Taka 1,475.77 million in 2017-2018 representing a growth of 6.62%. During the same year, the

As per Corporate Governance Code issued by the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission
vide BSEC/CMRRCD/2006-158/207/Admin/80 Dated: 3 June 2018, I am pleased to make the
following statements:

om
a) Accounting policies and estimation for preparation of financial statements:
The financial statements of Bangladesh Lamps Limited have been prepared in accordance with the
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS), the Companies Act, 1994, the Securities and
.c
Exchange Rules, 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations.
d
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
ab

liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on past
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
result of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
nk

that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
La

estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation and judgments in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements are
described in the respective notes to the Audited Financial Statements. And detailed of the accounting
policies has been disclosed in the note 2 and note 3 of the Audited Financial Statements.

b) Changes in accounting policies and estimation and the effect of such changes on the

There are no other Companies engaged in the lighting business which are listed in the Country’s
browses. Therefore, a comparison with peer industry has not been possible.
e) Brief explanation on the financial and economic scenario of the country and the globe:
Bangladesh Scenario:
.c
Bangladesh’s GDP growth for financial Year 2018-2019 is line with the Government projection, driven by strong
domestic demand – particularly private consumption – and a recovery in exports, albeit mild. According to
d
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics or BBS, Bangladesh’s GDP growth in the current fiscal year is set to exceed 8
percent for the first time. The government is also anticipating an increase in the country’s per capita income to
ab

$1,909. Bangladesh’s GDP growth was 7.86 percent in the past fiscal year while the per capita income was
$1,751.(2,3)
Global financial and economic scenario:
nk

Global economic growth is forecast to ease to a weaker-than-expected 2.6% in 2019 before inching up to 2.7%
in 2020. Growth in emerging market and developing economies is expected to stabilize next year as some
countries move past periods of financial strain, but economic momentum remains weak.(1)
La

The outlook for the South Asia is solid, with growth picking up to 7% in 2020 and 7.1% in 2021. Domestic demand
growth is expected to remain robust with support from monetary and fiscal policy, in particular in India. Growth in
India is projected to accelerate to 7.5% in FY 2019/20. which begins April 1. Pakistan’s growth is expected to slow
further to 2.7% in FY2019/20.(1)

f) Risks and concerns issues related to the financial statements and mitigation plan for
managing risk:
The Company is aware of the different risks associated in doing business and is prepared to manage
those risks through a professional approach. The financial and other risks have been disclosed in the
Note 35 and Note 40 of the audited financial statements. Also there are some risk factors and
concerns for the company which are noted below:
External risk factors
The Company’s results may be affected by factors outside its control such as political unrest, strike,
civil commotion and act of terrorism. These will be addressed as per demands of the situation.

Threat to sustainability and negative impact on environment


In line with global practice, the government has been initiating notable changes in environmental, health and
safety laws and regulations and energy saving activities. We will address the issues with a more proactive
business strategy to ensure conformity with future changes.

We emphasize that some of the risks areas are beyond control of any single company. We at Bangladesh
Lamps Limited closely monitor the trends and developments in each of the risk areas and take the best
possible measures to mitigate them.

g) Future plan or projection or forecast for company’s operation, performance and financial position,
with justification thereof, i.e., actual position shall be explained to the shareholders in the next AGM:

The government has given highest priority to rapidly boost the power generation and expand the power
distribution network within the country to make power available at the remotest part of the Country. This
includes measures like setting up of new power plants under private & public initiatives for modernizing
the old power plants, import of power from neighboring country etc. All these measures will have a
positive impact on the lighting industry.

om
We also undertake necessary measures on a continuous basis which will enable us to sustain our
growth in the coming years. The measures include expansion of distribution network of our products,
expanding the product portfolio, hiring of quality manpower particularly in the sales and distribution and
supply chain departments and planned capital expenditure. In particular we are prioritizing the
.c
production of the LED bulbs and LED tube lights which are gaining wide acceptance with the
consumers because of lower energy consumption and cost saving potentials. We hope that our
emphasis on LED productions and distribution will help us to improve our financial position in the
d
coming years.

Other information included in the Company’s 30 June 2019 Annual Report


Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and
nk

our auditor’s report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.
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 of the Company, our responsibility is to read the other
La

information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements of the Company 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. Based on
the information read and reviewed, we have nothing to report in this regard.
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 of the Company in
accordance with IFRSs, the Companies Act 1994, 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 of the Company, 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 audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Company 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.

41
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

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 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 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’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 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

om
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
.c
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
d
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.
ab

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
nk

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because
La

the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In accordance with the Companies Act 1994 and the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, we also report the
following:
i) 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;
ii) 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 these books;
iii) the 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 and returns; and
iv) the expenditure incurred was for the purposes of the Company’s business.

Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

Notes to the Financial Statements


As at and for the year ended 30 June 2019

1 Reporting entity

1.1 Company profile

Bangladesh Lamps Limited ("the company") is a public limited company incorporated in 1960 in Bangladesh
under the Companies Act 1913. The authorised capital of the company is Taka 500 million divided into 50
million ordinary shares of Taka 10 each. The shares of the company are publicly traded in Dhaka and
Chittagong Stock Exchanges.

