OVERVIEW OF GLOBAL ECONOMY


In the immediate past two years, economic growth has been accelerated in more than
half of the world’s economies. Following the fiscally induced acceleration in USA, the
growth remained steady at 3% plus in last year which eventually offset the slower growth
in some other large economies. At global dais, the economic activity is expected at 3.2%
in 2019 though there are increasing signs that growth may have peaked further. The
growth rate of many developed economies has risen close to their potential and expand-
ed at a steady pace of 2.2% in 2018. Besides the unemployment rates of this zone have
dropped to historical lows.
Continuing a steady acceleration since 2015, GDP growth in the developing countries
is estimated to 4.5% in 2018. However, some developing economies like Bangladesh,
Bhutan, Cambodia, Burkina Faso, Senegal etc are expanding at an average annual rate
of 7% more. Though

GLOBAL POWER SECTOR IN 2018


The demand for global power increases by 3.7%, one of the strongest growth rates seen in the last 20 years, absorbing around half of the
growth in primary energy. The developing world continued to drive the vast majority (81%) of this growth which is mainly led by China and India
who together accounted for around two thirds of the increase in power demand. On the supply side, the growth in power generation was led by
renewable energy, which grew by 14.5%, contributing around a third of the growth; followed by coal (3.0%) and natural gas (3.9%). China contin-
ued to lead the way in renewables growth, accounting for 45% of the global growth in renewable power generation, more than the entire OECD
combined. Renewable energy appears to be coming of age.

Most of the growth in global electricity consumption occurred in Asia (almost 80%, with China accounting for nearly 60%). Electricity demand in
China accelerated against steady economic growth and industrial demand. Demand also increased in India, South Korea, Japan and Indonesia.
Electricity consumption in the United States, which dipped by 1% in 2017, recovered in 2018 (+2.2%). Economic growth and industrial demand
also raised power consumption in Canada, Brazil and in Russia. It also increased in Africa, especially in Egypt, and in the Middle East, spurred
by Iran. Electricity consumption remained almost stable in the whole Europe in 2018: it declined in France and Germany, stagnated in other large
countries (UK, Italy, Spain) and it increased in the Netherlands, Poland and Turkey.

NATIONAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The market-based economy of Bangladesh, one of the fastest growing economies in the world, reach at a record height in terms of the growth
rate (8.13%) of GDP in last fiscal year which is highest ever in its economic history. Such strong growth has been largely driven by political and
economic stability, infrastructural development, consistent sectorial growth, export performance, stable inflation, moderate public debt and great-
er resilience to external shocks. The country continues to make a steady progress in reducing poverty and improving social indicators. Poverty
has declined steadily and other social indicators, like gender disparity in education and maternal mortality, have also improved. Throughout such
impressive track record for growth and development, the country is aspiring to be a middle-income country by its 50th birthday.

GLIMPSES OF POWER SECTOR IN BANGLADESH

Whether by bolstering million-dollar infrastructure


projects or improving the living standard of the
individual household, the power sector is the
lifeblood of any economy. Like many other developing

development of Bangladesh. In line with many other
macroeconomic indicators, the country has experienced an unprecedented growth rate in the
power sector during the last eleven years. The coverage of electricity is an excellent example of
inclusive growth. At this instant, country’s electricity coverage is 94% (as on 30 June 2019) of its total
population which was only 47% in just one decade back (2009), thanks to the government’s supportive
measures in this context. Besides per capita generation has mounted from 220 KWh in 2009 to 510
KWh in 2019. The government has taken many initiatives for increasing power generation as well as
expanding its coverage.
Demand for electricity has been increasing day by day. Realizing the importance of electricity Government has set a target to provide electricity to
all citizens by 2021. It has declared ‘Vision 2021’ to raise the economy at the level of a middle-income country by 2021 and a developed country
by 2041. To achieve the Vision government has set a target to generate 24,000 MW by 2021, 40,000 MW by 2030 and 60,000 MW by 2041.
To meet the demand of electricity short, mid and long-term generation, distribution & transmission projects are in different phases of implementa-
tion. As a part of innovating financing, Government has managed to G2G, bidder’s financing, ECA financing, Issuance of Bond etc for the power
project.
In order to enhance the overall institutional efficiency, the government has introduced the APA method in public sector from 2014-2015 fiscal
year with a view to ensure institutional transparency, accountability and proper utilization of resources. And power sector secured 1st position for
successfully accomplishing APA for the fiscal year 2018-19.

