DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors have pleasure in submitting the 8th Annual Report of the Modaraba together with the
audited accounts and the auditors' report for the year ended June 30, 1999.
During the year the overall business environment continued to remain subdued. Sluggish growth in
industrial production and a disappointing cotton crop thwarted all hopes of a recovery in economic
growth. Real GDP growth was well below the target. Overall, financing gap of the country jumped to
over Rs 3.0 billion as compared to a figure of less than Rs 1.0 billion in previous three years. All this
happened after May 1998 nuclear testing. Fulfilling a conditionality of IMF, the government finally
abolished the dual exchange rate mechanism by opting market based floating exchange rate from
May 19, 1999. The indirect depreciation of the rupee was done to bring about an improvement in the
trade account. This also provided some relief to foreign currency account holders. The Government
of Pakistan investigations into IPPs started in February 1998 to weed out corrupt practices and in this
particular case to reduce power tariffs have continued till now without any final result.
The investors' confidence remained at the lower web. Although KSE index improved from 880
points in June 30, 1998 to 1055 points as at June 30, 1999, the increase was on the back of few
large volume blue-chips. In the near future, there is hardly any hope of a reversal in the recessionary
conditions prevailing at stock market for the last five years.
Despite subdued business environment, the Modaraba during the year earned a profit after taxation
of Rs 25.25 million as compared to Rs 15.01 million earned last year. The increase in profit over
last year is 68%. The leased assets have increased from Rs 105.23 million to Rs 133.53 million
registering a growth of 27% over last year. Adequate provisions have been made in the accounts
against doubtful lease rentals which stand at Rs 19.91 million. Similarly adequate provisions have
been made against capital market portfolio which stand at Rs 13.29 million. The provision is more
than enough to absorb any effects of permanent diminution in the value of investments.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
We have been saying in the past that future growth of businesses depend on economic revival in
the country. Economic revival can only be achieved through continuation of good and predictable
economic policies for a longer period of time. Unfortunately this has not been the case in the past
and immediate present. Balance of payment deficit for the current fiscal year looms larger in view
of increase in international crude oil prices and sanctions by international agencies, in view of
recent military take over of the government, Although international agencies stance seems to become
softened, it is not certain how far they can lend assistance to the present regime.
The measures taken by the present government for recovery of stuck-up loans and government
dues, though are commendable, they will have a snow ball effect on already susceptible businesses
which may be closed due to debt burden and non availability of fresh working capital loans. If this
happens this will have a negative impact on economic growth. The government realising the situation
is likely to announce an economic package in the middle of December 1999, One expects that to
provide a real impetus to the industry not only a good package should be announced, it should also
be implemented in its letter and spirit. It is hoped that issue of IPPs will also be resolved so as to
bring stability in the stock market and rebuild local investors and multilateral agencies confidence.
It is imperative to first rebuild local investors' confidence, since only a stable stock market can bring
back foreign investors. Good cotton crop news is a silver lining in the dark and can lead a revival of
textile industry the backbone of Pakistan economy.
As said earlier though growth of the Modaraba depends on an economic revival, the Modaraba is
continuously trying to improve its inherent strengths through diversification. The Modaraba has focused
on small borrowers to take benefit of low percentage of default by these borrowers. The Modaraba
experience in this category is very good and we intend to pursue this more aggressively in the year
2000. The government loan recovery drive has also brightened chances of early recovery of stuck-up
leases of Modaraba. The recoverable amount will also be invested in small and medium sized morabaha
and lease finances. Modaraba has also sought long term funding lines from financial institutions.
Application of corresponding amounts in business is also likely to add to Modaraba profit margins.
Y 2K PROBLEM
The Y 2K Compliance has been achieved through up-gradation/replacement of computer hardware
and installation of new Computer Software. Directors are confident that the Modaraba's internal
operations will not be disrupted due to this issue. A contingency plan has been made to take care
of any unforeseen event at the time of Millennium changeover.