The entire shareholding of Philips Netherland was sold and transferred on 4 March 1993 to Transcom Limited,
a company incorporated in Bangladesh, thus making Bangladesh Lamps Limited a subsidiary of Transcom
Limited. At present 61.03% shares are held by Transcom Limited and its subsidiary Transcom Electronics
Limited. Remaining 38.97% shares are held by institutional and general public including foreign investors.

om
The address of the head office of the company is Sadar Road, Mohakhali, Dhaka-1206.

1.2 Nature of business

The company produces and sells Philips and Transtec brand electric bulbs, Transtec brand Compact
.c
Fluorescent Lamps (CFL), Luminaire, Fluorescent Tube Lights (FTL), Starters and Light-emitting diodes (LED)
in local market. It also imports and sells ballasts to the local market.
d
2 Basis of preparation
ab

2.1 Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the International Financial
nk

Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted in Bangladesh by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of


Bangladesh, the Companies Act 1994, Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Ordinance 1969, Bangladesh
Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, Listing Regulations of Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges and other
relevant local laws as applicable.
La

Initial application of new standards

The company has initially applied IFRS 15 (see note 3.10) and IFRS 9 (see note 3.2) from 1 July 2018. These
two new standards do not have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the company in applying these standards, comparative information
throughout these financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.

Date of authorisation
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 10/10/2019.
2.2 Going concern
The Company has adequate resources to continue in operation for foreseeable future and hence, the financial
statements have been prepared on going concern basis. As per management assessment there are no material
uncertainties related to events or conditions which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

47
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

2.3 Fair value measurement

The entity measures financial instruments such as financial assets available for sale at fair value at each
balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset and transfer the liability takes place either: i) in
the principal and active market of the asset and the liability or ii) in the absence of principal market, in the most
advantageous market of the asset and the liability.

2.4 Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis under the historical cost convention
except investment available for sale which is measured at fair value.

2.5 Reporting period

Financial year of the company covers the period from 01 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

om
2.6 Functional and presentational currency

These financial statements are presented in Bangladesh Taka (Taka/Tk/BDT), unless otherwise stated, which
is the company's functional currency. All financial information are presented in Taka and have been rounded off
.c
to the nearest integer.
d
2.7 Use of estimates and judgements
ab

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on past experience and various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making
nk

judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
La

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation and judgments in applying accounting policies
that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the
following notes:

Note 4 : Property, plant and equipment


Note 8 : Inventories
Note 15 : Deferred liability - gratuity payable
Note 16 : Deferred tax liability
Note 18 : Trade and other payables
Note 20 : Provision for tax

48
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

2.8 Statement of cash flows

Statement of cash flows is prepared under direct method in accordance with International Accounting Standard
(IAS)-7 "Statement of cash flows" as required by the Securities and Exchange Rules, 1987.

3 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial
statements.

3.1 Foreign currency

Foreign currencies are translated into Taka at the rates ruling on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and
liabilities are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of statement of financial position. Non-monetary
assets and liabilities are reported using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Differences arising on
conversion are charged or credited to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

3.2 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

om
IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some
contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement.
.c
There was no material impact of adopting IFRS 9 on the company’s statement of financial position as at 30 June
2019 and its statement of profit or loss and OCI for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the statement of cash
d
flows for the year then ended.
ab

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost,
FVOCI and FVTPL. The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business
model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 eliminates the
previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9,
nk

derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never
separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial
La

liabilities.

The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the company’s accounting policies related to financial
liabilities and derivative financial instruments (for derivatives that are used as hedging instruments).

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

3.3.1 Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the
acquisition of property, plant and equipment and bringing to the location and condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating in the intended manner. The cost of self constructed asset included the cost of material
and direct labour, any other cost directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their
intended use.

49
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

3.3.2 Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of
the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company
and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment
are recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.

3.3.3 Depreciation

Depreciation is charged on all items of property, plant and equipment on straight line method over their
estimated useful lives. Depreciation is charged from the month of acquisition of property, plant and equipment
and no depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. The useful lives used are summarised as below:

Leasehold buildings 10-33 years or lease term whichever is shorter


Machinery 5-20 years
Tools and equipment 5-20 years
Electrical equipment 3-15 years
Office equipment 3-7 years

om
Vehicles 5 years
Furniture and fittings 4-7 years

3.3.4 Retirement and disposals


.c
An asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and
subsequent disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an asset is determined as the
d
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised as gain
or loss from disposal of asset in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
ab

3.3.5 Impairment
nk

Recognition

The carrying value of the company's assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each date of the statement
of financial position to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
La

the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss will be recognised whenever the carrying
amount of the asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses, if any, are
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

3.4 Intangible assets

3.4.1 Recognition

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss, (if
any). Intangible asset is recognised when all the conditions for recognition as per IAS 38: Intangible assets are
met. The cost of the intangible assets comprises its purchase price, import duties and non-refundable taxes
and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use.
3.4.2 Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied
within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditures are
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when incurred.

