The evolution of the giraffe defines the 
uniqueness found in life. The giraffe’s 
long neck gave it a competitive edge 
over other herbivores to eat the leaves 
that no other animals can reach.

Beximco  Pharmaceuticals  Ltd.  reflects  that  uniqueness.  With    more    than    500    products 
reaching    more    than    60,000    doctors    and    rural    practitioners    across  the  country,    the 
Company  remained  in  its  growth  leadership  path  in  Bangladesh  Pharma  industry  with  its

Bangladeshi  company  to  launch  Salbutamol 
HFA  Inhaler  in  Singapore  with  our  own  brand 
Azmasol®  in the year 2012. In 2013, we became 
the  first  Bangladeshi  company  to  export  two 
ophthalmic  products  to  European  markets  of 
Germany and Austria. It was our promise to you 
that we would build our presence in Europe and 
we  have  started  delivering  on  that  promise.  In 
addition,  during  2012,  we  have  geared  up  our 
preparations to deliver on our promise to build 
a presence in the US market. 

Our  organic  growth  in  last  three  years  can 
be  attributed  to  the    Company’s    rapid-paced 
expansion.  Hence,  the  company  has  embarked 
on  further 
initiatives  for  capacity  building 
projects,  including  existing  product  platforms, 
and diversified dosage delivery and technology 
platforms.

Our  pursuit  of  delivering  excellence  in  all 
aspects of the value chain in the pharma market 
has  made  Beximco  Pharma  what  it  is  today 
and  this  quest  inspires  our  talented  teams  to 
continuously  challenge  themselves  and  deliver 
outstanding returns to our shareholders.

With your trust, we will realize our aspirations. 
We believe success is not a destination, rather 
a  journey.  Together  we  will  advance  to  deliver 
continual successes for the Company.

Managing Director

marketing  teams  have  delivered  great  results, 
including increasing the number of blockbuster 
brands,  the  number  of  Tk.  200  million  plus 
brands  in  revenue  has  increased  by  5  fold 
between 2009 and 2012. 

We  are  committed  to  enhancing  human  health 
and  well  being  by  offering  contemporary 
medicines. As a priority, we are therefore keen 
to  enhance  our  product  portfolio  with  new 
products.  During  2012,  the  Company  launched 
26  new  products,    including  dosage  forms  and  
strengths, with several  first-time  entrants 
in 
the Bangladesh pharma market. This offers our 
doctors better options to transform the lives of 
their patients with contemporary treatments. 

With  our  core  business  focus  of  specialized 
products  (Metered  dose  Inhalers,  Dry  powder 
inhalers,  Nasal  sprays  and  suppositories), 
already established and doing well, our talented 
R&D  team  has  helped  us  to  further  expand  in 
this  area  by  introducing  lyophilized  injectables 
and  products  in  pre-filled  syringes.  Our  R&D 
team  is  currently  working  on  many  platforms  
of  contemporary  technologies  in  formulation, 
which we believe will make our product portfolio 
more robust than ever. 

Our  strength 
in  creating  more  strategic 
partnerships lies in our employees’ professional 
capability  to  deliver,  and  in  the  quality  of  our 
manufacturing   facilities, which have achieved 
the  highest  number  of  cGMP  accreditations 
by  international  regulatory  authorities.  We  will 
continue to focus on achieving additional cGMP 
approvals  and  or  clearances  for  our  facilities 
and  formulating  products  complying  with  the 
highest  international  standards  resulting  into 
more  co-marketing  partnerships  in  the  global 
markets. We also maintained a focus in training 
and development of our employees during 2012.  

