The Company has incurred loss after tax of Rs 816 million as against a profit of Rs 465 million earned during the previous year. The decrease in profitability in current year is because of Negotiated Settlement Agreement as detailed in Directorsí Report of the Company and annexed financial statements, resulting in early termination of Companyís Power Purchase Agreement with effect from October 01, 2024. Companyís strategic repositioning as detailed in the Directorsí Report, will allow the Company to preserve capital, maintain financial strength and maximize long-term shareholdersí return.

I would like to appreciate overall performance of the Board during this year despite multiple challenges and tough economic conditions prevalent in the Country. They have provided strategic directions to the management and always remained available for guidance. The Board has formed various Committees, like Audit Committee and Human Resource Committee. Through Audit Committee, the Board reviewed the internal controls and financial statements and ensured that the accounts fairly represent the financial position of the Company. While the HR Committee overviews the HR policy framework and recommends selection and compensation of senior management team.

To evaluate the performance of the Board and its Committees, the Board has put in place mechanism for annual evaluation of the performance of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board has completed its annual self-evaluation for the year 2025 and I am pleased to report that the overall performance benchmarked on the basis of set criteria remained satisfactory.

Further, I am pleased to inform that the composition of the Board depicts reasonable balance of executive and non-executive Directors including female and

Adequate controls and robust systems are in place to ensure effective control environment so compliance of best policies of Corporate Governance are achieved.

Chairman Lahore: March 31, 2026

The Directors are pleased to present the Annual Report and the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 together with the auditors' report thereon.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS AND STRATEGIC REPOSITIONING

The early termination of the Companyís Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), effective 01 October 2024, resulted in the cessation of the Companyís primary revenue stream.

Following the termination of the PPA, the Board undertook a comprehensive review of the Companyís strategic direction to safeguard shareholder value and ensure sustainable utilization of its available financial resources.

Keeping in view the above factors, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on March 31, 2026 has formally approved an Alternate Business Plan for the Company involving the disposal / sale of plant and machinery, sizeable part of buildings, stores, spare parts and other consumables and other assets (ìthe Assetsî) of the Company located at power plant site, Mehmood Kot, Muzaffargarh, Punjab, subject to the completion of necessary corporate, regulatory and legal formalities.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 183(3)(a) of the Companies Act, 2017, the approval of members of the Company is being sought in forthcoming Annual General Meeting for such sale / disposal of the Assets.

The Company has Rupees 9,198.822 million surplus funds available as on 31 December 2025 which are invested in mutual funds and cash and banks. The sale of the Assets as stated above is expected to further generate Rs. 3,161 million. The Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on 18 December 2025 has approved the Companyís acquisition, through nomination by Nishat Hotels and Properties Limited, of up to 4.41% of the paid-up ordinary share capital of Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited (ìthe acquiree companyî) at a price of PKR 9,800 per share, as part of a broader acquisition with its affiliates to acquire a total of up to 75.10% of paid-up ordinary share capital of the acquiree company through share purchase agreements and 3.23% of paid-up ordinary share capital of the acquiree company through public offer under the Listed Companies (Substantial Acquisition of Voting Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2017.

Hence, Alternate Business Plan, approved and recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company encompass change in principal line of business, change in name of the Company, disposal of the Assets and pursuing the principal line of business of making investments in shares / securities. The Board has initiated a strategic repositioning of the Company from an asset-intensive power generation business to a capital allocation and investment-focused platform.

As part of this transition, the Company intends to monetise legacy operating assets and redeploy capital into opportunities capable of generating sustainable returns. The Companyís strong financial position, disciplined governance, and experienced management team provide a solid foundation for this transition.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE

The Board continues to actively monitor risks associated with the transition, including regulatory developments, execution risks relating to potential investments, and market-related factors. Appropriate governance and oversight mechanisms are in place to ensure prudent decision-making and protection of shareholder interests.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The Board views the Companyís transformation as a proactive response. Going forward, the Company is expected to remain focused on execution of the Alternate Business Plan, enhancing shareholdersí value and maintaining financial strength.

PROPOSED STRATEGIC INVESTMENT ó RAFHAN MAIZE PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED

In view of the delayed / uncertain near-term commercialization through CTBCM and the need to enhance predictability of returns and preserve shareholder value, the Board and management have evaluated alternate avenues of income generation (as contemplated in the Companyís financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024).

As stated above, the Company, as part of a consortium of Nishat Group entities, is in the process of acquiring equity stake in Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited, a listed company engaged in the business of processing of maize as the basis raw material to manufacture and sell a number of industrial products, like industrial starches, liquid glucose, dextrose, dextrin and gluten meals.

The transaction is being undertaken in accordance with the Securities Act, 2015 and the Listed Companies (Substantial Acquisition of Voting Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2017, and represents a strategic investment opportunity aligned with the Companyís long-term capital allocation framework.

Management considers the proposed investment attractive for the following reasons:

Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited (RMPL) specializes in corn wet-milling, producing a diverse portfolio of starches and sweeteners. These products serve a wide array of sectors, including textiles, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and livestock. By maintaining such a broad demand base, RMPL achieve greater operational resilience across economic cycles, mitigating the risks typically associated with single-buyer contract models.

