Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and exporter of medicines in Bangladesh. Incorporated in 1976, the 
company started its operation by importing products from Bayer, Germany and Upjohn, USA and selling them in the local market. 
In 1980 Beximco began manufacturing of these products under licensing arrangement and launched its own formulation brands 
in  1983.  From  that  humble  beginning,  Beximco  Pharma  has  grown  from  strength  to  strength,  and  today  it  has  become  an 
emerging global generic drug company from the region. Beximco’s manufacturing facilities have been accredited by the leading 
global regulatory authorities, and medicines manufactured by the company are now being exported to more than 50 countries 
including the highly regulated markets of USA, Europe, Canada and Australia. The Company has won the National Export (Gold) 
trophy for 5 times and remains the only company in the country to win the highly prestigious SCRIP Award as the Best Pharma 
Company in an Emerging Market. It also has the unique distinction as the only Bangladeshi company listed on the AIM of London 
Stock  Exchange.  Beximco  Pharma  also  has  a  majority  stake  in  Nuvista  Pharma  (formerly  Organon  Bangladesh),  a  leading

Gender Diversity

We pursue equal opportunity policy for all of our employees 
working  throughout  the  organization.  The  Company’s 
employment  and  recruitment  policy  does  not  contain 
any  discriminative  provision  with  respect  gender,  religion 
or  caste,  rather  where  male  and  female  are  found  to  be 
equally  qualified,  female  candidate  gets  the  preference. 
Employment  of  female  workers  in  the  industry  is  low 
due  to  country’s  socio-economic  and  cultural  factors.

the production plant run exclusively by female workers. We 
have a number of female employees who are working in 
managerial  positions  and  leadership  roles,  three  of  them 
promoted in the year under review. The number of female in 
our 16 member Management Committee has risen to three 
from previous two. Female employment in the Company is 

gradually rising.

Environment, Health and Safety 

We  are  well  aware  of  our  responsibilities  to  protect  our 
environment  and  to  promote  a  sustainable  eco-friendly 
operations. We consciously select technology that is friendly 
to the environment and comply with the environmental codes. 
Our production process is designed with plant having modern 
state  of  art  technology. We  have  created  adequate  facilities 
and employed appropriate process to keep the environmental 
effects  of  the  manufacturing  activities  to  a  practicable 
minimum level. 

We are also committed to provide a safe and healthy working 
environment  to  ensure  health  and  safety  of  our  employees, 
contractors,  visitors  and  neighbors  who  may  be  affected  by 
our operations.

We  identify  and  control  all  foreseeable  hazards  to  life, 
property  or  environment.  We  ensure  that  gaseous  emission 
and liquid or solid wastes from our operations are minimized, 
controlled and disposed of by the best practicable means. As a 
commitment to protect the health and environment, Beximco 
Pharma has already implemented proper Occupational Health 
and Industrial Hygiene and Effluent Management System in its 
manufacturing site.

Management of Solid Wastes
The  solid  wastes  generated  from  pharmaceutical  operation 
may have degrading effect on the environment and ecological 
system.  Our  solid  wastes  are  managed  adequately  to 
comply with the environmental regulations. The entire waste 
management is handled with the Best Available Technologies 
(BAT)  that  include  incineration  plant,  dust  control  units 
and  scrubber  to  ensure  zero  discharge  of  solid  waste  that 
may  harm  the  surrounding  ecological  system.  Beximco  has 
installed one of the largest incinerators having capacity 250kg/
hr. depending on calorific value of the products. Materials are 
burned in the primary chamber at 8000 C. Gaseous emissions 
evolved  from  the  chemicals  are  burned  in  the  secondary 
chamber at 12000 to 14000 C. Retention time in the  second 
chamber is 2 seconds. Different parameters of the gas finally 
generated  from  the  incinerator  are  well  within  acceptable 
limit. As per international guideline, the height of the chimney 
is more than 30 meter. 

Management of Liquid Wastes and Gaseous 
Emissions
The liquid wastes are produced from the operation of factory. 
A considerable amount of waste water is generated in factory 
premises, which are mainly from washing of machineries and 
utensils, floors  empty bottles etc., The other source of liquid 
waste  consists  of  dissolved  and  suspended  API,  excipients, 
laboratory re-agents; water from cooling tower.

Beximco Pharma has proper control on the waste generated 
from  the  plant.  We  have  the  largest  waste  water  treatment 
plant  at  our  factory.  No  toxic  wastes  water  are  discharged 
into the open land or surface water bodies without treatment. 
About 50% of this water is recycled and used for gardening, 
car washing and water scrubber of incinerator. Settled sludge 
is  incinerated.  The  Chemical  Oxygen  Demand  (COD)  and 
Biological  Oxygen  Demand  (BOD)  of  the  released  water  are 
well  within  the  national  limit.  The  quality  of  treated  water 
complies with the requirements of DoE.

All equipment are provided with efficient filters in the exhaust 
to confine dust particles and controlled by Building Automation 
System  (BAS).  Also  certain  areas  contain  High  Efficiency 
Particulate Aid  Filter  (HEPA)  and  proper  scrubber  for  further 
protection  of  the  environment.  The  collected  dust  particles 
from  filters  are  then  incinerated.  Gaseous  products  such  as 
SO2, NO2, NO etc. in the surrounding areas are monitored and 
kept within normal level.

Management of Noise, Odor and Vibration
Noise  and  certain  vibrations  commonly  produced  by  the 
electromechanical  equipment  may  affect  workers  and  the 
environment at the vicinity.

The noise requires no mitigation step as the factory is located 
in  a  non-residential/commercial  area  falling  under ‘Ga’  area 
(mixed) as per standard. The machineries are low noise type 
and hence has very insignificant effect. The working personnel 
inside  the  plant  are  provided  with  Personal  Protective 
Equipment  (PPE).  Vibration  problems  are  mitigated  as  the 
reactors are located at a proper distance from the boundary 
level. There is no major odor problem as the factory premises

A S F Rahman
Chairman

Dear Shareholders,
Beximco  Pharma  concluded  another  year  of  excellent 
performance. We continued our growth momentum, meeting 
sales and profit targets and achieving remarkable success in 
consistent pursuit of our strategic objectives. We expanded our 
domestic market at a pace ahead of the industry, accelerated 
growth in our export business, consolidated overseas markets, 
enriched and diversified our product portfolio, enhanced our 
manufacturing capabilities and made significant progress with 
our R&D initiatives.

As  testament  to  this  success,  we  received  a  number  of 
awards  from  national  and  international  organizations  for 
our  achievement  in  diversified  fields  including  innovation, 
productivity and community services. We became Company of 
the Year, Asia Pacific, winning Global Generics and Biosimilar 
Award  2019.    All  these  acknowledgements  demonstrate 
our  commitment  to  achieving  excellence  in  the  complete 
continuum of our business operations. 

52 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Chairman’s Statement 

In  April  2018,  we  completed  a  milestone  event  through  the 
acquisition  of  Nuvista  Pharma  to  supplement  our  organic 
growth  in  the  domestic  market.  During  the  year,  we 
successfully completed the integration of Nuvista to fully realize 
synergies, restructured its business and operating models to 
make them aligned to Beximco Pharma’s winning strategies, 
introduced standardized operating policies and procedure and 
implemented several strategic initiatives to further expand and 
grow  this  important  new  subsidiary.  We  have  already  seen 
the benefit of our efforts and I remain confident of Nuvista’s 
success as it continues to add further value to our business. 

