account reversal of provision for diminution in value of investment, net profit for the year was Rs.

MARKET REVIEW AND FUTURE OUTLOOK  
   
The Karachi Stock Exchange 100 share index stood at 1770 points on June 30, 2002 as compared to    
1366 points on June 30, 2001 i.e. increase of 404 points. The KSE 100 share index stood at 1133    
points at the end of 1 st Quarter of the year i.e. 30th Sept 2001 and was 1273 points as on 31 st Dec.    
2001. It started its upward journey reaching 1868 Points as on 30th March 2002 and finally closed at    
1770 Points as on 30th June 2002.  
   
The Stock Market came under tremendous pressure after attack on World Trade Centre, New York on    
September 11, 2001 followed by Afghan War. Soon after, threat of war with India kept the market    
under pressure. Although threat of war with India has subsided, yet India has not removed its army    
from the Pakistani Border, which is still a source of concern.  
   
World Wide economic recession and financial scandals have affected the stock exchanges    
internationally, including stock exchanges in Pakistan. On the political front, the forthcoming general    
elections in October, 2002 has added uncertainty to the market. As our country's economic condition    
is improving and that foreign exchange reserves are now around 7 billion dollars, we are hopeful that    
the market conditions will improve and buying activity will start in a big way soon after the general    
elections,
