Orientation
Pak-Arab fertilizers Ltd. are the manufacturer of fertilizers and ancillary products, with a
focus on to be preferred fertilizer company for farmers, business associates and suppliers
through quality and services with safety, quality and contribution to national economic growth
and development.
The Company was incorporated on November 12, 1973. Subsequently, PIDC assigned 52% of its
shares to National Fertilizer Corporation (NFC) of Pakistan and ADNOC assigned 48% of its
shares to International Petroleum Investment Company, with a paid-up capital of PRs. 743.061
million.
Under the privatization policy of Government of Pakistan, Pak-Arab Fertilizers Limited was
privatized on July 14, 2005 at a cost of Rs.14.125 billion. It was acquired by the consortium of
Fatima Group and Arif Habib Group. Under the new management, Pak-Arab Fertilizers Limited
has undergone extensive modernization and new improved processes have been introduced to
maximize the output while minimizing the negative impacts on the environment. For this a
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) plant was installed, which is the first project of its kind
in Pakistan. Basic aim of this project is the abatement of N2O and NOX emissions from the
stack gases of Nitric Acid plant. The reduction of greenhouse effect of these gases shows the
new managements commitment towards a cleaner environment.
Location
Pak-Arab Fertilizers Limited is located at Khanewal Road, Multan. The site area comprises 302
acres, which includes area for the factory and the housing colony with all amenities including
medical center, school, management and staff clubs for recreation of employees and their
families, etc.

7. Co-Generation power project
1. Ammonia Plant
Based on Kellogg process, steam reforming of the natural gas, the plant commenced
production in November 1978. The plant had capacity of 910 MTPD, which was enhanced by
50 MTPD through addition of Purge Gas Recovery Unit in April, 1986.
The plant is designed to operate 330-days per annum (initially 320-days/annum prior to
capacity increase). Present energy consumption at the plant is 9.6 G.Cal /MT of Ammonia
(excluding non-productive gas), which was 9.464 G.Cal /MT of Ammonia during guarantee
period.

MTPD of 60% Nitric Acid strength. This line commenced production in 1963. Other two lines
have a capacity of 600 MTPD of 60% Nitric Acid. These two lines commenced production in
December, 1978.
The old line was modified in 1986 when an additional Absorption Tower was added, which
resulted in increase of Nitric Acid concentration to 60% strength and reduced pollution level
i.e. NOx Emission from 4000-6000 mg/cubic meter to 800 mg/cubic meter. The plant is
operated as and when required.
The two new lines have on stream factor of 330 days (originally 320 days). The old line
consumes 0.310 MT Ammonia/ton Nitric Acid (100% basis) while the new lines consume 0.290
MT Ammonia/ton of Nitric Acid (100% basis). Thus old unit of Nitric Acid consumes higher
energy. Approximately 40% of total Ammonia produced is used to produce Nitric Acid.
3. Urea Plant
A new Urea unit of 280 MTPD capacity commenced production in April, 1986 based on Snam
Progetti design. Old Urea unit, Evaporation unit and Prilling Tower were retained.
The new plant has 330 operating days/annum. Urea unit is a trouble free unit. It has the
highest production efficiency. The highest production achieved was 387 MTPD against design
of 280 MTPD (38.2% higher). Last year a production capacity of 101,754 MT of Urea as
compared to design of 92,420 MT/annum and was 10.12% higher despite gas supply disruption
due to load shedding (+ 13,619 M. Tons).
The plant was designed to produce 229.4 MTPD of P2O5 or 1,015 MTPD of Nitro Phosphate
(NP) having 22.6% P2O5 with 300 on stream days/annum. The plant could not produce NP
product at its rated capacity both in terms of designed quality as well as quantity at the time
of guarantees; Uhde was made to undertake modifications on the plant, which they
performed through addition of 2-lines of Crystallizers making total six lines. Similarly 2
centrifuges were added to 4 existing ones and additional refrigeration capacity was provided.
However, even after the modifications desired product quality could not be achieved. The
plant consumes much higher energy level as compared with design. In view of the fact that
plant could not produce 22.6% P2O5, the specs were revised to 20% P2O5 and 22% Nitrogen
(originally 22.6% each of Nitrogen and P2O5).
The process was based on license from Stemicarbon, Holland, while detailed Engineering was
made by Uhde, Germany.
Designed capacity of this plant is 1,500 MT per day of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate having 26%
Nitrogen contents and 1-2 % Potassium Sulphate as additional nutrient to stabilize the prills &
fulfill the soil requirement. It is manufactured by mixing 75% molten Ammonium Nitrate and
25 % Calcium Carbonate in the mixing tank at 170 Celsius. Around 550 to 700 MT of Ammonium
Nitrate is produced per day directly by reacting Ammonia gas and 60% Nitric acid in the
Neutralization Reactor. 1,050 MT of Ammonium Nitrate is produced per day in the CN Section
by reacting Calcium Nitrate solution with Ammonia and Carbon dioxide gases in the CN
Reactors. 600 MT of Calcium Carbonate is also produced per day in the same CN Reactors.
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate is hygroscopic by nature and absorbs moisture from the
atmosphere therefore it can be used in the soil without sufficient water. It contains 13%
Nitrate Nitrogen which supplies nutrients immediately to the plants and rest 13% Ammonium
Nitrogen gives food slowly till ripe up of the crop. Process of the plant is designed by Hoescht
whereas detail engineering is done by UHDE Germany. This plant is in production since 1979.
6. CO2 Plant
The CO2 Recovery Plant is designed to recover the impure, low pressure CO2 gas emitting
from the Ammonia Plant as a by-product gas and to produce purified, high pressure liquid
CO2. The capacity of this plant is 192 MT per day at a pressure of 21 bar. The temperature of
the Liquid CO2 is -20 C.
The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and
expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperature liquids. There are various
applications of CO2 which range from the use in Beverages, Manufacturing of Urea, Fire

