On stand alone basis: The Company earned a gross revenue of Rs. 18.925 million (2008: Rs. 4.542 Million) during the year through its normal operations of charging markup to its subsidiary. As during this year there were no capital loss on the investment portfolio in the listed securities as it was in the last year, the earning of the current year was quite stable. Finance cost on the borrowings of the Company was relatively increased due to increase in KIBOR rate evidenced during the year 2008-2009. On consolidated basis: during the year under review, turnover amounted to Rs. 49.176 million (2008:Rs. 41.616 million) representing an increase of 18% as compared to the previous year. This was mainly due

to increase in charging markup to its subsidiary at a higher rate. However, the cost of service were under control and rest with Rs. 33.413 million (2008: 52.236 million ) mainly due to further curtailing of head counts and measures taken for the reduction in production cost in its US based subsidiary. Other operating expenses have been reduced due to write off of various non-operational liabilities. During the current amortization has only been charged to the Customer list of the US subsidiary as the cost incurred on the development of the Software by local subsidiary had already been fully amortized during the year 2007 2008. Finance cost were comparatively higher this year due to increase in KIBOR rate during 2008-2009. The loss before tax has been reduced by 57% during the current year. In consideration of the loss for the year under review, the Directors have not declared any dividend or bonus payout to the shareholders of the Company. M/s. Haroon Zakaria & Co. Chartered Accountants, the independent auditors of AMZ Ventures Limited (AMZVL) and AMZ Access (Pvt.)

Similarly they also pointed that a trade receivables of Rs. 69.084 million from the foreign subsidiary are past due but no provision has been made in this financial statements.

The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance is that of the Board of Directors of the Company.

A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company personnel and review of various documents prepared by the Company to comply with the Code. As part of our audit of financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach.

Based on our review, except for the non compliance as stated in paragraph (9) of the statement, nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that the statement of compliance does not appropriately reflect the Companys compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in the code of Corporate Governance as applicable to the Company for the year ended June 30, 2009.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. Risk managed and measured by the Company are explained below: a) Credit risk b) Liquidity risk c) Market Risk The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Companys risk management framework. The Board is also responsible for developing and monitoring the Companys risk management policies.
a)
Credit risk Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties fail completely to perform as contracted. Out of the total financial assets of Rs. 428.5 (2008: Rs. 407.79) million, the financial assets which are subject to credit risk amounted to Rs. 428.49 million (2008: Rs. 407.79 million). All investing transactions are settled / paid for upon delivery as per the advice of investment committee. The Company's policy is to enter into financial instrument contract by following internal guidelines such as approving counter parties and approving credits. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is: 2009 Rupees Long term investments Accrued income Prepayments and other receivable Short term loans and advances Cash at bank-current account 5.1 304,128,440 32,820,856 35,100 91,509,727 5,525 428,499,648 2008 Rupees 304,128,440 13,895,128 1,315,100 88,439,146 13,409 407,791,223
37
b)
Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible to always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The company is not materially exposed to liquidity risk as all obligations / commitments of the Company are short term in nature and are restricted to the extent of available liquidity. The following are the contractual maturities of the financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:
Contractual cash flows in respect of long term financing are based on six months KIBOR + 5% and KIBOR+3.5%.KIBOR is 12.76% (June 30 2008: 14.19%). c) Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market price, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will effect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 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. At year end, the Company is not exposed to any currency risk. ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. At the balance sheet date the interest rate profile of the Companys interest-bearing financial instruments was as follows: - Bank of Punjab - Orix Leasing Pakistan Limited - B.R.R. Guardian Modaraba 2009 3 month KIBOR plus 3.5% 6 month KIBOR plus 5% 6 KIBOR asking plus 8%
38
2008 3 month KIBOR plus 3.5% 6 month KIBOR plus 5% 6 KIBOR asking plus 8%
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) profit and equity for the year by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on same basis for 2008. Profit and Loss 100 bp Increase (Decrease) 1,275,513 (1,275,513)
As at June 30 2009 Cash flow Sensitivity - Variable Rate Instruments As at June 30 2008 Cash flow Sensitivity - Variable Rate Instruments
848,428
(848,428)
The sensitivity analysis prepared is not necessarily indicative of the effects on profit for the year and assets of the Company. d) Capital risk management The Companys objective when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The company finances its operations through equity, short term borrowings and by managing working capital. Quantitative data for share capital and share premium is given in statement of changes in equity and data for short term borrowings is given in note 18 of the financial statements. Company's gearing ratio is 42.21% (2008: 44.59%). e) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The estimated fair value of financial instruments is not significantly different from their book value as shown in these financial statements. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. 32.