As a mature operating business with a diversified customer base and value-added product portfolio, the proposed investment is expected to provide a combination of stable dividend income potential and long-term capital appreciation.

The Company already holds surplus funds of approximately Rs. 9,198.822 million as on December 31, 2025. Deploying a portion of these surplus funds, into a strategic investment is intended to enhance returns compared with passive placements, while maintaining adequate liquidity to meet operating expenditures and obligations.

GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL RESILIENCE

Based on the Companyís available financial resources and ongoing strategic initiatives, the Board is satisfied that the Company will continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and has therefore adopted the going concern

basis in preparing these financial statements.

FINANCE AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Due to termination of PPA in Year 2024, the Company had no operating revenues, during the current year. For comparative year, the Company reported total sales revenue of Rupees 14.239 billion and operating costs were Rupees 10.691 billion, resulting in gross profit of Rupees 3.548 billion). During the year, the Company incurred loss after tax of Rupees 816 million resulting in loss per share of Rupees 2.19, as compared to a profit after tax of Rupees 465 million and earnings per share of Rupees 1.22 last year.

The Company remains in a sound financial position and has sufficient liquidity and reserves to meet its plant preservation expenditures and discharge its liabilities for the foreseeable future. As on December 31, 2025, the Companyís investments in Mutual Funds and cash and banks stand at Rs. 9,199 million, which are primarily held to meet day to day expenditure and keeping in view the Alternate Business Plan of the Company as elaborated in preceding paragraphs.

The Company has taken several cost reduction measures, including but not limited to rationalization of workers and employees through Voluntary Severance Scheme (VSS) and reduction / optimization of plant maintenance costs, to mitigate the financial impacts arising due to termination of the Agreements.

BUY BACK OF SHARES:

During the year, the Company undertook buy-back of its own shares in accordance with Section 88 of the Companies Act, 2017 and the Listed Companies (Buy-Back of Shares) Regulations, 2019. The Board of Directors in its meeting held on October 16, 2025 approved the proposal of buy-back of up to 100,000,000 ordinary shares of face value Rs. 10 each, representing 26.33% of the total outstanding shares, with the purpose of cancellation of shares. Proposal was subsequently authorized by the members through a special resolution passed in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 20, 2025.

Pursuant to the approval, the Company announced the buy-back on November 20, 2025 and commenced purchases through Pakistan Stock Exchange on November 28, 2025. The Company completed the buy-back during December 2025 and purchased an aggregate of 100,000,000 ordinary shares at prevailing market prices for cancellation.

The purchased shares were cancelled upon confirmation from Central Depository Company, resulting in a reduction of the Companyís paid-up share capital from 379,838,732 ordinary shares to 279,838,732 ordinary shares of Rs. 10 each.

The transaction was funded from distributable reserves and has been accounted for as a reduction in equity.

Name of Directors Number of shares
Issued shares before buy-back 379,838,732
Shares cancelled (100,000,000)
Issued shares after cancellation 279,838,732

The buy-back has been accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with IAS 32 - Financial Instruments i.e. the premium paid on buy-back of shares including directly attributable costs has been recognized as a deduction from distributable reserves and no gain or loss has been recognized in profit or loss on cancellation of shares.

The reduction in the number of ordinary shares outstanding has been reflected in the computation of basic and

diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 in accordance with IAS 33 (Earnings per Share). Further details are disclosed in Note 27.

The buy-back had the following financial implications for the Company:

  • 1) The cancellation of shares reduced the issued and paid-up capital, thereby optimizing the Companyís capital structure and aligning it with the current scale of operations.
  • 2) The Company utilized approximately PKR 2.47 billion (inclusive of transaction costs) for the purchase of shares, which was funded from distributable profits/reserves.
  • 3) As a result of the reduction in the number of outstanding shares:
  • a. Earnings per share (EPS) is expected to improve due to lower weighted average shares outstanding.
  • b. Net assets per share / book value per share is expected to increase, enhancing shareholder value
  • 4) The buy-back did not affect the Companyís operational capability or its ability to meet liabilities, as the transaction was executed from available reserves in compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • 5) The transaction provided liquidity to shareholders wishing to exit while simultaneously improving capital efficiency for continuing shareholders.

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditorís report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyís ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Companyís financial reporting process.

Auditorís Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorís report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

ï Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • ï Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companyís internal control.
  • ï Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • ï Conclude on the appropriateness of managementís use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companyís ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorís report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorís report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • ï Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorís report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Based on our audit, we further report that in our opinion:

  • a) proper books of account have been kept by the Company as required by the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017);
  • b) the statement of financial position, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows together with the notes thereon have been

drawn up in conformity with the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and are in agreement with the books of account and returns;

  • c) investments made, expenditure incurred and guarantees extended during the year were for the purpose of the Companyís business; and
  • d) no Zakat was deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980).

