========== ==========
Increase in Capital
The company increased its capital by Rs. 13.2 million. These shares were issued to M/s. Itochu Corporation of
Japan which is one of the largest business houses of Japan.
Dividend
The Board of Directors approved an interim dividend @ 10% which is the final dividend for the year and has been
distributed.
Stock Market Portfolio
The capital market continued its decline and closed at 880 points in June 1998. A provision of Rs.5.0 million has
been made in the financial statements to partially cover diminution in the value of stock portfolio.
The Economy
The unprecedented turmoil and uncertainty in the state economy adversely affected the prospects in all sectors. The
restrictions on foreign exchange placed by State Bank of Pakistan towards close of the financial year further
inhibited growth. The economic indicators so far predict a declining trend and deeper recession and this situation
has not only restricted the new leases but also slowed down the recovery of past rentals. To cope with this situation,
the management has taken steps to limit the likely adverse impact on the financial performance of the Company.
Operating Performance
In adverse economic conditions and specific difficulties faced by leasing industry, your company has been able to
sustain a nominal growth within selective segments of the market. The policy of developing the lease investment in
small and medium enterprises was maintained. The exposure of lease portfolio did not exceed 22% in any single
sector.
During the year under review, the gross revenue increased to Rs.98.8 million from Rs. 82.4 million in the previous
year, thus recording a nominal increase of 19.8%. However, the profit before provisions and tax declined to Rs.
12.4 million from Rs. 12.8 million, mainly due to increase in financial cost by 29.6%.
The Company has decided to start making provisions for diminution in value of its slack portfolio as well as for
rentals which are doubtful of recovery. Resultantly, the profit after provisions and tax is reduced 1o Rs. 4.69 million
as against Rs. 12.06 million during previous year, a decline of 61.1%.
The net investment in lease finance increased by 14.56% from Rs.403 million previously to Rs.462 million at the
close of current year. The company continued with the policy of diversifying its marketing mix in sector as well as
asset exposure and the investment in plant and machinery was rationally reduced to 80% of the 1otal portfolio at the :
end of the current year from 84% in the previous year.
During the year, the company was able to mobilize additional resources amounting to Rs. 100 million in the form of
long term loans, Musharika arrangements and certificates of investment.
The total assets as of June 30, 1998 were Rs. 613 million recording on increase of Rs. 70.5 million or 13% over
previous year.
Company Outlook
Lease Pak is a medium sized growth Company which commenced its operation only five years ago and has
recorded a progressive increase in the size of its assets base. However, the present economic conditions require
careful analysis of company's operations. An effective survival strategy calls for a renewed vigor and vision in the
company to foster value added activities and possible alliance building within the industry. In order to achieve the
challenging objectives and goals in front of the company, your Board of Directors have initialed the change
management program. A critical element of the new strategy is in diversification of operations 1o include financial
services and project development functions while at the same time consolidating the gains in the core business of
leasing. The company is making modest investment in restructuring which would position it better to formulate and
implement an action plan which ensures the viability of operations in the immediate future and a fair return to the
shareholders on their investment in the medium term. The risk management and human resource development will be
the prime objectives in front of the management which we intend to put in place in minimum possible time. The next
12-18 months are going to be difficult but particularly challenging as the company seeks enhancement in the
quality of its assets while at the same lime aiming at a selective growth in its operations and overall leverage.
The Millennium Bug
The company has addressed the year 2000 compliance issue in relation to the Computer
hardware and software. The year 2000 compliance has already been ensured in most of the
modules being used by the Company.
Acknowledgements
We wish to acknowledge the support of lending institutions, investors, shareholders who have shown confidence
and extended warm cooperation throughout the year. We also like to thank the Corporate Law Authority and the
State Bank of Pakistan for providing guidance and support as needed.
Finally, we would like to place on record our appreciation for the dedicated work put in by the management and
staff of the company.
