RISKFACTORS&MANAGEMENTPERCEPTIONS
The ACME Laboratories Ltd.would be subject to risk of atypical nature for similar pharmaceutical companies. The
majority of these risks are commercial and business risks that can be mitigated effectively. Before making any
investmentdecision,Investorsshouldtaketheriskfactorsintoconsideration.Suchmajorriskfactorsaredescribedin
briefasunder:

InterestRateRisk

InterestrateriskistheriskthatCompanyfacesduetounfavorablemovementintheinterestrates.Changesinthe
governments monetary policy, along with increased demand for loans/investments tend to increase the interest
rates.SuchrisesininterestratesmostlyaffectCompanieshavingfloatingrateloansorCompaniesinvestingindebt
securities.

ManagementPerception

In order to manage this risk and overcome it, the Company shall exercise prudence in its cash flow management,
supported by continued strength in sales and marketing. ACME is very careful in forecasting the prices of raw
materials and manages its costs in an effective manner. To maintain effective rate of return ACME also follow
knowledgeandinformationbasedproductsmix,soastoensurethatthedebtrepaymentsaremetonschedule,even
iftheinterestratesweretorise.

ExchangeRateRisk
Exchange rate risk occurs due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As the Company has taken foreign
currencyloan,importsmajorrawmaterialsandsomepackingmaterialsfromabroadandearnsmostoftherevenue

ifexchangeratedecreasedagainstlocalcurrencyopportunitywillbecreatedforgeneratingmoreprofit.

ManagementPerception

ACME earns some of its revenue in US dollars, thereby creating to builtup hedging scopes. Besides, in case of
significantBDTdevaluationinordertokeepthecosttominimum,appropriateandresponsiblehedgingmechanisms
may be applied. However, if the price of the US dollar appreciates too sharply against the BDT, this will be a
nationwidephenomenonexperiencedbytheentireindustry.Insuchascenario,therewillbeamarketadjustmentin
endproductprices,subjecttoapprovalofconcernedauthority.

IndustryRisk

Thepharmaceuticalindustryhaswitnessedchallengessuchasintellectualpropertyrights,ahistoricfuelpricepeak,
and material cost increase across the globe. It stands as one of the most challenging and dynamic industries to
operate as on date. Fortunately, Bangladesh is only least developed country who demonstrates significant
competencies in pharmaceuticals industry and it requires huge medicine for its present 160 million (approx.)
populationsandrequireshugequantityofmedicine.Assuch,localpharmaceuticalindustryisnotinatrouble;rather
thesaidindustryhasampleopportunitiestogrow.

ManagementPerception

As the per capita income and per person consumption of medicine is increasing over the years, management is
optimistic about growth opportunities of pharmaceutical industry in Bangladesh. The company is trying to adopt
sophisticated state of art manufacturing facilities and making efforts to catch the opportunity of regulated global
market.

LiquidityRisk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
companys approach to managing liquidity ( cash and cash equivalents) is to ensure as far as possible, that it will
always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions without
incurringunacceptablelossesorriskingdamagetothecompanysreputation.Typically,thecompanyensuresthatit

ModerateLiquidity

Liquidity position of an entity being determined and analyzed with the help of Liquidity Ratios. Better liquidity
position ensures smoother day to day operation of an entity. From the analysis of liquidity ratios, one can draw a
conclusion regarding liquidity position of any entity. Liquidity position would be satisfactory if the entity is able to
meet its current obligation when they became due for payment. Inability to pay off short term liability affects its
credibility as well as credit rating. Liquidity Ratios are Current ratio, Quick ratio and Cash and Cash equivalent to

rapid diversification and high growth in global Pharma market. It is useful to briefly look back 100 years at the
evolutionofthediseaseprocess.

Pre First World War, infectious and parasitic diseases were the most common illnesses and killers and global life
expectancywasaround44yearsofage.Inthe1920supuntilthe1960s,infectiousdiseasewerestillprevalent,butas
vaccines and more powerful antibiotics were introduced emergence of chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus,

Nowaday,thosewhodonotdieoftheabovenoteddiseases,arelikelytosufferfromsomesortofageingdisease,
such as Alzheimers and/or stroke. Alternatively, one may develop a disease associated with pollution, such as
bronchitis or asthma. The good news is however, that life expectancy has now increased to 76 years (65 years in
Bangladesh).

