(Amounts in thousand)
1. LEGAL STATUS AND OPERATIONS

Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited (the Company) is a public listed company incorporated in Pakistan under the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and its shares are quoted on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad stock exchanges of Pakistan. The principal activity of the Company is manufacturing, purchasing and marketing of fertilizers. The Company has also invested in joint ventures and other entities engaged in chemical terminal and storage, PVC resin manufacturing and marketing, control and automation, food and energy businesses. The Company's registered office is situated at 7th & 8th Floors, The Harbor Front Building, HC # 3, Block 4, Marine Drive, Clifton, Karachi.
1.1. The Board of Directors in their meeting of April 28, 2009 decided to divide the Company into two companies by separating its fertilizer undertaking from the rest of the undertaking that is to be retained in the Company. In this regard, a wholly owned subsidiary namely Engro Fertilizers Limited was incorporated on June 29, 2009. The division was to be effected through a Scheme of Arrangement under Section 284 to 288 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 whereby (a) the fertilizer undertaking would be transferred and vested in Engro Fertilizers Limited against the issuance of ordinary shares of Engro Fertilizers Limited to the Company; (b) the retention of the retained undertaking in the Company and the change of the name of the Company to Engro Corporation Limited. Engro Corporation Limited would then become a Holding Company and oversee the business of new fertilizer subsidiary as well as business of its other existing subsidiariesssociates.

The de-merger required the approval of the High Court of Sindh. After obtaining the requisite approvals from the creditors and the shareholders of the Company, the High Court approved the Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme) on December 9, 2009. The Scheme came into effect on January 1, 2010 (Effective Date).

In accordance with the Scheme, the fertilizer business, including all assets, liabilities, agreements, arrangements and other matters were automatically be transferred to Engro Fertilizers Limited on the Effective Date against the issuance of 9,999,993, in addition to existing 7, fully paid ordinary shares of Rs. 10 each plus the share premium. Such share premium is to be based on the net assets so transferred over Rs. 100,000 being the paid up face value of Engro Fertilizers Limited.

The retained undertaking comprises of specific assets and liabilities as of the aforementioned effective dates identified in the Scheme, which among other items include Investments/Shareholdings, Joint Venture Agreements, all reserves including goodwill, employee share option compensation reserve, share premium, capital & revenue reserves but excluding hedging reserve.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1. Basis of preparation

2.1.1. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for remeasurement of certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and derivative hedging instruments at fair value.
2.1.2. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (the Ordinance), directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and approved financial reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved financial reporting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the provisions of the Ordinance. Wherever, the requirements of the Ordinance or directives issued by the SECP differ with the requirements of these standards, the requirements of the Ordinance and of the said directives have been followed.
2.1.3. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the above requirements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity. or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
2.1.4. Initial application of standards, amendments or an interpretation to existing standards

a).Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective in 2009 and are relevant to the Company

�.IAS 1 (revised), 'Presentation of financial statements' (effective from January 1, 2009). The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, 'non-owner changes in equity') in the statement of changes in equity, requiring 'non-owner changes in equity' to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity are required to be shown in a performance statement, but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income). Where entities restate or reclassify comparative information, they are required to present a restated balance sheet as at the beginning of comparative period in addition to the current requirement to present balance sheets at the end of the current period and comparative period.

The Company has preferred to present two statements; a profit and loss account (income statement) and a statement of other comprehensive income. Comparative information has also been represented so that it is in conformity with the revised standard. As this change only impacts presentation aspects, there is no impact on profit for the year.

Further, the Company has restated comparative information to incorporate the effect of change in fair values of cash flow hedges, as more fully explained in note 19. However, as the aforementioned change does not effect the balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period (balance sheet as at January 1, 2008 / December 31, 2007), it has not been presented in these financial statements.

�.IAS 23 (amendment), 'Borrowing costs' (effective from January 1, 2009). The amendment requires an entity to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs is removed. The Company's current accounting policy is in compliance with this amendment, and therefore there is no effect on the Company's financial statements.

