CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
It is my privilege to place before you the Company's 37th Annual Report for the year ended 30th June
2000.
General:
Pakistan economy in a recession for over three years, remained weak and disturbed during 1999-
2000 due to severe internal and external press0res. Government continued to restrict its spending
demanded by budgetary constraints. Textiles and tractors offered important bright spots but demand
continued weak for most of the industries.
Motorcycle Market
Due to economic recession, capital goods industries were hardest hit. This situation was more
pronounced in the motorcycle industry. Demand for motorcycles was at the same low level as the last
two years. Sales of motorcycles during the year was about 15% lower than in 1995-96. Motorcycles
are mostly used by lower middle class income group, whose income levels have not grown with
inflationary movements. Therefore motorcycle prices were getting out of reach of many potential
users. Export Sales were low due to problems in some of our foreign markets; our cost and prices
were also important reasons for lack of success in this area.
Gross Profit
As a result of downward movement of Pak Rupee against the Japanese yen, as well as the general
inflationary pressures, costs rose substantially which could not be passed on to the consumer as that
would have reduced sales drastically. Gross Profit margin was sharply lower from 30.85% in 1998-
99 to 23.95% in 1999-2000.
Selling and Administration Expenses
These expenses were 38% lower, going down from Rs. 90.6 million to Rs.56.0 million as we wrote
back Rs. 12.445 million in 1999-2000, against having made a provision of doubtful debts of Rs. 24.572
million in 1989-99. This has been done under the same formula which was used to make the provision.
Financial Charges
We were able to obtain Foreign Currency loan from SMC, Japan at attractive rates. Also interest rates
and forward exchange cover fee remained low. Therefore Financial Charges were reduced from
Rs. 32.076 million in 1998-99 to Rs. 17.350 million in 1999-2000.
Profit & Loss Situation
Due to lower selling expenses and financial charges, the Company incurred a substantially reduced
loss of Rs. 4.744 million in 1999-2000 as against a loss of Rs. 44.848 million in 1998-99, despite a
sharp reduction in gross profit rate.
Future Prospects
As mentioned in my last year's review, the company is now moving towards break even point and
profitability. Sales at our Company owned and operated Showrooms are growing satisfactorily.
Demand from rickshaw makers for Suzuki Motorcycles is also gradually increasing as customers are
confident about our motorcycle quality and re-sale price. Thus during the year 2000-2001, although
sales to Government and exports are likely to remain negligible, our motorcycle sales are likely to
continue to improve, July-October 2000 motorcycles sales units and sales revenue are substantially
higher than July-October 1999. Our Wire Harness project is progressing satisfactorily. This is adding
significantly to our turnover. Total July-October 2000 revenue is about 70% higher than July-October
1999. Investment in a high quality wire harness project and other substantial investments in important
projects are in hand to add to SMPL sales. Such moves reflect confidence and commitment of Suzuki
Motor Corporation, Japan and your Company in the future of our country and our Company. We are
confident that the trend in Sales growth will continue.
