DIRECTORS� REPORT

The Board of Directors of Engro Polymer & Chemicals Ltd. is pleased to present the unaudited accounts of theCompany for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Business Review

Domestic sales volume during 3Q 2008 was 22 thousand tons down from 25 thousand tons in 3Q 2007. This wasprimarily due to Eid and declining price trend which put the customers on a wait and see mode. Year to datedomestic sales were 78 thousand tons showing a growth of 5% over the corresponding period last year. Productionfor the nine months was a record 75 thousand tons, an increase of 12% over the same period last year.

Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) prices remained high initially but began to declinein mid-August due to the beginning of a recessionary trend affecting majority of the world economies. InternationalPVC prices fell from a peak of US$1270 per ton in July to US $995 in September. The PVC-VCM margin alsodeclined due to sharply dropping PVC prices.

The Profit after tax for 3Q 2008 was Rs.159 million as compared to Rs.126 million for 3Q 2007 and that for thenine months ended September 2008 was Rs. 586 million as against Rs. 308 million for corresponding period lastyear. The increase in profit was attributable to strong PVC-VCM margin.

Company’s expansion project for increasing PVC capacity by 50 thousand tons is as per schedule and is undercommissioning phase. The overall back integration project is also as per schedule and will come online by end ofsecond quarter 2009.

Near Future Outlook

Due to ongoing turmoil in global economies, international prices of PVC and VCM have significantly declined havinga negative impact on margins. The profitability in 4Q 2008 will be substantially under pressure due to compressionof PVC-VCM margin and high value inventory. In addition the ongoing power crisis and tight cash liquidity may alsoaggravate and result in lower domestic consumption of PVC resin.

ENGRO POLYMER & CHEMICALS LIMITED(Formerly ENGRO ASAHI POLYMER & CHEMICALS LIMITED)NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

1. LEGAL STATUS AND OPERATIONS

1.1 The Company was incorporated in Pakistan in 1997 under the Companies Ordinance 1984. In July 2008, the Companywas listed on Karachi Stock Exchange.

1.2 The Company is a subsidiary of Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited. The address of its registered office is 1st Floor, BahriaComplex I, M. T. Khan Road, Karachi. The Company’s principal activity is to manufacture, market and sell Poly VinylChloride (PVC), PVC compounds and other related chemicals.

1.3 In 2006, the Company commenced work on its expansion plan in respect of its existing capacity and backward integrationproject (the Project). The project’s total cost is estimated at US $ 240,000, which includes construction of Ethylene DiChloride, Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM), Chlor Alkali and Power Utilities plants. The new plants are being setup adjacentto the Company’s existing PVC facilities in the Port Qasim Industrial Area.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and are being submitted to the shareholders in accordancewith section 245 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and have been presented in condensed form in accordance with therequirements of International Accounting Standard 34 – ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as thoseapplied in the preparation of the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31,2007, except for the following accounting policy in respect of derivative financial instruments and hedging as well asemployee share option scheme adopted during the period ended September 30, 2008.

Derivatives financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequentlyremeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative isdesignated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certainderivatives as either:

(a) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or

(b) hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).

The overall risk management strategy includes reasons for undertaking hedge transactions and entering into derivatives.The objectives of this strategy are to:

– minimize foreign currency exposure’s impact on the Company’s financial performance; and

– protect the Company’s cash flow from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

(a) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the profit and loss account, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that areattributable to the hedged risk.

(Amounts in thousand)

Page 11: Report for the Quarter and Nine Months ended September 30 ... · Report for the Quarter and Nine Months ended September 30, 2008. Nine Months Report – September 2008 ... Habib Bank

(b) Cash flow hedge

On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsettingchanges in the cash flows of hedged items. If and when a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective,hedge accounting is discontinued.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedgesis recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the profitand loss account or the cost of the related non-financial asset (for e.g. inventory or fixed assets), as applicable.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the profit and loss account in the periods when the hedgeditem affects profit or loss account i.e. when the transaction occurs. The gain or loss relating to the effectiveportion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the profit and loss account orthe cost of the related asset for which the borrowing is being utilised. However, when the forecast transactionthat is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for e.g. inventory or fixed assets) the gainsand losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement ofthe cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in cost of goods sold in case of inventoryor in depreciation in case of fixed assets.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, anycumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transactionis ultimately recognised in the profit and loss account or the cost of the related non-financial asset (for e.g. inventory orfixed assets) as applicable. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss thatwas reported in equity is immediately transferred to the profit and loss account.

