pleasure to welcome you all to the 26th Annual General Meeting of your company. I take this opportunity to lay before you a brief resume of the affairs of the company for the year 2001 and its future plan. 2001 Performance During the year, the company attained net sales of Tk. 2,401.24 million as against Tk. 2,452.52 million of 2000. I am pleased to inform that sales of the formulation products - our core business, continued to grow in 2001 as well. During the year local sales of formulation products increased by 3.68% in Taka. Our export sales for the year also grew by 6.91%. The overall slight decline in sales is however, mainly due to the decline in the sales of our basic chemicals products. Our major basic chemical products-Amoxicillin and Ampicillin are matured products. Because of emergence of several other manufacturers and increase in the cost due to consecutive devaluation, the profit margin of these products have squeezed substantially. Considering this, we are now in the process of introducing a few high-value high-margin products in the basic chemical’s portfolio to reverse the sales decline. Your company earned a pre-tax profit of Tk. 430.42 million as against 422.64 million of 2000. As you know almost 72% of our raw materials are imported. After several devaluation of taka against dollar, these materials have become costlier. But due to our committed drive for containment of cost, we have succeeded in neutralizing the adverse effect of devaluation. Our gross profit increased by 5.17% and pre-tax profit by 1.84% over last year in absolute terms. This by any standard is an appreciable achievement. Products Consistent to our committed efforts to cater to the health care needs of the country, 26 new products have been added to the existing product portfolio during the year under review. The products have got wide acceptance from the medical community. As a result Triocim, Prosan, Recox, Atova, etc. have already placed themselves in good positions in the market within a short period of time. Another milestone achievement was the launching of injectable products. For the first time we entered into small volume parental products’ market with Arixon. Our blockbuster product Napa continued to retain the number one position since 1990. In Antiulcerants category, Neoceptin R succeeded in remaining the market leader in 2001 as well. New Inhaler Plant I feel proud to announce that BPL’s Inhaler plant with world class manufacturing facilities has commenced commercial operation in 2001. This State of the Art Plant has already drawn interest from different quarters for its high technical standards. Successful implementation of such a high standard manufacturing facility is yet another landmark contribution from BPL in the healthcare system of the country. Cost effective improved quality medicines at affordable prices are now available to replace the more expensive and imported ones. Expansion Program The works of the expansion project is in progress. The planned target of opening of LC for the Machinery and Equipment was slightly impaired due to time escalation in releasing the Consortium Loan. Additionally, before entering into any contract we also wanted to ensure that the sources of supply we are considering are fully capable to deliver equipments complying to the US FDA standard. In this regard we sought the support and assistance of relevant international consultants. Every thing is now on track and we expect to go into commercial operation of the new plant by early 2003. In addition to the manufacturing and physical infrastructure facilities we are upgrading ourselves equally in other areas including development of human resources, training on cGMP Standards, etc. Looking Ahead With the implementation of WTO provisions the global business particularly the pharmaceutical business of the developing countries are going to face a new challenge. We are mindful of the challenges but at the same time confident of our ability to succeed. Our drive for both short and long run revenue and earning growth will continue in the future as well. Profitable product lines will be strengthened. Investment in introducing new products, molecules and dosage forms will be further enhanced. Recognising the needs of today’s healthcare market place, our marketing strategy will continue to focus on value added but cost effective medicines. Along with expanding our share in the domestic market, we will continue to aggressively pursue our search for new avenues in the international marketplace also, in the days ahead. Our achievements so far have paved the way in this direction. 42 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA 43 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA Dividend As you all know the WTO agreement is changing the global business environment. The pharmaceuticals business is becoming more complex and competitive particularly due to the WTO-TRIPs agreement. Changes in the international patent law are going to make the local manufacture of patented drugs very difficult and very costly. To face the new challenges we are making investment keeping in view the long term objectives of sustainable development and growth in revenue and profits in the difficult years ahead. This has compelled us to make more investments in areas like product research and development, creation of backward linkage facility, development of existing production facilities, etc. in addition to our major investment in the US FDA standard plant. Over the last two to three years the number of our new products has also increased substantially. In 2001 alone we have introduced 26 new products. Moroever, 70 new products are in pipeline. As you may be aware, introduction of a new product and its initial marketing requires a substantial amount of cash investment. Besides, addition of new products in the product line raises the working capital needs quite significantly. Our working capital credit limits have not been extended since 1999 although our business