Section-I Executive Summary


(a) ABOUT THE INDUSTRY
After the liberation the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh in 1971, nationalized the
insurance industry along with the banks in 1972 by Presidential Order No. 95. By virtue of this order, all
companies and organization transacting all types of insurance business in Bangladesh came under this
nationalization order. This was followed by creation of five insurance companies in the life and non-life
sector. Further changes were brought on 14 May 1973. Through the enactment of Insurance
Corporation Act VI, 1973, this led to creation of two corporations namely Shadharan Bima Corporation
for general insurance and, Jiban Bima Corporation for life insurance in Bangladesh. In other words,
Shadharan Bima Corporation (SBC) emerged on 14 May 1973 under the Insurance Corporation Act (Act.
No. VI) of 1973 as the only state-owned organization to deal with all classes of general insurance & re-
insurance business emanating in Bangladesh. Thereafter SBC was acting as the sole insurer of General
Insurance till 1984. Bangladesh Government allowed the private sector to conduct business in all areas
of insurance for the first time in 1984. The private sector availed the opportunity promptly and came
forward to establish private insurance companies through promulgation of the Insurance Corporations
(Amendment) Ordinance (LI of 1984) 1984. The Insurance Market in Bangladesh now consists of two
state-owned corporations, forty-six and thirty private sector general & life insurance companies
respectively, 78 Insurance Companies. Growth in insurance coverage is strongly associated with rising
incomes, the development of an increasingly sophisticated banking sector, and low or moderate levels
of inflation. The strong contribution of rising incomes to greater insurance coverage might be
attributable to demand factors (rising demand for coverage as individuals become wealthier), supply
factors (it becomes more cost- effective to provide insurance as the economy expands, providing both a
stronger institutional environment and greater returns relative to transactions cost), or a combination.
The overall institutional environment plays an important role, in terms of political stability and openness
as well as government effectiveness, rule of law, and control of corruption. Religious factors also play a
role, with insurance consumption inversely correlated to the share of the population that is Islamic. The
evidence suggests there is substantial potential for insurance to make a greater contribution to
economic growth and social welfare in many lower and middle-income countries. Indeed, industry
experts argue that insurance lags behind other financial services in the extent of globalization, providing
substantial growth opportunities.
Contribution of Insurance Industry to the Economic Development in Bangladesh the commitment of the
government to promote development of the insurance sector is of enormous consequence for its
promising future. In view of the pro-active policy support of the government that the sector has so far
received in an unstinted manner, we certain that within the next few years we will be able to make
insurance a very important component of the country's financial system. This will go a long way for
eradication of poverty and promoting sustainable economic growth. Insurance serves a number of
valuable functions, which are very different from those rendered by other types of financial
intermediaries. The indemnification and the risk pooling properties of non-life insurance facilitate
transaction and the provision of credit by mitigating losses as well as the measurement and
management of risk.

SECTION-VI DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUER


a) Summary:

(i) The summary of the industry and business environment of the issuer:

After the liberation in 1971 the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh
nationalized the insurance industry along with the banks in 1972 by Presidential Order No. 95.
By virtue of this order, all companies and organization transacting all types of insurance
business in Bangladesh came under this nationalization order. This was followed by creation of
five insurance companies in the life and non-life sector. Further changes were brought on 14th
May, 1973. Through the enactment of Insurance Corporation Act VI, 1973 which led to
creation of two corporations namely Shadharan Bima Corporation for general insurance and,
Jiban Bima Corporation for life insurance in Bangladesh. In other words, Shadharan Bima
Corporation (SBC) emerged on 14th May, 1973 under the Insurance Corporation Act (Act. No.
VI) of 1973 as the only state-owned organization to deal with all classes of general insurance &
re-insurance business emanating in Bangladesh. Thereafter SBC was acting as the sole insurer
of General Insurance till 1984. Bangladesh Government allowed the private sector to conduct
business in all areas of insurance for the first time in 1984. The private sector availed the
opportunity promptly and came forward to establish private insurance companies through
promulgation of the Insurance Corporations (Amendment) Ordinance (LI of 1984) 1984. The
Insurance Market in Bangladesh now consists of two state-owned corporations, forty-Six and
thirty private sector general & life insurance companies respectively, a total of 78 Insurance
Companies. Growth in insurance coverage is strongly associated with rising incomes, the
development of an increasingly sophisticated banking sector, and low or moderate levels of
inflation. The strong contribution of rising incomes to greater insurance coverage might be
attributable to demand factors (rising demand for coverage as individuals become wealthier),
supply factors (it becomes more cost-effective to provide insurance as the economy expands,
providing both a stronger institutional environment and greater returns relative to
transactions cost), or a combination.

