trillion which is growing at 2.5 per cent.
Out of it, Pakistan’s share is less than one per cent.

The development of the Manufacturing Sector has been given the highest
priority since Pakistan’s founding with major stress on Agro-Based Industries.
For Pakistan which was one of the leading producers of cotton in the world,
the development of a Textile Industry making full use of its abundant
resources of cotton has been a priority area towards industrialization. At

8
present, there are 1,221 ginning units, 442 spinning units, 124 large spinning
units and 425 small units which produce textile products.

The industry consists of large-scale organized sector and a highly fragmented

cottage / small-scale sector. The various sectors that are a part of the textile
value chain are: Spinning, most of the spinning industry operates in an
organized manner with in-house weaving, dyeing and finishing facilities.
Weaving comprises of small and medium sized entities. The processing
sector, comprising dyeing, printing and finishing sub-sectors, only a part of
this sector is operating in an organized state, able to process large quantities
while the rest of the units operate as small and medium sized units. The
printing segment dominates the overall processing industry followed by textile
dyeing and fabric bleaching. The garments manufacturing segment generates
the highest employment within the textile value chain. Over 75% of the units
comprise small sized units. The knitwear industry mostly consists of factories
operating as integrated units (knitting + processing + making up facilities). The
clothing sectors both woven and knits are mainly clustering in Karachi–
Lahore and Faisalabad where sufficient ladies labor is available.

High value added products i.e. garments and textile made-ups have over the
years progressively increased their share in the textile export portfolio.
Currently these products constitute 57% of the total textile exports. During
early nineties the textile exports were dominated by yarn and greige fabric
which had a share of almost 56% in the total exports. As far as the markets
are concerned 60% -70% of the merchandise is exported to the USA and the
EU.

The Textile Industry in Pakistan Is Divided Into Six Major Sub-Categories

• Ginning Industry
• Spinning Industry
• Weaving Industry
• Knitting Industry

9
 • Garment Industry
• Polyester Fiber Industry

Established capacity

The textile industry of Pakistan has a total established spinning capacity of

1550 million kgs of yarn, weaving capacity of 4368 million square metres of
fabric and finishing capacity of 4000 million square metres. The industry has a
production capacity of 670 million units of garments, 400 million units of
knitwear and 53 million kgs of towels.

The industry has a total of 1221 units engaged in ginning and 442 units
engaged in spinning. There are around 124 large units that undertake
weaving and 425 small units. There are around 20600 power looms in
operation in the industry. The industry also houses around 10 large finishing
units and 625 small units.

Pakistan’s textile industry has about 50 large and 2500 small garment
manufacturing units. Moreover, it also houses around 600 knitwear-producing
units and 400 towel-producing units.

Contribution to exports

According to recent figures, the Pakistan textile industry contributes more than
60% to the country’s total exports, which amounts to around 5.2 billion US
dollars. The industry contributes around 46% to the total output produced in
the country.

In Asia, Pakistan is the 8th largest exporter of textile products.

Contribution to GDP and employment

The contribution of this industry to the total GDP is 8.5%. It provides

employment to 38% of the work force in the country, which amounts to a

10
figure of 15 million. However, the proportion of skilled labor is very less as
compared to that of unskilled labor.

Organisations in the industry

All Pakistan Textile Mills Association is the chief organization that determines
the rules and regulations in the Pakistan textile industry.

Opportunities available

The world demand for textiles is rising at around 2.5%, due to which there is a
greater opportunity for rise in exports from Pakistan.

Porter's five model analyses

One of the worst hit sectors during the skyrocketing interest rate scenario in the late 90s and
early 2000s, the debt-laden Indian textile industry has spun many turn-around stories since
then. Aided by lower interest rates, restructuring packages from financial institutions and the
recent dismantle of quotas; the sector is today well poised to capture growth opportunities. In
2005, the sector contributed 20% to industrial production, 9% to excise collections, 18% of
employment in industrial sector, nearly 20% to the country's total export earnings and 4% to
the GDP. The textile sector employs nearly 35 m people and is the second highest employer
in the country. Infect, it is estimated that one out of every six households in the country
directly or indirectly depend on this sector. Here we analyze the sector's dynamics through
Porter's five-factor model.

11
Bargaining power of customers (demand scenario)
Global textile & clothing industry is currently pegged at around US$ 440 bn. US and European
markets dominate the global textile trade accounting for 64% of clothing and 39% of textile
market. With the dismantling of quotas, global textile trade is expected to grow (as per Mc
Kinsey estimates) to US$ 650 bn by 2010 (5 year CAGR of 10%). Although China is likely to
become the 'supplier of choice', other low cost producers like India would also benefit as the
overseas importers would try to mitigate their risk of sourcing from only one country. The two-
fold increase in global textile trade is also likely to drive India's exports growth. India's textile
export (at US$ 15 bn in 2005) is expected to grow to US$ 40 bn, capturing a market share of
close to 8% by 2010. India, in particular, is likely to benefit from the rising demand in the
home textiles and apparels segment, wherein it has competitive edge against its neighbor.
Nonetheless, a rapid slowdown in the denim cycle poses risks to fabric players.