This  year  the  Board  has  constituted  a  Nomination  and 
Remuneration  Committee.  Advocate  Shah  Monjurul  Hoque, 
an  Independent  Director,  has  been  appointed  as  Chairman 
of  the  Committee.  The  Committee  will  have  a  significant 
role in assisting the Board in the nomination and selection of 
directors and adopting a policy driven approach to determine 
remuneration of the Board and top level executives. 

I  continue  to  be  immensely  impressed  with  the  dedication, 
commitment and skills of our people. It is their efforts that drive 
the business forward, delivering an excellent performance and 
strong growth across our business. I thankfully acknowledge 
their  contribution  to  the  company.  We  are  also  grateful  to 
our  shareholders  for  extending,  at  all  times,  their  invaluable 
support  to  the  company,  enabling  the  business  to  be  in  the 
robust position it is in today. The success we have achieved is 
only possible because of the collective efforts of all concerned. 

I  hope  2019-20  will  continue  to  be  another  good  year  for 
Beximco  Pharma.  I  remain  confident  that  we  are  taking  the 
right  actions  to  continue  to  grow  the  business  and  deliver 
value for our shareholders. Thank you for your continued trust 
in us. 

Thanking you

A S F Rahman

Chairman’s Statement | Annual Report 2018-19 | 53 

Management Discussion and Analysis

spending on medicines reached $1.2 trillion in 2018 and is set 
to exceed $1.5 trillion by 2023. In the next five years, more than 
$100 billion worth of originator drugs will be coming off patent 
and the biosimilar market will be nearly three times larger than 
what it is today, with several key blockbuster biologics losing 
their patent protection. This creates immense opportunities for 
generic  manufacturers,  which  Beximco  Pharma  can  benefit 
from  if  we  can  properly  utilize  our  competitive  advantages. 
The  country’s  pharma  sector  has  huge  export  potential  and 
the  government  has  taken  various  initiatives  to  support  the 
industry  in  realizing  this  potential.  Pharma  export  from  the 
country  increased  by  25.60%  to  $130  million  in  2018-19, 
which was $103.46 million in the previous year. 

Although  our  pharma  industry  has  made  commendable 
progress over the years, still we are  almost entirely dependent 
on  the  import  of  pharmaceutical  raw  materials  or  APIs.  
Generic drug manufacturers around the world, including India, 
are heavily dependent on APIs and intermediates from China.  
Since  2018,  hundreds  of  bulk  drug  factories  in  China  have 
been shut down due to new environmental regulations. This 
led to shortage of API supply globally and a surge in API prices 
across  different  categories  pushing  up  the  cost  of  pharma 
production.  The  Bangladesh  pharma  industry  has  also  been 
hit by this disruption in API supply. 

As  a  part  of  the  government’s  initiative  to  further  develop 
the  pharmaceutical  sector  through  backward  integration, 
an  attractive  incentive  package  has  been  declared  for  the 
domestic manufacture of APIs. A 10% cash incentive is already 
being  offered  to  formulation  exporters.  The  development  of 
relevant  infrastructure  in  the  country’s  much  awaited  API 
Industrial Park is in progress and companies who have been 
allotted plots, are preparing to set up manufacturing facilities. 
Domestic API production would make the pharma sector more 
competitive and help it sustain beyond TRIPS regime.

Operating and Financial Performance

Continued Double Digit Revenue Growth 
Our  consolidated  revenue  in  the  domestic  market  increased 
by an overall 25.1% to reach at Tk. 20,314 million in 2018-19 
compared to Tk. 16,240 million for the year 2017-18. BPL’s 

Nazmul Hassan MP 
Managing Director

Industry Overview
Bangladesh  is  now  home  to  one  of  the  fastest  growing 
economies  in  the  world  with  consistent  growth  in  GDP  and 
per  capita  income  and  remarkable  achievements  in  other 
socio-economic indicators.  According to IQVIA audited data, 
the  Bangladesh  pharma  market  has  maintained  its  double 
digit  growth,  10.64%  in  2018-19,  with  total  sales  reaching 
Tk.  223  (US  $  2.62)  billion.  Improved  access  to  healthcare 
facilities,  health  awareness  of  people,  increasing  coverage 
of  rural  areas,  and  higher  purchasing  power  have  largely 
contributed to this growth. With continued economic progress 
and  exceptional  achievements  in  healthcare,  Bangladesh  is 
projected to maintain this positive momentum in the coming 
years.

The global generics industry is also growing rapidly and this 
will  continue  to  expand  as  countries  around  the  world  are 
promoting the use of generics. As per the IQVIA report, global 

54 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Management Discussion and Analysis

revenue on a standalone basis, grew by 17.3% as compared 
to 10.2% in the prior period. Our constant strategic focus on 
key therapeutic segments, particularly improving product mix 
across the rapidly growing areas, contributed to this growth. 
The first time full year consolidation of our subsidiary, Nuvista 
Pharma, further supplemented the accelerated growth in the 
domestic market.

While we are reinforcing our US position, we are also finalizing 
the  acquisition  of  two  marketing  approvals  in  the  United 
Kingdom,  a  fast-track  precursor  to  enter  into  this  regulated 
market. We received WHO prequalification for Lamivudine 300 
mg tablet, an antiviral product and completed European Union 
Good  Manufacturing  Practice  (GMP)  Audits  by  German  and 
Malta Regulatory Authorities during the year.

We secured a robust 69% growth in export largely driven by 
our sales in the US market. Revenue from export stands at Tk. 
2,502 million as against Tk. 1,477 million of preceding year. 
Export  now  accounts  for  11%  of  our  revenue.  It  is  a  matter 
of pride that Beximco Pharma remains the sole Bangladeshi 
company exporting pharmaceutical products to world’s most 
stringent  and  regulated  market,  the  United  States.  This  is 
yet  another  testament  to  our  manufacturing  excellence  and 
adherence to strict quality policies.

Strengthened Product Portfolio
We introduced 20 products, including four from our subsidiary 
Nuvista  Pharma,  in  the  domestic  market  to  expand  and 
strengthen  our  existing  product  portfolio.  The  year  saw  a 
strong  performance  from  our  leading  brands  across  key 
therapeutic  areas  with  cardiovascular,  respiratory  and  anti-
diabetic posting impressive growth.   

Our newly launched products cover 11 therapeutic segments, 
which  includes  hormones,  oral  contraceptives,  ophthalmic, 
and cardiovascular to name a few. Importantly, we launched 
recombinant human insulin (Gensulin), together with the insulin 
pen (Gensupen), in collaboration with Polish biotech company, 
Bioton S.A, which is a leading global player in human insulin. 