�.IFRS 2 (amendment), 'Share-based payment' (effective from January 1, 2009). The amended standard deals with vesting conditions and cancellations. It clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a share-based payment are not vesting conditions. As such these features would need to be included in the grant date fair value for transactions with employees and others providing similar services, that is, these features would not impact the number of awards expected to vest or valuation thereof subsequent to grant date. All cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment.

�.The SECP vide S.R.O. 411 (1) / 2008 dated April 28, 2008 notified the adoption of IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures'. IFRS 7 is mandatory for Company's accounting periods beginning on or after the date of notification i.e. April 28, 2008. IFRS 7 has superseded IAS 30 and disclosure requirements of IAS 32. As IFRS 7 deals only with disclosures, there is no impact on profit for the year.

�.IFRS 7 Financial instruments - Disclosures' (amendment) - effective January 1, 2009. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of the fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. As the change in accounting policy only results in additional disclosures, there is no impact on profit for the year.

�.IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' (effective from January 1, 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14, 'Segment reporting'. The new standard requires a 'management approach', under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes, and introduces detailed disclosures regarding the reportable segments and products. There is no impact of the new standard on the Company's financial statements.
b).Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective in 2009 but not relevant to the Company

The other new standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009 are considered not to be relevant or to have any significant effect on the Company's financial reporting and operations.
c).Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company

�.IAS 1 (amendment), 'Presentation of financial statements'. The amendment is part of the IASB's annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment provides clarification that the potential settlement of a liability by the issue of equity is not relevant to its classification as current or non current. By amending the definition of current liability, the amendment permits a liability to be classified as non current (provided that the entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement by transfer of cash or other assets for at least 12 months after the accounting period) notwithstanding the fact that the entity could be required by the counterparty to settle in shares at any time. The Company will apply IAS 1 (amendment) from January 1, 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

�.IAS 27 (revised), 'Consolidated and separate financial statements. (effective from July 1, 2009). The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The Company will apply IAS 27 (revised) prospectively to transactions with non-controlling interests from January 1. 2010.

�.IAS 38 (amendment), 'Intangible assets'. The amendment is part of the IASB's annual improvements project published in April 2009 and the Company will apply IAS 38 (amendment) from the date IFRS 3 (revised) is adopted. The amendment clarifies guidance in measuring the fair value of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination and it permits the grouping of intangible assets as a single asset if each asset has similar useful economic lives. The amendment will not result in any impact on the Company's financial statements.

�.IAS 39 (amendment); 'Cash flow hedge accounting'. This amendment provides clarification when to recognise gains or losses on hedging instruments as a reclassification adjustments in a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction that results subsequently in the recognition of a financial instrument. The amendment clarifies that gains or losses should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the period in which the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss. The Company will apply IAS 39 (amendment) from January 1, 2010. It is not expected to have any significant affect on the Company's financial statements.

�.IFRS 2 (amendments). 'Group cash-settled and share-based payment transactions in addition to incorporating IFRIC 8, 'Scope of IFRS 2', and IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and treasury share transactions', the amendments expand on the guidance in IFRIC 11 to address the classification of the Company's arrangements that were not covered by that interpretation. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

�.IFRS 3 (revised), 'Business combinations' (effective from July 1, 2009). The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquire at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Company will apply IFRS 3 (revised) prospectively to all business combinations from January 1, 2010.

�.IFRS 5 (amendment), 'Measurement of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held-for-sale'. The amendment is part of the IASB's annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment provides clarification that IFRS 5 specifies the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. It also clarifies that the general requirement of IAS 1 still apply, particularly paragraph 15 (to achieve a fair presentation) and paragraph 125 (sources of estimation uncertainty) of AS 1. The Company will apply IFRS 5 (amendment) from January 1, 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

�.IFRIC 17, 'Distribution of non-cash assets to owners' (effective on or after July 1, 2009). The interpretation is part of the IASB's annual improvements project published in April 2009. This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. IFRS 5 has also been amended to require that assets are classified as held for distribution only when they are available for distribution in their present condition and the distribution is highly probable. The Company will apply IFRIC 17 from January 1, 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

