CORPORATE EVENTS AND CSR
Media Spotlights
Forbes featured Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. where they recognized our quick response and
persistence as a humanitarian ambassador during the peak time of COVID-19 pandemic. BPL was
able to successfully utilize their resources and become the first pharmaceutical company in the world
to introduce a generic version of Remdesivir and Molnupiravir. The worldwide media firm also did an
excellent job of describing our achievements, development, contributions to the society, and vision for
the future. Forbes has beautifully captured the story highlighting Beximco’s immense contribution to
improving access to affordable medicines.
To commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Bangladesh and Mujib Birth Centenary, CNN conducted
the ‘Made in Bangladesh’ campaign monitored by the Steering Committee under the Ministry of
Commerce and Bangladesh Foreign Trade Institute (BFTI). The holistic campaign was proposed by CNN
to promote Bangladesh's various export industries and execute the country's export-oriented strategic
growth plan. CNN featured the potential of Bangladesh’s pharma industry to manufacture high-quality
generics at an extremely affordable price in times of need.
“Our self-reliant pharmaceutical industry not only plays a vital role in promoting healthcare within the
country, but it is also well set to expand its global footprint, providing access to affordable generics
across continents.”
-Nazmul Hassan MP, President, BAPI
A safe and healthy workplace is in our priority agenda and Beximco Pharma has stringent Occupational Health and Safety System in
place to ensure the health and safety of the employees, contractors, visitors, and neighbors who may be affected by its operations.
We actively comply with relevant government regulations and industry standards. All of our manufacturing facilities have certification
and clearance from the appropriate authorities.
EHS Team
The Company has established a high level EHS Committee with senior-level management employees to oversee EHS issues and
ensure the implementation of the adopted standards. They are continually focused on improvement of the EHS culture within the
organization. The Committee meets once quarterly for a review of the system in place, identifying potential improvement areas and
suggesting remedial measures as appropriate.
In addition to the EHS Committee, Beximco Pharma has a Safety Committee consisting of representatives of management and
workers to monitor and manage the health and safety related issues and bring it to the attention of management. They also work to
build awareness on safety matters across the facilities.
We installed High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters and proper scrubber for enhanced protection in manufacturing areas. Dust
particles collected from the filters are incinerated. There is treatment device to purify the vapour before discharging into atmosphere.
Quality of air emission from Incinerator, Boiler and Generator etc. are regularly monitored.
Beximco Pharma measures the carbon footprint in the factory surroundings once in every three years as per government regulations.
The results have always been well below the standard limit set by DoE.
The manufacturing operation generates a considerable amount of wastewater from washing and cleaning of machineries, empty
bottles, utensils, floors, etc., The other source of liquid waste consists of dissolved and suspended API, excipients, laboratory re-
agents and water from the cooling tower. The Company has adequate control over managing the liquid waste and has its own effluent
treatment plant. Treated water of ETP is reused in scrubber incinerator, Car Wash, Toilets, Garedning etc. No toxic wastewater is
discharged into the outside drain without treatment. The settled sludge is incinerated.
This year we have commenced operation of the new generation wastewater treatment facilities (PLC-based Membrane Bioreactor
technology). The facility has a capacity of 605 m3/day which is sufficient to meet the wastewater treatment loads of the immediate
future.
Treated water quality complies with the standard value of local regulation and its quality surpasses the municipal regulation’s
standard value. Result of the treated water tested on October 25, 2022 are as follows:
We installed 854 various types of fire extinguishers around our industrial grounds, including ABC fire extinguishers, CO2 fire
extinguishers, and Foam fire extinguishers. We have also set up two Fire Cabinets at the entry gates with fire blanket, fireman’s axe,
first-aid kit, lock cutter, and other emergency response items inside.
All areas in head office and factories are provided with emergency exits along with proper signage, and where applicable, flameproof
appliances, fire doors etc. are used. Partitions are made with PU panel capable of retaining fire for a definitive time period.
Approximately 35% of personnel are trained to operate firefighting equipment such as fire extinguishers and fire hydrants. Our trained
ERCT (Emergency Response Core Team) personnel are capable to manage emergencies using a suitable fire extinguisher and an
automatic fire hydrant system.
We execute evacuation simulation drills twice a year in collaboration with Bangladesh Fire Service and the Civil Defense Department
to train our people how to respond in the event of an emergency.