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditorís report is Mubashar Mehmood.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2025

1. THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

1.1 Lalpir Power Limited (ìthe Companyî) was incorporated in Pakistan on 08 May 1994 under the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 (now Companies Act, 2017). The registered office of the Company is situated at 53-A, Lawrence Road, Lahore. Head office of the Company is situated at 1-B, Aziz Avenue, Canal Road, Gulberg V, Lahore. The ordinary shares of the Company are listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. The principal activities of the Company are to own, operate and maintain a fuel fired power station (ìthe Complexî) having gross capacity of 362 MW in Mehmood Kot, Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan. The Company had a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with its sole customer, Central Power Purchasing Agency (Guarantee) Limited (CPPA-G) for 30 years which commenced from 06 November 1997. As per the terms of PPA amendment agreement dated 20 April 2021, the agreement year that ended on 25 March 2021 was extended by 248 days to 28 October 2021.

1.2 Impact on going concern assumption

The PPA of the Company was initially for a term of 30 years and was scheduled to expire on 28 November 2028. However, during the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company entered into negotiations with the National Task Force on Structural Reforms (Task Force) constituted by the Prime Minister of Pakistan. After several round of discussions with the Task Force, the Company consented the early termination of existing PPA with the Power Purchaser with effect from 01 October 2024. The Company also consented the early termination of Implementation Agreement (IA) entered into with the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Guarantee issued by the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, for and on behalf of the Government of Pakistan (GoP) with effect from 01 October 2024. Certain terms in relation to termination of these Agreements have been agreed among the parties. These terms have been formally approved and the Agreements stands terminated with effect from 01 October 2024.

The termination of PPA indicates the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Companyís ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on 18 December 2025 has approved the Companyís acquisition, through nomination by Nishat Hotels and Properties Limited, of up to 4.41% of the paid-up ordinary share capital of Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited (ìthe acquiree companyî), as part of a broader acquisition with its affiliates to acquire a total of up to 75.10% of paid-up ordinary share capital of the acquiree company through share purchase agreements and 3.23% of paid-up ordinary share capital of the acquiree company through public offer under the Listed Companies (Substantial Acquisition of Voting Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2017. Subsequent to the reporting period, on 26 March 2026, Nishat Hotels and Properties Limited, D. G. Khan Cement Company Limited, Nishat Mills Limited, Nishat Power Limited, Nishat Chunian Power Limited, Lalpir Power Limited, Pakgen Power Limited, Mrs. Naz Mansha, Mr. Raza Mansha, Mr. Umer Mansha and Mr. Hassan Mansha (the Acquirers) have, through Manager to the Offer, made Public Announcement of Public Offer to acquire 298,759 ordinary shares (3.23% of the issued and paid-up ordinary shares capital) and control of Rafhan Maize Products Company Limited at a price of PKR 9,800 per share under the Securities Act, 2015 and the Listed Companies (Substantial Acquisition of Voting Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2017. Further, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on 31 March 2026, subsequent to the reporting period, has approved a viable alternate business plan. Key features of the viable alternate business plan are as follows:

  • ï The name of the Company shall be changed from ìLalpir Power Limitedî to ìLalpir Limitedî;
  • ï The principal line of business shall be changed to carry on the business of buying, selling, holding or otherwise acquiring or investing the capital of the Company in any sort of financial instruments. Accordingly, Memorandum of Association of the Company shall be altered to reflect change in principal line of business of the Company;
  • ï Plant and machinery and sizeable part of buildings of the Company shall be disposed of for the purposes of viable alternate business plan;
  • ï Existing land and remaining building of the Company located at Mehmood Kot, Muzaffargarh, Punjab shall be held as an investment property;
  • ï Similarly, stores, spare parts and other consumables shall be disposed of for the purposes of viable alternate business plan.

The viable alternate business plan approved by the board of directors of the Company is being put before the shareholders of the Company for their approval in forthcoming Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held on 27 April 2026. The Company has Rupees 9,198.822 million surplus funds available as on 31 December 2025 which are invested in mutual funds and cash and banks to generate sufficient income to support the operations of the Company.

Notwithstanding, as elaborated above, the Company has sound financial position and as per the managementís forecasts, the Company has enough liquidity and reserves to meet the operational expenditures and discharge its liabilities for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the management is confident that the Company will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. Thus, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and consequently, do not require adjustment relating to the realization of its assets and liquidation of liabilities.

The management has assessed the accounting implications of the aforementioned developments in relation to the impairment of tangible fixed assets under IAS 36 ëImpairment of Assetsí. However, according to managementís assessment, there is no impact of impairment on these financial statements.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

The material accounting policy information 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

a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards applicable in Pakistan comprise of:

  • IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017; and
  • Provisions of, directives and notifications issued under the Companies Act, 2017.

Where provisions of, directives and notifications issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ from the IFRS Accounting Standards, the provisions of, directives and notifications issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.

b) Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as otherwise stated in the respective accounting policies.

c) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Companyís accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The areas where various assumptions and estimates are significant to the Companyís financial statements or where judgments were exercised in application of accounting policies are as follows:

Income tax and levy

In making the estimates for income tax and levy currently payable by the Company, the managment takes into account the applicable tax laws and the decisions by appellate authorities on certain issues in the past.

