54 Capital Adequacy Capital adequacy symbolizes the financial strength and stability of a bank. It limits the ceiling up to which banks can expand their business in terms of risk-weighted assets. Like all commercial institutions, banks too consistently look at the way of expanding their operations by acquiring property, plant and equipment and shifting of branches to better commercial areas, in addition to mobilizing deposits, providing loans and investing in other assets. Regulatory capital requirements are therefore necessary to prevent banks from expanding beyond their ability to FixedFixed Assets GrowthGrowth Crore Taka manage (overtrading), to improve the quality of bank’s assets, to leverage their growth and to lead to higher earnings on assets. The Bank keeps a careful check on its adequacy ratio which is evident from the following:

56 Economic Impact Report

The Bank’s overall objective is to deliver optimum value to our depositors, employees, shareholders and our business strategy is to gear towards achieving this. This section covers the value we deliver to our shareholders and the nation at large.

The Bank’s policy has been to deliver best possible value in a manner that is consistent with the highest level of fairness and transparency. For the Bank, it has not been a case of building financial value and increasing profit at any cost, but rather participating in a process of creating value through fair and ethical means. Building sustainable value of all stakeholders is an important goal of the Bank.

Maintaining capital adequacy

Capital adequacy symbolizes the financial strength and stability of a bank. It limits the extent up to which a bank can expand its business in terms of risk-weighted assets. Like all commercial institutions, banks too constantly look at ways of expanding their operations by acquiring property, plant & equipment, opening branches, in addition to mobilizing loans and investing in other income generating assets.

Regulatory capital requirements are, therefore, necessary to prevent banks from expanding beyond their ability to manage (over-trading), to improve the quality of bank’s assets, to control the ability of bank’s leverage to their growth and to lead to higher earnings on assets, leading to peace of mind of all the stakeholders. The Bank keeps a careful check on its capital adequacy ratio.

Maintaining liquidity

The liquidity policy of the Bank has always been to carry a positive mismatch in the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in the 1 to 30 days category. ABL’s liquidity remained at optimum level during the year. The liquid assets ratio stood at 43 percent (required 19 percent of total demand & time deposits) in December 2013.

Payment of dividends

The dividend policy of the Bank has always been to pay a decent dividend to its shareholders while plugging back sufficient profits to fund growth and capital adequacy requirements. As a result of this prudent dividend policy, the Bank has been able to build up its shareholders’ fund base to satisfactory level.

Market share

As on 31st December 2013, the Bank holds 4.26 percent of the total loans and advances, 6 percent of deposit balance, 5.96 percent of import and 3.46 percent of export of all banks of Bangladesh. Foreign remittance is 11.76 percent of total national remittance figure.

Disclosure Under Basel II

Annual Report 2013 t 69 Disclosure Under Basel-II Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures Under Pillar-III of Risk Based Capital Adequacy as of 31st December 2013

Banks of Bangladesh are maintaining capital since 1996 on the basis of Risk Weighted Assets in line with the BASEL Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) capital framework published in 1988. To cope with the International best practices and to make the banks capital more risk sensitive as well as more shock resilient, Bangladesh Bank issued Guidelines for Risk Based Capital Adequacy for Banks (Revised Regulatory Framework in line with BASEL-II) that came into effect from January 2010.

These disclosures under pillar III of BASEL II are made following revised Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) for Banks issued vide BRPD circular No. 20, dated December 29, 2009. These Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures are intended to the complement of Minimum Capital Requirement ( MCR) under pillar-I and Supervisory Review Process (SRP) under Pillar-II of BASEL II. ABL has formed a Supervisory Review Process (SRP) team to arrange the dialogue with the Supervisory Review Evaluation Process (SREP) team of Bangladsh Bank for measuring the adequate capital requirement.

The Basel II principle stands on the following three pillars:

Pillar-I : Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR)

Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) is to be maintained by the banks to deal with credit, market and operational risk as a regulatory requirement.

Pillar-II: Supervisory Review Process (SRP)

The key principle of SRP is that banks have a process for assessing overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital at an adequate level. The assessment of adequate capital would be the outcome of the dialogue between the banks’ SRP and Bangladesh Bank’s SREP team..

Pillar-III: Market Discipline

The purpose of Market Discipline in the Revised Capital Adequacy Framework is to meet the minimum capital requirement and the supervisory review process. The aim of introducing Market Discipline in the revised capital framework is to establish more transparent and more disciplined financial market so that stakeholders can assess the position of a bank regarding holding of assets and to identify the risks relating to the assets and capital adequacy to meet probable loss of assets.

The guidelines have been devised to make the regulatory requirements more appropriate and also to assist the banks to follow the instructions more efficiently for smooth implementation of the Basel II framework in the banking sector. The major highlights of the Bangladesh Bank’s regulations in this regard are: a) To maintain capital adequacy ratio (CAR) at a minimum of 10 percent of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA). b) To adopt the Standardized Approach for credit risk . c) To adopt Standardized (Rule Based) Approach for market risk. d) To adopt Basic Indicator Approach for operational risk. e) To submit the returns to Bangladesh Bank on a quarterly basis.

5. Equities: Disclosures for Banking Book Positions

Qualitative Disclosures a) The general qualitative disclosure requirement with respect to equity risk, including:

• Differentiation between holdings on which capital gains are expected and those taken under other objectives including for relationship and strategic reasons ; ABL has considerable investment in equity shares of various companies and mutual funds and has active participation in the secondary market. Board, Executive and Investment committee oversee the management of investment portfolio and its associated risk to which the Bank may be exposed. In the investment process, ABL strictly follows the internal policies and procedures put into place in this respect. ABL also holds unquoted equities intent of which is not trading and the same are shown as banking book asset in the balance sheet. As these securities are not quoted or traded in the bourses, they are shown in the balance sheet at cost price and no revaluation reserve has been created against these equities.

