20 RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT PERCEPTIONS Investment in proposed Convertible Zero Coupon Bond carries fixed return as well as possible capital gain from conversion into shares. Share/Bond market involves risk and investors should carefully consider all the risks and uncertainties associated to the company along with the information provided in the prospectus before taking decision to invest in the Zero Coupon Bonds of Advanced Chemical Industries Limited. The following are the major risk factors considered by the management as of now to the company and its business: Interest rate risk Major source of fund for operation of the company and its subsidiaries are the banks and financial institutions which carries interest based on domestic money market. In case of any volatility in the money market the financial expenses may increase significantly which will ultimately reduce the profitability of the company. Management Perception The management is aware of the impact of high financial expenses and continuously exploring attractive and competitive sources of fund. As a part of this initiative the management approved the issue of ZCB to the public for the first time in the history of Bangladesh capital market. Project funding cost of the initiatives considered here are expected to considerably come down due to issue of zero coupon bonds. Currently discount rate of the bond is fixed and comparatively lower than the current borrowing rate. So the raising of finance through issuance of ZCB is favorable for the company under the current situation. Exchange rate risk The project may face some degree of foreign exchange rate fluctuation risk as the Company imports raw materials against payment of foreign currency. Management Perception: The risk of foreign exchange cannot be eliminated fully as we require importing raw materials. However the management is always alert in minimizing the negative impact of currency fluctuation cost by looking for new sources of raw materials or constantly negotiating with suppliers in reducing price. Moreover, the company is fully aware of the risks related to currency fluctuation and as a prudent Company it always takes steps to hedge all major currency dealings to safeguard the interest of the Company. The risk can be mitigated to some extent through exporting a portion of its production which will neutralize negative impact of currency fluctuation. Industry risk Competition may increase in the pharmaceutical sector due to entrant of new companies which may ultimately reduce the market share as well as profitability of the company. Management Perception: Bangladesh is a developing country where access to healthcare and per capita drug consumption is one of the lowest in the world. With the growth of per capita income demand of the medicines are growing fast. The company is also introducing new drugs to take advantage of the growing demand and change in disease pattern. Moreover, in addition to pharmaceutical business, ACI has other successful business interest in consumer brand and agricultural sector which will continue to generate revenue. Environmentalists are likely to create pressure on Government for banning use of chemicals for its negative effects on living beings thereby causing closure of business by the Company. Management Perception The company is always careful in compliance of Government Regulations regarding use of chemicals. The main goal of ACI is to make the country self sufficient in health, agriculture and other sectors. ACI 20% Convertible Zero Coupon Bonds

21 Market & Technology related risk ACI s healthcare and agro based products are based on latest technological developments and marketed for the domestic consumers. With the shrinkage of domestic demand as well as introduction of latest technology in products by its competitors, the company may witness reduction of sales as well as profitability. Management Perception Company owns modern technology with R&D infrastructure and shall be able to adapt to any new inventions with moderate investments as it has been doing in the past. Moreover the management is always updated through participation in international fair, symposium, market study etc. about its competitors, growing competition and technological developments. To retain existing market as well as to enter into new segments of the market, the management always takes necessary steps. Potential or existing Government regulations Government has given very high priority to the development of healthcare and agricultural sector and policies are favorable. Any adverse change by the Government in fiscal policies relating to ACI s business may adversely affect Company s profitability. Management Perception Company strictly follows all the laid down regulations for marketing its products and therefore do not foresee any problem in doing the business. Potential changes in global or national policies The Company s product lines mainly consist of healthcare and agro based products which are primarily based on imported raw materials. International price movements affect the whole industry by and large. The plant and machinery will be imported and costs may fluctuate owing to changes of exchange rate. Management Perception Any change in the global and national policy will affect the industry as a whole. Financial and operational strength of the company reached to very high level by now and is capable to handle reasonable threats. Company has adequate system and procedures in place to take care of any such event. Non-operating history There is no history of non operation in case of ACI Limited. Operational Risk Current global recession shall have serious influence on the Bangladesh economy by way of reduction of exports and remittances from NRBs. This may reduce the demand of the consumer products of ACI drastically which will reduce sales as well as profitability of the company. Management Perception The company has already taken different steps to minimize the impact of global recession towards the profitability of the company. As the current export volume of the Company is not significant, the impact of global meltdown on ACI will be very minimum. ACI 20% Convertible Zero Coupon Bonds