Bargaining power of suppliers (supply scenario)

India is the third largest producer of cotton in the world after China and US and has the
largest area under cultivation. Cotton, a key
raw material in the textile and garment
industry, accounts for about 30% of the
fabric cost and 13% of the garment cost.
India has an abundant supply of locally
grown long staple cotton, which lends it a
cost advantage in the home textile and
apparels segments. Other countries, like China and Pakistan, have relatively lower supply of
locally grown long staple cotton. Moreover, low cotton prices due to a bumper cotton crop
would enable India to lower its production cost and sustain pricing pressure. Further, efforts

12
on improving the yield per hectare would ensure higher productivity and production, thereby
providing the much-needed security of raw-material supply to textile producers.

India also enjoys a significant lead in terms of labor cost per hour (US$ 0.6 in 2004), over
developed countries like US (US$ 15.1) and newly industrialized economies like Hong Kong
(US$ 5.1), Taiwan (US$ 7.1), South Korea (US$ 5.7) and China (US$ 0.9). Also, India is rich
in traditional workers adept at value-adding tasks, which could give Indian companies
significant margin advantage.

Threat of new entrants

In the quota free regime, capacity expansion is the name of the game in the textile sector.
Resultantly, smaller players who cannot venture into the global markets are flooding the
domestic markets with excess supply, thus weakening the pricing scenario. Be it denim
(Arvind Mills), home textiles (Welspun and Alok Industries) or branded apparels (Raymond),
new capex and consolidation with international players is also not likely to safeguard margins
for the larger players, unless they can tap a significant pie of the overseas markets.

Threat of substitutes
Low cost producing countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh (labor cost 50% cheaper) are
also posing a threat to India's exports demand. Infact, players like Arvind Mills have already
started feeling the pinch as overseas buyers have started shifting to 'alternative sources', thus
impacting their incremental volume off-takes.

Competitive rivalry
India's logistic disadvantage due to its geographical location can give it a major thumbs-down
in global trade. The country is distant from major markets as compared to its global
competitors like Mexico, Turkey and China, which are located in relatively close vicinity to
major global markets of US, Europe and Japan. As a result, high cost of shipments and
longer lead-time coupled with lack of infrastructure facility may prove to be major hindrances.

The fragmented structure of the industry has also stood in the way of achieving true
integration between the various links in the supply chain. The sector has one of the longest
and most complex supply chains in the world, which the larger players are trying to correct by
integrating their operations and improving efficiency levels.

Textiles being a fairly regulated sector till the recent past (quota regime), another
indispensable leg of the above analysis is government regulations. Technology Upgradation
Fund Scheme (TUFS) was launched in FY99 for a period of five years (later extended upto
FY07) to promote the upgradation of the textile and jute industry. The scheme aimed at
providing loans to the sector at internationally comparable rates of interest (5% lower than the
domestic interest rates), which enabled the players to upgrade their technology at lower cost

13
of capital. Establishment of 'Apparel Export Parks' and fiscal incentives in the recent budgets
also indicate the government's resolve to aid the sector's growth and international
competitiveness.

As one can comprehend from the above analysis, the potential for the sector's growth are
ample, but the trick lies in competing effectively against rivals. Consolidation of the industry
and delivery of better quality at effective rates and minimum lead time would certainly help the
players surmount all competitive pressures

PEST analyses

Political Analysis – Political stability, trade regulations, tax policies, industrial

safety and environmental regulations, employment laws, IP rights. The factors
negatively affect all businesses; including the political wars among the parties
etc. The monthly wages were increased. These steps did prove to be a
successful in motivating an already depressed and low paid labor force but at
the same time increased the threats from labor unions for meeting their
demands and cost of production for already suffering textile industry.

Economic Analysis – Economic growth, inflation rate, interest rates, exchange

rates, labor costs, government expenditure, consumer spending. The
inflationary pressures as noted in the year 2006 influences the company
sales. However the inflation rate is stabilizing and is at 10.26% and the SBP
has decreased interest and is expected to further cut the interest rates. The
rupee depreciation during the year has been beneficial for the exporters, as
unit prices in PKR have increased for the textile segment.

Social Analysis – Demographics, consumer behavior, leisure interests,

income distribution, living standards, health consciousness, fashion & lifestyle
changes In rural areas of Pakistan there are fewer opportunities to earn a
living, so many bread earners move out to find a better earning opportunities.
They mostly find jobs in different sectors including textiles and also prove to
be low cost labor. This benefits the companies in competing in terms of cost.

14
Technological Analysis – Technological developments, new inventions,
automation, information technology Pakistan is facing serious power crises in
terms of electricity shortage and gas shortage as well. Due to this many textile
units have completely shut down and many units have to cut down production.
Since decades many incentives were given to the local industry such as tax
rebates, R&D support in 2007. The domestic companies took advantage of
such policies but were not able to add value to the textile exports due to which
Pakistan exports are falling sharply.

