DIRECTORS' REPORT AND REVIEW BY THE CHAIRMAN
The directors of InterAsia Leasing Company Limited are pleased to present the fifth
Annual Report and Audited Accounts of the company for the year ended June 30, 1997.
During this period, your company has shown consistent growth in all areas of its
operations. The financial results of 1997 clearly reflect management's vision,
commitment and efforts towards developing a productive investment portfolio for the
company.
Financial Results
Lease Investments Rs. 313,765,045
Expenditure Rs. 44,076,571
Profit for the year Rs. 14,289,499
Net worth Rs. 129,577,957
Dividend
The board of directors has recommended a cash dividend @ 12.5% for the year ended
June 30, 1997.
Performance Review
While carefully analyzing the prevailing economic conditions in Pakistan, the
management of InterAsia Leasing has decided to make lease investments only in running
projects with good track record. During 1996-97, company's net investment in leases
grew 35.9%, from Rs. 231.0 million in 1996 to Rs. 314.0 million in 1997 while its total
asset size grew by 33.3%. The growth in performing lease investments reflects in the
profitability as the net profit of the company rose to Rs. 14.3 million as compared to Rs.
10.2 million in the preceding year. Your company exercised maximum prudence in the
credit evaluation process as only recession insensitive companies were identified and
vigorously scrutinized for advancing lease financing. The lease size was kept smaller in
order to diversify exposure risk as a result of which average lease investment has gone
down to Rs. 1.6 million per client in 1997 from Rs. 3.5 million in 1995. The company
believes in sustainable continuous growth in both assets and profitability.
Lease portfolio of InterAsia Leasing is evenly spread among various sectors and reaffirms
management's policy of risk diversification. The company has managed to reduce its
exposures in textile and cement sectors. It may also be pointed out that investment in
small and medium size companies is made keeping in view their sectoral dispersion and
competitive edge.
lnterAsia's focus on the productive
industrial sectors of the country is also
reflected by the fact that over 75% of its
asset portfolio comprises of plant and
machinery, while the care has been
taken to ensure that other assets of its
portfolio are also used in productive
activities of industrial and non-industrial
users.
Resource Mobilization
The slow down in economy,
unprecedented rise in number of
financial institutions and market
crowding out by the government has
made resource mobilization quite an
uphill task for leasing companies.
Despite this extremely competitive
situation, InterAsia Leasing
successfully managed to raise
adequate additional funds during
1996-97. The major growth was
seen in certificates of investment
(COl) where your company managed
to double the amount of COl from
the last year. To reduce the
mismatch of funds, long term credit
lines of Rs. 26 million were also
obtained. The company is
continuously trying to raise long
term matching funds from
international financial institutions.
For this, active negotiations are
underway and management hopes to
materialize sizable resources during
next financial year.
Focus On Small And Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
During 1996-1997, the small scale-manufacturing sector of the country as a whole has
grown by 8.4% as compared to large scale manufacturing which has registered a decline
of 1.4%. The cement sector which is part of large scale manufacturing sector has shown
a negative growth of 0.3%. The cotton ginning, yarn and cloth have registered a negative
growth rate of 11.5%, 2.2% and 4.8% respectively. (Source: Economic Survey 1996-97)
During the past two years, InterAsia Leasing has shifted its marketing focus towards
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan. Small and Medium Enterprises
include business houses in Pakistan belonging to relatively unorganized sector with an
average capital base of less than Rs. 5.0 million. Based on comprehensive research and
in-depth analysis, the management believes that SMEs with reasonable business history
are better credit risk than providing lease financing to greenfield projects or other larger
sectors of industry. On the other hand, by supporting expansion plans of SMEs, your
company makes a positive contribution in development of a broad based industrial
environment in Pakistan. Presently, major portion of company's lease portfolio is
invested in Small and Medium Enterprises
The LTV Group Support
At this point, it is pertinent to point out the support company enjoys as being part of the
LTV Group. The group has established itself among the major financial houses in
Pakistan with total assets of Rs. 18.0 billion. After acquiring controlling shares of
Bankers Equity Limited, a leading development financing institution (DFI), LTV Group
managed to turn it around in one years time. Being part of LTV Group, InterAsia Leasing
is well positioned to take advantage of business opportunities by using group image and
support where ever required.