Reinforcing International Market Positions
The  Company  completed  77  registrations  of  50  Products  in 
23  countries  to  further  broaden  and  consolidate  our  export 
markets.  In  February  2019,  we  acquired  8  ANDAs  from 
Sandoz, USA, taking our US portfolio to 15 including 7 in-house 
ANDAs.  There is no doubt our growing presence as a reliable 
manufacturer of quality generics has increased our potential 
for further growth in the regulated markets including the USA. 
We  commenced  export  of  Metformin  Hydrochloride  (500mg 
and 750mg), an anti-diabetic, extended release product to the 
US market; received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 
approval for two cardiovascular drugs (Nadolol and Sotalol AF) 
and  an  anti-allergy  drug  (Cyproheptadine).  In  July  2019,  we 
shipped Nadolol, our fifth product to the US market. 

Profit Growth in Line with Revenue
The Company saw an increase in both pre- and after-tax profit 
consistent with robust growth in sales revenue. Profit before 
tax increased by 17.4% over the last year to reach at Tk. 3,946 
million; profit after tax also grew by 20% to reach Tk. 3,040 
million.

You will find five years’ comparative financial performance in 
the attachment to the Directors’ Report.  

National and International Recognitions  
Being  in  the  knowledge  based  industry  we  know  innovation 
is  the  key  to  drive  differentiation  and  stay  ahead  in  the 
competition.  We  won  the  Bangladesh  Business  Innovation 
Award 2019 in the category of Best Innovation in Health Care. 
This  is  a  recognition  of  our  consistent  effort  to  enrich  our 
portfolio with differentiated products.

We  also  won  Bangladesh’s  National  Productivity and  Quality 
Excellence  Award  2018 
in  recognition  of  outstanding 
contribution  to  high  productivity  and  excellence  in  product 
quality.

We  strive  to  make  a  positive  impact  on  the  lives  of  people 
through our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and that 
includes  our  program  with  globally  renowned  institutes.    It 
was a huge honor to win the ‘Community Partnership of the 
Year’ at the Scrip Awards, presented in London in November 
2018. The Community Partnership Award recognizes pharma 
and biotech companies for the way in which they contribute to 
the wider community. Beximco Pharma and DSM Nutritional 
Products  were awarded  for their partnership  with the Johns 
Hopkins  University  in  supporting  community  nutrition  and 
health research in rural Bangladesh and South Asia.

In November 2019, we won the Global Generics & Biosimilars 
Awards  2019  in  the  category  of  Company  of  the  Year,  Asia 
Pacific, which recognises the efforts made by global generics 
and  biosimilars  sectors,  to  make  affordable  medicines 
available to more patients across the globe.

 Management Discussion and Analysis | Annual Report 2018-19 | 55 

focused  on  achieving  accelerated  growth  in  the  longer  term 
through consolidation of our export business. 

A  robust  product  pipeline  is  crucial  for  sustained  growth  in 
this highly competitive generics landscape, and, keeping that 
in mind, we make consistent investments in R&D with special 
focus  on  developing  specialized,  hi-tech  delivery  systems. 
We  are  stepping  into  new  areas  such  as  complex  generics, 
biosimilars and oncology. 

We  have  given  special  focus  on  strengthening  our  API 
capabilities; two of our small-scale units are now operational 
and producing a few high value, patented APIs. We have taken 
initiative to set up a large scale API production facility in the 
API Park to produce a number of APIs to lower dependence on 
import of these materials.  

Built  over  four  decades,  BPL‘s  reputation  is  founded  on  its 
core values, commitment to excellence and efforts to provide 
improved  access  to  medicines.  Quality  and  compliance  are 
key pillars of our consistent growth story. We are committed to 
manufacture products, which conform to the highest standards 
of quality.   We are also taking several initiatives to optimize 
our internal processes to capture all available synergies and 
improve operational efficiencies.

Looking  ahead,  we  are  committed  to  building  a  promising 
future by creating value for the patients we serve and for our 
shareholders.

Report of the Directors to the Shareholders

I am pleased to place before you the Directors’ Report and the 
Audited Accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June, 
2019 along with the report of the auditors thereon.

General Economic Overview
Bangladesh’s economy in 2018-19 performed exceedingly well 
with a record high 8.1% increase (Source: Asian Development 
Bank) in GDP. The share of the industrial sector in the GDP rose 
to 33.7% with 13% growth over the prior period. The nominal 
per  capita  income  increased  by  9%  to  $1,909.  The  inflation 
rate remained under control at a moderate 6% level. Double 
digit  growth  in  export  earnings,  higher  remittances,  robust 
private consumptions and massive government spending for 
infrastructure contributed to economic progress. Government 
and  other  international  agencies  forecast  a  stable  future 
outlook with economy estimated to be growing by 8% in the 
fiscal year 2019-20. 

The  Pharmaceuticals  sector  within  the  country  continues 
to  benefit  from  the  supportive  policies  of  the  government 
and  country’s  stable  economic  progress.  Demand 
for  
pharmaceutical products in Bangladesh is primarily driven by 
increased individual private spending for health. Bangladesh 
over the years has made a steady economic progress and it 
has  now  set  the  goal  of  being  a  middle  income  country  by 
2021.  Improvement  in  the  standard  of  living,  education  and 
increased health awareness reinforced by added purchasing 
power is expected to trigger the demand for pharmaceuticals 
and  other  healthcare  products  and  services  in  the  coming 
years. 

As  reported  last  year,  the  government  declared  various 
fiscal  and  non-fiscal  incentive  to  encourage  the  domestic 
manufacture  of  Active  Pharmaceuticals 
Ingredients.  An 
attractive  10%  Cash  incentive  on  the  FOB  value  is  also 
available for the export of finished pharmaceuticals products 
subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. 

A  new  VAT  Act  became  effective  from  July  1,  2019.  The 
Act  was  originally  passed  by  the  parliament  a  few  years 
back  but  its  implementation  was  deferred.  With  regard  to 
the  Pharmaceutical  industry,  the  Act  does  not  contain  any  
fundamental  changes  to  the  previous  one  except  some 

automation of the documentations and reporting.

Gross Margin and Profitability 
The  Company  delivered  strong  results  during  2018-19.  Our 
Consolidated Profit from Operation increased by a significant 
25.8%  to  Tk.  5,066  million.  Net  Profit  before  tax  increased 
by  17.4%  and  after  tax  by  20.0%  to  Tk.  3,946  and  3,040 
respectively. The table below provides Y-o-Y sales and profit

to 46.6% from 46.8%. The rises in the prices of materials in 
the  international  markets,  moderate  domestic  inflation  and 
depreciation of Taka against its principal foreign currency US 
dollar has raised the cost of goods sold. These have however, 
been partly neutralized by leverage of higher sales, improved 
product  mix  and  planned  cost  management  initiatives.  All 
these together helped sustain the overall gross margin at this 
level.

The higher use of working capital credit facilities to support 
the business growth resulted in an increase in finance costs. 
Additionally, during the year the Company took a short term 
Time Loan of Tk. 2,600 million for use towards the payment 
of  imported  project  materials  for  various  projects  under 
implementation. We repaid Tk. 1,800 million of the borrowings 
during the post-balance sheet period. 

The  Company  has  modified  its  gratuity  policy,  a  long  term 
deferred  employee  benefit  plan,  to  make  it  compliant  to 
the  changes  made  through  the  Labor  Act.  This  required  an 
additional  provisioning  of Tk.  125  million  during  the  current 
period to make up the shortfalls in the accumulated gratuity 
provisions. Despite this, the Company maintained its operating 
expenses at its current 24% level.

