REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
This year has been a crisis year for the financial sector. The economic activity has been at a standstill and major shifts
in the viabilities of industrial sectors has forced the managers of financial institutions to re-evaluate the credit policies.
increase monitoring activities and focus on provisioning policies. Cement sector has seen its fortune fluctuate wildly
while power sector has lost its sparkle in a relatively short period. The liquidity crunch at WAPDA KESC and certain
other government corporations has severely curtailed their investment capabilities. This in turn has had a major impact
on suppliers of goods and services to these corporations.
Despite this gloomy picture we foresee positive indications ~n government
policies to steer the economy into the right direction. Professional
management at nationalized banks. improved relations with IMF. focused
privatization and renewed foreign investor interest bodes well for the future.
In the above background. your company is moving ahead at a steady pace
set over the last 4 years. Lease income of Rs. 511 million and total revenue
of Rs. 631 million compare favourably with last year figures of Rs. 313
million and Rs. 379 million respectively. Lease income is 81% of total
revenue, in line with previous years, showing our continued commitment to
our core business i.e. leasing. Financial charges of Rs. 420 million represent
major portion of our total expense and are 78% higher than last year. This is
reflective of our growth and the higher cost of our borrowings - primarily
ANZA certificates of Investment (COIs). Administrative cost of Rs. 32 million
is higher by Rs. 7 million from last year. The major variance is represented
by advertising costs (Rs. 4 million higher than last year) incurred on
publicizing ANZA COIs. We will continue to direct resources in this area to
further broaden our COl base. The administrative expenses represent only
0.8% of our total assets - lowest among the larger leasing companies.
As discussed earlier. lease loss provisions have come under close scrutiny
of the management especially given the adverse economic condition of the
country. In light of this we have adopted a policy which recognises the
current economic environment and ensures that the balance sheet reflects
the true financial health of the company. This policy will also give confidence
to our creditors and the rating agencies. Our current year lease loss
provision is Rs. 43 million compared to Rs. 17 million in the previous year
and total provision as of June 30. 1997 is Rs. 75 million i.e. 2.6% of net
investment in leases.
Total assets of the company increased from Rs. 2.7 billion in 1996 to Rs. 4
billion in 1997. Net investment in lease increased from Rs. 1.9 billion to Rs.
2.9 billion a 53% increase. This strong growth in the leasing business is
reflective of marketing efforts and acceptability of your company as a major
player in the leasing business in Pakistan. Diversification of our lease
portfolio remains central to our risk management strategy. Sectorwise lease
analysis shows 23% in Power. 20% in Fuel and Energy 14% in
Cement, 11% in Services, 5% in Textile, 4% in Tobacco and 4% in
Chemical. The balance 19% is distributed in banking, glass.
ceramics. engineering, etc. Geographically the lease portfolio is
divided between Karachi (32%), Lahore/ Faisalabad (55%) and
Rawalpindi/ Islamabad (13.%). Our majority of leases are for
machinery (71%) while the balance is in equipment (22%) and
vehicles (7%).
The assets have primarily been financial through ANZA COIs.
As explained in our previous reports to the shareholders. we
continue our primary reliance on this source of funds. We carried out
a major advertising campaign in the last quarter of the year and are
encouraged by the response from the public. We intend to commit
additional resources to further increase our share of savings market.
This is possible due to ready acceptability and the trust reposed in our
corporate brand name- "ASKARI". We are committed to increase
our customer base by continuing to provide the best returns and
professional service. We are quite confident of our success.
We are seeking to diversify our resource base by approaching
multilateral agencies and other international institutions. Financial
institutions in Pakistan have shown their full confidence in your
company and we continue to look for their support and advice. We
have built these relationships on solid ground for mutual benefits.
Information technology is changing at a rapid pace and the
management is committed to use this technology to create
efficiencies and value for your company. We will continue to invest in
software and hardware to achieve highest levels of efficiencies in
delivering financial services and to achieve competitive advantage.
Our planned growth requires a regular supply of human capital. Our
strategy to open additional branches will also require quality staff to
give us effective penetration in the market. We will invest in the
human resources to sustain these growth levels. The Board is
appreciative of dedication and hard work of employees in achieving
the results.

Askari Leasing Limited ("the company") was incorporated in Pakistan as a public limited company on Ist August
1993 and is listed on the Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges. The company principally carries on the
business of leasing and providing finance.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Accounting Convention
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention
2.2 Revenue Recognition
At the commencement of lease, the total unearned lease income consists of excess of aggregate lease
contract receivable over the cost of the leased equipment. At the time a lease is executed, a portion of
unearned lease income which equals the allowance for potential lease losses is charged to income. The
remainder of unearned lease income is taken to income over the term of lease. starting from the month
in which the lease is executed. so as to produce a systematic return on the net investment in the lease.
Interest on short term investments and bank deposits is accounted for on accrual basis.
2.3 Allowance for Potential Lease Losses
The allowance for potential lease losses is maintained at a level which, in the judgment of the manage-
ment. is adequate to provide [or potential losses on lease portfolio that can be reasonably anticipated.
The allowance is increased by provisions-charged to income and is decreased by charge off. net of recov-
eries.
2.4 Fixed Assets and Depreciation
These are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to income applying the straight line method whereby cost of the asset is written
off over its estimated useful life. n respect of additions and deletions of assets during the year, depreci-
ation is charged proportionately from the month of acquisition and upto deletion respectively. Minor main-
tenance and repairs are charged to income as and when incurred.
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets so replaced, if any, are retired. Gains
and losses on disposal of assets, if any, are included in current year's income.
2.5 Investments
Long term
These are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in value of investments is made, if considered per-
manent;
Short term
These are stated at lower of average cost and market value determined on an aggregate portfolio
basis.
2.6 Taxation
The charge for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current tax rates after taking into
account tax credits and tax rebates available, if any. Deferred tax is accounted for by using the liability
method on all major timing differences excluding tax effect on those timing differences which are not
likely to reverse in the foreseeable future. As a measure of prudence, deferred tax debits are not
accounted for.
2.7 Deferred Costs
These are written off within a period of five years from the date of occurrence.
2.8 Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted for in rupees at the rates of exchange ruling on the date
of the transactions. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into rupees at the rate of
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date, except for liabilities covered under State Bank of Pakistan
exchange risk cover scheme, which are translated at contracted rates. Exchange gains and losses are
dealt within the profit and loss account.
2.9 Staff Retirement Benefits
The company operates a Staff Provident Fund scheme for all eligible employees and contributions are
made monthly in accordance with the rules of the scheme to cover its obligation.
