DIRECTORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
The Directors of the Company are pleased to present the 36thAnnual Report of the Company
for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Company’s Performance
During the year the Company has recorded a profit of Rs. 637,833. The profit resulted from the
rental income earned on investment property amounting to Rs. 450,000 during the year and
writing off of liability which is not expected to be claimed.
The Company was engaged in general insurance business comprising of fire, marine, motor,
engineering etc. With the promulgation of the Insurance Ordinance 2000, the requirement of
minimum paid up capital for an insurer to operate as an insurance company has been enhanced
to Rs. 350 million which is now Rs. 500 million as at Dec 31, 2016. The Company does not find itself in
a position to increase its paid up capital to the required minimum level and has ceased to
underwrite insurance business w.e.f. January 01, 2003.
Subsequently in the Annual General Meeting held on April 30, 2016, in which the Members have
resolved that they are not interested to inject the above mentioned huge amount of required
minimum paid up capital. Therefore, the Members and Directors decided in the meeting to
surrender the insurance license before the Insurance Division and remove the Company’s name
from the insurance ambit and in this respect, members of the Company have passed a resolution
to diversify the nature of business instead of Insurance business. The nature of the new business will
be trading subject to the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
With our best efforts the company has now officially exit from the insurance ambit as the insurance
license of the company has been revoked by the SECP Insurance Division through
S.R.O.1079(I)/2016 dated 22 November, 2016 in pursuant to sub section (1) of Section 10 of the
Insurance Ordinance, 2000 (XXXIX of 2000).
Subsequent to year end the proposed principal business activity together with change of name
have been approved by SECP through issue of order to grant permission for alteration in
Memorandum and issuing amended certificate of incorporation to the company. As the company
is no more an insurance company therefore for change of year end from December to June has
been applied to SECP and its approval is in process and shall be granted shortly. Therefore as
special case our accounts of financial year 2017 shall be prepared for June 30, 2017 consisting of
activities for six months period ended and financial position as at June 30, 2017.
From now our business activity is to engage in trading of computer and allied I.T. equipments,
development and sale of software and provision of allied services. Based on the current growth
rate and profit margin in I.T. sector we are in expectation that new business shall recover the
Company from accumulated losses with average growth rate of 20%. Initially the finance shall be
arranged by the directors to commence activities of new business and within tenure of 3 years
total assets of the company shall exceeds Rs. 10.00 million and our current ratio shall be 2:1 also the
accumulated losses would be completely aired.
Page 6
Auditors Observations
In auditors’ report to the members of the Company, auditors have changed their disclaimer and
now auditors opinion of true and fair presentation is subject to only two observation which relate to
valuation of property and dormant bank accounts. Point wise justifications are as follows;
i- The property value has increasing trend in overall Sindh also the market value of the said
property is approximate to Rs. 1,800,000 however as the company was dormant and
revaluation cost would be an additional burden on the company therefore it was not
carried and consequently no report was available. We intend to revalue the property in
financial year 2017.
ii- We have just received the approval of new business therefore now we shall manage to
revive the bank accounts and shall provide required information in subsequent year to
resolve this observation too.
Chief Executive
Subsequent to year end chief executive Mr. Muhammad Adil has resigned due to some other
professional compulsions. He was holding the office since 2010 and successfully managed its affairs
and has continued to improve performances at our company which are essential for our future
growth. We wish him well in his future endeavor.
To fill the vacancy we have appointed Mr. Muhammad Farrukh Bashir as new Chief Executive. He is
remained with us since 2010 and has all the skills and abilities to match with the office of the Chief
Executive.
Appointment of Director
Subsequent to year end due to the resign of Mr. Muhammad Adil a casual vacancy has arisen
which is filled by a new director Mr. Zubair Ahmed Khan for remaining tenure of the resigning
director.
Auditors
The present Auditors M/s. Muniff Ziuddin & Co. Chartered Accountants shall retire, and eligible to
continue as Auditors of the Company. The retiring auditors have completed the term of 5 years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
1 LEGAL STATUS AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY
1.1 Hallmark Company Limited (formerly "Hallmark Insurance Company Limited") was
incorporated as a Public Limited Company on 31 October 1981 under the repealed Companies Act,
1913 now the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and subsequently obtained registration under repealed
Insurance Act, 1938 now the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 as insurer. The registered office of the
Company is situated in Karachi.
1.2 The Company was engaged in general insurance business comprising of fire, marine, motor,
engineering etc. With the promulgation of the Insurance Ordinance 2000, the requirement of
minimum paid up capital for an insurer was enhanced to Rs. 350 million. The Company did not find
itself in a position to increase its paid up capital to the required minimum level and had ceased to
underwrite insurance business w.e.f. January 01, 2003.
1.3 During the year, the members of the Company have resolved in the Annual General Meeting held
on April 30, 2016, that they are not interested to inject the above huge amount of required
minimum paid up capital. Therefore, the Members and Directors resolved to surrender the
insurance license and remove the Company’s name from the insurance ambit and to diversify the
nature of business instead of insurance business. Thereafter the insurance license of the company
was revoked by the SECP Insurance Division through S.R.O.1079(I)/2016 dated 22 November,
2016 in pursuant to sub section (1) of Section 10 of the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 (XXXIX of
2000).
1.4 The proposed activity of the company is to engage in trading of computer and allied IT equipment,
development and sale of software and provision of allied services. Subsequent to the year end
renewed Certificate of Incorporation has been issued by the SECP as to giving effect to the change
of name. Moreover the change of principal activity, has also been approved by the SECP
subsequent to the year end.
1.5 The accumulated losses of the company as at balance sheet date reduced during the year to Rs.
3.94 million (2015: 4.58 million) and its current ratio has improved as the current assets increased
from current liabilities by Rs. 33,831 (2015: Rs. 1.32 million). These conditions are better in
contrast with the last year, however these events indicate a material uncertainty that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the
Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business.Meanwhile, the Company has also submitted a revivial plan before the SECP Karachi and
Islamabad. Therefore, the managment is confident that the Company shall continue as a going
concern, as the company is no more in the insurance ambit and management has reliable plan for
revival. Furthermore, required financing shall be made available by the directors therefore these
financials have been prepared on the basis going concern.
1.6 Due to suspended operations, register of members and fixed assets could not be timely updated.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprises of such International Financial

