CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Dear Members,
Assalamu-Alaikum, I welcome you to the seventeenth Annual General Meeting of the company. I
am very glad to present the annual report and the results for the year ended 30th June 1996.
Although the results are not at all to our expectations and forecast, mainly due to the worst law
and order situation in the city, but by the Grace of Al-mighty Allah, we have brought the property
on the track, have reduced our expenses by exercising stringent controls and increased sales by
37% over previous year resulting in the profit of Rs. 4.19 million, only on the operation of an average
of 100 rooms per day.
it is evident that in all aspects, your property is the largest in the city and has tremendous potential
to obtaining its share from the market, day by day with healthy competition and upgrading all the
remaining areas over and above Five Star category. At the time you have gathered here, we would
Insha-Allah have completed the Health Club, Squash court at a very high standard and have opened
the executive floor which has no match with any other Hotel.
You will be glad to know that now there is no foreign national employed with the company and
the Hotel is being run by 100% Pakistani professionals and trained staff, saving a lot of money and
foreign exchange which is the demand of the country.
The company is seeking in all areas to get more and more profit and depending on its own resources
for the capital work in progress. The laundry which is the biggest in town is fully equipped with
latest machines and is capable of catering outside customers also. The idea for outdoor business
is under consideration i.e. to have at least 4 Pick up points in prime location which will give very
handsome profit.
The Administration Block is completed along with 4 Board rooms with latest equipments. The
membership of the Health club is already announced and the money received from this scheme will
be spent on Mexican Restaurant of which construction work has already been started.
Your Directors have not declared any dividend for this year due to the reason that company needs
funds to complete the remaining job. In this connection and to remove any misapprehensions in
the minds of the shareholders, an undertaking has been given to the Karachi Stock Exchange that
any shareholder who wishes to dis-invest his investment will be paid 60% extra on his equity i.e.
the Directors will buy the shares at Rs. 16/- per share of the face value of Rs. 10/- each, any time
until 31-12-96 as per rules & regulations of K.S.E.
The future prospects of your company are bright. Every possible effort is being made to complete
the remaining job by the end of next financial year in order to utilise full capacity. Plans are also
ahead to diversify the business activities in more out-lets. Adjustment of Banks loans are also speedily
undertaken through targeted reduction in expenditure and by re-scheduling repayment arrangement
with Banks. All these efforts are expected to increase profitability which will enable the company
to fulfil its obligations to the Investors.
During the year the management and staff relations remained very cordial. I take this opportunity
to thank all the employees for their loyal and dedicated services to the company.
I would also like to extend my thanks to the shareholders for their continued support and faith.
My thanks are also due to M/s. Holiday Inn worldwide for their cooperation. I also gratefully
acknowledge the support received from Government Departments.