The equity markets are traditionally volatile with a high risk, high- returns profile. In an uncertain market place like the present, investors cannot afford to place all hope in only one product. Therefore, it is very important to protect the total investment value by means of diversification.

Annual Report 2013 t 77 • Equity holdings in the banking book are recorded in the books of accounts at cost price.

Quantitative Disclosures

a) Value of investments disclosed in the balance sheet, as well as the fair value of those investments; for quoted securities, a comparison to publicly quoted share values where the share price is materially different from fair value.

Provisions are kept against publicly quoted shares where the share price is materially different from fair value which is negative. However, no unrealized gain from publicly quoted share is accounted for. Only realized gain is accounted for in case of publicly quoted shares.

c) The cumulative realized gains (losses) arising from sales and liquidations in the reporting period.

d) • Total unrealized gains (losses)

• Total latent revaluation gains (losses)

• Any amounts of the above included in Tier-2 capital.

e) Capital requirements broken down by appropriate equity groupings, consistent with the banks methodology, as well as the aggregate amounts and the type of equity investments subject to any supervisory provisions regarding regulatory capital requirements. TK. 122.94 crore (Investment in unquoted share Tk. 983.51 Crore × 1.25 Risk weight × 10% Capital requirement) has been assessed against unquoted equity holdings and shown in MCR.

6. Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB)

Qualitative Disclosures

a) The general qualitative disclosure requirement including the nature of IRRBB and key assumptions, including loan pre-payments and behavior of non-maturity deposits, and frequency of IRRBB measurement.

Interest rate risk in the banking book arises from mismatches between the future yield of assets and their funding costs. Interest rate risk is the potential that the value of the on- balance sheet and the off-balance sheet positions of the Bank would be negatively affected with the change in the interest rates. Changes in interest rates also affect the underlying value of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments because the economic value of future cash flow changes when interest rate changes. Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) monitors the interest rate movement on a regular basis.

ABL measures the Interest Rate Risk by calculating duration gap i.e. positive duration gap which affects bank’s profitability adversely with the increase of interest rate and negative duration gap which increases the Bank’s profitability with the going down of interest rate.

ABL discusses the interest rate issue in its ALCOM meeting on monthly basis. In addition, ABL assesses the interest rate risk using simple duration analysis as per the formula given by Bangladesh Bank in its guidelines on stress testing.

For change in interest rates, currently, ABL is more risk sensible for its Assets comparable to its Liabilities.

The Bank is on a continuous process of re-structuring in its assets and liabilities to make a balance between them and to bring the situation back in its favor incase of any change in interest rate.

Quantitative Disclosures

b) The increase (decline) in earnings or economic value (or relevant measure taken by the management) for upward and downward rate shocks according to management’s method for measuring IRRBB, broken down by currency (as relevant).

78 The Bank has been using ‘Stress Testing’ based on guidelines published by Bangladesh Bank to determine the following:

1) Impact on earnings and

2) Impact on Capital requirements.

7. Market Risk

Qualitative Disclosures

(a) Views of the Board of Directors (BOD) on trading/investment activities.

Market risk is the possibility of losing assets in balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions arising out of volatility in market variables i.e. interest rate, exchange rate and price. The BOD of the Bank views the ‘Market Risk’ as the risk to the bank’s earnings and capital due to changes in the market level of interest rates of securities, foreign exchange and equities as well as the volatilities of those changes. Market Risk Management provides a comprehensive and dynamic framework for measuring, monitoring and managing interest rate, foreign exchange as well as equity, commodity price risk of a bank that needs to be closely integrated with the Bank’s business strategy.

Methods used to measure market risk:

The Bank uses the standardized (Rule Based) approach to calculate market risk for trading book exposures.

Market Risk Management system:

Decision taken in the monthly meeting of Core Risk Management and ALCOM is an important tool for managing market risk. ALCOM is in place in the Bank to administer the system.

Policies and processes for mitigating market risk:

The only mitigation tool that the Bank uses is the ‘Marking to Market’ for mitigating market risk. Besides, a set risk/ loss tolerance level is in place to mitigate market risk.

8. Operational risk

Qualitative Disclosures

(a) Views of BOD on system to reduce Operational Risk

The Board of Directors of the Bank considers, Operational Risk as the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, external causes, fraud, unauthorized activities, error, omission, inefficiency, systems failure or external events. Audit Committee of the Board directly oversees the activities of internal control and compliances aiming to check all types of lapses and irregularities inherent in operational activities of the Bank and thereby may create a notable downfall risk for the Bank.

Annual Report 2013 t 79 Performance gap of executives and staffs:

Performance goals are most often attained by executives and staffs with a few exception .

Potential external events:

ABL, as a state owned commercial bank, is exposed to ‘directed loans’ as the major external event.

Policies and processes for mitigating operational risk:

ABL manages this risk through a chain based processes which are documented, authorized and independent.

Transactions, events etc. that are taking place at the operational level monitored and reported.

If deviations are found, corrective actions are taken to bring the deviation back into the track.

An MIS is in place and is used to identify record and to assess any kind of operational risk and to generate appropriate regular management reporting.