25 PURPOSE OF THE ISSUE As a part of ACI s vision to look for alternative funding arrangement and be pioneer in undertaking new product in the capital market, ACI Management envisage that raising of money through Zero Coupon Bonds would be an attractive option for the company. Zero Coupon Bonds have primarily four advantages compared to other debt instruments from the perspective of both issuer and the investors: The tax free benefits to all investors except bank, insurance and financial institutions. Short to long term tenure thereby addressing the requirement of the issuer. Convertibility options into ordinary shares of the company allowing investors to enjoy significant capital gain. Reduced financing cost for ACI- a positive impact on ACI s future profitability Overall this bond will create a win-win situation for both ACI and its holders. USE OF PROCEEDS ACI Pharmaceuticals is expected to be introducing three new lines of medicine products namely Anti Cancer, Hormone & Steroid and Amino Acid. For this new initiative, Company needs funding facilities to allow it to import capital machinery and carry out construction of physical facilities. Out of the total proceeds of BDT 1.00 billion that will be raised through issuance of zero-coupon bond, BDT 597,194,166 (i.e. approx. 60%) is earmarked for the expansion scheme of the pharmaceuticals division. The rest BDT 402,805,834 (approx. i.e. 40%) of the total fund will be utilized in repayment of its existing short term debt. The repayment would facilitate in bringing down current borrowings with banks and save the company from bearing the high interest rates attached with borrowing capital. Anti cancer Cancer is the term we give to a large group of diseases that vary in type and location but have one thing in common: abnormal cells growing out of control. Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer of drugs. Anti-cancer drugs destroy cancer cells by stopping growth or multiplication at some point in their life cycles. Drugs may be administered intravenously (into a vein), orally (by mouth), by injection into a muscle, depending on the drug and the type of cancer. Reason for Anti cancer drugs The current statistics shows an increasing number of cancer patients throughout the country. The scarcity and excessive cost of anticancer and other specialized medicines are the emerging problems in treating the ailing humanities of Bangladesh. As Bangladesh is exempted from the WTO regulations until 2016, there will be an ample opportunity for our country to manufacture high-tech patented anticancer and other specialized products at competitive prices to face the post WTO challenges. Hormone & Steroid A chemical substance produced in the body that controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs. Many hormones and their analogues are used as medication. The most commonly prescribed hormones are estrogens and progestagens (as methods of hormonal contraception and as HRT), thyroxine (as levothyroxine, for hypothyroidism) and steroids (for autoimmune diseases and several respiratory disorders). Most hormone and steroid drugs are made from plants or are completely synthetic. ACI 20% Convertible Zero Coupon Bonds

26 Amino Acid Amino acids are used by every cell of body and are used to build the proteins that human need to survive. They build the cells, repair tissues, produce enzymes, and play a key role in mental health. There are about 20 natural amino acids. These can be divided into two basic groups: essential and non-essential. The essential amino acids are those which body cannot produce and can be obtained through diet. The nonessential amino acids are just as important for healthy functioning as essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids are produced by our system, namely the liver is responsible for manufacturing them.

