REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors of your Company take pleasure in endorsing the Fortieth Annual Report being presented by the Chairman & Chief Executive,
together with the Company's Audited Accounts and Auditors Report thereon for the year ended December 31st, 2000.
OPERATING RESULTS
The gross premium income for the various classes of general insurance business underwritten during the year 2000 was Rs. 2,418,143
as against Rs. 2,678,513 during the previous year 1999, whereas net premium income during the year stood at Rs. 1,484,925 as
compared Rs. 1,382,801 in the previous year 1999. Gross claims paid during 2000 amounted to Rs. 147,496 as against Rs. 291646 in
1999.
REASONS:
The current year has been one other, that remained focused at transition. The Company was "capitalized" and the name changed to the
present (Nov. 2000) by the new management after a long wait. The new business plan, novel to the market yet in line with the new
Insurance Ordinance 2000 was adopted. Consequent upon the factors of transition the poor operation results can be summarized with
the following reasons:
a) Economic conditions in the country remained regressive with change of Government and the expectant change in the Insurance Act
only adding to the crises;
b) The new management was focused on the change of name to launch its marketing initiatives which could not be achieved in normal
course of time and is today induced onto the anvil.
c) Capitalization likewise was in process and the liquidity requirement of the Company could only be addressed post event.
d) The affairs of the Company were managed on issue to issue basis such that a solid foundation is created for a prosperous planed
future.
With the help of Allah the new management is pleased to report the following significant milestones in the turning around of the Company:
a) Approval of a business plan that was made by the Board as at 25th November, 1999 has now been fully adopted for implementation.
This is in line with the present Insurance Act; and encompassing the future changes just as much. The plan high lights introducing:
(i) Islamization of Insurance (ii) Formation of a domestic re-insurance pool (iii) Single risk single cover insurance products (iv)
Franchised branches within Pakistan and abroad (v) Securitization of assumed risk. These are all proprietary initiatives and place the
Company to play a leadership role in the Insurance Industry in the foreseeable future.
b) Capitalization was effected by the approval of the Board as at 21st December, 1999 to a tune of Rs. 60.80 Million and it is further
envisaged to take the Company's capital up to Rs. 500 Million plus, and predominantly through real-estate acquisition and swaps.
c) MUAVIN The Flag-ship product of the Company was approved by the Board as at 25th November, 1999 and launched to restore the
eroded customer base.
d) Legitimization of the above actions were approved by the Hon. High Court of Sindh as at 2rid March, 2000 through, and in response
to, an application moved by the Company.
e) The Recruitment department of the company has come into place with the JEEAALA and WAZIFA Plan, and Franchising has been
formalized with the SITARA plan as Pakistans' first financial franchise.
The new Management is still passing through the re-organisation exercise after the takeover from the previous Management. Certain
problems inherited from the past have been settled during the year 2000 while some remain. All told the extra effort and fresh
appointments being made should increase the business portfolio of the Company by the year end 2001 manifold. Necessary steps are
being taken to underwrite selected and securitised insurance business in order to monitor and minimise claim ratios in the future. Your
Company is also planing to introduce some (20) new products and plans in the market and these will be fully protected with securitised
instruments and a gold based domestic reinsurance pool called DAULAT.