What this illustrates is that, disease progression has changed quite remarkably over the last 100 years, and the
pharmaceuticalindustryhashadtochangeitsapproachtodiseasesasaresultofthat.

Pharma market growth over the last couple of decades has been fuelled by demographics and ever increasing an

3.0 PHARMACEUTICALS INDUSTRY PREVIEW

The pharmaceutical sector in Bangladesh, one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy,
is poised to transform the country into a global hub of quality medicines. The $ 1450 million
sector with 258manufacturers is continuously expanding with new products. Beginning in the
1950s, a few multinationals and local entrepreneurs set up manufacturing facilities in the then
East Pakistan. Now there are 258 small, medium and large local and multinational
pharmaceutical companies operating in Bangladesh. Of the companies, the leading market
Prospective industry players (Square, Beximco, Eskayef, Incepta, ACME, Opsonin, Renata, ACI, Aristopharma Ltd
and Drug International) take up nearly 75 percent of the total market. Out of 258companies,
200 have their own manufacturing facilities of which five are multinationals.

The Pharmaceutical Industry in Bangladesh is paying the second largest revenue to the
Government's exchequer. Currently, the market size of the local pharmaceutical industry is
around Tk. 11,972 crore. Bangladesh has ample scope for its pharmaceutical companies to
become one of the most competitive players in global market in the days to come due to the
availability of cheap manpower and utility services.

The pharmaceutical industries of Bangladesh manufacture about 8,000 generic drugs under
26,813 registered brands in different dosages and strengths. The government also controls
the price of 209 generic drugs in specified dosage forms along with imported medicines and
41 APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) produced in the country. Although the
pharmaceutical industry of Bangladesh has advanced much, but backward linkage of this
industry is not very strong and sufficient. The industry has succeeded in securing its place in
the world market in a very short span of time, but almost all of its necessary raw materials
need to be imported from abroad. The sector is gradually getting involved in producing of APIs
(Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients). Twenty-one different companies now locally manufacture
41 APIs. However, compared to huge local demand, more API industries need to be set up.
The API Park will inject fresh momentum into the pharmaceutical industry.

Besides this, some top edge companies already started producing anti-cancer and
antiretroviral drugs previously being imported from abroad. The pharmaceutical market size
as per BMI is: Tk.138.81 billion (US$1.78 billion) in 2013 and Tk.154.62 billion (US$1.99
billion) in 2014; +11.4 per cent in local currency and +11.9 per cent in US dollars.
Among the 258 licensed pharmaceutical companies, almost 94 percent of pharma business is
controlled by 30 companies and almost 98.0 percent of the over BDT 11,758Crore pharma
market of the country is catered by a total of 50 companies. It is indeed appreciable that after
meeting 97.0 percent of the local demand, we are presently exporting to about 87
destinations of the world including stringently regulated markets in Europe along with the mild
regulated countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Sri Lanka and 49 LDCs in Asia
pacific and Africa.

The number of exporting firms ranged from 35 to 47, according to available sources. Our
yearly pharmaceutical exports are Tk.7.33 billion in 2014 (+19.0 over 2013) against Tk.6.20
billion in 2013 (+15 per cent over 2012).
The LDC's have been enjoying a patent-free regime till 2016 as per WTO/TRIPS agreement.
As per latest development, WTO member states have to legislate and enforce the minimum
standards for the protection of intellectual property such as copyrights, patents, designs,
trademarks. As such local pharmaceutical manufacturers will have to cease production,
distribution and sale of medicines that come under this intellectual property rights agreement
as elsewhere in the world. But WTO could not specify the number of products classified under
patent protection rights that may be 25.0 per cent of the total branded generics and this will
initiate a major change in the industry scenario. First, price control will be lifted. Producers
will have to pay for their patented products, as well as license fees. But stipulated agreement
clauses for export of patented products may create problems, as Bangladesh cannot export
patented products without patent owners' approval, which will be more costly. In addition,
foreign firms will get free access to local market, and multinationals can produce several
products in Bangladesh that are not allowed now.
However, it may be noted that 75 per cent of the drugs in the WHO list are not subject to
patent protection. And many of the products in Bangladesh are generics, and thus not subject
to WTO patent protection jurisdictions. However, costs of licensing fees, impeded access to
export markets, withdrawal of local protection may cause a considerable hike in import costs.
This is why, forward-looking local drug manufacturers will have to adapt their product
portfolio as required or else suffer a steep drop-off in sales. However, the global 'patent cliff'
may mitigate this to some extent if we could develop reverse engineering mechanism like
India/China along with internationally accredited bio-equivalence test laboratories in
Bangladesh to comply with the original kinetics and dynamics of pharmaceutical products
under the drug regulatory acts.