34 Market for the ACI products Pharmaceutical Industry The growth potential of pharmaceutical industry is enormous. As urban population is increasing and people are getting educated, they are now more concerned about healthcare. Therefore, the demands of medical products are rising. Our country s unhygienic conditions and poor health conditions provide vast scope for the pharmaceutical firms to grow with introduction of new products and increasing the market coverage. Before independence, the pharmaceutical market was largely dominated by multinational companies and the local companies were involved in manufacturing and marketing of very few ranges of products. However, the change in policies and promotion of favorable government initiative has enabled the local companies to be independent and be competitive in the local market. Following the Drug (Control) Ordinance of 1982, some of the local pharmaceutical companies improved range and quality of their products considerably. Currently, the national companies account for more than 65% of the pharmaceutical business in the country. The Bangladesh Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Report Q3/08 calculated that the country's pharmaceutical market had a valuation of US$700mn in 2007 and that a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.79% through to 2012 can be expected. This rapid market expansion is primarily due to greater uptake of medicine throughout this densely populated country, but also through appreciation of the taka against the US dollar, population growth and increased government healthcare expenditure, among other factors. Almost all types of possible dosage forms including tablets, capsules, oral and external liquids (solutions, suspensions, emulsions), ointments, creams, injections (small volume ampoules/dry fill vials/suspensions and large volume IV fluids), and aerosol inhalers are now produced in the country. A good number of pharmaceutical companies export their products in the international markets. The annual per capita drug consumption in our country is one of the lowest in the world. However, the industry has been a key contributor to our economy since independence. With the development of healthcare infrastructure and increase of health awareness and the purchasing capacity of people, this industry is expected to grow at a much higher rate in future. High expected growth is likely to encourage the pharmaceutical companies to introduce newer drugs and newer research products, while at the same time maintaining a healthy competitiveness in respect of the most essential drugs. Consumer Product Industry The consumer products industry is comprised of a variety of products, such as toiletries and cosmetics, ready-made edible products, consumer durables, consumer electronics, and other household items. The demand for consumer products in Bangladesh is mounting as the average standard of living is taking an upward turn. People now demand products that had minimal demand in the past such as household cleaning item, pre-packed food products, cosmetics and toiletries etc. This change in demand has encouraged the local firms to become specialized in producing toiletries, readymade food items and other consumer brands. Bangladesh s export potential is also growing fast. Along with the traditional products, which make the main export basket, non-traditional items are being added to it. The country is now exporting many food items such as spices, frozen vegetables and other snack items. Bangladesh is a tropical country infested with mosquitoes, flies, and other germ carrying insects and bacteria which are hazardous to health. The demand for healthy living has stimulated the production of insect and germ killers such as mosquito coils, aerosols, antiseptic solutions etc. Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Over 80% of the country's population lives in rural areas, but recent trends show that more and more people are migrating to urban areas; as a result the demands for nontraditional food items and other household products are increasing as purchasing power of the people are augmenting. Hence the demand for consumer products will be strengthening further in the future and leaves a lucrative scope for the local industries to fill the gap between demand and supply. Page 34

35 Agri-business Industry Bangladesh is primarily an agrarian economy. Agriculture is the single largest producing sector of economy since it comprises about 30% of the country s GDP and employing around 60% of the labor force. The performance of this sector has an impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation, poverty alleviation, human resources development and food security. Hence utmost priority should be given to its proper development of this sector so that our nation can achieve total self sufficiency in agricultural production. As our country is prone to natural calamities, measures should be taken so that progress of this sector is not halted. In addition to government support, the local firms must develop modern agricultural equipment, effective fertilizers distribution; pesticides and other crop protective items at low cost so that it is accessible to the poor farmers. Currently major emphasis is given on increasing production of major crops like rice to make the country self sufficient in producing staple food. There are renewal interests in growing other crops like wheat, maize etc. To help the farmer community government had recently come up with idea of giving subsidy to the farmer in fertilizer. We feel that this sector has tremendous prosperity to grow further by providing all kinds of support to farmer through supplying high yield variety seeds, fertilizer and agricultural equipment including tractors, power tiller and harvesters and crop care products. Availability of all these facilities and products will enable farmer to increase their production yield thereby making them economically solvent as well as helping the country to save foreign currency spent on importing food grains.

