Production History
Plant has successfully demonstrated over 40 days of cumulative production during periods of gas availability. On-spec production was achieved within hours of first ever start-up on 29th Dec 2010. So far, over 118 thousand tons of Urea has been produced from the new plant. First plant in Pakistan to employ highly advanced technology for Carbon dioxide recovery from flue gas. Results in urea production increase of upto 350 tons per day. Hydrogen recovery unit of Ammonia plant in the process of getting commissioned. Will add upto 200 tons of urea production. At full capacity, plant can produce over 3800 tons of urea in a single day Adjusted for service and capacity factors, annual production expected from the plant is around 1.3 million tons

Energy Consumption
Pakistans most energy efficient and State of the Art Ammonia / Urea Complex incorporating several unique features. First Fertilizer plant of Pakistan to utilize waste gas from Ammonia plant for power generation using State of the Art control system in Gas Turbine driven power plant. Plant is experiencing efficiency debit due to operation at lower load, however is still better than the design efficiency of most efficient competitor as well as Engros existing plant

Performance Evaluations
Urea plant has been operated upto 87% of design capacity (owing to gas limitation) Adjusted for gas curtailment, the plant has also demonstrated upto 100% of the design capacity and efficiency for few days. Analysis of plant data has been carried out to ascertain expected plant performance at full load conditions. Detail plant evaluations have been carried out by Licensors (Saipem and Haldor Topsoe), and re-confirmed by Engros technical team. Clean bill of health has been issued. Lenders' appointed independent engineer has carried out a thorough scrutiny of plant data and is satisfied with current plant operation and anticipated operation at full load conditions If more gas is available, the plant has potential to few % point above design capacity WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT

Project Cost
Overall project cost - Rs. 84 Billion (USD 1.14 Billion) Increase in project cost due to delay and loss of revenue has been covered through subordinate debt of Rs. 1.5 billion, IPO proceeds of Rs. 2 billion (to come in 3rd Q, 2011) and IFC loan of USD 30m Out of USD 30m IFC loan USD 20m has already been drawn down and USD 10m is in pipeline
Gas Situation
On country wide basis there is a shortfall of 20-25% however Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa invoked article 158 resulting in shortfall of 40% of total demand on SNGPL network Efforts are being made by GOP and industry to resolve the issue Short Term Solutions:
Import of HSFO - Possibility of importing HSFO instead of Urea Mari deep - diversion of identified non-pipeline gas to the fertilizer industry will reduce curtailment
Medium Term Solutions (2-3 years): LNG Efforts are being made to fast track LNG imports to reduce reliance on indigenous gas Gas Finds Fast track implementation of known gas fields - Sui network to bring additional gas of 400-450 MMSCFD in next 2 yrs chiefly from KP-TYA, Sinjhoro and Uch
-
Incentives are being given to encourage further gas exploration Alternate Fuels companies are also evaluating alternatives to reduce reliance on network gas

Pricing Power
2,600
Increase of Rs. 190/bag in December, 2010 to offset margin impact of 20% curtailment at expansion plant, along with 45 days winter outage, and 12% of curtailment at base plant. Further increase of Rs. 60/bag in April, 2011 to offset the impact of additional days of plant shutdown between February 2011 and April 2011.
1,050
Current Urea price Rs. 1,050/bag (Exl. GST) vs. Imported Urea price ~Rs. 2,600/bag (Exl. GST) i.e. based on Intl price of CFRKHI: USD 545/Ton (TCP tender opened in June, 2011) The company has the option and plans to raise prices further to offset the impact of gas outages Current price accounts for 90 days shutdown, 20% curtailment on expansion plant and 12% curtailment at base plant further increase in July will incorporate incremental shutdown days (all numbers are on annualized basis)
Local Urea Price (Exl. GST) - Rs./Bag Intl. Urea Price (Exl. GST) - Rs./Bag
Legal Status
Company is of the view that it is on a strong legal footing because:
100 MMSCFD gas was allocated through international competitive bidding process conducted by GoP, and upon payment of license fee Water-tight GSA with SNGPL guarantees uninterrupted supply, with right to first 100 MMSCFD gas production of the Qadirpur field Both Qadirpur gas field and expansion project are located in Sindh
Company moved Sindh High Court to enforce right to uninterrupted 100 MMSCFD gas
Company has obtained specific orders from Sindh high court, directing SNGPL to supply 80-100 MMSCFD to expansion plant no gas outage since the specific court orders except forced majeure due to issues at Zamzama/Sui gas field
Having confidence in future performance of Engro - IFC has agreed, in principle, to convert new loan of USD 30m to equity. This is subject to final agreement and regulatory approvals
