Nazmul Hassan MP
Managing Director

Managing Director’s Statement

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to report another successful year for the company with solid performance. 
Bangladesh  continues  to  achieve  sustained  economic  growth  with  GDP  growing  by  a 
record 7.2% in the last year, driven largely by rapid industrialization and robust agricultural 
output. The country has successfully transformed itself into a state of flourishing economic 
growth as it seeks to attain middle-income status by 2021. In its ‘Inclusive Growth and 
Development  Report  2017,’  the  World  Economic  Forum  commended  Bangladesh’s 
economic progress and ranks the country ahead of India and Pakistan. All of these positive 
developments  give  us  optimism  for  the  country’s  rapid  and  continued  socioeconomic 
progress in the coming years.   

Bangladesh Pharma Industry is currently valued at more than $2 billion and the market is 
growing by double digit for the last few years. Local companies consistently dominate and 
occupy more than 70% of the total market share. The pharmaceutical industry is one of 
the most dynamic and technologically advanced industries in Bangladesh. A recent study 
from London based BMI suggests that Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical industry will continue 
to expand  reaching USD 3.369 billion mark by 2020. Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical sector 
has  the  potential  to  grow  at  15  percent  for  the  next  five  years  riding  on  the  expanded 
domestic market as well as new export frontiers, according to a new research. 

During  the  past  year,  Beximco  Pharma  registered  double  digit  growth  with  revenues  of 
BDT 15.5 billion. We have maintained consistent growth in prescription share, the highest 
ever being achieved in the last quarter (April- June 2017), which helped us register  record 
monthly sales in June 2017. According to QuintilesIMS (now IQVIA) we grew faster than the 
market as well as the top 5 companies in the 2nd half of 2016-17. We have maintained 
our strong position in key therapeutic segments having 7 Beximco brands in the top 50 list.  

As  we  continue  to  pursue  growth  in  international  markets,  especially  in  emerging  and 
regulated  markets,  we  believe  future  growth  will  be  largely  derived  from  our  strategic 
collaboration with global MNCs and generic companies. Such collaboration will leverage 
our competitive capabilities in selected niche areas and provide access to new markets. 
There is no doubt Beximco Pharma is entering a new phase of growth and our strategy aims 
at  capitalizing  on  our  competitive  advantages  through  meaningful  alliances,  enhancing 
R&D skills and expansion of capacities.  

Global generic drugs market currently stands at more than $250 billion, with consistent 
double  digit  growth,  driven  by  increasing  demand  both  in  developed  and  emerging 
economies.  We are aware of the opportunities in global generics, particularly for value added 
generics in regulated markets. Our major focus remains on research and development for 
bringing high quality, differentiated products. Our R & D team has been continually working 
on diverse delivery systems, as well as regulatory filings in different markets.

year 

Last 
Beximco 
Pharma  became  the  first 
pharma 
Bangladeshi 
company to export medicine 
to  the  world’s  largest  and 
most  stringently  regulated 
pharma market, USA. 

As reported in the last year, we are currently building a large and modern pharmaceutical 
facility  to  maintain  a  sound  platform  towards  sustainable  growth.  Civil  construction  is 
complete and machinery is being imported. We expect commissioning of this new facility 
by early 2019. This facility with expanded capacity will cater to our growing demands in 
the coming days. We are also having a project of creating a new nasal spray facility and 
modern  microbiology  lab,  while  our  strategic  expansion  of  inhaler  facilities  is  going  on.  
Our state of the art human insulin project, in collaboration with a leading global insulin 
producer from Europe is complete and commercial launch is expected during the first half 
of 2018. Human insulin has a sizable market which is growing fast in the country, and we 
are optimistic that Beximco will be able to capture a significant market share of human 
insulin in the near future and contribute to revenue growth of the company.

We have seen another positive development as country’s much-awaited API technology 
park in Munshiganj is now ready and plots are now being handed over to the selected 
companies. This will largely benefit the industry providing backward integration into API 
and lowering its heavy dependency on import.

Last  year  Beximco  Pharma  became  the  first  Bangladeshi  pharma  company  to  export 
medicine  to  the  world’s  largest  and  most  stringently  regulated  pharma  market,  USA. 
After  the  successful  launch  of  Carvedilol  in  US  market,  company  received  approval  for 
3  additional  products  from  US  FDA,  namely  Sotalol,  Methocarbamol  and  Metformin.  In  
October 2017 we commenced export of Sotalol- our second product to the US market.   

