Chief Executive’s Review
By the grace of Almighty Allah, your Company has made steady progress in its financial performance and managed to improve itsnetsalesby22%ascomparedto lastyear.The profit after tax improved to Rs.1,838 million against Rs.1,297 million of last year. Your Company retained its strong position as the supplier of choice by focusing on good management practices, commitment to quality and better marketing mix.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Your Company has been engaged in a long journey during the last several years to achieve excellence and consistent growth in its business. A major key to our success has been continuous development of innovative ingredients to meet our customers’ requirements while reducing their cost. Our product portfolio spans three major categories - Industrial, Food and Animal Nutrition & Health Ingredients which are supplied to multiple industries.
Year ended December 31 2010 2009
Net Sales Rs. (Million) 13,913 11,428
Net Income after Tax Rs. (Million) 1,838 1,297
Earnings per Share Rupees 198.99 140.43
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The year 2010 proved to be very challenging for the economy of Pakistan. In the beginning of the year, the economy was on track and performed better than in the previous year. However, the worst flooding ever damaged about one fourth of the country’s agriculture heartland and destroyed over three million bales of cotton resulting in a cumulative loss of about 1.5% to GDP. The severeenergy crisis continued to impact the manufacturing sector and overall business activities. Consequently, the country’s economy continued to remain under stress and according to the State Bank’s projections will miss three targets - GDP growth, fiscal deficit and inflation. Despite better performance of the services sector, GDP growth is expectedbetween2to3%againstgrowthtargetof4.5%.Higher cost of imports, energy, commodities products and rising demand significantly contributed to raise the inflation to16%.The taskofeconomic recovery isdifficultbut thegovernment is making efforts to restore macroeconomic stability and the confidence of business.
It gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report and review of the performance of your Company for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2010. By the grace of Almighty Allah, your Company has continued its journey on the road to excellence during the year 2010 although the country’s overall economic situation and business environment made business growth difficult.
OPERATING RESULTS
Annual Reportfor the year ended December 31, 2010
| 7
Our brands are our customers’ preferred choices in the respective categories due to your Company’s focus on the changing needs of our customers. We aim to be real business partners and solution providers to our customers through strong business relationships and our continued quest for innovative ways of doing business in order to expand into new markets and product applications.
INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS
The Company offers a diversified range of products to the Industrial sector. The growth in this sector is the result of sharpening our focus on customers needs, exploring growth opportunities and promoting timely delivery of our products across the country. Our diversified range of regular and modified starches under the brand names of Rafhan®, Penetrose®, Amisol®, Tex-o-Film® and Coratex® are consumed in textile weaving and processing as most favored ingredients. The textile mills sector has shown recovery from the global demand recession due to progress in its export base. However, short availability of cotton coupled with a drastic increase in prices of cotton yarn, the liquidity crunch and frequent disruptions in electricity and gas supply affected the operation of downstream textile units. Paper and paperboard demand in Pakistan has grown in line with the overall improvement in educational and industrial consumption. Large investments are being made by manufacturers in this sector to enhance the domestic capacities of quality paper and paperboard to meet the growing demand, which in turn helped to generate demand
for your Company’s Q-Tac® starches. The corrugation and paper sack industries also operated at a normal pace to cover demand for packaging of industrial, electronics and food products; creating demand for the sale of Tex-o-Film® and Coragum® starches and Dextrins.
We consider diversification of our product-line to be a major factor for growth and viability in the ever changing market scenario. Over the years, the Company has continued to focus on innovation in its product line for the industrial sector to fulfill the modern needs of our customers for new applications.
FOOD BUSINESS
Despite a challenging market situation, your Company was successful in growing the food ingredient business with proactive strategies, service excellence and efforts to expand our customer base. The Company successfully continued to deliver supplies of sweeteners to our customers despite logistical constraints, through our coordinated supply chain. The major part of demand came from the export-led sugar confectionery segment for liquid glucose. However, small and medium confectioners were impacted by growing inflationary pressure on input costs, a rise in utilities’ prices and frequent power breakdowns.
Our food business is characterized by a diversified portfolio of customers. Our product-line covers a wide range of products including Globe® and Snowflake® starches,

