DIRECTORS REPORT
The Directors are pleased to present the audited accounts for the
year ending June 30th 1997.
The period under review has been a very difficult for the stock
market. The market showed severe bearish tendency during
the period mainly due to political uncertainty and bad economic
coalitions.
The market remained directionless which affected investors
confidence.
During the period under review, your mutual fund made a net
loss of Rs. 154,926 after adjusting all expenses. This is by no
means a satisfactory result. With the new government in office,
the Stock Exchange Index is improving and your directors are
confident that the present year should be a profitable year for
the Mutual Fund industry and therefore your Mutual Fund
should show improved results. We are confident about the
future of the mutual funds.