Useful lives, pattern of economic benefits and impairment

Estimates with respect to residual values and useful lives and pattern of flow of economic benefits are based on the analysis of the management of the Company. Further, the Company reviews the value of the assets for possible impairments on an annual basis. If such indication exists assets recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss, if any. Any change in the estimates in the future might affect the carrying amount of respective item of fixed assets, with a corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.

Stores, spare parts and other consumables

Write down of items of stores, spare parts and other consumables is made on the basis of managementís estimate of net realizable value and ageing analysis prepared on an item-by-item basis.

Contingencies

The Company reviews the status of all pending litigations and claims against the Company. Based on the judgment and the advice of the legal advisors for the estimated financial outcome, appropriate disclosure or provision is made. The actual outcome of these litigations and claims can have an effect on the carrying amounts of the liabilities recognized at the statement of financial position date.

Provisions

As the actual outflows can differ from estimates made for provisions due to changes in laws, regulations, public expectations, technology, prices and conditions, and can take place many years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to take account of such changes. Any adjustments to the amount of previously recognised provision is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income unless the provision was originally recognised as part of cost of an asset.

Employeesí retirement benefit

The cost of defined benefit retirement plan is determined using actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is based on the assumptions as mentioned in note 5.11 to these financial statements.

Classification of investments

The management of the Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase or increase in holding and classifies its investments in accordance with IFRS 9 ìFinancial Instrumentsî.

Inventories

Inventory write-down is made based on the current market conditions, historical experience and selling goods of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in market conditions. A review is made on each reporting date on inventories for excess inventories, obsolescence and declines in net realisable value and an allowance is recorded against the inventory balances for any such declines.

d) Amendments to published approved accounting standards that are effective in current year and are relevant to the Company

Following amendments to published approved accounting standards are mandatory for the Companyís accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2025:

ï Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21 ëThe Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Ratesí). The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not.

The above-mentioned amendments to approved accounting standards did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior period and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.

e) Amendments to published approved accounting standards that are effective in current year but not relevant to the Company

There are amendments to published standards that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2025 but are considered not to be relevant or do not have any significant impact on the Companyís financial statements and are therefore not detailed in these financial statements.

f) Standards, amendments to published approved accounting standards that are not yet effective but relevant to the Company

Following standards, amendments and improvements to published approved accounting standards are mandatory for the Companyís accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2026 or later periods:

IFRS 18 ëPresentation and Disclosure in Financial Statementsí (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2027) with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The objective of IFRS 18 is to set out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements to help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entityís assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: the structure of the statement of profit or loss; required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entityís financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its ëoperating profit or lossí.

Amendments to IFRS 10 ëConsolidated Financial Statementsí and IAS 28 ëInvestments in Associates and Joint Venturesí (deferred indefinitely) to clarify the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from an investor to its associates or joint venture, as follows: require full recognition in the investorís financial statements of gains and losses arising on the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3 ëBusiness Combinationsí); require the partial recognition of gains and losses where the assets do not constitute a business, i.e. a gain or loss is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investorsí interests in that associate or joint venture. These requirements apply regardless of the legal form of the transaction, e.g. whether the sale or contribution of assets occur by an investor transferring shares in a subsidiary that holds the assets (resulting in loss of control of the subsidiary), or by the direct sale of the assets themselves.

IFRS S1 ëGeneral Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Informationí. IFRS S1 sets out overall requirements for sustainability-related financial disclosures with the objective to require an entity to disclose information about its sustainability-related risks and opportunities that is useful to primary users of general purpose financial reports in making decisions relating to providing resources to the entity.

IFRS S2 ëClimate-related Disclosuresí. IFRS S2 sets out the requirements for identifying, measuring and disclosing information about climate-related risks and opportunities that is useful to primary users of general purpose financial reports in making decisions relating to providing resources to the entity.

The implementation of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 will be phased as per the SECP's order dated 31 December 2024, with different effective dates based on annual turnover, number of employees, and total assets (Criteria). Phase I will apply to listed companies meeting specific Criteria for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2025. Phase II will apply to other listed companies meeting specific Criteria for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2026. Phase III will cover non-listed public interest companies and remaining listed companies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2027.

Amendment to IFRS 7 ó ëFinancial Instruments: Disclosuresí and IFRS 9 ó ëFinancial Instruments ñ Classification and Measurement of Financial Instrumentsí (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2026). These amendments clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the SPPI criterion; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows; and make updates to the disclosures for equity instruments designated at FVTOCI.

Amendment to IFRS 7 ó ëFinancial Instruments: Disclosuresí and IFRS 9 ó ëFinancial Instruments ñ Contracts Referencing Natureñdependent Electricityí (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2026). These amendments change the ëown useí and hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and include targeted disclosure requirements to IFRS 7.

Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial Statements (Illustrative Examples). Illustrative examples are not an integral part of standards and, therefore, do not have an effective date.

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published 'Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards ó Volume 11'. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2026. It contains amendments to following five standards as result of the IASB's annual improvements project:

  • ï IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
  • ï IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7
  • ï IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
  • ï IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and
  • ï IAS 7 Statement of Cash flows.