50
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

3.4.3 Amortisation

Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income from the date when the asset is available for use over its best estimated economic life.

3.5 Investments

Investments are made in the share of different companies. These shares are non derivative financial assets
that are designated as available for sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition (i.e., at cost), they are
measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in
the fair value reserve in equity.

3.6 Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, raw materials in transit, work-in-process, finished goods and spare parts.
These are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, with appropriate provisions for obsolete and
slow-moving items. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and includes all expenses incurred

om
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
.c
3.7 Employee benefit costs
d
3.7.1 Gratuity
The Company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme for its permanent employees, under which an employee
ab

is entitled to the benefits depending on the length of services and last drawn basic salary. The gratuity provision
has been investigated by Actuarial and Pension consultants in this year.

3.7.2 Provident fund


nk

The company also maintains a contributory provident fund for its permanent employees which is administered
by the Board of Trustees.
La

3.7.3 Workers' profit participation fund

Workers' profit participation fund (WPPF) qualifies as defined contribution plan. Each year the fund will be
entitled to get share of profit @ 5% on profit before tax of Bangladesh Lamps Limited as per provision of the
Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Act 2013.

3.8 Provisions

A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the company has a legal or constructive
obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

3.9 Borrowing cost

Interest is payable on facilities from banks and overdrafts at normal commercial rates. Borrowing costs are
recognised as expense in the year in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs relating to property, plant and
equipment up to the period of completion of erection are capitalised, and those for the subsequent period is
charged in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

51
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

3.10 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is
recognised. It replaced IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Under
IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the
timing of the transfer of control – at a point in time or over time – requires judgement.

The company has adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), with
the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 July 2018).
Accordingly, the information presented for 2017-18 has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously
reported, under IAS 18, IAS 11 and related interpretations. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in IFRS
15 have not generally been applied to comparative information.

There was no material impact of adopting IFRS 15 on the Company’s statement of financial position as at
30 June 2019 and its statement of profit or loss and OCI for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the statement
of cash flows for the year then ended.

3.11 Finance income

Finance income comprises interest income from STD Accounts and Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDR).

om
3.12 Earnings per share

The company presents basic earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.
.c
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year (other than impact on changes in fair value of
available-for-sale financial assets) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding at the year end.
d
3.13 Contingencies
ab

3.13.1 Contingent liability


A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed
nk

only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company; or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
La

the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Details of contingent liabilities are
disclosed in note 40.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position of the Company. Moreover,
contingencies arising from claims, litigation, assessments, fines penalties, etc. are recorded when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonable estimated.

3.13.2 Contingent asset


Contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
entity.

3.14 Taxation

3.14.1 Current tax

Current tax has been provided in the financial statements at the rate applicable for the company as per the
Income Tax Ordinance 1984. The applicable tax rate for the company is 25% as per Finance Act 2019.

52
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

3.14.2 Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in accordance with the provision of IAS 12: Income Taxes, providing for temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts
used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the
temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same
taxable entity.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be
realised.

3.15 Standards adopted but not yet effective


A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2019 and earlier application is

om
permitted; however, the company has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing the financial
statements.

Of those standards that are not yet effective, the company intends to adopt IFRS 16, when it becomes effective, and is
expected to have a no material impact on the company’s financial statements in the period of initial application.
.c
IFRS 16 Leases
d
IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a
right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its
ab

obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of
low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify
leases as finance or operating leases.
IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an
nk

Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of
Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Although early adoption is
La

permitted, the company has not early adopted IFRS 16 in preparing these financial statements.

3.16 Operating segment

As the company's business activity falls with in a single business segment viz, 'bulbs' and the sales substantially being in
the domestic market, the financial statements are reflective of the information required by IFRS 8 "Operating Segment".

3.17 Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting date that provide additional information about the company's position at the reporting date are
reflected in the financial statements. Material events after the reporting date that are not adjusting events are disclosed in
the notes.

3.18 General

Previous period's figures have been rearranged, wherever necessary, to conform to current year's presentation.

35 Financial instrument disclosure


Financial Risk Management
The Company's management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk
La

management framework.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments.
● Credit risk
● Liquidity risk
● Market risk

The note provides information about the company's exposure of the above risks.

35.1 Credit risk

a) Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and other
parties.

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. In
monitoring credit risk, receivables are grouped according to their risk profile, i.e. their legal status, financial
condition, ageing profile etc. The Company’s exposure to credit risk on receivables is mainly influenced by
customers.

68
Bangladesh Lamps Limited Annual Report 2018-2019

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of
financial position. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure
expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with
similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable
and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of
future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written-off if past due for more than one year and are not
subject to enforcement activity. Most of the trade receivable amounts are secured by bank guarantee received from
distributors.

Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the company’s trade receivables and contract assets
using a provision matrix.