The overall institutional environment plays an important role, in terms of political stability and
openness as well as government effectiveness, rule of law, and control of corruption. Religious
factors also play a role, with insurance consumption inversely correlated to the share of the
population that is Islamic. The evidence suggests there is substantial potential for insurance
to make a greater contribution to economic growth and social welfare in many lower- and
middle-income countries. Indeed, industry experts argue that insurance lags behind other
financial services in the extent of globalization, providing substantial growth opportunities.
35

Contribution of Insurance Industry to the Economic Development in Bangladesh the


commitment of the government to promote development of the insurance sector is of
enormous consequence for its promising future. In view of the pro-active policy support of the
government that the sector has so far received in an unstinted manner, we certain that within
the next few years we will be able to make insurance a very important component of the
country's financial system. This will go a long way for eradication of poverty and promoting
sustainable economic growth. Insurance serves a number of valuable functions which are very
different from those rendered by other types of financial intermediaries.

Overview of business environment of the Issuer:

Business environment is the sum total of all external and internal factors that influence a
business. As an insurance service provider, it provides quality service to its policy holders with
skilled manpower. The clients are friendly and paid on time, the management is friendly and
responsive to employee needs. The Government has given more attention to the
development of this sector and has taken National Insurance Policy 2014 to expand insurance
business by bring the life and property of people of all stages under insurance coverage and
establish contribution of this sector significantly (4%) in the GDP of the country by 2021. So,
the overall business environment of EIL is auxiliary to operation of business.

(ii) Summary of consolidated financial, operating and other information:

EIL has neither any subsidiary nor it is operated under any holding company. Therefore, this
information is not applicable. Here.

Future prospects:

After liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, for the reformation of war-damaged economy the then
government took control of all existing insurance companies at that time and nationalized them on
August 8, 1972. In the year 1973 the government two insurance institutions Jibon Bima Corporation
(JBC) and Shadharan Bima Corporation (SBC) breaking all those insurance companies. Later with
the objective of the development and expansion of insurance industry government gave
opportunity to establish insurance companies in private sector. As a result, there are 77 insurance
companies including JBC and SBC (46 general and 31 life insurance companies) are operating
insurance business in the country at present. If we consider the insurable life and property of huge
population most of their life and property have not come under insurance coverage. So, the sector
is huge potentiality for the expansion with the awareness of mass people, development of
industrialization, trade and commerce, import- export etc. The government has given more
attention to this sector and working to bring this sector from traditional trend to modernization
through taking different reformative programs and rules-regulation to regularize this sector of the
economy. As a part of that Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) was formed
and it has been strengthening more at present by the Government. So, there is good prospect of
this sector. (Source: National Insurance Policy 2014). EIL provides non-life Insurance service only in
Bangladesh and it has no plan to provide insurance service globally in near future.

SECTION XX: RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT’S PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE RISK

Any investment always associates with both internal and external risk factors having both direct and
indirect effect on the investments made by the investor. Among those risks some can be averted, others
are beyond control, which may cause loss. Before making any investment decision, investors need to
consider the associated risk factors, the risk premium and management perception. If any of the following
risks actually happens in the business, operational results and financial conditions could suffer and
investors could lose their investments partly or fully. The management of Express Insurance Limited
perceives the following risk factors, both external and internal, which are enumerated hereunder:

Any investment always associates with some internal/ external risk factors and among the factors some
can be averted, other are beyond control. The management of Express Insurance Limited considers some
risk factors involving their business which are described as under:

(i) Internal risk factors may include, among others:

a) Credit Risk:
This is the risk of default on a debt that may arise because of default by the borrower to pay
the loan. In operating any business there is always credit risk lies in the business. As there is
always lending and borrowing between parties in the form of money and goods.

