In view of our accomplishments and initiatives in 2006, we are repositioned for growth: a growth like never before with our significantly enhanced commercial operational capability, by sensibly adding products with significant growth potential, by focused expansion of overseas markets and accomplishing all these with our highly energized and motivated people. We are moving forward NNU A L R EPORT 69 2 0 0 A Nazmul Hassan, CEO of Beximco Pharma the new some focuses accomplishments and initiatives in 2006 to move the company forward: on of To move forward with a better than best pace, we need an excellence in executing every aspect of corporate operation: That's exactly what we are trying to achieve...... We have enhanced our commercial operational capability We have enjoyed good sales and market share in 2006. But, we are not completely satisfied with such modest growth rate of around 10-15% in recent past. We have set an ambitious goal of doubling our sales revenue by 2010. To achieve this revenue goal, we must unleash the untapped potential for our company in custom manufacturing partnership with the global giants in pharmaceutical industry. Aligned with this strategy, we have significantly increased our capacity of Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) production. Our new Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) plant has made our capacity constraint a thing of the past. Now, we are able to probe into the highly regulated markets of the first world countries. We have already commenced the international GMP certification process and the preparations are in the final stage to get this plant approved by TGA, Australia, followed by UK MHRA and USFDA. "Our new plant will enable us to manufacture our own brands and other pharmaceutical companies' products at a standard suitable for commercial scale in developed countries. We offer an extremely cost effective solution to manufacturing quality drugs, enjoying significant cost advantages due to the low labour and energy costs in Bangladesh."

CFCs are generally used as propellants in MDI formulation. They are safe for human use but are not environment friendly and the “Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete ozone layer” (1987) urges to implement gradual phase out of CFC usage globally. This global phase out of CFC production and formidable challenge to develop alternative ozone friendly inhalers placed the country like Bangladesh in a difficult situation to continue the supply of essential MDI to millions of asthma and COPD patients. Many major pharmaceutical companies in the world are undertaking extensive research and development works to produce CFC free MDIs, by replacing CFC propellant with Ozone-benign HFA (Hydrofluoroalkane) propellant. But, manufacturing HFA MDIs is a big challenge as it involves high level of expertise and sophisticated technology and for companies in developing and least developed countries it seemed to be a technology far beyond reach. In collaboration with Europe's one of the leading manufacturers of specialty medical devices and respiratory drug development companies we successfully developed and introduced country's first CFC-free HFA based MDIs in September 2006. There are only few pharmaceutical companies in the world who are currently offering this technology driven CFC-free HFA MDIs. Dr Richard Spiers, speaking at the launching International Seminar on HFA inhalers “We have been exporting our MDI brands to various markets including Singapore, Kenya and Pakistan. However, we have not been able to enter the most attractive US and EU markets due to our CFC based formulation. Our new HFA based formulations will enable us to enter the highly regulated markets of the US and EU which represent the major share of the world MDI market worth more than US$ 10 billion. ” NNU A L R EPORT 13 A 2 0 0 6 “We are focused on sensibly adding new products with significant growth potential” We understand that to grow with new momentum, we should increase our product line but we must not forget that we should also aim for maximizing return on resource allocation. Diversification into Small Volume Parenterals (SVP) and Ophthalmics market In 2006, we started new projects to build facility to manufacture Small Volume Parenterals (SVPs) and ophthalmic products. Entering these two segments will increase our local market share significantly. NNU A L R EPORT 14 A 2 0 0 6 We are focused on Excellence in execution In 2006, we started to adopt the “excellence in execution” in everything we do from manufacturing to marketing with our highly motivated and inspired people. In 2006, our excellence in execution approach helped us better identifying new products and reduced time requirement from concept to product launch significantly. In 2006, we launched a total of 