While continually striving to foster alliances in the 
global pharma market, our pursuit of excellence 
and  global  reach  of  our  brands  demonstrated 
good growth in the year 2012. We have entered 
seven  new  markets:  Mauritius,  Ethiopia, 
Columbia,  Azerbaijan,  Liberia,  Thailand  and 
Suriname.  Beximco    Pharma  products  are  also 
being supplied to various renowned institutions 
such as the Raffles Hospital, Heathway Medical 
Group  and  KK  Women  &  Children  Hospital 
in  Singapore,  and  the  MEDS  and  Kenyatta

ferrous ascorbate 275 mg 
equivalent  to  elemental  iron 
33  mg.  Ferrous  ascorbate 
is  a  synthetic  molecule  of 
ascorbic  acid  and  iron.  Ascorbic  acid  plays 
an  important  role  in  the  movement  of  plasma 
iron  to  storage  depots  in  tissues.  There  is 
also  evidence  that  ascorbic  acid  improves 
iron  utilization,  by  its  reducing  action  and 
it  may  have  direct  effect  on  erythropoiesis. 
This  molecule  doesn’t  dissociate  on  entering 
the  GI  tract  due  to  the  stable  chelate  of  iron 
with  ascorbate. Ascorbate  is  a  reducing  agent 
and  prevents  oxidation.  Hence,  it  maintains 
iron  in  highly  soluble  ferrous  form.  All  this 
factors contribute to the highest absorption of 
ferrous ascorbate. Hemofix® is indicated in the 
treatment of iron deficiency anemia.

Our dedicated and highly skilled people, with their collective resolve to excel, have always guided 
us in delivering our achievements and set a course for a bright future. Currently there are about 
2,700 employees working at Beximco Pharma and its strong pool of talent includes professionals

Global Reach

In the year 2012, we  
registered 36 new products in 
12 countries and commenced 
exporting medicines to 7 new 
countries.

Beximco  Pharma  has  focused  on  building  and  strengthening  its  presence  in  emerging  and  new 
markets.  The global generic drug industry has been growing steadily as a large number of branded 
drugs are going off patent and there is an increasing pressure from the governments around the 
world  to  contain  the  rise  in  healthcare  costs.  It  is  estimated  that  around  USD  150  billion  worth 
of  brand-name  drugs  will  go  off  patent  by  2015.  BPL  is  ideally  positioned  to  take  advantage  of 
this opportunity with its generic drug skills, global accreditations, as well as competitive cost of 
production. In the year 2012, we have registered 36 new products in 12 countries and commenced 
exporting medicines to 7 new countries.

The Company’s investments in R&D and regulatory affairs, as a means to enhance efficiency, have 
started to pay off too. We already have the highest number of international accreditations in the 
country  for  our  manufacturing  facilities  and  during  2012  we  received  GMP  (Good  Manufacturing 
Practices) accreditation from the Austrian regulatory authority for new MDI facility. We also received 
GMP clearance from MCC (South Africa) for the same inhaler facility.

In terms of targeted export markets, we are focusing on strengthening our presence primarily in 
emerging  and  developed  markets. While  we  are  competing  with  other  generic  companies  in  the 
world with low cost efficiency in semi-regulated markets, for regulated markets we are focusing on 
value added specialized niche products. In the year 2012, BPL also became the first Bangladeshi 
company to launch Salbutamol HFA Inhaler in Singapore.

To promote our products in international markets, we attended CPhI Worldwide (a leading pharmaceutical worldwide networking 
event) held at Madrid, Spain in October. This was a three-day event with 2200 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors from all around the 
globe.

Chairman’s 
Statement

Dear Shareholders, 

I am pleased to report continued progress during 2012 despite 
stiff  competition  in  the  domestic  Pharmaceutical  market  and  a 
challenging economic environment. We have achieved our sales 
and profit targets, made progress as planned in key operational 
areas,  expanded  our  business  in  domestic  as  well  as  export 
markets;  secured  approvals  for  new  units;  added  new  product 
lines and expanded capacity. These achievements have brought 
us a step closer towards accomplishing our strategic goals and 
strengthening shareholder value.

Looking back to where we were in 2007, we reported domestic 
sales revenue of Tk. 3,474 million. At that time our export sales 
were Tk. 123 million. Over the last five years our domestic sales 
have  more  than  doubled  to  reach Tk.  8,819  million  and  export 
sales  have  almost  quadrupled  to  Tk.  470  million.  In  2012  we 
exported  our  products  to  32  countries  around  the  world.  Our 
pre and post-tax profit in 2007 was Tk. 400 million and Tk. 353 
million  respectively  which  increased  to  Tk.  1,910  million  and 
Tk.1,319 million respectively in 2012. 

