REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors have pleasure in presenting their forty-fourth Annual Report together with the Company's Audited Accounts and
Auditors' Report thereon for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Your Company continued to make steady progress during the year although the economic conditions in the country did not
show any tangible improvements.
OPERATIONS
Gross premium, Net Premium, Underwriting Profit, Dividend Income all registered positive growth. However, significant
increase of Rs. 13.9 million (35% over the previous year) in the Underwriting Profit is really encouraging.
The gross premium for the year 1997 was Rs. 151 million (Rs. 14.91 million up) as against Rs. 136 million for the preceding
year. Increase of 11% in gross premium has primarily been contributed by Fire and Motor & Miscellaneous Departments while
Marine business got affected due to the adverse prevailing conditions. Fire, Marine, Motor and Miscellaneous had their
respective share of 41%, 25% and 34% in the gross premium.
Despite higher net losses at Rs. 20.8 million and additional charge of mark up at Rs. 19.9 million, your Company earned a
profit before tax at Rs. 70 million - almost similar to that of previous year, which is commendable.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Gross premium of Fire Department at Rs. 62 million increased by Rs. 18.3 million or 42% as against Rs. 43.7 million of the
preceding year. Gross losses paid during the year amounted to Rs. 24.4 million as against Rs. 4.15 million for 1996. Contribution
to profitability at Rs. 21.6 million increased by 79.9% as against Rs. 12.0 million for the previous year.
MARINE DEPARTMENT
Gross premium of Marine Department at Rs. 37.9 million decreased by Rs. 8.7 million or 19% as against Rs. 46.6 million of
the last year. Gross losses paid during the year amounted to Rs. 8.4 million as against Rs. 10.8 million for 1996. Contribution
to profitability at Rs. 19.6 million increased by 11.6% as against Rs. 17.6 million for the preceding year.
MOTOR AND MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT
Gross premium of Motor and Miscellaneous Department
at Rs. 51.1 million increased by Rs. 5.3 million or 12% as
against Rs. 45.7 million of the last year. Gross losses paid
during the year amounted to Rs. 21.3 million as against
Rs. 12.8 million for 1996. Contribution to profitability at
Rs. 12.8 million increased by 21% as against Rs. 10.6
million for the year 1996.
PROFIT FROM INSURANCE BUSINESS
The profit from insurance business at Rs. 54.1 million
for the year 1997 increased by 35% over Rs. 40.2
million for the last corresponding year. The profitability
from insurance business was substantially higher as
compared to the increase in gross premium. These
rewarding results can be attributed to our corporate
policy of selecting quality business, maintaining our
clients by providing excellent service, controlling the
management expenses and with careful underwriting.
INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS
The Company's income from Dividend on investments
for the year 1997 at Rs. 37.7 million was higher by
22% over the previous year at Rs. 30.8 million. The
income from bank deposits for the year 1997 at Rs. 5
million against Rs. 6 million of 1996 was lower by
15% due to utilization of funds for investments.
CLAIMS SETTING ABILITY RATING
During the year 1997, your Company was given an
A+ (A Plus) rating for its claim settling ability by PACRA
- an independent and highly reputed organization
affiliated with FITCH IBCA, which is the third largest
International rating agency after S&P and Moody's.
This rating will definitely further boost up confidence
of the clients in your Company which already enjoys
the highest solvency margin in the market.
INVESTMENTS
During the year your Company invested Rs. 138
million in equity and shares of joint stock companies
which has increased the total investments from Rs.
254.58 million in 1996 to Rs. 392.65 million in 1997.
The market value of investments as at December 31,
1997 stood at Rs. 1,185.4 million, as against Rs.
811.3 million in 1996. The increase in market value
of the investments was due to the improvement in KSE
index and new investments made mainly in Coca Cola
Beverages Pakistan Limited (CCBPL), Nestle Milkpak
Limited, AgrEvo Pakistan (Private) Limited (AgrEvo)
and Dane Foods Limited during the year 1997.
EQUITY PARTICIPATION IN NEW VENTURES
It was mentioned to the members last year that your Company has entered into an agreement for participation in the equity of
Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan Limited (CCBPL). For this purpose a term loan of Rs. 200 million was obtained from a commercial
bank and a sum of Rs. 130 million was drawn out of the said loan. As a result of this agreement, your Company as part of
Packages Group has further invested Rs. 100.7 million in CCBPL hereby making a total investment of Rs. 134.6 million up to
December 31, 1997. CCBPL has so far acquired the Coca Cola bottling plants at Karachi, Hyderabad, Gujranwala and
Sialkot. Besides the insurance premium income, the management is hopeful that the investment in CCBPL will benefit your
Company from dividend on profitability and gain on market capitalization of its shares. Moreover, an investment of Rs. 31
million was made in AgrEvo Pakistan (Private) Limited during the year 1997. This company is engaged in production and sale
of crop protection and environmental health care products in Pakistan. AgrEvo has its business worldwide and we hope that
AgrEvo Pakistan will soon be able to start paying dividends and its share would attract premium on its public offer resulting in
capital gain to your Company.