Management Perception:
Credit Risk mainly lies with Financial Institutions and the manufacturing company which sells its
products in credit. Since Express Insurance Limited is involved in insurance business, there is no
such credit risk.

b) Liquidity Risk:

The risk that a company may be unable to meet short term financial demands. This usually
occurs due to the inability to convert its current assets to cash without a loss of capital or
income. Liquidity is a common phenomenon of the business.

Management Perception:
EIL conducts liquidity management in a manner that maintains stability and flexibility in day-to-
day funding activities. The Company manages its working capital in efficient way to maintain
required liquidity. We are also controlling regular payment of cheques, cash inflow and outflow,
maturity of deposits and our access to other funding sources as and when required.

c) Risk associated with the issuer’s interest in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates:

If the subsidiaries make loss, it affects parent company’s balance sheet. In case of associate,
there is chance of decline value of investment in associate company. As for joint venture, a
joint venture (JV) is a business arrangement in which two or more parties agree to pool their
resources for the purpose of accomplishing a specific task. This task can be a new project or any
156

other business activity. In a joint venture (JV), each of the participants is responsible for profits,
losses and costs associated with it.

Management Perception:
Express Insurance Ltd. has no subsidiary and associate.

d) Significant revenue generated from limited number of customers, losing any one or more of
which would have a material adverse effect on the issuer:
There is risk involved in having limited number of customer and losing of that particular
customer has negative impact on company’s sales and cash flow as well.

Management Perception:
The Company is not dependent on any particular or limited number of customers to operate our
business and our management is always keen to find out new customers which boost up the
sales. We maintain a good relationship with our customers and take feedback about our
services. There is less chance to lose customers and losing any one will not affect company’s
profitability for its demand, high quality and competitive service.

e) Dependency on a single or few suppliers of raw materials, failure of which may affect
production adversely:

There is also risk involved in having limited number of suppliers as well. Single or few suppliers
may exploit the company by price hike, untimely delivery and low quality of product.

Management Perception:
By the nature of business Express Insurance Limited has not this type of risk.

f) More than 20% revenue of the issuer comes from sister concern or associate or subsidiary:

Having 20% revenue generation from sister concern or associate or subsidiary makes issuer
dependent on others companies. Hence, there is dependency risk.

Management Perception:

We do not have any sister concerns and associate.

g) Negative earnings, negative cash flows from operating activities, declining turnover or
profitability, during last five years, if any:
Negative earning and negative operating cash flow are risk under the going concern risk for
the entity.
Management Perception:
The Company has no negative earnings and negative cashflow. We have been operating us
business efficiently. But due some business competition lasts few years the revenue is in
reducing mode. We are trying to enhance our business in diversified sector to carry the
business in upward profitability.

h) Loss making associate/subsidiary/group companies of the issuer:


When associate/subsidiary/group companies of the issuer are loss making, it affects
the issuer and there is negative impact on cash flow of issuer and Balance Sheet as
well.
157

Management Perception:
We do not have any associate.

i) Financial weakness and poor performance of the issuer or any of its subsidiary or
associates:

Financial weakness and poor performance of the issuer have negative impact on the
company. As a result, it will be tough to pay loan interest, debt service and dividend.
Future growth will be hampered.

Management Perception:
The Company is financially sound and has been operating with good performance.
Besides, as the Company has no associate/subsidiary/associate company, the risk of loss
arising from these types of concern due to their financial weakness and poor
performance is not related to EIL as such.

j) Decline in value of any investment:


If investment value decline, it will reduce the profit and assets as well.

Management Perception:
EIL has investment in bonds and stocks which is almost.

k) Risk associated with useful economic life of plant and machinery, if purchased in
second hand or reconditioned:

There is obsolescence risk relating to plant and machinery. If the machinery is purchased
in second hand or reconditioned, there high risk of repair and maintenance which has
impact on profitability of the company.

