Chairman's Review  
   
It gives me great pleasure to present before you the 12th Annual Report together with the    
audited accounts of Saudi Pak Leasing Company Limited for the year ended June 30,    
2002  
   
Leasing companies witnessed intense interest of commercial banks and DFIs in lease    
financing. Gradually the competition has come full circle with the banks and DFIs having made    
inroads even in consumer items, let alone the corporate sector. This has severely affected    
the business of leasing companies. Your company made lease disbursements of    
Rs. 615 million in the year 2001-02, as compared to Rs. 1,033 million in the previous    
year. Total revenues amounted to Rs. 390.53 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, as    
against Rs. 385.38 million, in the previous year. There has been an increase in income on    
investments, as the surplus funds were utilized in an effective manner in business avenues,    
permissible under the regulations, so as to make an optimum utilization of the resources.

During the year under review, the highest disbursements were made to textile sector,    
followed by transport and communication. Net Investment in Lease Finance stood at Rs. 1,775    
million as on June 30, 2002, compared to Rs. 2,112 million on the same date in the last year.    
Total assets amounted to Rs. 2,807 million as on June 30, 2002. The decline in Net    
Investment in Lease Finance was the outcome of relatively lower disbursements during theyear.  
   
The company enjoys the confidence of the lenders and depositors. As reported in the last    
annual report the new issue ofTFCs, was made in June 2002, for Rs. 400 million. It was    
oversubscribed, and green shoe option to the extent of Rs. 30 million was exercised. The    
resource position of your company is strong and the matching of the asset and liabilities is    
adequately ensured.  
   
The company does not foresee any unusual risk factor that may impact its performance    
significantly. JCR - VIS Credit Rating Company has assigned medium to long-term entity rating    
ofA+ (Single A plus) and short-term rating A-1 (A-one) to the Company. The outlook of these    
ratings is stable. The company has the resources to continue its business in the normal    
way and avail emerging business opportunities.

Operating profit dropped to Rs. 17.63 million from Rs. 28.88 million in the previous year.   
   
The decline in operating profit is attributable to the non-performing accounts, depressed return    
on equity investments and slow recoveries in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 events.    
The rise in financial and other charges was owing mainly to increased borrowing.    
Administrative and operating expenses remained under control.  
   
During the period under review, the company made concerted efforts to reduce its cost of    
funds. Important steps in this regard include issue of Term Finance Certificates at variable    
rates and re-negotiation of the mark-up rates on term loans, in the wake of falling discount    
rate. As a result, financial cost is expected to record decrease in the next year.  
   
The company adheres to a well-defined strategy of sectoral exposure to ensure diversification    
of risk. The maximum exposure to any sector as a percentage of Net Investment in Lease    
Finance is below 25 percent. Exposure to Textile sector was 22 percent, followed by Energy, Oil    
and Gas of 10 percent. Exposure to the Small and Medium Enterprises including consumer    
finance was 33 percent of Net investment in Lease Finance. As to the type of asset the    
maximum disbursements were accounted for by plant and machinery at 68 percent, followed    
by motor vehicles 16 percent and commercial vehicles of 9 percent.

Review Report to the Members on Statement of    
Compliance with Best Practices of Code    
of Corporate Governance  
   
We have reviewed the Statement of Compliance with the best practices contained    
in the Code of Corproate Governance prepared by the Board of Directors of Saudi    
Pak Leasing Company Limited to comply with the Listing Regulation No. 37 of the    
Karachi Stock Exchange, Chapter XIII of the Lahore Stock Exchange and Chapter    
XI of the Islamabad Stock Exchange where the Company is listed.  
   
The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance is that    
of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to review, to the    
extent where such compliance can be objectively verified, whether the Statement    
of Compliance reflects the status of the Company's compliance with the provisions    
of the Code of Corporate Governance and report if it does not. A review is limited    
primarily to inquiries of the Company personnel and review of various documents    
prepared by the Company to comply with the Code.  
   
As part of our audit of the financial statements we are required to obtain an    
understanding of the accounting and internal control systems sufficient to plan the    
audit and develop an effective audit approach. We have not carried out any special    
review of the internal control system to enable us to express an opinion as to    
whether the Board's statement on internal control covers all controls and the    
effectiveness of such internal controls.  
   
Based on our review nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe    
that the Statement of Compliance does not appropriately reflect the Company's    
compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in the Code    
of Corporate Governance as applicable to the Company for the year ended    
June 30, 2002.
