early days, the Company supplied rice processing plants and machinery to Government of Pakistan and later, in
1967, it set up its first rice processing plant. In 1990, the Company set up Pakistan’s first fully automated, modern
rice processing plant supplied by Satake Corporation of Japan. In 1999, first container of Matco’s own brand Falak
was shipped.
Since then Matco is continuing to grow from strength to strength at the top end of rice processing industry, the
Company undertook backward integration by setting up a state of the art rice paddy drying, husking plant in
Sadhoke District near Gujranwala in 2010 to eliminate wastage and paddy drying losses.
A graph on the summary of operational history of Matco is shown below:
2.1.2 Financial Performance
Since FY 2013, Matco net profit grew at compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 19.7% while the sales of the
Company remain stable during the same period. The growth in the bottom line of the Company is owing to its
innovation, market development, extensive distribution reach and expanding product portfolio.

During FY 2016, Matco’s volumetric growth in basmati exports outperformed the industry. However, with falling
international rice prices, the Company exhibited a lower revenue base. As a result, margins of the Company
reduced coupled with higher inventory carrying cost. On the back of the recovery in international rice prices, the
Company reported significant improvement in bottom line in FY 2017, and the management of the Company
expects this trend to continue for the coming years.

Matco is an export oriented Company, with the exports representing more than 90% of the total sales volume.
Contribution of export sales of Basmati and IRRI rice in the topline of Company is around 80%. Apart from export
sales, the Company drives significant portion of its revenue from sale of by-products which includes rice bran, husk,
broken rice and color sorter rice.

2.2 BOOK BUILDING PROCEDURE
2.2.1 Brief Structure
The Present Issue

The Issue comprises 29,143,000 Ordinary Shares of face value of PKR 10.00/- each which constitutes 25% of the
Post IPO paid up capital of the Company.
The Issue is being made through the Book Building process at a Floor Price of PKR 26/- per Ordinary Share (including
a premium of PKR 16/- per Ordinary Share). The bidders shall be allowed to place bids for one hundred percent
(100%) of the issue size and the Strike Price shall be the price at which one hundred percent (100%) of the issue
size is subscribed. However, the successful bidders would be allotted only seventy-five percent (75%) of the issue
size i.e. 21,857,000 and the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) i.e. 7,286,000 would be offered to the retail
investors.
The bidders shall give an undertaking along with the application that they would subscribe to the unsubscribed
shares, if any, of the retail portion and their remaining bid money would remain deposited/ blocked till allotment
of unsubscribed shares of the retail portion, if any, to them on pro-rata basis. In case the retail portion is fully
subscribed, the bid money shall be unblocked within one (1) working day or refunded within three (3) working
days from the date of confirmation of shares subscribed in the general public portion.
Within 3 working days from the close of the Bidding Period, a Supplement to the Prospectus will be published in at
least all those newspapers in which the Prospectus is published. The Supplement will contain information related
to the Strike Price, the Issue Price and category wise break-up of the successful bidders. Format of the Supplement
is given on page 2 of this Prospectus.
2.2.2 Types of Bids and Procedure for making a Bid
Book Building is a process whereby investors bid for a specific number of shares at various prices. The Issuer set a
Floor Price, which is the minimum / lowest price a Bidder can bid at. An order book of bids is maintained by the
Book Runner, which is then used to determine the Strike Price through the “Dutch Auction Method”.
Under the Dutch Auction Method, the Strike Price is determined by lowering the Bid Price to the extent that the
total number of shares issued through the Book Building process are subscribed.
A bid by a Bidder can be a “Limit Bid”, or a “Step Bid”, each of which are explained below:
 Limit Bid: Limit bid is at the Limit Price, which is the maximum price a Bidder is willing to pay for a specified
number of shares.
In such a case, a Bidder explicitly states a price at which he / she / it is willing to subscribe to a specific number
of shares. For instance, a Bidder may bid for 2 million shares at PKR 28.00 per share, based on which the total
Application Money would amount to PKR 56 million. In this case the Bid Amount will be also PKR 56 million.
Since the Bidder has placed a Limit Bid at PKR 28.00 per share, this indicates that he / she / it is willing to
subscribe the shares at a price up to PKR 28.00 per share.
 Step Bid: A series of Limit Bids at increasing prices. The amount of any individual step shall not be less than
PKR. 1,000,000.
Under this bidding strategy, Bidders place a number of Limit Bids at different increasing price levels. A Bidder
may, for instance, make a bid for 1.0 million shares at PKR 26.00 per share, 0.7 million shares at PKR 27.00 per
share and 0.5 million shares at PKR 28.00 per share. Therefore, in essence the Bidder has placed one Step Bid
comprising of three Limit Bids at increasing prices. The Bid amount will be PKR 58.9 million. In case of individual
Bidder, the Margin Money will be 100% i.e. PKR 58.9 million whereas in case of Institutional Bidders the Margin
Money shall be 25% of the Bid amount i.e. PKR 14.725 million.

