CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Fifth Annual Report of your
company and place before you salient features of its operations for the period ended June
30, 1996.
ECONOMY AT A GLANCE
The period from July 1995 to June 1996 suffered economic and industrial depression due to
fiscal deficits, declining exports, escalating inflation, increase in local & foreign bank borrow-
ings, deficit in revenue collection, decline in GDP growth, imposition of new taxes coupled
with social dilemmas like law & order crises, public confrontation, polarisation of masses. The
wobbling economy of the country needs serious thoughts to tackle the situation. Inspite of
big claims, most of the growth targets have not been achieved and country is heading
towards turmoil. The new direct & indirect taxes levied during the year in shape of General
Sales Tax, Sales Tax on Import, Central Excise, Regulatory duty, enhanced Oil, Gas and
Electricity charges coupled with devaluation of Pak Rupee has driven the industrial and
commercial classes alike to the stage of even suspending their operations, inflicting colossal
loss of revenue to the National Exchequer. Textile Sector on account of consecutive crop
failures was already in critical stage so much so that even a relief package offered by the
Government failed to bring any improvement. Cement, Polyester Fibre, Ghee, Engineering &
Sugar Industries which were performing well are now facing problems due to hike in
electricity, furnace oil, gas prices, new taxation in the form of Sales Tax, regulatory duty and
continued devaluation of our currency raising the cost of imported machinery, spares and
raw material increasing the production costs unabsorbable for the local consumer. How-
ever, through the budgetary measures and fiscal policies adopted toward the end of 1995
by the Government. G.D.P. growth rate of around 6% for the year 1995-96 as against 4.7% in
the year 1994-95 has been achieved through improvement mainly in the Agriculture Sector.
Capital market has witnessed bearish sentiments, as a result Karachi Stock Exchange index
shrinked from 2049 level as at December 31, 1995 to 1730 as on June 30, 1996. The trend is
considered to be temporary being guided altogether by negative attitude compelling the
share prices of otherwise financially sound companies lower than their actual break up
value, correction as such has to come with slightest improvement in the overall country's
political and economic climate.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Operating in highly depressed conditions, your company has performed well and it is gratify-
ing that during the period from 1st July 1995 to 30th June, 1996, the company made gross
lease disbursements of Rs. 127.182 million raising total disbursement to Rs. 407.345 million
generating total revenue of Rs. 36.928 million and inspite of high inflation, expenditure was
kept under tight control. Total expenditure of Rs. 22.029 million was incurred against Rs.
13.549 million of previous six months and thus earned net profit of Rs. 14.899 million (before
taxation).
Lease Assets portfolio comprised mainly of Machinery (78%) with a view to invest maximum
in productive assets as a master of policy while the balance cares for Passenger Vehicles
18%, office equipment and Commercial vehicle 2% each. Similarly financing in less vul-
nerable with minimum risk element, industrial and commercial sectors have been preferred
avoiding textile being presently problematic. During the period our exposure in the textile
has rather been significantly reduced to Textile Processing (13%) Textile Weaving (8%) Textile
Spinning (4%) from 18%, 13% & 6% respectively in the preceeding year. Lease portfolio of
each sector is closely watched to monitor the risk factor of each sector. Rest of the portfolio
consists of Synthetic Fibres (8%) Sugar (26%) Pharmaceutical and pesticides (13%) Engineer-
ing (4%) Rice (3%) Electrical Goods (3%) Plastic (3%) Food and Allied (2%) Paper & Board
(1%) Beverage (1%) Leather (2%) Trading (1%) and Miscellaneous (8%).
RECOVERIES:
Sluggish economic conditions and depressed market behaviour have upset cash flows of
almost every business and industry consequently entire Financial Sector is facing acute
recovery problems but inspite of difficult circumstances our recovery rate remained as high
as 88.43% which has since improved to 91.46% as a result of our active follow up and close
monitoring.
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION & FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Resource mobilization is most important for continued development and progress of every
leasing company. This area has always received our top priority. We have been reclining so
far on local credit lines from banks and DFIs and managed to secure 11 lines aggregating
Rs. 129.00 million which is being repaid alongwith mark up periodically exactly on time,
leaving Rs. 42.314 million only with us. At this stage we undoubtedly need further credit lines
to maintain the pace of our developmental activities and progress but due to liquidity
crunch, availability of funds from local market and DFIs has become quite difficult. Efforts
were made side by side for some foreign credit lines which too was not easy on account of
high country risk in view of growing tension in the region as well as, law and order situation &
political conditions, but you will be pleased to know that your company succeeded in
materializing one credit line of Asian Development Bank under Financial Sector Intermedia-
tion Loan (FSIL) of 100 million Dollars on first come first serve basis.
CERTIFICATES OF INVESTMENT (COl's):
Inspite of tight economic conditions, funds aggregating Rs. 42.99 million as at 30th June,
1996 have been mobilized from the general public and institutions in COIs reflecting investors
confidence in English Leasing Limited. Presently deposit in COIs are both of short term and
long term maturities, ratio being 70% and 30% respectively. It is targeted to focus more and
more on long term funds to match our Assets / Liabilities position. We are hopeful of achiev-
ing good results under this avenue through public support and determined collective efforts
of our staff. We except overall conditions to improve in coming months and look forward to
better future.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I, convey my thanks to the Ministry of Finance, State Bank of Pakistan, Corporate Law
Authority, Financial Institutions and our valuable customers as well as shareholders for the
valuable guidance and continued support extended to us. I also express my appreciations
for the dedication and hard work put in by all staff members of the Company.
