Still there was a decrease in the total revenue by 4.87% and reached the level of Rs 350.37 million in FY09 from Rs 368.29 million in FY08. A 4.8% decline in revenue, with the increased expenses of the company combined with greater allowance for potential lease losses have led to an 8.1% rise in before tax profit for the period at Rs 222.39 million. The profit after tax for the period stood at Rs 378.48 million, which is 4.5% greater than the net profit of FY08.

A similar trend has been seen in profit margin, between FY04 to FY06 which remained between a range of 5.3% and 9%, and falling to -24.21% in FY08. In FY09 gross profit shootup to 20.38% this increase is due to better performance in 2009 by the company. The Return on Equity had been ranging from 4.5% to 5.86% until 2006, only jumping in 2009 to the level of 28.95% mainly due to the phenomenal growth in after-tax profit for that year. If compared to the industry, DLL has been successful in having a steady ROE. In that respect, DLL has performed better than average for its competitors. In FY08, the ROE declined to 12.45%. This was primarily because the company s equity grew by 13% on the back of issuance of bonus shares and increase in funds of capital and general reserves. This growth was greater than that in the net income, culminating in a decline in this years ROE. In the FY09 company had highest ROE of 28.95%. Upon analyzing the Earning per share value of Dawood Lawrencepur Limited , we see that it has been relatively increased from 4.45 in FY04 to 13.88 in FY05.A But since FY05 earning per share is constantly following the decreasing trend.

Since last 2 years company is facing intense competition and pressure from emerging clothing and textile brands and company profit is highly affected. More investors are buying shares of competitors like gulahmed textiles, lakhani textiles e.t.c. due to declining trend of sales and profit after tax, EPS has declined. Decrease in profit after tax also decreases ordinary share holders right in the profit. EPS in FY08 is -4.22 and in FY09 is -3.28. it has been slightly improved but still company's shareholders are in loss. Upon analyzing the dividend payout ratio of Dawood Lawrencepur Limited , we see that it has been relatively increased from 56.18 in FY04 to 238.1 in FY07.A But since FY07 dividend ratio is constantly following the decreasing trend.

Since last 2 years company is facing intense competition and pressure from emerging clothing and textile brands and company profit is highly affected.

LIQUIDITY RATIOS

CURRENT RATIO

The liquidity position of the company has been increasing. The Current Ratio in FY08 was 1.27 and now rise to 1.502 in FY09. In contrast, the industry s Current Ratio has been actually increasing for the last few years from 0.96 in FY05 to 1.25 in FY08. Yet, DLL s current ratio is still above the industrial average. Moreover, the trend of a declining current ratio is also seen in competitors of DLL. In FY09, the current ratio of the company however rose to 1.502. This was aided by a rise in the Current Assets by 5.99% compounded by a fall in the Current Liabilities by 10.17%. This current shows that DLL can generate a greater income while incurring a lower level of expenditure compared to other companies. The Income-to-Expense Ratio improved marginally to in FY09. Although Administrative and General Expenses did increase, but selling expenses decreased. financial and bank charges, which form a greater portion of the total expenses increased . But since the income component exceeded the expenses growth by only 1.25%, the income-to-expense ratio only slightly improved.

DEBT RATIO

In previous years Dawood lawrencepur limited relied mostly on debts for financing its assets rather than financing through equity.A Since the financial year 2004, the Debt-to-Assets Ratio of Askari Leasing Ltd has been ranging from 0.60 or 0.75. it can be noted that a much greater portion of DLL s assets is financed by debt. The insignificant changes in total assets and total liabilities in FY09 result in maintenance of the ratio at its historical levels. This debt ratio is slightly declined because of company's changing policies of financing. Company is trying to reduce debt financing to maintain its credibility in the market. As a result, DLL's debt ratio has been declined from 0.078 in FY 08 to 0.075 in FY09.
