Loans and advances 114,854,976 40,876,959
Deposits 108,516,651 89,680,619
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Asset Investment Bank earned a total income of Rs. 68.84 million during the period ended
June 30, 1996. Out of the total income, 55.53% was generated from profit/discount on loans
and advances. Other sources include income from Government securities 5.08%, income from
bank deposits 24.51% and dividend income 3.72%
Income from non-fund based transactions (namely consultancy, guarantees and underwritings)
in the shape of commission and fees increased substantially to Rs. 10.97 million (Rs. 1.98 million
in 1994) which comes to 15.94% of the total income.
The auditors' observation in para (e) of their report has been explained in note 16.1 and 17.1' of
notes to the accounts.
Our results for the period ended 30th June, 1996 have not been as encouraging as was forecasted
in the 1994 report, due almost entirely to political and economic instability and virtual collapse
of stock exchange activity.
Further, major factors responsible are interalia, as follows:
1. Continued restrictions on the Government corporations to place their funds with
  nationalized banks only;
2. Decline in general public savings due to heavy infiationery pressures;
3. Very discouraging stock exchange activities (The bank holds substantial investments in
  shares of various companies and the return on investments in shares remained very
  low);
4. Public companies were unable to declare handsome amount of dividends;
5. Restrictions on the investment banks to accept foreign currency deposits for less than
  two years maturity period (which was subsequently relaxed to one year) and restrictions
  by State Bank of Pakistan to mobilize foreign currency deposits from residents.
However, due to constrain of funds, special efforts were made to increase the income' of
fees and commission by procuring non-fund based transactions. As a result, the income
from fee and commission increased by five fold from Rs. 1.98 million in 1994 to Rs. 10.97
million in 1996.
6. Booked losses in respect of sale of shares, whose diminution in market value considered
  permanent.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Investment banks are performing an important economic activity. However, investment banks
need immediate attention of the policy makers for allowing them to enter into wider range of
activities without imposing unnecessary restrictions. The government's continuing policy of
deregulation and privatization could be viewed as positive sign in this direction.
PATTERN OF SHAREHOLDING
The pattern of shareholding as at June 30, 1996 is annexed.
AUDITORS
The present auditors M/S Ford, Rhodes, Robson, Morrow, Chartered Accountants retire, and
being eligible offer themselves for re-appointment.