Global textile & clothing industry is currently pegged at around US$ 440 bn.
US and European markets dominate the global textile trade accounting for
64% of clothing and 39% of textile market. With the dismantling of quotas,
global textile trade is expected to grow (as per Mc Kinsey estimates) to US$

15
650 bn by 2010 (5 year CAGR of 10%). Although China is likely to become

Government policies

However, the government changed its policies and started making frequent
upward revision of power, gas tariffs, oil prices and other inputs cost, which
affected the local industries seriously and manufacturing costs have gone up
tremendously making locally products goods uncompetitive in international as
well as local market. This has resulted in decline of sale and closure of
industries converting them in warehouses.

He feared that government revenue collection would also suffer to a large

extent if the present trend remains continue and government failed to reduce
cost of doing business as well as overcome the smuggling. He urged the
government to take appropriate measures to stop export of yarn and its prices
should be kept at reasonable level.

Former Vice President KCCI, Abdullah Zaki said that the textile sector facing
serious problems owing to increase in price of yarn in local market, its non-
availability. He claimed that over 60 lakhs dollars' export orders of towel have
been cancelled due to high prices and non -availability of yarn. He said that
Bangladesh and China are supplying fabrics at very low price in international
market owing to huge export of yarn from Pakistan as well as low cost of
production in these countries.

Problems Faced By the textile Industry

1. Lost competitiveness in the global market

2. Lack of awareness of global trends and changing rules and
regulation.
3. The reinvestment and introduction of the latest technology
4. Sector did not focus on the emerging trend of the value
additions

18
 5. More dependence on cotton
6. Poor infrastructure
7. Unstable political situation
8. Obsolete technology machinery and equipment used for
manufacturing
9. Availability of raw material and inconsistent raw material prices
10. Unskilled labor (only 1% workers have certificate / diploma from
technical training institutions)
11. Absence of research and development culture
12. Lack of synergies between Govt. support institutions and
practical market.
13. Lack of standardization and quality control
14. Non-sophisticated marketing sense. (Branding & grading)
15. Unorganized vendor base
16. Limited access to information (availability of finance,
technological know-how & Govt. regulations)
17. Energy costs
18. 20% Interest on Bank Loans
19. Tariff hikes of Gas
20. Tariff hikes of Electricity
21. Frequent Interruption in supply of electricity and Gas
22. High Freight Cost
23. Demand Of drastic cut on textile products from their buyers from
US and EU

FINANCIAL ANALYSES

The fiscal year 2008-09 was a year of recession for most businesses
including textile sector worldwide. Deep recession in the US and European
markets led to lower sales at retail levels together with stiff competition for
suppliers. Pakistan's textile exports were hit hard due to intense competition

19
with regional countries in FY09. This, alongside rising interest rates and
prolonged power cuts proved to be a hindrance to earnings of the textile
industry in FY09, as depicted by a decline of 57% YoY. For textile sector in
Pakistan, the year was also one of the most volatile due to a number of
reasons.

Decelerated business volumes and electricity crisis have taken its toll and
many small and medium size production houses have shut down already or at
the verge of closure. A record increase in the prices of cotton and yarn in the
first quarter and steep rise in interest rates had impacted the sector on varying
degrees. Domestic textile units gained as well as lost in all these volatilities as
per their strengths and relative positioning in the market.

FUTURE OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Demand of textile products is increasing every year to almost 3%. So

Pakistan can also capture some share from this but the industrialists and the
government needs to focus on this sector. Textile industry just needs a good
leader in the government which can drive the industry in a right direction.
Textile Industry of Pakistan can kick its competitors far off and can contribute
up to 90% in the total GDP of Pakistan. In short Textile Industry of Pakistan
has a great potential, it is lacking in some natural resources like power and
some political instability of the country is also playing a vital role in the reverse
gear of Textile sector. But I am sure Textile industry of Pakistan will grow and
will keep its big share in the world textile.

II. ANALYSES OF THE COMPANY OUTLOOK

• SWOT Analysis

The availability on economical, reliable and sustainable energy is the key

Issue that companies face globally today. Countries all over the world are
Grappling ways in which millions of households, industries and other
Businesses can be provided with energy that is dependable and does not tax

24
Our future generations.

STREGNTHS
Dawood Lawrencepur have decided that with technical and financial
capabilities within the company and the group, they can play an instrumental
role in an effort to the national objective of reliable, economical, sustainable
energy for sustainable economic development, creating an environment
where everyone can turn reach grow.

WEAKNESS
The weakness of the company includes the power shortages, due to the
increased cost of which the company re

THREATS
In Pakistan we face a slightly different challenge. While the world
Figures out a way to power the economic growth of the future, we at home
Are concerned with the issue of inadequate energy today. Demand has
Outgrown supply massively in the past, the resulting in prolonged power
Breakdowns and gas load shedding. Pakistan's energy scarcity is indeed
disconcerting. It is seen as the single biggest impediment to the
growth for our industrial sector. Frequent power outages render our
exports uncompetitive, as idle factories cannot deliver goods so
desperately needed to
Be produce on time. This is the issue of reliable energy.