As implementation of the much dreaded TRIPS (Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of


Intellectual Property Rights) has been haunting the global pharmaceutical industries for years,
twenty drugs, including cholesterol-lowering Atorvastatin Lipitor of Pfizer, blockbuster blood
thinner Plavix of Bristol-Myers and Sanofi, Eli Lilly's atypical antipsychotic Zyprexa and
Takeda's diabetes medication Actos will become generic drugs in the years ahead.

By the year 2016, the world's best-selling drugs, with about $255.0 billion in global annual
sales, are set to go off-patent, as recent data from London-based research firm Evaluate
Pharma has revealed. Once the blockbusters lose their patent protection, lower-price generics
are expected to decimate as much as 90.0 per cent of the sales of innovator companies.

Under the changing circumstances, leading pharma companies will have to look for new ways
and strategies to fill the gap instead of relying on traditional patent blockbuster models. All
industry players will have to embrace the generic market model as an increasingly important
part of the overall pharmaceutical lifecycle in conformity with the economies of LDCs like
Bangladesh.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (X) 1.50 1.37
Interest Service Coverage Ratio (X) 2.40 2.55

Regular loan repayment The loan payment history of the company has been found to be good. The creditworthiness of
history the company is also supported by its debt servicing capacity as well as interest coverage
capability. Both debt service coverage ratio and interest service coverage ratio of ALL were
found to be good. The Debt service coverage ratio stood at1.50 times in FY2014-2015 against
1.37 times in FY2013-2014 and interest coverage ratio stood at 2.40 times in FY2014-15
against 2.55 times in FY2013-14.

11.0 RISK ANALYSIS

11.1 Operational & Maintenance Risk


The company has reduced operational and maintenance risk through establishment of in-
house expertise or experienced workforce for its factory operation and head office
management (including departmental management). The management set up is matured and
is running under the direct leadership of the Managing Director. The factory plants and
machineries are automated and are run by educated and skilled work forces. The company
has arranged adequate safety measures to minimize/avoid accidents.
11.2 Quality Control Risk
Pharmaceutical products are usually exposed to high quality control risk. Each product is
required to be marketed through a stringent compliance procedure. Each product is required
to have the flexibility to cope with the new regulations and also continuous quality
improvement capacity to face the global demand. Especially local market is highly competitive
due to presence of both quality local producers and many global giants. Any deviation from
the standard may result in serious market image crisis and might also create regulatory
barrier. By considering this, CRISL views that, ALL, like other players in the industry, is
exposed to quality control risk.

11.3 Raw Material Supply Risk


Pharmaceuticals industry in Bangladesh is fully dependent on imported raw materials as
backward linkage is yet to be developed. To mitigate the supplies risk due to single supplier
dependency, ALL imports raw material from various countries and also from local vendors. It
has its own quality assurance policy in line with the international standard. However, import
based supplies are likely to be affected by any uncontrollable event or country risk.

11.4 Power Supply Risk


ALL has good power supply arrangement to ensure un-interrupted production. Power supply is
facilitated by internally installed diesel and gas burn generator to produce electricity. ALL
seems to be at a favorable position in this regard.

11.5 Competition Risk


Pharmaceutical products are usually exposed to high market risk. Local market is highly
competitive due to presence of both quality local producers and many global giants. ALL is in
continuous process to diverse market both locally and internationally. The companys present
thrust towards foreign buyers may assist it to minimize product liability/over production risk;
rather it will induce the company to do more expansion of existing production capacity
including diversification of product line.

