DIRECTORS' REPORT
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we present the Fifth Annual Report together with the audited accounts
for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Operations Review
The financial year ended June 30, 2000 turned out to be a better year for the stock market in general as the
market continued its improving trend which started last year. After remaining stable between 1100-1200
points levels from July to October 1999, the KSE-100 index started its rise in November and continued its up
trend till March 2000 when it peaked off at the level of 2054. Although tile policy steps taken by the
government for implementation of its economic and structural reforms program contributed significantly
towards improved performance of the market, the increase in speculative activity in the market also played
its role in pushing the index to its peak level. Hence the rally could not be sustained beyond March 2000 and
the index tumbled by approximately 32% to 1400 level in the last quarter of the financial year before closing
the year at 1521.
The declining interest rates and improving domestic liquidity improved the inflow of funds in the equities.
The KSE 100 index, which was 1054.67 as on 30th June 1999, appreciated to 1520.74 as on June 30, 2000,
depicting an increase of 44.19%.
Operating Results
The company posted a growth of 125% in net profit to Rs. 91.19 million for the year from Rs. 40.59 million
of the previous year. The operating results for the year are as follows:
(Rupees)
Investment Income 64,205,032
Operating Expenses (8,360,997)
Reversal of provision for diminution in the value of marketable securities 33,228,224
Provision for Taxation - Reversal 2,120,590
------------------
Net Profit for the Year 91,192,849
==========
Proposed Dividend Per Share 2.10
==========
Total Dividend 52,500,000
==========
During the year, the company realized capital gains of Rs. 45.09 million, dividend income of Rs. 11.99
million and other income of Rs. 7.12 million. The remaining provision for diminution in the value of
marketable securities from previous years was also fully reversed, as it was no longer required.
Portfolio Performance Relative to KSE-100 Index
Alhamdolillah, the portfolio of the company once again managed to outperform the KSE-100 Index. It was by
all means a very significant achievement as it was the fourth consecutive year that our portfolio
outperformed the benchmark index. None of the other investment companies in the country has managed to
outperform the benchmark KSE-100 index every year for the last four years.
The KSE-100 Index appreciated by 44.19% during the year ended June 30, 1999. On the other hand, total
return on fund portfolio was 54.01%. Thus the portfolio outperformed the benchmark index by 982 basis
points resulting in incremental income of Rs. 20.18 million. It may be noted here that the company's.
exposure to the stocks during the year has ranged between 60% to 90% of the net assets, signifying a low risk
strategy. Hence the out performance has purely been an outcome of prudent security selection and excellent
market timing. The company has so far completed four full years of operations and a summary of relative
portfolio performance is as follows:
June 30, 1997 June 30, 1998 June 30, 1999 June 30, 2000
Net Asset Value Per Share 10.00 7.24 8.22 10.55
Dividend Paid 1.18 -- 0.64 2.10
Total Return on Fund Portfolio (%) 12.36 (27.60) 22.38 54.01
KSE-100 Index 1565.73 879.62 1054.67 1520.74
Return on Index (%) (8.08) (43.82) 19.90 44.19