�.IFRIC 18, 'Transfers of assets from customers' (effective for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The interpretation provides guidance on how to account for items of property, plant and equipment received from customers or cash that is received and used to acquire or construct specific assets. This interpretation is only applicable to such assets that are used to connect the customer to a network or to provide ongoing access to a supply of goods or services or both. This interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

There are a number of minor amendments in other IFRS and IAS which are part of annual improvement project published in April 2009 (not addressed above). These amendments are unlikely to have any impact on the Company's financial statements and therefore have not been analysed in detail.
2.2. Property, plant and equipment

2.2.1. Owned assets.

These are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any, except freehold land and capital work in progress which are stated at cost. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items including borrowing costs (note 2.24). The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

Where major components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Disposal of asset is recognised when significant risk and rewards incidental to ownership have been transferred to buyers. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within 'Other operating expenses/income' in the profit and loss account.

Depreciation is charged to the profit and loss account using the straight line method whereby the cost of an operating asset less its estimated residual value is written off over its estimated useful life at rates given in note 4.1. Depreciation on addition is charged from the month following the month in which the asset is available for use and on disposals upto the preceding month of disposal. Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually.
2.2.2. Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance lease. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Outstanding obligations under the lease less finance cost allocated to future periods are shown as a liability.

Finance cost under lease agreements are allocated to the periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of finance cost on the remaining balance of principal liability for each period.

Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
2.3. Intangible assets

a).Computer software and licenses

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurred. However, costs that are directly attributable to identifiable software and have probable economic benefits exceeding the cost beyond one year. are recognised as an intangible asset. Direct costs include the purchase cost of software (license fee) and related overhead cost.

Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software beyond its original specification and useful life is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the software.

Computer software and license cost treated as intangible assets are amortised from the date the software is put to use on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 to 5 years.
b).Rights for future gas utilisation

Rights for future gas utilisation represents premium paid to the Government or Pakistan for allocation or 100 MMCFD natural gas for a period of twenty years from Qadirpur gas field at a predetermined price for a period of ten years commencing from the date of commercial production. The rights will be amortised from the date of commercial production on a straight-line basis over the remaining allocation period.
2.4. Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that are subject to depreciationmortisation are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify circumstances indicating occurrence of impairment loss or reversal of previous impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sale and value in use. Reversal of impairment loss is restricted to the original cost of the asset.
2.5. Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held-for-sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit and loss account.
2.6. Investments

Investment in subsidiary and joint venture companies are initially recognised at cost. At subsequent reporting dates, the recoverable amounts are estimated to determine the extent of impairment losses, if any. and carrying amounts of investments are adjusted accordingly. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense. Where impairment losses subsequently reverse, the carrying amounts of the investments are increased to the revised recoverable amounts but limited to the extent of initial cost of investments. A reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
2.7. Financial assets

2.7.1. Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity, loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
a).Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
b).Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company's loans and receivables comprise 'loans and deposits', 'trade debts and other receivables' and 'cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.
c).Held to maturity financial assets

Held to maturity financial assets are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity with a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. There were no held to maturity financial assets at the balance sheet date.
d).Available-for-sale financial assets.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose off it within 12 months of the end of the reporting date,
2.7.2. Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date - the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the profit and loss account. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the profit and loss account within 'other operating income/expenses' in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the profit and loss account as part of other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

Changes in fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income, When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the profit and loss account as 'gains and losses from investment securities'.

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the profit and loss account as part of other income. Dividends on available for sale equity instruments are recognised in the profit and loss account as part of other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss account. Impairment losses recognised in the profit and loss account on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit and loss account. Impairment testing of trade debts and other receivables is described in note 2.12.
2.8. Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle either on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.9. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction cost are recognised in profit and loss account when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair values, and changes therein are accounted for as described below:
a).Cash flow hedges

Changes in fair value of derivative hedging instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss account.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity remains there until the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non financial asset, the amount recognised in equity is transferred to carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. In other cases the amount recognised in equity is transferred to profit and loss account in the same period that the hedge item affects profit and loss account.
b).Other non-trading derivatives.