On the basis of the figures provided in the above illustration, according to the Dutch Auction Method, the Strike
Price would be set at PKR 27.8 per share to sell the required quantity of 29,143,000 ordinary shares.
At PKR 35.0 per share, investors are willing to buy 2,800,000 shares. Since 26,343,000 shares are still available,
therefore the price will be set lower.
At PKR 27.8 per share, investors are willing to buy 2,000,000 shares. Since after bidding for 2,000,000 shares at PKR
27.8 per share, no shares will be available, therefore, the Strike Price will be set at PKR 27.8 per share for the entire
lot of 29,143,000 shares.
The bidders who have placed bids at prices above the Strike Price (which in this illustration is PKR 27.8 per share),
will become entitled for allotment of shares at the Strike Price and the differential would be refunded.
Investors who have bid below PKR 27.8 per share do not qualify for allotment and their money would be refunded.
Only 75% of the total shares offered through book building shall provisionally be allotted to the successful bidders.
The bidders shall give an undertaking along with the Bid Application that they would subscribe to the unsubscribed
shares, if any, by the retail investors and their remaining bid money would remain deposited/ blocked till allotment
of unsubscribed shares by the retail investors, if any, to them on pro-rata basis. In case the retail portion is fully
subscribed, the bid money shall be unblocked within one (1) working day or refunded within three (3) working days
from the date of confirmation of shares subscribed in the public portion.

Payment Procedure:
The payment procedures for a Limit Bid or a Step Bid are explained below:
 PAYMENT FOR LIMIT BID
If investors are placing their bids as a Limit Bid then they shall deposit the Margin Money based on the number of
shares they are bidding for at their stated bid price.
For instance, if an investor is applying for 2 million shares at a price of PKR 26.00 per share, then the total Application
Money would amount to PKR 52 million. In such a case, (i) Individual Investor shall deposit PKR 52 million in the
Book Building account as the bid amount which is 100% of PKR 52 million; and (ii) Institutional Investor shall deposit
at least PKR 13 million in the Book Building account as the Margin Money which is 25% of PKR 13 million.
 PAYMENT FOR STEP BID
If an investor is placing a Step Bid which is a series of Limit Bids at increasing prices, then he/she/it shall deposit the
Margin Money / bid money based on the total number of shares he/she/it is bidding for at his/her/its stated bid
prices.
For instance, if the investor bids for 1.0 million shares at PKR 26.00 per share, 0.50 million shares at PKR 28.00 per
share and 0.50 million shares at PKR 30.00 per share, then in essence the investor has placed one Step Bid
comprising three limit bids at increasing prices. The Application Money would amount to PKR 55 million, which is
the sum of the products of the number of shares bid for and the bid price of each limit bid. In such a case, (i)
Individual Investors shall deposit PKR 55 million in the Book Building Account as Margin Money which is 100% of
PKR 55 million and (ii) Institutional Investors shall deposit at least PKR 13.75 million in the Book Building Account
as Margin Money which is 25% of PKR 55 million.
2.2.17 Payment by Foreign Investors
Companies are permitted under paragraph 6 (with specific reference to sub para (B) (I)) of Chapter 20 of the State
Bank of Pakistan’s (“SBP”) Foreign Exchange Manual (the “Manual”) to issue shares on repatriation basis to non-

of the Manual the Authorized Dealer shall allow repatriation of dividends, net of applicable taxes and proceeds on
sale of listed shares (i.e. divestment proceeds) not exceeding the market value less brokerage/commission on
provision of prescribed documents.

channels. Such proof shall be submitted along with the Application by the non-residents.

indicative strike price. NO WITHDRAWL OF BID OR DOWNWARD REVISION IS ALLOWED.

