DIRECTORS' REPORT
It is a great pleasure to present to you the tenth Annual Report of First Crescent Modaraba (FCM),
which covers the tenth full year of operations of the Modaraba. Before the review of operating
results of the Modaraba, it will be pertinent to have a brief review of the national economic scenario.
MACRO ECONOMIC SCENARIO
Economic performance during the year 2000-2001 was characterized by government efforts to
bring macroeconomic fundamentals back on track with a result that the fiscal deficit was contained
within its targeted level, inflation was low, current account was in surplus. The policy changes
made to address the underlying structural problems altered the incentive structure for the private
sector. Compounded by agricultural growth, private sector investment remained stagnant reducing
the pace of privatization. Resultantly, Pakistan's aggregate growth level was restricted to 2.6 against
a target of 5.0 percent.
In the real sector, persistent drought conditions did not allow the agriculture sector to show any
positive growth. During the year under review, the textile exports fell short of the target. In the
external sector, a current account surplus and the depreciation of 19% in Rupee/Dollar parity were
noteworthy achievements. However, these improvements in the external gap failed to ease the
pressure on the rupee on account of change in exchange rate regime. The monetary policy of
central bank remained tight during the year.
The scenario discussed above has affected the performance of financial sector. It would be pertinent
to note that September 11 attacks have further intensified the global recession that is clearly shown
in the financial markets the world over. Global recession is likely to spread through international
trade and expected to have a negative bearing on Pakistan's economy in the short-term future.
STOCK MARKET
The bearish trends in the last year due to the investors' loss of hope for a quick privatization of
state-owned utilities and concerns about the un-sustainability of Badla (carry-over transactions)
continued in the current year. The negative trends were augmented by rising interest rates and the
depreciating exchange rates, to the drawn out impact of tax survey and faltering hopes of an early
end to Hubco-WAPDA dispute. By early-November, the market started sliding, investor expectations
concerning certain blue-chip companies and the textile sector, turned sour. During this downward
movement, heavy speculation in the form of short selling compounded the fall. In order to minimize
the fall, SECP prohibited carryover transaction of sale position on all scrips. In December, the
market responded positively to Pakistan's agreement with the IMF. However, the upward trend
was short lived due to the introduction ofT+3 settlement system and negative reports by international
lending agencies suspecting Pakistan's ability to meet revenue targets, lower than expected GDP
growth, tight monetary policy and continuous depreciation of rupee leading to a KSE index of 1366
at June 30, 2001.
OPERATING AND INVESTING PERFORMANCE
As on 30 June 2001 total assets of First Crescent Modaraba were Rs.1,980.96 million as against
the outstanding of Rs.1,860.70 million on the corresponding date of last year. During the year
under review lease disbursement of Rs. 204.25 million were made despite the extremely competitive
leasing business. Net leased assets as on June 30, 2001 amounted to Rs. 524.89 million.
Depreciation charge for the year under review was Rs. 270.00 million as compared to Rs. 271.91
million charged in the last year.
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
As at 30th June 2001, the Modaraba had an outstanding amount of Rs. 1,469.91 mobilized under
Morabaha / Musharika arrangements etc. as against Rs.1,347.60 million for the last year showing
an increase of 9% over the previous year.
BALANCE SHEET & OPERATING RESULTS
Total assets of the Modaraba increased by Rs. 120.26 million (6.46%) during 2000-2001 to Rs.
1,980.96 million. The Modaraba earned an operating profit of Rs. 41.54 million before provisions
during the year. The net profit after tax for the year was Rs. 14.27 million. A dividend income
amounting to Rs. 14.51 was earned on equity investments during the year.
The long awaited formal notification exempting Modarabas from the ambit of Section 80D regarding
Minimum Tax on Turnover has been issued during the year under review. The subject year was the
third year for which the government has revived the income tax exemption for modaraba if atleast
90 % of its profits for the year are distributed among the certificate holders. No provision for taxation
has been made in these accounts for activities other than trading in view of the subject exemption.