OPPORTUNITIES
The company currently generates over 6500 MW from renewable hydel
energy, but have the capacity to generate 32000 MW more. According to
latest figures Dawood has the potential to generate up to 43,000 MW through
wind energy alone, a source already producing electricity at commercially
viable levels. The location in the tropics gives Dawood Lawrencepur an added
advantage to use the sun to power our homes, with technologies becoming
increasingly competitive with conventional methods of power generation.

25
Pakistan possesses over 180 billion tones of coal. We also have the lowest
drilling densities and highest success ratios suggesting tremendous potential
In hydrocarbon exploration. On top of that we are located in the region that
has provided much of the world with cheap energy and is forecasted to do so
for next few decades. All of these factors have coupled together for us to look
back and turn.

• PEST Analysis

Political
The factors negatively affect all businesses; including the political wars among
the parties etc. The monthly wages were increased. These steps did prove to
be a successful in motivating an already depressed and low paid labor force
but at the same time increased the threats from labor unions for meeting their
demands and cost of production for already suffering textile industry.

Economic
The inflationary pressures as noted in the year 2006 influences the company
sales. However the inflation rate is stabilizing and is at 10.26% and the SBP
has decreased interest and is expected to further cut the interest rates. The
rupee depreciation during the year has been beneficial for the exporters, as
unit prices in PKR have increased for the textile segment.

Social
In rural areas of Pakistan there are fewer opportunities to earn a living, so
many bread earners move out to find a better earning opportunities. They
mostly find jobs in different sectors including textiles and also prove to be low
cost labor. This benefits the companies in competing in terms of cost.

26
Technology
Pakistan is facing serious power crises in terms of electricity shortage and gas
shortage as well. Due to this many textile units have completely shut down
and many units have to cut down production. Since decades many incentives
were given to the local industry such as tax rebates, R&D support in 2007.
The domestic companies took advantage of such policies but were not able to
add value to the textile exports due to which Pakistan exports are falling
sharply.

• Demand & supply

The demand and supply of a Dawood textile industry depends upon few main
factors. Some of them are mentioned below.

1. Internal Conditions of the home country

2. Condition of the country where the end product is to be exported
3 Global financial conditions

If we take an example of current situation of textile sector we’ll come to know

that the demands are much more then supply. Reason for less supply from
industry is

1. Shortage of Cotton.
2. Unavailability of Skilled Labor
3. Problems of Electricity Shortage
4. Problems of Gas shortage
5. Improper law and order situations
6. Unrealistic hike in fuel prices

The textile industry can supply more then it is already supplying if the above
mentioned problems get solved.

27
Regarding past if we compare then the demands were high but the supply
was low because of hike in freight charges and also the raw material which
depends upon oil or we can say due to hike in the prices of all petrochemical
products which are necessary for a textile industry. For example:

1. Plastic Resin: Which is used for making plastic bags

2. Dyes: Used as colorants
3. Chemicals of all types used in dyeing and finishing processs
4. Lubricants.
5. Fuel ( which is some what stable now then before )
6. Transportation charges.

In future if our government can provide the better fuel including power and
natural gas then much of the problems of a textile industry will get solved in
this way.

• Contribution to Sectoral GDP & Position among other

Companies in the Sector

The Ranking of Dawood Lawrencepur according to its sector can be seen

from the below table which shows that the company has Rs. 245.6 million of
net worth and a net income of 289.7 million and net profit of 29.8 million

NET SALES

During 2008, the company achieved sales of Rs. 689.84 million (inclusive

The sales of the company as we can conclude from the horizontal and
vertical analyses show a very fluctuating trend. From the FY 2003 the
sales increased upto 119.23% in 2004 and declined to 90.38% in FY2005,
however in 2005 it consists of computation of 9 months due to the change
in Accounting year. In 2006 ithe sales reached upto 137.79% and den
took a drastic decline to 27.26%. This declined is explained by the
discontinued operation of the company. The textile operations and the
polyester staple fiber operations at Landhi were closed down during the
year 2006-07, the operations at Burewala had to be closed down in March
2008, so this explains the drastic fluctuation in the net sales.

.
We can see from the above graph of 2006 that 70% of the sales value was
dues to the yarn. And the Below chart of 2004 shows that cotton yarn
consisted around 80% of the total yarn value in the sales value.

44
The sales also have a direct impact n the company's Gross profit margin
which declined to a negative 24.2%. In FY 2003 the gross profit margin
was 6.36% which increased to 9% in FY2004. In 2005 due to the change
in accounting policy the GPM was estimated to 10%, it takes into account
only nine months data. In 2006 The GPM Declined to 5.3% and further it
declined to 1.08% in FY2007 due to the discontinued operation and in
2008 it reached to negative 24.2%. The sales had a direct impact on the
Gross Profit Margin of the company. The gross profit of the company
declined to 58.88% at the year end 2008.

The operating margin of the company is the lowest in 2008 .i.e. 38.1%. As
well as the Net profit margin. The behavior of continuous decline explains
that the companies discontinued operations were a part of major sales and
growth of the company.