During  the  past  year,  Beximco  Pharma  completed  its  first  overseas  manufacturing 
collaboration through a joint venture with BioCare Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd in Malaysia. 
The  metered dose inhaler facility established under the joint venture  has already received 
GMP approval from Malaysia’s Ministry of Health. Negotiations are currently underway for 

supplying products to the government. 

Beximco  pharma  has  been  granted  a  sub-license  by  UN’s  Medicines  Patent  Pool  (MPP) 
to manufacture Daclatasvir,  a new breakthrough drug for hepatitis C from Bristol-Myers 
Squibb. This sub-license is a testament to our capabilities and will enhance our image in 
the global stage. 

I  am  pleased  to  share  that  in  September  2017  World  Health  Organization  (WHO) 
approved Beximco Pharma’s oral solid dosage facility following the rigorous audit by its 
Prequalification Inspection Group. Beximco Pharma facility has been found fully compliant 
with  the  standards  of  Good  Manufacturing  Practices  (GMP)  recommended  by  the WHO.  
Prequalification is a United Nation’s program provided by WHO to assess the quality, safety 
and  efficacy  of  medicinal  products  procured  by  the  international  agencies.   The WHO’s 
approval will help us compete in international tenders from global agencies.

In  October  2017,  Beximco  Pharma  signed  an  MoU  to  acquire  majority  shareholding  of 
Nuvista  Pharma-  a  pharmaceutical  company  specializing  in  hormones  and  steroid 
drugs. This  marks  the  beginning  of  an  exciting  chapter  for  us  as  this  acquisition  deal, 
if  accomplished,  will  serve  as  a  strong  foundation  for  sustainable  growth  in  the  future. 
Nuvista’s strong footing in hormones and steroids is an ideal strategic fit with Beximco.

We are committed to ensuring health and wellbeing of the people by providing access to 
affordable medicines, and all our initiatives are directed towards achieving that mission. Our 
focus remains on expanding our generics business, enhancing R&D productivity, enabling 
our people and improving cost competitiveness. Quality is critical to our success and our 
excellent track record of compliance has made us a trusted partner to our customers.

Amid all the achievements and progresses we have made, we are very much aware of the 
challenges in today’s ever changing business environment and  strive to convert them into 
opportunities. With various initiatives underway, for both domestic and overseas markets, 
I firmly believe our commitment to quality and our focus on people will propel us forward.   

On behalf of everyone at Beximco Pharma and our board of directors, I thank you all for your 
astounding support, and I look forward to continued progress across each of our strategic 
imperatives in the coming days.

Chairman’s Statement

Dear Shareholders,

Following a regulatory change made by the National Board of Revenue, 
Beximco Pharma has changed its accounting reference date from 31 
December to 30 June. The twelve months to 30 June 2017 is our first 
full-year reporting since the change.

I am pleased to report another successful year for Beximco Pharma, 
both in our domestic and export markets, demonstrating our continued 
growth  momentum.  Upon  review  of  the  Directors’  Report  and  the 
Managing Director’s Statement, you will note that we have performed 
well in our operational and financial continuum with sales, net profit 
and  earning  per  share  strongly  increasing  from  the  comparable 
previous period.

We have accelerated growth in export sales, registering year-on-year 
growth  of  25%,  driven  by  our  focus  on  increasing  our  presence  in 
markets around the world. With the export of our first product to the US 
in August 2016, we began a new era for the pharmaceutical industry in 
Bangladesh. We continue to build our US portfolio, launching our second 
product  in  this  important  market  in  October  2017.  Beximco  Pharma 
remains  the  only  Bangladeshi  company  to  export  pharmaceutical 
products to the US.

In September 2017, we commenced the export of our first product in 
Canada, marking the first time a pharmaceutical product manufactured 
in Bangladesh has been launched in this country.

During the reporting period, Beximco Pharma formed its first overseas 
joint  venture  with  Malaysian-based  BioCare  Manufacturing  (M)  Sdn 
Bhd to set up a facility to produce specialised pharmaceutical products 
in  Seri  Iskandar  Pharmaceuticals  Park,  Malaysia.  Beximco  Pharma 

will  provide  technical  support  to  establish  the  facilities, 
as  well  as  the  technology  to  manufacture  and  produce 
products.  Although no significant impact in the short term is 
expected on our earnings as a result of this joint venture, it 
is an important testimony of our technical capabilities as a 
generic manufacturer.

Additionally, as part of our strategy to diversify, expand and 
reinforce our domestic market position, we are now exploring 
acquisition of a local pharmaceutical company strategically 
fit  for  Beximco  Pharma.  A  non-binding  memorandum  of 
understanding has been entered into for the acquisition of 
majority shares of Nuvista Pharmaceuticals- a Bangladeshi 
company specializing in hormone and steroid drugs.

