Introduction to the Corporate Strategy Document Arif Habib Limited's (AHL) corporate strategy shall always be driven by the tenets recorded in its Vision and Mission Statements. Indeed, the Board of Directors, the management and the staff of AHL all agree that for a corporate business strategy to succeed in the long run-and by implication command ownership by all stakeholders-it must be consistent with the objectives of the company. Cohesion, then, must exist between the corporate goals and the business strategy at all times. With the foregoing in mind, AHL has identified the following principal cornerstones for its strategy: a Prudent investment in service capacity, keeping in mind the ever-changing market dynamics, client needs and the opportunity-set. a Client-first approach: all clients must get value for their money; without exception, they must receive the fastest and the best service. a Set the standards: voluntarily set, and adhere to, the highest standards of professional conduct; this will also assure peace of mind and fair treatment for all stakeholders. a Value-approach: efficiencies, appropriate risk management measures and pricing strategies should enable profitable operations and good shareholder returns in all market scenarios. a The big picture: the company's social responsibility, and its intended role in the growth and development of the capital markets, must always be kept in mind in choosing the projects and businesses offered by the market opportunity-set; considered advocacy at the appropriate forums may also be taken up as a contributory tool. 05 PAGE Notic of Annual General Meeting Notice is hereby given that the Third Annual General Meeting of Arif Habib Limited will be held on 8 September 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at the Hotel Avari Towers, Fatima Jinnah Road Karachi to transact the following business: Ordinary Business 1) To confirm minutes of Second Annual General Meeting held on 14 September 2006. 2) To receive, consider and adopt audited accounts of the company together with the directors' and auditors' report thereon for the year ended 30 June 2007. 3) To declare final cash dividend @ 100% i.e. Rs. 10/- per share for the year ended 30 June 2007 as recommended by the directors. 4) To consider and approve bonus issue at the rate of 10% i.e. one share for every ten shares held as recommended by the directors. 5) To appoint auditors of the company and fix their remuneration for the financial year 2007-08.

I present the statements and the report to you on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors. By the Grace of the Almighty, AHL did very well during the FY, especially considering the large variations in the average traded volumes at the exchange during the year. The main features of your Company's performance are elaborated in the sections below: Financial results and appropriations During the FY, AHL earned revenues of PKR 559.23 million and posted net profit after tax of PKR 321.59 million. This represents earnings per share of PKR 16.08 on a fully diluted basis. While year-on-year (YOY) increases of 41.42 percent and 66.72 percent respectively were recorded in net earnings and revenues, a direct comparison is not appropriate because the Company had started its full operations during the latter half of the second quarter of the previous FY, i.e. in early December, 2005. At the end of FY 2007, i.e. on 30 June 2007, the paid-in capital of your Company stood at PKR 200 million and its total equity at PKR 597.46 million. This represents a YOY increase of 83.34 percent in total equity, reflecting the Company's ability to build-up its equity base effectively on the back of profitable operations. The Board of Directors has recommended final cash dividend at the rate of 100% and issue of bonus shares at 10% which shall be appropriated in the current financial year. The Board has further recommended the issue of 10 percent right share at PKR 100 per share including a premium of PKR 90 per share. The market The Karachi stock market remained flat during the first six months of the FY with KSE-100 index posting a net appreciation of only 0.51% during the period. However, the second half of the FY saw the market perform very well indeed: the index appreciated by 37.2 percent, taking the total YOY increase to a shade under 38.0 percent. The strong performance during the second half of the FY was principally on account of renewed interest of international investors in both primary and secondary asset markets. The resultant progress towards consolidations and takeovers in the banking sector remained a major factor in augmenting investor sentiment. On account of a number of factors, the average daily volumes-the average number of shares traded per day-were down by a massive 31.70 percent YOY, from 324.30 million shares per day during FY 2006 to 221.49 million shares per day in FY 2007. One principal reason for this was the two-fold increase in the direct tax on transactions in listed securities. Despite difficult market conditions during the first half of the FY, the Company was able to post good financial results, indicating its ability to perform well in a variety of situations caused by factors not directly under its control. By the Grace of the Almighty, the Company was able to efficiently utilize the opportunity set presented by the sustained improvements in values and traded volumes at the exchange during the second half of the FY. Outlook In the new financial year (FY 2007-08), the business outlook appears promising for the Company. AHL has been able to further enhance the average market share of broking business enjoyed by the holding company-M/s Arif Habib Securities Limited-that it inherited in December 2005. This positioning is suitably supplemented by the trends depicting increasing asset values and vastly improved average turnovers at the exchange in recent months. PAGE 08 The steps initiated to position your Company to take fuller advantage of its product-markets are being actively pursued by the management and remain on course. The Company's full service capability was consolidated during the year under review with the following measures: (a) strengthening, and increasing the frequency of, quality research output; (b) improved coordination between research and sales to help clients and the Company more fully utilize the market opportunities; (c) in-depth fundamental training for the sales professionals; (d) build-up of the Corporate Finance Division-that was inherited from the parent company at the very start of the FY under review-as a strategically important measure to help make your Company an even better-diversified financial services provider; and, (e) capacity building in all areas of the business, including the up-coming commodities desk using the National Commodity Exchange Limited (NCEL) platform. The Board is satisfied to report that the Corporate Finance Division closed its first full year with the Company as a money-making profit centre on full cost allocation basis. The Division was very active in public offerings at the KSE, including the Offer for Sale (OFS) of the ordinary shares of AHL by its parent company in December 2006. The Company has also successfully participated in large-ticket Corporate Finance and Advisory deals. Public listing During FY 2007, AHL became a publicly listed company. As reported in the half-yearly report for the period ended 31 December 2006, AHL's holding company offered 25% of the ordinary shares of AHL (i.e. 5 million shares) to the general public for subscription through an Offer For Sale (OFS). The offer price was Rs. 100 per share-including a premium of Rs. 90 per share. This was the single highest premium on a first-time public offer by a private sector enterprise in the country's history. By the Grace of Allah, the OFS was heavily over-subscribed, with applications coming from 52 cities and towns in all four provinces of the country and from Azad Jammu & Kashmir. The strong public trust evidenced by the response to the OFS was indicative of high expectations from the Company, its sponsors, Board and its Management. We take this trust very seriously and continue to do our best to come up to the high standards expected of us. Well before it was listed at the exchange, the Company voluntarily chose to adopt the highest standards of practice to ensure fairness and transparency for all stakeholders. Under the advice of the Management, the Board appointed a Principal Compliance Officer and an alternate to build and implement an effective Compliance regime on a Company-wide basis. AHL was amongst the first securities brokerage companies at the KSE to do so voluntarily. Shareholder returns As of the date of this report, the shares of AHL were quoted at PKR 291.85 at the KSE. This translates to a gross return of 191.85 percent and an annualized return of 319.83 percent based on stock price appreciation since the date the public investor subscribed to the offer. The total shareholder return generated by AHL well exceeded that provided by the KSE-100 since the Company's public listing: AHL's relative performance was a positive 169.11 percent, indicating a large alpha, well-supported by AHL's ability to generate superior shareholder returns. Corporate governance Arif Habib Limited is listed at the Karachi Stock Exchange. The company's board and management are committed to observe the Code of Corporate Governance prescribed for listed companies. Appropriate accounting policies have been adopted and consistently applied. Preparation of accounts and accounting estimates are based on reasonable and prudent judgment. International Accounting 09 PAGE Standards, as applicable in Pakistan, are followed. The system of internal controls is sound in design and has been effectively implemented. In compliance with the Corporate Governance Code, we hereby reaffirm that there is no doubt whatsoever about the company's ability to continue as a going concern and that there has been no material departure from the best practices of corporate governance, as detailed in the listing regulations. We further report that no material payment has remained outstanding on account of any taxes, duties, levies or charges. The company has no outstanding obligations under gratuity or pension fund except provident fund which is maintained in separate bank account alongwith profit.

