FOREWORD
United we stayed right from the word “go”. Devotion and coordination is what made this task happen. Though it was tiresome sometimes but it was our eagerness to prove something which kept us going on and on. And finally we have been able to reach at a point where we can say
with all our enthusiasm that “yes, we did it!”
For a blessed soil like ours, the worth of a fertilizer company became a motive behind our selection of Engro Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. and Fauji Fertilizer Company for comparison purposes. Our research revealed to us that Engro Chemicals Ltd. holds a stronger position as compared to
its counterpart. And ratio analysis also supports the fact discussed earlier.
Tables and graphs are also included to make this comparison more clear and to enhance the understanding of the numerical figures attained from ratio analysis.
We have put our heart and soul to hold a fair comparison but there is always a room for improvement. So we are quite right to adopt an optimistic approach to believe that Mrs. Labiba
Sheikh will ignore our mere mistakes, if found, because “to err is human”.

THE ORGANIZATION CONCERNED
Engro Chemical Pakistan Ltd.
Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited is a fertilizer company which is of their concern that has been introduced right below. They are going to make a full-fledge financial analysis of this fertilizer company in order to check its financial situation in the market. The analysis of each and every major ratio has been involved in this financial analysis. Then furthermore the interpretation of each and every ratio has been given to elaborate it.
An Overview
Search for oil by Pak Stanvac, an Esso/Mobil joint venture in 1957, led to the discovery Of Mari gas field situated near Daharki -- a small town in upper Sindh province. Esso was the first to study this development in detail and propose the establishment of a urea plant in that area.
The proposal was approved by the government in 1964, which led to a fertilizer plant agreement signed in December that year. Subsequently in 1965, the Esso Pakistan Fertilizer Company Limited was incorporated, with 75% of the shares owned by Esso and 25% by the general public. The construction of a urea plant commenced at Daharki the following year with the annual capacity of 173,000 tons and production commenced in 1968. At US $ 43 million, it was the single largest foreign investment by an MNC in the country.
A full-fledged marketing organization was established which undertook agronomic programs to educate the farmers of Pakistan. As the nation’s first fertilizer brand, Engro (then Esso) helped modernize traditional farming practices to boost farm yields, directly impacting the quality of life not only for farmers and their families, but for the community at large. As a result of these efforts, consumption of fertilizers increased in Pakistan, paving the way for the Company’s branded urea called "Engro", an acronym for "Energy for Growth".
As part of an international name change program, Esso became Exxon in 1978 and the company was renamed Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited. The company continued to prosper as it relentlessly pursued productivity gains and strived to attain professional excellence. In 1991, Exxon decided to divest its fertilizer business on a global basis. The employees of Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited, in partnership with leading international and local financial institutions bought out Exxon’s 75 percent equity. This was at the time and perhaps still is the most successful employee buy-out in the corporate history of Pakistan. Renamed as Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited, the Company has gone from strength to strength, reflected in its
consistent financial performance, growth of the core fertilizer business and diversification into other fields.
Investment in people, process solutions and resource conservation initiatives has reduced energy use per ton of urea by a third, whilst increasing urea production nearly six-fold since 1968. Not only does this save money, it stretches non-renewable energy sources and mitigates the impact of waste. Along the way, a major milestone in plant capacity upgrade coincided with the employee led buy-out; innovatively optimizing our resources, Engro re-located fertilizer manufacturing plants from the UK and US to its Daharki plant site – an international first. Our pioneering spirit continues in our social investments, exemplified by the only snake-bite treatment facility in the Ghotki region and the first telemedicine intervention in the country.

Engro’s share of Pakistan’s phosphates market mirrors or exceeds its urea market share.
Expansion plans include a new urea plant of 1.3 million tons annual capacity, also at Daharki. The US$ 1 billion project is well underway and on track for commercial production in mid 2010. This addition will increase Engro’s urea market share to 35% from 19% at present.

Current Ratio = 5684446000
3642415000
Current Ratio = 1.56
2004 - 2005:
Current Ratio = 5011555000
2800094000
Current Ratio = 1.79
Comparison over the years / Interpretation:

index of the company’s financial stability. It is also an index of the financial solvency and index of strength of working capital.