Since inefficiency is one of the root causes of operational risk, the Bank trains its operational staffs on regular basis to make them more effective and efficient for mitigating operational risks. Operational Risk Management Framework has been designed to provide a sound and well-controlled operational environment and thereby mitigate the degree of operational risk.

Approach for calculating capital charge for operational risk: The Bank uses the Basic Indicator Approach to calculate the capital requirement of its operational risk.

80 Corporate Social Responsibility

Annual Report 2013 t 81 Corporate Social Responsibility

The role of business, in worldwide and especially in the developing countries, has evolved over the last few decades from classical ‘profit maximizing’ approach to a ‘social responsible’ approach. There are many reasons for shifting the role of business from classical concept to a social responsible approach. Enterprises create wealth and job opportunities for the society and on the other hand, they pollute and destroy environment and ecology with the devastating impact on human health and bio-diversity worldwide. The concept of social responsibility of a company is recent phenomenon but many observers agree that the globalization has spurred its growth and prominence.

Primarily Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) starts with the consideration of social implications by any corporate body which is ultimately reflected through its initiatives towards betterment of the disadvantaged peoples ofa society. As such in broadly defining, CSR refers to the voluntary role of business towards building a better society and cleaner environment beyond its financial commitments and regulatory obligations. Considering importance of CSR, Bangladesh Bank since June 2008 has officially started encouraging towards mainstreaming CSR in banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh. As a stakeholder of the society, Agrani Bank Limited is keen to augment CSR activities gradually in the days to come.

Agrani Bank Limited passionately believes that a better society is fundamental precondition for a better business environment. Nevertheless, CSR is viewed as one of the core corporate values of the Bank. In its millennium summit held at the UN Head Quarters, New York, USA in 2000; the United Nations set eight goals popularly known as Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), such as: i) eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, ii) achieve universal primary education, iii) promote gender equality & empower women, iv) reduce child mortality, v) improve maternal health, vi) combat HIV/ AIDS, Malaria and other diseases, vii) ensure environmental sustainability and viii) develop a global partnership for development. Bangladesh is one of the signatories to achieve those goals by 2015. As such, ABL has aligned her CSR activities partially with those goals.

82 Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute towards social development through its CSR program. ABL’s ethical standard is not only meant for maximising profit, rather it’s vision is to build up a society where human dignity and rights receive the highest consideration and evaluation. Bank’s motto is also to improve the society and its culture by means of CSR.

Education Like the previous years, ABL has donated a good amount to various educational institutions. In the year, the Bank donated Tk. 143.31 lac to 66 beneficiaries.

Health Care Access to healthcare facilities is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. However, most of our people, especially the underprivileged group has little or no access to health care facilities. However, ABL is committed to assist those poor people, who have no way to secure basic treatment. During the year 2013, the Bank has given financial assistance from its CSR fund a sum of Tk. 154.04 lac to 139 beneficiaries to ease their miseries.

Disaster Relief ABL’s lending policies with regard to environmental management are responsive to emergency support needs of population groups affected by natural and man made disasters. During the year 2013, the Bank has spent Tk. 262.15 lac for the donation of 25,364 blankets to the cold stricken poor people of the country in the districts of Rangpur, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Gaibandha, Kurrigram, Panchagarh, Mymenshingh, Pabna, Sylhet and in the Dhaka city as well.

With a view to widening the access to finance to the poor and ultra poor community, ABL has been financing NGOs since 1997 at privileged rates of interest. ABL financed NGOs are of various categories and capacities. Such activities also contributed to generation of income and employment as well.

Promotion of Crop Production To attain food security of the country, ABL has been in a unique position to providing credit facilities to the farmers at a lower rate of interest (currently at 8 percent) since 1977. A huge amount of foreign currency is spent in every year to import pulse, oil-seeds, ginger, spices, maize etc. In order to save foreign currency, the Government of Bangladesh encourages our farmers to boost up the production of above crops by introducing rebate rate of interest at 4 percent which is considered as the lowest rate of interest among any credit facilities.

Promotion of Entrepreneurship The Bank envisaged fostering entrepreneurship amongst the potential, new and small entrepreneurs and generating employment through financing Small and Medium Enterprises. Keeping the aim in mind, ABL does not only run after the so called blue chips towards profit maximize of the Bank. Rather, it always remains stick to the triple bottom line: People, Planet & Profit and focused to the promotion of SMEs. In this way, a lot of entrepreneurs have grown with us through which employment opportunities are created for a huge number of people.

Women Empowerment As half of our population is woman, a sustainable national progress can’t be attained if women are left aside.

ABL’s program for the woman entrepreneurs will gain due momentum in the days to come.

Awareness Building Generation of awareness is a very useful tool to combat social evils, like drug addiction, smoking, pollution, terrorism, population etc. For this purpose, the Bank has continued support to different social organizations who displayed banner, festoon, sticker, display board and use such other communication channels for discouraging drug, smoking, pollution, population growth etc. The Bank continued such awareness building activities in the year 2013.

Category-wise CSR activities of the Bank in 2013 are as follows: Taka in Lac Sl. No Nature of Work Beneficiaries Amount 01 Education 66 143.31

Other CSR Activities Agrani Bank Limited is always attentive to attain more and more good corporate attributes. So, apart from the exposures mentioned above, ABL’s CSR disclosure includes multi-faceted social activities. ABL has also been indirectly contributing to CSR activities. In the year 2013, ABL disbursed Tk. 31.45 crore in spices loans i.e. pulses, oil seed, ginger, maize etc. at the rate of 4 percent interest and Tk. 788.89 crore in crops loans at the rate of 8 percent interest. If the two loans were counted at the rate of 10 percent interest, then it is observed that, the Bank conceded a loss of Tk. 1.89 crore and Tk. 17.67 crore respectively which may be treated as CSR otherwise.

