CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW  
   
BISMILLAH HIP REHMAN NIP RAHIM  
   
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 13th Annual General Meeting for presentation    
of the report on your Company's performance for the year ended 30th June 2002.  
   
The year under review was an eventful one for the Nation and for your Company. The post Sept. 11    
period posed many challenges that the nation faced bravely and intelligently. The economy has    
braved the set backs, as agriculture & manufacturing have registered marginal growth    
while textile exports have resisted a decline. The automobile sector by the Grace of God has    
performed well. The Company's operations resulted in gross profit of Rs. 794.296 million and net profit after tax of Rs.    
360.463 million, both higher than the previous year, after providing for current and deferred    
taxation of Rs. 167.901 million. The above results were achieved despite decrease in the sales    
revenues from Rs. 9.055 billion to Rs. 8.111 billion. The reason for decrease in sales was due to the    
phasing out of the Corolla model that the Company had produced and successfully marketed since    
1993. The Gross Profit percentage for the year under review registered an improvement from    
6.8% to 9.8%, over last year. Administrative and selling expenses increased    
during the year due to depreciation of newly acquired  ERP  Solution  (SAP)  and  on    
Advertisement and Sales promotion costs incurred on the launch campaign of the New    
Corolla. The elegant styling, specifications and competitive pricing of the New Corolla has attracted a very    
large number of advance sales orders. Whilst this is indeed very good news for your Company we    
have been overwhelmed by impatient customers wishing to own and drive the New Corolla    
immediately. While we regret that many of our customers have had to wait we are confident that    
with our enhanced levels of efficiency and output our valuable customers will receive their Corollas    
earlier than committed by your Company.  
   
Earnings Per Share (EPS)  
   
The Earnings Per Share is Rs. 4.59  
   
Government Levies  
   
Government levies outstanding as at June 30,2002 has been disclosed in Note No. 19 to the accounts.

CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW  
   
Since its launch on 2nd March '02, the New Corolla, has received a tremendous response and    
is all set to achieve No. 1 market share in its class. Your management being conscious of the strong    
desire of the customers to own and drive the New Corolla has responded by enhancing production of    
the New Corolla by 35%.  
   
Hilux, the workhorse of Toyota, proved its inherent strengths of quality, reliability and durability with its    
market share increasing to 39% compared to 32% last year. The company has secured substantial    
" orders for Hilux from the Police and Army to be supplied during the current year. The extra    
demand will be met through productivity enhancement attained by separation of the Hilux    
production line implemented during August '02. In the small car segment, strong marketing efforts    
focussing on Brand image building for Cuore yielded positive results. Monthly sales average in    
the January to June period almost doubled to over 350 units a month compared to 177 units in the    
July to December period. We are confident that Daihatsu Cuore will create a class of its own with    
its superior quality and performance.  
   
   
DEALERSHIP NETWORK  
   
Our dealership network which has been operating  on "3S"(sales, service & spares) basis since    
inception has 25 Dealers spread throughout the Country. The dealerships were renovated and improved for    
the New Corolla launch and for provision of post-launch Services. During the year under review, our dealership    
network serviced an all time high number of 185,000 vehicles. Extensive Training activities,    
acquisition of additional Equipment / Special Service Tools, Computerization and operational    
enhancement activities were also undertaken, so that better services could be provided to    
Customers.  
   
IMC worked together with dealers to enhance their level of operations in the After-Sales for bringing    
them upto global standards under the Toyota Customer Service Marketing Program (TSM).    
These measures will further enhance the dealer productivity and Customer satisfaction.  
   
IMC Marketing Department has worked closely with dealers to support their activities and prepare    
them for the launch of the New Corolla. During the post-launch  period  the  order  processing    
procedures of some of the dealerships have fallen below the expected levels of service of our  
   
The growth in profit reflects improvement and stability of the Rupee against the Japanese Yen    
during the third and partly fourth quarter of the financial year.  
   
I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors have proposed a cash dividend of 20%    
and apportionment of Rs. 204 million to Reserves which will now exceed the paid up share capital of    
the Company.  
   
OPERATIONS AND MARKETING  
   
During the year market share of Corolla decreased by 12% as sales of previous models of Corolla    
were lower than last year's average, with customers preferring to delay purchase in    
anticipation of the new model. Availability of Corolla remained limited during January and    
February due to phase out of the old model and the launch of the New Corolla.  
   
Ceremony held on 14th February'02 at IMC Plant. An impressive display of localized parts was also    
arranged which showed the joint efforts of Indus Team and Vendors. This was highly appreciated    
by all participants that included representatives from EDB, Ministry of Industries and Production,    
Vendors, Bankers, Dealers and representatives from TMC/TTC Japan and IMC family members.  
   
With the launch of the Daihatsu Cuore, your Company was faced with the dual challenge of    
increasing production capacity and reducing operation costs. It was in conjunction with Toyota    
Motor Corporation that your Company took steps to increase plant capacity on a singte shift basis. At    
the same time, Toyota, Daihatsu and Indus engineers worked with a commitment to produce    
high quality parts to meet deletion targets set by the Engineering Development Board both for    
Toyota and Daihatsu vehicles. Post launch vendor workshops were held by IMC    
management in Karachi & Lahore on 4th June 2002 and 13th June 2002 respectively, where  
   
issues related to Quality & Suppliability of local parts were  discussed.  IMC  management    
appreciated the efforts of local vendors in gearing output to meet the enhanced production demands    
in response to the overwhelming demand of the customers for the New Corolla. Vendors    
participated whole-heartedly and IMC and Vendor team collectively chalked out future plans for    
maintaining quality and suppliability.  
   
   
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT  
   
   
   
A cornerstone of human resource development, our annual Kaizen convention is a morale boosting    
exercise that acknowledges and honors staff members and vendors who make significant    
contributions by boosting efficiency, improving productivity and quality resulting in cost savings.  
   
This event is based on the Japanese system of continuous improvement. The convention was    
held in September this year, where Lt. Gen. (R) Javed   Ashraf,   Honorable   Minister   for    
Communications & Railway, Government of  
   
valuable customers. Our marketing department is increasing its field-based activities to bring about    
necessary improvements. During the period under review the dealerships at Larkana and Sialkot    
were discontinued.  
   
   
SPARE PARTS  
   
   
   
Although, the market was affected by the events of September 11 and events in neighboring    
countries, the sales of spare parts by your company showed an increase of 8% over the    
previous year. This was largely attributable to reduction in duties on spare parts, and to    
measures taken to control imports through gray channels. With an aggressive sales campaign    
coupled with competitive pricing of parts the efforts of your management were aimed at increasing    
market share in the parts segment and building up a base for its continuous growth. The Company's    
modern parts warehouse at the Bin Qasim plant has been ex
