10. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

CONTINGENCIES

10.1. Claims, including pending lawsuits, against the Company not acknowledged as debts amounted to Rs. 57,202 (2002: Rs. 82,575).

10.2. Corporate guarantee of Rs. 305,418 has been issued to a bank in favour of Engro Eximp (Private) Limited, (a subsidiary company).

10.3. The Company is contesting the penalty of Rs. 99,936 paid and expensed in 1997, imposed by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for alleged late payment of forward exchange risk cover fee on long term loans and has filed a suit in the High Court of Sindh.

A partial refund of Rs. 62,618 was, however, recovered in 1999 from SBP and the recovery of the balance amount is dependent on Court�s decision.

10.4. The Company had commenced two separate arbitration proceedings against the Government of Pakistan for non-payment of marketing incidentals relating to the years 1983-84 and 1985-86 respectively.

The sole arbitrator in the second case has awarded the Company Rs. 47,800 and it is hoped that the award for the earlier years will be announced shortly.

The award for the second arbitration has not been recognised due to inherent uncertainties arising from its challenge in the High Court.

11.2. The Collector of Customs had disallowed exemption from custom duty and sales tax amounting to Rs. 48,236 in prior years in respect of first catalyst and other items being part and parcel of the expansion plant on the contention that these items do not fall under the definition of �plant and machinery� which is exempt under the relevant SRO.

The Company challenged the Department�s contention through a constitutional petition in the High Court of Sindh which stayed the recovery of the amount claimed and in December 1994 decided the petition in favour of the Company.

The Department filed a petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court which was granted on October 26, 1996.

The case is now being fixed for regular hearing of the main appeal. The Company�s management is of the view that the Supreme Court will uphold the decision of the High Court and as such has not made any provision of the aforesaid amount in the accounts.

Payments, without prejudice and under protest, totalling Rs. 22,207 made in 1994 to the Department during the tendency of the petition in the High Court on their contention, interalia, that the stay order had expired have been shown as receivable (note 20).

29.1. The income tax assessments of the Company have been finalised upto and including the income year ended December 31, 1999.

However, the assessment orders for 1998 and 1999 have been set aside by the appellate authority. For the income years from 1995 to 1997, the tax authorities have raised an additional demand of Rs. 211,155 net of necessary rectifications, appeals against which have been filed by the Company with the appellate authorities.

This demand primarily relates to the pro-ration of allocable expenses between manufacturing and trading businesses, on which there is inconsistency in the assessment orders passed by the tax authorities for different income years.

The Company�s management is confident that the issue will be ultimately resolved without any additional liability and therefore, no additional tax charge relating to prior years has been recognised in the current year.