Our audit report on the financial statements of the subsidiary AMZ Access (Private) Limited includes following qualifications: c) during the year company has incurred loss after tax of Rs. 0.775 millio (2008: 62.348 million) and its accumulated losses reached to Rs. 377.058 million (2008: 376.949 million) and its current liabilities exceed its current assets by Rs.193.285 million (2008: 171.059 million). These conditions create doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern basis, accordingly company may not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities at stated amounts. That fact is not disclosed in these financial statements; the Company has not charged impairment to profit and loss account on investment in its subsidiaries for which going concern assumption is inappropriate. Had the impairment been recorded, loss for the year would have been increased by Rs. 101.375 million (2008: 85.375 million); the Company has trade debts of Rs. 69.084 million which are past due but no provision has been made in the financial statements. Had the provision been made, loss for the year would have been increased by the same amount; the Company had carried down revaluation of its property and equipment during 2003.In our opinion these assets are subject to the impairment test, however no impairment test has been performed. We could not determine the impact of such adjustments that may arise had the impairment test been performed;
d)
e)
f)
The company do not perform impairment test on goodwill arisen on the consolidation with subsidiary AMZ Access (Private) Limited and its impact on the financial statements could not been ascertained. The auditors of AMZ Access, Inc which is subsidiary of AMZ Access (Private) Limited has expressed qualification in the consolidated financial statements fort the year ended June 30, 2009 of AMZ Access Inc
41
with its subsidiary Global Transcriptions U.S.A. The qualification was expressed on non performing impairment test on the goodwill acquired in the acquisition of subsidiary. Had such test been performed loss in the Group's consolidated financial statements would be increased by the amount of impairment. In our opinion, because of the effects of matters referred in the preceding paragraphs, the consolidated financial statements do not present fairly the financial position of AMZ Ventures LIMITED and its subsidiaries AMZ Access (Private) Limited, AMZ Access Inc., U.S.A and Global Transcriptions U.S.A as at June 30, 2009 and the results of their operations for the year then ended.

48
4.2 Standards, Interpretations and Amendments To Published Approved Accounting Standards a) Initial application of a standard or an interpretation The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of July 01, 2008. IFRS - 7 IFRIC - 12 IFRIC - 13 FRIC - 14 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Service concession arrangements Customer loyalty programs; and IAS 19 - The limit on defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirement and there interactions.
Adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any material effect on the financial statements of the Company except for certain additional disclosures in respect of IFRS 7 included in the relevant notes to the financial statements. b) Amendments to published standards not yet effective The following revised standards and interpretations with respect to approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective revised standard and interpretation: Standards or interpretation IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised) IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs (Revised) IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised) IAS 32 - Financial Instruments (Amended) IAS 39 - Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement (Amended) IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment (Amended) IFRS 3 - Business Combinations (Revised) IFRS 8 - Operating Segments IFRIC 15 - Agreement for the Construction of Real Estate IFRIC 16 - Hedge of Net Investment in a Foreign Operation IFRIC 17 - Distribution of Non-Cash Assets to Owners IFRIC 18 - Transfer of Assets from Customers Date January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 July 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 January 01, 2009 October 01, 2009 July 01, 2009 July 01, 2009
"The Company expects that the adoption of the above standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the Companys financial statements in the period of initial application other than certain changes and / or enhancements in the presentation and disclosures of financial statements. 4.3 Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards, as applicable in Pakistan, requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
49
Judgments made by management in the application of approved accounting standard as, applicable in Pakistan, that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material judgment in the next year are as follows: a) Property and equipment The Companys management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charge for its property and equipment. This also includes estimating the residual values and depreciable lives. Further, the Company reviews the value of the assets for possible impairment on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property and equipments with a corresponding affect on the depreciation charge and impairment. b) Income Taxes In making the estimates for income taxes currently payable by the Company, the management looks at the current income tax law and the decisions of appellate authorities on certain issues in the past. c) Investments stated at Fair Value The Company has determined fair value of certain investments by using quotations from active market. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point of time based on market conditions and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matter of judgments (e.g. valuation, interest rates, etc.) and therefore, can not be determined with precision. d) Trade and Other Receivables The Company reviews its trade and other receivables regularly to assess amount of any provision required against such balances. 5 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 5.1 Basis of measurement These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as otherwise mentioned in relevant notes. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the accrual basis of accounting except for the cash flow information. 5.2 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT a) Property and equipment, and depreciation Initial recognition An item of property, plant and equipment is initially recognized at cost which is equal to the fair value of consideration paid at the time of acquisition or construction of the asset. The group accounts for property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases by recording the assets and the related liability. These amounts are determined at the inception of lease, on the basis of the lower of the fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments. Financial charges are allocated to the accounting period in a manner so as to provide a constant rate of charge on the outstanding liability. Measurement subsequent to initial recognition Carried using revaluation model Communication equipments are stated at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined by external professional valuers with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.
50
Carried using cost model Property, plant and equipments other than those mentioned above are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