Comment on Continuity of Other Income
The  government  has  declared  10%  cash  incentives  on  the 
FOB value of finished pharmaceuticals subject to fulfillment of 
certain conditions. Additionally, we have royalty income from 
the  sale  of  few  selected  products  in  the  overseas  markets. 
These are accounted for on an accrual basis and reported as 
“Other Income”. Both the income are linked to export. While 
we expect these income to continue in the future periods, the 
amounts are however, variable on products, markets and other 
factors.

reported to the Board. Based on the nature and extent of the 
risk, the senior management of the Company takes appropriate 
mitigating  measures  to  avoid,  eliminate  or  reduce  risks  at 
functional, business and corporate level on a regular basis to 
safeguard the Company’s assets and to protect shareholders’ 
interests. 

Changing Economic Conditions 
Economic  advancement  and  consequent  increase  in  the 
purchasing power of the people has direct implication on the 
demand for pharmaceutical products. Any decline in economic 
growth  could,  as  for  any  other  industry,  impact  the  future 
demand  for  pharmaceutical  products.  Bangladesh  however, 
maintained a steady economic progress over the years with 
substantial  uplift  in  all  socio-economic  indexes  and  it  is 
anticipated that the trend will continue in the immediate future. 

Market Risk 
The Company operates in a competitive domestic market. The 
domestic market is exposed with over 400 local manufacturers 
operating  in  the  industry.  However,  only  a  small  number  of 
these  have  the  potential  to  compete  directly  with  BPL  in  its 
domestic market. BPL continuously expands and diversify its 
product portfolio and builds competencies to compete with the 
operators on price and quality both locally and internationally. 
Retention  and  expansion  of  the  existing  market  share  of 
different therapeutics categories and addition of new products 
in line with the changing demand of the market are the key 
to  achieve  the  desired  revenue  and  profit  targets.  Beximco 
Pharma  has  talented  marketing  and  sales  team  and  strong 
R&D with a proven record of success.  

During the year, no interim dividend including stock dividend 
has been declared or paid by the Company.

Risks and Concerns
Organizations  are  not  free  from  risks  that  might  arise  both 
from  internal  and  external  fronts.  Like  any  other  business 
or  industry,  Beximco  Pharma  operating  in  a  dynamic  and 
competitive  market  is  exposed  to  risks  that  may  affect  its 
business. The senior management of the Company oversees 
risk management processes on a continual basis. Management 
of  risks  involves  identification  and  assessment  of  risks; 
setting standard on Company’s risk appetite; and designing, 
implementing and monitoring policies to appropriately address 
various financial and non-financial risks. The identified risks, 
which  could  potentially  affect  the  achievement  of  strategic, 
operational,  financial  and/or  compliance  objectives,  are 

Input Prices and Supply Chain Risk
As with other pharmaceutical companies of the country, BPL is 
largely dependent on imported APIs. Any substantial increase in 
prices in the international market may affect future profitability 
of  the  company.  To  mitigate  the  risk,  Beximco  Pharma 
imports raw materials from multiple sources, both local and 
international, at competitive prices. The Company is not reliant 
on  any  single  supplier  for  its  materials  and  this  therefore, 
reduces  the  individual  supplier’s  influence  on  procurement 
prices.  Most  of  the  suppliers  have  their  local  agent  and  the 
Company  maintains  close  relationship  with  them.  Moreover, 
BPL manufactures few of the APIs and has plan to expand the 
API manufacturing facilities to further strengthen its backward 
linkage. 

The  Company’s  customer  base  is  also  well  diversified.  No

single customer or market has significant influence on demand 
for Company’s products. 

Product Liability Risk 
Pharmaceutical products are usually exposed to high quality 
control risk. Each product is required to be marketed through 
a stringent compliance procedure. Manufacturing of products 
require the flexibility to accommodate the changing local and 
global regulatory needs. Any deviation from the standard may 
result  in  serious  market  reputational  damages  and  might 
also  create  a  regulatory  barrier.  Over  the  years  BPL  has 
been  recognized  locally  and  globally  for  quality  standards 
and  manufacturing  excellence.    Our  manufacturing  facilities 
are  certified  by  leading  global  regulatory  agencies. As  such 
Beximco  Pharma  is  exposed  to  less  quality  control  risk. 
Additionally,  the  Company  has  taken  adequate  insurance 
cover to minimize the product liability risk.

Technology Risk 
The  pharmaceutical  industry  is  a  technology  and  research 
driven  industry.  The  company’s  management  values  data 
technological 
security,  automation  of  operations  and 
therefore 
advancement 
continues  to  invest  in  state-of-the-art  technologies,  R&D 
and  laboratory  infrastructure  to  build  its  manufacturing  and 
innovation  capabilities.  It  maintains  close  ties  with  leading 
global companies and organizations to remain updated on the 
changes taking place in the industry.

Regulatory Risk
Uncertainties  emanating  from  significant  changes  in  the 
pharmaceutical  policy,  regulations,  tax  regime  or  other 
business laws having bearing on pharmaceutical sector may 
also threaten the growth potential of this business. However, 
policies of the Government of Bangladesh are supportive to the 
industry and pose no immediate risk. Rather the government 
has declared a number of financial and non-financial facilities 
for the industry to help its growth.

Report of the Audit Committee

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), dated June 03, 2018.The principal purpose 
of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in effective fulfillment of its oversight responsibilities. The Committee has distinct 
terms of reference (TOR) developed conforming to the Code of Corporate Governance issued by the BSEC which includes but not 
confined to overseeing the financial reporting process, monitoring accounting policies and principles, evaluating internal control 
system, reviewing the statement of significant related party transactions, assessing potential conflict of interests and reviewing 
the  financial  statements  of  subsidiary  company.  This  report  is  a  brief  on  the  activities  performed  by  the  Audit  Committee 
throughout the year. 

Review of Financial Statements 
The Audit Committee in its meeting held on 23 October 2019 reviewed along with management, the financial statements and 
the report of the auditors of the company and its subsidiaries for the year ending on June 30, 2019. During the meeting Mr. 
Mohammad Ali Nawaz, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company presented the annual accounts along with the independent 
auditors report to the committee. Detailed discussions on the financial statements were held with the representatives of the 
management of the Company. The CFO briefed the Committee that the consolidated as well as standalone financial statements 
have been prepared in compliance with IFRS/IAS. He appraised the Committee that the accounting policies applied in preparation 
of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial years and are within the framework of international 
accounting standards and practices. The Committee reviewed the significant estimates and judgements made in preparation of 
the accounts and looked into their prudence and justification. They also evaluated the compliance of the financial statements to 
the disclosure requirements as per IFRS/IAS and other regulatory authorities including BSEC. They further discussed the financial 
reporting process and the adequacy of the internal control system of the company in place, to prevent errors and fraudulent 
activities. 

The Committee carefully examined the related party transactions carried out among different associated companies including 
the subsidiary. The committee was well satisfied that the related party transactions were made on an arm’s length basis in the 
normal course of business and the transactions have been appropriately disclosed in the financial statements as per IAS 24: 
‘Related Party Disclosures’. The independent auditors’ report also did not contain any material audit observation that called 
for the boards’ consideration. The committee being satisfied authorized for onward submission of the annual audited financial 
statements to the Board for approval. 

Additionally, during the year the Committee met three other occasions to review among others, the interim un-audited financial 
statements  issued  by  the  company  at  quarter  ends.  In  each  instance,  the  committee  held  detailed  discussions  with  senior 
management on different aspects of the financial statements to ensure accuracy, consistency and compliance of the reports in 
all material aspects. The Committee also considered the related party transactions and found that all related party transactions 
were made on an arm’s length basis. In reliance to the reviews and considerations of the Audit Committee, the Board in each 
case approved the financial statements including the annual audited financial statements for release to the shareholders. 

Meetings and Attendance 
The Audit Committee held four meetings to carry out its business under the ToR during the year. The membership of the Audit

and  enhance  the  interests  of  the  shareholders  and  other 
stakeholders.

supervision  of  the  day  to  day  affairs  of  the  Company.  The

Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries
Consolidated Audited Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2019

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of 
Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited and its Subsidiaries

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Opinion 
We  have  audited  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Beximco  Pharmaceuticals  Limited  (the  “Company”),  which  comprise  the 
consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at June 30, 2019 and consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income, consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and consolidated Statement of Cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 
consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 

The Financial statements of the same year of the subsidiaries Beximco Pharma API Limited was audited by us and Nuvista Pharma Limited 
was audited by A. Qasem & Co. Chartered Accountants, who through their report dated August 11, 2019 and October 14, 2019 respectively 
expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial 
position of the Company as at June 30, 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year 
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange 
Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations.

Basis for Opinion 
We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  International  Standards  on Auditing  (ISAs).  Our  responsibilities  under  those  standards  are 
further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the 
Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA
Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh, and we have fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we 
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial 
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a 
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Risk

Our Response to the Risk

Valuation of Property, Plant and  Equipment (PPE)

The carrying value of the PPE was Tk. 34,056,667,212 as at June 
30, 2019. 
Expenditures are capitalized if they create new assets or enhance the 
existing assets, and expensed if they relate to repair or maintenance 
of the assets. Classification of the expenditures involves judgment. 
The useful lives of PPE items are based on management’s estimates 
regarding  the  period  during  which  the  assets  or  its  significant 
components  will  be  used.  The  estimates  are  based  on  historical 
experience  and  market  practice  and  take  into  consideration  the 
physical condition of the assets.

The valuation of PPE was identified as a key audit matter due to the 
significance of this balance to the consolidated financial statements 
and  that  there  is  significant  measurement  uncertainty  involved  in 
this valuation.

See Note No. 4 to the consolidated financial statements

Our audit included the following procedure: 

•  We  assessed  whether  the  accounting  policies  in  relation  to  the 
capitalization  of  expenditures  are  in  compliance  with  IFRS  and 
found them to be consistent. 

•  We  inspected  a  sample  of  invoices  and  L/C  documents  to 
determine whether the classification between capital and revenue 
expenditure was appropriate.  

•  We evaluated whether the useful lives determined and applied  by 
the management were in line with historical experience and the 
market practice.

We checked whether the depreciation of PPE items was commenced 
timely,  by  comparing  the  date  of  the  reclassification  from  capital 
work  in  progress  to  ready  for  use,  with  the  date  of  the  act  of 
completion of the work.

Risk

Our Response to the Risk

Valuation of Inventory

The inventory of Tk. 5,924,031,678 as at June 30, 2019 was held 
at different locations across the country.

We  verified  the  appropriateness  of  management’s  assumptions 
applied in calculating the value of the inventory by:

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. 
As  a  result,  the  management  apply  judgment  in  determining  the 
appropriate values for slow-moving or obsolete items.

Since  the  value  of  Inventory  is  significant  to  the  consolidated 
Financial  Statements  and  there  is  significant  measurement 
uncertainty  involved  in  this  valuation,  the  valuation  of  inventory 
was significant to our audit.

See Note No. 9 to the consolidated financial statements

  Evaluating  the  design  and  implementation  of  key  inventory 
controls.

 Attending inventory counts on sample basis and reconciling the 
count results to the inventory listing to test the completeness of 
data.

 Reviewing the requirement of inventory provisioning and action 
there upon by the management.

 Comparing the net realizable value obtained through a detailed 
review of sales subsequent to the year-end, to the cost price of 
a sample of inventories. 

Related party transactions

The Company has related party transactions as described in Note 
No. 36 of the consolidated financial statements.

We  focused  on  identification  of  related  parties  and  disclosure  of 
related party transactions in accordance with relevant accounting 
standards.

Our audit procedures amongst others included the following:

  Evaluated  the  design  and  tested  the  operating  effectiveness 
of  controls  over  identification  and  disclosure  of  related  party 
transactions.

 Evaluated the transactions among the related parties and tested 
material accounts balances.

 Evaluated the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements 
in compliance with IAS 24.

Other Information 
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than 
the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the 
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance 
conclusion thereon. 

In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other  information  identified  above 
when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial 
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If, based on such work we perform, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to communicate 
the matter to those charged with governance. 

Responsibilities   of   Management   and   Those   Charged   with   Governance   for   the consolidated Financial Statements 
and Internal Controls 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance 
with IFRSs, The Companies Act 1994, The Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal 
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going

concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management 
either intends to liquidate the Company to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of 
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected 
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 
We also: 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and 
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may 
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•   Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 

but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of the Company. 

• 

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made 
by management. 

•    Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, 
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue 
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company 
to cease to continue as a going concern. 

•   Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 

consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

• 

 Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company 
to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and  timing  of  the  audit  and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We  also  provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the 
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 
auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine 
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to 
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

90 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements-Consolidated

 
2.2 Basis of Measurement
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  Historical  Cost  basis  except  for  certain  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment  measured  at 
revalued amount (revaluation carried out in 2008). The Tangible and Intangible Assets and Liabilities of the acquired subsidiary has been

Limited begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.

2.4 Comparative Information
Figures for earlier year have been re-arranged wherever considered necessary to ensure better comparability with the current year. 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

3.1 Basis of Consolidation
The financial statements of the subsidiaries-Nuvista Pharma Limited and Beximco Pharma API Limited, have been consolidated with those 
of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited in accordance with IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company acquired 85.22% shares of the issued paid up capital of Nuvista Pharma Limited. This ownership interest is adequate enough 
to establish control over NPL and thus BPL meets the conditions as stated in IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements to consider 
NPL as a subsidiary. 

Beximco Pharma API Limited (BPAL) was formed with a paid up capital of Tk.20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000 shares of Tk.10 each, all 
of which excepting 10 shares are held by Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd (BPL). Beximco Pharma API Ltd thus meets the conditions stated 
in IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements to consider it as a subsidiary.

Beximco Pharma API Limited (BPAL) is being consolidated for the first time in this financial statement since its date of incorporation. 

3.2 Inter-Company Transactions 
Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income, Expenses and Cash Flows arising out of transactions between the Company and the subsidiary have been 
eliminated in full in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

3.3 Non-Controlling Interests (NCIs)
Non-Controlling Interests (NCIs) at the date of acquisition has been measured at fair value of the net assets of the acquired company in 
proportion to the shares of the entitled holders. Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income subsequent to the acquisition has been 
allocated to the Owners of the Company and to the NCIs and also disclosed in the financial statements. 