The above standards, amendments and improvements are likely to have no significant impact on the financial statements.

g) Standards, amendments and improvements to published approved accounting standards that are not yet effective and not considered relevant to the Company

There are other standards, amendments and improvements to published approved standards that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2026 but are considered not to be relevant or do not have any significant impact on the Company's financial statements and are therefore not detailed in these financial statements.

2.2 Fixed assets

2.2.1 Operating fixed assets

Operating fixed assets, except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost less impairment loss, if any. Residual values and estimated useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date, with the effect of changes in estimate accounted for on prospective basis.

Subsequent costs are included in the assetís carrying amount or recognized 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. All other repair and maintenance costs are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged to income applying the straight line method whereby cost of an asset less its residual value is written off over its estimated useful life at the rates given in note 9.1. Depreciation on additions is charged for the full month in which the asset is available for use and on deletion up to the month immediately preceding the deletion.

An item of operating fixed assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 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 recognized as an income or expense.

2.2.2 Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less identified impairment losses, if any. All expenditure connected with specific assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under capital work-in-progress. These are transferred to operating fixed assets as and when these are available for use.

2.3 Investments and other financial assets

a) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • ï those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
  • ï those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Companyís business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

b) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Companyís business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other income / (other expenses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assetsí cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVTOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other income / (other expenses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other income / (other expenses) and impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other income / (other expenses) in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value for financial instruments quoted in an active market, the fair value corresponds to a market price (level 1). For financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques including reference to recent armís length market transactions or transactions involving financial instruments which are substantially the same (level 2). Fair value is determined using valuation techniques that incorporate significant inputs not based on observable market data (level 3).

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Where the Companyís management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Changes in the fair value of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other income / (other expenses) in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as applicable.

Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Companyís right to receive payments is established.

2.4 Financial liabilities ñ Classification and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is also included in profit or loss.

2.5 Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For receivables other than those due from the Government of Pakistan, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

2.6 De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

a) Financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognized financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

b) Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability (or a part of financial liability) from its statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.7 Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are set off and the net amount is reported in the financial statements when there is a legal enforceable right to set off and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and to settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.8 Investment in associate - (with significant influence)

Associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investment in associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost.

Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Companyís share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Companyís share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associate is recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Companyís share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the Companyís interest in this entity. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investee have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

Investment in equity method accounted for associate is tested for impairment in accordance with the provision of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

2.9 Foreign currency translation

These financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is the Companyís functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currency are converted in Pak Rupees at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into Pak Rupees at the rate of exchange prevailing on that date. Net exchange differences are recognized as income or expense in the period in which they arise.

2.10 Employee benefits

2.10.1 Defined contribution plan

The Company operates a contributory provident fund scheme covering all regular employees. Equal monthly contributions are made by the Company and employees to the fund at the rate of 10% of basic salary of employees.

2.10.2 Defined benefit plan

The Company operates a funded gratuity scheme for all of its employees who have completed the qualifying period as defined under the scheme. As per gratuity scheme, employees of the Company are entitled to gratuity equivalent to last drawn salary multiplied by the numbers of year of service up to the date of leaving the Company. The liability recognised in respect of defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The charge for the year is based on actuarial valuation. The latest actuarial valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2025 using projected unit credit method. The amount arising as a result of remeasurements are recognised immediately, with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the periods in which they occur. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

2.11 Inventories

Inventories, except in transit are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined as follows:

2.11.1 Fuel stock

Cost is determined on the basis of first-in-first-out method.

2.11.2 Stores, spare parts and other consumables

Cost is determined on the basis of average cost method, less allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost in relation to items in transit comprises of invoice value and other charges incurred thereon up to the reporting date.

Net realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Provision for obsolete and slow moving items is made based on managementís estimate.

2.12 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

2.13 Contingent assets

Contingent assets are disclosed when the Company has a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recognized until their realization becomes certain.

2.14 Contingent liabilities

Contingent liability is disclosed when the Company has a possible obligation as a result of past events whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent liabilities are not recognized, only disclosed, unless the possibility of a future outflow of resources is considered remote. In the event that the outflow of resources associated with a contingent liability is assessed as probable, and if the size of the outflow can be reliably estimated, a provision is recognized in the financial statements.

2.15 Taxation

2.15.1 Current

Income (profit and gains) of the Company derived from electric power generation are exempt from income tax under Clause (132) of Part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The Company is also exempt from minimum tax under clause (11A) of Part IV of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 for the period it continues to be entitled to exemption under clause (132) of Part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Full provision for current tax and levy is made in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on income from sources not covered under the above clauses at current rates of taxation after taking into account, tax credits and rebates available, if any. Except for the tax (final tax) deducted by subsidiaries, associates or joint arrangements on distribution of dividend to the Company, final taxes levied under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and any excess over the amount designated as provision for current tax are charged as levy in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Tax (final tax) deducted by subsidiaries, associates or joint arrangements on distribution of dividend to the Company is charged as current tax in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The charge for current tax and levy also includes adjustments, where considered necessary, to provision for tax and levy made in previous years arising from assessments framed during the year for such years.