During the 1st quarter of 2013, we achieved another milestone 
in  our  export  operations  by  exporting  two  of  our  ophthalmic 
products to Germany and Austria. Export sales in the first quarter 
of 2013 have almost doubled over the corresponding period in 
the previous year. To sustain continued growth, the Company is 
committed  to  prudent  investment  in  the  business,  in  particular 
investment in R&D, facility upgrades, expansion of capacity and 
registration of products in international markets. 

48 I Annual Report 2012 | Chairman’s Statement

With our expansion into new markets underway and significant 
international  accreditations  achieved,  Beximco  Pharma  is  well 
positioned to continue to build the Company’s presence in both 
domestic and international markets. 

As  announced  in  April,  Mr.  Ahsanul  Karim  resigned  from  the 
Board  due  to  personal  reasons.  The  Board  thanks  Mr.  Karim 
for his guidance and valuable contribution during his time as a 
Director of the Company. Following Mr. Karim’s resignation the 
Company announced the appointment of Barrister Faheemul Huq 
to the Board as an Independent Director. Mr. Huq is an advocate 
to the Supreme Court of Bangladesh and a Barrister-at -law in 
England and Wales. Mr. Huq is a welcome addition to the Board 
where  he  will  also  become  Chairman  of  the  Company’s  Audit 
Committee. 

I  would  like  to  thank  all  of  our  employees  for  their  continued 
support and hard work, without which the achievements we have 
made so far would not have been possible. We are also grateful to 
our shareholders for their longstanding support to the Company. 

Looking  ahead,  we  are  confident  that  the  strategy  adopted 
by  management,  will  ensure  the  long-term  prospects  of  the 
Company and create significant value for shareholders.

A S F Rahman 
Chairman

3  Analysis of Operating Performance 

3.1  Business Outlook- a general overview

After growing at a robust twenty plus percentage in  2010 and 2011, Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Industry experienced a 
slower growth in 2012.  The market grew by 11.9% in value terms to reach at Tk. 94 billion (IMS: Q4 2012 report). Despite 
a slower growth in the market, Beximco Pharma managed to achieve desired growth and successfully improve its market 
share. 

The country continued to maintain 6% plus GDP growth rate in 2012 as well. The alarming depreciation of Taka against US 
Dollar that continued throughout 2011 till January 2012 has finally been restrained. Thanks to higher inward remittances, 
lower payment for import settlements, and moderate growth in export. The local currency appreciated by around 2.5% against 
US Dollar in 2012. This was somewhat a relief to the predicted risk of significant reduction of gross margin that started 
brewing in 2011 in the wake of deteriorating value of local currency against US Dollar, high rate of domestic inflation and 
increase in the  interest rates. The liquidity shortage that prevailed throughout  2011 also eased up  to some extent in 2012.
However, the political crisis that started by end of 2012 centering the upcoming election poses some degree of uncertainty 
in the overall economic environment of the country and is seen as an impediment to the growth of business. The first 
quarter of 2013 has already been affected for such instability in the political environment and continues to remain as a risk 
factor. 

3.2  Domestic and Export Sales

Net sales revenue of the Company has grown by 17.7% to reach at Tk. 9,289.1 million as against Tk. 7,890.2 million 
of 2011. Domestic sales continues to remain as the key driver with 95% of the total revenue coming from the domestic 
market. Encouragingly, sales of our formulation products that constitutes around 85% of the domestic sales, increased by 
19.3%. This significantly outperforms growth in the pharmaceutical Industry in 2012 and signifies further reinforcement of 
our domestic base. 