As  you  know,  we  are  making  significant  investment  in 
our  manufacturing  facilities;  our  large  scale  physical 
initiated  to  support  company’s 
infrastructure  projects 
current  and  future  growth,  progressed  as  planned.  The 
human  Insulin  facility-  one  of  the  projects  under  our 
product diversification initiatives, has been completed and 
is expected to go for commercial operation in the first half 
of 2018.

We performed well in the past year and I remain confident 
that  we  are  taking  the  right  actions  to  grow  and  deliver 
results  for  you  in  the  coming  years  as  well.  Our  adopted 
strategies squarely fit to our goal to build Beximco Pharma 
as one of the fastest growing companies in the region with 
a strong presence in the global markets.

Finally, I must say we have got a highly dedicated, capable 
and  very  sincere  pool  of  employees. The  achievement  we 
have  made  so  far  was  only  possible  because  of  such  a 
talented  team.  I  thankfully  acknowledge  their  contribution 
to  the  company.  We  are  grateful  to  our  shareholders 
for  extending,  at  all  times,  their  invaluable  support  and 
cooperation to bring the company to the level it has reached 
today.

Thanking you

A S F Rahman

3.  Contribution to National Exchequer

4.  Overseas Joint Venture with BioCare Manufacturing, Malaysia

Beximco Pharmaceuticals has formed a joint venture (JV) with BioCare Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd based in Malaysia. Under the 
terms of the JV, Beximco Pharma will provide full technical support to BioCare to set up manufacturing facilities in Seri Iskandar 
Pharmaceutical Park, Perak, Malaysia and to produce specialized pharmaceutical products. The International standard metered 
dose inhaler facilities planned in the first phase of the project has already been completed. As per terms, Beximco Pharmaceuticals 
is to receive 30% of the equity shares in the JV Company and accordingly 600,000 ordinary Shares of BioCare having par value of 
Malaysian Ringgit (RM) 1 each, has been issued to Beximco Pharma. BioCare will operate and fund the facility. 

5.  MOU for Acquisition of Majority Shareholdings in Nuvista Pharma

In October 2017, Beximco Pharma has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding under which Beximco Pharma 
may acquire a majority shareholding in Nuvista Pharma. 

The Board of Directors approved the proposed acquisition of up to 85.22% of the entire issued shares of the target company. The 
proposed acquisition remains subject to due diligence and negotiation and completion of a definitive sale and purchase agreement. 
An international consulting firm has been engaged to conduct the due diligence. It is anticipated that the proposed acquisition 
would complete by the end of December 2017. The consideration for the Proposed Acquisition as finally agreed, shall be satisfied 
in cash.  

6.  Change of Brokers

In October 2017, Northland Capital Partners Limited was appointed as sole broker to the company in compliance with the AIM 
regulations to deal with the GDRs related transactions. Northland Capital replaced Daniel Stewart & Co.

Directors’ Report to the 
Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited I am pleased to place before you the Directors’ Report and 
Audited Accounts of the company along with the report of the auditors thereon.

1.  General Economic Overview

The Bangladesh economy continues to perform well with strong GDP growth, increased per capita income, stable inflation and 
strong foreign exchange reserve.  During the 2016-2017 financial year, the country achieved 7% plus growth in GDP; per capital 
income rose to $1,602 from $1465; foreign currency reserve reached a record in excess of $33.4bn and the inflation rate remained 
below 6%. Although the political environment remained calm and did not disrupt business activities, the country was affected 
by flooding that resulted in a severe loss of paddy production. Following this event, the price of rice significantly increased and 
is expected to remain high until next season. Increased food prices will trigger increases in inflation levels in the country in the 
current fiscal year. Despite the strong reserve position, the Bangladeshi Taka weakened against the dollar.  As of 30 June 2017, the 
exchange rate for one US Dollar stood at Taka 80.59 compared to Taka 78.40 for the previous year.

The government’s supportive policy towards the pharmaceutical industry remains unchanged. The Bangladeshi government has 
completed  the  development  of  an  exclusive  industrial  park  to  accommodate  API  manufacturing  facilities  for  pharmaceuticals 
companies. Beximco Pharma has been allotted 654 decimals of land. Current tax policy allows reduced corporate tax for newly 
established undertakings for a period of three to five years depending on the location of the industry. A 20% cash payback on export 
of API is also available under the tax incentive scheme.