3.4 Valuation of Goodwill
Goodwill has been determined in accordance with IFRS 3: Business Combination. This represents the excess of the aggregate of Purchase 
Consideration and the acquisition-date fair value of NCI’s share in the net assets over the acquisition-date fair value of the net assets of

Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited 
Audited Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2019

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the Statement of Financial 
Position as at 30 June 2019 and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement 
of Cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Company give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 
30 June 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRSs), the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further 
described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in 
accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together 
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh, and we have fulfilled our other ethical 
responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of 
the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion 
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Risk

Our response to the risk

    Valuation of Property, Plant and  Equipment (PPE)

The  carrying  value  of  the  PPE  was Tk.  32,209,440,044  as  at 
30 June, 2019.

Our audit included the following procedure: 

Expenditures  are  capitalized  if  they  create  new  assets  or 
enhance the existing assets, and expensed if they relate to repair 
or maintenance of the assets. Classification of the expenditures 
involves judgment. The useful lives of PPE items are based on 
management’s estimates regarding the period during which the 
assets or its significant components will be used. The estimates 
are  based  on  historical  experience  and  market  practice  and 
take into consideration the physical condition of the assets.

•  We  assessed  whether  the  accounting  policies  in  relation  to  the 
capitalization of expenditures are in compliance with IFRS and found 
them to be consistent. 
•  We inspected a sample of invoices and L/C documents to determine 
whether the classification between capital and revenue expenditure 
was appropriate.  
•W e evaluated whether the useful lives determined and applied by the 
management were in line with historical experience and the market 
practice. 

The valuation of PPE was identified as a key audit matter due 
to the significance of this balance to the financial statements 
and that there is significant measurement uncertainty involved 
in this valuation.

We checked whether the depreciation of PPE items was commenced 
timely, by comparing the date of the reclassification from capital work 
in progress to ready for use, with the date of the act of completion of 
the work.

Risk

Our Response to the Risk

     Valuation of Inventory

The inventory of Tk. 5,573,549,171 as at 30 June, 2019 was held 
at different locations across the country.

Inventories  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realizable 
value. As a result, the management apply judgment in determining 
the appropriate values for slow-moving or obsolete items.

Since  the  value  of  Inventory  is  significant  to  the  Financial 
Statements  and  there  is  significant  measurement  uncertainty 
involved  in  this  valuation,  the  valuation  of  inventory  was 
significant to our audit.
See Note No. 9 to the financial statements.

We  verified  the  appropriateness  of  management’s  assumptions 
applied in calculating the value of the inventory by:
•  Evaluating  the  design  and  implementation  of  key  inventory 
controls.
•  Attending inventory counts on sample basis and reconciling the 
count results to the inventory listing to test the completeness of 
data.
•  Reviewing the requirement of inventory provisioning and action 
there upon by the management.
•  Comparing the net realizable value obtained through a detailed 
review of sales subsequent to the year-end, to the cost price of a 
sample of inventories. 

    Contingent Liabilities

The Company is subject to a number of claims and litigations. The 
amounts of claims are significant and estimates of the amounts 
of provisions or contingent liabilities are subject to management 
judgement. These claims and regulatory matters are uncertain in 
timing of resolutions and amount or consequences.

These claims and litigation matters were a key audit matter due 
to the amounts involved, potential consequences and the inherent 
difficulty in assessing the outcome. The assessment of whether 
or not a liability should be recognized involves judgement from 
management. 

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested 
the operational effectiveness of the company’s key controls over 
the legal provision and contingency processes.

We  enquired  to  those  charged  with  governance  to  obtain  their 
view on the status of the litigations.
We  enquired  of  the  company’s  internal  legal  counsel  for  the 
litigation  and  inspected  internal  notes  and  reports.  We  also 
reviewed  formal  confirmations  in  this  regard  from  external 
counsel.

We also validated the completeness and appropriateness of the 
related disclosures in Note No. 51 of the financial statements.

    Related party transactions

The Company has related party transactions with its subsidiaries 
and  other  related  parties  as  described  in  Note  No.  40  of  the 
financial statements.

We focused on identification of related parties and disclosure of 
related party transactions in accordance with relevant accounting 
standards.

Our audit procedures amongst others included the following:
•  Evaluated  the  design  and  tested  the  operating  effectiveness 
of  controls  over  identification  and  disclosure  of  related  party 
transactions.

•  Evaluated the transactions among the related parties and tested 
material accounts balances.

•  Evaluated  the  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements  in 
compliance with IAS 24.

Other Information 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the 
financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s 
report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

106 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements-Beximco Pharma Stand-alone

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes 
available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 
If, based on such work we perform, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to communicate 
the matter to those charged with governance. 

Responsibilities   of   Management   and   Those   Charged   with   Governance   for   the Financial Statements and 
Internal Controls 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with IFRSs, 
the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal control as 
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error. 

In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends 
to liquidate the Company to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but 
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 
We also: 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and  perform audit 
• 
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of the Company. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by 
management.

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, 
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as 
a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related 
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue 
as a going concern.

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial 
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and  timing  of  the  audit  and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We  also  provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, related safeguards.

Financial Statements-Beximco Pharma Stand-alone  | Annual Report 2018-19 | 107

  
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit 
of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report 
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the 
public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 
In  accordance  with  the  Companies Act  1994, The  Securities  and  Exchange  Rules  1987  and  relevant  notifications  issued  by  Bangladesh 
Securities and Exchange Commission, we also report that: 

a) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of 

our audit and made due verification thereof;

b) In our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the company so far as it appeared from our examination of 

those books;

c) The company’s Statement of Financial Position (Balance sheet) and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (Profit & 

Loss Account) dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of accounts and;

d) The expenditures incurred and payment made were for the purpose of the company’s business for the year.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting principles and policies in respect of material items of financial statements set out below have been applied consistently to all 
periods presented in these financial statements.

3.1. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In compliance with the requirements of IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue receipts from customers against sales is 
recognized when products are dispatched to customers, that is, when the significant risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred to 
the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is 
no continuing management involvement with the goods.
Revenue from sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of returns and allowances, trade 
discounts, rebates and Value Added Tax (VAT).

3.2. Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E)

3.2.1. Recognition and Measurement
This has been stated at cost or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation in compliance with the requirements of IAS 16: Property, Plant 
and Equipment. The cost of acquisition of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its 
working condition for its intended use inclusive of inward freight, duties and non-refundable taxes.

3.2.2. Maintenance Activities
The company incurs maintenance costs for all its major items of property, plant and equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are charged 
as expenses when incurred.

3.2.3. Depreciation
Depreciation is provided to amortize the cost of the assets after commissioning, over the period of their expected useful lives, in accordance 
with the provisions of IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation is provided at the following rates on reducing balance basis:

Building and Other Construction 
Plant and Machinery 
Furniture & Fixtures 
Transport & Vehicle 
Office Equipment 

2% - 10%
5% - 15%
10%
20%
10% - 15%

3.2.4. Retirements and Disposals
On disposal of fixed assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and gain or loss on such disposal is reflected in the income 
statement, which is determined with reference to the net book value of the assets and net sales proceeds.