Management Perception:
By the nature of business EIL has no plant and machineries, therefore this type of risk will
not arise.

l) Adverse effect on future cash flow if interest free loan given to related party or such
loans taken from directors may recall:
It is loan given and taken from related party and directors as well. If company gives such
loan without interest to related party, there is interest burden for the company if the
money was taken as loan. On the other hand, if such loan is taken from directors, it will
have an impact on the cash flow to pay off the loan to the Directors.
Management Perception:
There is no such loan given to related party or loan taken from directors.

m) Potential conflict of interest, if the sponsors or directors of the issuer are involved with
one or more ventures which are in the same line of activity or business as that of the
issuer and if any supplier of raw materials or major customer is related to the same
sponsors or directors:
In these cases, there is high chance of compromise among the related companies
because of conflict of Interest.
158

Management Perception:
There is no potential conflict of Interest as we do not have any venture which is in the
same line of activity.

n) Related party transactions entered into by the company those may adversely affect
competitive edge:

Related party transaction of the issuer creates conflict of interest which reduces the
competitive advantage of the issuer.

Management Perception:
There is no as such transaction which may adversely affect competitive edge.

o) Any restrictive covenants in any shareholders' agreement, sponsors' agreement or any


agreement for debt or preference shares or any restrictive covenants of banks in
respect of the loan/ credit limit and other banking facilities:

All information must be known to the potential investor so that investor’s interest may
not be hampered in future. So, any restrictive covenants, if it goes against potential
investors, will make investors in jeopardy.

Management Perception:
There are no restrictive covenants in any shareholders’ agreement, sponsors’ agreement
or any agreement relating to debt or preference shares or any restrictive covenants of
Banks in respect of loan or credit limit and other banking facilities.

p) Business operations may be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increase


in wage demands by employees:
In such case, company’s business operation will be hampered.

Management Perception:
We are used to with the political unrest for long time and our business industries are used
to dealing with this phenomenon. Moreover, by nature of business we have no worker
than officials and we offer a competitive salary structure for our employee for their job
satisfaction.

q) Seasonality of the business of the issuer:


It is the risk involving that company is not doing business round the year.

Management Perception:
By nature of business EIL has no seasonal aspect.

r) Expiry of any revenue generating contract that may adversely affect the business:
This is the risk of losing customers affecting future sales.

Management Perception:
We do not have any revenue generating contract that may adversely affect the business.

s) Excessive dependence on debt financing which may adversely affect the cash flow:
Excessive dependence on debt causes huge interest burden of the company and high risk
of insolvency that may result in bankruptcy.
159

Management Perception:
EIL has no debt financing from the year 2012, therefore there is no possibility of risk in this
respect.

t) Excessive dependence on any key management personnel absence of whom may have
adverse effect on the issuer’s business performance:

Excessive dependence on key management affects the business if the management is


changed in future, which will create vacuum. Besides, if the key management personnel
is of bad intention, excessive dependence will also affect the business.

Management Perception:
Corporate Governance is well practiced in our company. We have also well-placed
organogram in our company. Hence, any change in the key management can be replaced
with other persons.

u) Enforcement of contingent liabilities which may adversely affect financial condition:

It is the future burden of liabilities that the investors will take on their shoulders.
Contingent liabilities reduced the assets or create obligation to pay the liabilities.

Management Perception:
We do not have any contingent liabilities which may adversely affect financial condition.

v) Insurance coverage not adequately protect against certain risks of damages:

Insurance ensures and protects to deal with uncertainty of future material loss/damage.
So, insurance coverage is important for the business.

Management Perception:

w) Absence of assurance that directors will continue its engagement with Company after
expiry of lock in period:

Directors run the company with the accumulated finance from public and other financing
source. If directors discontinue to run the business, there will be negative impact on
business and share price as well.

Management Perception:

Our directors are involved in the business for long time and they will continue the business
after expiry of lock in period.

x) Ability to pay any dividends in future will depend upon future earnings, financial
condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditure:
Dividend payment is highly dependent on company’s ability to generate profit. If
company cannot earn good amount of profit from operation, it is unlikely to pay
dividend.
160

Management Perception:
We are a financially sound company and every year earn good amount of profit. We are in belief
that we will be able to pay dividend regularly from our earning in the years to come
considering financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital
expenditure as well as government’s initiatives taken for the development of this sector at
present.

y) History of non-operation, if any and short operational history of the issuer and lack of
adequate background and experience of the sponsors:
If there is any history of non-operation of the company, it creates negative impression.
Apart from this, short operation history indicates company is gathering knowledge and
expertise to be competitive in the market.