When a derivative financial instrument is not held for trading, and is not designated in a qualifying hedge relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposure. Further, the Company also has issued a conversion option with the IFC loan availed during the year. The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging and the conversion options are disclosed in note 8.
2.10. Stores, spares and loose tools

These are valued at weighted average cost except for items in transit which are stated at invoice value plus other charges paid thereon till the balance sheet date. For items which are slow moving and / or identified as surplus to the Company's requirements, adequate provision is made for any excess book value over estimated realisable value. The Company reviews the carrying amount of stores and spares on a regular basis and provision is made for obsolescence.
2.11. Stock-in-trade

These are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method except for raw materials in transit which are stated at cost (invoice value) plus other charges incurred thereon till the balance sheet date. Cost in relation to finished goods includes applicable purchase cost and manufacturing expenses. The cost of work in process includes material and proportionate conversion costs.

Net realisable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessarily to be incurred in order to make the sales.
2.12. Trade debts and other receivables

These are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, if any and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method less provision for impairment, if any. A provision for impairment is established if there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of provision is charged to profit and loss account. Trade debts and other receivables considered irrecoverable are written-off.
2.13. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows includes cash in hand, balance with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts / short term borrowings. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
2.14. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recognised at their face value. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.15. Employees' share option scheme

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

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is recognised as an employee compensation 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 an employee compensation expense in profit or loss, employee compensation expense in profit or loss will be reversed equal to the amortised portion with a corresponding effect to employee share option compensation reserve in the balance sheet.

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

When the options are exercised, employee share option compensation reserve relating to these options is transferred to share capital 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.
2.16. Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the profit and loss account over the period of the borrowings Using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
2.17. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

These are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
2.18. Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
2.18.1. Current

The current income tax charge is based on the taxable income for the year calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
2.18.2. Deferred

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
2.19. Employees' housing subsidy scheme

Employee compensation expense under Housing Subsidy Scheme is recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to employee housing subsidy shown as long term liability in the balance sheet.

When an employee leaves the company before the vesting period and after recognition of an employee compensation expense in profit or loss, employee compensation expense in profit or loss will be reversed equal to the amortised portion with a corresponding effect to employee housing subsidy in the balance sheet.

On expiry of the vesting period, amounts disbursed under the scheme will be set-off against the employee housing subsidy.
2.20. Employee benefits

2.20.1. Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contribution into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts, Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
The Company operates:

defined contribution provident fund for its permanent employees. Monthly contributions are made both by the Company and employees to the fund at the rate of 10% of basic salary.

defined contribution pension fund for the benefit of management employees. Monthly contributions are made by the Company to the fund at rates ranging from 12.5% to 13.75% of basic salary.
2.20.2. Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than the defined contribution plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method, related details of which are given in note 37 to the financial statements. Actuarial gains/losses in excess of corridor limit (10% of the higher of fair value of assets and present value of obligation) are recognised over the average remaining service life of the employees.

Contributions require assumptions to be made of future outcomes which mainly includes increase in remuneration. expected long-term return on plan assets and the discount rate used to convert future cash flows to current values, Calculations are sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions.
The Company also operates:

defined benefit funded pension scheme for its management employees.

defined benefit funded gratuity schemes for its management and non-management employees.

2.22. Foreign currency transactions and translation

These financial statements are presented in Pakistan Rupees, which is Company's functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account.
2.23. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

2.27. Earnings per share

The company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders' of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

2.28. Transactions with related parties

Sales, purchases and other transactions with related parties are carried out on commercial terms and conditions.
2.29. Dividend and appropriation to reserves

Dividend and appropriation to reserves are recognised in the financial statements in the period in which these are approved.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the Department's appeal there against in 2005 and upheld the Sindh High Court judgment in Company's favor.

7. EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Under the Employee Share Option Scheme (the Scheme), senior employees who are critical to the business operations are granted options to purchase 5 million newly issued ordinary shares at an exercise price of Rs, 277 per ordinary share. As per the Scheme, the entitlements and exercise price are subject to adjustments because of issue of right shares and bonus shares. The number of options granted to an employee is calculated in accordance with the criticality of employee to the business and their ability and is subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Vesting period has started from the date of grant, for employees who were granted shares on or before June 30. 2008 and shall end on December 31, 2010, where after these options can be exercised within a period of two years ending December 31, 2012.

