Basis of accounting 2.1 Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BASs), Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs), the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations. 2.2 Date of authorisation The consolidated financial statements as well as separate financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2015 for publication. 3 Functional and presentational currency These financial statements are presented in Bangladesh Taka (Taka/TK/BDT), which is both functional and presentation currency of the Company. The amounts in these financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest Taka. Details of the Company's accounting policies are included in Notes 38 and 39. 4 Use of estimates and judgments In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgment, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to estimates are recognised prospectively. Annual Report 2014 Page 63 Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ended 31 December 2014 is included in the following notes: Note 7 Property, plant and equipment Note 10 Inventories Note 11 Trade and other receivables Note 17 Employee benefits Note 19 Deferred tax liabilities Note 23 Provision for tax When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: ■ Level 1 : quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ■ Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). ■ Level 3 : inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. 5 Reporting period The financial period of the companies other than the following two associates covers one year from 1 January to 31 December and is followed consistently.

This is the current account balance with ACI Logistics Limited. ACI Limited consciously made this funding to ACI Logistics as a part of prudent treasury management at Group level. ACI Limited, as a parent company, is always subject to evaluation at the consolidation level than the company level. So, through this funding ACI Limited succeeded to minimize its financing cost to a considerable level thus improving the profitability at Group level. Besides, parent funding helped ACI Logistics to minimize its financing cost. It is worth to be noted here that ACI Logistics could have borrowed this fund at its own merit while cost of fund (COF) would have been higher than the parent by almost 200 to 300 basis point. ACI Limited genuinely believes that this sort of financing should always be explored while there is an opportunity to reduce financing cost at Group level. 11.4.

Since the diluted EPS is higher than the basic EPS, the effect of dilution has created anti-dilution. So, in the group level, basic and diluted EPS for the year 2013 are same i.e. Taka 5.94. 31 Financial risk management The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments: ■ Credit risk (see (ii)) ■ Liquidity risk (see (iii)) ■ Market risk (see (iv)) (i) Risk management framework The Company's management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. (ii) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position. Page 96 Annual Report 2014 (a) Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Carrying amount In Taka Note 2014 Trade receivables* Other receivables Tender deposits Cash and cash equivalents 11(a) 11(a) 12(a) 13(a) 3,625,256,345 223,350,787 34,646,032 966,996,727 1,224,993,546 2013 3,507,450,464 183,957,640 48,223,224 801,850,966 1,034,031,830 * Trade receivables is net off of security money in Note 22(a).1.

Exposure to liquidity risk The Company aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents and other investments at amounts in excess of expected cash outflows on financial liabilities. The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables together with expected cash outflows on trade and other payables. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. a) Currency risk The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which purchases are denominated and the respective functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company is Bangladesh Taka (Taka/TK/BDT). The foreign currency in which these transactions are denominated is US Dollar (USD).

Deferred tax is not recognised for: - temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; - taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. 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 realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improve.