FUEL DIVERSIFICATION
In the earlier stage the power sector of Bangladesh was heavily reliant on natural gas with about 83% of capacity was gas based while about 8%
was fuel oil based. However due to the depletion of this source government are zooming on some other bases which brought down the share of
gas from 83% in 2009-10 to 57% in 2018-19. In contrast, the contribution of liquid fuel has been increased from 8% in 2009-10 to 31% in 2018-
19. A major switch in fuel use is expected to happen in near future, when a massive increase in power generation is expected to be based on
imported coal following the commencement of three coal fired power plant_1320MW at Payra, 1200MW at Matarbari and 1320MW at Rampal.
It is noteworthy that Bangladesh has entered in the LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) era in the last year. The commercial gas distribution from LNG

Terminal/FSRU (Floating Storage Re-gasification Unit) at Moheshkhali. Coxbazar having capacity of 600 MMCFD (Million Cubic Feet Per Day) has
started on August 2018. Afterwards the second LNG terminal/FSRU with a capacity of 500MMCFD has started to feed gas to the national grid on
April 2019 from Moheshkhali. Coxbazar. Besides the government has taken various initiative in order to facilitate the supply of LNG. On this note,
seven projects have already been taken for floating based, land based, fixed jetty based and deep-sea area-based LNG terminal/FSRU construc-
tion. The government also inked with Qatar and Oman in a view to import LNG on G2G basis.
Apart from the conventional sources of the fuel for electricity generation, Bangladesh is now moving to implement its first nuclear power plant
project. Recently it has joined in the world’s nuclear club as 32nd nations. On October, 2013, Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid the
foundation stone of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant at Ishwardi. The first unit with 1,200MW capacity of the two-unit nuclear power plant is
scheduled in 2022 for commissioning while the second unit with the same capacity is scheduled in 2023. The country appeared as the 3rd mem-
ber in the South Asia and the 6th in Asia of this elite club.
Significant progress has been made in power trading with the neighboring countries. As per the PSMP (Power Sector Master Plan) 2016 the
targeted import capacity is 9000MW from the neighboring countries to meet the vision 2041 in a view to maintain the country’s high economic
growth. The country is now importing 1160MW from India while discussions are going on with India, Myanmar, Bhutan and Nepal to import hydro-
power.

FUTURE OF BANGLADESH POWER SECTOR


To achieve the overarching goal of Vision 2021 and Vision 2041 through bringing stability to the macro-economic structure and achieving rapid
economic growth, Government has set target to generate 24,000 MW, 40,000 MW and 60,000 MW by 2021, 2030 and 2041 respectively.
Simultaneously priority has been given for construction of adequate transmission and distribution network to evacuate generated power to the
people.
Various technological initiatives, including pre-paid metering, enterprise resource planning (ERP), supervisory control, and data acquisition
(SCADA), and upgrade of geographic information system (GIS) have been undertaken to ensure uninterrupted and reliable power supply. Besides,
through repair and repowering of the existing old power plants and improving the demand side management an unprecedented success has been
achieved in power sector.
Depletion of natural gas reserve restrict the current generation of electricity. To supplement gas supply, Government has taken initiatives to set
up land based and FSRU LNG terminal. Besides as per policy taken in Renewables Energy 2008, 10% of total power generation capacity should
come from renewable energy. Till now renewable energy capacity is 374.62 MW.
Information technology (IT) solutions are key enablers for improving the efficiency of the power sector. Considering such requirements initiatives
have taken for the implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, geographical information system (GIS), and other systems
which will eventually lead the power sector of Bangladesh at the global trends.

LONG TERM SUPPLY & SERVICE CONTRACT


In the last few years, some new combined cycle power plants (225MW CCPP, 450MW CCPP-South & 450MW CCPP-North) have been added in
APSCL’s production portfolio. In order to accomplish the schedule outage service of these plants APSCL desires to purchase long-term main-
tenance service including spare parts for schedule maintenance. Therefore, APSCL has signed two contracts with Siemens AG, Germany for
supplying spare parts and Siemens Bangladesh for schedule maintenance of the three plants on August 2018 to complete the schedule outage of
225MW CCPP, 450MW CCPP-South & 450MW CCPP-North plants for one cycle (12 years).