Chairman’s Statement
A S F Rahman
Chairman
Dear Shareholders,
At a time when domestic and global economy was struggling to recover from the devastating COVID-19 effect, the Ukraine war that
began in the second half of the financial year further created an upheaval in the global economy affecting every country around the
world. Despite such a difficult macro-economic condition, I am happy to report another successful year for Beximco Pharma with
continued growth momentum. Upon review of Reports of the Directors and the Managing Director, you will note that we performed
well in our operational and financial continuum with sales, Operating Profit and Pre-Tax Profit recording a growth over comparable
previous period. In the operational area, we have further consolidated our domestic market position, launched a significant number
of new products, and reinforced our overseas markets through more approvals and registrations.
We made significant investment to build the Unit- 3 manufacturing facility to support our growth and secure our future capacity
needs. This project, besides relieving the capacity constraint, will create product diversification options. We will relocate some
products manufactured in our old facilities to the new site, leaving the space for alternative use. The project is now complete and
became operational. Manufacturing validation and transfer of products to the new facility are being done in phases.
While we are happy with the operational and financial progress achieved, we are mindful of the macro-economic challenges the
world is passing through. At the country level, the economic downturn, energy crisis, high inflation, depleting foreign currency
reserve, depreciation of Taka against its principal foreign currency US Dollar, and the political uncertainty surrounding the election in
2023 remain issues of concern. However, the government’s continued policy to provide priority to the manufacturing sector, especially
the pharmaceuticals and the agricultural sector, is a welcoming relief. Our focus, as always, will be on achieving the targets for the
year and striving to exceed them.
The Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are two important committees of the Board. They carried
out their respective responsibilities with the utmost sincerity and diligence. Members of the Board of Directors have extended their
unceasing co-operation throughout the year. I convey my heartfelt gratitude to all of them.
We have got a highly dedicated, capable, and very sincere pool of employees. The achievement we have made so far was only
possible because of such a talented team. I thankfully acknowledge their contribution to the company.
Finally, I am grateful to you, dear shareholders, for placing your trust on us and always extending your invaluable support.
Thanking you
A S F Rahman