THE ACME LABORATORIES LIMITED

11.6 Foreign Exchange Risk


The company is also at foreign exchange risk as it pays to foreign suppliers in foreign
currency for raw materials. When value of foreign currency rises, it has to spend more
Bangladeshi currency to procure raw material, affecting cost of production, growth of
sales/revenue and overall profitability. In the recent years, the exchange rates of $US and
Euro are volatile and thus the company is exposed to foreign currency risk.

11.7 TRIPS Agreement Expiration Risk


With the incorporation of Doha Ministerial Declaration of 14 March, 2001 in the TRIPS
Guidelines, the least developed countries (LDC) were given exemption from pharmaceutical
product patents until 2016. Due to TRIPS relaxation, Bangladesh can produce drugs without
patent or license cost up to 2016. If the present relaxation of TRIPS is withdrawn after 2016,
producers will have to pay more for patented products as well as license fees. Billions in
revenues will be lost due to patent expiry and price control will be lifted. CRISL views that,
ALL, like other players in the industry, is exposed to TRIPS expiration risk.

13.0 PROSPECTS

Pharmaceutical industry is considered to be a highly competitive market in Bangladesh due to


presence of both multinational giant companies as well as international standard local
companies. Once local companies were primarily in back end positions due to technically
disadvantageous production facilities and expertise but with the passage of time local
pharmacists have built their expertise to capture the global standard. Besides, local
companies have been enjoying Government support and cheap labor cost in this sector. The
above position has reversed the dependency on foreign companies to local companies and
now almost 96% of the requirements are met by the local pharmaceutical companies. ALL, as
one of the leading pharmaceutical companies, has contributed significantly in developing this
sector as well as changed the market position. It has been continuously adapting most recent
state of the art sophisticated cutting-edge technology and expanding its horizons vertically as
well as horizontally. The Company perpetually has been pursuing proven best corporate
practices. The product range of ALL includes more than 700 diversified products. The
company developed its value with its long range of quality products in local and export
market. CRISL believes that, good capital base, sound infrastructural facilities, strong Group
image and experience sponsor will assist the Company to achieve its position as the leader of
the sector and would earn much needed foreign exchange through enhanced export for the
country in future.

5.25 Risk Management


Operational Risk
ACME relies on suppliers for ingredients and various third parties for certain manufacturing-related services
to produce material that meets appropriate content, quality and stability standards of the company products
and, after approval it is being released for commercial distribution. ACME may not be able to produce its
drug substance or drug product to appropriate standards without the required supports from its suppliers
and vendors. Again if it fails to maintain important manufacturing and service relationships, may not find a
replacement supplier or required vendor or develop companys own capabilities which could delay or impair
companys ability to obtain regulatory approval for its products and substantially increase companys costs
or deplete profit margins, if any.
Management Perception
ACME has a good number of vendors and for each and every ingredients and services, the company have more
than one approved vendors. It uses to conduct vendor audit and its concerned professionals are very conscious
regarding the vendor issue. Further, none of the supplier accounts for significant amount of total purchases.
Industry Risks
The pharmaceutical industry has witnessed challenges such as intellectual property rights, a historic fuel
price peak, and material cost increase across the globe. It stands as one of the most challenging and dynamic
industries to operate as on date. Fortunately, Bangladesh is only least developed country who demonstrates
significant competencies in pharmaceuticals industry and it requires huge medicine for its present 160