has substantially grown over these years. In this backdrop your board of directors have found it prudent to propose a dividend @ 10% this year instead of the 20% of the previous year. Contribution to National Exchequer During year 2001 Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited has contributed Tk. 426 million to the national exchequer in the form of import related taxes, Value Added Tax and Income Tax. Environment Our commitment for eco-friendly environment is recognized. We continued to put our best efforts to keep our environment free from pollution. We use environment friendly technologies and comply fully with the environmental codes to keep the environmental effect of our manufacturing activities to the acceptable level. Education and training for raising the environmental awareness levels of our employees is a continuous process within BPL. Social Commitments As in the past, BPL actively participated in various social awareness building programs in 2001 as well. BPL jointly with Beximco Infusions limited provided support in various activities undertaken on occasions like World Health Day, World Breast Feeding Day, etc. The company also sponsored supplements in the national dailies on health care awareness development issues. Acknowledgement On this occasion, I would like to recall with appreciation and thanks the support and co- operation we have received from our bankers, our suppliers, our customers, the regulatory bodies, the persons concerned in the various government agencies and various people with whom we have interacted in the conduct of our business. I am highly appreciative of our valued shareholders for the confidence they have placed on us and the invaluable support they have extended to us. I on behalf of your board of directors express my sincere thanks to all of you and look forward for your continued support and co-operation in future.

It commenced commercial operation in 1980 and went for public issue of shares in 1985. The shares of the Company are listed in the Dhaka and Chittagong stock exchanges of Bangladesh. The registered office of the Company is located at House No.17, Road No.2, Dhanmondi Residential Area, Dhaka. The industrial Units are located at Kathaldia, Auspara, Tongi of Gazipur. During the year, the principal activities of the company were manufacturing of pharmaceuticals drugs and medicines and also basic chemical products and sales thereof. The company employed 1,151 (2000: 1,047), employees as of 31 December 2001. 2. Accounting Pronouncements (Standards) The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standards-IASs adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), which are basically based on the International Accounting Standards – IASs issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee–IASC (now replaced by International Accounting Standards Board - IASB and International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation) and also based on the interpretations issued by the Standing Interpretations Committee – SIC (now International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee – IFRIC). It is noted that, as per the resolution passed by the IASB, all the standards to be issued by IASB shall be designated as International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS and, all the existing IASs issued by IASC continue to be applicable and be designated as IASs unless and until they are amended or withdrawn. 3. Accounting Convention (Measurement Basis) The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and therefore, do not take into consideration the effect of inflation. 4. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements and The Responsibility Thereto The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared and the disclosures of information have been made in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, the Listing Rules of Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges, and the accounting standards referred to in Note 2. 5. Principal Accounting Policies The specific accounting policies selected and applied by the Company’s directors for significant transactions and events that have material effect within the framework of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements", in preparation and presentation of financial statements have been consistently applied throughout the year and were also consistent with those used in earlier years. For a proper understanding of the financial statements, these accounting policies are set out below in one place as prescribed by the IAS 1 " Presentation of Financial Statements". 53 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA Revenue Recognition Revenue represents invoiced value of pharmaceuticals drugs, medicine and basic chemical products net off VAT. Sale of pharmaceuticals drugs, medicine and basic chemical products are recognized when invoices are made. Invoices were made after satisfying the following conditions as prescribed by IAS 18 "Revenue" : (a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product sold has been transferred to the buyer; (b) the amount of revenue was measured reliably; (c) it was probable that the economic benefits relating to the transactions will flow to the enterprise; (d) neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control usually associated with ownership of the product sold was retained by the Company; and (e) cost relating to the transactions was measured reliably. Recognition of Tangible Fixed Assets These are capitalized at cost of acquisition and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation in compliance with the benchmark treatment of IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment". The Cost of acquisition of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use inclusive of inward freight, duties and non-refundable taxes. In respect of major projects involving construction, related pre-operational expenses form part of the value of asset