3.3. 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 software for internal use are capitalized as intangible fixed assets where the software supports a significant business system and 

114 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements-Beximco Pharma Stand-alone

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.

3.4. Leases
A new Standard IFRS 16: Leases, has been made effective for the reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The new standard has 
introduced a single on-balance sheet lease accounting model for leases and replaces the previously adopted IAS 17: Leases.
The  Company  has  been  consistently  recording  its  underlying  assets  acquired  under  lease  arrangement  as Assets  and  the  corresponding 
obligation as Liabilities in the financial statements. Lease payments made are apportioned between the finance expenses and the reduction 
of outstanding lease liability which are in compliance with IFRS 16, excepting the classification of the leased assets as “Right-of-use assets” 
in the Statement of Financial Position.
The Company has not early adopted IFRS 16 in preparing the financial statements and intends to do so when it becomes effective for the 
Company. This however, has no material impact on the reported financial statements.

3.5. 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.

3.5.1. 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 a price quoted in the stock exchange at year end. Investment in other shares is valued at 
cost.

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
3.6.1. 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.

3.6.2. 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.

Financial Statements-Beximco Pharma Stand-alone  | Annual Report 2018-19 | 115

3.7. 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.

3.8. 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 Taxes.

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%. However, profit generated from export is subject to 
a reduced 12.5% tax. Additionally certain other incomes are also liable to a lower rates which can be found in Note: 34

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). In BPL’s case deferred tax arises due to the 
difference in the carrying amount and the tax base value of the Property, Plant & Equipment and Gratuity provisions. 

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. Other Income

income (Bonus Shares) is not considered as revenue.

fund in accordance with the rules of the provident fund constituted under an irrevocable trust. Employees contribute 10% of their basic salary 
to the provident along with the Company that makes an 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.

3.12.2. 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 is not likely to yield a result significantly different from the current provision.

3.12.3. Contribution to Workers’ Profit Participation and Welfare Funds

at the time of approval of accounts and recommendation of dividend by the Board of Directors.

Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

53. 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

53.01 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 June 30, 2019 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.

53.02 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.

136 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements-Beximco Pharma Stand-alone

 
 
   
53.03 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.

Currency risk

The  company  is  exposed  to  currency  risk  on  export  revenues  and  import  of  raw  material,  machineries  and  equipment.  Majority  of  the 
company’s foreign currency transactions are denominated in USD. Additionally the Company has foreign currency loan which shall be repaid 
in foreign currency. However, The Company maintains an Export Retention Quota (ERQ) account in USD where 50% of the export earnings 
are deposited. This partly contributes to minimize the currency risk associated with payments in foreign currency.  

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that arises due to changes in interest rates on borrowing. An increase in interest rates will result in higher 
borrowing costs and impact the Company’s profitability. The Company continuously monitors and negotiates viable deals to minimize the 
interest rate risk. Further, the company tries to remain at a lower level of gearing to minimize the impact of financing costs. With its strong 
ability to generate cash flows from operating activities, the company tries to pay off its debts on due time to minimize the impact of an 
increase in interest rates. The company has arrangement with banks to transfer the sales proceeds into its overdraft account on a real time 
basis through RTGS system to minimize borrowing cost. 

The foreign currency loan is subject to floating rates of interest. The company has not entered into any type of derivative instrument in order 
to hedge interest rate risk as at the reporting date.

Nuvista Pharma Limited 
Auditor’s Report and Financial Statements
As at and for the year ended 30 June 2019

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Nuvista Pharma Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Nuvista Pharma Limited (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as 
at 30 June 2019, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash 
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2019, 
and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), 
the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further 
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 
in accordance with the ethical requirement that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh, and we have fulfilled our 
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  IFRSs,  and  for 
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends 
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but 
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 
We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform 
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made 
by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, 
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going 
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in 
the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained 
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and  timing  of  the  audit  and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the Companies Act 1994, we also report the following:

(a) we have obtained all the information and explanation which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our 

audit and made due verification thereof;

(b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appeared from our examination of 

those books; and

(c) the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income dealt with by the report are in agreement 

with the books of account.

 Nuvista Pharma Limited 
 Notes to the financial statements 
 As at and for the year ended 30 June 2019 

1. Reporting entity
1.1

Nuvista  Pharma  Limited  (“the  company”)  was  originally  incorporated  as  a  private  limited  company  in  1973  in  Bangladesh 
as  Organon  (Bangladesh)  Limited  under  the  Companies Act  1913. The  company  in  its  extra  ordinary  general  meeting  of  the 
shareholders held on 02 November 2006 changed the name of the company from “Organon (Bangladesh) Limited” to “Nuvista 
Pharma Limited”  which was approved by the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms on 29 November 2006. 

The company in its extra ordinary general meeting held on 05 May 2011 made some amendments to the Memorandum and 
Articles of Association with a view to broadening the objects clause of the company (subsequently approved by the High Court on 
12 October 2011), converting it into a Public Limited company, increasing its authorized capital, complying with the Companies 
Act 1994, and eliminating certain redundant provisions in the Articles of Association of the company consequent upon the transfer 
of Organon International’s shareholding in the Company, which were filed with the  Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms, 
Dhaka. 

On  2nd  April  2018,  Beximco  Pharmaceuticals  Limited  (BPL),  a  public  limited  company  listed  with  Dhaka  Stock  Exchange, 
Chittagong Stock Exchange and AIM of London Stock Exchange has acquired majority shareholdings in Nuvista Pharma Limited 
(NPL) and through this acquisition BPL has become the immediate and ultimate parent of the company. Current shareholding 
comprises 85.22% by BPL, 12.92% by Government of Bangladesh and rest by other local shareholders.

1.2

1.3

2. Basis of preparation
2.1

Statement of compliance

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs),  the 
Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations.

Initial application of new standards

The company has initially applied IFRS 15 (see Note 3.13) and IFRS 9 (see Note 3.10) from 1 July 2018. These two new 
standards do not have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the company in applying these standards, comparative information throughout these 
financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards. 

2.2

Basis of measurement

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis  except  revaluation  of  certain  property,  plant  and 
equipment.

2.3

Functional and presentational currency

These financial statements are prepared in Bangladeshi Taka (Taka/Tk.), which is the company’s functional currency. All financial 
information has been presented in Taka and rounded off to the nearest integer.

148 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements - Nuvista Pharma Limited

2.4

Use of estimates and judgments

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgment,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on going basis.

2.5

Going concern

The company has adequate resources to continue its operation for the foreseeable future. For this reason the directors continue 
to adopt going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The current resources and credit facilities of the company are 
sufficient to meet the present requirements of its existing business. 

2.6

Statement of cash flows

Statement of cash flows has been prepared in accordance with as per IAS 7: “Statement of cash flows” under direct method.

2.7

Reporting period

These financial statements cover one year from  1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

3.

Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

3.1 Shareholders’ capital - paid-up capital

Paid-up capital represents the total amount of shareholders capital that has been paid in full by the ordinary shareholders. Holders 
of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time.

