4.10. RAW MATERIALSThe Company is importing low carbon steel billets from China. However it is expected thatsteel billets from Pakistan Steel Mills Ltd. will also be sourced depending on domesticavailability. These low carbon steel billets are also available from Turkey, Ukraine, Indiaand Russia on competitive terms. With the installation of patented Thermex quenchingwater treatment facility, the Company will have an advantage of being able to use cheaperlow carbon steel billets. At present, no bar mill in Pakistan has this online bar quenchingfacility. The recent Free Trade Agreement between Pakistan and China will facilitate aneasier and cheaper source of steel billets. The import of raw materials will be subjected toan import duty of 5 percent. The Company has arranged a storage facility with mechanicaloverhead cranes of 25 tons capacity within the factory premises to store imported steelbillets.

4.11. TARGET MARKET AND SALES STRATEGYThe Company sees itself as an engine of change in the steel bar industry in pakistan. Itaims to market its products to quality conscious customers for the construction of high risebuildings, dams, highways, bridges and flyovers. In the next three years, the Company alsointends to start a chain of cut-and-bend service centers to provide a one-stop shop for readyto erect rebar. This will facilitate substantial saving of cost and time of over 5-15 percentand improve concreting time by civil construction agencies, thereby reducing the time from20 days per roof to 4 days per roof.The company will also take steps to educate the structural engineers, consultants andbuilders to the advantages of seismic friendly high-strength deformed bars that are standardall over the world This will be achieved by holding regular seminars, workshops andinformation dissemination activities. Further, a revised building code has been drawn upby NESPAK to be enforced all over the country. Partial enforcement of the revised buildingcode has already been achieved in Islamabad and parts of Northern Areas.

The quality of the produced bar is controlled by an automatic computerized online qualitycontrol system. The quality of the finished bar can be accessed online by the buyer for thepurchased lot. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software has been installed to enablethe buyer to place order and monitor the lot-wise product ion results.

4.12. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGYThe company already has online e-sales ERP software in operation whereby the rebarbuyer can register on the internet, make bar grade selection, place order, raise an invoiceand pay online from any bank in Pakistan. The ordered goods can also be tracked onlinefrom dispatch to delivery. A cash management mandate is being negotiated with three banksto manage the online sale proceeds on a daily basis. This system will be integrated withthe ERP software.

The ERP software enables the company to integrate operations at the mill with themanagement at the Head Office in Karachi and the marketing offices if different locationsof the country. The different modules that are being used to carry out business processesare manufacturing, purchase, sales, payments and human resource management. TheERP software in use within the group has been licensed for a period of six years and hasbeen benchmarked with SAP and Oracle, the two best known global enterprise softwarecompanies.

4.14. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors which may affect the returns on the investment in the Companyshould be considered carefully before making any investment decision:

(a) Capital Market Risk: All capital market investments are subject to market fluctuationsthat arise due to the demand and supply for scrips. Market dips do not necessarilyimply that the Company is fundamentally unsound, and the long term market trend isan upward one.

(b) Economic Risk: An individual company, operating within an individual sector, may beadversely affected by declining macroeconomic performance of the country. This riskis mitigated by the present bright macroeconomic prospects of the country, with GDPgrowth in excess of 7% expected .

(c) Regulatory Risk: The imposition/ enhancement of duties, taxes and other levies remaina possibility. This risk is mitigated by the GOP’s track record of pro-business policies.

Prospectus

(d) Market competition: The Company may face competition from new market entrants and fromexisting competitors. However, since the re-bar manufacturing plant is being designed, suppliedand the project monitored by SIEMENS VAI Metal Technologies srl.(formerly VAI POMINI s.r.l),one of the most renowned global steel mill suppliers and this bar mill is as modern as any othermodern bar mill being set up in any part of the world. For this reason it is expected that it willhave an edge over its rivals in the country.

(e) Disruption in Supply of Raw Material: The Company is vulnerable to geo-political conditions,foreign exchange fluctuations, and regulatory regime governing Pakistan and exporting countries.This risk is mitigated by the diversity of potential sources of domestic and global sources ofsteel Billets and entry of China as a global surplus producer of steel and a supplier of steelinto the international market.

(f) Foreign Exchange Risk: As the Company intend to source a majority of its raw material fromabroad, the Company could be adversely affected by depreciation of the Pakistani Rupeeagainst the currencies of exporting countries. However this is mitigated by the fact the entiresteel industry in Pakistan is import dependent and no steel making raw material is availablein the country. The company is therefore in level with any other player in the country includingPakistan Steel.

(g) Performance Risk: The success of the Company depends in large part on the ability of themanagement to effectively procure, operate its plant and maintain its capacity utilization througheffective marketing of its products and quality management.

(h) Operational Risk: In case of cost overruns, implementation delays, adverse change in localsteel demand, inability of the Company to grow its sales, this could lead to the Company’sbankruptcy/ liquidation. In case of liquidation, investors would be eligible to receive liquidationproceeds only after obligations to each of the Company’s creditors have been paid in full.

(i) Liquidity Risk: The investors assume the risk that they will not be able to sell the ordinaryshares in the secondary market without adversely affecting the market price. Ordinary sharesare proposed to be listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange which would enable the investor toundertake secondary market trading.

(j) Inflationary Risk: The Company’s operation in the steel sector could face an inflationary impactas with all other sectors of the economy. Higher inflation rates can affect capital markets, butthis phenomenon is mitigated, to some extent, by the State Bank of Pakistan, as it takes stepsnecessary to curb inflation.

(k) Business Risk: The profitability of the plant is dependent on the demand for Company’sproducts. Robust demand growth can be expected due to the recent developments in thehousing sector and upcoming large-scale infrastructure projects by the Government and thegrowing awareness of the deformed steel bar and the promulgation of the new deformed steelbar standard by the PSQCA throughout the country.

It is stated that all material risk factors with respect to this issue have been disclosed andthat nothing has been concealed.

Consequent to withdrawal of Technical Release – 20 “Accounting for Expenditure DuringConstruction Period (Reformatted – 2000)” (TR – 20) issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants in Pakistan, the accounting policy in respect of pre-commencementexpenditure has been changed. Previously, expenditure incurred by a company in prior tocommencement of commercial operations was deferred up till the commencement ofcommercial operations and was being allocated to the cost of land, building and plant andmachinery. Now, the expenditure incurred prior to commencement of commercialproduction is classified into direct cost attributable to the cost of asset or capital work-in-progress and indirect cost. Direct cost is allocated to respective asset’s cost and indirectcost is charged to profit and loss account in the period in which it is incurred. The abovechange has been accounted for in accordance with the requirements of InternationalAccounting Standard – 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes and Accounting Estimates andErrors”. Comparative information has been restated where ever necessary.

Had the policy not been changed, the loss for the year would have reduced by Rs. 3.965million.