86 Green Banking

Annual Report 2013 t 87 Green Banking Global warming is an issue that calls for a global response. The rapid change in climate will be too great to allow many eco-systems to suitably adapt, since the change have direct impact on bio-diversity, agriculture, forestry, dry land, water resources and human health. Society demands that business which also takes responsibility in safeguarding the planet. In this circumstance, the banks have come forward with an eco-friendly financing program. Eco-friendly activities related with banking jobs are known as ‘Green Banking’. Green Banks or environmentally responsible banks not only improve their own business but also reflect socially responsible behavior of their other banking activities. A Green Bank is also called an ethical bank, a socially responsible bank or a sustainable bank.

Broadly, green banking comprises five pillars. First one is related to the ‘Green Vision’ of a bank. It is thebasic principle. Practically, activities and operations of banks cannot completely discard environmental harm. Second and third pillars are connected with banks in-house operations and with financing. These are connected with banks’ green efforts to minimize environmental risks and save scarce resources. Fourth pillar is concerned with supporting and co- operating other stakeholders. The growing environmental concern has brought about a new era of communication and cooperation between the businesses, banks and the NGOs worldwide.

Green banking is a component of global initiatives by a group of stakeholders to save environment. ‘Conserving Environment’ through operation and financing is at the center of the green banking activities of a bank. An increasing number of banks around the world are going green by offering innovative green products, saving resources and supporting the activities that help to protect environment. Environmental finance is a part of both ‘Environmental Economics’ and the conservation movement. Environmental economics is also called ‘Ecological Economics’. It is the proper use of various financial instruments to protect bio-diversity. Green finance, as a part of green banking, makes a great contribution to the transaction of resource-efficient and low carbon industries i.e., green industries and green economy in general.

Some banks of the USA and the EU are among the frontrunners that have joined together to protect environment. Banks in these countries are encouraged to follow various guidelines and they work with environmental NGOs to improve social and environmental conditions. Several big banks have sustainable policies and commitment to climate change, carbon mitigation, bio-diversity, land conservation and internal use of resources. Moreover, energy and water efficiency and waste reduction are of high concern for many big banks.

The condition of environment of Bangladesh is rapidly deteriorating. The key areas of environmental degradation cover air pollution, water pollution and scarcity, encroachment of rivers, improper disposal of industrial, medical and house-hold waste, deforestation, loss of open space and loss of bio-diversity. In addition, Bangladesh is one of the most climate change vulnerable countries. Here, banks hold a unique position in an economic system that can affect production, business and other economic activities through their financing program.

Bangladesh Bank has been helping government in implementing the provisions of key environmental regulations related to the financial sector. From time to time Bangladesh Bank has been issuing environment related circulars and guidelines. Especially, their circular on ‘Policy Guidelines for Green Banking’ in 2011 is a remarkable step on the way to developing green banking practices in the financial sector of Bangladesh. A separate guideline on ‘Environmental Risk Management’ by Bangladesh Bank is also in place. In addition, Bangladesh Bank has introduced refinancing schemes and a few incentive measures to encourage banks to undertake green activities.

Formation of Green Banking Division in ABL

Agrani Bank Limited started its green banking activities in the year 2011 by forming a ‘Green Banking Unit’ under its Rural Credit Division. From 9th September 2013, it has been upgraded into a separate and independent division named as ‘Green Banking Division’. As a good corporate citizen, ABL is upholding environmentally responsible practices through designing its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities into green banking practices. The Bank has already launched several green financial products to facilitate an eco-friendly financial atmosphere in the country. ABL is going ahead with a forward looking green banking strategy. As per Bangladesh Bank’s policy guidelines for green banking, ABL has already taken necessary steps to implement the 1st phase and the 2nd phase within December 2014. Implementation of the 3rd phase within June 2015 is also in progress. The Division has taken the following effective measures in order to carry out green banking activities as per Bangladesh Bank’s guidelines. a) Green Banking Committee

With a view to executing the program, a Green Banking Committee has been formed comprising nine divisions of head office. These divisions are: Rural Credit Division, Industrial Credit Division, SME Credit Division, Card Division,

88 Credit Policy and Credit Risk Management Division, Central Accounts Division, Information Technology and MIS Division, Planning Coordination and Marketing Division, HR Training Research and Development Division. b) In-house green banking

All the branches of ABL have now internet connectivity which enable the Bank to avail easy use of BACPS (Bangladesh Automated Cheque Processing System), BACH (Bangladesh Automated Clearing House) & BEFTN (Bangladesh Electronic Fund Transfer Network). Online banking is an important element of green banking strategy of ABL which has been in function in the Bank from 1st July 2010 with a number of 200 fully online branches till date. c) Set up of green branch

As a pilot project, Amin Court Corporate branch of Dhaka has been selected for converting it into a green branch. Gradually all the branches of ABL will come under green branch. Three branches of maize development project in the districts of Dinajpur, , and Thakurgaon have been surveyed for the purpose of converting them into green branches. d) Climate risk fund

A climate risk fund of Tk. 4.00 crore has been created to assist two types of projects, one is to assist projects which might be affected due to natural calamities and the other is to promote the projects like forestry, embankment, pure drinking water etc. e) Awareness of eco-friendly banking