BOARD AND MANAGEMENT REPORT
Report of the Managing Director
Bangladesh, absorbing the initial shock of COVID-19, was recovering well in the post-pandemic period until the global economy
was again trembled by the incursion of the Ukraine war beginning in the second half of the financial year. Despite global headwinds
and lingering post-pandemic challenges, Bangladesh posted an impressive GDP growth ranging between 6.9% to 7.2% according
to different estimates with strong export and increased domestic demand. However, Bangladesh, like many other countries, faces
global economic challenges stemming from the Ukraine war with a surge in import cost, energy crisis, sharp depreciation of domestic
currency against United States dollar and high inflation from the second half of the FY2021-22. Widening Balance of Payment
deficit brought down the foreign currency reserve to US $35.8 billion in October 2022 from a record US$48 billion in August 2021,
weakening the macro-economic stability that the country has been enjoying for a long time. Monetary and fiscal policies in advanced
economies including continued interest rate hikes are leading the world towards a global recession. Against this backdrop of global
economic slowdown, World Bank, IMF and ADB in their latest reports have lowered their growth forecast for Bangladesh as well as
all other South Asian economies.
According to IQVIA, the global pharma market was valued at $1.42 trillion in 2021, which is forecasted to reach $1.8 trillion by
2026, increasing at a rate of 3-6% annually. Biologic drugs continue to dominate with 7 of them in the top 10 list with Pfizer’s mRNA
vaccine for COVID-19 alone generating a whopping $36.9 billion followed by monoclonal antibody for rheumatoid arthritis Humira
(Adalimumab) at $20.7 billion, and Moderna’s mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 at $17.7 billion. Global generic drugs market stood at
$305 billion in 2021 and will continue to expand as patented drugs worth almost $200 billion will go off patent during 2022-23, a
large part of it coming from blockbuster biologic drugs.
Bangladesh pharmaceutical market currently valued over US $3 billion has been enjoying a double-digit growth for quite a long time.
The industry maintained this historic trend in FY2021-22, although IQVIA report, the widely used data source for pharmaceuticals,
erroneously shows a different result for Bangladesh market. However, Bangladesh’s health sector being primarily driven by private
spending, economic downturn and lower purchasing power may slow down the future growth of this sector. Domestic and global
macro-economic disruptions remain an added burden for all the industries, including pharmaceuticals.
Review of Operations
Sales, Products and Markets
We concluded 2021-22 with remarkable progress in a challenging economic condition achieving 17.5% growth in our consolidated
revenue. Our domestic sales, driven by organic growth coupled with the acquisition of Synovia Pharma, increased 21.3% y-o-y,
outperforming the industry average. In the domestic market, we achieved the highest growth among the top five companies. Our
domestic business was driven by our excellent performance in both chronic care and acute segments. This excellent performance is
a testament to the strength of our core capabilities, strategic portfolio, and very importantly, resilience in the face of a crisis. However,
the economic downturn and global supply chain disruptions largely caused our export decline by 14% and partly overshadowed our
domestic performance.
During the year under review, we launched 30 new products (51 presentations), 9 of them for the first time in Bangladesh. We
continued to expand our export portfolio and completed 32 registrations for 28 products in 11 countries. Since my last report, we
received 3 more ANDA approvals in the US market and Marketing Authorizations for two products in the UK. We also entered 4 new
countries in the said period, including Morocco and Georgia.
redesigned their business model mirroring the winning strategies of Beximco Pharma. New ERP and other IT platforms have been
rolled out across the organization, enabling the company to maintain its operational excellence.
Looking Forward
The Company will continue to build a differentiated portfolio to meet the unmet needs of our patients. We have created a new fill-n-
finish vaccine facility which is expected to be operational by FY2022-23 and negotiations are at the final stage with global vaccine
producers for tech transfer. We will continue to seek more international collaborations in the areas of biosimilars and oncology, while
expand our API portfolio of patented molecules to capitalize on the TRIPS advantages. As we have completed the acquisition of Sanofi,
later renamed Synovia, we believe its strong portfolio and sound operational experience will definitely help accelerate our growth,
complementing our existing portfolio in the domestic market.
Over the last four decades, we have transformed people’s lives by providing access to affordable medicines and largely contributed
to the country’s remarkable achievements in healthcare. As our journey continues, we remain steadfast in our commitment to making
a positive impact on patients’ lives by building healthier communities.
Despite all the uncertainties and the unforeseen challenges stemming from ongoing geopolitical tensions, we remain firm on our
strategic commitment to expand our businesses and stay ahead in the competition, doing our best to maintain the positive momentum.
We believe our powerful business model and fully committed, agile workforce will propel us forward and continue to deliver results
for our shareholders.
Nazmul Hassan MP
Managing Director
The combined force of our product development, manufacturing skills and also our marketing
expertise will yield definitive results not just for investors but also for patients in need.
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT REPORT
Government has taken up fiscal, monetary, and regulatory measures to ease the forex crisis and tame domestic inflation. The country
is also facing energy shortages due to high cost and depleting foreign currency reserve situation. In this context, the World Bank
has revised its GDP growth forecast for Bangladesh to 6.1% from 6.7% for FY2022-23. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has also
downgraded its forecast to 6.6% for the same fiscal year.
Government’s supportive policy for the pharmaceutical sector, however, remains unchanged. In Bangladesh, 117 items of medicines
are declared as essential category and their prices are controlled by the Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA). In
response to an appeal from the industry, the DGDA considering a significant increase in the cost of inputs, approved upward price
revision of some of these products, which came into effect in July 2022. This gave a little respite to the industry, struggling with
eroding profit margin due to increased cost.

