FOREWORD

 
United we stayed right from the word “go”. Devotion and coordination is what made this
task happen. Though it was tiresome sometimes but it was our eagerness to prove
something which kept us going on and on. And finally we have been able to reach at a
point where we can say with all our enthusiasm that “yes, we did it!”
For a blessed soil like ours, the worth of a fertilizer company became a motive behind our
selection of Engro Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. and Fauji Fertilizer Company for comparison

purposes. Our research revealed to us that Engro Chemicals Ltd. holds a stronger position
as compared to its counterpart. And ratio analysis also supports the fact discussed earlier.

Tables and graphs are also included to make this comparison more clear and to enhance
the understanding of the numerical figures attained from ratio analysis.

We have put our heart and soul to hold a fair comparison but there is always a room for
improvement. So we are quite right to adopt an optimistic approach to believe that Mrs.
Labiba Sheikh will ignore our mere mistakes, if found, because “to err is human”.

THE ORGANIZATION CONCERNED

Engro Chemical Pakistan Ltd.


 

Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited is a fertilizer company which is of their concern that
has been introduced right below. They are going to make a full-fledge financial analysis
of this fertilizer company in order to check its financial situation in the market. The
analysis of each and every major ratio has been involved in this financial analysis. Then
furthermore the interpretation of each and every ratio has been given to elaborate it.

An Overview
Search for oil by Pak Stanvac, an Esso/Mobil joint venture in 1957, led to the discovery
Of Mari gas field situated near Daharki -- a small town in upper Sindh province. Esso
was the first to study this development in detail and propose the establishment of a urea
plant in that area.

The proposal was approved by the government in 1964, which led to a fertilizer plant
agreement signed in December that year. Subsequently in 1965, the Esso Pakistan
Fertilizer Company Limited was incorporated, with 75% of the shares owned by Esso and
25% by the general public. The construction of a urea plant commenced at Daharki the
following year with the annual capacity of 173,000 tons and production commenced in
1968. At US $ 43 million, it was the single largest foreign investment by an MNC in the
country.

A full-fledged marketing organization was established which undertook agronomic


programs to educate the farmers of Pakistan. As the nation’s first fertilizer brand, Engro
(then Esso) helped modernize traditional farming practices to boost farm yields, directly
impacting the quality of life not only for farmers and their families, but for the
community at large. As a result of these efforts, consumption of fertilizers increased in
Pakistan, paving the way for the Company’s branded urea called "Engro", an acronym for
"Energy for Growth".

As part of an international name change program, Esso became Exxon in 1978 and the
company was renamed Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited. The company continued to
prosper as it relentlessly pursued productivity gains and strived to attain professional
excellence.

In 1991, Exxon decided to divest its fertilizer business on a global basis. The employees
of Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited, in partnership with leading international and local
financial institutions bought out Exxon’s 75 percent equity. This was at the time and
perhaps still is the most successful employee buy-out in the corporate history of Pakistan.
Renamed as Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited, the Company has gone from strength to
strength, reflected in its consistent financial performance, growth of the core fertilizer
business and diversification into other fields.

Investment in people, process solutions and resource conservation initiatives has reduced
energy use per ton of urea by a third, whilst increasing urea production nearly six-fold
since 1968. Not only does this save money, it stretches non-renewable energy sources
and mitigates the impact of waste. Along the way, a major milestone in plant capacity
upgrade coincided with the employee led buy-out; innovatively optimizing our resources,
Engro re-located fertilizer manufacturing plants from the UK and US to its Daharki plant
site – an international first. Our pioneering spirit continues in our social investments,
exemplified by the only snake-bite treatment facility in the Ghotki region and the first
telemedicine intervention in the country.

Vision

"To be the premier Pakistani enterprise with a global reach, passionately pursuing value
creation for all stakeholders."

 
 

Our Diverse Colors of Excellence

Our Businesses

The years since Exxon became Engro have been both exciting and rewarding for the
Organization and its people. Challenges have been overcome, goals achieved and new
goals set. Engro today stands recognized as a successful business operation and a role
model for doing business in Pakistan.

Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited

The Company’s current manufacturing base includes urea name plate capacity of 975,000
tons per annum and blended fertilizer (NPK) capacity of 160,000 tons per year. A
premier brand and nationwide presence ensure sellout production. Additionally, the
company imports and sells phosphatic fertilizers for balanced fertility and improved farm
yields. Engro’s share of Pakistan’s phosphates market mirrors or exceeds its urea market
share.

Expansion plans include a new urea plant of 1.3 million tons annual capacity, also at
Daharki. The US$ 1 billion project is well underway and on track for commercial
production in mid 2010. This addition will increase Engro’s urea market share to 35%
from 19% at present.