business is carried on. Furthermore, as mentioned above the company's registration under
Insurance Ordinance, 2000 has been revoked therefore the compliance of Insurance Ordinance,

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards

be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2017:
– Amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’ are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2017. The amendments clarify that the existence of a deductible temporary difference
depends solely on a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset and its tax base at the end of
the reporting period, and is not affected by possible future changes in the carrying amount or
expected manner of recovery of the asset. The amendments further clarify that when calculating
deferred tax asset in respect of insufficient taxable temporary differences, the future taxable profit
excludes tax deductions resulting from the reversal of those deductible temporary differences. The
amendments are not likely to have an impact on financial statements
– Amendments to IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ are part of IASB’s broader disclosure initiative
and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The amendments
require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities
arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash
changes.
– Amendments to IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment clarify the accounting for certain types of
arrangements and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The
amendments cover three accounting areas (a) measurement of cash-settled share-based
payments; (b) classification of share-based payments settled net of tax withholdings; and (c)
accounting for a modification of a share-based payment from cash settled to equity-settled.
– Annual improvements to IFRS standards 2014-2016 cycle. The new cycle of improvements
addresses improvements to following approved accounting standards:
– IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets and liabilities that
reflects the business model in which these are managed and their cash flow characteristics
– Amendments to IFRS 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2017) clarify that the requirements of IFRS 12 apply to an entity’s
interests that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 –
‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’. The amendments are not likely to
have an impact on financial statements.
– Amendments to IAS 28 ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’ (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018) clarifies that a venture capital organization and other
similar entities may elect to measure investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value
through profit or loss, for each associate or joint venture separately at the time of initial recognition
of investment. Furthermore, similar election is available to non-investment entity that has an
interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, when applying the equity
method, to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint
venture to the investment entity associate's or joint venture's interests in subsidiaries. This election
is made separately for each investment entity associate or joint venture. The amendments are not
likely to have an impact on financial statements.
– IFRIC 22 ‘Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration’ (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018) clarifies which date should be used for translation
when a foreign currency transaction involves payment or receipt in advance of the item it relates to.

received or paid and the prepayment or deferred income is recognized. The date of the transaction
for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset,
expense or income (or part of it) would remain the date on which receipt of payment from advance
consideration was recognized. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the entity shall
determine a date of the transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are provision for doubtful
debts, taxation and accruals.
Subsequent to initial recognition, carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
each reporting date for indication that an asset may be impaired and carrying values may not be
recovered. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated
recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of net selling price and value in use.