152
Prospectus of ACME

million (approx.) population and requires huge quantity of medicine. As such, local pharmaceutical industry is
not in a trouble, rather the said industry has ample opportunities to grow.
Management Perception
As the per capita income and per person consumption of medicine is increasing over the years, management
is optimistic about growth opportunities of pharmaceutical industry in Bangladesh. The company is trying to
adopt sophisticated state of art manufacturing facilities and making efforts to catch the opportunity of regulated
global market.
Market Risks
Market risk refers to the risk of adverse market conditions affecting the sales and profitability of the Company.
Mostly, the risk arises from falling demand for the pharmaceutical products which would harm the performance
of the Company. On the other hand, strong marketing and brand management would help the Company increase
their customer base.
Management Perception
The products of pharmaceuticals industry are of basic nature and have a wide market as they are giving a good
market share to The ACME Laboratories Limited at present. Hence, it will hardly be the case that there will be a
lack of demand for the products. Moreover, as explained earlier, the pharmaceuticals industry is only increasing
year-on-year and ACME is following fool-proof scientific integrated marketing policy. Hence, has marginal
probability for shrinkage.
Currency risk
Exchange rate risk occurs due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As the Company has taken foreign
currency loan, imports major raw materials and some packing materials from abroad and earns most of the
revenue in local currency, unfavourable volatility or fluctuation may affect the profitability of the Company. On
the other hand, if exchange rate decreased against local currency opportunity will be created for generating
more profit.
Management Perception
ACME earns some of its revenue in US dollars, thereby creating to built-up hedging scopes. Besides, in case
of significant BDT devaluation in order to keep the cost to minimum, appropriate and responsible hedging
mechanisms may be applied. However, if the price of the US dollar appreciates too sharply against the BDT, this
will be a nationwide phenomenon experienced by the entire industry. In such a scenario, there will be a market
adjustment in end product prices, subject to approval of concerned authority.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that Company faces due to unfavourable movement in the interest rates. Changes
in the governments monetary policy, along with increased demand for loans/investments tend to increase
the interest rates. Such rises in interest rates mostly affect Companies having floating rate loans or Companies
investing in debt securities.
Management Perception
In order to manage this risk and overcome it, the Company shall exercise prudence in its cash flow management,
supported by continued strength in sales and marketing. ACME is very careful in forecasting the prices of raw
materials and manages its costs in an effective manner. To maintain effective rate of return ACME also follow
knowledge and information based products mix, so as to ensure that the debt repayments are met on schedule,
even if the interest rates were to rise.

Technology Related Risks Potential


Pharmaceutical industry is dynamic nature and heavily driven by technology. Hence, technology always plays a
vital role here. Adaptation of better technology can help to gain remarkable competencies that certainly create
competitive advantages like increase productivity; reduce costs, better perception of customers. Firms are
exposed to technology risks when there are better technologies available in the market than the one used by the
Company which may cause operational inefficiency.
Management Perception
As one of the leading pharmaceutical firm of the country, there are clear intent regarding adaptation of
technology here and the management is aware of technological changes and always trying to adopt new
technology according to its needs. Furthermore, routine and proper maintenance of the equipment carried out
by the Company ensures longer service life for the existing equipment and facilities. Finally, ACME is committed
to hold its leading edge and maintaining quality and brand image.
Potential or Existing Government Regulations
The Company operates under the Drugs Ordinance 1982, Companies Act 1994, Directorate General of Drug
Administration (DGDA) Regulations, Income Tax Ordinance 1984, Income Tax Rules 1984, Customs Act 1969,
Value Added Tax (VAT) Act 1991, Value Added Tax (VAT) Rules 1991 and other rules and regulations of the country.
Any abrupt changes of the policies made by the regulatory authorities may adversely affect the business of the
Company.
Management Perception
Since product of pharmaceuticals industry is essential one for lives and it is an import substitute industry and
value addition is remarkable, we see the government regulations are mostly investment friendly for this sector
particularly. As ACME is one of the top ranking pharmaceutical companies of the country, it is doing business
following all the rules and regulations. Change in regulations will bring changed strategies for doing the business
by the dynamic management of the Company. Besides this, many of the patented drugs/molecules will be off
patented and it will be an opportunity for the manufacturer to freely manufacture and distribute without any
restriction.
Potential Changes in Global and National Policies
Changes of Government policies may affect business. 49 LDCs including Bangladesh are not required to provide
patent protection, give exclusive marketing rights to companies with patented products or comply with the
mailbox program create a process to receive complaints about pharmaceutical product patent right violations
until 2016. While it is possible that the deadline may be extended, its implementation in 2016 will have significant
impact on the LDC who have not implemented the TRIPS standards.
Management Perception
Pharmaceuticals, over the years have been proved as a thrust sector for the country growing at a considerable pace
each year. Bangladesh, through its international affiliates and other 48 LDCs shall definitely lobby for extension
of this deadline. In addition, ACME is continuously trying to adopt right technology and build infrastructure to
meet TRIPS standards.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by
failing to discharge on obligation. Credit risk information helps users of financial statements asses the credit
quality of the entitys financial assets and level and sources of impairment loss. Management has a credit policy
in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis. As at 3oth June 2014 substantial part of

