REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE MODARABA COMPANY
The Directors of Premier Financial Services (Private) Limited, the management company of
FIRST EQUITY MODARABA, present their report and the audited financial statements of
the Modaraba for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Financial Results
The profit for the year before management fee and provisions amounted to Rs. 65 million,
is improved by 13% from the last half year's reported profit of Rs. 29 million and 18% from
the corresponding full year. The substantial write back of the provision for diminution in
the value of investments as anticipated in the last half year was negated by fresh
provisioning requirement at the year end for non performing assets, thus affecting the
available profit by Rs. 9 million. Despite of providing for non performing assets the earnings
per certificate at June 30, 2000 comes to Rs. 1.90 approximately the same as of the last year's
Rs. 1.91. This performance, with our conservative income recognition criteria dictated by
prudence, is cause for satisfaction.

Regulation and Taxation
With the new Prudential Regulations specifically for modarabas in place, the managers
have to respond while investors need to balance the equation. Regulators now sought for
diversification with more stringent regulations. Allowing increase in cash payout as a
result of decrease in mandatory reserve at the cost of the financial health of a modaraba will
aggravate the resource mobilisation problems of already cash starved sector.
Conditional tax exemption needs to be liberalised especially after Regulators have permitted
issue of bonus certificates. Tailor made treasury stock rules specifically for modarabas is
demand of the time and may bring value to the investor.
Business Environment and Performance
Our adherence to the financial sectors' dependence on trade and industry remains valid.
Multilateral assistance to Pakistan has been committed and major structural reforms
launched. The financial implications of structural external imbalances are yet to be
crystallized. We, therefore, do not foresee major improvements in the industrial sector.
Last years' improvement in the agricultural products may not be achieved for the current
year. This alongwith increase in value of imports due to sharp increase in rupee parity
coupled with high rate of government borrowings bound to increase inflation.
As envisaged, our estimate of earnings on equity investment has proved itself. We were
able to mobilise capital gain of Rs. 5.4 million as compared to a loss of Rs. 1.6 million last
year. The dividend income also registered an increase of 34% over the last year. The
average carrying value of our equity investments yielded 22.5% as compared to 5.7% in the
same period last year.
The export target of US$ 10 billion seems to be achievable with continuous slide of rupee
value and steep decline in financial cost. Being a non bank financial institution, we were
also effected by this decline in profit rates, but cautiously, managed to get better yield on
our average investments in morabahas. Unless, sizeable investment is made in the much
needed BMR expansion, in the textile sector, the small players will loose their market share.
Other than the textile and agro-based manufacturing the other industrial sector remain
under pressure. Without the capital investments, resolution of IPPs brawl, deregulation of
gas sectors, privatisation of state owned companies and greater incentives to value added
textile sector, the process of revival of economy may not be achieved.

Modaraba (Floatation and Control) Ordinance, 1980 and the Rules framed thereunder
and is managed by Premier Financial Services (Private) Limited, a company

2. Significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention.
2.2 Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
charged to income applying the straight line method whereby the cost of an

are charged to income as and when incurred. Gains and losses on disposal of
assets are taken to the profit and loss account.
2.3 Deferred costs
Expenses incurred in connection with the floatation and capital enhancement
of the Modaraba are being written off over a period of five years on a
proportionate basis as the benefit of these expenses will be derived over an
extended period of time.

(a) Investments are stated at cost and provisions are made for other than
temporary diminution in value, if any.
(b) Gains and losses on disposal of investments are taken to the profit and
loss account.
2.5 Stock-in-trade
Stock-in-trade is stated at the lower of average cost and net realisable value.
Stock in transit is valued at cost comprising invoice values plus other charges
paid thereon. Net realisable value signifies the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less costs necessarily to be incurred to make the sale.
2.6 Revenue recognition
(a) Income from musharaka transactions is recognised on the basis of
pro-rata accrual of the estimated profit earned during the year.
(b) Income from morabaha transactions is recognised on the basis of pro-
rata accrual of profit earned during the year.
(c) Sales are recognised when goods are identified for despatch and invoiced.
(d) Dividend income is recognised when the right to the dividend is
established.
(e) Commission and fee income is recognised when received.
(f) Profit on PLS deposits is recognised on accrual basis.
2.7 Taxation
Provision for current taxation is made on taxable income at applicable tax
rates after taking into account tax rebates and credits available, if any.
Deferred taxation is accounted for on all material timing differences using the
liability method.
2.8 Retirement benefits
An unfunded gratuity scheme is operated for permanent employees completing
prescribed period of service. Provision for obligations under the scheme is
made by charging the profit and loss account.
