DIRECTORS' REPORT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW
It is a great pleasure to present to you the Eighth Annual Report of First Crescent Modaraba (FCM), which covers the
eighth 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
The events of May 1998 brought in the open the balance of payment problems that Pakistan had been facing due to high
budget deficits. Till such time, government was plugging around USD 5.00 billion Balance of Payment deficit through
short4erm borrowings including Resident Foreign Currency Accounts (FCAs). Conversion of FCAs into local currency
and sanctions by multilaterals has meant that inflows from both of these contributors have grossly reduced which in turn
forced the country to resort to rescheduling of bilateral and commercial loans.
While the adverse impact of the developments mentioned above was widespread on the economy, it was particularly
severe on the foreign and private sector investments. Both the workers' remittances and flow of foreign investments
suffered a setback. Decline in imports, particularly of raw materials and machinery, resulting from drying up of foreign
resources, affected the pace and level of activity.
Banks and financial institutions have also been affected by the above developments. The conversion of Foreign Currency
Accounts into local currency has eliminated the implied around 3% subsidy that State Bank was paying by offering
cover at a rate that was less than historic devaluation rate. The spreads have been further squeezed as government is
following the policy of reviving the economy through lowering of interest rates and reduce the rates on Treasury bills and
National Saving Schemes. There are signs that it is beginning to have a positive impact on corporates as they have
started showing earning growth despite economic uncertainty.
The Capital market in line with the haywire economic performance moved into narrow band of 200 points between Index
level of 1000 points to 1200 points. In the absence of foreign investors, local retail and institutional investors became
market movers and shakers. Massive offloading by international investors has been absorbed on the back of excess
liquidity in the local market. The large public sector banks have become fairly active in blue chip stock because they
have no option but to deploy excess liquidity.
MERGER
We are pleased to report that the Honorable Lahore High Court has approved the merger of AI-Ata Leasing Modaraba
with First Crescent Modaraba (FCM) with effect from February 01, 1999.
OPERATING AND INVESTING PERFORMANCE
As on 30 June 1999 total assets of First Crescent Modaraba were Rs.1,414.65 million as against the outstanding of Rs.
1,131.49 million on the corresponding date of last year. During the year under review lease disbursement of Rs. 156.36
million were made owing to the recession in the country. Net investment in leasing business as on June 30, 1999
amounted to Rs. 596.41 million. The leases disbursed during the year comprised of 63.74 % for plant and machinery,
18.32 % for office equipment and 17.94 % for vehicles. Depreciation charge for the year under review was Rs. 188.91
million as compared to Rs. 153.78 million charged in the last year.
The following schedule give the gross amounts of investments made by FCM in comparison with the corresponding
figures of previous year.

Lease Finance 596.41 603.62
Morabaha / Musharika Financing 395.60 217.09
STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS
The nuclear detonations in May 1998 and its subsequent effects on the economy as described in the foregoing review,
had a major blow to the already bearish stock market. The stock market recovered from its lowest ever level to around
1200 points. However, the return on the funds invested in the equity market remained low during the year under review.
The Modaraba earned an income of Rs. 3.52 million on its investments during the year 1998-99.
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
As at 30th June 1999, the Modaraba had an outstanding amount of Rs. 976.05 mobilized under Morabaha / Musharika
arrangements etc. as against Rs. 808.73 million for the last year showing an increase of 20.69% over the previous year.
BALANCE SHEET & OPERATING RESULTS
After merger, total assets of the Modaraba increased by Rs. 283.16 million (25.03%) during 1998-99 to Rs. 1,414.65
million. The Modaraba earned an operating profit before provisions of Rs. 30.80 million during the year as against
Rs. 35.13 million last year. Due to the continued bearish condition of the stock markets of the country, the prices of
listed securities remained low throughout the year. The modaraba has created a provision of Rs. 25.77 million for the
diminution in the value of its equity investments thereby fully providing for its short-term investments. The net profit after
tax for the year was Rs. 12.09 million as against a net loss of Rs. 0.20 million last year.
The subject year was the first 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 in view of the subject exemption. Composition of the net profit after provisions is as follows:-

REGULATIONS
We hope that the process of rationalizing the Modaraba Ordinance and relevant rules and regulations by the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Pakistan will produce favourable results during the year.
PROFIT DISTRIBUTION
A profit distribution of Re. 0.75 (7.50%) per certificate of Rs. 10 each has been approved by the Board of Directors in its
meeting held on December 31, 1999 for the year ended June 30, 1999. The distribution will be subject to zakat and
tax at source, where applicable.
THE MILLENNIUM BUG
By the grace of God, the Modaraba has become fully Year 2000 compliant in June 1999. In addition, we are taking
all the necessary precautions to ensure that the external parties like lenders, customers, suppliers, utilities, etc. are
also Year 2000 compliant.
OBJECTIVES FOR 1999-2000
The Modaraba is continuously focusing to enhance its earnings by concentrating on small and medium sized leases
and generating cheaper resources for financing the activity. New areas of business will continue to be explored with
greater care and prudence. The Modaraba plans to reduce its current exposure in other activities in planned and phased
manner.
The Modaraba intends to continue its advisory services on lease syndication during the year 1999-2000.
AUDITORS
The Auditors M/s. Riaz Ahmad & Company, Chartered Accountants, retire and offer themselves for re-election.