3.2

Lease transactions

All lease transactions have been classified based on the extent to which risks and rewards incident to ownership of leased assets 
lie with the lessor or lessee. According to this classification, all the lease transactions have been identified as finance lease as per 
IAS 17: “Leases”, based on the substance of the transactions not merely the legal form.

Finance lease has been recognised as assets and liabilities in the Statement of financial position at amount equal at the inception 
of lease to the lower of fair value of leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. The interest rate implicit in 
the lease has been used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments.

3.3

Staff gratuity fund

The company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme, provision in respect of which is made annually for all eligible employees. 
Gratuity payable to all eligible employees at the end of each year is determined on the basis of the existing rules and regulations 
of the company.

3.4

Employees provident fund

The  company  subscribes  to  a  contributory  provident  fund  for  its  permanent  employees  which  is  administered  by  a  Board  of 
Trustees.

Financial Statements - Nuvista Pharma Limited | Annual Report 2018-19 | 149

3.5

Property, plant and equipment

3.5.1

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) is recognised as an asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the 
asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets, bringing the assets to the location and condition 
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

3.5.2

Subsequent costs

The costs of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is 
probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the company and its costs can be measured 
reliably. The costs of the day to day servicing of  property, plant and equipment are recognised in the  Statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income as incurred.

3.5.3

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in the  Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the 
estimated useful lives of each item of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is charged 
from the month of acquisition. In case of disposals, depreciation is charged up to the immediate previous month of disposal. 
No depreciation is charged on leasehold land and capital work-in-progress. Depreciation is calculated and charged on all other 
property, plant and equipment at the following rates on cost or valuation, considering the estimated useful lives of the assets:

Factory building and warehouse

Motor cars and vans

Plant, machinery and equipment

Computer and IT equipment

Electric fixtures and fittings

Furniture and fittings 

2.5%

20%-25%

5% -15%

30%

7%

6%

Gain or loss on sale of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the  Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income as per provision of  IAS 16: “Property, plant and equipment”.

3.6

Impairment

3.6.1

Recognition

The carrying value of the company’s assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each Statement of financial position date 
to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  of  impairment.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is 
estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of the asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its 
recoverable amount. Impairment losses, if any, are recognised in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 
For the assets that have indefinite useful life, the recoverable amount is estimated at each Statement of financial position date.

No indication of impairment was observed in the year ended 30 June 2019.

3.6.2

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of net selling price and value in use. The estimated future cash flows are 
discounted to their present value using discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and 
the risk specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate significantly independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount 
is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

150 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements - Nuvista Pharma Limited

3.6.3

Reversal of impairment

An impairment loss recognised in prior periods for an asset shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the 
estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. 

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would 
have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

There was no reversal of impairment in the year ended 30 June 2019.

3.7

Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress represents the cost incurred for acquisition and/or construction of items of property, plant and equipment 
that were not ready for use at the year end and these are stated at cost.

3.8

Taxation

Tax on the  Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax 
is recognised in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items 
recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

3.8.1

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the 
Statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

3.8.2

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for  taxation  purposes.  The  following  temporary  differences  are  not  provided  for:  the  initial 
recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in 
a business combination, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse 
in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of 
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to 
income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which 
the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent 
that is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

3.9

Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, raw materials in transit, work-in-process, finished goods and spare parts. These are valued at 
the lower of cost and net realisable value, with appropriate provisions for obsolete and slow-moving items. Cost is determined 
using the weighted average method and includes all expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and 
condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and 
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

3.10

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell 
non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

There was no material impact of adopting IFRS 9 on the company’s statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 and its 
statement of profit or loss and OCI for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended. 

Financial Statements - Nuvista Pharma Limited | Annual Report 2018-19 | 151

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, FVOCI and FVTPL. The 
classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed 
and its contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and 
receivables and available for sale.

IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the company’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities.

3.11

Foreign currency

3.11.1

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are converted into equivalent Taka at the ruling exchange rates on the respective dates of such 
transactions and subsequently retranslated using the rate at the date of settlement.

3.11.2

Foreign currency translations

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies  have been converted into Taka at the exchange rate ruling at 
the year end. 

3.11.3

Translation gains and losses

Foreign exchange difference arising on translation are recognised in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income.

3.12

Provisions

A provision is recognised in the Statement of financial position when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a 
result of past events, and 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.

3.13

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced IAS 
18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains 
control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control–at a point in time or over time–requires judgement. 

The  company  has  adopted  IFRS  15  using  the  cumulative  effect  method  (without  practical  expedients),  with  the  effect 
of  initially  applying  this  standard  recognised  at  the  date  of  initial  application  (i.e.  1  July  2018). Accordingly,  the  information 
presented  for  2017-18  has  not  been  restated–i.e.  it  is  presented,  as  previously  reported,  under  IAS  18  and  related 
interpretations. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 15 have not generally been applied to comparative information. 

There was no material impact of adopting IFRS 15 on the Company’s statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 and its 
statement of profit or loss and OCI for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended. 

3.14

Interest expenses

Interest expense comprises interest expense on overdraft, import loan, demand loan, finance lease and term loan. All interest 
expenses are recognised in the  Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when it accrues.

3.15

Workers’ Profit Participation Fund (WPPF)

The company provides 5% of its net profit before tax after charging such expense as WPPF in accordance with Bangladesh Labour 
Act 2006.

152 | Annual Report 2018-19 | Financial Statements - Nuvista Pharma Limited

 
 
3.16

Standards adopted but not yet effective-IFRS 16: Leases

A new Standard IFRS 16: Leases, has been made effective for the reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The 
new standard has introduced a single on-balance sheet lease accounting model for leases and replaces the previously adopted 
IAS 17: Leases. 

The  Company  has  been  consistently  recording  its  underlying  assets  acquired  under  lease  arrangement  as  Assets  and  the

Beximco Pharma API Limited 
Audited Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2019

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Shareholders of Beximco Pharma API Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Beximco Pharma API Limited, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2019, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at June 30 2019, 
and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), 
the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further 
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. 

We  are  independent  of  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  International  Ethics  Standards  Board  for  Accountants’  Code  of  Ethics  for 
Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we 
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA code. We believe that the audit evidence 
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with, International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the Companies Act 1994, other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal control as management 
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error.

In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends 
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but 
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decision of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional Skepticism throughout the
audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform 
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidences that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for audit 
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may 
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 
circumstances.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures 
made by management.

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  management’s  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and  based  on  the  audit 
evidences  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt

on  the  company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to 
draw  attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements  or,  if  such  disclosures  are 
inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit  evidences  obtained  up  to  the  date  of  our 
auditor’s  report.  However,  future  events  or  conditions  may  cause  the  Company  to  cease  to  continue  as  a  going  concern. 

Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  statements,  including  the  disclosures,  and  whether  the 
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the business activities of the company to express an 
opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion.

We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and  timing  of  the  audit  and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, related safeguards.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations, we also report that:

(a) We have obtained all the information and explanation which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose 

of our audit and made due verification thereof;

(b)  In  our  opinion,  proper  books  of  account  as  required  by  law  have  been  kept  by  the  Company  so  far  as  it  appeared  from  our 

examination of those books; and