PROJECT IN PROGRESS
1. 400MW CCPP (East): To replace old inefficient plant with energy efficient power plant a new project Ashuganj 400MW Combined Cycle
Power Plant (East) has been taken (EPC Contract Singed 20.03.2018 & EPC Contract Effective Date 16.07.2018). The estimated cost of this
project (as per DPP) is Tk. 2,931 crore which will mainly finance by ADB & IDB Loan. The project work has commenced on 16.07.2018 while
it is expected to come into commercial operation on 31.12.2020 (Simple Cycle) & 29.06.2021 (Combined Cycle). The overall physical and
financial progress of this project is 22.37% and 22.27% respectively.
2. Land Acquisition, Land Development and Protection for
Patuakhali 1320 MW Super Thermal Power Plant Project: In
order to meet the growing demand of Electricity in Bangladesh,
due to natural gas reserved is decreasing gradually, it is neces-
sary to promote the fuel diversification for the Power generation,
selecting Coal as a primary option to generate 20000MW by coal
within 2030. To fulfill this target Ashuganj Power Station Compa-
ny Ltd. (APSCL) is envisaging implementation of Thermal Power
Project with 2660 MW Ultra Super Critical Coal fired power plant
at Patuakhali district of Bangladesh. This is an appurtenant project
of the main thermal Power Plant (2660MW) providing suitable land
and its site with an estimated cost of BDT 819.51 Crore of which
94% will be financed by GOB and remaining 6% will be financed
by APSCL own fund. The commencement date of this project
was 01.01.2018 and expected time of completion date was
31.12.2019. However due to various complexities and problems
regarding acquisition of land, this project has been extended upto
June 30, 2021 without extending its cost (No cost time extension
basis). The overall physical and financial progress of this project is
10.24% and 0.31% respectively.

gave reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources and legal instruments to continue its operations without interruptions.

RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION REGARDING THE RISK


A. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations.
APSCL’s product is sold exclusively to Bangladesh Power Development Board, which is a government entity and major the shareholder
(99.99%) of APSCL as well. The sales are made under the conditions of long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Moreover, the
history of payment ensures the risk of failures to pay by our customer is minimal.
B. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that a company may be unable to meet short term financial demands. This usually occurs due to
the inability to convert a security or hard asset to cash without a loss of capital and / or income in the process. APSCL have their focus
on repayment when it comes to meeting short- & long-term debt. APSCL has maintained debt levels within operational limits to ensure
there is no liquidity crisis. It has a strong base which enables the company to service its debt obligations in particular through operating
earnings. The strong revenue and operating margin shown by APSCL will mitigate any such liquidity risk.
C. Competitive Condition of the Business: APSCL is operating in a free market economy regime. The company may face competition
challenging the profitability of the business. The Company is working in a sector for which the demand is always increasing. Hence the
risk of competition causing a fall in profitability is very low.
D. Interest & Exchange Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the company faces due to unfavorable movement in the interest rates.
On the other hand, exchange rate risk arises when taka may be devalued significantly against dollar and APSCL may suffer due to such
fluctuation. In order to mitigate such risks appropriate and reasonable hedging mechanisms have been employed by APSCL with a view to
keep the cost minimum and similar strategies will be followed in the future.

NATIONAL INTEGRITY STRATEGY (NIS)


The present Government of Bangladesh is committed to establish good governance in the management system of organizations of the country. In
this view the government has undertaken National Integrity Strategy (NIS) on October 2012 which is a comprehensive set of goals,
strategies and action plans aimed at increasing the level of independence to perform, accountability,
efficiency, transparency and effectiveness of state and non-state institutions in a
sustained manner over a period of time. To ensure good governance and to reduce
corruption such strategy has been adopted which was also introduced in APSCL
as well. An executive committee headed by Managing Director has been formed in
this regard. The implementation of this strategy is one of the key points in the Annul
Performance Agreement (APA) signed between Managing Director of APSCL and
Secretary of Power Division, Government of Bangladesh. In order to implement good
governance APSCL has taken several measures as per directive of Power Division
as well as Cabinet Division such as adoption of Citizen Charter, online recruitment
system, E-GP, E-Filing, E-Governance, Innovation in Public Services, GRS (Grievance
Redress System), Service Process Simplification, information dissemination, monitor-
ing & evaluation of NIS and so on.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT


Efficient manpower is the pre-requisite for development of any organization. Success of
this organization depends on qualified and skill manpower for right post. APSCL is per-
forming the task with due care and integrity to increase the efficiency of the plant through
appropriate maintenance and operation. Already computerized attendance and access
control system (finger print) and customized personnel information system have been
adopted in the company.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT


In order to improve productivity of the company’s manpower, the company is continuously
providing formal and informal training to its employees at its own training center (Power Plant
Training Center-PPTC), on job training at APSCL, domestic training at various institution
such as The Institute of Engineers Bangladesh, Bangladesh Power Management Institute,

SECURITY STRENGTH
Ashuganj power station company limited (APSCL) is a KPI (Key Point Installation) A-1 category establishment. Since it is a KPI establishment,
security system is one of the major concerns for the management. With this view, the management has employed 61 personnel for Security &
Discipline department. Besides there are 22 No. of Police, 44 No. of Army and 115 No. of Ansar & VDP personnel served for providing security
services of the plant area. The company has all required security materials and equipment such as CCTV at 97 different places, hand metal de-
tector, vehicle search mirror, patrol guard machine, watch tower, archway gate, firefighting equipment, regular fire drilling etc. There is a security
committee headed by Executive Director (Engineering) and the committee arranges security meeting on regular basis. Various government bodies
like NSI, DGFI, DSB and local police station also keep close contract with the security issues of APSCL and involved/helped on need basis.

TOWARDS DIGITALIZATION
In line with Government’s plan to build Digital Bangladesh, APSCL has been striving to automate all of its operational activities. It has envisioned
to be fully digitalized by 2021 which will eventually help to achieve operational efficiency, cost control, reliability, transparency and overall a good
management system. In this context APSCL has taken several initiatives for moving towards digitalization such as:
E-Nothi: an electronic filing system developed under A2i Program of Prime Minister’s Office. As on June 2019, 39.44% of total permanent
employees and 90.41% of the divisions of APSCL are E-Nothi user. At present about 77% of the total file of the company are conducted by this
system.
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning): Power division has initiated a move to introduce integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
system to bring all of its officials and that of its subordinate bodies under one platform. On this note a project has been undertaken by power
division for implementation of ERP and accordingly a consultant firm has been appointed to implement the same. APSCL, with a view to
implement ERP system in line with power sector, has also adopted with the project and taken necessary measures in this context. At the
primary stage of ERP system APSCL initiate three modules (HR, Fixed Asset Module & Procurement Module) while some other module will
investiture soon.
Operational Information Management System (OIMS): This system collects information like hourly generation data, daily load consump-
tion, dispatch & plant related information, Chemical stock & consumption from all power generating units’ control rooms and other related
control rooms & departments. This information then stored, processed and provide necessary reports for management and other stack
holders.
KPI Monitoring System: This system is for monitoring Key Performance Index (KPI). These KPIs are set by Power Division, Ministry of
Power, Energy& Mineral Resources in Bangladesh. These includes parameters like Efficiency & Reliability of Power Station, Financial Issues,
Procurement, Human Resources Development, Project works etc.
Stores Management System: APSCL has more than 35000 kinds of spares and general items in its warehouse. The whole function of
this store is operated by a dedicated software SMS (Store Management Software) which mainly encompasses requisitions from various
department for store items, physically received & inspection of the items, items description entry in the system and then issue the item to the
concerned department. The software also able to generate store issue & receive related report on daily, monthly or any other need basis.
Apart from these digital movements, APSCL also practices bio-metric attendance system, one stop service center, dedicated video conference
system, E-GP, Video surveillance system, LAN, WAN, Wifi Zone, iBAS (Integrated Budget and Accounting System) and so on.