For options granted after June 30, 2008. The vesting period will end such number of days after December 31, 2010 as is equal to the number of days between the date the initial option letters were issued and the date of grant of the later options. However, the latter options can also only be exercised upto December 31, 2012.

In 2008, the grant date was changed to August 23, 2007, from the date approved in the original Scheme. Further, consequent to the issue of right shares in 2008 and in the current year, the entitlements were increased to 5,500,000 shares and 7,700,000 shares respectively and the exercise price was adjusted to Rs. 267.73 per share and Rs. 205.52 per share respectively. These changes have been duly approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). The aforementioned reduction in exercise price has no effect on the fair value of share options recognised in the financial statements.

14.1. The total amount of subsidy for the year was Nil (2008: Rs. 572,946) of which Nil (2008: Rs. 198,150) was receivable on account of compensation for mandatory reduction in sales price. This compensation is provided by the Government of Pakistan on imported/purchased inventory.
14.2. During 2008, Model Customs Collectorate raised a sales tax demand of Rs. 57,135 on certain imports of Mono Ammonium Phosphate (MAP) 10:50:0 based on the actual import value rather than the deemed value as prescribed by SRO 609 (1) / 2004.

The Company has paid the demand made under protest and filed an appeal before the Collector, Sales Tax and Federal Excise. Further, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock had also recommended through its letter dated June 27, 2008 that the aforementioned grade of MAP should be assessed at deemed value of import with retrospective effect. The management therefore is confident that the issue would be decided in Company's favor.

27. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Contingencies

27.1. Claims, including pending lawsuits, against the Company not acknowledged as debts amounted to Rs. 47,658 (2008: Rs. 27,911).
27.2. Corporate guarantees of Rs. 273,482 (2008: Rs. 500,600) have been issued in favor of subsidiary companies.
27.3. Bank guarantees of Rs. 1,148,676(2008: Rs. 141,126) have been issued in favor of third parties.
27.4. The Company is contesting the penalty of Rs, 99,936 (2008: Rs. 99,936) paid and expensed in 1997, imposed by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for alleged late payment of foreign 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 the Court's decision.
27.5. 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 (2008: Rs. 47,800) whereas the award for the earlier years is awaited. The award for the second arbitration has not been recognised due to inherent uncertainties arising from its challenge in the High Court of Sindh.
27.6. The Company has extended project completion support to the lenders of Engro Energy Limited for US$ 15,400 (2008: US$ 15,400) and a further support to the lenders of Engro Polymer and Chemicals Limited for US$ 12,200 (2008: US$ 10,000).

34.1. The current and deferred tax is net of adjustment in respect of net borrowing cost capitalised in prior years.
34.2. The Company in its tax return for financial years 2006 to 2008 (tax years 2007 to 2009) claimed the benefit of Group Relief under Section 59B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 (the Ordinance) on losses acquired for an equivalent cash consideration from its wholly owned subsidiary, Engro Foods Limited (EFL), amounting to Rs. 428,744, Rs. 622,103 and Rs. 450,000 respectively.

The Tax Department raised a demand of Rs. 476,479 (rectified to Rs. 406,644) and Rs. 910,845 for financial years 2006 and 2007, on disallowance of mainly Group Relief (in both years), inter corporate dividend (in 2007) besides certain other issues. The Company has paid Rs. 170,000 and Rs. 400,000 respectively there against. Stay by the High Court of Sindh for payment of balance amount for financial year 2006 has been granted pending decision of the appeal filed by the Company before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). However for financial year 2007, stay has been granted by the Tax Department till April 30, 2010.

The main contention for disallowance of Group Relief, among others, being the non-designation of the Company as well as the subsidiary company as 'companies' entitled to Group Relief by the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), a requirement of Section 59B of the Ordinance. The Company had applied for such a designation but remained pending with SECP for want of related regulations not framed then. These regulations have been framed by SECP subsequently in December 2008 under which the Company alongwith other subsidiaries have been registered as a Group and a fresh application for the aforesaid designation will now be filed. The Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) taking cognizance of the above and other factors has, vide order dated November 13, 2009, decided the issue of Group Relief in Company's favor for the financial year 2007, while for 2006 it is pending at the ITAT level as stated above.