Chief Executive’s Review
Rafhan® Liquid Glucose, Cerelose® Dextrose Monohydrate, Rafhan® Liquid Caramel and Golden Syrup. Despite adverse economic factors, demand from major food industries has shown marginal improvement. Your Company continued as a trusted supplier to the food segment. Innovative solutions provided to the food sector have opened the door for other opportunities. Your Company remains committed to further expanding its product-lines for different applications in food products.
ANIMAL NUTRITION AND HEALTH BUSINESS
The Animal Nutrition ingredients include Prairie Gold® and Rafhan® Maize Gluten Meals, Buffalo™ Maize Bran, Rafhan® Maize Germ Cake, Enzose® Hydrol and Rafhan® Crude Corn Oil. This segment delivered good performance because of stable demand from poultry, livestock and aquaculture segments. The poultry business has shown strength despite high inflation. Similarly growth in fish farming and dairy cattle segments continued to drive demand.
During the past few years, the dairy sector has shown progress due to the government’s incentives to promote dairy farming to meet a growing demand for milk and milk-based products. Consequently, the use of formula feed rations has shown an upward trend.
EXPORTS
Your Company continues to align its strategic plans to take advantage of emerging global trends and opportunities. In 2010, the Company has made continuous efforts to increase sales by enhancing its presence in the export markets. At the same time, we remained focused on fresh challenges and opportunities within and beyond the territorial limits of the country. We believe that your Company is well positioned to take advantage of its experience and diversified product-line to explore regional markets. At the same time, our people are constantly engaged in assessing customers’ needs and market dynamics in export markets to develop our core competencies.
RAW MATERIAL - MAIZE
For the past 57 years, your Company has won as one of the most recognized and respected name among agro-based industries in Pakistan. We were the first Company to conceptualize and execute the unique idea of spring maize (corn) cultivation. Throughout this long history, the story of success still continues. Your Company is committed to play a leading role in agricultural advancement in Pakistan by providing integrated solutions and agronomical assistance to the farming community to meet growing maize consumption demand in the country. We provide to the farmers expert advice free of cost through our agricultural experts who are based in the field. Our maize production and purchase teams proactively play an integral role by helping farmers to improve crop yield and productivity by sharing best practices. Through our agricultural efforts, we have strategically been able to increase the area under cultivation in addition to improving the crop yields.
Annual Reportfor the year ended December 31, 2010

In our quest for professional excellence, your Company is striving for continuous improvement in the procurement process to cope with the present challenging economic environment where strategic procurement is as important as strategic selling. With growing demand of maize from different sectors, the need for quality raw material and enhancement in yields has become all the more important for a stable supply chain.
The year under review was not good for maize cultivation. The spring crop was impacted by unfavorable weather at the time of pollination, and less availability of water for irrigation due to power load-shedding. The winter crop was partly damaged in KP and southern Punjab due to floods. Lower than target production against strong demand from livestock and other sectors pushed the price of maize to all time high level during the year 2010.
INVESTMENT
Your Company has always followed its policy to invest into new technologies and product innovation which is the core strength of its business. We are well cognizant of market needs and changing business dynamics to continuously enhance our competencies to meet customers’ needs with higher product standards. Our goal is to provide customized solutions to our customers to support market growth.
We are determined to optimize our manufacturing capabilities and to maintain Company’s position as one of the leading ingredient suppliers. Over the years, the plant capacity has gradually been increased and your Company now operates from two locations with sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet market demand. Construction work on our third plant in the South region is in progress to meet the growing demand and potential growth in the Southern markets. Your Company has embarked upon an expansion program and spent an amount of Rs. 582 million during the year 2010.
We are confident that continued investment in our people and technologies would enable us to achieve our strategic goals. We shall continue to pursue our expansion and diversification projects in an anticipation to meet the growing demand from local resources.
OPERATIONS
Our strategies have repeatedly proven effective at achieving sustained and quality output from our plants. This is a result of our commitment towards operational efficiency of manufacturing facilities. Our plants have shown a solid production performance over the years driven by continuous production enhancement, process optimization and efficiency improvements in all plants. We have equipped our plants with state-of-the-art facilities which combine competent people, technology and management system to achieve profitable growth in line with our growth strategy from year over year.
Multiple steps were taken to recover production losses due to energy shortage in the country and several energy saving measures were taken to improve energy optimization. Processes were reengineered and employees trained for coordinated efforts and teamwork to enhance productivity. Extended electricity and gas load-shedding affected the overall productivity. Each rupee of the investment was spent in the right place. However, your Company maintained its momentum to produce according to market demand and customer needs which helped maintain market leadership. The management developed a system for close monitoring of critical and important operations and took timely versatile measures to reduce production losses and improve/maintain efficiency of machines.

TRAINING & MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT
Over the years, the Company has maintained a distinctive corporate culture driven and influenced by our dedicated and energetic workforce. All Company employees are given appropriate opportunities for self-development and career growth. We strongly believe that training and development is an investment rather than an expense.

challenges. As the year 2010 was full of challenges due to escalating costs of energy, raw materials and spares, full emphasis was focused on the cost savings in designing our in-house training programs by including following topics:

BUSINESS RISKS, CHALLENGES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
The economic outlook for 2011 remains problematic. Some of the major challenges are: low growth, high inflation, rising unemployment, continued fiscal indiscipline, surging food and energy prices, expensive credit to private sector and low foreign investment. Whereas a sustained flow of home remittances from overseas Pakistanis happens to be a consolation, food and oil imports are likely to put pressure on the balance of payments. The State Bank of Pakistanhasalreadyrevisedtheinflationrateto16%whichwould continue to impact the cost of production. However, the performance of the commodity producing sectors of the economy is expected to improve in the months ahead. Large scale manufacturing growth is expected to turn positive as strong agri-prices support demand and with the additional capacities coming on line in some major industries. As such the macroeconomic imbalances in the economy are still manageable provided immediate steps are taken to implement critical structural adjustments. Pakistan’s economy has always shown resilience during unfavorable business environments and we are hopeful that the initiatives being taken by the Government and the
14 |
Chief Executive’s Review
political parties on the agenda for economic reforms would be helpful in reviving economic growth.
In view of the prevalent market circumstances, the performance of consuming segments may remain depressed which may impact overall demand for our products especially from downstream consuming industries. Inflationary pressure on the cost of maize, utilities and other overhead will continue, however, it may be difficult to include the total impact of cost increases in the prices of our products.
The management of your Company is fully aware of the challenges ahead and is taking measures to face those challenges by adopting market driven strategies, optimizing manufacturing capabilities, striving for continued differentiation of our products and services and continuing our operational excellence and prudent use of our resources. We are confident that our journey on the track of progress will continue and we will continue to create value for all our stakeholders.
CORPORATE DISTINCTIONS
Your Company continued to be recognized for high performance by receiving the “Top 25 Companies ofPakistan Award” from the Karachi Stock Exchange forthe fourteenth year in a row.

