Karachi: Paramount Spinning Mills Limited has released its detailed financial results for September 2020, showing a mix of operational losses and financial restructuring initiatives aimed at stabilizing the company.

In the month ending September 30, 2020, Paramount Spinning Mills disclosed a total operating loss. Specifically, the sales figures were reported as negligible while the gross loss and pre-tax profit were reported. The net loss, post-tax and extraordinary transactions, was noted to be consistent with pre-tax figures, highlighting ongoing financial challenges for the textile manufacturer.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company, which has been grappling with market challenges, is undergoing a significant restructuring. This is evident from the details provided in a recent court-sanctioned Scheme of Arrangement under section 279 to 283 of the Companies Act, 2017. The Scheme was approved by the High Court in Islamabad on October 25, 2019, which subsequently led to an arrangement with the company's creditors to adjust its credit terms and reduce financial strain.

The restructuring includes the assumption of significant financial liabilities by the banks and the conversion of these liabilities into long-term agreements. This arrangement, according to the report, is designed to free up operational capacity and stabilize the company’s financial health.

Management expressed optimism that these adjustments and agreements with the banks would place Paramount Spinning Mills in a better position to recover and eventually report profitable operations. The Board has also emphasized its commitment to enhancing corporate governance and maintaining transparency with stakeholders.
