Contingencies:

i) Consequent to amendment through the Finance Act, 2014, SRO 1,326,706 1,326,706 575(I)/2006 was withdrawn.

Court. These guarantees include amounts aggregating to

Rs 731 million on account of adjustable/ claimable government levies.

Based on advice from legal advisor the Company is confident that there are reasonable grounds for a favourable decision and accordingly this liability has not been recognized in the financial statements. Several hearings of the case have been held but the matter is still under adjudication.

ii) Due to circular debt in the oil industry, certain amounts due from the oil marketing companies (OMCs) and due to crude oil suppliers have not been paid/ received on their due dates of payment. As a result the Company has raised claims on OMCs in respect of mark-up on delayed payments as well as received counter claims from some crude oil suppliers which have not been recognized in the financial statements as these have not been acknowledged as debt by either parties.

iii) Guarantees issued by banks on behalf of the Company (other than 493 493 (i) above)

iv) Claims for land compensation contested by ARL 1,300 1,300

v) Price adjustment related to crude oil purchases as referred to in note 19.1, the amount of which cannot be presently quantified.

vi) Claim by the Company from Government on account of additional 595,094 464,638 deemed duty on High Speed Diesel (HSD). In the Policy Framework of 2013 for upgradation of Refineries, the Government had committed to enhance deemed duty on HSD from 7.5% to 9% subject to setting up of Diesel Hydrodesulphurisation (DHDS) unit. However, this incentive has been withdrawn on April 25, 2016.

The Company has strongly taken up with the Government the matter of withdrawal of additional deemed duty as this incentive was primarily given to recover the cost of investment on DHDS unit which the Company has successfully installed and commissioned.

27. NON-ADJUSTING EVENT AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

The Finance Act, 2017 has introduced tax on every public company at the rate of 7.5% of its accounting profit before tax for the year. However, this tax shall not apply in case of a public company which distributes at least 40% of its after tax profits within six months of the end of the tax year through cash or bonus shares. In accordance with the guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, liability if any, in respect of income tax due to non-distribution of dividend is recognised when the prescribed time period for distribution of dividend expires.

Aggrieved by this amendment, the Company has filed a petition in Sindh High Court (Court), Karachi. The Court has granted stay to the Company. No provision has been made in this respect as at September 30, 2017.