capitalized. Expenses Capitalized also includes applicable borrowing cost considering the requirement of IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs". Expenditure incurred after the assets have been put into operation, such as repairs & maintenance is normally charged off as revenue expenditure in the period in which it is incurred. In situation where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefit expected to be obtained from the use of the fixed assets, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the assets. Software and all upgradation /enhancement are generally charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring similar significant additional benefits. Fixed Assets do not include any assets held under lease. On retirement or otherwise disposal of fixed assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any gain or loss on such disposal is reflected in the Income Statement which is determined with reference to the net book value of the assets and the net sales proceeds. Depreciation of Tangible Fixed Assets Land is held on a freehold basis and is not depreciated considering the unlimited life. In respect of all other fixed assets, depreciation is provided to amortize the cost of the assets after commissioning, over their expected useful economic lives, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 16 "Property, Plant & Equipment". Depreciation is computed using the reducing balance method. Full year’s depreciation is charged on additions and no depreciation is provided on retirement, irrespective of date of addition or retirement respectively. Financial Instruments and Derivatives Primary Financial Instruments (Financial Assets and Liabilities) The disclosure of primary financial instruments carried at the balance sheet date alongwith the recognition methods and risks involved are summarized in Note 44 in accordance with the provisions of IAS 32 " Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation." Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is not a party to any derivative contract at the balance sheet date, such as forward exchange contract, currency swap agreement or interest rate option contract to hedge currency exposure related to import of raw material and others or principal and interest obligations of foreign currency loans. Inventories In compliance with the requirement of IAS 2 "Inventories", inventories including work-in-process are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost is calculated on weighted average method consistently. Costs comprise expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such inventories to its location and conditions. Where necessary, provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories (if any) identified at the time of physical verification of inventories. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred to make the sale. Trade Debtors These are carried at original invoice amount. This is considered good and collectible, and therefore, no amount was written off as bad debt and no debt was considered doubtful to provide for. Cost of Post Employment Benefits The Company operates a recognized contributory provident fund, unfunded gratuity scheme and a group insurance scheme for its permanent employees. Assets of Provident fund are held in a separate trustee administrated fund as per the relevant rules and is funded by payments from employees and by the Company at pre-determined rates. Employees are entitled to gratuity benefit after completion of minimum five years of service in the company. The gratuity is calculated on the last basic pay and is payable at the rate of one month basic pay for every completed year of service. The company’s contributions to the provident fund, gratuity and group insurance are charged off as revenue expenditure in the period to which the contributions relate. Leases Classification of Lease The lease is classified as an operating lease as it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incident to ownership consistent with the view laid down in IAS 17 "Leases". The annual depreciation rates applicable to the principal categories are: Measurement of Lease Building and Other Construction……..........................………............…….………....................10% Plant and Machinery ..................................................................…………………………….......15% Furniture & Fixtures ………..……………………....................................….…………................10% Transport & Vehicle ………….....………………….....……………………………………..............20% Office Equipment ….......………………….....……………….........................................10% to 50% 54 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA Leases payments (excluding cost for services such as insurance and maintenance) are recognized as expenses in the income statement on a straight line basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purpose of Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement, Cash in hand and Bank balances represent cash and cash equivalents considering the IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 7 "Cash Flow Statement", which provide, that cash and cash equivalents are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are not restricted as to use. 55 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA Creditors and Accrued Expenses Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed by the supplier. Income Tax The company is a Publicly Traded Company as per the Income Tax Ordinance 1984 and therefore, provision for income tax has been made during the year under review in respect of business income (net profit excluding dividend income) of taxable units (Dry-1, Dry-2, Dry-3, Dry-4, Dry-5 (Dec), Wet-1, Wet-2, Basic Chemical-1 and Basic Chemical-2) at the existing rate of 35% prescribed in the Finance Act, 2001. In respect of dividend income, 15% tax has been provided. The short/excess provision for tax shall be accounted in the year of finalization of assessment.