2.2.21 Basis of Allotment of Shares
Bidders shall be allowed to place bids for one hundred percent (100%) of the Issue size and the Strike Price shall be
the price at which one hundred percent (100%) of the Issue is subscribed via the Dutch Auction Method.
Once the Strike Price is determined, all those Bidders whose bids have been found successful shall be provisionally
allotted 75% of the Issue size i.e. 21,857,000 Ordinary Shares.
In order to be a successful Bidder in the Book Building process, the bid price would either be higher than the strike
price or at the strike price.
For allocation of shares via Book Building, priority shall be given to the bids placed at the highest price. The bidders,
who have made bids at prices above the Strike Price, will be provisionally allocated 75% of the shares bid for, at
the Strike Price. The differential between the bid price and Strike Price, would be refunded based on the total
number of shares bid for.
Bidders who had placed Bids at the Strike Price will be provisionally allotted seventy-five (75%) of the shares bid
for, at the Strike Price, strictly on time priority basis.
Bids made below the Strike Price shall not qualify for allotment of shares and their Margin Money will be refunded.
30
The final allotment of shares to the successful bidders would be determined after subscription of the retail portion
of the Issue.
In the event the retail portion is undersubscribed, the unsubscribed shares would be allotted to the successful
bidders, on a pro-rata basis. Excess funds, if any, after subscription of the unsubscribed shares would be refunded
to the bidders.
Final allotment of shares out of the Book Building portion shall be made after subscription of the retail portion and
receipt of full subscription money from the successful Bidders; however, shares to such Bidders shall be issued
simultaneously with issuance of shares to retail investors, in the form of book-entry to be credited in their
respective CDS accounts. All the Bidders shall, therefore, provide number of their respective CDS accounts in the
Bid application as required under regulation 9(16) of the PO Regulations.
2.2.22 Refund of Margin Money
The bidders who have made bids below the Strike Price shall not qualify for allotment of securities and the book
runner shall intimate their respective banks for unblocking, where required, their Bid Money within one (1) working
day of the close of the bidding period as required under regulation 9(13) of the PO Regulations; and in case of
refund, the refunds to such bidders shall be made within three (3) working days from the close of the bidding
period.

Bidding Period, the Supplement to the Prospectus shall be published at least in all those newspapers in which the
Prospectus was earlier published and also disseminated through PSX.
The Supplement to the Prospectus would contain information relating to the Strike Price, the Issue Price and
Category-wise breakup of the successful bidders along with the number of shares provisionally allocated to them.
Format of the Supplement is given on page 2 of this Prospectus.
Public subscription for the shares shall be held at any date(s) within thirty days (30) of the publication of the
Prospectus but not earlier than seven (7) days of such publication.
2.2.24 Ten Percent (10%) Price Variation
An investor will not be allowed to place or upward revise a bid with a price variation of more than ten percent (10%)
of the prevailing Indicative Strike Price subject to floor price i.e. Bid Price must not be below the Floor Price. Please
note that the Indicative Strike Price may not be constant and may keep on changing during the bidding period.
Therefore, the 10% range will also change with the Indicative Strike Price.
For Example, if the floor price is PKR 26.0 per share and Indicative Strike Price at any given point in time during the
bidding period is PKR 26.0 per share, registered bidders may place or revise their bids from PKR 26.0 per share to
PKR 28.6 per share. If at any given point in time during the bidding period, the Indicative Strike Price changes from
PKR 26.0 per share to PKR 28.0 per share, the registered bidders may place or upward revise their bids from PKR
28.0 per share to PKR 30.8 per share.

Expansion Plan
Matco has recently diversified its operation within domain specialized products i.e. Rice Glucose and Rice Protein
Phase I with plant capacity of 10,000 MT per annum of rice glucose and 1,000 MT of Rice Protein per annum. New
plant and machinery for the project was supplied by Beijing Meckey Engineering Company of China. Phase I of the
Project has been successfully completed and commercial production of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein has started
on October 02, 2017.
Matco has also started selling rice glucose in local market to various end users in confectionary industry. The
Company has sold 7.5 tons of rice glucose up to October 10, 2017 to M/S Crest Enterprises, a distributor of rice
glucose. The Rice processed by Matco is primarily exported outside Pakistan to a portfolio of more than 150
customers and across 60+ countries worldwide. The Company further intends to export its rice glucose products
abroad as well owing to higher prices in the international market resulting in higher margins for the Company. The
Company is also in process of obtaining ISO, food safety and other necessary certifications required for export of
its rice glucose and rice protein products. According to study conducted by the Management/Sponsor of the
Company domestic market size of rice glucose is around 60,000 MT to 65,000 MT.
Details of Project
Matco plans to further expand Rice Glucose / Syrup and Rice Protein production capacity by installing an additional
unit of capacity 20,000 MT of Rice Glucose and 2,000 MT of Rice Protein, which will take the total production
capacity of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein to 30,000 MT and 3,000 MT per annum respectively post completion. The
Company will utilize the IPO proceeds for expansion of its production facilities. The production process of rice
glucose is vertically integrated to Matco’s existing business operations and uses broken rice which is by-product in
rice processing. Therefore, the broken rice requirement would be met internally.
Rice Glucose is used in the pharmaceutical, confectionary and baby food industry while Rice Protein is used in
dietary supplement, nutrition and animal feed industry. More value-added products such as high maltose glucose
and dry glucose maltodextrin (2,000 MT per annum) can also be made with spray drying plant. Products have very
good potential in local and export markets. In Pakistan, M/S Habib ADM Limited is engaged in the production and
selling of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein catering primarily to the domestic market. An another private limited
company is also engaged in production of sizeable quantity of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein which it exports mostly
to USA, UK, Australia and Canada.