Management Perception:

Such case did not happen in the history of our company.

z) Risks related to engagement in new type of business, if any:


If it is new business, there is a risk of viability of the new business.

Management Perception:
There is no as such risk as we are not engaged in any new type of business.

aa) Risk in investing the securities being offered with comparison to other available investment
options:
If the issue price goes down after floating, there is investment risk for the potential
investors.

Management Perception:
We are profitable entity and our business growth will continue in longer period. It is not
risky in investing securities in this company with comparison to other available investment
options.

bb) Any penalty or action taken by any regulatory authorities for non-compliance with
provisions of any law:
An Audit team of Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) on 12-11-2012
inspected Jubilee Road Branch, Chittagong of our Company, for audit purpose for the
period from 01-04-2012 to 31-10-2012. In their report, they mentioned that some
deviation/irregularities were happened in the Branch regarding credit transaction & not
deduction of tax & VAT at sources.
Management Perception:
There are no such issues except mentioned above in the history of Express Insurance ltd.
Actually, there was no credit transaction rather it was late deposit of premium only for 2
to 3 days as there were weekly holidays in between deposit of cheques & encashment of
the same. As regards deduction of Tax & VAT from the payment of Agency commission,
it was practiced to realize tax & VAT from the Agency Commission at Head office at the
time of calculation/payment of Agency commission. In spite of our clarification IDRA
imposed a penalty of tk. 5, 00,000/- on Express Insurance Limited & Tk.1,00,000 on the
then M.D.& CEO. We complied with the order/decision of Insurance Development and
Regulatory Authority (IDRA) and paid the whole amounts by pay order in due time and
now it is a settled issue. Management is now very cautious to control and check such
error in future.
161

cc) Litigations against the issuer for Tax and VAT related matters and other government
claims, along with the disclosures of amount, period for which such demands or claims
are outstanding, financial implications and the status of the case:

1. A Petition has been filed by EIL in the Supreme Court of Bangladesh High Court Division
regarding demand of additional income Tax by Income Tax Authority amounting Tk.
95,115,567 for the assessment year 2012-2013 to 2014-2015. The petition is pending for
disposal.
2. A petition has been filed regarding disputed additional VAT and panel VAT amounting Tk.
9,82,670 demanded by Customs, Excise and VAT Authority in The Hon’ble Supreme Court of
Bangladesh High Court Division. Writ petition number no.7744 dated 10/08/2006 which is
pending for disposal.

Management Perception:
Income Tax Authority does assessment of tax of insurance companies in the light of
Insurance Rules, 1958 which was introduced about 60 years back where celling of
allowable management expenditure is very less and not time relevant. In a case filed by
an Insurance Company of the country Hon’ble High Court Passed an order to Income Tax
Authority to assess tax in this regard as per Income Tax Rules. Income Tax Authority has
filed an appeal against the order in the Appellate Division of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of
Bangladesh and got stay order. Since the Hon’ble High Court passed order in favor of the
Insurance Company, it is expected that the Hon’ble Appellate Division may up hold the
verdict of the High Court. In that case tax liabilities of EIL will be reduced substantially.
Besides, every year EIL makes provision for income tax regularly out of yearly income
which stands BDT 184,345,341 in the statement of financial position in the financial year
2018.

dd) Registered office or factory building or place of operation is not owned by the issuer:
Factory building should be owned by the company. Otherwise, there is risk of hike in
factory rent in the years to come and threat of shifting the factory as well.

Management Perception:
EIL is the owner of its registered office and the branch offices are rented for long term
agreement. Therefore, no risk will be arisen in this respect.

ee) Lack of renewal of existing regulatory permissions/ licenses:


In this case company is not following the law to renew its all licenses.
Management Perception:
There is no such issue relating to lack of existing regulatory permissions/ licenses.

ff) Failure in holding AGM or declaring dividend or payment of interest by any listed
securities of the issuer or any of its subsidiaries or associates:
Failure in holding AGM or declaring dividend indicates the lack of compliance to the
regulatory rules. Failure of payment of interest indicate the poor cash generation to the
company to pay interest and debt service. The overall impression will be negative for the
company.
Management Perception:
The Company does not have any subsidiary or associate or listed securities and thus no
such risk arisen.
162

gg) Issuances of securities at lower than the IPO offer price within one year:
The management ultimate goal is to maximize the wealth of the company. If share price
goes up, it maximizes wealth of the company. On the other hand, if share price goes
down, it minimizes the wealth of the company.