Proposed Dividend The board of directors has proposed a dividend of Tk. 1/- per share of Tk. 10/- each fully paid up for the approval of the shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2001. The said proposed dividend is not recognised as a liability in the balance sheet in accordance with the IAS 10 "Events After the Balance Sheet Date" . IAS 1 " Presentation of Financial Statements" also requires the dividend proposed after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are authorized for issue, be disclosed either on the face of the balance sheet as a separate component of equity or in the notes to the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company is disclosing its proposed dividend in the Note-39 and 57. The provision of the Companies Act 1994 requires that the dividends stated to be in respect of the period covered by the financial statements and that are proposed or declared after the balance sheet date but before approval of the financial statements should be either adjusted or disclosed. Considering the above stated requirements of IAS 10 and Companies Act 1994, the amount of proposed dividend have only been disclosed in notes without any adjustment in the accounts. Share Premium The Share Premium shall be utilized in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act 1994 and as directed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in this respect. The Section 57 of the Companies Act 1994 provides that the share premium account may be applied by the company: (a) in paying up unissued shares of the company to be issued to members of the company as fully paid bonus shares; (b) in writing off the preliminary expenses of the company; (c) in writing off the expenses or the commission paid or discount allowed on any issue of shares or debentures of the company; and (d) in providing for the premium payable on the redemption of any redeemable preference shares or of any debenture of the company. 56 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA In this respect, a statuary notification was issued in 1992 by the Controller of Capital Issues (now the Securities and Exchange Commission), allowing the above stated utilization of share premium including one additional purpose in adjusting or amortizing of intangible assets, subject to prior approval. The said notification also provides that the fund of the premium account is to be utilized in order of priority. Earnings Per Share (EPS) The Company calculates Earnings Per Share (EPS) in accordance with IAS 33 "Earnings per Share" which has been shown on the face of Income Statement and, the computation of EPS is stated in Note 40. Basic Earnings This represents earnings for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders. As there was no preference dividend, minority interest or extra ordinary items, the net profit after tax for the year has been considered as fully attributable to the ordinary shareholders. Weighted Average Number Of Ordinary Shares Outstanding During The Year This represents the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of the year plus the number of ordinary shares issued during the year multiplied by a time-weighting factor. The time- weighting factor is the number of days the specific shares are outstanding as a proportion of the total number of days in the period. Basic Earnings Per Share This has been calculated by dividing the basic earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted Earnings Per Share No diluted EPS is required to be calculated for the year as there was no scope for dilution during the year under review. Cash Flow Statement Cash Flow Statement is prepared principally in accordance with IAS 7 "Cash Flow Statement" and the cash flow from the operating activities have been presented under direct method as required by the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and considering the provisions of Paragraph 19 of IAS 7 which provides that "Enterprises are Encouraged to Report Cash Flow From Operating Activities Using the Direct Method". Cash generated from operation under indirect method, however, has also been given in Note 42 as additional information. Foreign Currencies The financial records of the company are maintained and financial statements are stated in Bangladesh Taka. Foreign Currency transactions are recorded at the applicable rates of exchange ruling at the transaction date in accordance with IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange ruling at that date. Exchange differences are dealt with in the income statement. The rate of relevant foreign exchange at year end is: 2001 1 U S Dollar ($) = Tk. 57.6450 2000 54.2500 Risk and Uncertainties for Use of Estimates (Provisions) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with international accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure requirements for contingent assets and liabilities during and the date of the financial statements. Due to the inherent uncertainty 57 ANNUAL REPORT 2001 BEXIMCO PHARMA involved in making estimates, actual result reported could differ from those estimates. In accordance with the guidelines as prescribed by IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets", provisions were recognized in the following situations: (a) when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event; (b) when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) reliable estimates can be made of the amount of the obligation. 6. Segmental Analysis – Business and Geographical Segments All the company’s turnover and operating profit is generated from sale of pharmaceuticals drugs, medicine and basic chemical products. The location of customers are within Bangladesh. However, there were some exports to Pkaistan, Myanmar, Kenya, Yemen, Vietnam and Singapore, which is not material.