1. The Company undertook a detailed study as part of the MBA project for the students of Lahore University of
Management Sciences. The results of that study has formed the basis for information on domestic, regional and global
industry
43
Domestic Industry
The domestic target market for Rice Glucose comprises of pharmaceutical companies, biscuits manufacturers and
confectionary companies. The annual consumption of rice glucose for the aforementioned industries is as follows:
Companies Annual Consumption of Rice Glucose (MT)

Pharmaceutical Companies ~15,000 – 20,000
Biscuits Companies ~25,000 – 30,000
Confectionary Companies ~20,000 – 25,000
Total ~60,000 – 65,000
As highlighted above, the domestic market size of Rice Glucose/Syrup and Protein stands at ~60,000 to 65,000 MT2
per annum. This market size is expected to register a growth in coming years as demand for end products using rice
glucose and protein i.e. pharmaceutical products, biscuits and confectionary products will increase owing to
growing population dynamics of Pakistan. According to Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, Pakistan population has
registered an average growth rate of 2.4% in the period 1998-2017 and currently stands at 207.7 million with
demographics skewed towards younger people.
At present, there are over 1,000 pharmaceutical, biscuits and confectionary companies in Pakistan using Rice
Glucose as their raw material which will be target market of Matco. The bargaining power of these customers is
low as there is only one company M/s Habib ADM actively engaged in manufacturing and selling of Rice
Glucose/Syrup and Protein. Matco is aggressively executing its marketing strategy to identify its potential
customers in local industry and negotiations are underway with some of them. Some of the key customers
identified till date are as follows:
Pharmaceuticals Biscuits Confectionary

Abbott Laboratories Pakistan Limited English Biscuits Manufacturers (Pvt.) Ltd Ismail Industries Limited
Zafa Pharmaceuticals Laboratories Continental Biscuits Limited Asian Foods Industries
(Pvt.) Limited Limited
Pfizer Pakistan Limited
Global Industry:
Internationally, the trend is also shifting towards increased demand for rice glucose and protein as a healthy
alternative to corn based products. According to Company sources, global demand for Rice Glucose stands at ~1
million MT of Rice Glucose with major export market comprising of USA, Europe, Middle East and Australia.
Pakistan’s share in export market stands only at 2.4% i.e. ~24,000 MT. Currently, China and India are catering to
the export market with fifty (50) companies from China and thirty (30) companies from India exporting to western
market. From Pakistan, ~90% of the exports are catered by a private limited company with exports to USA, UK,
Canada, Australia and other destinations. The prices at which Rice Glucose is exported from Pakistan over the past
three years are provided below:
Price USD/MT 2015 2016 2017

Rice Glucose 1,078 1,320 1,211
The Company is already in the process of identifying global customers based on export trade from Pakistan, China
and India and attendance in trade fairs. The following is a list of major players/importers identified by the Company
and the Company may purse these players for potential export purposes:

The rivalry within Pakistan industry is very low as only M/s Habib ADM concentrates on local market and a private
limited company concentrates on export market. Threat of new entrants is also minimal as there are high barriers
to entry due to heavy investment in technology, fixed assets and limited awareness in trade circles of rice glucose
usage and growth in the ingredients business.
2.3.13 Project Cost and Utilization of Proceeds