Description of ZCB is as follows: GENERAL CONCEPT ON ZERO COUPON BOND When a company, private or public Corporations or Banks (or government) wishes to borrow money from the public on a long-term basis, it usually does so by issuing or selling debt securities that is generally called bonds. A bond is normally a fixed interest-bearing debt instruments, meaning that the borrower will pay the interest on predetermined time schedules but the principal will be repaid at the end of the debt period i.e. on maturity. The amount that will be repaid at the end of the debt period is called the bond s face value or par value. The number of years until the face value is paid is called the bond s time to maturity. Once the bond has been issued, the number of years to maturity declines as time goes by. Zero Coupon Bond Zero Coupon Bond is a debt security that doesn't pay interest (a coupon) but is traded at a deep discount, rendering profit at maturity when the bond is redeemed for its full face value. This is a type of bond that makes no coupon payments but instead is issued at a considerable discount to par value i.e bond is issued at discounted price and redeemed at face value; the difference of which is income from investment in bond. For example, incase of ACI 20% Convertible Zero Coupon Bonds with a BDT 1,000 face value and 5 years to maturity is issued at BDT 607; the investor will be paying BDT 607 today for a bond that will be worth BDT 1,000 after 5 years. Page 67

68 In contrast, an investor who holds a regular coupon bearing bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Convertible Bond As the name implies, convertible bonds, or converts, give the holder the option to exchange the bond for a predetermined number of shares of the issuing company. When first issued, they act just like regular corporate bonds, though with a slightly lower interest rate. Because convertibles can be changed into stock and thus benefit from a rise in the price of the underlying stock, companies offer lower yields on convertibles. Zero-Coupon Convertible Bond A zero-coupon convertible bond is a bond that has an additional convertibility option beside all other features of a regular zero-coupon bond. Usually it is issued by a company that can be converted into that company s common stock. Conversion Strike Price The conversion strike price (also called the conversion ratio) determines how many shares can be converted from each bond. This can be expressed as a ratio or as the conversion strike price, and is specified in the indenture along with other features and provisions. ACI 20% Convertible Zero Coupon bonds at a glance A.

72 RATIONALE FOR INVESTING IN ACI 20% CONVERTIBLE ZERO COUPON BOND Zero-coupon bond is an attractive product from the viewpoint of both the investors and issuers. Some of the salient advantages of zero-coupon bond are as follows: 1. First Ranking Claim on Shareholders Bonds are debt, whereas stocks are equity. This is the important distinction between the two securities. By purchasing equity (stock) an investor becomes an owner in a company. Ownership comes with voting rights and the right to share in any future profits. By purchasing debt (bonds) an investor becomes a creditor to the company. The primary advantage of being a creditor is that the investor has a higher claim on assets than shareholders do: that is, in the case of bankruptcy, a bondholder will have the first charge on assets of the company (except specific charges). 2. Convertibility Option The investor has the option to convert 20% of the bond at face value in a predetermined conversion strike price. The investor will execute the convertibility option assuming that the market value of ACI stock is higher than the conversion strike price on the conversion date. 3. Short Term Volatility of the Stock Market Bonds are appropriate particularly when investors cannot tolerate the short-term volatility of the stock market. Bonds are perceived as more secured and stable investment as investors are assured of guaranteed return. Therefore, for a fixed income earner it is more lucrative to invest in zero-coupon bond. 4. Extra Income Potential: It leaves the investor with the option of earning more by converting 20% of the investment into common stocks depending on the market condition. Due to high profit growth, the shares of ACI enjoys high market price. 5. Win-win situation-tax free benefits Government of Bangladesh is promoting the bond market as an alternate source of investment for infrastructure projects and as such tax exemption allowed to any income derived from Zero Coupon Bond received by a person other than bank, insurance or any financial institution under certain prescribed conditions. Consider the case of a corporation and other investors that invests in ACI 20% Convertible ZCB and the scenario will be as below: Particulars Tax Rate Yield = Discount Rate of ZCB / (1- Tax Rate) Limited Company 37.50% 16.80% Individuals 25.00% 14% Banks/FIs/Insurances 45.00% 10.5% since Tax exemption not allowed Even if GOB changes the regulations there would be no retrospective effect on those ZCB s issued under Clause 40 of the amended sixth schedule of Income Tax Ordinance No. XXXVI of 1984 published on Bangladesh Gazette Dated June 30, This product is a win-win situation for both the investor and the issuer. Because net return is guaranteed for the investors and on the other hand the issuer also gets fund in a competitive rate. 6. Strong Sponsors and Management Team ACI is one of the emerging corporate houses in the country. They have a sound management structure with a proven track record. Annual turnover of ACI Limited in the year 2008 was BDT 7,365 million. Page 72

