 CHAIRMANS REVIEW

In Year 2009 the demand for automobile was sluggish .The industry for cars and light
commercial vehicles experienced 29% decline in the sales volume. The industry sold
107,768 units during the year against 151,517 units last year. Its my pleasure to present
review on the performance of the company for the year December 31, 2009

The demand has depressed during the year due to cost push inflation resulting from
depreciation of Pak rupee, limited financing by banks/leasing companies and general
economic recession.

First half of the year was the worst. Sales volume during this period has dropped by 53%
compared to last period of last year. Second half was somewhat better than first half year.
As it was grew by 33% over the first half year.

The market size of cars has marginal improved by 2% over the last year in the organized
sector. During the year 593,479 units were sold against 580,604 units last year. During
the first half year Demand was 25% lower than same period of last year. However this
loss of demand was offset by the increased demand latter half year.
HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

The growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalization & which hampered
the Pakistan private sector. Total restrictions for import of vehicles were set and after 1970 the
automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial
vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury item. In the 1970s price controls were finally
lifted, inserting a competitive element into the automobile market. By the 1980s, the automobile
market was still dominated.

To promote the auto industry the government started the Pak Auto Expo which was had its debut
showcasing in 1986. The Auto Expo of 1986 was a window for technology transfers showing how
the Pakistan Automotive Industry was absorbing new technologies and promoting indigenous
research and development for adapting these technologies.

General Environment
As we know most of people in Pakistan associated with middle class families and havent got
enough money to buy a Luxurious car. So they purchase economical vehicles such as Suzuki
Mehran, Alto and bikes for their convenience. Nowadays our life becomes very fast and every
one try to reach their destination as soon as possible and life style of people is continuously
changing.

Product Market
Sale Volume and Trend
Growth Rate
Product variety & Prices

Sales Volume
Pakistan's car sales have shown signs of improvement in the early months of 2010, largely thanks
to price reductions on the part of carmakers. Car sales of 10,372 units were up by 28% month-
on-month (m-o-m) in October and were 8% higher than in October 2008.
Although this may appear to be a welcome sign of recovery after a 50% decline in car sales in
FY09 (ending June 2009), the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) has partly
attributed the growth to a rush by consumers to buy before prices were increased again at the
end of October. Several carmakers have raised prices to counter the effects of exchange-rate
fluctuations, which have been adversely affecting margins.

PEST Analysis

Uncontrollable environment are those external factors which can prohibit us or can create
hurdles between us and our business. It is also called pest analyses which are as follow:

Political Environment
Pakistan has to face lots of ups and down since its independence. So many governments have
been broken down by military authority and most of the time marsh law applied on Pakistan. In
this scenario no entrepreneur was willing to invest in Pakistan except few. Due to this market
environment wasnt so good in Pakistan. Anyhow Pakistani government never been trustworthy
for any investor.

Legal Environment
As all countries, Pakistan also has some legislation about each sector. But like developing
countries it is hardly being imposed by authorities. Only due to corruption government
encourage smuggling and black marketing. When anyone supported by government or give
more commission to Govt. get inside in the market and they have very soft behavior by
government for any legal action. Such unethical activities destroy all law and legislation.

Economic Environment
Pakistan, an impoverished and underdeveloped country, has suffered from decades of
internal political disputes and external ongoing conflict with India. However, IMF approved
the government policies, encourages by different foreign assistance and renewed access to
global market since 2001.
 Socio-Culture Environment
Pakistan has strong culture background and it has been follow in some particular region of
Pakistan strictly. But with the passage of time it is going to change. Thoughts of people, choices,
taste and style has been totally changed. If we talk about the transportation source in Pakistan,
People use buses, pickups etc. for journey.

Technological Environment
Technological factor also very important and we havent control on it. Technology is grooming
with the passage of time. People also want that the product that they have is full of technology.
We never control on technology for example you launched the product last year and your sale
volume on that time is very high but after sometime due to latest invention a lots of substitute
exist in market which effect on your business so you cant hold on it.

Consumer Research
Perception of people

People think the product should have excellent fuel consumption and a good resale
value.
Easily availability of spare parts everywhere even in rural areas.
The quality of product is made according to Pakistan roads and infrastructure.
Product line extension with the very low difference of price.
3S (Sales, Service and spare Parts) at your door step.
Brand Loyalty.
People want such vehicle which doesnt effect on their prestige and also within the
range of them.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPEMENT

T&D Is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that randomness is reduced and learning or

behavioral change takes place in structured format.
Traditional Approach Most of the organizations before never used to believe in training. They
are holding the traditional view that managers are born and not made. There are also some views
that training is a very costly affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive
pinching. But now the scenario seems to be changing.
The modern approach of training and development is that Pakistani Organizations have realized
the importance of corporate training. Training is now considered as more of retention tool than
a cost. The training system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a smarter workforce
and yield the best results.