4 OVERVIEW, HISTORY AND PROSPECTS
4.1 COMPANY HISTORY & OVERVIEW
Matco Foods Limited (“the Company” or “MATCO”), founded by Syed Sarfaraz Ali Ghori in 1964, was initially a
supplier of Rice husking and polishing plants, grain dryers, grain handling, seed cleaning and grading plants to
various companies and the Government of Pakistan (“GoP”). Being one of the pioneers in the industry, MATCO
along with the Rice Export Corporation of Pakistan (“RECP”) set up some of the earliest rice processing plants in
Pakistan at Pirpi, Sindh and in Dhaunkal, Punjab.
In 1967, the Company set up its first own rice processing plant in Larkana, Sindh. As per GoP’s policies, the private
companies were prohibited to export rice by themselves. Therefore, the RECP, GOP’s export monopoly, used to
purchase rice from the Private Sector and export it. In 1989, when rice export by the Private Sector was allowed for
the first time, Matco established a state of the art rice processing plant in Karachi.
Since then, Matco has established itself as one of the largest Basmati rice exporter from Pakistan and “one of the
largest” rice exporters overall of Pakistan with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% for sales over the
last 10 years. The management has over 50 years of rice milling and industry experience with a strong record of
accomplishment.
The Company’s current rice processing facilities are spread over 1,000,000 sq. feet at four separate locations in
Karachi and one in Sadhoke, District Gujranwala, Punjab. It has a total annual processing capacity of around 134,700
Metric Tons, which is broken into eight different production lines. In 2017, Matco has established another
production plant in Karachi for the manufacture of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein from broken rice emerged in the
rice processing operations.

Apart from export sales, a significant portion of the Company’s revenue is driven from sales of by-products which
include rice bran, husk, broken rice, rice flour and color sorter rice. Snacks, bran oil and salt contributed 0.05%,
0.02% and 0.16% respectively to overall revenues of the Company in FY 2017.

after 30th June, 2017
Cost Drivers
Main cost drivers are domestic paddy / raw rice prices, utilities, wages and logistics. Company has incurred major
capital expenditures for paddy storage, drying and processing as well set up a Rice Glucose plant. Depreciation of
capital expenditure is also a major cost driver. Basmati rice is aged and matured before exporting, and the carrying
cost of inventory which includes financial charges on short term loans, insurance, and warehousing costs are also a
major cost driver. Direct taxes, provincial sales tax levies and delays in sales tax refunds are also another major cost
element.
Competitors Landscape
Rice industry of Pakistan is highly fragmented, therefore, any public data with respect to market share is not
available. Matco faces a direct competition from the following brands in the local rice market:
 Guard Rice
 National Basmati Rice
 Reem Super Basmati Rice
 Mughal Rice

4.5 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Matco Foods strives to be the most technologically advanced rice processing plant in Pakistan. The Company
operates five rice processing and milling plants, which include vertically integrated paddy drying, storage, husking,
processing and packaging facilities in Sadhoke, district Gujranwala, Punjab and Karachi, Sindh. Company’s
investment in plant and equipment exceeds US$ 30 million.
59
Karachi Plant
In 1990, Matco set up Pakistan’s first fully automated, modern rice processing plant, supplied by the Satake
Corporation of Japan. Presently, Company’s rice processing facilities are spread over 500,000 sq.ft at four separate
locations (Matco I, Matco II, Matco G-205 and Matco Small Packaging) in port city of Karachi, with its production
comprising of 6 different production lines. The Company has also installed 10 color sorters on its various production
lines, including 2 of the latest Series Z4 by Sortex (Buhler) and 2 by Satake. An infrared Color Sorter has also been
installed for detecting minute traces of glass and plastic in the rice. Total rice processing capacity of Matco Food’s
Karachi plant is 94,290 MT per annum which represents approx. 70% of total rice processing capacity of the
Company.
The Company has also installed 2 automated small packing facilities for packing smaller rice bags. Another small
packing production area is built on a new area of 30,000 sq.ft. on Super Highway Industrial Area Karachi.
Sadhoke, Gujranwala Plant
Matco has installed another state of art rice husking/parboiling plant on 15 acres of land in Gujranwala, the world
renowned rice cultivating district of the country, popularly known as the Basmati Bowl of Pakistan. With the
collaboration of the latest Japanese, Italian, British, American and Indian technologies, this facility includes modern
paddy dryers, rice parboiling unit and 6 silos that monitor humidity, temperature and moisture of the rice paddy.
The Company is also exploring the possibility of generating the most cost-efficient electricity, using steam
generated from rice husk for its own captive use.
The Company envisions to make this facility the single largest rice husking and parboiling plant in Pakistan. The
hallmark of this plant is the world class efficiency which focuses on preventing 10%-15% grain loss that occurs due
to post harvest losses, and the energy losses that are prevalent across many industries. Processing capacity, storage,
drying and parboiling capacities of Sadhoke plant are provided below:
S. No Description Capacity
1 Rice processing 40,410 MT per annum
2 Rice storage 32,000 MT
3 Paddy drying capacity 25 MT/hr
4 Parboiling capacity 100 MT/day
5 Milling capacity 20 MT/hr (2 lines)
60
In July 2017, Matco acquired assets of Iqbal Rice Mills, a proprietorship, which was established in 2012 by Ch.
Muhammad Iqbal for consideration of PKR 75,000,000. The facility is located at GT Road, Mouza Sadhoki, Tehsil
Kamoki, District Gujranwala with land area of 27 Kanals, 13 Marlas and 32 Sq.fts. Assets acquired by the Company

