The Shareholders,
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Your Directors have great pleasure in presenting to you 40th Annual Report together with .Audited Accounts and the
Auditors' Report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The Insurance Industry has suffered due to unfavourable economic situation prevailing in the country during the year
resulting in depressed conditions of the Industrial, financial and trading activities which affected the profitability adversely.
This was further eroded because of enhancement of rate of tax on dividend income from the concessional rate of 5% to 33%
corporate rate and similarly the Capital gain which continued to be exempt since last several years was withdrawn in the last
Finance Act.
The net premium for the year earned Rs. 8.539 million, compared to Rs. 9.183 million, the reduction being mainly due to
the reduced Imports. The Underwriting Profit was Rs. 8.564 million against Rs. 12.358 million in previous year, the impact
of this reduction was decline in commission from Rs. 9.254 million in 1998 to Rs. 7.422 million in the current year and
increase in net claim paid to Rs. 2.075 million as against Rs. 1.653 million in last year.
The dividend income and profit from Banks received Rs. 53.131 million against Rs. 41.025 million last year. During the year
the Company's investment portfolio generated excellent return on account of dividend income at Rs. 42.913 million against
Rs. 19.154 million in 1998, an increase of 124%. The Capital gain on sale of Investments and Assets was lower at Rs. 0.777
million in 1999 against Rs. 25.417 million in 1998.
The Pre-tax profit earned is Rs. 60.553 million against Rs. 75.310 million in the preceding year. The Net profit for the year
amounted to Rs. 40,052,768 after providing for taxation Rs. 20,500,000 and adding Income tax refund of Rs. 10,006,450
together with un-appropriated profit of Rs. 129,894,271 the profit available for appropriation is Rs. 179,953,489. The
Directors recommend appropriation of the aforesaid profit, in the following manner:-
Proposed dividend ~ 50% i.e. Rs. 5/= per share Rs. 25,080,000
Transfer for the issue of 1,003,200 Ordinary
shares as Bonus Shares in the ratio of one
share for every five shares held. 10,032,000
Balance to be carried forward to next year. 14 4,8 41,4 8 9
----------
Rs. 179,953,489
==========
During the year the Company issued 100% Bonus Shares, resulting in paid-up-Capital to Rs. 50.160 million with Reserve
and Contingency Accounts stood at Rs. 287.962 million with total equity at Rs. 338.122 million.