58 new products and these new products made our business portfolio more robust to propel our growth in future. Business process: improving efficiency From the very beginning, Beximco Pharma has always been a pioneer in adopting innovative technologies intended to take the organization to a standard which would match other reputed global pharma companies. In 2006, we undertook various projects of upgrading our existing process in operations with new technology to drive greater productivity in quality control, warehouse, and production lines. initiatives are also ongoing to Several improve our overall manufacturing efficiencies, including reduction in wastage and operational costs. In this regard, we started to develop an Enterprise Resource Planning system( ERP) to integrate all data and processes in our company into a unified system. These development in the business process would definitely help us improve our efficiency. Oseflu (Oseltamivir) capsule is one of important products the most launched in 2006. The Government of Bangladesh made a stockpile of our Oseflu as a preparation for any potential pandemic of ‘Bird-Flu’. NNU A L R EPORT 15 A 2 0 0 6 Going the distance We are focused in global pharmaceutical markets While we are continuously strengthening our position in existing markets, we are also entering new geographies in global markets to achieve dynamic growth by 2010. We could advance much in 2006 in maintaining the momentum and gained new momentum of rapid transformation to become a globally respected international pharmaceutical company. We entered into 3 new overseas markets, registered 36 more new products in existing overseas markets, and signed distribution agreement in 5 new markets. In post 2006 period, we entered 4 new overseas markets, namely Ghana, Botswana, Belize, and Papua New Guinea, registered 79 new products in existing overseas markets, and signed agreement for product registration, distribution and marketing in 10 new countries.

We signed an agreement with Gulf Generic, a widely renowned and highly accredited pharmaceutical distributor in the Gulf region. Gulf Generic is owned by the members of the Kuwait Royal Family. Under the terms of the agreement, Gulf Generic will be responsible for the registration, distribution and marketing of Beximco Pharma products in Kuwait and other Gulf Central Committee (GCC) states whose pharmaceutical market is currently valued at over $2 billion. This agreement with Gulf Generic will help us mark our presence in the Gulf region and is a further evidence of our commitment to global expansion of our market. Africa has the potential to be an important growth driver in the global generic pharmaceutical market. We have been exporting pharmaceuticals to Kenya and Somalia in Eastern Africa, Mozambique in South-East Africa and Botswana in South-Central Africa. As part of our continued strategic expansion in Africa, we successfully started exporting to Ghana as the first country in Western Africa. Success in these markets will strengthen our presence in Africa and will definitely speed up the next phase of our expansion plan in this region. In summary, as a fast growing, high quality and efficient manufacturer and marketer of global quality medicines, we at Beximco Pharma are moving forward like never before. In view of our accomplishments and new initiatives in 2006, we are repositioned for growth: a growth with new momentum, and to become an internationally reputed pharmaceutical company. We believe, our highly skilled, motivated and inspired people will make our dream come true, as it always happened in the past.

The company considers the most valuable asset it has, is the people who work for the company for its 'successes' built to last. This people focused culture, indeed, makes Beximco Pharma unique compared to others. So it makes sense for the management of the company to do everything possible to ensure that every member of stuff enjoys the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the company that encourages the employees to be themselves. Here, the workplace has evolved to be a very close community of co-workers where employees take pride in their job, their team, and their company. They celebrate the successes of their peers and cooperate with others throughout the organization. Here, communication is open and accessible, hiring and rewarding are impartial and decisions are taken together with the employees in a free and fair process. Here, everyone is treated and cared for as an individual with personal life and respected of their professional life by encouraging and supporting professional development. Today, Beximco Pharma is not just a great workplace but is a great way of life. It has made itself a great company to work with where the company and its people 'grow together'.