PKR 80,977,500. The acquired property is directly adjacent to Matco’s Sadhoke plant and will give operational
efficiency to existing operations of Sadhoke Plant.
Rice Glucose / Syrup and Rice Protein Plant
Matco has recently diversified its operation within domain specialized products i.e. Rice Glucose and Rice Protein
with plant capacity of 10,000 MT per annum of rice glucose and 1,000 MT of Rice Protein per annum. New plant
and machinery for the project was supplied by Beijing Meckey Engineering Company of China. Project is complete
and commercial production of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein has started on October 02, 2017. The production
process of rice glucose is vertically integrated to Matco’s existing business operations and uses broken rice which
is by-product in rice production. Therefore, the broken rice requirement would be met internally.
Rice Glucose is used in the pharmaceutical, confectionary and baby food industry while Rice Protein is used in
dietary supplement, nutrition and animal feed industry. More value added products such as high maltose glucose
and dry glucose maltodextrin can also be made with spray drying plant. Products have very good potential in local
and export markets.
Matco has also started selling rice glucose in local market to various end users in confectionary industry. The
Company has sold 7.5 tons of rice glucose to M/S Crest Enterprises a distributor of rice glucose. The Company is
also in process of obtaining ISO, food safety and other necessary certifications required for export of its rice glucose
and rice protein products and expects to get all the necessary certifications.

4.10 INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Pakistan’s economy continued its fiscal consolidation with a strong GDP growth of 5.28% in FY 2017, highest in the
last 10 years. Agriculture sector is vital component of Pakistan’s economy, the sector contributed 19.53% in GDP of
the country. Agriculture sector of Pakistan is source of livelihood of almost 42.3% of the country’s total labor force.
During FY 2017, performance of the agriculture sector remained up to mark, the sector witnesses a growth of 3.46%
compared to last years’ meager growth of 0.27%. Agriculture mix of Pakistan is heavily based on important crops
like wheat, rice, sugar cane, maize and cotton which accounts for 23.85% of value added in overall agriculture sector
of Pakistan.
Rice is a staple food for around half of the world’s population and has the third highest world-wide production as
an agricultural commodity. Rice production and consumption is concentrated in the Asia region with China, India,
Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan and Indonesia being among the largest producers and consumers of rice. Unlike other
countries, rice industry in Pakistan functions on market oriented principles. Government intervention and
assistance in the sector has been limited. Price levels are determined by demand and supply forces.
65
In Pakistan, rice is primarily cultivated in the alluvial plains of Punjab and Sindh both these provinces significantly
contribute to rice production that is locally consumed and traded internationally. Two main varieties of rice
exported by Pakistan are Basmati and IRRI. Rice sector in Pakistan contributes to export earnings, domestic
employment, rural development and poverty reduction. Falling just below cotton and textiles, rice is the third
biggest source of export earnings for Pakistan. According to statistics issued by Economic Survey of Pakistan (2016-
17) rice contributes around 0.6 percent to GDP of Pakistan accounts for 3.0 percent in the value addition of the
agriculture sector.

4.11 RISK FACTORS

4.11.1 Sector Risk
Sector risk is the risk that macroeconomic conditions deteriorate and rice industry as a whole suffers. Risk
associated with the sectors includes:
Water Shortage Risk

The recent water shortage, due to dams being built by India, may hamper crop growth thereby affecting the supply
of raw materials to the Company.
Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the threat that the change in price in the price of production input will adversely impact
the Company. Matco Foods is exposed to change in prices of raw rice and any adverse movement in raw rice prices
may affect the profitability of the Company
4.11.2 Operational Risk
The risk that the Company may face difficulties or malfunctions that may significantly affect the operations of the
Company. Operation risk includes risk such as technological obsolescence.
Technological Obsolescence
Rice Processing is a technologically intensive Industry with much being dependent upon the machinery deployed.
The value addition to rice is a result of the mechanized processes which improve the quality of finished rice to meet
International food standards and also reduce losses due to wastage. Since the value chain comprises of a lot of
processes, the efficiency levels and input costs are significantly affected by and is dependent on the technology
used. The technological risk associated with the Company might come from using obsolete machinery which may
not be viable to provide support for consistent growth.
Matco Foods, has in the past invested, capital, time and efforts to remain abreast with the latest technology to
maintain a strong-ground in the export market. The management of Matco Foods intends to continue on this
strategy of technological up gradation on a consistent basis in order to compete with regional as well as
international players. It intends to maintain investment in expanding, modernizing and upgrading its machinery, as
and when required, and keep pace with advancements in technology in order to remain competitive in the future.
4.11.3 Legal Risk
Risk that unanticipated changes in regulatory policies and procedures could have an adverse impact on the
Company. Some of the legal risk that may affect the Company and entire sector includes following:
Tax Policy Risk