Our consolidated gross profit rose 13.6% in FY 2021-22 to reach at Taka 15,814.3 million. The pre-tax profit stands at Taka 6,686.9
million as against Taka 6,377.5 million earned in 2020-21 representing 4.9% YoY increase (11.7% on standalone basis). Our newly
acquired Synovia Pharma has incurred a pre-tax loss of Taka 279.0 million during the post-acquisition nine-month period and thus
pulled down the consolidated pre-tax profit growth in percentage terms. Net Profit after Tax however, declined by 3.2% to Taka
4,998.6 million on comparable terms, mainly because of one-off deferred tax benefit that accrued from the changes of income tax
rates in previous year.
In the context of rising material and freight costs, sharp depreciation of domestic currency and high inflation, the industry is
facing increasing challenges as the prices of medicines are not readily flexible to absorb the increased cost. Moreover, the Unit- 3
manufacturing facility built to ease our capacity constraint and secure our future needs, has become operational this year. The
depreciation and other operating costs are now being charged as manufacturing overheads following the accounting standards. All
these combined has brought down our gross margin as a percentage of sales to 45.6% from 47.2% of the prior year.
Collection of cash from revenue and other sources increased by 17.2% to Taka 36,126 million. However, net cash generated from
Operating Activities declined by 13.4% to Taka 5,214.2 million from Taka 6,023.3 million of the prior year due to increased investment
in working capital consequent to the devaluation of Taka, rise in material costs and domestic inflation. Further to aforesaid, the
company needed to maintain additional inventory to protect against supply chain disruptions and to support business growth.
We earn royalty income from our subsidiary Nuvista Pharma and overseas partners for the sale of a few selected products. Income
from this source is linked to the volume of sales of these products. Royalty earned from the subsidiary Nuvista Pharma has been
eliminated as inter-company transactions in the consolidated financials.
The Company distributed 8 million doses of Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine during the reporting period, with a cumulative 15
million doses delivered under the tripartite agreement between the Serum Institute of India (SII), Government of Bangladesh (GOB)
and Beximco Pharma. The Company recorded a net amount of Taka 619 million as Vaccine Distribution Fee in the reporting period.
Given the broader availability of COVID-19 vaccines in Bangladesh, insignificant rate of infection, and widespread lack of desire for a
third dose from the general population, it is unlikely that GOB will seek to procure any further vaccine doses through this agreement
for the foreseeable future.
The Company recorded a net gain on foreign exchange mainly from upward translation of export receivables due to record depreciation
of Taka. Future income from this source depends on fluctuation of exchanges rates between Taka and its counterpart currency.
Other items included under the head Other Income are either non-recurring or not material or inherent to the normal business
operation.
Dividend
The Board of Directors recommends 35% Cash Dividend i.e. Tk. 3.50 per share for the year ended 30 June 2022 for onward approval
at the Annual General Meeting. The Company has declared no interim dividend during the year.
Beximco has robust policies and procedures in place at functional, operational and strategic level to mitigate risks. Our strong and
experienced executive team identify, assess and address diverse risks that might affect its operational or financial targets. The board
and the management of the Company over the years have managed successfully to monitor and review risks on a continual basis.
Beximco Pharma takes appropriate mitigating measures to avoid, eliminate or reduce risks based on the variety and intensity of the
risk. While the Company has an appropriate system of vigilance and established procedures to address the risks arising from internal
or external sources, there are uncertainties beyond control of the Company which might affect its goals.
Economic Risks
The growth of pharmaceutical Industry in Bangladesh is predominantly driven by individual private spending which depends on the
economic advancement and consequent increase in the purchasing power of the people. Any decline in economic growth could, as
for any other industry, impact the future demand for pharmaceuticals.
Global economic instability also has a bearing on the industry and may impact its growth and profitability. Bangladesh, like many
other countries is currently facing challenges due to the Ukraine war and the stretching effect of the pandemic. The government
has, taken up different measures to overcome the crisis. Bangladesh 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 overcoming
the current crisis. The country is going to be graduated as a middle-income country by 2026. Improvement in the standard of living,
education and increased health awareness reinforced by added purchasing power is expected to trigger the demand for healthcare
products in the coming years.
Market Risk
Interest Rate risk and Foreign Exchange risk are the two important market risks. The Company has foreign and domestic borrowing.
Any Change in interest rate might impact the financial results of the Company. Foreign borrowings, in addition to interest rates, are
subject to foreign exchange risk. The Company, however, has strong revenue and cash flow stream to meet its financial obligations.
The government has capped the maximum lending interest rate at 9%, which mitigates the risk of any abrupt increase in the rate
The exchange rate between Taka and US Dollar over the years remained more or less stable with the government intervening in the
forex market. However, domestic currency in recent times has significantly depreciated against the US Dollar. The government has
taken up different monetary, fiscal, and regulatory measures to improve its foreign currency reserve. The Company has exports in US
Dollar that give a natural hedge to partially neutralize the adverse impact of the exchange rate fluctuations.
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. Due to the Company’s strong
network of sourcing and procurement, it managed uninterrupted production during the pandemic time through ensuring availability
of raw materials. Moreover, Beximco Pharma manufactures few of the APIs and the Company is strengthening its API manufacturing
capacity.
Technology Risk
The pharmaceutical industry is a technology and research driven industry. The company’s management values data security,
automation of operations and technological advancement in the industry. The Company therefore 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.
Detailed bio-data of the Directors are available in the Directors’ Profile section of this Annual Report.