Financial Analysis
The process of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets and other finance-related entities to
determine their suitability for investment. Typically, financial analysis is used to analyze
whether an entity is stable, solvent, liquid, or profitable enough to be invested in. When
looking at a specific company, the financial analyst will often focus on the income statement,
balance sheet, and cash flow statement. In addition, one key area of financial analysis
involves extrapolating the company's past performance into an estimate of the company's
future performance.
Financial Analysis can be divided into five categories:
1. Liquidity (Solvency) ratios
2. Financial Leverage (Debt) ratios
3. Asset Efficiency (Management or turnover) ratios
4. Profitability ratios
5. Market value ratios
Horizontal Analysis
Horizontal analysis (also known as trend analysis) is a financial statement analysis technique
that shows changes in the amounts of corresponding financial statement items over a period
of time. It is a useful tool to evaluate the trend situations.
The statements for two or more periods are used in horizontal analysis. The earliest period is
usually used as the base period and the items on the statements for all later periods are
compared with items on the statements of the base period.
Horizontal analysis can be performed in the following two different methods i.e. absolute
comparison or percentage comparison.
1. Absolute Comparison
One way of performing horizontal analysis is comparing the absolute currency amounts of
some items over the period of time. This method is helpful in identifying the items which are
changing the most.
2. Percentage Comparison
In the second method of horizontal analysis, percentage differences in certain items are
compared over a period of time. The absolute currency amounts are converted into the
percentages for the purpose of comparison. This method is useful when comparing
performance of two companies of different scale and size. We are performing percentage
Comparison Horizontal Analysis.

Conclusion
It is observed that the Pak-Arab Fertilizer limited is one of the biggest Fertilizers Company in
the Pakistan. They are producing 6 % of the total urea produced in Pakistan and has a
monopoly in the production of CAN and NP.
The analysis shows that the Net profit of the company is showing negative value. Which
means that the company is facing loss from previous two years. On the other hand the sales of
the company are also decreasing, to reduce the burden company is reducing its costs and
expenses.
According the investors point of view the company is facing over losses during the two years
due to which Pak-Arab fertilizers is not providing any financial reward to its shareholders. The
market value of its common share is also decreasing so investor cannot get any financial
reward form investing in it.
Although Pak-Arab fertilizers limited have the capacity to generate profits but they are not
utilizing there production facilities. The basic reason is that the company required natural gas
to produce fertilizers. Due to crises of natural gas in Pakistan and special in Punjab Company
cannot fulfill the demand of its production.
The analysis shows the company have more liabilities than the resources due to which the
company have a risker financial position.
Recommendations
1. Company should produce alternative agro products.
2. They should reduce its cost and other expenses to avoid its bankruptcy chances.
3. They should migrate to sind or any place where they can easily get natural gas.
4. They should sell out there land which is located in populated area, with which they
can reduce their liabilities
5. They should hire highly-qualified and experience administration to avoid the any
mismanagement during migration.
