CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors of your Bank are pleased to present to you the financial results of the Bank for the fiscal year
ended 30 June 1997.
Fiscal 1997 was a difficult year for our industry. Political uncertainty, poor economy, rapidly depreciating
rupee, extreme volatility in the stock markets, numerous changes in the banking laws and banking sector
have made life difficult for all of us. In many respects it was a continuation of the previous fiscal year.
Our results reflect this poor economic environment. The financial results of the Bank as of 30 June, 1997 are
as follows:
(Rs' 000)
Profit before provisions 1,948
Provisions (3l,164)
----------
(Loss) before tax (29, 216)
Taxation 6,365
----------
After tax (Loss) (22,851)
=========
However, this is a significant improvement over the first six months of the fiscal year. Our December 1996
results showed an after tax loss of Rs. 49.8 Million. The reasons for this turnaround in the second half of the
year were:
· In the last Annual Report we had advised you that there could be an upside potential to our mark
to market policy on our investment portfolio. During this period we were able to realize both -
through actual disinvestment and through reduced 'provisions'. As markets improve further,
we foresee further claw back of the provisions.
· Reduction in our operating expenses as a result of closure of Sialkot Branch, of the incomplete
Islamabad Office and of the in house brokerage business.
· Greater focus on recovery of doubtful morabaha portfolio.
· General overall focus on business.
During the year we have further broadened our franchise. We have taken a substantial interest in Paramount
Leasing Ltd. This is part of our plan to be a financial conglomerate. We are the only Group with a commercial
bank, investment bank, brokerage and leasing company. In addition Dallah AlBaraka Group continues to
support these businesses from abroad i-e Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Kingdom. Our commitment
to Islamic finance and banking is unequivocal.
Our long term customer deposits have increased from Rs. 72.3 million to Rs. 509.1 million - a 6 fold
increase. It is beneficial for your Bank to have long term funds and is also consistent with the State Bank
emphasis on such deposits.
Our Morabaha portfolio has declined from Rs.2.06 billion to Rs. 1.76 billion - a reduction of over 14%. This
is as a result of our emphasis on risk-reward relationship, as well as continuing emphasis on relationship
profitability rather than deal profitability alone. This reduction has also facilitated in our compliance of
capital adequacy rule of 1: 10.
We have a long way to go in restructuring and positioning your Bank as a premier Islamic Investment Bank
in the market place. We need:
· A new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who could lead the bank. Since July 1997, we have no
CEO. In the interim, Mr. Faisal. A. Jamall - Assistant General Manager of our Karachi Branch
is acting as CEO.
· To increase our capital. Due to strict compliance with State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) rules and
our prudent policies, current net worth has been depleted. Furthermore, current capital will not
allow us to grow - since we are at I : 10 capital adequacy ratio, allowed by the SBP. We are,
therefore, proposing for your approval a capital injection of Rs. 155 million. We recognize that
based on our recent performance and current unstable market conditions, it is a challenge to
raise new capital but we are looking forward to your continuing commitment and support to
your Bank.
· To introduce truly Islamic products both on asset and liability side. We have begun this process
by seeking guidance from Maulana Taqi Usmani, one of Dallah Albaraka Group's International
Sharia Advisors, as well as Mr. Yelcin Oner, your Director, who pioneered Islamic Banking in
Turkey.
· To further change current practices, procedures and current business focus.
We have had the following changes in the Board during the year:
. Mr. S.M.Siddiqui, of National Investment Trust (NIT) was replaced by Mr. Shahid Ghaffar as
the new Director.
· Dr. Omar Zohair Hafez of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) was replaced by Dr. Morteza
Gharehbaghian as the new Director.
. Mr. Salman All Shaikh resigned as the CEO/Director. In his place Mr. Faisal. A.Jamall, acting
CEO, has been co-opted as the new Director.
We thank the departing Directors for their contributions and look forward to the new Directors to lead your
Bank and help achieve the objectives.
We continue to foresee volatile and unstable markets. It is critical that we remain conservative and prudent.
Furthermore, we must learn from our past experiences and remain focused.
On behalf of the Shareholders and the Board, we thank the staff for their dedication and hard work put in
during the year. We also thank State Bank of Pakistan for their guidance and are most thankful to our
customers for continuing to direct their business to your Bank.
We look forward to your continuing support especially in increasing the capital, at the next Annual General
Meeting.