Throughout my career here, whatever I do, I know, I am doing it for my society and for my country - because at Beximco Pharma we all share a passion of thriving for excellence and serving the country for building a healthier tomorrow. Nazmul Hassan, Chief Executive Officer “Being with Beximco Pharma means being full of life” I have always wished for a job which is challenging and which would bring the best out of me. Working in a dynamic organization like Beximco Pharma gives me all of these. The vibrant entrepreneurial spirit that prevails here at Beximco Pharma creates newer challenges for me and I feel exploring new boundaries while keeping pace with its momentum. For me, being with Beximco means being full of life. Ali Nawaz, Chief Financial Officer “At the end of the day it gives me a great feeling of contentment” I never felt like doing a job in Beximco Pharma; I always feel that I’m fulfilling responsibilities towards my society, my company and to myself. My job allows me to make my own decisions and implement them in order to get the job done and delivering my responsibilities. At the end of the day I look back with contentment that I have achieved for my company, for my country and for myself.

Here the brisk and electric atmosphere always inspires us to think big and make it happen, stimulates our thoughts and encourages us to invent. Here we don't just share views and ideas; we in fact try implementing those creative ideas. Working with Beximco Pharma is fun for me and I really enjoy being here. Rabbur Reza, Director, Marketing “I own my job here” I always loved to take total control of my life. At the very outset of my career I wanted to take total responsibility of my job as if I were the owner of my company - I wanted to own my job. The unique ownership culture which prevails here at Beximco Pharma encouraged me to achieve many and after these long years with Beximco Pharma I feel I have been practising, nourishing and enriching myself. Md. Zakaria S. Chowdhury, Director, Sales “After so many years I find no division between my family and my colleagues” from company growing I have been in this company for long. I saw this a humble beginning. Today, after so many years I find no division between my family and in Beximco Pharma - I am attached to both of my colleagues here them equally! Lutfur Rahman, Director, Works NNU A L R EPORT 21 A 2 0 0 6 “Here I am able to explore my ideas” Our society in general is unforgiving of failure, even honest mistakes, thus creating a cultural context that encourages only low risk, low reward ventures. With such perception in my mind, I was always a risk averter, not a risk taker. After joining the Beximco Pharma team, my second evolution of mind took place. Now, I am not afraid to make mistakes, which allows me to be a risk taker. In process, I learned from my mistake which I never repeated. I am not afraid to try different 'ideas' for my brands’ success. Here, I am able to explore my ideas. A Group Brand Manager “Here I can truly balance my work life and personal life” Management truly encourages and expects individuals to care for themselves before work. They understand personal lives are as important as jobs. A Female Executive “Here I feel comfortable and confident that I can achieve anything” Personal and professional opportunities here are endless. The company is always striving to improve itself and at the same time giving individuals the motivation and encouragement to achieve their desires. I have never worked anywhere else where I felt so comfortable and confident that I can achieve anything. “I think Beximco Pharma is the best place for self development” Manager, Production It's not long since I have been with Beximco pharma sales team, but within this very short period I discovered myself. If I were not here, I might have never known my real capabilities. I think Beximco Pharma is the best place for self development. A newly promoted Regional Sales Manager NNU A L R EPORT 22 A 2 0 0 6 “I say it the 'Beximco Pharma Experience' - one has to experience it to know it” Before I joined Beximco pharma, I worked with some other top-ranked pharmaceutical companies. Within only a year of joining, I realized the difference. The only thing my superiors compel me to do is self- development. Everything here has a class, everything I do here differentiates me from others. I say it the 'Beximco Pharma Experience' - one has to experience it to know it. A Beximco Pharma Sales Representative “Being with Beximco means adding value to one’s life” I joined Beximco Pharma about ten years back, and this was my first job. I am still here and never could think of anything else. Everything here at Beximco Pharma is special to me. Being with Beximco Pharma means adding value to one’s life. Front Desk Executive Our Core Values in Beximco Pharma NNU A L R EPORT 23 A 2 0 0 6 Social Responsibility We see it more as a 'duty' than as a 'responsibility' Corporate social responsibility is an integral part of Beximco Pharma's business strategy which is reflected in its mission statement - 'Each of our activities must benefit and add value to the common wealth of our society'. Here at Beximco