Management Perception:

EIL has been profitable entity. It has potentiality to grow in future. We believe that our
IPO offer price will not be lower within one year.

hh) Refusal of application for public issue of any securities of the issuer or any of its
subsidiaries or associates at any time by the Commission:
If any refusal happened in the above cases, it will create negative impression to the
issuer.

Management Perception:
EIL applied to BSEC for permission of IPO on April 30, 2013 but in the meantime on
August 30, 2015 the company raise its capital through stock dividend. For this purpose,
on January 04, 2016 BSEC issued a letter to submit the further application and revised
prospectus reflecting the dilution effect and updated accounts. It was a regular process
for the company and there was no defamation issue regarding the matter.

(ii) External risk factors may include among others:

a) Interest Rate Risks;


Interest rate risk is associated with the fluctuations in market interest rates which cause a
company’s cost of debt to increase. Changes in the Government’s monetary policy also tend to
increase the interest rates. High rate of interest may adversely affect the operating results and
financial performance of the Company with additional financial charges and squeezes the profit
of the company.

Management Perception:
EIL currently doesn’t enjoy any loan facility, therefore there is no interest rate risk associated with
the Company.

b) Exchange Rate Risks;


Unfavorable volatility or fluctuations of foreign currency to BDT exchange rate may have an
impact on the cost structure and profitability of the company.

Management Perception:
By the nature of business EIL has no opportunity to happen this because of it operates in local
market and deals with local currency only.

c) Industry Risks;
i. Market demand:
Company’s sales and revenues are depended on the aggregate demand of its services.
Any economic recession, changes in requirements, national income and other related
factors may cause to decline the market demand of The Company services.
163

Management perception:
Strong brand loyalty of the company’s services to its customers has enabled the
Company to capture significant market share in the sector. The Company is continuously
penetrating into the market and upgrading the quality of the products to minimize the
market risks.

ii. Raw materials and energy costs:


Instability in raw materials and energy costs may hamper the profitability of The
Company significantly. A recent government decision regarding escalation of electricity
prices will put a huge pressure on the product cost of the local business.

Management perception:
There are no such raw materials for this company as we operate in service sector. For
power and electricity, EIL has own power generator for uninterrupted service. The
electricity cost is same for all other competitors so it will be adjusted with price
accordingly.

d) Economic and Political risks;


Economic risks:
The growth of The Company could be adversely affected by various factors such as political
or regulatory action, including adverse changes in liberalization policies, social disturbances,
terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, natural calamities, commodity and
energy prices and various other factors. Any significant changes may adversely affect our
business and financials.

Management perception:
Bangladesh economy is booming for last few years. Consistent industrial growth along with
increased agricultural production has made the per capita income higher than that of recent
years. In addition, favorable government policies and industry friendly policies by other
regulatory bodies have proved to be congenial to the economy of the country. The
management of The Company is aware of such risks.

Political risks:
Bangladesh is prone to serious unrest in the political condition which produces hartal, road-
block and many other barriers to the business. This could also push the cost of the product
upwards.

Management perception:
During the last forty years of post-independence period, Bangladesh has gone through a
variety of political situations. But recently, a stable political atmosphere is prevailing in the
country. Both the ruling and opposition parties are committed to the betterment of the
country. Political parties are thinking for growth of the country.

e) Market and Technology-related Risks;

Market risks;
EIL is operating in a free market economy regime. The company might have to face stiff competition
from its competitors.
164

Management perception:
Last few years EIL doing its business soundly and earned a good fame in the insurance sector. Management of
EIL believe that they can manage the market risk in future.

Technology-related risks;

Technology always plays a vital role for each and every type of business. Innovation of new and
cost-effective technology can increase utility and reduce costs of service. On the other hand,
obsolete technology may have a negative impact on the business.