2.15.2 Deferred

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of the taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax has not been provided in these financial statements as the management believes that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future as in a recent judgement involving an Independent Power Producer, the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) has held that exemption under Clause (132) of Part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 covers the income from sales of unused raw materials, spare parts and fixed assets etc. Hence, the Company's income (from sale of unused furnace and lube oil, spare parts and fixed assets etc.) will remain exempt under the aforesaid Clause (132) even after the termination of PPA.

2.16 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, balance with banks in current, saving and deposit accounts, other short term highly liquid instruments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in values and short-term borrowings under mark-up arrangements.

2.17 Borrowings

Financing and borrowings are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

2.18 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

2.19 Financial assets due from the Government of Pakistan

Financial assets due from the Government of Pakistan include trade debts and other receivables due from CPPA-G under the PPA that also includes accrued amounts. SECP through SRO 25(I)/2026 dated 06 January 2026 has notified that, in respect of companies holding financial assets due from the Government of Pakistan, the requirements contained in IFRS 9 with respect to application of Expected Credit Losses method shall not be applicable till financial year ending on or before 31 December 2026 and that such companies shall follow relevant requirements of IAS 39 in respect of above referred financial assets during the exemption period. Accordingly, the same continue to be reported as per the following accounting policy:

A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the amount due according to the original terms of the receivable.

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. The financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ëloss eventí) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assetís carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial assetís original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss. When the financial asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtorís credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

2.20 Trade debts and other receivables

Trade debts were amounts due from CPPA-G in the ordinary course of business. They were generally due for settlement as referred to in note 2.24 and therefore were all classified as current. Trade debts were recognised initially at the amount of consideration that was unconditional unless they contained significant financing components, when they were recognised at fair value. The Company held the trade debts with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measured them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

After the termination of PPA, accounting policy for trade debts and other receivables is as follows:

Trade debts are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables generally do not include amounts over due by 365 days.

The Company has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

2.21 Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are initially recognized at fair value, which is normally the transaction cost and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.22 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount for which assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an assetís fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Reversals of the impairment losses are restricted to the extent that the assetís carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if impairment losses had not been recognized. An impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

2.23 Revenue recognition

Revenue shall be recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service.

Sale of electricity

Revenue from sale of electricity to CPPA-G, the sole customer of the Company, is recorded on the following basis:

  • Capacity Purchase Price revenue is recognized over time, based on the capacity made available to CPPA-G; and
  • Energy Purchase Price revenue is recognized at a ëpoint in timeí based on the Net Electrical Output (NEO) delivered to CPPA-G.

Capacity Purchase Price revenue and Energy Purchase Price revenue is recognized based on the rates specified under the mechanism laid down in Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Invoices are generally raised on a monthly basis and are due after 25 days from acknowledgement by CPPA-G.

Interest

Delayed payment markup on amounts due under the PPA is accrued on a time proportion basis by reference to the amount outstanding and the applicable rate of return under the PPA.

Rent

Rent revenue from investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives granted are recognised as part of the rental revenue. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the period when earned.

Dividend

Dividend on equity investments is recognized when right to receive the dividend is established.

2.24 Dividend and other appropriations

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are declared and other appropriations are recognized in the period in which these are approved by the Board of Directors.

2.25 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recognized at their face value. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax.

Own shares purchased for cancellation

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity.

3. SUMMARY OF OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognized at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Cost comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is charged over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities.

The Company has elected not to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are charged to income as incurred.

3.2 Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognized at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognized at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are re-measured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is re-measured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

3.3 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is the Companyís functional and presentation currency. Figures are rounded off to the nearest thousand of Pak Rupees.

3.4 Earnings per share

The Company presents earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. 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 year.

3.5 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of fixed assets are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss over the expected lives of the related assets.

3.6 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.

3.7 Investment properties

Land and buildings held for capital appreciation or to earn rental income are classified as investment properties. Investment properties except land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Land is stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any. Depreciation on buildings is charged to statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income applying the straight line method so as to write off the cost of buildings over their estimated useful lives.

5.9 Plan assets held in the trust are governed by local regulations which mainly includes the Trusts Act, the Income Tax Rules, 2002 and Rules under the Trust Deed of the plan. The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the plan obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. The Company does not use derivatives to manage its risk. Investments are diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets. Responsibility for governance of the plan, including investment decisions and contribution schedules, lies with the Board of Trustees.

  • 5.12 Mortality was assumed to be based on SLIC 2001-05 ultimate mortality rates, rated down by one year.
  • 5.13 The expected charge to statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Company for defined benefit plan obligation for the next year is Rupees 2.283 million.
  • 5.14 The Company's contribution to defined benefit plan in year 2026 is expected to be Rupees 0.918 million. There are no minimum funding requirements to the defined benefit plan. The actuary conducts separate valuations for calculating contribution rates and the Company contributes to the gratuity fund according to the actuary's advice. Expense of the defined benefit plan is calculated by the actuary.
  • 5.15 The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan is 2.19 years.

5.16 Sensitivity analysis for actuarial assumptions:

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation as at reporting date to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:

Impact on defined benefit plan
Changes in

(%)
Increase in

Decrease in
assumption
(Rupees in thousand)
Discount rate 1 13,090 13,676
Future salary increases 1 13,729 13,034

The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

5.17 The expected return on plan assets is based on the market expectations and depends upon the asset portfolio of the plan, at the beginning of the period, for returns over the entire life of related obligation. The expected return on plan assets was determined by considering the expected returns available on the assets underlying the current investment policy. Expected yields on term deposits are based on gross redemption yields as at the reporting date.

8 CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

8.1 Contingencies

i) Up to the year ended 31 December 2002, the Company had recorded and paid to the Federal Treasury contributions on its annual profit as per the provisions of the Companies Profits (Workers Participation) Act, 1968 (the Act).

Based on legal advice, the Company filed a petition on 15 April 2004 in the Honorable Lahore High Court challenging the application of the Act to the Company on the grounds that since inception the Company has not employed any person who falls within the definition of the term "Worker" as per the provisions of the Act. The Company asserts that it had erroneously deposited in the past certain sums with Federal Treasury as contributions of Workers' Profit Participation Fund (WPPF) and Workers' Welfare Fund (WWF), although it was not obligated to make such payments. The petition was filed subsequent to the Company's receipt of the Federal Board of Revenue's Income Tax / Wealth Tax Circle's letter dated 30 March 2004 directing the Company to allocate five percent of its net profit towards the WPPF and deposit the un-utilized amount of the WPPF in the Federal Treasury. The petition was filed against the Labour, Manpower and Overseas Pakistani Division of Ministry of Labour, Manpower and Overseas Pakistanis which was later dismissed for non-prosecution.

Consequent to the amendments that were made in the Act through the Finance Act, 2006, the Company was required to pay 5% of its profits to WPPF from the financial year 2006. The Company established a workers' profit participation fund to comply with the requirements of the Companies Profit (Workers Participation) Act, 1968.

The management, based on legal advice, is confident that there is no likelihood to assert that the scheme shall be applicable to the Company during the aforementioned period and the Company shall not be required to make any payments under the provision of the Act. Consequently, no provision has been recognized in these financial statements.

ii) Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue (DCIR) issued order dated 17 January 2013 to the Company in which sales tax refund claims amounting to Rupees 910.122 million for the tax periods from November 2008 to July 2012 were rejected by apportioning input sales tax between capacity invoices and energy invoices and allowed input sales tax allocated to energy invoices only. Against aforesaid order, the Company filed appeal before Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [CIR(A)] on 21 June 2013, which was decided in favour of the Company. On 16 September 2013, against the order of CIR(A), tax department filed appeal before the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR).

Being aggrieved with the order of DCIR, the Company preferred an appeal before CIR(A) on 15 August 2021. On 10 November 2021, CIR(A) annulled the order passed by DCIR and directed to allow reasonable time to the Company of being heard. Against the order of CIR(A), the Company filed an appeal before ATIR on 16 December 2021, which is pending for hearing.

On 19 June 2021, ACIR passed a detailed order whereby the recoverability of sales tax claimed against capacity purchase price amounting to Rupees 699.763 million alongwith default surcharge and penalty was connected with the outcome of decision of Honourable Supreme Court in the same matter as explained above. Moreover, ACIR also raised a demand of Rupees 4.612 million on account of inadmissible claim of input sales tax and sales tax on sale of residue of extracts from furnace oil. Against the order of ACIR, the Company preferred an appeal before CIR(A) on 19 July 2021. On 10 March 2022, CIR(A) passed an order whereby partial relief was provided to the Company.

On 13 June 2022, ATIR passed an order and remanded back the case to assessing officer for fresh consideration. Being aggrieved by the order of ATIR, on 28 December 2022, the tax department filed reference in Honourable Lahore High Court, Lahore which is in process of hearing. On 06 November 2023, the assessing officer has started proceedings afresh. The Company is in the process of preparing appropriate response on the subject matter.

On 29 November 2025, DCIR passed an order under section 11 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 creating a demand of Rupees 722.846 million alongwith default surcharge and penalty relating to disallowance of input sales tax on capacity purchase price.

On 30 January 2026, subsequent to the reporting period, ATIR has decided the matter in favor of the Company and deleted the subject demand alongwith default surcharge and penalty.

Based on the advice of legal counsel, the management is of the view that there are meritorious grounds available to defend these cases. Further, during the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company has signed Negotiated Settlement Agreement with the Power Purchaser wherein it has been agreed that in case the appeals regarding apportionment of input sales tax imposed on the capacity purchase price, pending before the Apex courts are decided finally in favor of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), and the Company is required to make payment to the FBR after exhausting all legal remedies, the Power Purchaser shall be obliged to reimburse the payment to the Company within 30 days of the invoice, after making the payment by the Company. Consequently, no provision for these cases has been made in these financial statements.

