2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS:
The modaraba has incurred a loss of Rs. 22.6 million during the year ended June 30, 1996.
Letters of credit were established for import of a shipload of 19,936 tonnes of cement in January, 1995. It was
expected that the consignment would reach Karachi in April 1995 and reasonable profits would be realized on
this transaction as per market intelligence reports. However, the ship developed engine trouble in-transit and it
reached the destination in July, 1995. Before the arrival of the consignment, the customs duty was increased in
the budget from 15% to 25% by the Government of Pakistan. We had no alternative but to pay the duties at the
enhanced rate in accordance with the legal opinion obtained by us. Furthermore, the customs duty was charged
at the much higher assumed landed cost as against the actual cost despite our strong protests and representa-
tions. In the meantime demand curve declined in Karachi coupled with increased supply of local production of
cement. Creating glut and the resultant competition was intense and the Modaraba was forced to sell cement at
low prices ending up in losses of Rs. 11.2 million on this consignment.
Due to frequent disruptions caused by deteriorating law and order situation, garment export business also
suffered, and only break-even situation could be achieved. The loss was further increased because of the
following:
Amortization of
deferred expenditure Rs. 4.4 million
Financial charges Rs. 2.4 million
- Provision for bad debts on musharaka
and morabaha transactions entered
in the preceding years Rs. 1.9 million
- Provision for diminution in value of
marketable securities Rs. 1.1 million
3. FUTURE PROSPECTS:
From preceding paragraph it shall be appreciated that a major portion of the loss incurred by the modaraba has
been due to reasons wholly beyond our control. The management is trying to diversify its activities and develop
fee & commission based business to enhance its revenue. Moreover, having built-up reasonably strong market-
ing base for export of garments, your modaraba is focusing more attention to the development of this line of
business on a regular and systematic basis. The orders received during the current year are encouraging. A
boost to stock exchange operations is also expected to contribute to the improvement in the overall performance
as soon as the stock market turns around.
In view of the above, we are hopeful that the modaraba will be able to show improved position in the next year's
results.
4. AUDITORS:
The present auditors, Messrs Ford, Rhodes, Robson, Morrow, Chartered Accountants, are due for retirement,
and being eligible, offer themselves for re-appointment for the year 1996-97.
5. PATTERN OF CERTIFICATE - HOLDING:
  The statement of pattern of certificate-holding is attached.
6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
The Directors wish to place on record their appreciation and thanks to certificate-holders for their continued
confidence in the Modaraba, to the authorities for their guidance and to the Members of Management and staff
for their dedication and hard work.