73 SCENARIO ANALYSIS OF INVESTING IN ACI ZCB SCENARIO: 1- Return without conversion If the market price of the ACI stock is equal or less than the strike price, Investors won t exercise the convertibility option. In that case the return from investment will be as follows: ZCB Maturity Issue Price/Unit Face Value/Unit Redemption Income Return 1 year 905 1, % 2 year 819 1, % 3 year 741 1, % 4 year 671 1, % 5 year 607 1, % Total 3,743 5,000 1, % In the above example we have assumed that an investor will invest in single lot of ACI Convertible ZCB and he/she wont exercise the convertibility option in that case the investors holding period yield will equal to the ZCB s yield to maturity. SCENARIO: 2- return with conversion The bond has a convertibility option which is very much in the discretion of the potential investors. The investor will exercise the convertibility option if the conversion strike price is lower than the prevailing market price of Ordinary Share of ACI Limited during the conversion date. Market Price assumption Mechanism To forecast the market value of the ACI script, linear regression model (being conservative among..) is used. The dependent variable is market value and the independent variable is Net Asset Value (NAV). The regression model is: Market Value = α + β X Net Asset Value + ε = X Net Asset Value For selecting independent variable, three variables Earning per Share (EPS), Net Asset Value (NAV), and Price Earning Ratio (P/E) are considered. The correlation between Market Value with EPS, NAV, and P/E ratio is 0.99, 0.86, and 0.05 respectively. It shows that EPS & NAV has the strong relationship with Market Value and very weak relationship with P/E ratio. The covariance between Market Value with EPS, NAV, and P/E Ratio is , , and 6.39 respectively. P/E ratio shows lower covariance with Market Value of ACI share scripts although both EPS and NAV shows a high covariance value. However, except NAV (t = 2.46, tcrit 2-tail = 2.57) no statistically significant relationship found with Market Value out of the three independent variable. Thus, NAV is selected as independent variable based on the result of all statistical indicators. Conversion Mechanism The Conversion Strike Price will be 1.1 times net asset value per share at the end of financial year. Investors will receive exactly the amount of shares derived by dividing Convertible amount (at the end of each year) by Conversion Strike Price. The formula will be as follows: Page 73

74 Convertible amount of the Bond / Conversion Strike Price Fractional amount of shares and odd lot of shares will be paid in cash at existing market price. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Expected Net Asset Value (Previous Year) Strike Price = 1.1 times NAV Expected Market Price Note: Expected net assets value is shown as per Five year s financial projection prepared by the management of ACI Series Issue Price Face Value Redemption 80%- Cash 20%- Share Redemption Income Expected Market Price Expected NAV Expected Capital gain from Conversion No. of Convertible Strike Price share MV of Convertible shares Capital gain Total Income= Redemption income + Capital gain Present Value of Total Income Expected return (%) , % , % , % , % , % Total 3,743 5,000 4,000 1,000 1,257 2,668 1, , , , , , % Considering the above analysis it revealed that the bondholder is enjoying the convertibility option because the market value of ACI stock was significantly higher than the conversion strike price on the maturity/conversion date of the bond.

Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently (otherwise as stated) to all periods presented in these financial statements. Page 95

96 3.1 Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by ACI Limited. Control exists when ACI Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that it ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by ACI Limited Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of ACI Limited's interest in the investee. Unrealized losses, if any, are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent there is no evidence of impairment 3.2 Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or revaluation less accumulated depreciation less impairment loss, if any. The items of property, plant and equipment were revalued in the year 2004 and 2007 by a firm of professional valuers on the basis of open market value. 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 end of 2008 and these are stated at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of asset. The cost of self constructed asset includes the cost of material and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment disposed off and are recognized net with "other income" in profit or loss account. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings. Page 96

97 3.2.2 Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized 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 cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the profit and loss account as incurred Depreciation All items of property, plant and equipment have been depreciated on straight line basis. Depreciation on additions are charged at 50% of normal rates only in the year of acquisition and no depreciation is charged in the year of disposal. Depreciation is charged at the rates varying from 2.5% to 20% depending on the estimated useful lives of assets. No depreciation is charged for land and capital work in progress. The revalued items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated by writing off their revalued amount at the date of revaluation over their remaining estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Building Plant and machinery Furniture and fixture Electrical and other office appliances Office machinery Vehicles 40 years 10 years 10 years 10 years 10 years 5 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. No revisions in respect of items of property, plant and equipment were made in Impairment The carrying amount of the entity's non financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is re-estimated. However, no such conditions that might be suggestive of a heightened risk of impairment of assets existed at the reporting date. 3.3 Intangible asset Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the net value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree on the date of acquisition. Page 97

98 Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses Software s Software s that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific assets to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit and loss as incurred Amortization Amortization is recognized in the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets other than goodwill. Amortization on additions are charged at 50% of normal rates only in the year of acquisition. Amortization is charged at the rates of 10% depending on the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful life for the current intangible asset is as follows: Software Useful life Normal rate 10 years 10 percent 3.4 Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through retaining as investment are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets are measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Such assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. 3.5 Leased assets Finance lease Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Page 98

99 Depreciation Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Depreciation is charged at the rate of 20% p.a. Lease payments Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability Operating lease Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 3.6 Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operation capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Stock- in-transit represents the cost incurred up to the date of the balance sheet for the items that were not received till to the date of balance sheet. Inventory losses and abnormal losses are recognized as expenses. 3.7 Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are initially recognized at cost which is the fair value of the consideration given in return. After initial recognition these are carried at cost less impairment losses due to uncollectibility of any amount so recognized. 3.8 Advances, deposits and prepayments Advances are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition advances are carried at cost less deductions, adjustments or charges to other account heads such as property, plant and equipment, inventory or expenses. Deposits are measured at payment value. Prepayments are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition prepayments are carried at cost less charges to profit and loss account. Page 99

100 3.9 Cash and cash equivalent Cash and cash equivalent include cash in hand, cash at banks which are held and available for use by the Company without any restriction Provision A provision is recognized in the balance sheet 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 Contingencies Contingencies arising from claims, litigations, assessments, fines, penalties, etc. are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated Income tax expenses Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the profit or loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The applicable tax rate for the company is 27.5%. As the company qualifies as a "publicly traded company" it is entitled to a 10% rebate if dividend declared is more than 20% of the paid up capital. Provision for taxation has been made on the basis of the Finance Ordinance Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax arises due to temporary difference deductible or taxable for the events or transactions recognized in the income statement. A temporary difference is the difference between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount/reported amount in the balance sheet. Deferred tax asset or liability is the amount of income tax recoverable or payable in future period's recognized in the current period. The deferred tax asset /income or liability/expense does not create a legal liability/recoverability to and from the income tax authority. Deferred tax also arises due to revaluation of property, plant and equipment. The resulting impact of deferred tax assets/liabilities on revaluation reserve is included in the statement of changes in equity Investment in shares In the separate financial statements of the company, all investments are carried at costs. Page 100