The Committee carefully examined the related party transactions carried out among different associated companies, including the
subsidiaries and found that the related party transactions were made on an arm’s length basis in the normal course of business.
These have been appropriately disclosed in the financial statements as per IAS 24: ‘Related Party Disclosures’. The Committee

warrants the Board’s attention.

financial, accounting and reporting matters discussed in the meeting. The Committee, wherever applicable, gave necessary feedback
and guidance in connection with reporting and disclosure.

Introduction
Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) through a Directive, made it mandatory for a listed company to formulate its
Dividend Distribution Policy and disclose the policy in the company’s annual report and official website. In compliance to this directive,
Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Beximco Pharma” or the “Company”) publishes this statement as a guiding framework for the
shareholders with regards to the Company’s Dividend Policy.
This statement provides a brief outline of the legal and regulatory provisions relating to dividend, key issues in dividend considerations
and the procedure for the declaration, approval and payment of dividend.
Companies Act
The Companies Act 1994, the primary legislation regulating the affairs of a company, gives power to the directors to recommend
the dividend to be declared by the company which is to be approved by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The
shareholders however, cannot approve any dividend more than what has been recommended by the directors. It also authorizes the
directors to pay from time to time, interim dividends to the shareholders if so appears to be justified by the profits of the company. The
directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the company, such sums as they deem appropriate,
as reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the directors, be applied for meeting contingencies, or for equalizing dividends
or for any other purpose of the company appropriate for utilization of such profits or may employ such profits in the business of the
company or otherwise as they think fit.
The law further provides that dividends are to be paid out of profits of the year or any other undistributed profits.
Multiple internal and external factors might affect Company’s dividend decisions. While recommending dividend the Board of directors
shall consider among others:
- Company’s current net earnings, accumulated distributable reserves/surplus and availability of free cash flow
- Potential growth opportunities and investment requirements; assessment of benefits of retention vs pay-out
- Legal and Regulatory compulsion and tax implication of retention and payout
- Any debt/loan covenants restricting dividend announcements
- Persuasion of a target capital structure
- Cost of external finance
- Policy on consistency of the dividend over reasonable and foreseeable future years
Additionally, the Board may consider other factors or circumstances to decide on distribution of dividend for a particular year.
Dividend recommended by the Directors are to be placed in the Annual General meeting of the Company for the Shareholders’
approval. Dividend are transferred to the respective shareholders’ account within 30 days from the date of its approval. Interim
Dividend if any declared by the Company, are paid within 30 days from the Record Date fixed by the Company for the entitlement of
such dividend.
Disclaimer
The above Policy Statement neither gives a guarantee of dividend to be declared by the Company nor does it constitute a commitment
for any future dividend and thus be read as a general guidance on different dividend related issues. The policy upholds the Board’s
absolute/complete liberty to recommend any dividend in deviation of the policy.
The 45th Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited held under virtual
platform on December 23, 2021.

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, 2022 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 Accounting year of the subsidiary companies- Beximco Pharma API Limited and Nuvista Pharma Limited ends on the same date as of the
Company. The newly acquired subsidiary Synovia Pharma PLC used to follow January-December accounting year. However Synovia Pharma
prepared audited financial statements for the six month ending June 30, 2022 to align its accounting year with that of the parent company. We
have audited the Financial statements of Beximco Pharma API Limited and expressed our unmodified opinion on those statements vide our report
dated October 27, 2022. The Financial Statements of Nuvista Pharma Limited and Synovia Pharma PLC were audited by A. Qasem & Co. Chartered
Accountants, who through their report dated October 13, 2022 and October 12,2022 respectively, have also expressed 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, 2022, 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 2020 and other

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.

Financial Statements
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 2020 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.
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.

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 2020 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.
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.
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 auditor’s 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.
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.

