CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders:
Economy
Financial Institutions
I am pleased to welcome you on behalf of the Board of Directors to the 19th Annual General Meeting of United Leasing Company Limited.
It is my great privilege to brief you on the Company, the market we operated in and the Company's activities during the year 2007. I would also take this opportunity to update you on contingencies and events happening after the balance sheet date as well as our future strategies.
The Country achieved a GDP growth of 6.5% in FY 2006-07 despite the natural disasters. This was slightly lower than 6.7% achieved in FY 2005-06.
The growth in agricultural sector was significantly lower than last year due to flood and shortage of various inputs.
The industry maintained its previous year's growth rate of 9.5%. Service sector registered an increased rate of 6.7% over 6.5% in FY 2005-06.
The inflation reached a very high level of 11.59 % at the year end. This was caused by high fuel and food prices both in international and domestic markets. The two natural disasters caused huge loss of food production which made the domestic food prices unstable.
Though the market mood was sluggish, the sector continued to grow during FY 2006-07 and the outstanding portfolio of the total sector reached Tk 76.6 billion this year from 63.0 billion in FY 2005-06, registering a growth of 21.59% compared to 22.33% in the previous year.
Finance Ordinance 2007 stopped depreciation claim on leased assets which will have significant adverse impact on the cash flow of Financial Institutions who operate mainly in the leasing industry. Financial institutions are now endeavoring to diversify their business portfolio.
Change in country's political scenario at the beginning of 2007 slowed down the private sector credit growth to some extent. Commercial Bank lending rates, call rates, yields on treasury bills and bonds however remained stable throughout the year due to excess liquidity in the banking sector.
Commercial Banks continue to remain the major source of funding for most of the financial institutions at a rate dictated by the lenders. Despite adequate liquidity in the banking sector the borrowing cost remained high. Diversification of funding source could also not make any significant headway as public issue of bonds is not feasible because of high issue cost. Finance Ordinance 2007, however, fully exempted tax on interest earned against investment in zero coupon bonds which can attract investments because of the tax incentive.
Remittances from workers abroad and export earnings grew by --- and ----% respectively. Imports increased by ----%. The year ended with a foreign exchange reserve of $ 5.51 billion.

Risk Management and Internal Restructuring
Equipment leasing remains the core business of the company. Factoring of accounts receivable and SME financing show promise, however their contribution to the current year's financial results are not significant. In December 2007, the Company added home loan in its products basket as a commitment to further diversification of its operation.
Company's operating revenue increased by 25.87% over the previous year whilst profit before tax increased by 12.53% to Tk 201 million. Revenue from long term activities increased by 25.55% whereas revenue from short term activities increased by 33.37%. Operating cost increased by 26.55% which was mainly due to 25.36% increase of financial expenses over last year. Earning per share increased by 16.95% to Tk 69 from Tk 59 in 2006.
During the year the Company disbursed Tk 3,108 million against assets financing and long term loan registering a growth of 9.36% over previous year.
The Company continues to maintain a proactive approach towards timely collection and gave top priority to control bad and doubtful assets. The collection department was reorganized and structured to enable it to raise early alert for possible defaults. During 2007 ULC was able to maintain the recovery ratio at 94% as in the earlier years even in adverse economic and political situations.
Company's loan and deposit portfolio stood at Tk 5.7 billion at the end of the year 2007, the major portion of which consisted of long-term loans from banks, and multilateral agencies.
During the year the Company obtained Tk 780 million long term loans from banks and Tk 199 million from Bangladesh Bank refinancing schemes. In its pursuit of diversification of funding sources, the Company mobilized Tk 407 million from individual depositors.
During the year the lending rates of the commercial banks remained high as in the previous years despite the excess liquidity. Call loan rate remained stable throughout the year.
The Company continues to provide a stimulating and challenging work environment for our human resources. To ensure the successful product diversification and meet the challenge of providing quality services to our geographically expanded customer base, we strengthened our workforce. We offered them competitive compensation and trained them to harness their full potential. Training for 1,180 man days was arranged for the staff locally as well as abroad.
The Company's credit risk management capabilities were further improved. Separate Credit and Credit Risk Administration departments were created with distinct responsibilities besides the Operations (Credit Administration) and Collection departments that already existed.
ULC continued to develop its risk management system as we are convinced that an efficient and effective risk management system is fundamental to our growth in our current and future business segments.

