Certificate now stands at Rs. 13.44 against a face value of Rs. 10 (1997: Rs. 14.29).
Operations
We are pleased to report that during the year under review, your Modaraba completed 12 years of
business operations. The total number of leases executed in the merged entity since inception to
June 30, 1998 were 7,402 with a total value of Rs. 4.104 billion.
As at 30th June 1998, there were a total of 780 "live" leases with a prime cost of Rs 1.59 billion
(1997 = 794 leases with prime cost Rs. 1.26 billion).
Merger                                                                                                                       ~.:.
We are pleased to report that the Honourable High Court at Sindh sanctioned the merger of BRR
Second Modaraba and Equity International Modaraba with and into BRR Capital Modaraba with
effect from 1st March 1998. This was a historical merger as it was the first merger of Modarabas
in Pakistan.
Change of Name
As a result of the merger, your Modaraba's international sponsors include Robert Fleming
Nominees Limited and International Finance Corporation, who were previously major certificate
holders of former Equity International Modaraba. In order to reflect the holding of major foreign
investors, the request of your Modaraba Management Company to change the name of
BRR Capital Modaraba to BRR International Modaraba was approved by the Registrar of
Modarabas with effect from 14th April 1998.
Government Policies
We would like to express our thanks to the Government of Pakistan for accepting the long
standing demand of the modaraba sector to revive the tax exempt status of modarabas. This
concession has been restored effective from 1999/2000 to non-trading modarabas on condition                :5:.'~5:~5:~
they distribute 90% of their profits to the certificate holders. However, a lacuna still exists in the                ~
law in that Section 53 of the Income tax Ordinance has not been modified to exempt non-trading
modarabas from advance payment of tax. We are also grateful that the Government has restricted
the tax authorities from determining the fair market value of an asset in the hands of a lessee, and       ~f~
has bound them to accept the residual value. Another demand of the modaraba sector which               ~;~:
has been accepted by the Government is that they have been exempted from withholding tax on               :.,,~::~
sale and lease back transactions.                                                                           :'~:
Year 2000 Compliance
The millennium bug is a problem that could potentially affect any system using a computer chip.
Your Modaraba tried to create awareness on this crucial matter by informing all lessees on the
subject during November, 1997.
The Corporate Law Authority recently issued a directive requiring us to report the status of our
Year 2000 compliance program. In this context, we are pleased to report that we have taken
necessary steps to ensure that all our systems are Year 2000 compliant latest by 30th, June 1999.
Future Outlook
The nuclear testing conducted by Pakistan on 28th May 1998 resulted in international sanctions
being imposed on Pakistan. The sanction environment continues upto the date of this report and
is causing a recessionary effect on the economy. The massive decline of the Rupee since then,
the drying up of funds from major donor agencies, have all compounded the problem.
We expect a difficult year and will have to exercise greater efforts in ensuring recovery of
outstanding dues, and issue leases to customers with a good payment record.
We are also pleased to report that very recently, decrees were obtained from the court in respect
of recovery cases initiated by your Modaraba against certain defaulters. We hope the award of
such decrees will impose financial discipline on these and other lessees.
Auditors
The present auditors Messrs A.F. Ferguson & Co., Chartered Accountants are due for retirement
and have offered themselves for reappointment for the year ending June 30, 1999. Their
appointment has been confirmed by the Board subject to the approval of the Registrar, Modaraba
Companies & Modarabas.
Directors
The Board welcomes the appointment Mr. Charles David Blackmore of Robert Fleming
Nominees Limited, who joined the Board on 29th July 1998. Mr. Syed Ghulam Abbas has left
the Board and we thank him for his valuable contribution during the many years he was
associated with us.
Acknowledgment
The Board would like to express its gratitude for the support and guidance given by the
Chairman Corporate Law Authority and Registrar of Modarabas to enable us to achieve the
historic merger. We are thankful to our certificate holders for their support for the merger. We are
grateful to all the lending institutions with whom we had dealings for issuing us the necessary
"no objection certificates" needed for the purpose of our merger. We are thankful to Pakistan
Credit Rating Agency for allowing us to complete the merger before commencing with rating
your Modaraba, as required by State Bank of Pakistan. No report of ours is complete without the
Boards appreciation of the hard work and positive efforts of the staff and thanks them for their
dedication.