The hard work, and the resultant performance, by the Company's employees are also gratefully acknowledged.

The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance is that of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to review, to the extent where such compliance can be objectively verified, whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the Company's compliance with the provisions of the Code of Corporate Governance and report if it does not.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are charged to equity of the company. 3.7 Trade Date Accounting All "regular way" purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, that is the date on which the company commits to purchase / sell an asset.

Sensitivity to interest/ markup rate risk arises from mismatches of financial assets and liabilities that mature or re-price in a given period. The Company manages these mismatches through risk management strategies where significant changes in gap position can be adjusted. Information about the companys exposures to mark up rate risk based on contractual refinancing and maturity dates, whichever is earlier, is as follows: PAGE 33 Notes to the Accounts NOTESTOTHEACCOUNTS For The Year Ended June 30, 2007 Interest/mark-up bearing One month Over to one year one year Rupees Rupees Financial assets Long term deposits Investments - at fair value through profit & loss Trade debts Receivable against securities transactions Receivable against CFS transactions 220,544,999 Loans and advances Deposits and prepayments Other receivables Cash and bank 220,544,999 Financial liabilities Loan from parent company Trade and other payables Markup accrued Short term borrowing Balance sheet gap 220,544,999 Non Interest/mark-up bearing Rupees 2007 Total Rupees 2006 Total Rupees - 13,971,500 13,971,500 12,870,000 - 31,204,000 278,093,975 31,204,000 278,093,975 130,404,600 393,729,041 - 24,041,405 88,270,642 8,367,311 326,517,271 770,466,104 220,544,999 24,041,405 88,270,642 8,367,311 326,517,271 991,011,103 27,052,714 5,149,932 2,131,711 5,188,929 202,683,228 779,210,155 - 433,908,131 4,102,412 - 433,908,131 4,102,412 - 250,000,000 191,165,595 5,621,869 58,874,379 - 438,010,543 438,010,543 505,661,843 - 332,455,561 553,000,560 273,548,312 The interest/mark-up rates on short term borrowing are ranging from 11.5% to 12.5% p.a (2006:10.69% to 11.5%) The interest/mark-up rates on securities transactions are ranging from 12% to 18% p.a (2006 :12% - 18%) 26.2 Concentration of Credit Risk and Credit Exposure of the Financial Instruments. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The company is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its debt securities are marketable and readily traded on the stock exchange. The company seeks to minimize its credit risk exposure by dealing with customers considered credit worthy against pledge of marketable securities and makes full provision against those balances considered doubtful of recovery. 26.3 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is an amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in arm's length transaction. Consequently, differences may arise between the carrying values and the fair value estimates. Underlying the definition of fair value is the presumption that the company is a going concern without any intention or requirement to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. The carrying value of all the financial assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximate their fair value.