The Company has filed tax returns up to financial year 2008 of which tax returns from financial years 2003 2008 have been filed under the self assessment scheme. All assessments for income years 1995 to 2002 have been finalized by the Department and are in appeal at either the CIT or ITAT level on various issues, the major one being apportionment of gross profit and expenses between normal income and Final Tax Regime (FTR) income.

The Company is confident that all the above issues, including the issue of Group Relief, will be ultimately decided in its favor without any additional tax liability.

41. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

41.1. Financial risk factors

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management programme focuses on having cost efficient funding as well as to manage financial risk to minimize earnings volatility and provide maximum return to shareholders.

Risk management is carried out by the Company's Finance and Planning Department under policies approved by the Management Committee.
a).Market risk

i).Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

This exists due to the Company's exposure resulting from outstanding import payments, foreign currency loan liabilities and related interest payments. A foreign exchange risk management policy has been developed and approved by the management. The policy allows the Company to take currency exposure for limited periods within predefined limits while open exposures are rigorously monitored. The Company ensures to the extent possible that it has options available to manage exposure, either through forward contracts, options or prepayments, etc. subject to the prevailing foreign exchange regulations.

The Company is exposed to currency risk on commitments to purchase plant and machinery in connection with urea expansion project (note 4.5.1) denominated primarily in Euros. However, as at December 31, 2009, this exposure is minimal since major procurements have been completed.

The Company has entered into Euro-Dollar forward exchange contracts/options to hedge its currency risk, most of which have a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date (note 8). The Company's ability to mitigate foreign exchange risk has however been curtailed by the State Bank of Pakistan which has disallowed issuance of new forward covers against letters of credit.

On foreign currency borrowing of US$ 235,000 for the urea expansion project, the Company maintains a minimum Rupee-Dollar hedge of US$ 85,000 as per lender covenants. IFC loan of US$ 50,000 which was drawn down end of December 2009 has not been hedged so far.

The impact of other devaluation/revaluation on post tax profit for the year is negligible since all foreign currency borrowings/funds relates to the project, hence gain/loss arising is capitalised.
ii).Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest rate risk arises from short and long term borrowings. These are benchmarked to variable rates which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.

The Company analyses its interest rate exposure on a regular basis by monitoring interest rate trends to determine whether they should enter into hedging alternatives.

Interest rate risk arising on foreign currency loans are hedged through interest rate swaps (note 8). Rates on short term loans vary as per market movement.

As at December 31, 2009, if interest rates on Company's borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post tax profit for the year would have been lower/higher by Rs. 53,548 (2008: Rs. 67,421), mainly as a result of interest exposure on variable rate borrowings.
iii).Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors effecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to equity securities price risk as all of its investments are in subsidiary companies which are stated at cost. The Company's investments in money market mutual funds are exposed to price risk related to interest rate instruments.
b).Credit risk

Credit risk represents the risk of financial loss being caused if counter party fails to discharge an obligation.

Credit risk arises from deposits with banks and financial institutions, trade debts, loans, advances. deposits, bank guarantees and other receivables. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with a reasonably high credit rating or mutual funds which in turn are deposited in banks and government securities. The Company maintains an internal policy to place funds with commercial banks/mutual funds having a minimum short term credit rating of Al +

The Company is exposed to a concentration of credit risk on its trade debts by virtue of all its customers being agri-based businesses in Pakistan. However, this risk is mitigated by applying individual credit limits and by securing the majority of trade debts against bank guarantees and by the fact that the exposure is spread over a wide customer base.

The credit risk arising on account of acceptance of these bank guarantees is managed by ensuring that the bank guarantees are issued by banks of reasonably high credit ratings as approved by the management.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its financial assets with reference to historical performance of such assets and available external credit ratings. The carrying values of financial assets which are neither past due nor impaired are as under:

c).Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to dynamic nature of the business, the Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines available.

The Company's liquidity management involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

The table below analyses the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to contractual maturity dates.

41.2. Capital risk management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefit for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