The Internal Control and Compliance department has also been strengthened with the segregation of Internal Audit functions and Compliance functions. A separate marketing team was created during the year to deliver better service to its expanded retail customer base.
Significant effort was devoted to articulate risk management policies. Process guidelines and manuals were also developed to ensure operational consistency and better internal monitoring and control.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Directors recommended cash dividend of Tk 20.00 per share and one bonus share for every ten shares held. There are no circumstances in the Company of which non-disclosure would affect the ability of the users of the financial statements to make proper evaluation and decisions.
The economic growth in terms of real GDP of 6.2% and gross domestic investment of 26.2% has been projected for FY08. The outlook is, however, subject to several downside risks. The rising inflationary pressures, the high global oil prices, local under-pricing of energy products, infrastructure constraints are some of the impediments. The socio-political conditions particularly in view of the up-coming general election will also play a vital role.
Despite the uncertainties, we expect that Company's business will grow in 2008 in line with Company's strategy to diversify the client base. The emphasis will be on expanding the lease/loan portfolio in the unexplored market of the country. Collection efforts will continue to be one of the main focuses of the Company in the year 2008.
To mobilize additional funds the Company is planning to issue zero coupon bonds for private or public placement during the early part of 2008. Initial steps in this regard, including getting the Company rated by a reputable rating agency, are underway. Article 179(7) of our Memorandum and Articles of Association authorizes the Board of Directors to raise funds by issuing bonds and debentures, however, the Securities and Exchange Commission is asking for approval from shareholders in general meeting even for private placement which we intend to do in this AGM.
We offer special thanks to our valued customers, shareholders, regulators, lenders and the international agencies for their continuous support and cooperation.
I take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the Board of Directors of the Company for their contribution during the year.
The employees of the Company deserve special mention for their dedication and hard work.
Sincerely,
Imran Ahmed Chairman

The undistributed profit will be utilized to invest in lease assets and meet contingencies under section 100 of the Schedule 1 of the Companies Act 1994.
As all of you are aware, Mr. A. S. M. O. Subhan who was the Chairman of the Company passed away on Tuesday, July 17, 2007.
We recall with gratitude his important pivotal role in the formation of the Company and his active association since its inception. As the Chairman of the Board of Directors and more closely as the Chairman of the Executive Committee, he rendered invaluable service and guidance to the Company in managing its affairs. Late Mr. Subhan's tireless effort and priceless contribution made the Company as one of the leading financial institutions of the country.
Let us pray for the peace and salvation of the departed soul.
The Board earlier accepted the withdrawal of nomination of Mr. Imran Ahmed, a Director of the Company from Duncan Brothers (Banagladesh) Ltd and simultaneously accepted his nomination from Lawrie Group Plc of the U.K. to represent them in the Company's Board. He is eligible for re–election.
Following the death of Mr. A. S. M. O. Subhan, Mr. Imran Ahmed was unanimously elected as Chairman of the Board by the Directors.
As per Articles 154, 155, and 156 of the Articles of Association of the Company, three directors namely Mr. P. A. Leggatt, MBE representing Lawrie Group Plc of U. K., Mr. M. M. Alam representing The Allynugger Tea Company Limited and Mr. M. A. Azim representing The Chandpore Tea Company Limited retire by rotation from the office and are eligible for re-election.

We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of the United Leasing Company Limited as of December 31, 2007 and the related Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flow together with the Notes 1 to 49 for the year then ended. The preparation of these financial statements is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

United Leasing Company Limited was incorporated on April 27, 1989 as a public limited company under the Companies Act 1913 (currently 1994) is domiciled in Bangladesh.

The Company has its registered office situated at Camellia House, 22 Kazi Nazrul Islam Aveneu, Dhaka.
The company provides financial services to cater the needs of its diverse client base which includes lease finance for acquiring assets for industrial and commercial use, term loans for meeting long term funding requirement, and factoring of accounts receivables for short-term working capital management. The Company offers various investment opportunities of predefined tenure ranging from six months to ten years.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on historical cost convention in compliance with the Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BAS).
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis following accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow statement and the disclosures have been made in conformity with Bangladesh Accounting Standards, the Companies Act 1994, the Financial Institutions Act 1993, the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules 1987, Guidelines from Bangladesh Bank and the Listing Regulation of Dhaka Stock Exchange.
Some assets and liabilities required the use of estimates and assumptions at the balance sheet date of the Directors' best knowledge of current events and actions; actual results may differ from those estimates.
Following Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BAS) 17, accounting for lease transactions have been recorded under finance lease method since all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are substantially transferred to the lessee as per agreement. Accordingly the aggregate lease receivables including un-guaranteed residual value throughout the primary lease term are recorded as gross lease receivables while the excess of gross lease receivables over the total acquisition cost constitutes the unearned lease income.
The unearned lease income is amortized to revenue over the primary lease term yielding a constant rate of return over the period. Initial direct costs, if any, in respect of lease are charged in the year in which such costs are incurred.

Fixed asset acquired under finance lease is accounted for at the lower of present value of minimum lease payments under the lease agreements and the fair value of asset. The related obligation under the lease is accounted for as liability. Finance charges are allocated to accounting period in manner so as to provide a constant rate of charge on the outstanding liability.
Subsequent cost related to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefit from the asset. All other expenditures are recognized as expenses as and when they are incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized on its disposal. The gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an asset is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated based on straight-line method throughout the estimated span of useful life ranging from five to ten years. Additions are depreciated for the full year irrespective of the date of acquisition of assets at the applicable rates while no depreciation is charged on any item in the year of its disposal. Depreciation is calculated on the cost of fixed asset in order to write off such amount over the estimated useful lives of such assets. The rates of depreciation used are as follows:
- Furniture & fixture 12.5%- Office equipment 15%- Electrical equipment 20%- Motor vehicle 20%
Software is generally charged off as revenue expenditure but considering the ability of generation of future economic benefits and the cost incurred to procure software, sometimes it is shown as intangible asset, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.