50 | Annual Report 2012 || Directors’ Report to the Shareholders

 
 
 
 
    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our export sales also registered a 20.5% increase to reach at Tk. 470.1 million as against Tk. 390.3 million in 2011. During 
the  year  we  have  registered  36  new  products  in  12  countries;  made  UK  submission  for  one  product  while  few  others 
are being readied; made submission with concerned regulatory authorities of several European countries for marketing 
authorization  of  eight  products  and  commenced  export  to  seven  new  markets  namely,  Mauritius,  Ethiopia,  Columbia, 
Azerbaijan, Liberia, Thailand and Suriname. Additionaly, this year we have launched our    Salbutamol Inhaler in Singapore 
and started export of Inhaler to South Africa.

3.3  Global Accreditation

Approval of manufacturing facilities by globally recognized authorities is the precursor to the enduring process of registering 
products in the overseas markets and export of pharmaceutical products. In the past our manufacturing facilities have been 
accredited by a number of International regulatory authorities, added to that, in 2012 we have received GMP accreditation 
from Austrian Regulatory Authority (Metered Dose Inhaler), TGA Australia (Sterile Ophthalmic facilities) and GMP Clearance 
from MCC, South Africa (Metered Dose Inhaler Facility).

3.4  Profitability

Pre-tax profit of the Company increased by 13.8% to reach at Tk. 1,909.8 million as against Tk. 1,677.8 million. In 2012 
the Company earned a Post -tax profit of Tk. 1,319.4 million which is an appreciable 10.1% higher than that of the previous 
year. The  Company  managed  to  maintain  its  gross  profit  rate  at  47.3%  (2011:  48.0%),  despite  high  rate  of  domestic 
inflation. Improved product mix and effective cost-management and profit optimization strategies significantly contributed 
in minimizing the negative impact on gross margin. 

4  Directors

4.1  Appointment of Independent Director

We are pleased to announce that in April 2013, Barrister Faheemul Huq joined the Board of Directors of the Company as an

3.5  

3.5.1  

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less provisions for amortization and impairments. Licenses, patents, know-how and 
marketing rights acquired are amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line basis, from the time they 
are available for use. The cost of acquiring and developing computer software for internal use and internet sites for external 
use are capitalized as intangible fixed assets where the software or site supports a significant business system and the 
expenditure leads to the creation of a durable asset. Also, the research and development expenditures that are definite to 
yield benefit to the company are capitalized.

Leased Assets
In  compliance  with  the  IAS  17:  Leases,  cost  of  assets  acquired  under  finance  lease  along  with  related  obligation  has 
been accounted for as assets and liabilities respectively of the company, and the interest element has been charged as 
expenses. Lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expenses and the reduction 
of the outstanding liability.

Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity 
instrument of another entity.

Financial Assets
Financial assets of the company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables. The company 
initially recognizes receivable on the date they are originated. All others financial assets are recognized initially on the date 
at which the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the transaction. The company derecognizes a 
financial asset when, and only when the contractual rights or probabilities of receiving the cash flows from the asset expire 
or it transfer the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially 
all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

3.5.1(a)    Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are created at original invoice amount less any provisions for doubtful debts. Provisions are made 
where there is evidence of a risk of non-payment, taking into account aging, previous experience and general economic 
conditions. When  an  accounts  receivable  is  determined  to  be  uncollected  it  is  written  off,  firstly  against  any  provision 
available and then to the profit and loss account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously provided for are credited to 
the profit and loss account.   

3.5.1(b)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, in transit and with banks on current and deposit accounts which are held 
and available for use by the company without any restriction. There is insignificant risk of change in value of the same.

3.5.1(c)  

Investment in Shares
Investment in shares of listed company is valued at lower of cost and stock exchange quoted value of year end. Investment 
in other shares is valued at lower of cost and net book value.

3.5.2  

Financial Liability
Financial liabilities are recognized initially on the transaction date at which the company becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the liability. The company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or 
cancelled or expire.
Finance liabilities include payable for expenses, liability for capital expenditure and other current liabilities.

3.6  

Impairment

(a) Financial Assets
Accounts receivable and other receivables are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective 
evidence of impairment. Financial assets are impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after 
the initial recognition of the asset and that the loss event had a negative effects on the estimated future cash flows of 
that asset, that can be estimated reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or 
delinquency by a debtor, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy etc.