A yearly amount of Tk.1.00 crore has been allocated to create awareness and eagerness among the public about green services and products of ABL. The Bank will support public green events like campaigns, sponsoring educative program on environment, sponsoring tree plantations etc. f) Training on green banking

A good number of officers and executives were trained on different green banking training programs held in BIBM and ABTI in the year 2013. One program about Training on Trainers (ToT) on green banking was held in BIBM and two programs on ‘Environmental Risk Management’ were conducted by ABTI. Similar training programs will continue in the upcoming days. g) Green office guideline

To adopt and follow in-house green activities by all employees of ABL, ‘Green Office Guideline’ has been issued and distributed to all of its offices and branches. This would enable the total staff-members of ABL to use electricity, fuel, water, paper and re-use equipments efficiently. h) Green financing

ABL is giving utmost emphasis to create a better and healthy environment in the country by introducing green financing in different sectors. ABL’s disbursed loans under green financing in different sectors are as follows:

Disbursement Sectors UQNCTRCPGN 6CMCKP.CE No Taka in lac GCU[DKMG Solar panel 85 48 )TGGP Easy bike 275 483 (KPCPEKPI J[DTKFJQHHOCP MKNPDTKEMHKGNF Bio Gas 99 207 DKQICU Hybrid Hoffman Kiln Brick field. 6 1288 i) Other activities conducted by Green Banking Division

The maize loan project is being conducted by this division at monga affected area of greater Rangpur, Dinajpur and Bogra districts at two different interest rates i.e., subsidized rate at 4 percent and market rate at 10 percent. Under this project upto Tk 101.26 lac has been disbursed and Tk 53.18 lac has been recovered against this amount. The amount of outstanding loan in it is Tk 49.94 lac where rate of recovery is 95 percent.

Auditors’ Report & Audited Financial Statements of Agrani Bank Limited

Annual Report 2013 t 155 Auditors’ Report To the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) as well as the separate financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited (the “Bank”) which comprise the consolidated and separate Balance Sheets as at 31 December 2013, consolidated and separate Profit and Loss Accounts, Statements of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statements for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The financial statements of the Bank’s four subsidiaries, namely Agrani Exchange House Private Limited, Singapore, Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD., Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, Agrani SME Financing Company Limited, reflects total assets of Tk. 349,525,430 as at 31 December 2013 and total revenue of Tk. 347,741,741 for the year ended 31 December 2013. These financial statements have been audited by other component auditors who have expressed unqualified audit opinion and accepted by us for the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the Bank that give a true and fair view in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs) as explained in Note 2 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the Bank that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 and the local central bank (Bangladesh Bank) Regulations require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.

Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements of the Group and separate financial statements of the Bank. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Group and separate financial statements of the Bank that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the Bank give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the separate financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2013, and of its consolidated and separate financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs) as explained in Note 2.

156 Emphasis of matter We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same: 1. As disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements, “Other Assets” include a net credit balance of Tk 1,463,268,430 as Branch Adjustment (such amount at 31 December 2012 was debit balance of Tk 1,728,168,619). This needs to be reconciled as early as possible. 2. As disclosed in Note 6.4 to the financial statements the Bank reported certain investments amounting toTk 3,000,000,000 of BEXIMCO Limited, GMG Airlines Ltd and Unique Hotels and Resorts Ltd under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The Bank has created fresh lien on certain shares valuing Tk 823,470,194 and provided for Tk 1,250,000,000 in the financial statements. Subsequently the Bank has received Tk 1,000,000,000 against these investments and recognised the amount as income and renewal has been approved by the Board of Directors of the bank. 3. As disclosed in note 2.23 income tax assessment for few years are pending with various stages of tax appeal process. The management of the Bank believes on reasonable grounds that the Bank would be successful in receiving favorable outcome from these appeal process and hence no additional provision is required for income tax. 4. The Bank has recognized deferred tax on the entire amount of specific provision on classified advances instead of considering only the portion related to bad/loss.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies 2.1 Statement of compliance The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the “First Schedule (Section 38) of the Banking Companies Act 1991 as amended by BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, BRPD circular no. 15 dated 09 November 2009, other Bangladesh Bank Circulars, Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs), Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BASs), Financial Accounting Standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, Bahrain etc. The Bank complied with the requirement of the following regulatory and legal authorities:

i) Banking Companies Act 1991 ii) Companies Act 1994 iii) Rules, regulations and circulars issued by the Bangladesh Bank from time to time iv) Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 v) Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Ordinance 1969 vi) Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission Act 1993 vii) Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (Public Issues) Rules 2006 viii) Income Tax Ordinance and Rules 1984 ix) Value Added Tax Act 1991 However, the Group and the Bank has departed from some contradictory requirements of BFRSs in order to comply with the rules and regulations of Bangladesh Bank which are disclosed below:

(a) Investments in shares and securities BFRS: As per requirements of BAS 39 investment in shares and securities generally falls either under “at fair value through profit and loss account” or under “available for sale” where any change in the fair value (as measured in accordance with BFRS 13) at the year-end is taken to profit and loss account or revaluation reserve respectively.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 investments in quoted shares and unquoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book value of last audited balance sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investment; otherwise investments are recognised at cost.

(b) Revaluation gain/loss on Government securities BFRS: As per requirement of BAS 39 where securities will fall under the category of Held for Trading (HFT), any change in the fair value of held for trading assets is recognised through profit and loss account. Securities designated as Held to Maturity (HTM) are measured at amortised cost method and interest income is recognised through the profit and loss account.