101 In the Consolidated Financial Statements of Advanced Chemical Industries Limited, following valuation principles have been used: Investments in subsidiaries - Investment in subsidiaries has been accounted for as per BFRS-3 ' Business Combination'. The investment is eliminated in full against the equity of acquiree measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Long term investments - These are valued at cost or revalued amounts when there is a decline in value which is not temporary. This is as per BAS 25: Accounting for Investment, applicable for periods upto those ending before 31 December Associates and joint ventures - Associates are those entities in which the ACI Limited has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities ACI Limited has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted invitees). The consolidated financial statements include the ACI Limited's share of the income and expenses of equity accounted invested, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the ACI Limited, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. This is in consistent with BAS 28:Investments in Associates and BAS 31: Interests in Joint Ventures Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated at rates ruling on the dates advices were received. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at reporting date are reconverted at rates ruling at the balance sheet date. All exchange differences are charged/credited to profit and loss account by being absorbed in the respective head of income or expenditure Revenue recognition Revenue arising from sale of goods a) Goods sold Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks 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, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. b) Cash on delivery sales Revenue is recognized when delivery is made and cash is received by the seller. Page 101

102 Revenue arising from services Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss account in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed Revenue arising from commission When the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue is recognized in the net amount of commission made by the Group Interest income Finance income comprises of interest income of fund invested. Interest income is recognized on accrual basis Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when right to receive payment of such dividend is established Borrowing costs Finance expenses comprise interest expense on bank loan, finance lease and other borrowings. All borrowing costs are recognized in the profit and loss account using effective interest method Cash flow statement Cash flow from operating activities have been presented under direct method Workers' profit participation fund The company had created a fund for workers as 'Workers' Profit Participation Fund' and 5% of the profit before charging such expense has been transferred to this fund Employment benefit The company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme, provision in respect of which is made annually covering all its permanent eligible employees. This scheme is qualified as a defined benefits scheme. There are two recognized provident funds for all employees of the company. These are also qualify as defined contribution scheme. The company also has a group insurance policy for all management staff. Actuarial valuation of gratuity scheme was last made in 2006 to assess the adequacy of the liabilities provided for the schemes as per BAS 19: Employee Benefits Defined contribution plan (provident fund) Defined contribution plan is a post employment benefit plan under which the company provides benefits to one or Page 102

103 more employees. The recognized Employees' Provident Fund is being considered as defined contribution plan as it meets the recognition criteria specified for this purpose. All permanent employees contribute 10% of their basic salary to the Provident Fund and the Company also makes equal contribution. The company recognizes contribution to defined contribution plan as an expense when an employee has rendered services in exchange for those contribution. The legal and constructive obligation is limited to the amount it agrees to contribute to the fund Defined benefit plan (gratuity) Defined benefit plan is a retirement benefit plan under which amounts to be paid as retirement benefits are determined by reference to employees' earnings and/or year of services. The recognized Employees' Gratuity Fund is being considered as defined benefit plan as it meets the recognition criteria. The company's obligation is to provide the agreed benefits to current employees as per condition of the fund. Present value of defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets were determined by professional actuary. Projected Unit Credit method is used to measure the present value of defined benefit obligations and related current and past service cost and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions about demographic and financial variables were used. The difference between fair value of the plan assets and present value of obligation is recognized as a liability or an asset in the balance sheet. The rate used to discount post employment benefit obligations is determined by reference to the rate stated in the actuarial report. The expected return on plan assets is based on market expectation and is one of the component of expenses recognized in the profit and loss account. Total expenses recognized in the profit and loss account comprise of current service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets Leave encashment The company makes provision for annual leave encashment based on latest basic salary as allowed by the Company policy Short-term benefit Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided Earnings per share The Company and the Group (which is made up ACI Limited and its subsidiaries and associates) present its basic earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company/Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss account attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential Page 103

104 ordinary shares, if any. This has been shown on the face of profit and loss account and computation of EPS is stated in note Segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