(b) Non-Financial Assets 
An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The company assesses at each reporting 
date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates

Notes to the Financial Statements | Annual Report 2012 | 71

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and 
its value in use. Carrying amount of the assets is reduced to its recoverable amount by recognizing an impairment loss if, 
and only if, the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount. Impairment loss is recognized immediately 
in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset shall be treated as 
a revaluation decrease.

3.7  

3.8  

Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value as prescribed by IAS 2: Inventories. Cost is determined 
on weighted average cost basis. The cost of inventories comprises of expenditure incurred in the normal course of business 
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling price 
less any further costs expected to be incurred to make the sale.

Provisions  
A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as 
a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a 
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provision is ordinarily measured at the best estimate of the 
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the date of statement of financial position. Where the effect of time 
value of money is material, the amount of provision is measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be 
required to settle the obligation.

3.9  

Income Tax Expense
Income  tax  expense  comprises  of  current  and  deferred  tax.  Income  tax  expense  is  recognized  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income and accounted for in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 : Income Tax.

Current Tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of 
previous years. The company qualifies as a “Publicly Traded Company”; hence the applicable Tax Rate is 27.50%.

Deferred Tax     
The company has recognized deferred tax using balance sheet method in compliance with the provisions of IAS 12: Income 
Taxes. The company’s policy of recognition of deferred tax assets/ liabilities is based on temporary differences (Taxable or 
deductible) between the carrying amount (Book value) of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and its tax 
base, and accordingly, deferred tax income/expenses has been considered to determine net profit after tax and earnings 
per shares (EPS).

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which 
temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.   

Interest Income
Interest income is recognized on accrual basis.

Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred unless capitalization of such is allowed 
under IAS 23 : Borrowing Costs.

Employee Benefits
The company maintains both defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan for its eligible permanent employees. The 
eligibility is determined according to the terms and conditions set forth in the respective deeds.

The company has accounted for and disclosed employee benefits in compliance with the provisions of IAS 19: Employee 
Benefits.  The cost of employee benefits is charged off as revenue expenditure in the period to which the contributions relate.

  The company’s employee benefits include the following:

(a) Defined Contribution Plan (Provident Fund)
The company has a registered provident fund scheme (Defined Contribution Plan) for employees of the company eligible 
to be members of the fund in accordance with the rules of the provident fund constituted under an irrevocable trust. All 
permanent  employees  contribute  10%  of  their  basic  salary  to  the  provident  fund  and  the  company  also  makes  equal 
contribution.

3.12  

72 | Annual Report 2012 | Notes to the Financial Statements

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The company recognizes contribution to defined contribution plan as an expense when an employee has rendered services in 
exchange for such contribution. The legal and constructive obligation is limited to the amount it agrees to contribute to the fund.

(b) Defined Benefit Plan (Gratuity)
This  represents  unfunded  gratuity  scheme  for  its  permanent  employees.  Employees  are  entitled  to  gratuity  benefit  after 
completion of minimum five years of service in the company. The gratuity is calculated on the latest applicable basic pay and 
is payable at the rate of one month basic pay for every completed year of service.

Though no valuation was done to quantify actuarial liabilities as per the IAS 19 : Employee Benefits, such valuation is not 
likely to yield a result significantly different from the current provision.  

(c) Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits include salaries, bonuses, leave encashment, etc. Obligations for such benefits are measured 
on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.  

(d) Contribution to Workers’ Profit Participation/ Welfare Funds
This represents 5% of net profit before tax contributed by the company as per provisions of the Bangladesh Labor Law, 2006 
and is payable to workers as defined in the said law.

(e) Insurance Scheme 
Employees of the company are covered under insurance schemes.

3.13  

3.14  

Share Premium
The  Share  Premium  shall be utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1994 and as per direction of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission in this respect.