Pharma, we view our operational success in terms of both being financially profitable so that we can contribute to the national economy and also being socially responsible so that we can do our part for the betterment of the society. Guided by this spirit, each year an increasing amount of contribution is ploughed back into social causes, demonstrating Beximco Pharma's commitment to the nation. More importantly, these contributions extend beyond and above one-time donation to a deep-rooted continued partnership with the society. At Beximco Pharma, we are in a business which deals with human life and this makes us more responsible to keep the highest standards of our products. Highest quality products, however, are only one side of our expression of commitment. We believe our responsibility lies even more in ensuring that our society gets benefited while we continue to grow. Likely, our passion for a healthier tomorrow is perpetually reflected in every effort we make. NNU A L R EPORT 24 A 2 0 0 6 We do business, do serve the humanity too As the country's one of the leading pharmaceutical companies, it is our mission to improve access to essential medicines saving our peoples’ lives. In line with this mission, Beximco Pharma introduced many products which were guided by its social commitment, not by its financial ambition. For example, Beximco Pharma is the first company in Bangladesh which introduced 5 (five) anti-retroviral medicines for HIV/ AIDS treatment fully knowing that these would not be commercially viable in Bangladesh. Currently Beximco Pharma supplies these HIV medications to several non-profit organizations at highly discounted price. Beximco Pharma also introduced oral anti-smoking drug Zybex® SR (Bupropion) just on the day before the announcement of a ban on smoking in public places in Bangladesh. This came as a huge relief for the chronic smokers who, despite all efforts, were unable to quit smoking. Beximco Pharma also introduced Oseflu®, a preparation of Oseltamivir, the only medication against the virus of bird flu, when the government and other working groups of the country were preparing to combat the potential pandemic of bird flu. Beximco Pharma donated Oseflu® to the government and proposed several initiatives for ‘Public- Private’ partnership to face the crisis. Beximco Pharma also donated Oseflu® to the government of Myanmar as a gesture of its empathy for the neighboring country. NNU A L R EPORT 25 A 2 0 0 6 Everyone here at Beximco Pharma knows that the company does not view its success and achievements in financial terms only, but also in terms of its deep relationship with the society and environment. It is one of our core values that we should take maximum care for our environment and should reduce environmental effects of manufacturing activities to a practical minimum. Keeping this in mind, whenever practicable, Beximco Pharma works to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment. Shifting from CFC-based inhalers to HFA-based inhalers is an evidence of our firm commitment to ‘Environment Protection’. Though it is still not a regulatory obligation, not even in the developed countries until end of 2008, Beximco Pharma proactively and deliberately invested heavily for the conversion of its MDI Facility and commenced manufacturing HFA based inhalers, replacing CFC-based inhalers, as a responsibility to protect the environment. Background of CFC phase out The metered dose inhalers (MDIs) generally contain CFCs as propellants, which are safe for human use but are considered as major culprits of ozone depletion. Ozone depletion poses a serious environmental threat, as it reduces the amount of ozone in the ozone layer that acts as a shield to protect the earth against the sun's harmful rays. In 1987, 183 countries including Bangladesh agreed to a treaty called “Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete ozone layer” and this treaty urges to implement gradual phase out of CFC usage. For Bangladesh this puts a ban on CFC usage from January 1, 2010. We took initiatives to stop usage of CFCs by introducing CFC-free ozone-benign HFA inhalers in 2006, to take small part in protecting our mother planet. NNU A L R EPORT 26 A 2 0 0 6 Our commitment to community is one of our core values and this has been reflected in our partnerships with community, government and various non-government organizations over the years. Beximco Pharma has arranged many public awareness campaigns on AIDS, Cancer, Diabetes, smoking, asthma etc. and worked with different professional organizations to convey information and create public awareness through arranging seminars, making rallies, publishing posters etc. Besides these, Beximco pharma has also organized, participated in and sponsored many cultural and sports events like Corporate Cricket League, School Handball Tournament etc. Above all, our corporate responsibility is reflected in our maneuvering effort to represent a picture of glorious Bangladesh and its people in different international forums. All our endeavours are to prove that Bangladesh is not just another third world country - it is bigger than it seems and it can make bigger things happen.