The government’s allocation to the health sector continues to remain at an insignificant level and has had little effect on the demand 
for medicine. For the financial year 2017-18, Taka 161.82 billion has been allocated for the health sector, which is only 4.04% of 
the country’s total budget.  Given the small percentage of funding for the health sector, demand for pharmaceutical products in 
Bangladesh is predominantly driven by the increased individual private spending. This is backed up by the higher economic growth 
and equitable flow of income to the poorer people.

2.  Sales and Profitability

2.1   Domestic and Export Sales

The company achieved a net domestic sales of Taka 14,430.30 million in 2016-17. This is an impressive 11.7% increase 
over comparative prior period. We added 15 new products to our portfolio, four of which were launched for the first time in 
the country. Each of our key therapeutic brands performed well and achieved growth that exceeded the market. 

Along with domestic sales, our export also reached a record high registering a significant 25.2% growth over the previous 
year to Taka 1,078.47 million in 2016-2017. The proportion of export sales to local sales is steadily increasing. Export now 
accounts for 7.0% of our total sales.

Following the export of our first product, Carvedilol, to the US in August 2016, we have launched our second product, Sotalol 
hydrochloride, in this market.  Importantly, we have so far received approvals for four Abbreviated New Drug Applications 
(ANDAs) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the most recent of which occurred in July 2017 with the approval 
for our Methocarbamol tablets, further reinforcing our export opportunities in the US market. With the commencement of the 
export of Olopatadine to Canada in September 2017, we have set yet another milestone.

Chairman
Audit Committee

Report on the Activities of 
the Audit Committee 

Dear Shareholders, 

I am pleased to present the report of the Audit Committee of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited in pursuance with the 
Corporate Governance Guidelines of Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC). This report is a brief on the 
activities performed by the Audit Committee. 

Reviewing the Financial Statements

The  Terms  of  Reference  (TOR)  of  the  Audit  Committee  set  out  as  per  Code  of  Corporate  Governance  prescribed  by 
Bangladesh  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  includes  among  others,  overseeing  the  financial  reporting  process, 
monitoring  accounting  policies  and  principles,  monitoring  internal  control  risk  management  procedures,  reviewing  the 
statement of significant related party transactions, reviewing potential conflict of interests etc. 

The Audit Committee being a Standing Committee of the Board charged with oversight of financial reporting and disclosure 
thoroughly reviewed annual and quarterly financial statements of the company prior to their submission to the board of 
directors for approval.

The committee in its meeting held on October 19, 2017 reviewed the Annual Financial Statements for the year 2016-
2017.  The  draft  audited  accounts  along  with  the  report  of  the  auditors  were  placed  before  the  committee.  The  chief 
financial officer briefed the committee on the financial performance of the company. Detailed discussions on the financial 
statements were held with the representatives of the management of the company. As part of the review, the committee 
also thoroughly examined the related party transactions that occurred during the reporting period. The committee was fully 
satisfied that the transactions between the related parties were held in the normal course of business and on arm’s length 
basis and adequate disclosure to that effect has been made in the financial statements. No material audit observation 
that warrants the Board’s attention was noted. The Committee therefore, authorized for onward submission of the Audited 
Financial Statements to the Board for approval.

The committee held three other meetings wherein the interim  financial reports of the company were reviewed prior to their 
onward submission to the board for approval. In each of the cases the committee held detailed discussion with the senior 
management on various aspects of the financial statements to ensure accuracy, consistency and compliance of the reports 
in all material respects.

(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 
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 Profit 
or Loss and Other 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 25%.

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.   

3.10  

3.11  

3.12 

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.

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. 

Though no valuation was done to quantify actuarial liabilities as per the IAS 19: Employee Benefits, such valuation in 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 and Welfare Funds
This represents 5% of net profit before tax contributed by the company as per provisions of the Bangladesh Labor 
(amendment) Act 2013 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 is not accounted for but disclosed in the notes to the accounts in accordance with the 
requirements of the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 1: Presentation of Financial Statements. Also the proposed 
dividend is not considered as liability in accordance with the requirement 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  by  dividing  the  basic 
earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 

Current year (July 2016 to June 2017)

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

Earlier Periods

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 periods reported ,and 
accordingly, in calculating the adjusted EPS of earlier periods, the total number of shares including the subsequent 
bonus issued in current year has been considered as the Weighted Average number of Shares outstanding during the  
earlier periods. The basis of computation of number of shares as stated above is in line with the provisions of IAS 33: 
Earnings 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.

48.   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

48.01 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 30 June 2017 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.

48.02 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 both 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.

48.03 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. The company 
have received foreign currency loan which shall be repaid in foreign currency. 

(b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that arises due to changes in interest rates on borrowing. The foreign currency loan 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.