Review Report to the Memberson Statement of Compliance with Best Practices of Code of Corporate Governance
We have reviewed the Statement of Compliance with the best
practices contained in the Code of Corporate Governance
prepared by the Board of Directors of Rafhan Maize Products
Company Limited (“the Company”) to comply with the Listing
Regulations of Karachi and Lahore Stock Exchanges.
The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate
Governance is that of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our
responsibility is to review, to the extent where such compliance
canbeobjectivelyverified,whethertheStatementofCompliance
reflectsthestatusoftheCompany’scompliancewiththeprovisions
of the Code of Corporate Governance and report if it does not. A
review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company personnel
and review of various documents prepared by the Company to
complywiththeCode.Aspartofourauditoffinancialstatements
we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and
internalcontrolsystemssufficient toplan theauditanddevelop
an effective audit approach. We have not carried out any special
review of the internal control system to enable us to express an
opinion as to whether the Board’s statement on internal control
covers all controls and the effectiveness of such internal controls.
Further, Sub-Regulation (xiii a) of Listing Regulation No.35
(previously Regulation No.37) notified by The Karachi Stock
Exchange (Guarantee) Limited vide circular KSE/N-269 dated 19
January 2009 requires the Company to place before the Board
of Director for their consideration and approval of related party
transactions distinguishing between transactions carried out on
terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions
and transactions which are not executed at arm’s length price
recording proper justification for using such alternate pricing
mechanism. Further, all such transactions are also required to be
separately placed before the audit committee.
We are only required and have ensured compliance of requirement
to the extent of approval of related party transactions by the Board
of Directors and placement of such transactions before the audit
committee. We have not carried out any procedures to determine
whether the related party transactions were under taken at arm’s
length price.
Based on our review nothing has come to our attention which
causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance does not
appropriately reflect the Company’s compliance, in all material
respects, with the best practices contained in the Code of
Corporate Governance as applicable to the Company for the year
ended 31 December 2010.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on a straight-line-basis. Rates of depreciation, which are disclosed in note 5, are designed to write off the cost over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation methods, residualvaluesanduseful livesoftheassetsarereviewedatleastateachfinancialyearendandadjustedif impactondepreciationissignificant.
Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the month in which the asset is acquired or capitalised, while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is disposed off.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment may be impaired. If such indication exists, the carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment loss is recognised in income currently. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is recognised, the depreciation charge is adjusted in the future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only whenitisprobablethatfutureeconomicbenefitsassociatedwiththeitemwillflowtothecompanyandthecostoftheitemcan be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to income during the period in which they are incurred.
The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is recognised as an income or expense.
4.7 Intangible assets
The Company reviews the rate of amortization and value of intangible assets for possible impairment on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of intangible assets with a corresponding affect on the amortization charge and impairment.

4.22 Derivative financial instruments
These are initially recorded at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are re-measured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates.

The Company designates certain derivativesascashflowhedges.
The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used inhedgingtransactionsarehighlyeffectiveinoffsettingchangesincashflowofhedgeditems.Derivativesarecarriedasassets when fair value is positive and liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Thecompanyhasexposuretothefollowingrisksfromitsuseoffinancialinstruments: - Credit risk - Liquidity risk - Market risk The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Company’s risk management framework.
The Board is also responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. 32.1 Credit risk
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counter parties fail completely to perform as contracted and arise principally from long term loans, trade debts, loans and advances, trade deposits andshorttermprepaymentandotherreceivablesandcashandbankbalances.OutofthetotalfinancialassetsofRs.462,740thousand(2009:Rs.1,085,249thousand)financialassetswhicharesubjecttocreditriskamountto Rs. 442,783 thousand (2009: Rs. 1,011,175 thousand).
To manage exposure to credit risk in respect of trade receivables, management performs credit reviews taking into accountthecustomer’sfinancialposition,pastexperienceandotherfactors.Whereconsiderednecessary,advancepayments are obtained from certain parties. Sales made to major customers are secured through security deposits, bank guarantees and letters of credit. To manage exposure to credit risk, the company applies credit limits to its customer and obtains advances from certain customers.
Allinvestingtransactionsaresettled/paidforupondelivery.TheCompany’spolicyistoenterintofinancialinstrumentcontract by following internal guidelines such as approving counterparties and approving credits.