Annual Report 2013 t 171 Bangladesh Bank: HFT securities are revalued on the basis of mark to market and at year end any gains on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are recognised in other reserves as a part of equity and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are charged in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortisation of discount are recognised in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are amortised at the year end and gains or losses on amortisation are recognised in other reserve as a part of equity.

(c) Provision on loans and advances BFRS: As per BAS 39 an entity should start the impairment assessment by considering whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant. For financial assets that are not individually significant, the assessment can be performed on an individual or collective (portfolio) basis.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular No.14 (23 September 2012), BRPD circular No. 19 (27 December 2012) and BRPD circular No. 05 (29 May 2013) a general provision at 0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified loans (good/ standard loans) have to be maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment. Also provision for sub- standard loans, doubtful loans and bad losses has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively for loans and advances depending on the duration of overdue. Again as per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, a general provision at 1% is required to be provided for all off-balance sheet exposures. Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by BAS 39.

(d) Recognition of interest in suspense BFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified as ‘loans and receivables’ as per BAS 39 and interest income is recognised through effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. Once a loan is impaired, interest income is recognised in profit and loss account on the same basis based on revised carrying amount.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once a loan is classified, interest on such loans are not allowed to be recognised as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited to an interest in suspense account, which is presented as liability in the balance sheet.

(e) Other comprehensive income BFRS: As per BAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component of financial statements or the elements of OCI are to be included in a single Other Comprehensive Income statement.

Bangladesh Bank: Bangladesh Bank has issued templates for financial statements which will strictly be followed by all banks. The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank do not include Other Comprehensive Income nor are the elements of Other Comprehensive Income allowed to be included in a single Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) Statement. As such the Bank does not prepare the other comprehensive income statement. However, elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of changes in equity.

(f) Financial instruments - presentation and disclosure In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorise, recognise, measure and present financial instruments differently from those prescribed in BAS 39. As such full disclosure and presentation requirements of BFRS 7 and BAS 32 cannot be made in the financial statements.

(g) Financial guarantees BFRS: As per BAS 39, financial guarantees are contracts that require an entity to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial guarantee liability is subsequently

172 carried at the higher of this amortised amount and the present value of any expected payment when a payment under the guarantee has become probable. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, financial guarantees such as letter of credit, letter of guarantee will be treated as off-balance sheet items. No liability is recognised for the guarantee except the cash margin.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents BFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per BAS 7.

Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as ‘money at call and on short notice’, treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills and prize bond are not shown as cash and cash equivalents. Money at call and on short notice presented on the face of the balance sheet, and treasury bills, prize bonds are shown in investments.

(i) Non banking assets BFRS: No indication of Non-banking asset is found in any BFRS.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, there must exist a face item named Non-banking asset.

(j) Cash flow statement BFRS: The Cash flow statement can be prepared using either the direct method or the indirect method. The presentation is selected to present these cash flows in a manner that is most appropriate for the business or industry. The method selected is applied consistently.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect methods.

(k) Balance with Bangladesh Bank (CRR) BFRS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not available for use in day to day operations as per BAS 7.

Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents.

(l) Presentation of intangible asset BFRS: An intangible asset must be identified and recognised, and the disclosure must be given as per BAS 38.

Bangladesh Bank: There is no regulation for intangible assets in BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003.

(m) Off balance sheet items BFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any BFRS; hence there is no requirement for disclosure of off- balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter of guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of the balance sheet.

Annual Report 2013 t 173 (n) Loans and advance net of provision BFRS: Loans and advances should be presented net of provisions.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003, provision on loans and advances are presented separately as liability and cannot be netted off against loans and advances. [Also refer to Note-2.35 Compliance of Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BASs) and Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs)]

2.2 Basis for Measurement The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items: a) Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as ‘Held for Trading (HFT)’ at present value using marking to market concept with gain crediting to revaluation reserve. b) Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as ‘Held to Maturity (HTM)’ at present value using amortization concept. 2.3 Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of consolidated financial statements and financial statements of the Bank required management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affected 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 have been reviewed considering business realities. Revisions of accounting estimates have been recognized in the period in which the estimates have been revised and in the future periods affected, if applicable. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with adopted BFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently across the Group and to all periods presented in these financial statements.

In such highly competitive environment to ensure a bank’s consistent system and performance, the presence of strong Risk Management culture is obligatory. Being compliant, the bank is now looking forward to take risk management practice to a different level, i.e. preventing risk before occurrence rather than a reactive manner; on a proactive basis. As a part of regulatory and global benchmarking the bank has based upon 06 (six) core risks guidelines of Bangladesh Bank and Basel framework. Listed below are the identified risks the bank is currently managing or intents to manage in the future:

SRO-336-AIN/2010 dated 5-10-2010 issued by Ministry of Labor and Employment and published in Bangladesh gazette on 07-10-2010 declaring the status of business of certain institutions and companies ( like mobile operating companies, mobile network service providing company , all Govt. and Non-govt. money lending companies etc.) as Industrial Undertakings” for the purpose of Chapter-XV of the Bangladesh Labor Act,2006 which deals with the workers participation in company’s profit by the way of Worker’s Participation Fund and Welfare Fund (WPFWP). The Bangladesh Labor Act,2006 requires the “Industrial Undertakings” to maintain provision for worker’s profit participation fund @5% on net profit. However, we have obtained legal opinion from Legal advisor in this regard where it has been started that Agrani Bank Limited does not fall under this category. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements during the year under audit.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of the material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Audit Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements presents fairly, in all materials respects, the financial position of Agrani Equity & Investment Limited as at 31 December 2013 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) and comply with the applicable sections of the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations.

