SANAULLAH QURESHI KHALEEQ-UR-RAHMAN KHAN YUSUF H. SHIRAZI
Director Chief Executive Chairman
Karachi: October 31, 1998
CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
I have the pleasure to present the 11th Annual
Report of your Company for the year ended
June30, 1998.
THE ECONOMY
The year under review was full of challenges
on both the domestic and international fronts.
On the domestic front, the country faced
constitutional issues of extraordinary nature
which affected the flow of normal economic
activity. On the international front, foreign
investment was affected - partly due to the
internal situation and mainly due to the
economic crisis affecting Latin American,
Russian and the South East Asian countries'
economies resulting into the shying away of
investment from the international capital
markets.
On the other hand, Pakistan's economic
performance over the last few years has been
marked by a deceleration in economic activity,
deterioration in budgetary and current account
deficits and inflation. In order to reinvigorate
economic growth the Government took some
measures. It introduced economic reforms
based on both supply and demand side
economics. To improve revenue collection,
general sales tax regime was re-launched at
the retail level which partially increased the
'Tax Net'. The effect of these policy measures
will however take time to yield the desired
results.
Towards the year-end, Pakistan opted for
nuclear detonation on May 28, 1998 following
India's nuclear tests on May 11, 1998. It led to
economic sanctions by the developed countries.
The international loan giving agencies put their
shutters down. Consequently, foreign currency
accounts were frozen, rupee was devalued by
4.4%, making it 14.1% for the full fiscal year
and a two-tier foreign exchange regime was
introduced.
Despite the worsening situation, the economic
indicators for the year were quite satisfactory.
The GDP grew by 5.4% as against 1.3% last
year. Agricultural sector grew by 5.9% and the
manufacturing sector by 7.0%. The large-
scale manufacturing sector registered
a growth of 6.2%. The transport and
communication sector recorded a growth of
8.8%. Fixed investment increased by 6.5% and
national savings increased to 15.0% of GNP
from the 11.3% of last year.
MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS
The year under review witnessed important
changes in the monetary system too. The State
Bank of Pakistan reduced statutory liquidity
requirement ratio and cash reserves and re-
designed the export refinance scheme which
improved liquidity in the money market. The
demand however remained low early during the
year. The surplus liquidity went into government
securities. The excess liquidity brought down
Treasury Bill rates to almost 12.0 percent.
The banking system witnessed important
structural reforms. The nationalized commercial
banks (NCBs) underwent a downsizing exercise
and their non-performing loans were prioritized
for recovery. The objective was to restructure
these banks before privatization. The State Bank
of Pakistan tightened the lending criteria. The
defaulters could no longer get bank credit. The
SBP introduced a more comprehensive set of
disclosure laws. A number of regulatory
measures were taken by the SBP to improve
its regulation and supervision mechanism to
ensure availability of adequate credit in the
economy.
ATLAS GROUP PERFORMANCE
The Atlas Group of which your company is a
constituent member, jealously guards its brand
equity which represents good management
practices, ethical standards and quality of goods
and services provided to its customers. The
Group enjoys an excellent image in
government, business and social circles, both
nationally and internationally.
The Atlas Group is diversified and has
operations in engineering, financial services,
trading office equipment and information
technology. It consists of seven public limited
companies quoted on the stock exchanges in
Pakistan and eight private limited companies.
Atlas shareholders' equity has grown to about
Rs. 2.5 billion over the years; assets have
increased to over Rs. 8 billion, and sales
revenue crossed the Rs. 8 billion mark. The
Group paid taxes of Rs. 2.2 billion being 27.5%
of the total turnover of the Group. More than
50% of employees numbering 2,700 pay taxes
on their income and wealth.
The total paid up capital of the seven listed
companies stood at Rs. 944 million and free
reserves and surplus at Rs. 1.11 billion. The total
equity of listed companies stood at Rs. 2.05
billion as at June 30, 1998. The net worth value
of a Rs. 10 share works out at Rs. 21.77. Out of
these seven companies, two companies have
been rated 'A+' and three 'A' by the credit rating
and other evaluating agencies.
The seven listed companies, set up at different
times - the earliest in 1963 with a paid up capital
of Rs. 2.0 million and the latest in 1993 with a
paid up capital of Rs. 400.00 million- have paid
cash dividend of Rs. 287 million and bonus of
Rs. 208 million (market value Rs. 435 million).
Your Company was set up in 1989 with a paid
up capital of Rs. 20.00 million which has grown
to Rs. 105.19 million. The total equity at Rs.