Dear Shareholders, I am privileged to welcome you all to the 31st Annual General Meeting of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited. I take this opportunity to present before you a brief on the operating and financial performance of the company for the year 2006. Sales and profitability It is indeed a matter of great pleasure and pride that in 2006, as in the past, the company successfully maintained its historic trend of continued growth. During the year, sales of the company registered an appreciable 11.3% growth to reach at Tk. 3,702.32 million as compared to 3,327.02 million of 2005. In the domestic market our sales increased by 10.8%. This significantly outperformed the industry growth which, according to IMS (Information Medical Statistics, Switzerland), was only 4.1%. Thanks to our reorganized and mirrored sales team strategy improving doctor coverage and winning brand building strategies that have better positioned the company in the minds of the doctors and other healthcare professionals. In 2006 we achieved export sales of Tk. 115.1 million- a significant 29.5% up over the prior period; entered into three new overseas markets namely, Sri Lanka, Somalia and Bhutan; and registered 36 new products in Kenya, Myanmar, Sri lanka, Nepal and Cambodia. Besides we signed distribution agreement in 5 new markets. We consider these to be a modest beginning of the intensified efforts that we are initiating to significantly boost up our export sales. Along with sales, the profit before tax also increased by 7.8% to Tk. 523.24 million as compared to Tk. 485.37 million in 2005.

Consistent with our previous trend and consequent to our constant drive to innovate quality product, in 2006, we introduced 58 products (including dosage forms) across a wide range of therapeutic classes. Importantly, we introduced Oseflu® (Oseltamivir) in Bangladesh market to combat the growing threat of Bird Flu. Also introduced 3 environment-friendly CFC free ozone- benign HFA based Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) for the first time in Bangladesh. Notable is that we are getting very encouraging response from overseas markets for our high-tech HFA based inhaler products. Projects and Expansion Programs In collaboration with Europe's one of the leading manufacturers of specialty medical devices and respiratory drug, we completed conversion of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) plant to manufacture HFA-based inhalers. I am proud to say that through introduction of this technology BPL joined the list of very few companies of the world that have capacity to manufacture HFA inhalers. Owing to increased demand, a project for capacity expansion of the MDI facility is currently undergoing. Another milestone achievement in 2006 was completion of the 2 lines of our USFDA approvable Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) facility. This facility is going to significantly ease our long suffered capacity constraint. We have now initiated the process of international GMP certification of the plant. In this regard a GMP audit by a developed country's drug regulatory authority is expected by the end of this year. I am also pleased to inform you that in 2006, we have successfully re-located / Outsourced cephalosporin and penicillin facilities which was pre-requisite for our OSD plant to better comply with cGMP guidelines. We also commenced a project to create manufacturing facility for Small Volume Parenterals (SVP) and Ophthalmic products which will help diversify our product portfolio. The work of this project has substantially progressed. Dividend Although we have proposed dividend for 2006 at 15%, the same rate of 2005, 10% stock dividend with 5% cash dividend for 2006 are expected to give better yield compared to prior year. Dear Shareholders, 2006 has given us a new impetus particularly our new OSD facility and HFA-based MDI facility has given us a competitive edge. As you will find in the CEO's statement we are striving to emerge as an international pharmaceutical company. In this regard we are repositioning ourselves to achieve an export-led growth in medium to long term. This however is a quite challenging task. We are aware of the challenges and confident of our capabilities. Finally, I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to our customers, bankers, suppliers, health professionals, government agencies, regulatory bodies and everyone the company interacted with, in conducting its business. Our main strength is our professionally dedicated and sincere human resources. I thankfully acknowledge their contribution to the company. Above all we are grateful to you, dear shareholders, for extending, at all times, the invaluable support and cooperation to bring the company to the level it has reached today. With your continued support Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited is destined to move forward. Thank you all.
