NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
1. THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS
The company is incorporated in Pakistan and is listed on the Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad
stock exchanges. It essentially carries on the business of leasing.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
2.2 Revenue recognition
The company follows the "Finance Method" in accounting for recognition of lease
income. Under this method the unearned lease income i.e. the excess of aggregate
lease rentals and the residual value over the cost of leased asset is deferred and then
amortized to income over the term of the lease, applying the annuity method to produce
a constant rate of return on the net cash investment in the lease.
Other lease related income is recognised as and when realised.
Return on government investments is recognized on an accrual basis on the assumption
that such investments will be held upto the next terminal date.
2.3 Tangible fixed assets
These are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to
income applying the reducing balance method at the rates specified in note 12 to the
accounts. In respect of additions during the year, depreciation is charged for the full
year, however, no depreciation is charged in the year of disposal. The company has
revised the rate of depreciation from 10% to 25% on computer equipment and
accordingly the depreciation for the year on computer equipment has been charged
on revised rates. Had the rate not been revised, the profit for the year would have been               '
higher by Rs. 1,095,872.
Profit or loss on disposal of assets is included in income currently.
2.4 Deferred costs
Processing charges of long term loans and other deferred costs are being amortized
over a period of three years from the year of incurrence.
2.5 Investments
Long Term Investments
These are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in value of investments is made, if
considered permanent.
Short Term Investments
These are stated at lower of cost or market value.
2.6 Taxation
Current:
The charge for the current taxation for the year, if required, is based on taxable income,
which is computed as if all leases are operating leases.
Deferred:
The company accounts for deferred taxation using the liability method on all significant
timing differences, excluding those timing differences which are not likely to reverse in
the foreseeable future.
2.7 Foreign currency translations
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange
which approximate those prevailing at the balance sheet date except for liabilities
covered under an exchange risk coverage scheme which are translated at the rate
prevailing on the date of disbursement. Exchange differences arising as a result of
obtaining cover under these schemes are being .amortized over the period of loan. Net
exchange differences arising due to hedging mechanism are accounted for as deferred
revenue/deferred costs as the case may be and are credited/amortised to the income
over the term of the underlying transactions.
2.8 Off-setting of financial assets and financial liabilities
A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount reported in the
balance sheet if the company has a legally enforceable right to set-off the transaction
and also intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
2.9 Employees' retirement benefits
The company operates a contributory provident fund for all its permanent employees
and contributions are made monthly in accordance with the fund rules.
2.10 Provision for doubtful debts
Keeping in view the nature of leasing business, the company, as a prudent policy,
makes this provision at a reasonable level, which as per management's anticipation is
adequate for potential losses on the lease portfolio.

24. TAXATION
Assessments have been finalised upto assessment year 1996-97. Provision for current
taxation has been made on the basis of minimum tax under section 80D of the Income Tax
Ordinance, 1979. The company has appealed against addition made by the Commissioner
of Income-tax in respect of assessment year 1991-92 to 1996-97 resulting in demand of
Rs. 3,551,001. The company has made full provision for the above additions.
Deferred taxation arising due to timing differences computed under the liability method is
estimated at Rs. 106.245 million of which Rs. 18.878 million credit is in respect of the current
year (1996: Rs. 87.3 million, credit for the year Rs. 13.076 million). The liability for deferred
taxation is not likely to reserve in the foreseeable future and therefore no provision has been
made in these accounts.