Directors’ Report
INNOVATION ACTIVITIES
APSCL has its own innovation team consisting four members headed by Executive Director (P&P). The team formulate the strategy for achieving
the innovation work plan which is stated in the APA of APSCL with Power Division. On August 2018, APSCL has arranged two days Innovation
Training Program with its 50 No. of employees. From this training sessions eight innovation ideas were generated off which four ideas are going to
implement. The ideas are:
• The management of waste from power plant operation
• To ease the access of information regarding the problems & its solution during the operation of the plants
• To ease the preparation of the project progress report
• To scour the existing tools list for maintenance work

FUTURE OUTLOOK
Electricity is the driving force of economy and civilization. All development activities are directly or indirectly dependent on it. The trend of gen-
eration capacity of the country is running behind to meet the prevailing load demand of the country and causes hindrance to the development
activities in industrial, commercial, agricultural and social sectors.
Keeping this view in mind APSCL is continuously working to narrow the increasing gap between demand & supply of electricity by optimized utiliza-
tion of the natural gas resources and replacing low efficient, outlive machines.

Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is most often viewed as both the structure and the relationships which
determine corporate direction and performance. The board of directors is typically central to corporate
governance. Its relationship to the other primary participants, typically shareholders and management,
is critical. Additional participants include employees, customers, suppliers and creditors. The
corporate governance framework also depends on the legal, regulatory, institutional and ethical
environment of the community. Whereas the 20th century might be viewed as the age of management,
the early 21st century is predicted to be more focused on governance. Both terms address control
of corporations but governance has always required an examination of underlying purpose and
legitimacy. The principal characteristics of corporate governance are transparency, independence,
accountability, responsibility, fairness, and social responsibility. A good Governance process
provides transparency of corporate policies, strategies and the decision-making process. This further
strengthens internal control systems and helps in building relationships with all stakeholders.
Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd. (APSCL) believes in transparency and committed to ensure good corporate governance prac-
tices at all times, as we believe that good governance generates goodwill among business partners, customers and investors and
supports the company’s growth. Keeping in view the size, complexity and operations, the governance framework of APSCL is based on
the following principles:
1. All the shareholders of APSCL are treated equally;
2. The board is appropriate in size and members are committed to their respective duties and responsibilities;
3. The Board is fully independent from the Company’s executive management;
4. The APSCL’s Board has an adequate number of members who are inde-
pendent of shareholders;
5. The company is operated by a well-defined management structure with
specific job descriptions;
6. Timely flow of information to the board and its committees are ensured to
enable them discharge their functions effectively;
7. APSCL pays particular attention to ensuring that there are no conflicts
of interest between the interests of its shareholders, the members of its
Board and its executive management;
8. A sound system of risk management and internal control is in place;
9. The company has a sound asset management policy, which assures that
unauthorized use or disposal of any asset occurs;
10. Timely and balanced disclosure of all material information concerning the
company is made to all stakeholders;
11. All transactions of the company are transparent and accountability for the
transactions is well established;
12. All regulatory and statutory rules and regulations are complied with;
13. APSCL is maintaining different wings for ensuring Right to Information
(RTI), National Integrity Strategy (NSI), Grievance Redress System (GRS),
Citizen’s charter to ensure transparency of its operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements


Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd. (The Company) which comprise the
Statement of Financial Position as at June 30, 2019 and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of
Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the Financial Position of the company as at June 30,
2019, and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash
Flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of
the entity in accordance with the ethical requirement that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
i) We draw attention to note 6, “investment in UAEL” where the company measured the equity investment in United Ashuganj Energy
Limited in cost price instead of fair value as required in IFRS 9 due to unavailability of any relevant information as per IFRS 13, Fair
Value Measurement. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
ii) We draw attention to “Bond Payable” in financial statements and note 43 where the company measured the Bond liability, which was
a floating rate instrument, at the final settlement amount as per IFRS 9. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
iii) We draw attention to note 35, “AGM and EGM expenses” where the company has provided Tk. 2,500,000 but this expense was not
spent for any mandatory business purpose. This expense is also not allowable as deduction from Business Income under section 29
of the Income Tax Ordinance 1984. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all the information in the Annual Report other than
the financial statements and our auditors’ 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 the 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.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter
to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that give a true & fair view in accordance
with IFRSs, 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 entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclos-
ing, 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 Audit of 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. Misstate-

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

ments 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 judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 au-
dit 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 circum-
stances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control.
• 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 Entity’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 entity
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 finan-
cial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Entity
to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with management regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit find-
ings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements


In accordance with the Companies Act 1994 and The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and
regulations, we also report the following:
• We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose
of our audit and made due verification thereof;
• 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;
• The Company’s statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income dealt with by the report
are in agreement with the books of account books;
• The expenditures incurred and payments made were for the purpose of the company’s business books.

