Directors’ Reports
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE YEAR 2003-2004
REFERRAL:

In terms of provisions of Section 184 of the Companies Act 1994, Rule Inland the schedule thereunder) of the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and IAS- I (International Accounting Standards-l) codes as adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), it is the pleasure of the Board of Directors to submit its report to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2004 in the following paragraphs:

1. Economic 7-environmental situation:

The year under review has undergone yet another period of turbulent law and order situation with an increased number of hartal and political agitation causing great losses to the economy, especially to the corporate sector.

Though export earnings increased and recovered the losses sustained during the previous year, the public expenditure through ADP shrunk as the revised budgetary allocation was reduced substantially as a result of which the GDP growth rate fell short of the target of 5.5%.

The foreign exchange reserve increased primarily due to increased remittances from expatriate Bangladeshis. However, the foreign portfolio and direct investment flow were almost non-existent despite v various promotional steps by the government and the private sector including lowering of bank rates and re-lending rates by the Banks.

As regards the capital, and market situation, there were a few IPOS other than those of Banks which were oversubscribed a number of times, and the share price index moved up the ladder along with the increased volume of trade and capitalization. The process of dematerializing securities by CDBL is also encouraging for investors and the capital market.

2. PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR:

The pharmaceuticals sector attained a lower growth of 5SQ% only during the year 2003 as against 10.18% during the previous year and against 22.46% during the earlier year as per IMS Report.

The wide variance in the growth rate of the national pharma market may be attributed to various factors such as public expenditure on health care, natural calamities including floods, cyclones, epidemical diseases & agro-crop harvest.

The national pharma market growth and the Company during the past few years are given below:

Year

National Market Growth Rate

Company’s Growth Rate

19990.89%9.60%
200027.79%29.95%
200122.46%22.70%
200210.18%11.70%
20035.90%15.91%

The statistics given above prove that the Company has been performing at a higher rate than the national growth rate of the pharmaceutical market ensuring a continued leading position in the market.

3. OPERATIONS REVIEW:

(1) PHARMA UNIT AT PABNA:

The Company continued to upgrade the qualitative capacity of the Pabna Unit and about 90% of output was produced in this plant. The company made a capital expenditure of Tk. 77.00 million at Pabna Plant divided as follows:

  • (a) Land = 3.20
  • (b) Building/Civil Works = 15.17
  • (C) Plant Machinery = 29.08
  • (d) Other Assets = 29.55
  • Total Tk. (Million) = 77.00

As against the above capital expenditure during the year under review, an amount of Tk. 46.53 million was invested in the Pabna plant during the previous year. All Chosen investments have helped to meet the increased demand- both qualitatively and quantitatively.

(2) CHEMICAL PLANT

Capacity utilization during 2003-04 still remained lower due to the start-up of the new plant at Kaliakoir with huge operative capacity and lower initial production. The overall combined capacity mutilation of all three plants (including the chemical plant) would gradually increase over the coming years.

This is one of the most important components of the annual report template.

The Company also follow-up withdrawals from the market of all expiry dated products through’ close ‘inspection and surveillance.

Capacity Utilization (SSL):

The capacity utilization and operating profitability show improvement resulting in an increase in Net Asset Value to shareholders.

However, despite enough earnings for every share, the management has not yet considered it appropriate and opportune to declare dividend funds generated from operations by profit and depreciation have been largely utilized for repayment of loans and liabilities which, as a result, have been substantially reduced/restructured with the redemption of external debt risks.

The Net Asset Value has thereby been enhanced to the benefit of the shareholders.

The following changes took place in the position on 31-12-2003 and 31-03-2004 and 31-03-2004 being the dates of closure of the accounting year for Square Spinnings Ltd. and the Company (SPL) respectively:
