DIVIDENDS During the year EPS of your Company was Taka 6.57. Directors decided in the Board Meeting held on August 05, 2013 to recommend dividend of Taka 4.00 per share of Taka 10/- each. After your approval in this General Meeting, the dividend will be paid to the Shareholders. EMPLOYMENT REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS Although the labour situation in the RMG sector was unsatisfactory, if not violent sometimes, the labour environment in the leather sector was quiet. Labour relation in your Company was cordial and morale of the workers was high. The breakdown of your Company s human resources are: This Year Previous Year Total Total Workers 650 605 Staff 170 175 Management 32 32 INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS Before the recession in Europe, our main market was Italy. For the past two years, our export to Italy has gone down tremendously and we do not see any prospects in this market. Fortunately, we were aware of this and explored the Chinese and Indian markets and were able to find good customers. Also, Japan is a steady market for us but the volume is not substantial. We feel that the leather industry of Bangladesh will have to depend on the Chinese and Indian markets for the next few years. China and India are big producers and exporters of shoes and leather goods, but their domestic supply of finished leather is totally inadequate. Both these countries have to depend on supply of finished leather from abroad and here Bangladesh can be an important link to their supply chain. RISKS AND CONCERNS Raw hides and skins is a by-product of the meat industry. If the consumption of red meat decreases, then correspondingly the supply of hides and skins goes down with increase in price. We have noticed that the supply of hides and skins have been erratic in the world because of the difference in consumption of red meat in different countries. It is very difficult to predict the supply and prices of raw hides and skins in Bangladesh because the demand for red meat varies from month to month. So the biggest risk of leather industry is the price elasticity of raw hides and skins. The main concern of leather industry in Bangladesh is the problem of pollution. Environment is a big issue everywhere but very unfortunately, there is no pollution plant for the leather industry in Bangladesh. It is a matter of great concern that if the government is not able to shift the entire leather industry of Dhaka from Hazaribagh to Savar within a short time, then there is a great possibility that the importing countries may impose a ban of Bangladeshi leather. 10 Annual Report 2013