154
Prospectus of ACME

the receivables are subject to insignificant credit risk. Risk exposures from other financial assets i.e. Cash
at bank and other external receivables are nominal.
Management Perception
To mitigate the credit risk the management of the company follows robust credit control and collections
policies. The company has dedicated credit collections team.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The companys approach to managing liquidity ( cash and cash equivalents) is to ensure as far as
possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under both normal
and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the companys
reputation. Typically, the company ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalent to meet expected
operational expenses including financial obligations through preparation of the cash flow forecast with
due consideration of time line of payment of the financial obligation and accordingly arrange for sufficient
fund to make the expected payment within due date. In extreme stressed conditions the company may
get support from the related company in the form of short term financing.
Management Perception
Effective liquidity risk management requires both a top-down and a bottom-up approach. Strategy,
principles and objectives are set at board and management levels. ACME conducts liquidity management
in a manner that maintains stability and flexibility in day-to-day funding activities. Our liquidity risk
management starts by managing daily payment of cheques, daily cash inflow and outflow, maturity of
deposits and our access to other funding sources as and when required.

With reference to the letter no. BSEC/CI/BB-03/2014/177; dated: May 11, 2015 of Bangladesh Securities and
Exchange Commission and subsequent follow-up letter dated: May 11, 2015 issued by the Company, we have a
pleasure to provide hereunder the additional disclosures relating to the Financial Statements of The ACME
Laboratories Ltd. for the year ended 30 June 2014:

Query No. 01
Whether the company has complied with the provisions of Securities and Exchange Rules, 1987;

Auditors Disclosure:
Normally in each and every report of the public listed company we mention particularly the phrase BSEC rules 1987.
But how this has been slipped off in this case is a matter of our concern also. However, we appreciate your
observation regarding missing of this particular phrase. We understand that this has been an inadvertent mistake on
our Part. In our opinion, the financial statements of the Company as at 30th June 2014 have been prepared in
accordance with BAS/BFRS and complying with the provision of BSEC Rules 1987.

Query No. 02
Mention amount of Income Tax paid in the Statement of Cash Flows;

Auditors Disclosure:

The details breakup of Income Tax paid during the year amounting Tk. 382,397,340 shown in Statement of Cash Flows
is presented for your kind reference:

AIT collected by Customs Authority 95,433,002
AIT collected by Bank from Export Bills 1,948,536
AIT deducted against supply of Medicine 9,809,089
AIT collected by BRTA Authority 2,676,500
AIT deducted by bank against Interest on FDR's 10,543,922
Total cash payment during the year 382,397,340

Query No. 03

In the Statement of Cash Flows it shows that loan to ACMUNIO International Limited is Tk. 25,130,552. However,
the Company in the draft prospectus discloses that advance was given to ACMUNIO International Limited. Explain
this inconsistency;

Auditors Disclosure:

The ACMUNIO International Limited manufactures high quality safety syringes. Such syringes are both used and
marketed by The ACME Laboratories Limited. Taking into consideration the very nature of health hazard free product,
the Company provided financial assistance in the form of advance in order to ensure uninterrupted and better quality
supply.
The said Advance was inadvertently termed as Loan at Statement of Cash Flows.

Query No. 04

Explain the Predecessor Value Method as disclosed in note 1;

Auditors Disclosure:

In absence of any guideline in the BFRS-3 Business Combination for incorporation of balances of the taken over
company under common control, it requires that entities should develop an accounting policy for themselves while
facing this kind of situation.