Management perception:
EIL applies the latest technology in the insurance management process.

f) Potential or existing government regulations;


The Company operates under Companies Act, Insurance Development Regulatory Authority (IDRS),
Taxation policy adopted by NBR, Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC)’s Rules and
Rules adopted by other regulatory bodies. Any abrupt changes of the policies formed by those
bodies will impact the business of The Company adversely.

Management perception:
Economy of Bangladesh has been developing over the decades because of business-friendly Rules
and Regulations adopted by the various regulatory bodies of the country. Unless any adverse
policies are taken, which may materially affect the industry as a whole, the business of The Company
will not be affected.

Government emphasizes on the growth of local industry to meet the local need. Yet the promoters
and the sponsors have endeavor to convince the policy makers for adopting favorable terms and
conditions, which will eventually help the industry to compete with the low-cost locations in the
global arena and to save foreign currency.

g) Potential or existing changes in global or national policies;


Changes in the existing global or national policies can have either positive or negative impacts for
the company. Any scarcity or price hike or global or national policy change may hamper the
profitability.

Management perception:
Political turmoil and the disturbance are bad for the economy and so for the company. The Company
can prosper in situation of political stability and a congenial business environment. The management
of EIL is always concerned about the prevailing and upcoming future changes in the global or
national policy and shall response appropriately and timely to safeguard its interest.

h) Statutory clearances and approvals those are yet to be received by the issuer;
Statutory clearance and approval is imperative for any business to start off. There are many
statutory clearances and approvals need by the regulatory authority in order to be monitored,
controlled and guided.

Management Perception:

We have been in the business over 16 years. We have collected all the statutory clearance to operate
our business. Hence, there are no as such risk for our Company.
165

i) Competitive condition of the business;


EIL is operating in a free market economy regime. The Company might have to face hard
competition from its competitors. Availability of different types of insurance service adds to the
competition, challenging the profitability of the business.

Management perception:
Bangladesh is the prime source of cheapest labor in the world, gaining comparative advantages for
its industries over their global competitors. Other overhead costs are also low in Bangladesh. As a
result, The Company has been able to maintain its cost of service most competitive. Moreover, over
the last few years the Company has built a trustworthy relationship with its customers and we
expect in future it will help the Company to almost avoid or to lower the competition with others.

j) Complementary and supplementary products/services which may have an impact on business


of the issuer.

Complementary goods are paired goods. Two goods (A and B) are complementary when using more
of goods A requires the use of more of goods B. For example, the demand for one goods (printers)
generates demand for the other (ink cartridges). Supplementary goods are two goods that are used
together. For example, if we have a car, we also need petrol to run the car. Supplementary goods
have a negative cross elasticity of demand. For instance, when price of petrol goes up, demand for
petrol and cars goes down.

Management Perception:

The Company has not faced any challenges relating to supplementary and complementary products
and Management are concerned with the issue. In future, if necessary, management may diversify
the product to be competitive over the competitors.

(iii) Others Risk:

As per our thinking, there is no other risk associated with the business of EIL.

Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the
information in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the
other information obtained prior to the date of the auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated and
separate financial statements and internal controls

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with IFRSs, the Companies Act 1994, the Insurance Act 2010, the Insurance Rules 1958, the
Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
182

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

of the Company were in decreasing trend due to decrease of premium income & investment income and
fall of rate of interest on FDR’s and negative trend of capital market. On the other hand, there is increasing
operating expenses due to higher salaries, office rent, office maintenance & claim paid during the year.

only Tk. 7,488,233/-, 4,935,673/-, Tk. 1,27,926/-, and Tk. 1,32,255/- for the previous four years which
seems very small compare to latest years. Mention the reasons of this and also mention whether
deferred tax was computed rightly as per requirements of IAS/BAS for the year 2014 to 2017.

Reply: Deferred Tax has been calculated on the amount of difference between a rate of accounting
depreciation and tax based depreciation. It may be mentioned here that the proportionate land value and Civil
construction value is included with the price of office space purchased. Land value is out of depreciation policy.
The income tax authority has not been allowing any depreciation on office space. Since the tax authority does
not consider the depreciation provision made for depreciation as it was previously done. To comply with IAS-12
this year and 2014 to 2017 accordingly provision for deferred tax made this year as per IAS -12.
