INVENTORIES
We normally purchase huge quantities of raw hides and skins during the Eid-ul-Azha festival, so that our
production is not adversely affected due to low supply during the rest of the year. We feel that the inventory
holding shows a positive trend because this years inventory represents 50 days of production as compared to
105 days last year.

DIVIDENDS

During the year EPS of your Company was Taka 6.57. Directors decided in the Board Meeting held on August
05, 2013 to recommend dividend of Taka 4.00 per share of Taka 10/- each. After your approval in this General
Meeting, the dividend will be paid to the Shareholders.

EMPLOYMENT
Although the labour situation in the RMG sector was unsatisfactory, if not violent sometimes, the labour
environment in the leather sector was quiet. Labour relation in your Company was cordial and morale of the
workers was high. The breakdown of your Companys human resources are:

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS


Before the recession in Europe, our main market was Italy. For the past two years, our export to Italy has gone
down tremendously and we do not see any prospects in this market. Fortunately, we were aware of this and
explored the Chinese and Indian markets and were able to find good customers. Also, Japan is a steady market
for us but the volume is not substantial.

We feel that the leather industry of Bangladesh will have to depend on the Chinese and Indian markets for the
next few years. China and India are big producers and exporters of shoes and leather goods, but their domestic
supply of finished leather is totally inadequate. Both these countries have to depend on supply of finished
leather from abroad and here Bangladesh can be an important link to their supply chain.

RISKS AND CONCERNS


Raw hides and skins is a by-product of the meat industry. If the consumption of red meat decreases, then
correspondingly the supply of hides and skins goes down with increase in price. We have noticed that the
supply of hides and skins have been erratic in the world because of the difference in consumption of red meat
in different countries. It is very difficult to predict the supply and prices of raw hides and skins in Bangladesh
because the demand for red meat varies from month to month. So the biggest risk of leather industry is the
price elasticity of raw hides and skins.

The main concern of leather industry in Bangladesh is the problem of pollution. Environment is a big issue
everywhere but very unfortunately, there is no pollution plant for the leather industry in Bangladesh. It is a
matter of great concern that if the government is not able to shift the entire leather industry of Dhaka from
Hazaribagh to Savar within a short time, then there is a great possibility that the importing countries may
impose a ban of Bangladeshi leather.