The Company's profitability during the year was significantly impacted by

the inflationary pressures, power tariff hike and by the need to rationalize
old inventories in 2006.

The company hence must increase its sales of the continuing operations
so as to secure its previous profitable position

45
COST OF GOODS SOLD
the cost of goods sold of the company throughout 2003 to 2007 remained
around 90% of the sales, however in 2008, it was 79.9% of the sales. This
can again be justified by the affect of discontinued operations. As
compared to 2003 the cost of goods sold declined to 23.98%. The textile
operations and the polyester staple fiber operations at Landhi were closed
down during the year 2006-07, the operations at Burewala had to be
closed down in March 2008. This explains the lower cost of goods sold in
the year 2008. The main components influencing the decreasing Cost of
Goods sold are stocks and spared in part, which has declined to 59.16%
and 44.14% since the year 2003.

Also the company Average inventory per day increased to 298.86 as

compared to 152.855 in 2003. Which can be explained by the increasing
cost of goods sold as compared to the change in the increase in the
inventory.

OTHER OPERATING REVENUE

The income from other sources has been fluctuating through out the 6
years which increased to 231.9% in the year 2004 and declined 55.48% in
2005 then reached to 76.35% and eventually fell to 38.45% in the year
2008. It comprises of 23.39% of the sales and is an important reason of
the income to not falls as much as it could have due to the discontinued
operations.

OPERATING EXPENSES
The operating expenses of the company reached to a12.36% of the sales
in 2008, which can be referred to as the highest the company reached in
the last six years. As compared to the company initial year 2003 the
operating expense only comprised of 6.99% of the companies sales which
gradually incread throughout the years and reached to 10%.

46
 This has impact on the operating loss or gain of the company. In 2008 the
Operating profit margin is (38.1%) as compared to the operating profit of
2003 which is 2.56% which is the highest the company achieved in this six
year. The operating expenses had a major impact on reducing the
operating profit margin through out the year.

OTHER EXPENSES
Other charges is minor as in the year 2006 which also includes donation to
the earthquake relief fund. Other charges are only 0.0026% and the
donation comprises of 0.66% of the total sales in the year 2006.

Analysis of special income statement item

• Discontinued operations in 2008 and 2007 are the major
reasons of a loss in the profits of the company. The textile operations
and the polyester staple fiber operations at Landhi were closed down
during the year 2006-07, the operations at Burewala had to be closed
down in March 2008, so this explains the drastic fluctuation in the net
sales.

• The figures for the past three years (2001-2003) represent the
period when the Merger had not taken place

• In May 2004, the Company name was changed ' Dawood

Lawrencepur Limited' to so as to take advantage of the goodwill
associated with the name of Lawrencepur. This report being the first
annual report of the merged entity, demonstrates the commitment to be
better prepared in the post WTO scenario.
• Of previous year 2005 are of nine months because of the
change in accounting year from September to June.
• The sale of the disposal held for sale in the year 2007 and 2008.

PROFITABLITY

The Company's profitability during the year was significantly impacted by the
inflationary pressures, power tariff hike and by the need to rationalize old
inventories in 2006.

The figures for the past three years (2001-2003) represent the period when

The Companies Profitability margins can be assessed from the graph above.
In the year 2003 that is the initial year the companies margins were all
positive, with the net profit margin as 11.8% however in the year 2005
Dawood Lawrencepurs NPM increased to 39.9%, this is due to the merger as
well as due to the change is accounting period. The Net profit margin declined
to a negative 28.5% in the year 2008 due to abandonment of the companies
few operations. The Major reasons for the decline in the Net profit are
mentioned above.

48
The Company Cashflow margin peaked to 73.2% in the last 6 years. In 2004
the company's cash flow margin declined to a negative 39.4% due to the
substantial selling of the shares.

The operating margin of dawood Lawrencepur remained weak through out the
six years of the analyses. The margin reached its negative value in 2008 to
38.1% . The operating margin remained positive for the first 3 initial years.
Which lead to the conclusion that the discontinued operations had a major
impact on the operating profit margin of the company, the operating loss
reached to 908% in 2008 and 372% in 2007 as compared to a positive
operating margin of the year 2003. The discontinued operations were the
major reason. The company needs to utilize its current operations to a
maximum.

The sales also have a direct impact n the company's Gross profit margin
which declined to a negative 24.2%. In FY 2003 the gross profit margin was
6.36% which increased to 9% in FY2004. In 2005 due to the change in
accounting policy the GPM was estimated to 10%, it takes into account only
nine months data. In 2006 The GPM Declined to 5.3% and further it declined
to 1.08% in FY2007 due to the discontinued operation and in 2008 it reached
to negative 24.2%. The sales had a direct impact on the Gross Profit Margin
of the company. The gross profit of the company declined to 58.88% at the
year end 2008.

over the total assets ratio. Which indicates that the companies net income is
not increase in pace with the increase in the total asset. Dawood Lawrencepur
needs to increase in total income. However from the analyses done, the
company's nets income suffered a major decline due to the discontinued
operations. The net income increased to 202% in the year 2005 and then
declined to 7.28% in 2006 and eventually declined to 82.05% in the year
2008. This again shows the impact of discontinued operations.