The government is promoting export oriented companies by taxing them at a lower rate; instead of the 30%
corporate tax rate, they are taxed at 1% of their sales. However, in case the Tax Policy is changed then it will affect
the profitability of the company.
Trade Restriction Risk

Earlier, the rice processing facilities were not allowed to export rice by themselves. Rice export was not allowed in
by the private sector, only state owned monopoly RECP could export. After 1988 when national policy allowed for
privatization of industries and banks, the same approach was followed for allowing export from the private sector.
RECP which was a defunct organization was merged with the Trade Corporation of Pakistan (“TCP”)TCP. However,
very recently, TCP has also started to purchase rice from the Rice processing facilities through floatation of public
tenders in which the rice processing companies may participate at their own discretion. A potential threat due to
67
any regulatory change requiring the companies to sell all their produced to TCP may hamper their ability to meet
international demands/orders and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s demand in future as the non
fulfilment of order may drive away the customer.
TCP, however, is not particularly active, therefore this does not poses any major risk to the Company’s operations
at the moment. International trade over last 30 years has also changed comparatively from government-to-
government to business-to-business. International companies prefer dealing with private sector companies. Hence,
the Company does not foresee any change in international rice trade which shall mean that the private sector would
continue to remain a major players in the export market.
Furthermore, the recent intervention by TCP for procurement of rice in the recent past has primarily been for
donation purposes to Sri Lanka, Cuba for flood, drought and earthquake related humanitarian efforts. Lastly, REAP
is also effectively engaged to lobby against any export intervention by TCP.
Import Restriction Risk

Matco being a major exporter of rice is exposed to risk that rice importing countries might impose ban on import
of Pakistani rice.
4.11.4 Foreign Exchange Risk
Matco Foods being a major exporter of rice is susceptible to variation in the forex rates. Any fluctuations and
uncertainty in foreign exchange markets might affect profitability and exports of the company which can potentially
hamper operational and financial planning. Any appreciation in PKR against the USD or otherwise any stability
against the fundamental to devalue may impact the Company’s export pricing. However, the Company today is
focused on shifting its sales from unbranded/commoditized basis to sales under the umbrella of its brand “Falak”.
This would help the Company set its own pricing based on the strength of its brand and hence allow the Company
to absorb any adverse shock to exchange rate movement. The Company also has options of forward sales and
borrowing of FE-25 loans for hedging of any future exchange risk.
4.11.5 Credit Risk
The Company makes export shipments against Letters of Credit either at Sight or Usance. LC Usance is letter of
credit payable at predetermined time after the presentation of confirming documents, with the period varying from
30 days to 90 days. Nearly 80% of the export sales of the Company are against receipt of advance payment plus
Balance Cash Against Document (“CAD”) basis. The balance 20% sales are on Deferred Acceptance (“DA”) terms for
USA and UAE market.
Nearly 80% of the local sales are on cash basis and the remaining 20% on credit basis to customers such as Hyper
star and Metro.
Default by such parties would negatively affect the Company’s financial standing.
4.11.6 Risk of Delay in Commencement of Rice Glucose Syrup Plant
Matco is undertaking expansion of its Rice Glucose / Syrup and Rice Protein plant and is expected to be completed
by January 2019. However, there may be risk of delay due to delay in arrival of plant and machinery, operational
and technical issues during the installation and testing of the plant and machinery.
4.11.7 Export Risk Relating to Rice Glucose and Rice Protein Business
The Company intends to export its rice glucose and rice protein products internationally because of the higher
prices in the international market compared to prices in the domestic market. At present there are no restriction
68
or ban imposed by any target country on import of Rice Glucose and Rice Protein from Pakistan. However, in future
if for any unforeseeable reasons, these importing countries impose any restriction/ban on import of Rice Glucose
and/or Rice Protein from Pakistan than that would mean that the Company will have to rely on selling in the
domestic market where the margins are slightly lower owing to lower prices.
4.11.8 Risk of Increase in Project Cost
Certain components of plant and machinery which are to be imported are exposed to foreign exchange risk. Thus,
any appreciation in foreign currencies (USD or Euro) vis-à-vis PKR would potentially increase the overall cost of the
expansion project that is outlined under section 2.3.13.
4.11.9 Economic Slowdown Risk
Global economic slowdown coupled with deteriorating local macroeconomics may hamper growth for MATCO.
4.11.10 Increased Competition Risk
The Company may fail to retain and grow its client base due to increased competition, both locally and
internationally.
4.11.11 Interest Rate Risk
The Company has entered into various types of long term and short term loans / financing in order to finance its
projects and meet working capital requirement. Any unforeseen increase in interest rates will increase the cost of
borrowing for the Company and may adversely affect its profitability.
4.11.12 Capital Market Risk
After being listed on PSX, the price of the Company’s shares will be determined by market behavior, wider
macroeconomic events and the Company’s performance. Hence, the value of shares will fluctuate based on
movements in the securities market.
4.11.13 Under-Subscription Risk
The issue of shares of Matco Foods may get under-subscribed due to lack of interest on part of the investors. In
such a case, Book Building process shall be considered as cancelled if the Company does not receive bids for the
number of shares allocated under the Book Building Portion and the bid money submitted by the investors shall be
refunded accordingly.
4.11.14 Risk of Non-Compliance with Regulation of SECP and PSX
In the event of non-compliance with any regulatory requirements of SECP or PSX the Company may be placed on
Defaulter Segment of PSX which may potentially hamper trading in the Company’s shares leading upto potential
suspension in trading as well.
Note: IT IS STATED THAT ALL MATERIAL RISK FACTORS HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED AND THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN
INTENTIONALLY CONCEALED IN THIS RESPECT.