Operating Performance
The global economy, while recovering from the devastating effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, faced another setback because of the Ukraine war.
The eco-political instability affected Bangladesh as it did to many other countries around the world. The economy that was bouncing back from the
onslaught of the pandemic was severely hindered with a surge in import cost, energy crisis, sharp depreciation of domestic currency and record
high inflation.
Amidst adverse macroeconomic conditions, Nuvista Pharma showed its resilience and delivered admirable results. Our sales revenue increased by
8.95% reaching to Taka 2,802.4 million in FY 2021-22 against Taka 2,572.1 million of preceding year. The Company earned a pre-tax profit of Taka
447.9 million registering 6.3% increase over Taka 421.5 million of FY 2020-21. Net profit after tax was Taka 310.83 million in FY 2021-22 with a
moderate 3.72% growth over the comparable prior period. Earnings Per Share (EPS) and The Net Assets Value (NAV) also increased to Taka 26.45
and Taka 109.26 respectively. The Net Operating Cash Flows (NOCFPS) per share, however, decreased to Taka 20.70 (2020-21: Taka 34.76) due to
increased investment in inventories to support inventory to maintain adequate stock level.
During the year under review, we set a new milestone as we shipped our first ever export consignment to Yemen. This is a modest beginning towards
our goal to widen our market horizon. We strengthened our R&D initiatives to build a robust and innovative product pipeline. We enriched our product
portfolio introducing nine new generics, four of which were launched for the first time in Bangladesh.
Our unceasing sales and marketing efforts and focused strategies further reinforced our brand image and all of our key therapeutic segments
achieved their targeted growth.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Nuvista Pharma Limited (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30
June 2022, 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 2022, 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.
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.
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.
- 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 gives a true and fair view.
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.
(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 and returns.

Notes 30 June 2022 30 June 2021
1. Reporting entity
1.1
Nuvista Pharma Limited (“the Company”) was originally a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Organon International. The Company has
been operating in Bangladesh since 1964, with a local manufacturing facility at Tongi, Dhaka. In the post-independent Bangladesh, it was
incorporated as Organon (Bangladesh) Limited under Bangladesh Companies Act as a private limited company. Following the divestment of
Oraganon’s equity to the local management in 2006, the Company was renamed as Nuvista Pharma Limited. In 2011, the Company, through
amendments to its Memorandum and Articles of Association, became a public Limited Company under the Companies Act 1994.
In 2018, Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited, a public limited company listed with Bangladesh Stock Exchanges and AIM of London Stock
Exchange, acquired majority shareholdings in Nuvista Pharma Limited. Beximco Pharma, through this acquisition, became the immediate and
ultimate parent of Nuvista Pharma with 85.22% of Nuvista’s equity. Government of Bangladesh holds 12.92% shares of the Company while
the rest is held by other local shareholders.
1.2
The registered office of the Company is located at Plot no. 107/A, Mascot Plaza (8th floor), Sonargaon Janapath, Sector-7, Uttara C/A,
Dhaka-1230, Bangladesh.
1.3
The Company produces various pharmaceutical products including oral contraceptives, hormone, steroid, anti-histamine, anti-fibrinolytic,
gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, respiratory, vitamin & mineral supplement and women’s health products which are sold in the domestic and
international markets. The Company also provides toll manufacturing services to other pharmaceutical companies.
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.
3.2 Leases
IFRS 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Company, as a lessee, has recognized right-of-use
assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date,
plus any initial direct costs incurred.
The right of use asset is depreciated using the straight line methods from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life
of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
3.5.3 Depreciation
Depreciation is recognized 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:
Gain or loss on sale of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
as per provision of IAS 16: “Property, plant and equipment”.
3.6 Intangible assets
Intangible assets represent rights, titles and assigned trademark. Acquired intangible asset is initially capitalized at cost which includes the
purchase price and other directly attributable costs. It is subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated
impairment losses. Amortization is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets using the straight-line method over its estimated
useful life.
3.7 Impairment
3.7.1 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 recognized 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.
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 recognized for the asset in prior years.
3.9 Taxation
Tax on the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized
in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity,
in which case it is recognized in equity.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
temporary difference can be utilized. 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 realized.
3.10 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 realizable 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 realizable 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.
IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets such as measured at amortized cost, Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) and Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally
based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and the contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 replaces the previous
financial assets categories defined under IAS 39.
IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.
3.13 Provisions
A provision is recognized 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.
3.17 Standards adopted but not yet effective-IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts
A new Standard IFRS 17:Insurance Contracts, has been made effective for the reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2023. This
standard, however, has no material issue that might affect the reported financial statements of the Company.
3.19 General

The Board of Directors reviewed the financial performance of the Company for the period January- December 2021 and January-
June 2022. After due consideration of the current business status, future investment plans and the cash flow position of the

accounting needed to be aligned with that of Beximco Pharma who follows July-June Accounting Year.

from July 2022.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Synovia Pharma PLC (“the Company”), which comprise the Statement of Financial
Position as at 30 June 2022, and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement
of Cash Flows for the period from 01 Janaury 2022 to 30 June 2022, and notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at 30 June
2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year than ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs).
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company 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. The Companies Act, 1994 require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control
and risk management functions of the Company.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, 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.
As part of the audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement 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.
• 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.

