NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
1. THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

Nishat Mills Limited is a public company incorporated in Pakistan under the Companies Act, 1913 (Now Companies Ordinance, 1984) and listed on Stock Exchanges in Pakistan.

Its registered office is situated at 53-A, Lawrence Road, Lahore. The company is engaged in the business of textile manufacturing and of spinning, combing, weaving, bleaching, dyeing, printing, stitching, buying, selling and otherwise dealing in yarn, linen, cloth and other goods and fabrics made from raw cotton, synthetic fibre and cloth, and to generate, accumulate, distribute and supply electricity.

The Lahore High Court sanctioned the scheme of arrangement for Amalgamation of Umer Fabrics Limited with the company and Nishat (Chunian) Limited with effect from 01 October 2004.

According to the scheme of arrangement, members of Umer Fabrics Limited are receiving 94.90 ordinary shares of Rupees 10 each of Nishat Mills Limited and 5.10 ordinary shares of Rupees 10 each of Nishat (Chunian) Limited for each 100 shares held in Umer Fabrics Limited.

These financial statements have been prepared on uniting of interest basis in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 22 "Business Combination".
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

These financial statements have been prepared in Pak Rupees under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of equity investments as stated in note 2.8.

2.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984.

Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Accounting Standards as notified under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984.

Wherever, the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) differ with the requirements of these standards, the requirements of Companies Ordinance, 1984 or the requirements of the said directives take precedence.

The SECP has substituted the fourth schedule to the Companies Ordinance, 1984 vide notification No. 589(1)/2004 dated 05 July 2004.

Due to this, accounting policies regarding recognition of proposed dividend subsequent to the year's end, capitalisation of the exchange differences (note 2.5) and recognition and amortization of deferred cost (note 2.10) have been changed accordingly.

In the previous years, proposed dividend after the balance sheet date was recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date.

As per new policy, the dividends declared after the balance sheet date are considered as non-adjusting event and are not recognised in the financial statements.

Had there been no change in this accounting policy, the comparative figures of un-appropriated profit and current liabilities would have been lower and higher respectively by Rupees 244.958 million.

However, there is no impact of this change on the results of current period.

2.3. STAFF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The company operates an approved funded provident fund scheme covering all permanent employees.

Equal monthly contributions are made both by the company and employees at the rate of 9.5 percent of the basic salary to the fund.

2.4. TAXATION

Current

The company falls in the ambit of presumptive tax regime under section 169 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

Provision for income tax is made in the accounts accordingly. However, provision for tax on other income is based on taxable income at the current rates after considering the rebates and tax credits available, if any.

Deferred

Deferred tax is accounted for by using the liability method on all timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax base.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. The company recognizes deferred tax assets on all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.

2.5. FOREIGN CURRENCY

All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pak Rupees at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date or at the contracted rates while foreign currency transactions are initially recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction date or at the contracted rates.

Exchange risk fee is charged to profit and loss account. From the current period, the company charges all the exchange differences to profit and loss account.

Previously, exchange differences on loans utilised for the acquisition of fixed assets were capitalised and all other exchange differences were charged to income.

This change in accounting policy has no effect on the amounts reported for the current period. Quantification and adjustments in respect of opening balances were impracticable.

2.6. OPERATING FIXED ASSETS, DEPRECIATION AND CAPITAL WORK-IN-PROGRESS

Operating fixed assets except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Capital work-in-progress and freehold land are stated at cost less impairment loss, if any.

Cost of operating fixed assets consists of historical cost, applicable exchange differences (up to 30 September 2004) and directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to working condition.

Borrowing cost pertaining to the construction/erection period is also capitalized as part of historical cost.

Depreciation is charged to income applying the reducing balance method at the rates given in note 12.1 to write off the cost of operating fixed assets including the related exchange differences over their expected useful life.

No depreciation is charged on assets deleted during the year. Full year's depreciation is charged on additions except major additions or extensions to production facilities, which are depreciated on pro-rata basis for the period of use during the year.

Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to income as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalised.

Gain or loss on disposal of operating fixed assets is recognized in profit and loss account.

2.7. ASSETS SUBJECT TO FINANCE LEASE

These are stated at lower of present value of minimum lease payments under the lease agreements and the fair value of assets acquired on lease.

Aggregate amount of obligation relating to assets subject to finance lease is accounted for at net present value of liabilities.

Assets so acquired are amortised over their expected useful life at the rates mentioned in note 12.2.

2.8. INVESTMENTS

Investments are initially recognised on trade-date at cost, comprising of consideration paid and cost of transaction.

For listed securities, closing quotations of stock exchanges on last working day of the accounting year are considered for determining fair value, while for unquoted securities, fair value is determined considering break-up value of the securities.

Its classification is made on the basis of intended purpose for holding such investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation on regular basis and presents in the balance sheet on the following basis:

Held-to-Maturity

These are stated at amortized cost less impairment loss, if any, recognized to reflect irrecoverable amounts. Impairment losses are charged to profit and loss account.

Held-for-Trading

These are recognized at fair value and changes in carrying values are included in profit and loss account.

These are valued at cost calculated on moving average basis except goods-in-transit which are valued at cost.

2.10. DEFERRED COSTS

These are amortised over a period of five years from the year of occurrence. During the period, the company has changed its accounting policy regarding recognition of deferred cost to comply with Circular No 1 of 2005 dated January 19, 2005 issued by the SECP.

As per new policy, no cost shall be recorded as deferred cost after this change. There is no impact of this change in accounting policy on profit and loss account for the current period.

2.11. BORROWING COST

Interest, mark-up and other charges on long-term liabilities are capitalized up to the date of commissioning of respective fixed assets acquired out of the proceeds of such long term liabilities.

37. AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements were approved and authorised by the board of directors for issue on September 19, 2005.
38. FIGURES

* Comparative figures have been re-arranged, wherever necessary, for the purpose of comparison.

Comparative figures of balance sheet and statement of changes in equity have been re-arranged due to merger of Umer Fabrics Limited, change in accounting policy (note 2.2) and certain revisions necessitated by revised Fourth Schedule to the Companies Ordinance, 1984.

However, in case of merger, the comparative figures of profit and loss account and cash flow statement could not be restated due to the problem of divisibility between Nishat Mills Limited and Nishat (Chunian) Limited.

* The financial statements have been prepared for the period of nine months from 01 October 2004 to June 30, 2005 due to change of accounting year under legislature.

Therefore, the comparative figures in profit and loss account, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity are not comparable to the current period.

* Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand of Rupees.