43.00 Bond Payable


As per IFRS 9 Bond Payable in the financial statements should be measure in amortized cost under effective interest rate method.
However this bond is floating rate based and as per IFRS 9 B5. 4.5 for floating rate financial assets and floating rate financial liability
periodic re-estimation of cash flows to reflect the movement of the market rate of interest alters the effective interest rate. If floating
rate financial assets or floating rate financial liability is recognised initially at an amount equal to the principle receivable or payable
on matuarity, re-estimating the future interest payments normally has no significant effects on the carrying amount of the assets or
the liability.

44.00 Contingent Assets


Contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events, the existence of which can be confirmed only by the occurrence
or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. A contingent asset must not be
recognized. Only when the realization of the related economic benefits is virtually certain should recognition take place provided that
it can be measured reliably because, at that point, the asset is no longer contingent. During the considering year July 2018 to June
2019 APSCL had not contingent asset.

45.00 Contingent Liabilities


Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events, the existence of which can be confirmed only by the occur-
rence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent liability should
not be recognized in the financial statements, but may require disclosure. A provision should be recognized in the year in which
the recognition criteria of provision have been met. During the considering year July 2018 to June 2019 APSCL had not contingent
liability.

46.00 Events After balance sheet date


The Board of Directors of APSCL has recommended a cash dividend @ 6% on paid up capital amounting to BDT 396,900,000 for the
year ended 30 June 2019 in its meeting dated 21 November 2019. The dividend will be subject to approval of the shareholders in the
next 19th Annual General Meeting scheduled to be held on 4th December 2019. There are no other events identified after the date of

48.00 Capital Commitments


Bangladesh Securities Exchange Commission (BSEC) has been approved APSCL to issue bond of Tk. 500 crore on 12th April, 2018.
APSCL has already raised BDT 500 crore through private placement from nine (09) institutions (Government Bank-04, Private Bank-
02 & Government Financial Institution-03). Afterwards, Bangladesh Securities Exchange Commission (BSEC), on its 692nd Meeting
held on July 2nd, 2019, has approved APSCL to issue the public placement of BDT 100 Crore Non-Convertible Fully Redeemable
Coupon Bearing Bond. The subscription process of BDT 100 Crore public offering is on going.

49.00 Financial Risk management


The company has exposures to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
a. Credit risk
b. Liquidity risk
c. Market risk
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company’s risk management framework. The Board
oversees how management monitors compliance with risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the
risk management framework in relation to risk faced by the company. The Board is assisted in its oversight role by Audit Committee,
undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the
Audit Committee.
Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obliga-
tions. The company’s sales are made to Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) under the conditions of long term Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA). Sales made to that entity are fully secured by Letters of Credit issued by local scheduled banks.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The com-
pany’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company’s
reputation. Typically management ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalent to meet expected operational expenses,
including the servicing of financial obligation through preparation of cash forecast, prepared based of time line of payment of the
financial obligation and accordingly arrange for sufficient fund to make the expected payment within due date.
Market Risk: Market risk is the risk that changes in market forces such as foreign exchanges rates and interest rate that will affect
the company’s income or value of its holding of financial instruments. The objectives of market risk management are to manage and
control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. APSCL has already taken necessary mea-
sures such as interest rate SWAP in order to address such market risk.

50.00 Land
As per vendor’s agreement Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) has transferred assets and liabilities to APSCL. But
ownership of land was not transferred to APSCL because the value of the land shall be assessed by the authority as described in
Article-72 (GHA) of the immovable Property Acquisition Manual, 1997. For the transfer of Immoveable Property from one Govern-
ment Agency to another Government Agency the Article 72 of the Immoveable Property Acquisition Manual, 1997 shall be followed.
However land shall be transferred to the company after obtaining approval from the Land, Finance and Ministry of Law, Justice and
Parliamentary Affairs.