Page 110 Annual Report 2014 (H) Inventories Inventories except materials in transit are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operation capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Stock- in-transit represents the cost incurred up to the date of the statement of financial position for the items that were not received till to the date of reporting. Inventory losses and abnormal losses are recognized as expenses. (I) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or revaluation less accumulated depreciation. The items of property, plant and equipment were revalued in the year 2004, 2007 and 2010 by the firm of professional valuers on the basis of fair market value. When revalued assets are disposed off, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus are transferred to retained earnings. Capital work-inprogress represents the cost incurred for acquisition and / or construction of items of property, plant and equipment that were not ready for use at the end of 2014 and these are stated at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of asset. The cost of self constructed asset includes the cost of material, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the working condition for their intended use. Subsequent to initial recognition cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are charged to income statement as it is incurred. (ii) Depreciation All items of property, plant and equipment have been depreciated on straight line basis. Depreciation on additions are charged at 50% of normal rates only in the year of acquisition and no depreciation is charged in the year of disposal. Depreciation is charged at the rates varying from 2.5% to 20% depending on the estimated useful lives of assets. No depreciation is charged for land and capital work-in-progress. The Company is following this policy consistently from past years. The revalued items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated by writing off their revalued amount at the date of revaluation over their remaining estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows: In Year Building Plant and machinery Furniture and fixture Electrical and other office appliances Office machinery Vehicles 2014 40 10 10 10 5 5 2013 40 10 10 10 10 5 Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. Estimation of useful life of office equipment has been revised from 10 years to 5 years during the year 2014. Annual Report 2014 Page 111 (iii) Capitalization of borrowing costs Borrowing cost relating to acquisition of fixed assets is capitalized as per Bangladesh Accounting Standard (BAS) - 23, Borrowing costs at the weighted average cost of borrowings. However, capitalization of borrowing costs is ceased when acquisition of relevant asset is completed. (iv) Impairment The carrying amount of the entity's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets (considered as disclosed separately under respective accounting standards), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is reestimated. However, no such conditions that might be suggestive of a heightened risk of impairment of assets existed at the reporting date. (J) Intangible asset (i) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the net value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree on the date of acquisition. (ii) Software Software that is acquired by the Group, which has finite useful life, is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific assets to which it relates. (iii) Amortization Amortization is charged in the income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets other than goodwill. Amortization on additions are charged at 50% of normal rates only in the year of acquisition. Amortization is charged at the rates of 10-20% depending on the estimated useful lives of assets and no amortization is charged in the year of disposal. The estimated useful life for the current intangible asset is as follows: Software Useful life 5-10 years Normal rate 10-20 Percent Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. (K) Leased assets (i) Finance lease Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Depreciation Depreciation is charged according to the policy applicable for the owned assets of the Company. Lease payments Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. (ii) Operating lease Payments made under operating leases are recognized in income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. (L) Financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in shares and term deposit, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and interest-bearing borrowings. Page 112 Annual Report 2014 (i) Financial assets The Company initially recognises receivables and deposits issued on the date when they are originated. All other financial assets are initially recognised on the trade date. The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. The Company's financial assets comprise trade and other receivables, investment in shares and term deposit and cash and cash equivalents. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognized at original invoiced amount. Receivables are stated at netted off provision for bad and doubtful debt and written off. Provision is made in the financial statements considering the uncertainty of recovery at the date of the statement of financial position and bad debts are written off when the debts became finally irrecoverable based on assessment and judgment made by senior management of the Company. Investment in shares-other than the investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures Investment in shares are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale. Initially they are recognized at cost and subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Investment in Term Deposit The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold term deposit to maturity, and as such financial assets are classified as held to maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and all call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the statement of cash flows. (ii) Financial Liabilities The Company initially recognises financial liabilities on the transaction date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the liability. The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired. The Company's financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and interest - bearing borrowings. The Company recognises such financial liability when its contractual obligations arising from past events are certain and the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying benefits. (vi) Trade payables Trade payables are recognized at fair value. (vii) Interest-bearing borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. (viii) ACI 20% Convertible Zero Coupon Bonds (ZCB) Zero Coupon Bonds are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, ZCBs are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Annual Report 2014 Page 113 M. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effect. N. Provisions A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. O. Impairment (i) Financial assets Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes: - default or delinquency by a debtor; - restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise; - indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy; - adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers; or - observable data indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a company of financial assets. The Company considers evidence of impairment for these assets at both an individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets are individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet individually identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment is carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical information on the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends. An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. (ii) Non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs (Cash-generating units). The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Page 114 Annual Report 2014 P. Going concern During the year under review, ACI Logistics Limited, a subsidiary of ACI Limited, incurred a net loss of Tk. 1,027,288,608 making an accumulated loss at the reporting date to Tk. 4,472,869,073. The Company's current liabilities exceeded the current assets by Tk. 4,284,491,475at the reporting date. The paid up capital of the Company at the closing date was Tk. 360,000,000. Its dues to banks and finance lease Company on the same date was Tk. 2,944,147,920. The management is, however, confident that the Company will continue in operational existence for a foreseeable future on the basis of continued support from the parent Company, ACI Limited and improved trading conditions.

The paid up capital of the Company at the closing date was Tk. 40,000,000, where as its dues to Banks on the same date was Tk. 665,670,040. The management is, however, confident that the Company will continue in operational existence for a foreseeable future on the basis of continued support of the Company's banks and shareholders. In view of the continued support and assurance from the Group and major shareholders, management believes that it remains appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. Q. Contingencies Contingent liability Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. The Company discloses contingent liability in the financial statements. A provision is recognised in the period in which the recognition criteria of provision is met. Contingent asset Contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. The Company does not recognise contingent asset. R. Statement of cash flows Cash flows from operating activities are presented under direct method as per BAS 7: Statement of cash flows. S. Earnings per share (EPS) The Company and the Group (which is made up of ACI Limited and its subsidiaries and associates) present its basic earnings per share (EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company / Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. This has been shown on the face of income statement and computation of EPS is stated in note 30. T. Events after the reporting period Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Company's position at the reporting date or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material. Annual Report 2014 Page 115 40.
