APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

The present auditors Messrs Ford Rhodes Sidat Hyder & Company (FRSH), Chartered Accountants, retire being ineligible as per directive dated 5 March 2002 of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.

The shareholders are requested to appoint M/s A. F. Ferguson & Company, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Company for the year 2003 and to fix their remuneration.