Proposed Dividend  
The amount of proposed dividend has not been accounted for but disclosed in the notes to the accounts along with dividend 
per share in accordance with the requirements of the Para 125 of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 1: Presentation of 
Financial Statements. Also, the proposed dividend has not been considered as “Liability” in accordance with the requirements 
of the Para 12 & 13 of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10: Events After The Reporting Period, because no obligation 
exists at the time of approval of accounts and recommendation of dividend by the Board of Directors.

3.15  

Earnings per Share (EPS)
This has been calculated in compliance with the requirements of IAS 33: Earnings Per Share, dividing the basic earnings i.e. 
earnings for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Current Year (2012)
The Bonus Shares issued during the year 2012 were treated as if they always had been in issue. Hence, in computing the 
Basic EPS of 2012, the total number of shares including the said bonus shares has been considered as the Weighted Average 
Number of Shares outstanding during the year 2012.

Earlier Year (2011)
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 (2011), and accordingly, 
in calculating the adjusted EPS of 2011, the total number of shares including the subsequent bonus issue in 2012 has been 
considered as the Weighted Average number of Shares outstanding during the year 2011.

The basis of computation of number of shares as stated 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. 

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.

3.16  

Foreign Currency Transactions   
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the applicable rates of exchange ruling at the transaction date. The monetary 
assets and liabilities, if any, denominated in foreign currencies at the financial position date are translated at the applicable

Notes to the Financial Statements | Annual Report 2012 | 73

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
rates of exchanges ruling at that date. Exchange differences are charged off as revenue expenditure in compliance with the 
provisions of IAS 21: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

3.17  

Statement of Cash Flows
The Statement of Cash Flow has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 7: Statement of Cash Flows. The cash 
generated from operating activities has been reported using the Direct Method as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange 
Rules, 1987 and as the benchmark treatment of IAS 7, whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments 
from operating activities are disclosed.

3.18  

Events after Reporting Period
Events  after  the  reporting  period  that  provide  additional  information  about  the  company’s  position  at  the  date  of  Statement 
of Financial Position or those that indicate that the going concern assumption is not appropriate are reflected in the financial 
statements. Events after reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

47. Financial Risk Management

The management of company  has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company’s risk management 
framework. Risk management policies, procedures and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions 
and the company’s activities. The company has exposure to the following risks for its use of financial instruments. 
- Credit risk
-  Liquidity risk
-  Market risk 

47.01 Credit Risk 

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual  obligations  and  arises  principally  from  the  company’s  receivables.  Management  has  a  credit  policy  in  place  and 
exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. As at 31 December 2012 substantial part of the receivables are those 
from its related company and subject to insignificant credit risk. Risk exposures from other financial assets. i.e. Cash at bank and 
other external receivables are nominal. 

47.02 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  company  will  not  be  able  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  as  they  fall  due. The  company’s 
approach to managing liquidity ( cash and cash equivalents) is to ensure as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient 
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under booth normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or 
risking damage to the company’s reputation. Typically, the company ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalent to 
meet  expected  operational  expenses    including  financial  obligations  through  preparation  of  the  cash  flow  forecast  with  due 
consideration of time line of payment of the financial obligation and accordingly arrange for sufficient liquidity/fund to make the 
expected payment within due date. In extreme stressed conditions the company may get support from the related company in the 
form of short term financing. 

47.03 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that any change in market prices such as foreign exchange rates and interest will affect the company’s 
income or the value of its holdings financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control 
market risk exposures within acceptable parameters. 

(a) Currency risk 
The company is exposed to currency risk on certain revenues and purchases such as revenue from foreign customers and import 
of raw material, machineries and equipment. Majority of the company’s foreign currency transactions are denominated in USD 
and relate to procurement of raw materials, machineries and equipment from abroad.   

(b) Interest rate risk  
Interest rate risk is the risk that arises due to changes in interest rates on borrowing. There was no foreign currency loan which 
is subject to floating rates of interest. Local loans are, however, not significantly affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The 
company has not entered into any type of derivative instrument in order to hedge interest rate risk as at the reporting date.