December 2021.
To facilitate comparison, certain relevant balances pertaining to the previous year have been rearranged/ reclassified wherever
considered necessary to conform to current period’s presentation.
Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that probable taxable profit will be available against which the assets can be utilized.
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon
the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies. Further details on deferred taxes
are disclosed in Note 6.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023 and must be applied retrospectively.
The Company is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on the straight-line method. Land is
not depreciated. Depreciation on additions made during the period is charged from the month in which the newly acquired assets
are ready for use. The depreciation rates per annum applicable to different categories of property, plant and equipment and software
are as follows:
Valuation of brand name, consisting exclusively of products of the Company has been made under provisions and guideline of IAS 38.
In 2021 financial year, intangible asset for brand valuation has been reassessed and its useful life has been changed from indefinite
to finite useful life in accordance with IAS 8. The carrying value of brand amounting to Taka 26,578,537 will be amortized over a
remaining period of 9 years.
3.3 Leases
IFRS 16 is applied using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and
continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
The right of use asset is depreciated using the straight line methods from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of
the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right of use asset is periodically reduced by
impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted using incremental borrowing rate. SPP presents right of use assets and lease liabilities as separate captions in the
statement of financial position.
3.4 Inventories
Raw materials are valued at weighted average cost. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost and net
realizable value including allocation of production overheads that relate to bringing the inventories to their ready to sale condition.
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits, which
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial assets
Under IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) – debt investment; Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) – equity investment; or
Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (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. Company’s financial assets consists mainly of
trade and other receivables.
Financial liabilities
The company recognizes all financial liabilities on the trade date which is the date the company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. The company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged,
cancelled or expired. Financial liabilities comprise trade creditors and other financial obligations.
The Company considers the terms of the contract with the customers and its customary business practices to determine the
transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed
amounts, variable amounts, or both.
Revenue from various services rendered is recognized when invoices are raised to customers on completion of the performance
obligation of delivery of the goods or services.
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, revenue associated with the
transaction is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the year .
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can not be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized only to
the extent of the expenses recognized that are recoverable.
In accordance with the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006, every permanent worker, after completion of his probationary period of his
service in the Company, subscribes to the provident fund, unless otherwise agreed upon, in every month for a sum, and the employer
contributes to it an equal amount.
Defined contribution plan (Contribution to Workers Participation Fund and Welfare Fund)
The Company is required to provide 5% of net profit before tax after charging such expense as contribution to Workers Participation
Fund and Welfare Fund in accordance with Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up to date).
3.11 Taxation
Current tax
Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income
for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years. The applicable tax rate is 27.5% for the Company as per Finance Act, 2022.
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. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied
to the temporary differences when they are reversed, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally 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 recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary
differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Tax rate of 27.5% has been applied to calculate the deferred taxes.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and
commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, debt and equity investments
and derivative financial instruments.
c. Other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in other price, such as equity price and commodity price volatility is nil.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading
to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its
financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions. Carrying amount represents the maximum exposure
to credit risk.

The Company monitors its risk of a shortage of funds using a liquidity forecast. The Company’s objective is to maintain continuity
of funding through efficient use of working capital. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to financing
and concluded it to be low.

I am pleased to place before you the Directors’ Report and the Audited Financial Statements of Beximco Pharma API Limited for the
year ended 30 June, 2022 along with the report of the auditors thereon.
OPERATION
The Company was formed to set up API manufacturing facility at the API Industrial Park, Gajaria, Munshigang. API Industrial Park
had been set up by the Government of Bangladesh to encourage and facilitate API manufacturing in Bangladesh to reduce import
dependency and ensure availability of patented APIs after graduation of Bangladesh from LDC to developing nation status. The
Company was allotted 2 (two) plots in the API Park which are now fully developed to start construction. The volatility in the global API
market has created some uncertainty among the API manufacturers of the country. That is why we have decided to go slow cautiously
to avoid any risk. The project decision has been intentionally put on hold at this moment due to said reason.
Since there was no commercial operation, no operating expense incurred except few insignificant regulatory expense as reported in
the financial statements.

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.
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.
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 account as required by law have been kept by the company so far as it appeared from our examination of
these books and;
c)The statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (Profit and Loss
Account) dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books.