The Predecessor Values Method is one of the accounting policies which have been usually chosen by the entities.
Financial statements under this method are required to be prepared using "Predecessor's Book Values" without any
step upto fair values. It is likely to be a difference between any consideration given and the aggregate book value of
the assets and liabilities (as of the date of transaction) of the acquired entity. This difference is recorded as an
adjustment to Equity which may be recorded in retained earnings or as a separate Reserve.

The ACME Laboratories Limited followed the Predecessor Value Method for amalgamation of its subsidiary, The
ACME Specialized Pharmaceuticals Limited, with it and details of the said transactions have been shown in Statement
of Changes in Equity.

Query No. 05
Explain the reason of showing same value of Investment Property as shown in note 9 of the audited report 30
June 2014;

Auditors Disclosure:

The Company has made revaluation based on the valuation reportissued by the independent valuer namely MASIH
MUHITH HAQUE & CO, Chartered Accountants, on every reporting date. The aforesaid valuation report determined
the same value as incorporated in the Financial Statements as at 30 June 2014. Since the valuer did not consider any
gain or loss attributable to that of the property under reference, there did not appear any gain or loss to that effect
which is noted in Paragraph 35 of Bangladesh Accounting Standard 40 Investment Property.

Query No. 06
Provide names, addresses and amount of confirmation of balances of Trade Receivable of more than 1 (one) crore
as shown in note 11;

Auditors Disclosure:

There do not exist any party under Trade Receivable from whom an amount of Tk. 1 (One) crore and above is
receivable to the company. As such, providing information regarding names, addresses and amount is not applicable.

194
Prospectus of ACME

Query No. 07
State whether you have obtained balance confirmation certificates from all the parties of trade receivable. If not,
requested to collect the balance confirmation certificates from who have more than 1 (one) crore trade receivable
involved in note 11;

Auditors Disclosure:

As per our normal professional practice, we issue letters to parties selected on random sample basis and procure
confirmation to that affects. In the audit under reference, we could receive confirmation from certain parties which
are kept in our audit file. Normally, the practice of replying balance confirmation letter sent to the partiesin general is
very poor.

However, save for the export, there is no single party in the list of Trade Receivable exceeding Tk. 5 (five) Lacs.
Requirement of fresh confirmation is not applicable from the parties, as none of them owes to the company an
amount Tk. 1(One) crore and more.

Query No. 08
Reason of Receivable from Sinha Printers Limited and subsequent status thereon;

Auditors Disclosure:

Sinha Printers Limited, a primary source for supplier of packing materials, used to receive some common services and
others from The ACME Laboratories Limited, which appeared as receivable from Sinha Printers Limited in the financial
statement. Balance of such receivable as at 30 June 2014 stood at Tk. 37,257,581 which was subsequently adjusted
against Trade Payable owing to Sinha Printers Limited by The ACME Laboratories Limited.

Query No. 09
Non-movement of Motor Cycle Advance within 1 year, if any;

Auditors Disclosure:

For Smooth and quick movement of Medical Representatives the company provides Motor Cycle Advance on
realizable basis against salary and other allowances.

Because of revolving in nature and the easy rate of realization against a significant amount of advance the movement
of advance shows a slow recovery trend. However, there is no event of non-movement of said advance within 1 year.

Statement Regarding Fluctuation of Net Assets Value (NAV)

There are two reasons behind this significant change of Net Assets Value (NAV) per share. Firstly, during the
financial year 2010-11 the Company issued 10,600,000 Ordinary Shares @ Tk. 100 each as stock dividend.
Consequently, number of Ordinary Shares increased from 1000,000 to 11,600,000. Secondly, the Company
changed the denomination of face value of Ordinary Shares from Tk. 100 each to Tk. 10 each. As a result, again
number of Ordinary Shares had increased from 11,600,000 to 116,000,000.

Due to aforesaid events, as at 30 June 2011 NAV per share stood Tk. 50.21 which was Tk. 1,209.56 as at 30 June
2010 considering face value per share Tk. 100, if we consider face value per share Tk. 10, NAV as at 30 June 2010
would stand Tk. 120.956 per share. After that, in the way of wealth maximization NAV per share gradually
increased and stood Tk. 66.16 as at 30 June 2014.