inflationary pressure, the merger that took place) the EPS of the company
declined drastically to 5.96% in 2006 and further to a negative (4.22%) in the

Balance Sheet
• Analysis and insight on Assets
The companies Assets as we can see from the below graph were the
Highest in the year 2006. The assets in 2003 were 3762 million which
increased gradually till the year 2006, But after discontinuing certain
operation in the year 2007 and 2008 the company assets declined
drastically to 1791 million. Also the increased trend in the assets from
2004 can be explained by the company merger which resulted in the
increased assets. We can see from the analytical analyses that the
company's non current assets have been more as compared to the current
assets of the company. However in 2008 the major part of the asset of the
company were the assets of disposal held for sale .i.e. 42.34%. In 2007

52
 the Non current assets ratio reached 50.23% of the total assets of the
company.

the company in 2007 and 2008. As compared to the increasing long term
investments in the previous year, in 2008 and 2007 its acquisition declined to
22 and 29%.

In CURRENT ASSETS, it shows a declining trend from 2004 which increased

to 136.322% in 2004, after the merger the rate declined to 127% in 2005,
113% in 2006, and then 66% and 36% in the year 2007 and 2008. IN the first
3 initial years the current assets composed around 30% part of the total asset,
in 2006 the currents assets were only 19.6% of the total assets which

53
increased in 2007 to 33.34% and in 2008 declined to the rate of 24.579 of the
total assets.

The stocks and spares held a major portion of the current assets throughout
the 6 years amounting to 13.94% of the current assets in the year 2008. The
second major portion of the current assets is the trade debtors. The dash and
bank balances show a decreasing trend from 39.29559% in 2004 gradually
decreasing to 13.24% in 2006 and increasing to 23.85% in the year 2008.

• Analysis and insight on Liabilities and Shareholder’s Equity

The companies Liabilities and stockholders Equity has the same trend to that
of the assets of the company. From the Vertical and common size analyses
of the company it is noted that the company contains more then 70% of the
liabilities in the total liabilities and the stock holders equity sections of the
company. The Major portion of stockholders Equity is the fair value reserve on
the investment amounting to 60.23% of the total liabilities and SHE in the year
2006. In 2008 and 2007 there was no fair value of reserve on the investment..

In the total Liabilities section the company's current liability has heavy weight
as to the weight of the non current liabilities. Shows a bell shape pattern
referring to 13.244% of the total liabilities and stockholders equity in 2003,
increasing to 22.43% in the year 2005 and then declining substantially to
11.61 percent of the total liabilities and the stock holder's equity. The total

LIQUIDITY
The trend of the Dawood Lawrencepurs current and Quick ratio shows a
fluctuating or a cyclical type pattern. The company at the year end shows
that its liquidity position has increased as compared to the 1.802 and
0.508 of current and quick ratio of the year 2001 to 2.584 and 1.171 in the
year 2008. In the year 2005 and 2004 the company's liquidity position
went down to 1.762 in 2005 and following the pattern in 2006. This is due
to the change in the accounting period in the year 2005 and due to the
merger of the company. This low ratio can be understood by analyzing the
current assets and current liabilities position. The current assets during the
year 2006, 2004 and 2005 amounted to 19.36%, 39.89% and 36.99% of
the total assets whereas the current liabilities amounted to 12.69% in
2006, 22.43% and 23.47% in the year 2005 and 2004. The Company's
profitability during the year was significantly impacted by the inflationary
pressures, power tariff hike and by the need to rationalize old inventories
in 2006. The quick ratio for is showing a weak trend, it means that the
company is holding large amount of inventory and not utilizing it efficiently
to pay off its current liabilities.

From the above chart, it can be analyzed that the companies Average
collection period has maintained a steady pace fluctuating now and then.
The company is collecting its receivables in 61.25 days in the year 2003,
which increased to 83.335% in the year 2005 and thereon declined to
46.49% in the year 2008. The receivables declined to 20.38% in this year
due to the reduced sales in the year of 27.26% which showed progress in
collecting the receivables.

56
The company's inventory per day shows a progressive impact as the
companies cost of goods sold is increasing steadily with the increase or
more to the increase in the inventory made per day which in 2003 was
152.23% and reached to 338% in the year 2005 and declined over the
next 3 years but reached 298.86% in the year 2008. The stores and
spares were the major portion of out inventory which reached to 55% and
44.81% in the year 2008.

The company is making its payable slow throughout the year in 40-50
days but in the year 2008 the payable per day increased to 169.488%

times in a year which is increasing every alternate year and reaches 3.187
times in the year 2008. The turnover is however weak which we have
discussed above.

The firm inventory turnover is less. The firm has an efficiency of selling
0.916 times inventory in the year 2003, which remains stable through out
the coming year. The Cogs of the inventory are less as compared to the
sales made.

The fixed assets as noted above had a more then 75% ratio in the totals
assets, hence the fixed asset turnover is much higher and covers up to 4.7
times of the sales in the year 2008 The company needs to reduce its fixed
assets.

