ECONOMIC REVIEW  
The Fiscal year 2001-2002 has been most difficult and challenging year    
for the world economy in general and Pakistan economy in particular. The    
event of 11th September jolted economies around the world including    
Pakistan.  
   
The first half of the year was extraordinarily difficult one for Pakistan. Our    
country faced number of unforeseen shocks. The terrorist attack of    
September 11 and its aftermath, massive deployment of armed forces by    
Indian Government on Pakistan borders and continuation of drought    
conditions adversely effected the pace of economic recovery of the country.    
The economy has been experiencing imbalances.  
   
Pakistan's stance to side with world coalition in the war against terrorism    
Mas indeed the right choice and thereafter world began respecting Pakistan.    
The Government of Pakistan (GOP) has successfully rescheduled its    
foreign debt at much lesser rate of interest. Foreign Exchange Reserves    
nave remarkably risen and reached its highest ever recorded in the country's    
-listory. Inward foreign remittances have increased and value of Pak Rupee    
nas also appreciated. Due to successful monetary and fiscal policies of    
sresent Government, the economic creditability of the country has been    
snhanced in the world.  
   
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  
Even under this continuing mixture of financial constraints and opportunities    
3n macro level, the performance of your Modaraba has remained reasonably    
food during the year. Your Modaraba has been able to maintain its growth    
nomentum. The new leases amounting to Rs. 651.0 million were written    
is compared to last year of Rs. 595.0 million. Business of Modaraba    
Mhamdolillah, has been maintained inspite of intense competition with other    
narket players. The gross lease rentals have increased to Rs. 562.0 million    
rom Rs. 409.0 million and consistency in profitability has also been    
naintained.  
   
rour Modaraba has always followed the strategy of careful and rational    
ending approach. By applying prudent and judicious credit policies, the    
ecovery ratio of your Modaraba has always remained excellent with no    
iefault since inception.  
   
^s we stated in our last report that continuous shrinkage of margin and    
;ut-throat competition in reducing lease rates remained main problem for  
   
leasing sector. It is further intensifying with increasing number of    
commercial and investment banks coming in leasing business.  
   
However, as our corporate strategy, the selective marketing approach    
always remained focal point of our growth plans. Our assets portfolio    
remained well diversified in carefully selected Sectors. We have    
successfully penetrated in key markets through prudent lending approach.    
Considerable importance is also given to improve the ability to identify,    
measure and monitor the risk being undertaken by Modaraba.  
   
Despite continued tough competition and recessionary economic    
condition, our efforts are always to go an extra mile in providing excellent    
services to our customers and better return to our stakeholders.  
   
By the grace of Allah, for the last three consecutive years we have been    
honoured with "Excellence Award" by Modaraba Association on good profit    
distribution. This achievement undoubtedly is the result of our effective    
Management and sincere efforts. This acknowledgement serves as great    
source of encouragement and appreciation at one hand and inspires us    
to perform even better, on the other.  
   
FUTURE OUTLOOK  
   
The emerging global trends and developments in the Services Sector will    
create new opportunities and challenges in overall corporate business. Key    
determinant of economic directions of the Government is expected to    
remain on restoration of investor's confidence, poverty reduction, increase    
in long-term growth and debt sustainability.  
   
Any uncertainty from the forth-coming political events may subdue    
economic activity. The political risk remains the single largest unmitigated    
risk factor. Any political unrest could serve to divert attention from the    
reform agenda and undermine the government's efforts to restore investors'    
confidence. At the same time, intense competition for the available    
business is going to put more pressure on business growth, margin and    
profits.  
   
Deregulation and Privatization are key issues of the present government.    
Lot of work has been done on it. The process of privatization in power    
sector utilities, oil & gas and state owned banks are high on the agenda.  
   
Furthermore, the reform agenda pursued by Securities & Exchange    
Commission of Pakistan, (SECP) since last two years, have led to    
significant up-gradation and image building in the management of the Stock    
Exchanges of the country. The improvement in the management of listed    
companies with a view to make them conscious of their obligation is    
necessary to build investors' confidence. The steps being taken by SECP  
   
would encourage both domestic and overseas investors and help economy    
to move ahead in the line with global trends and will evolve better culture    
of corporate governance.  
   
We are fully abreast with forthcoming changes. We will strive to undertake    
all efforts to tap new business opportunities and avenues to move towards    
introducing innovative method of financing and resource mobilization within    
the concept of Modaraba operation. The Modaraba Association of Pakistan    
is actively engaged in development of Musharaka Term Finance Certificate    
(MTFC). Once it is approved this will give support for resource mobilization    
on long-term basis and would also attract investment from overseas    
Pakistanis and other Islamic countries. We hope that SECP would give    
their due consideration for early approval of the above instrument.  
   
Your management is confident to maintain growth tempo in coming years    
and give best return to our certificate-holders through operational efficiency,    
innovating new financial products based on Sharia, enhancing marketing    
skills and motivating workforce of the Modaraba. We are committed to    
create value for our certificate holders, provide efficent and quality service    
to our clients and promote sound business practices.  
   
CREDIT RATING  
   
As you are aware that your Modaraba is well positioned in financial sector.    
Due to its sound and strong financial position M/s. Pakistan Credit Rating    
Agency (Pvt.) Limited, (PACRA) has again maintained rating of A3 of First    
Habib Modaraba (FHM). The rating denotes an outstanding financial    
condition with consistent record of above average performance. As per    
PACRA's assessment FHM is one of only two Modarabas that has been    
placed in "A" category rating. This is the highest rating band in PACRA's    
rating scale for Modarabas.  
   
While assigning the rating PACRA has recognized the consistent    
performance trends and continued outstanding asset quality, which is an    
outcome of prudent credit policies and effective post disbursement '    
monitoring. Going forward, the asset quality and sound financial health of ,    
the Modaraba is expected to be sustained considering the highly j    
competent Management team of FHM.                               l  
   
HUMAN RESOURCES POLICIES  
   
Human Resources development and training is an ongoing and essential    
ingredient of corporate policy. We follow future oriented strategy focusing    
on employees personal and professional growth. From time to time all    
senior and junior staff members are attending different seminars and    
i/vorkshops so that they can be groomed for great responsibility with    
analytical, interpersonal, specialized skills to enable them to understand    
the cause-and-effect relationship and to think logically.  
   
We lay greater emphasis on employee honesty, integrity besides    
professional competency and we believe that intellectual team member    
leads to 'Good Governance".