We also report that: 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 those books; c) the company’s statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account and returns; and d) the expenditure incurred was for the purposes of the company’s business.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Though the operations of the project have been taken over through the vendor’s agreement on 27th October 2011, but practically complete operational guideline in line with non-banking financial institution is yet to be developed.”

2.

306 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBER OF AGRANI EXCHANGE HOUSE PRIVATE LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore) Co. Reg. No. 200200048D

Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Agrani Exchange House Private Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss account and balance sheet and to maintain accountability of assets.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 December 2013 and of the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the financial year ended on that date.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

Annual Report 2013 t 311 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 DECEMBER 2013 These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION Agrani Exchange House Private Limited is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Singapore whose registered office and principal place of business is located at 5A Lembu Road Singapore 208444. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGRANI BANK LIMITED, a fully state owned bank of Bangladesh, which is also the Company’s ultimate holding company. The principal activities of the Company are to carry on the remittance business and to undertake and participate in any or all transactions, activities and operations commonly carried on or undertaken by remittance and exchange house.

2. suMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) and the applicable requirements of the Singapore Companies Act. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. Functional currency The management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates i.e. functional currency, to be the Singapore dollars. Revenue and major costs of providing services including major operating expenses are primarily influenced by fluctuations in Singapore dollars. The financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars.

2.2 Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except in the current financial year, the Company has adopted all the new and revised standards and Interpretations of FRS (INT FRS) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Company.

2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective The Company has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been issued but are only effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after the respective dates.

Effective 1 January 2014

Revised FRS 27 - Separate Financial Statements

Revised FRS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

FRS 110 - Consolidated Financial Statements

FRS 111 - Joint Arrangements

FRS 112 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

Amendments to FRS 32 - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Except for FRS 112, the directors expect that the adoption of the other standards and interpretations above will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. The nature of the impending changes in accounting policy on adoption of the Amendments to FRS 1 and FRS 112 is described below.

312 FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities FRS 112 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. FRS 112 requires an entity to disclose information that helps users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. The Company is currently determining the impact of the disclosure requirements. As this is a disclosure standard, it will have no impact to the financial position and financial performance of the Company when implemented in 2014.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as repair and maintenance expense in the profit or loss during the financial year in which it is incurred. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:-

Furniture & fittings 3 years

Office equipment 3 years

Renovation 3 years

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting year to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the financial year the asset is derecognised.

2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are 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. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

Annual Report 2013 t 313 An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or cash- generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

2.6 Financial assets Financial assets are recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in the profit or loss. The Company classifies the following financial assets as loans and receivables: • Cash and short term deposits • Other receivables

2.7 Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses at the end of each reporting year whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in the profitor loss.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances and fixed deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which is subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.9 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

314 2.10 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value. Other financial liabilities (except for financial guarantee) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial liabilities other than derivatives, gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss whenthe liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in the profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss.

2.11 Employee benefits Defined contribution plan As required by law, the Company makes contributions to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. CPF contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the same period as the employment that gives rise to these contributions.

2.12 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the profit or loss in the period which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of fund.

2.13 Leases

Operating leases Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessors are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

2.14 Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Revenue from rendering of services is recognised upon completion and delivery of services to the customers. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

2.15 Government grants Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Where the grant relates to an expense item, the fair value is recognised as income in the profit or loss over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Annual Report 2013 t 315 2.16 income taxes

(i) Current tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the Income Tax Authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting year. Current taxes are recognised in the profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

ii) Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting year between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting year and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting year. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(iii) Sales tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except: • Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

2.17 Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are measured and recorded in Singapore dollars on initial recognition at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting year. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of the reporting year are recognised in the profit or loss.

316 2.18 share capital Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted against share capital, net of any tax effects.

2.19 Significant accounting judgements and estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting year. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting year, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the property, plant and equipment estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to be 3 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives of these assets; therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of the Company’s property, plant and equipment at the end of the reporting year are disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements.

Income taxes Significant judgement is involved in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The carrying amounts of the Company’s income tax payable (receivable) and deferred tax liabilities at 31 December 2013 were $21,495(2012 - $(659)) and $4,982 (2012 - $6,413) respectively.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments comprise financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities mainly relate to receivables and payables which arise directly from its operations. Financial risk management objectives and policies The main purpose for holding or issuing financial instruments is to raise and manage the finances for the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. There is exposure to the financial risks on the financial instruments such as credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk comprising interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk exposures. The management has certain practices for the management of financial risks. However, these are not documented in formal written documents. The following guidelines are followed: All financial risk management activities are carried out and monitored by senior management staff. All financial risk management activities are carried out following good market practices. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or to hedge against fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. The following sections provide details regarding the Company’s exposure to the above-mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

Annual Report 2013 t 321 Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from other receivables. For other financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents), the Company minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk. The Company has policies in place to ensure that transactions are entered into only with counterparties that are of acceptable credit quality. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the net carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Cash and fixed deposits that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies with high credit ratings and no history of default. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company ensures that there are adequate funds available to meet all its operational requirements. As at the end of the reporting year, the expected contractual undiscounted cash outflows of financial liabilities are due in less than a year. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no exposure to interest rate risks as interest arising primarily from fixed deposits placed with the financial institution as disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements is fixed and does not fluctuate with changes in market interest rates. Foreign currency risk The Company’s operational activities are carried out in Singapore dollars which is its functional currency. All transactions are paid mainly in local currency. Exposure to any risk arising from movements in foreign currencies exchange rates is minimal. Equity price risk The Company has no exposure to equity price risk. Capital risk management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, which includes borrowings (Note 13) less cash and cash equivalents, and equity comprising retained earnings plus share capital. The Company is in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements.