  • iii) DCIR through an assessment order dated 11 August 2015 rejected the deferred sales tax refund claims of different tax periods amounting to Rupees 81.850 million on the grounds that the Company has failed to prove admissibility of refund claims in the light of objection raised by Sales Tax Automated Refund Repository (STARR). On 18 October 2017, the Company filed an appeal before CIR(A) whereby CIR(A) has granted relief to the Company and directed the department to allow Company's refund claim after proper verification of underlying documents and refund should be curtailed if the Company failed to provide the proof. The management is of the view that there are meritorious grounds available to prove the genuineness of the refund claims. Consequently, no provision has been made in these financial statements.
  • iv) The Company filed application to Federal Board of Revenue (ìthe Boardî), to condone the time limits to correct the wrongly carried forward input sales tax relating to tax period February 2013 amounting to Rupees 61.461 million.

  • vi) The Company identified certain sales tax invoices relating to tax periods from July 2010 to September 2017 where the Company duly discharged the liabilities by making payments to suppliers whereas input sales tax aggregating to Rupees 95.166 million was not adjusted against the output sales tax for the respective tax periods.

In response to the Company's application, the Board called for a report on factual merits of the Company's application.

33 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

33.1 Financial risk factors

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, other price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management programmed focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the Company's finance department under policies approved by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Company's finance department evaluates and hedges financial risks. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as currency risk, other price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and investment of excess liquidity. All treasury related transactions are carried out within the parameters of these policies.

(a) Market risk

(i) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions or receivables and payables that exist due to transactions in foreign currencies.

The Company is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the United States Dollar (USD). As on reporting date, the Company's foreign exchange risk exposure is restricted to payables only. The Company's exposure to currency risk was as follows:

2025 2024
Trade and other payables
Net exposure - USD
The following significant exchange rates were applicable
during the year:
6,594 315
Rupees per US Dollar
Average rate
Reporting date rate
281.51
280.55
278.53
278.55

Sensitivity analysis

If the functional currency, at reporting date, had weakened / strengthened by 5% against the USD (2024: 5% against the USD) with all other variables held constant, the impact on loss before levy and taxation for the year would have been Rupees 0.092 million higher / lower (2024: Profit before levy and taxation for the year would have Rupees 0.004 million lower / higher), mainly as a result of exchange losses on translation of foreign exchange denominated financial instruments. Currency risk sensitivity to foreign exchange movements has been calculated on a symmetric basis. The sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of inherent currency risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the year.

(ii) Other price risk

Other price risk represents 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 interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to equity price risk since there are no investments in equity securities traded in the market at the reporting date. The Company is also not exposed to commodity price risk since it does not hold any financial instrument based on commodity prices.

(iii) Interest rate risk

This represents 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 bank balances in saving accounts. Financial instruments at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial instruments, if any, at fixed rate expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Companyís interest bearing financial instruments was as follows:

2025 2024
(Rupees in thousand)
Fixed rate instruments - -
Floating rate instruments
Financial assets
Bank balances - saving accounts 19,847 53,427
Financial liabilities - -
Net exposure 19,847 53,427

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

If interest rates at the reporting date, fluctuates by 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, loss before levy and taxation for the year would have been Rupees 0.198 million lower / higher (2024: Profit before levy and taxation for the year would have Rupees 0.534 million higher / lower), mainly as a result of higher / lower interest income. This analysis is prepared assuming the amounts of assets and liabilities outstanding at reporting dates were outstanding for the whole year.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:

2025 2024
(Rupees in thousand)
Loans to employees 2,197 33,000
Long term security deposits 2,326 1,850
Other receivables - 27,359

Bank balances 20,547 686,085
9,202,926 9,838,527

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (If available) or to historical information about counterparty default rate:

Due to the Company's long standing business relationships with these counterparties and after giving due consideration to their strong financial standing, management does not expect non-performance by these counter parties on their obligations to the Company. Accordingly the credit risk is minimal.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. As on 31 December 2025, the Company had Rupees Nil (2024: Rupees 4,890 million) available borrowing limits from financial institutions, Rupees 9,177.750 million (2024: Rupees 9,087.720 million) short term investments and Rupees 21.072 million (2024: Rupees 686.673 million) cash and bank balances. Management believes the liquidity risk to be low. Following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including mark-up / profit payments. The amounts disclosed in the table are undiscounted cash flows:

34 RECOGNIZED FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(i) Fair value hierarchy

Judgements and estimates are made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in these financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the following three levels. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Recurring fair value measurements at 31 December 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
- - - - - - - - - - (Rupees in thousand) - - - - - - - - - -
Financial assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 9,177,750 - - 9,177,750
Recurring fair value measurements at 31 December 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
- - - - - - - - - - (Rupees in thousand) - - - - - - - - - -
Financial assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 9,087,720 - - 9,087,720

The above table does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value. Due to short term nature, carrying amounts of certain financial assets and financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current receivables, the fair values are also not significantly different to their carrying amounts.

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. Further there was no transfer in and out of level 3 measurements.

The Companyís policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

(ii) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include the use of net assets value (NAV) of Asset Management Company.