217.70 million includes reserves and the un-
appropriated profit of Rs. 112.51 million. During
this period the Company issued bonus shares
of Rs. 16.55 million (market value Rs. 48.82
million at Rs. 29.50 per share) and paid cash
dividend of Rs. 54.76 million.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Reliance on Human Resource has been the hall
mark of Atlas Group since its inception.
Investment on Human Resource Development
is considered a prudent investment for all times
to come. Education, training and grooming of
employees for higher positions is a normal
feature with the Group.
To cope up with the growing needs of the Group,
a permanent cell has been established at the
Corporate Office for Human Resource
Development. A full time Director assists the
Group Personnel Committee which is headed
by the Group President and Chairman. The
Committee actively works for improving staff
service rules, staff compensation, and career
planning to make them more competitive and
attractive for the employees. Compensation
based on Job evaluation and performance
appraisal is now all the more a determining
factor for the performance bonus and the
employees motivation.
THE LEASING INDUSTRY
The leasing industry, which started in Pakistan
in 1984 has had a growth rate of approximately
35% p.a. over the last five years. It has
contributed to the extent of approx. 8% of private
fixed capital formation in the country. At present,
there are 32 leasing companies with a total
equity of Rs. 8.0 billion. Total outstanding lease
portfolio amounts to Rs. 36 billion. Market
penetration has been low mainly due to non-
availability Of long-term funds, high cost of
money and the willful default culture. As
suggested in earlier reviews, the risk of default
can be reduced if post-dated cheques for the
entire lease period from the lessees are made
mandatory and the law of bouncing of cheques
which already exists is implemented in letter and
spirit.
On the other hand, it is encouraging that the
Government has resolved a number of pending
issues favorably. These include treatment of
residual value of leased assets as purchase
price for lessees, avoiding double tax deduction
on sale and lease back transactions and
withdrawal of Capital Value Tax on used
vehicles. In a package for the engineering
sector, the Government had announced
increase in the upper limit of the value of cars
for claiming depreciation allowance from Rs.
0.6m to Rs. 1.0m which has not yet been
implemented: Sooner the implementation, the
better!
THE COMPANY'S RESULTS
During the year under review Lease
Disbursement of Rs. 544.41m was made, which
was 92.74% of the last year. Net Investment in
Lease Finance as on June 30, 1998 amounted
to Rs. 1,874.10m. The lease portfolio during
the year comprised of 52.60% in Machinery,
37.78% in Vehicles and 9.62% in Office
Equipment. The sectoral exposure as on June
30, 1998, was fairly diversified and comprised
of 14.63% in Textile followed by 13.94% in
Chemical & Fertilizer, 9.27% in Services, 9.21%
in Electrical & Electronic Goods, 8.53% in
Financial Institutions, 8.28% in Steel &
Engineering, 6.54% in Cement and 6.50% in
Food, Tobacco & Beverages.
Gross Revenue during the year amounted to
Rs. 339.35m, up 4.51% from Rs. 324.71m of
the last year. Financial charges amounted to
Rs. 263.15m, slightly higher than Rs. 262.34m
of the last year. Administrative Expenses rose
by 14.33% to Rs. 34.55m from Rs. 30.22m.
Provision for doubtful debts amounted to
Rs. 5.18m compared to Rs. 3.79m last year.
The profit before tax for the year amounted to
Rs. 34.36m compared to Rs. 24.63m last year.
DEFERRED TAX
The revised International Accounting Standard
which is effective from January 2001, requires
provision to be made for deferred taxation,
irrespective of its being reversible in foreseeable
future or not. Although in your Company's case
the deferred taxation liability is not likely to
reverse in the foreseeable future, yet the Board
of Directors has decided to start making a
provision. A sum of Rs. 5.5 million has been
provided in the year under review.
FUNDING
In the absence of adequate long-term funds
through local and international avenues the
company managed its resource mobilization
through COI portfolio and short-term funds from
the local money market. In addition to the
resource mobilization through COI and money
market operations, the company raised medium
term finance facilities of Rs. 73.10 million locally.
The management however believes that local
funds should replace the foreign borrowings.
During the year under review your Company
initiated to raise funds through TFC to the tune
of Rs. 200.0m. The instrument has been rated
"A" by Pakistan Credit Rating Agency.