The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 10. Movements on thehedging reserve are shown in statement of changes in equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as anon-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current assetor liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as acurrent asset or liability.

Employees’ Share Option Scheme

The grant date fair value of equity settled share based payments to employees is initially recognised in the balance sheetas deferred employee compensation expense with a consequent credit to equity as deferred employee compensation reserve.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is recognised as an employeecompensation expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

When an unvested option lapses by virtue of an employee not conforming to the vesting conditions after recognition of anemployee compensation expense in profit or loss, employee compensation expense in profit or loss will be reversed equalto the amortised portion with a corresponding effect to deferred employee compensation reserve in the balance sheet.

When a vested option lapses on expiry of the exercise period, employee compensation expense already recognised in theprofit or loss is reversed with a corresponding reduction to deferred employee compensation reserve in the balance sheet.

When the options are exercised, deferred employee compensation reserve relating to these options is transferred to sharecapital and share premium account. An amount equivalent to the face value of related shares is transferred to share capital. Any amount over and above the share capital is transferred to share premium account.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and are being submitted to the shareholders in accordancewith section 245 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and have been presented in condensed form in accordance with therequirements of International Accounting Standard 34 – ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as thoseapplied in the preparation of the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31,2007, except for the following accounting policy in respect of derivative financial instruments and hedging as well asemployees share option scheme adopted during the period ended September 30, 2008.

Derivatives financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequentlyremeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative isdesignated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certainderivatives as either:

(a) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or

(b) hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).

The overall risk management strategy includes reasons for undertaking hedge transactions and entering into derivatives.The objectives of this strategy are to:

– minimize foreign currency exposure’s impact on the Company’s financial performance; and

– protect the Company’s cash flow from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

(a) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the profit and loss account, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that areattributable to the hedged risk.

(Amounts in thousand)

Page 25: Report for the Quarter and Nine Months ended September 30 ... · Report for the Quarter and Nine Months ended September 30, 2008. Nine Months Report – September 2008 ... Habib Bank

(b) Cash flow hedge

On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsettingchanges in the cash flows of hedged items. If and when a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective,hedge accounting is discontinued.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedgesis recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the profitand loss account or the cost of the related non-financial asset (for e.g. inventory or fixed assets), as applicable.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the profit and loss account in the periods when the hedgeditem affects profit or loss account i.e. when the transaction occurs. The gain or loss relating to the effectiveportion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the profit and loss account orthe cost of the related asset for which the borrowing is being utilised. However, when the forecast transactionthat is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for e.g. inventory or fixed assets) the gainsand losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement ofthe cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in cost of goods sold in case of inventoryor in depreciation in case of fixed assets.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, anycumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transactionis ultimately recognised in the profit and loss account or the cost of the related non-financial asset (for e.g. inventory orfixed assets) as applicable. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss thatwas reported in equity is immediately transferred to the profit and loss account.

The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 10. Movements on thehedging reserve are shown in statement of changes in equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as anon-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current assetor liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as acurrent asset or liability.

Employees’ Share Option Scheme

The grant date fair value of equity settled share based payments to employees is initially recognised in the balance sheetas deferred employee compensation expense with a consequent credit to equity as deferred employee compensation reserve.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is recognised as an employeecompensation expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

When an unvested option lapses by virtue of an employee not conforming to the vesting conditions after recognition of anemployee compensation expense in profit or loss, employee compensation expense in profit or loss will be reversed equalto the amortised portion with a corresponding effect to deferred employee compensation reserve in the balance sheet.

When a vested option lapses on expiry of the exercise period, employee compensation expense already recognised in theprofit or loss is reversed with a corresponding reduction to deferred employee compensation reserve in the balance sheet.

When the options are exercised, deferred employee compensation reserve relating to these options is transferred to sharecapital and share premium account. An amount equivalent to the face value of related shares is transferred to share capital.Any amount over and above the share capital is transferred to share premium account.
