Directors’ Report 55 Future outlook and plans for expansion Inspite of the difficulties we are determined to maintain growth by converting risks and challenges into opportunities. One such challenge is scarcity of energy which we hope to convert into a future business prospect thus not only solving this vital problem for Pakistan but also maintaining our leadership position in the energy sector. This we hope to achieve by offering our state-of-the-art locally manufactured products in conjunction with Local Engineering Expertise and Services from Power Generation to Power Transmission and to Power Distribution. Backed by our strong local engineering expertise, we have been able to penetrate the international market in Dubai's High Voltage Substation market and there we will continue our focus to further increase our business growth. The Company intends to further increase its local presence and strengthen its manufacturing facility with a plan to acquire Heavy Electrical Complex (HEC) which has been offered for sale by the Government of Pakistan under its privatization policy. The recent trend of infrastructure projects and in particular mega high rise buildings and residential complexes in Pakistan would also serve as business prospects for the future. Government's focus on providing safe and clean water along with better healthcare facilities will also create new project opportunities in Public sector. However such projects opportunities depend on political stability, consistent policies and importantly the improvement in the law & order situation in the Country. We have applied the best of ourselves to the task in hand and will continue to apply the same in future. With our vision to remain market leader and technology pace setter, plans to enhance our manufacturing capacity with acquisition of HEC and global program Fit4 2010 and tools of top + we see no reason why we cannot achieve and surpass our targets. Our 'Recipe for Profit & Growth' has taken every employee on board in our drive for profit and growth.