CHANGE IN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On completion of 3 years of the term of the
Board of Directors, Extra-ordinary General
Meeting of the shareholders was held on
December 24, 1997 in order to elect the new
Board consisting of eight directors as fixed by
the Board. The following directors were elected:
Mr. Yusuf H. Shirazi (Chairman)
Mr. Razi-ur-Rahman Khan
Mr. Kenichi Nakagawa
Mr. Sanaullah Qureshi
Mr. Iftikhar H. Shirazi
Mr. Abdul Waheed Mian
Mr. Talat Mahmood
Mr. Toshiki Miyazaki
Subsequently, Mr. Kenichi Nakagawa, on
relinquishing charge as the General Manager
of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd; Karachi was
replaced by Mr. Masanori Okuda on March 27,
1998. Mr. Iftikhar H. Shirazi was also replaced
by Mr. Saquib H. Shirazi on April 24, 1998 and
Mr. Abdul Waheed Mian was replaced by
Mr. Muhammad Shafi on September 02, 1998.
May I place on record appreciation for the
contribution made by outgoing Directors and
welcome incoming Directors on the Board and
look forward to their support in managing the
affairs of your Company.
THE YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROBLEM
(THE MILLENNIUM BUG)
The year 2000 problem has taken the world by
storm. Being in the business of medium to long
term nature, your company has already
witnessed the problem some time back while
executing lease contracts involving the year
beyond 1999. A survey was conducted of
possible areas, business applications,
operating systems, third party software
products, machines and equipments, which
could be affected by this problem. The problem
has been taken care of and the system is now
"Year 2000" compliant. The external parties
like lenders, customers, suppliers, utilities, etc.
are also being contacted regarding their plans
to ensure that they are also "Year 2000"
compliant.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Nuclear test of May 28, 1998 has resulted in a
number of events such as imposition of
economic sanctions, freezing of foreign
currency accounts and continuous depletion of
foreign exchange reserves. This has added to
the uncertainties prevailing due to low
economic activity in the country.
Foreign financial institutions which used to
provide long-term funds have withdrawn. Local
institutions like PICIC, IDBP and NDFC used
to get funds from either State Bank of Pakistan
or abroad. Now both the sources are choked if
not exhausted. TFC is also an avenue to raise
funds, which could develop the secondary
market, but due to withdrawal of tax exemption
on its profit, this measure too has lost its
attraction · it will be costlier !
The default culture unfortunately is spreading
fast in the country. The need of the time is that
industry should exchange information about the
defaulters and the government should impose
strict regulations to punish defaulters. Leasing
companies and financial institutions should
adopt prudent and self-regulatory practices and
share information about the defaulters.
Scarcity of long term funds, poor rental
recoveries, low economic activity and CLA's
requirement of enhancement of paid-up capital
to Rs. 200 million by November, 1999 may force
leasing companies to go for acquisitions,
consolidation and mergers which the CLA must
encourage.
I foresee further challenges. However, the Atlas
Group has a history of facing such challenges
and come out admirably well. We rely on 3 S's,
i.e. Smart, Speedy and Stable a company; and
3 E's, i.e. Economy, Efficiency and
Effectiveness in meeting the challenges. We
place great emphasis on Human Resource
Development through education, training and
development of intellectual capital - the intellect
and integrity. The morale of your company's
staff is high and I am confident they have the
ability to face unusual challenges and
successfully come out of this situation.
(Great are those who do things, impossible)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to thank the members of the Board
of Directors for their guidance and valuable
contribution. Thanks are also due to the foreign
and local lenders and all the clients for their
valuable support. I also appreciate the SBP,
CLA and CBR for their support.
I also thank the Group Executive Committee,
the Chief Executive and his team and all the
staff members for their devotion and hard
work.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
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.
Dividends from equity securities are recognised when the right to receive such dividends
becomes vested.
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.
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 and 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/amortized 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 is 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. Income and expenses arising from such assets and liabilities
are also accordingly offset.
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.

23. TAXATION
Assessments have been finalised upto assessment year 1997-98. Provision for current taxa-
tion has been made on the basis of minimum tax under section 80D of the Income Tax Ordi-
nance, 1979.
Deferred taxation arising due to timing differences computed under the liability method is
estimated at Rs. 73.46 million of which Rs. 14.92 million credit is in respect of the current year
(1997: Rs. 58.55 million, credit for the year Rs. 16.61 million). The liability for deferred taxation
is not likely to reverse in the foreseeable future and therefore no provision for the same is
required. However, in order to comply with the requirements of the revised International
Accounting Standard 12, entitled "Income Taxes" which is applicable from accounting periods
beginning on or after January 1,2001, the company has decided to make a provision of Rs.
5.5 million in the current year in order to gradually make full provision in installments by
June 30, 2002.