The total asset turnover is less. In the year 2007 it reached 0.506 times
the sales. The firm is utilizing less resources, this is due to the result of
three major things; mergers, change in the accounting period,
discontinuing operations.

Cash Flow Statement

Dawood Lawrencepur only generated positive cash flow in two years in the
last six year. As we can see from the table given below, it shows the cash
flow generated in the year 2003 and the year 2008 amounted to 217 and
62 million. The cash suffered a drastic decline in 2004 amounting to a
negative 359 million and then in 2005 it peaked to 594 million. In the yea

58
2004, the company suffered loss in its cash flows due to the merger with
the other company. Also in 2005 due to the change in accounting period.
In 2006, due to the inflationary pressures the company suffered losses and
the cash generated was recovered in the year 2007 and 2008 as the
company discontinued some of its operations which generated cash of
about 62 million rupees.

On the further analyses of the cash flow statement, the companies cash
generated from the financing actives are negative through out. The
dividend is paid less in the year 2008 and 2007 where as the finance lease
payment increased as compared to the preceding years.
The cash generated from investing activities is the only source which gave
positive cash flows in all years except in the year 2005. Purchasing of
shares and fixed capital expenditure was the major reason for the negative
generation of cash from the investing activities in the year 2005. In 2004
the sale of shares for the merger resulted in generating huge cash flows
for the company. Where in the year 2008 and 2007 the most cash is
generated for operation as a result of the sales of disposals and
discontinued operations which brought positive cash flows for the

The Graph above shows the capital structure of the firm, which shows that
throughout the six years the firm's capital structure consists of 75 – 89% of the
contribution to it by the equity sector and the rest percentage is financed by
the current and noncurrent liabilities of the firm. The contribution by the
liabilities reached 22% in 2005 which was the highest in the considered
analyses. The amount relates to the 9 month data due to the chance in the
accounting period.

The graph above is the analyses of the company's long-term debt to

capitalization ratio which shows that the long term debt is the major part of
financing the business. Which reaches to 6.6% in the year 2004 due to the
merger of the firm. The deferred liabilities are the major portion of the long
term debt in the permanent financing of the debt. Although the ratio
throughout is less the major portion of financing is done by the current
liabilities amounting to 9.6% in the 2008. But the major financing of the

62
business is through equity hence the company's liabilities i.e. current and non
current ratios are less.

The graph below shows the capital structure of the firm. The ratio increased to
30.7% in the year 2004 and declined gradually to 13.1% in the year 2008, as
the result of discontinued operations and mergers.

X. POSITION OF DAWOOD COMPARED WITH THE
INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE

PROFITABILITY
The gross profit margin is less as compared to the industrial average only in

The average collection period of the company is greater which means its
collecting its receivables in much more delaying period as compared to the
industrial average of the companies. The payables of the company are made
in more then hundred days which mean that the company is slow is collecting
as well as making payments as compared to the industrial average.

EFFICIENCY
The receivable turnover is below the industrial average of relievable
turnovers, much below, which means mean that the company is collecting its
receivable fewer times in a year as compared to the industry. The company's
inventory turnover also shows a below-average trend. The payable turnover of
the company is also below average although the companies fixed asset
turnover shows an above average trend. The total asset turnover also shows
a below average trend.

SOLVENCY

rates which shows that the company's debt financing is less and much
dependence is on the equity financing as compared to the industrial average

INVESTORS ANALYSES
Dawood lawrencepur's Earning per share has remained positive through out
the year but less then the industrial average, this is the result of the losses the
company suffered in the few years of analyses, the change in accounting
policy, closing down of some operations and discontinued operations, but the
company offers good perspective in the future.

XI. Analysis of Depreciation method used by the
company
The Company reviews appropriateness of the rate of depreciation on plant
and equipment, useful life and residual value used in the calculation of
depreciation. Further where applicable, an estimate of recoverable amount of
assets is made for possible impairment on an annual basis.

Depreciation is provided on a diminishing balance method at the rate

mentioned in the relevant note except for lease hold land which is amortized
on straight line method. Depreciation is charged from the date the asset is put
into operation and discontinued from the date the asset is retired.

Depreciation of leased assets is charged to income. The related obligations of

leased assets are accounted for as liabilities.

XII. Analysis of cost flow assumption employed

by the company
• Stores, spares and loose tools are valued at average cost
except for items in transit which are stated at cost incurred upto the
balance sheet date. For items which are slow moving and /or identified
as surplus to the Company's requirements, adequate provision is made

66
 for any excess book value over estimated realizable value. The
Company reviews the carrying amount of stores and spares on a
regular basis and provision is made for obsolescence.
• Stock in trade is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable
value Cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and
condition are accounted for as follows.
(a) Items in transit/bond are valued at cost comprising invoice values
plus other charges incurred thereon upto the balance sheet date.
(b)Net realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less cost necessary to be incurred to make
the sale
(c)Trading goods are accounted for on cost which is the invoice value
plus other expenses incurred to bring them to the point of sale.
• Plant and equipment: The costs of replacing part of an
item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future
economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the
company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the
day to day servicing of property, plant and equipment are
recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.