18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged or settled between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Financial instruments whose carrying amounts approximate fair values Management has determined that the carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, fixed deposits, current other receivables, and current trade and other payables, based on their notional amounts, reasonably approximate their fair values because these are mostly short term in nature.

19. AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financialstatements for the year ended 31 December 2013 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 16 January 2014.

DIRECTORS’ BENEFITS

During and at the end of the financial year, no arrangements subsisted to which the Company is a party, with the object or objects of enabling the directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of acquisition of shares or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate.

No director has since the end of the previous financial year, received or become entitled to receive any benefit (other than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by directors shown in the financial statements or the fixed salary of a full-time employee of the Company) by reasonofa contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the director or with a firm of which the director is a member, or with a company in which the director has a substantial financial interest.

DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS

According to the register of directors’ shareholdings, none of directors in office at the end of the financial year held any share in the Company during the financial year ended 31 December 2013.

RESERVES AND PROVISIONS

There were no material transfers to and from reserves or provisions during the year.

328 ISSUE OF SHARES AND DEBENTURES

The Company has not issued any debentures during the financial year.

During the year the paid-up capital has been increased from RM1,000,000 to RM2,000,000 by issuance of additional 1,000,000 ordinary shares of par value of RM1 each.

BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS

Before the income statement and the balance sheet were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to ascertain that action has been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts, and had satisfied themselves that all known bad debts have been written off and that adequate allowance has been made for doubtful debts.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the company inadequate to any substantial extent.

CURRENT ASSETS

Before the income statement and balance sheet of the company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business their values as shown in the accounting records of the company have been written down to an amount which they might be expected to realise.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, which would render the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the company misleading.

VALUATION METHODS

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

CONTINGENT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

At the date of this report, there does not exist :

i) any charge on the assets of the company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person ; or

ii) any contingent liability which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

No contingent or other liability has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may effect the ability of the company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

ITEMS OF AN UNUSUAL NATURE

The results of the operations of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2013 were not, in the opinion of the directors, substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.

Annual Report 2013 t 329 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE SHEET DATE

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and usual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors, to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

OPTIONS

No option has been granted during the year ended covered by the income statement to take up unissued shares of the Company.

AUDITORS

The retiring auditors, MESSRS. AHAMAD NAINA MYDIN & ASSOCIATES, have indicated their willingness to be re-appointed in accordance with Section 172(2) of the Companies Act, 1965.

Annual Report 2013 t 337 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2013

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The principal activity of the company during the financial year is that of providing remittance services from Malaysia to Bangladesh. There has been no significant change in this principal activity during the financial year.

The company is a private limited liability Company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered office of the Company is located at No.9B, Jalan TC 2A/1, Taman Cemerlang, 53100 Kuala Lumpur.

The number of employees in the Company at the end of the financial year were 4 (2012:4)

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 28 Jan 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated in the individual accounting policies set out below and comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and the Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standards (MPERS) issued by Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the applicable MPERS in Malaysia requires the use of certain accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial year. It also requires the directors to exercise their judgements in the progress of applying the Company accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgements are based on the directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ.

2.2 Significant Accounting Policies (a) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

All property, plant and equipment were initially stated at cost. Properties which have been subsequently revalued, are stated at valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.2(e).

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement as incurred.

338 2.2 Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (a) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (Continued) Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write off the costs of the assets to their residual values over the term of their estimated useful lives. The annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:-

% Furniture and fittings 10 Office equipment 10 Renovation 10 Computer 20 Electrical material 20 Security systems 10 Signboard 10

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until the assets are no longer in use. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

(b) Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date.

(c) Payables Payables are stated at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

(d) Taxation The tax expense in the income statement represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition on an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or the amount of any excess of the acquiree’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.

Annual Report 2013 t 339 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 2.2 Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(e) Impairment of assets The carrying amounts of assets other than inventories, assets and non-current assets held for sale, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is recognised directly against any revaluation surplus for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a prorata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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 amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statement in the year in which the reversals are recognised, unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset, in which case it is credited directly to revaluation surplus. Where an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in the income statement.

(f) Employee Benefits (i) Short term employee benefits Wages, salaries, allowances, social security contribution, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the employees.Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Post-employment benefits The Company contributes to the Employees’ Provident Fund, the national defined contribution plan. The contributions are charged to the income statement in the period to which they are related. Once the contributions have been paid, the Company has no further payment obligations.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise cash in hand and bank balances.

12. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available forthe development of the Company’s business whilst managing its risks. The Company operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Company’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions. The main areas of financial risks faced by the Company and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set out as follows: a) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from other receivables and financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents) The credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limit and monitoring procedures. An internal credit review is conducted if the credit risk is material. b) Operational risk The company ensures quick and proper management of operational risk which may arise from fraud, error, omission, unauthorised activities, inefficiency, system failure from external events. c) Market risk The market risk which may drive from loss of earnings due to change in the interest rate, foreign exchange rate etc. is handled with care by the company. d) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no exposure to interest rate risks as interest arising pimarily from fixed deposits placed with the financial institutions which are fixed and does not fluctuate with changes in market interest rates. e) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risk The Company actively manages its operating cash flows and availability of funding so as to ensure that all refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Company maintains sufficient levels of cash to meet its working capital requirements.