Economic Environment
The last 10 years have seen Pakistan position itself as a democratic country, promoting
the free enterprise system and encouraging the private sector and direct foreign
investment. Even without the satisfaction of having "good governance," Pakistan's GDP
growth performance has been quite impressive. From 1980-92 GDP grew at an average
of 6.5% from 1992-95 at 4.3%, and in 1996 at 5.6%. Industrial output has generally
grown faster than GDP growth. In addition to having its own domestic market of 130
million people, Pakistan is strategically located at a gateway to the newly independent
Central Asian Republics. This location gives it access to another 200 million people.
Pakistan's trade deficit has been consistently between $2.5-$3.5 billion annually. This
has put pressure on the country to introduce economic reforms by promoting the private
sector through privatization and deregulation making the currency more convertible and
opening its doors to foreign investment. The next year, 1998, should see the budget
deficit being brought down from 8% to 6% of GDP, inflation being brought down from
12% to 9% and foreign exchange reserves climb up from $600 million to $1.5 billion.
The existing leadership is regarded as pro-business and is taking positive and forward
looking measures. These reforms have also been welcomed internationally as Euromoney
comments in its August 1997 issue "Pakistan is back in the fold of financially respectable
nations. The turnaround has been accomplished by a government committed to
stimulating business and the private sector at the expense of state-owned entities.
Reserves have improved, morale in the private sector is higher and IMF appears to
extend its support". We hope that overall conditions remain favorable for a positive
economic outlook.
Leasing Industry in Pakistan
According to available information, over Rs. 46.0 billion of leasing transactions have
been recorded so far in Pakistan. The outstanding combined lease portfolio size is
estimated to be above Rs. 20.0 billion with growth rate of 10 to 15 percent per annum.
The current size of the leasing market in Pakistan may not be very huge, but as a matter of
fact, in the last few years, leasing companies and leasing modarabas have been the major
source of fixed asset financing to other-wise capital starved manufacturing sector. This
reason alone is a major contributor towards the success and rapid growth of leasing
industry in Pakistan. Among other factors, maturing of leasing companies and lessees'
greater understanding of the leasing concept have also contributed significantly towards
making leasing a widely popular and accepted mode of alternate financing in the country.
As far as existence of sizable leasing market is concerned, experts believe that in
developing countries like Pakistan the potential leasing market is huge. As of June 1996,
lease financing accounted for over 25% of the total sanctions and disbursen~ents in
Pakistan. While in terms of market penetration Pakistan has still a long way to go, at little
over 7% penetration means that 7% of the capital goods acquired in the country were
through leasing finance. Therefore, there is a lot of growth potential in the market size
especially InterAsia's target market i.e. the small scale manufacturing sector which has
over the last few years grown faster than the overall manufacturing sector in Pakistan.
Future Vision
InterAsia Leasing wishes to grow at the regional level by forming strategic alliances with
international financial institutions. The company also plans to develop specific purpose
lines of credit for environment friendly projects. In general, company believes in
meaningful contribution towards economic development of Pakistan and maximization of
our shareholders wealth. The successful implementation of steps outlined above will
allow us to develop into even more productive and competitive enterprise. In this regard,
we look forward to grow along with you, our clients and the shareholders. Finally, we are
committed to having best team of professionals which is the most important factor in
being successful in this age of severe competition.
Directors would like to acknowledge dedication, commitment and hard work of the
employees which contributed towards smooth operations of the company. We are also
grateful to our shareholders for their confidence, the regulatory agencies for their support.
and to our clients for their trust in our services.
For and on behalf of
the Board of Directors
