It is indeed my pleasure to present to you the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements of the company for the year ended December 31, 2007. REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE We passed through a very difficult year in 2007. The company achieved a sales revenue of Tk. 3,597.0 million and pre-tax profit of Tk. 399.7 million, as compared to Tk. 3702.3 and Tk. 523.2 million respectively of 2006. While any pretext is neither enough nor desirable to justify this below expected achievement, we however feel that it is our responsibility to keep you posted of the real situation. For long, our working capital facilities provided by banks were lagging behind the pace of the business growth that we achieved over the past years. The biggest of the constraints was the letter of credit limit. Our long initiative to extend that limit was hindered by a number of factors including the regulatory restrictions of the bank itself, which we successfully negotiated with the bank and came close to a solution in early 2007. But due to changes in macro-political business environment of the country the negotiated solutions could not come to its logical conclusion. To worsen the situation, we had to payoff our PAD and LIM- two short term credit facilities that we hoped for renewal/extension. All these factors have seriously affected our supply chain and we had to de-prioritize and in certain cases, suspend production and sales of certain products as a strategy to reap the most out of the situation. Consequent to this, sales of our infusion products and Active Pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) were down by Tk. 114.1 million and Tk. 78.1 million respectively. These have pulled down our overall sales by 2.84%. The least expected performance in sales however should not overshadow our achievement in certain key areas. I would like to inform you that despite the difficult operating situation, we were able to achieve growth in our core formulation business and export. Sales of our formulation products have increased to Tk. 3,216 million as against Tk. 3,136 million of prior year. We continued to maintain our key market focus, strengthened customer relationship and persuaded appropriate marketing and promotional strategies. As a result we have successfully retained our market position despite temporary problem at supply end. 7 0 0 2 T R O P E R L A U N N A 10 We also tried to maintain performance in the overseas markets. Export sales during the period increased by 6.7% despite product shortages. In 2007, we have entered into nine new international markets in Asia, Middle East, Pacific Islands, Africa and Central America and have registered 107 products in different markets. Besides, BPL signed a Long Term Arrangement with the Global Supply Division of UNICEF (Denmark) to supply 60,000 units CFC free metered dose inhaler product over a two year contract period. During the first quarter of 2008, we have entered into 3 new international markets- namely, Afghanistan, kiribati and Solomon Islands. There is a rising trend of prices of materials in the international market. This along with the lower sales has pulled down the achievement of our profit target. We have however, effectively persuaded for containment of operating expenses to minimize the effect of fall in gross profit. The bank related issues have been successfully resolved by the first quarter of 2008. The letter of Credit limit and the working capital facilities have been increased. DIVIDEND We have maintained our dividend rate despite lower earnings and sales in 2007. Board of directors has recommended 10% stock and 5% cash dividend -same as in prior year to ensure better yield on the investment of our valued shareholders. PROJECTS AND EXPANSION PROGRAMS I am pleased to inform that GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) audit of our new Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) facility has been carried out by a number of Drug Regulatory Authorities including Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), Australia. Additionally, audit of our existing Metered Dose inhaler (MDI) and Spray manufacturing facilities have also been carried out during the period under review. We are hopeful of positive outcome of theses audits. During the year, our project to build facility to manufacture Small Volume Parenterals (SVP), Opthalmic and Nebulizer Solutions progressed as scheduled. Hopefully as planned, we will be able to commence marketing of these products by first quarter of 2009. We are now expediting the process of adding more lines to our existing Oral Solid Dosage Facility. As you are aware, BPL is one among the few pharmaceuticals companies in the world that are currently producing technology driven CFC-free HFA MDIs. Based on the very encouraging responses that we are getting for our MDI products particularly for our Non-CFC MDIs from Central and Latin America and Middle East Countries, we have undertaken a project to add another 10 million units capacity plant beside our existing MDI facility. The project is progressing as planned. 7 0 0 2 T R O P E R L A U N N 11 A FUTURE Pharmaceutical sector of Bangladesh like all other industries is going to face new challenges. Rising prices of materials in the international market and higher domestic inflation is going to be a big issue. Besides, competition in the local pharmaceutical market is expected to intensify further. We are mindful of the challenges and confident about our capabilities to face them. Expected GMP certification of our new OSD facilities by recognized drug regulatory authorities will give a new momentum to our existing operation and will be inline with our target to achieve export led growth in medium to long term. Recognizing today's unmet needs of healthcare sector - our marketing strategy will continue to focus on value added but cost effective medicines. Our future strategy will continue to concentrate on retaining and expanding the domestic market share while capitalizing on the enormous export opportunities. CONTRIBUTION TO NATIONAL EXCHEQUER During 2007, BPL contributed Tk. 772.7 million in the form of import related taxes, VAT and Income tax to the national exchequer. CONDOLENCE In 2007 we have lost our long term colleague in the Board - a highly experienced and knowledgeable personality Mr. Choudhury Hafizur Rahman, who passed away on September 17, 2007. On behalf of the board I express my deep condolence at the sad and untimely demise of Mr. Rahman and pray for the salvation of his departed soul. We with great appreciation recall the valuable contribution he has made during his long association with this company in various capacities. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to express my sincere thanks to all BPL employees for their loyalty, commitment, professionalism and hard work during the difficult time the company has passed through. Without their skills and dedication BPL would not have been able to achieve today's position. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our medical community, customers, bankers, suppliers, government agencies, regulatory bodies and everyone BPL interacted with in conducting its business. I would also like to extend sincere gratitude to our valued shareholders and stakeholders for extending at all times their invaluable support and co- operation. Once again, on behalf of the Board of Directors and on my behalf, I convey my heartiest thanks to you all and look forward to your continued support and co-operation in the future as well.

Weighted Average Number of Ordinary Shares Outstanding during the year Current Year (2007) The Bonus Shares issued during the year 2007 were treated as if they always had been in issue. Hence, in computing the Basic EPS of 2007, the total number of shares including the said bonus shares has been considered as the Weighted Average number of Shares Outstanding during the year 2007. Earlier Year (2006) The number of shares outstanding before the bonus issue has been adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of shares outstanding as if the bonus issue had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period reported (2006), and accordingly, in calculating the adjusted EPS of 2006, the total number of shares including the subsequent bonus issue in 2007 has been considered as the Weighted Average number of Shares Outstanding during the year 2006. The basis of computation of number of shares as states above is in line with the provisions of IAS 33 “ Earning Per Share “. The logic behind this basis, as stated in the said IAS is, that the bonus Shares are issued to the existing shareholders without any consideration, and therefore, the number of shares outstanding is increased without an increase in resources generating new earnings. 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. 19.13 Foreign Currency Transactions Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the applicable rates of exchange ruling at the transaction date.