5.9 NOTE ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Company generates a significant portion of its revenue through recurring export and local sales of its brand
“Falak” basmati rice and IRRI rice. Export of rice contributes more than 70% to total revenues of the Company,
therefore, international rice prices and demand-supply dynamics of rice play an important role in the Company’s
profitability
Prior to the start of 2015, international rice prices saw a sharp decline which impacted the profitability and margins
of rice related companies. The price of rice declined in the international market from USD 1,330 per MT to USD 845
per MT in 2015, a drop of ~36%, which significantly affected the revenues and profitability of rice processing
companies.

During the same period, the sales of the Company declined by 25% from PKR 8,160 million to PKR 6,089 million.
Decline in revenue of Matco was attributed to global decline in rice prices. On account of lower rice prices and
declining margins, the Company processed only 78,801 MT of Basmati and IRRI rice, a decline of 20% compared to
98,433 MT processed in FY 2014. In order to avoid losses because of the declining margins, the Company catered
only to its long term customers. Subsequently, the Company resumed its normal processing from FY 2016 onwards.
Furthermore, the paddy (raw rice) procured at higher price in the start of the FY 2015 were processed and sold at
a lower price FY 2016 resulting in lower margins and profitability in FY 2016.
However, from late 2016 onwards international rice prices started to depict an increasing trend which has
continued its momentum to date. Currently, rice prices are around USD 1,129 MT. The upward trend in
international rice prices resulted in significant improvement in the Company’s margins and profitability during FY
2017.

11. Bids can be placed at “Limit Price” or “Step Bid”.
a) Payment for Limit Price:

If investors are placing their bids through “Limit Price” then they shall deposit the Margin Money based on the number
of shares they are bidding for at their stated bid price.
For instance, a Bidder may bid for 2 million shares at PKR 30.00 per share, then total Application Money would amount
to PKR 60 million. The Bid Amount will be PKR 60 million. Since the Bidder has placed a Limit Bid of PKR 30.00 per
share, this indicates that he / she / it is willing to subscribe the shares at a price up to PKR 30.00 per share.
b) Payment for Step Bid:

If investors are placing their bids through “Step Bid” which is a series of limit bid at increasing prices then they shall
deposit the Margin Money / Bid Amount based on the total number of shares they are bidding for at their stated bid
price. The aggregate amount of step bid shall not be less than PKR 1,000,000/- and the amount of any step shall also
not be less than PKR 1,000,000/-.

for instance, make a bid for 0.5 million shares at PKR 30.00 per share, 1 million shares at PKR 32.00 per share and 0.5
million shares at PKR 34.00 per share then in essence the investor has placed one Step Bid comprising of three Limit
Bids at increasing prices. The bid amount will be PKR 98 million. In case of Individual Investor, the Margin Money will
be 100% i.e. PKR 64 million whereas in case of Institutional Investor the Margin Money shall be 25% of the bid amount
i.e. PKR 16.0 million.