XIII. Policy Analysis

During the year 2008, with the acquisition of 100% share holding in TGL, DLL
became a holding company of TGL. In line with paragraph 35 of IAS 28, in the
separate financial statements of the Holding Company, the investments in
associates where significant influence exist are required to be measured
under cost or fair value as envisaged in IAS 27. Previously the investments in
associates where significant influence exist were measured under equity
method of accounting as required under IAS 28. Accordingly, the company

67
has decided to re-measure its investment in associate at Cost. This change
has been applied retrospectively.

Had this policy been not changed the investments in associate

would be higher by Rs. 3,125.59 million and reserves would be
higher by the same amount.

XIV. Insight and Recommendation for Investors

& Creditors
• In order to improve liquidity position, company has to utilize its
inventories to an optimum level to reduce its holding cost.

• Company needs to improve its asset utilization to improve its liquidity

position to pay off their current liabilities.

• Dawood lawrencepur should increase current assets to improve its

liquidity position because it acts as a guarantee to the creditors for
meeting its current liabilities.

• The company should try to reduce its equity and go for debt finance
because with high equity comes high losses and that is one reason the
company is suffering from losses

• Dawood Lawrencepur should either reduce its expenses, but also to

increase its sales so as to cover from the losses suffered from the
discontinued operations as that are one reason they are increasing
their debt and seem incapable to bear the rising inflation.

• They should negotiate with government regulatory authorities to

remove price freeze

68
• They should come up with finance mix that shifts towards debt
financing

• Company’s sales are decreasing and so are the average collection

period is not improving with this decrease, company should employ
more efficient people who can get these receivables back on time, but
mostly it should increase its sales.

• In 2008, company’s selling and distribution expenses have decreased

to 36.95 and 69.38% at the same time sales decreased to 27.26%.

• Looking at the profitability ratios we can say that company is getting

itself into serious problems. Main issues are the discontinued
operations which have dented the company’s profits. This can damage
the confidence of the investors and also puts a question mark on
company’s management abilities. To attract more investors the
management should think of strategic solutions to bring its costs down
and manage its operations well because with improvements in profits
the company will be able to get improvements in its market price
because profitability is one the major aspect on which investors keep a
close look because it also reflects the ability of company’s
management.

• To improve sales growth management will have to come up with some

strategic solutions to increase the sales growth to attract more
investors for the company and to have attractive gross and net profits
in the coming years.

• From management point of view profitability is also a major aspect

because higher profitability will eventually help the managers in getting
more benefits and higher salaries. Top management must also think of
downsizing to bring its administrative costs down to an acceptable
level.

• Agency costs must also be taken care of so that management should

work in best interest for the company rather than looking for their own
personal benefits. The solutions for this can be to give executive stock
options to the management which will motivate them to work for
company’s own benefits which will benefit the management as well.

• The earnings per share have declined sharply because of low

earnings. This is reducing the attractiveness for investors in Dawood

69
 Lawrencepur LTD.. So, earnings per share should be improved by
focusing on the earnings growth.

• After analyzing the market ratios for Dawood lawrencepur, we observe

that the major market value indicators have been declining. This is
because the earnings are declining. So, there is a major problem with
earnings which should be improved and the Sales which should
increase.

• In view of the escalating gas and oil prices, we need to employ

alternative sources of energy. We are actively pursuing this option.

XV. Forecast & Future Outlook

With a very difficult year behind the company, the management has recently
taken the necessary steps to bring about material improvement in the
company's operations. The increased focus on line efficiencies improvement
and product rationalization, should lead to improved results in future.

Having understood the issues that the nation faces, the Dawood Lawrencepur
conceptualized on what role a traditionally textile driven company can play in
the energy sector. The more Dawood lawrencepur studied the clearer it
became that exploring opportunities in the renewable energy sector was
indeed not only possible but desirable. Therefore DAWOOD LAWRENCEPUR
focused on wind power, a global competitive and commercially viable solution
to generate power within everyone's reach.

XVI. Conclusion

The cotton textiles operations having become unsustainable on account of the

continuing losses and to arrest the decline in shareholders value, your

70
company has taken steps over the last 18 months to close down these
operations in stages. Whereas the textile operations and the polyester staple
fiber operations at Landhi were closed down during the year 2006-07, the
operations at Burewala had to be closed down in March 2008. Accordingly, all
closed down operations are classified under 'discontinued operations', as
required under the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 5 – “Non
Current Assets held for sale and Discontinued Operations'.
Due to this the companies sales will increase as the discontinued operations
was the major reason of the difficult year the company faced. The inflationary
pressures was also one of the reason for the losses the company suffered

Having understood the issues that the nation faces, at Dawood Lawrencepur
management conceptualized on what role a traditionally textile driven
company can play in the energy sector. The more we studied the clearer it
became that exploring opportunities in the renewable energy sector was
indeed not only possible but desirable. We therefore focused on wind power,
a global competitive and commercially viable solution to generate
power within everyone's reaches.