 
 

Engro Vopak Terminal Limited

50:50 Joint Ventures with Royal Vopak - a Netherlands based global leader in terminal
operations. EVTL operates a bulk liquid chemical terminal at Port Qasim, Karachi. It has
an impeccable safety record of handling a range of chemicals and LPG for over 10 years.

EVTL is building Pakistan’s first cryogenic Ethylene storage facility and expects to be
ready by early 2009. Given its experience with gasses, cryogenics, a brown field location
and international operating standards, EVTL is well-positioned to build a LNG terminal,
being pursued by the Government of Pakistan.

Engro Polymer and Chemicals Ltd.


EPCL is undergoing expansion involving PVC production increase of 50,000 tones
(current capacity: 100,000 tons p.a. and back integration through setting up of an
EDC/VCM plant and a Chlor alkali plant. These initiatives are expected to conclude in
phases by first half of 2009. At Port Qasim, this 56% Engro owned Company is involved
in manufacturing, marketing and selling Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).

Avanceon

A 63% owned subsidiary of Engro, EIAL is the leading global automation business,
providing process & control solutions. It also offers Power & Energy Management
software solutions as well as High-End software that integrate production and business
applications. Previously operating in Pakistan and UAE, they have now penetrated in the
USA market with the merger of ENGRO Innovative and Advance Automation. Advance
Automation is an award winning technology solutions provider to manufacturers in North
American and has been awarded as the System Integrator of the Year 2007 by Control
Engineering.

Synchronizing to a single brand worldwide with all the engineering Standards, processes,
brand identity and global brand recognition was a huge task and due to various different
cultural factors it was even complex then perceived.

After days of hard work AVANCEON emerged as the new name and the true Global
Automation Player. The new company name will help to reinforce the single brand
identity that has emerged over the last 16 days as the two formerly separate companies
have successfully worked to become a single global enterprise.

Engro Foods Limited (EFL)

Engro Foods, a wholly owned subsidiary had its first full year of operations in 2007. The
Company continued expanding with additions to brand portfolio, milk production and
distribution capacities.

The portfolio now includes four impressive brands; Olper's milk, Olper’s cream, Olwell
and Tarang. Olper’s market share peaked at 17% during 2007. EFL operates two
dairy processing factories located in Sukkur, and Sahiwal. The company’s milk collection
network now boasts over 700 village milk collectors and 400 milk collection centers.
Covering 2400 villages across Pakistan, the activities of the Company touch the lives of
almost 51,000 farmers.

An exciting new venture is the diversification of dairy portfolio into ice cream. Work has
commenced full throttle for detailed engineering and market study with a view to launch
of first ice cream in 2009. Also on EFL slate is the establishment of a dairy farm with
milking expected to start in second quarter 2009.

In 2007, the Management Committee undertook a review of major financial and operating risks faced by the
business.

Internal Control Framework

Responsibility: The Board is ultimately responsible for Engro’s system of internal control and for reviewing its
effectiveness. However, such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve
business objectives, and can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or
loss.
The Board, whilst maintaining its overall responsibility for managing risk within the Company, has delegated the
detailed design and operation of the system of internal controls to the Chief Executive

Framework: The Company maintains an established control framework comprising clear structures, authority
limits, and accountabilities, well-understood policies and procedures and budgeting and review processes.

The Board establishes corporate strategy and the Company’s business objectives. Divisional management integrates
these objectives into divisional business strategies with supporting financial objectives. All policies and control
procedures are documented in manuals

Review: The Board meets quarterly to consider Engro’s financial performance, financial and operating budgets and
forecasts, business growth and development plans, capital expenditure proposals and other key performance
indicators.
The Board Audit Committee receives reports on the system of internal financial controls from the external and
internal auditors and reviews the process for monitoring the effectiveness of internal controls.

There is a company wide policy governing appraisal and approval of investment expenditure and asset disposals.
Post completion reviews are performed on all material investment expenditure.

Audit: Engro has an Internal Audit function. The Board Audit Committee annually reviews the appropriateness of
resources and authority of this function. The Head of Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee on the
results of its work.
The Internal Audit function carries out reviews on the financial, operational and compliance controls, and reports on
findings to the Chief Executive and the divisional management. All material issues are reported to the Board Audit
Committee which approves the audit program, based on an annual risk assessment of the operating areas. To
underpin the effectiveness of controls, it is Engro’s policy to attract, retain and develop staff of high caliber and
integrity in appropriate disciplines. There is an annual appraisal process, which assesses employee performance
against agreed objectives and identifies necessary training to maintain and enhance standards of performance.
