Chairman’s Message
I take this opportunity to welcome you on behalf of the Board of Directors of Golden Harvest Agro
Industries Limited to this 9th Annual General Meeting of your company. I am really delighted to see
such a vibrant presence here today and would like to thank you all for your warm attendance.
I believe Bangladesh is a land of opportunity and has a thriving economy. With this overview, Golden
Harvest has formed a partnership and in this partnership, USAID is supporting Golden Harvest in its
overall operations from product development to international and local marketing and distribution
under Cold Chain Management in Bangladesh.
Today Golden Harvest is one of the earliest entrants in international market; and a market leader in
Bangladesh Market as well with its different varieties of Ready to Cook products line. As the market
keeps on growing both globally and internally, Golden Harvest takes the project of its mega expansion
plan. This is a large scale initiative introducing wide varieties of Dry Food Products, Frozen Ready to eat
meals, Ice cream and above all else, the Cold Chain. With my global exposure I have seen huge
potential in each of these markets.
With the economic development and prosperity along with busy lifestyles, consumers become more
and more aware of hygiene and convenience of food habit. With this purview, Golden Harvest has
developed a wide range of Food items at very competitive prices focusing on taste, food value and
longer shelf life. These products will substitute expensive open restaurant foods and also street side
food pubs meals sold at high price including health risks.
You would be happy to know that Golden Harvest is coming into the market with its world Class Ice
Creams products such as Choco bar, Cups, Cones, Liters Pack and some UNIQUE Ice Cream specialties
which will be offered at high quality and at a very competitive price.
A cold chain, to my opinion is a missing link in Bangladesh’s communication infrastructure, which is the
third and foremost important element in the mega expansion plan of Golden Harvest. A Cold chain can
have a huge impact on Bangladesh economy, since it creates un- interrupted product mobility for
perishables and products requiring low temperature management. A number of industries can benefit
from a proper cold chain that Golden Harvest intends to set up. I can visualize the free movement of
horticulture produce, fishery, poultry, dairy, meat products and so many other products being
distributed by Golden Harvest and other similar business with increased shelf life and ensured quality.
As a foreign investor I keep myself updated on the recent trends in Bangladesh and I am very much
aware that a well-managed business like Golden Harvest Agro industries Limited will be the first
preference for the investors in share market.
Once again, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to our customers, bankers, suppliers, government
agencies, regulatory bodies and everyone with whom the company interacted in conducting its
business. We are grateful to you, the shareholders, for extending at all times, your valuable support and
cooperation to bring the company to the level it has reached today.
Thank you all once again.
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of Board of Directors of Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited, I am very happy to welcome
you all in the 9th Annual General Meeting of Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited.
The Directors are pleased to submit to you the Annual Report together with the Auditors’ Report and
Audited Financial Statements as required under the Companies Act 1994 and Regulations of Bangla-
desh Securities and Exchange Commission for consideration and approval thereof by you at this 9th
Annual General Meeting of the Company for the year ended 30th June 2013.
Despite many odds and obstructive situation in the Country, Company’s business, as revealed by the
Financial Results/positions, has succeeded in attaining progressive growth rates over the year. It is to be
noted that the growth in Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Profit before Tax and Earning per Share has
exceeded the rates of growth in Turnover over the previous year.
Golden Harvest becomes pioneer in manufacturing and distributing frozen ready to cook products. As
a part of our expansion plan the company has started to build its ice cream factory under the banner
of its subsidiary company Golden Harvest Ice Cream Ltd.
Golden Harvest has developed a cold chain process by which the company will be able to distribute its
own products to its ultimate customers as well as it can collect good quality raw materials directly from
its producers. Eliminating the middleman from the chain will help the company to reduce its cost of
production as well as the producers will get a better price for their products.
Business Expansion
Ice Cream:
As per the plan of the company, Golden Harvest Seafood and Fish Processing Ltd, a sister concern of
Golden Harvest Agro has been converted into Golden Harvest Ice Cream Ltd, and the company is work-
ing on establishing a Premium Ice Cream Plant (99.9998% of the Company owned by Golden Harvest
Agro Industries Ltd.) with a capacity to Produce 24,000 Liter of Ice Cream per day and all the Brand new
State of the Art European Machineries including a Packaging Line will be imported from TETR PACK-
HOYER- Sweden.
Cold Chain
The Company is maintaining robust system of managing risks relating to material supply by establishing
strong base through contract farming, well-built distribution channel and also flawless credit control
system and ensuring power backup support for uninterrupted production through setting up appropri-
ate capacity of backup Generators.
As we promised to establish a Cold Chain system in Bangladesh, we have started our cold chain system
with the Partnership of USAID. Cold chain is a logistics system, which helps in maintaining and provid-
ing a series of facilities for ensuring ideal storage conditions for the perishables from the point of origin
to the point of sale. Bangladesh has a population of 160 million, and availability of different foods in
different season, therefore, there is extreme price variation. Although our neighboring countries like
India, Nepal, Pakistan, Myanmar has the Cold Chain as well as Cold Storages already in place, but
Bangladesh unfortunately has neither proper Cold Chain nor infrastructure throughout the country.
23
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd.
The current post harvest loss in the horticulture sector in Bangladesh is at a staggering
40%-50% of the produce, which is the primary cause for such drastic variation in price, but
this could be easily avoided with Cold Chain management, thus enabling prices to be lower
which in turn increases the market size and translating into bigger sales volume.
Food Processing
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited has introduced new technologies. The factory has
improved its capability to produce a wider variety of high standard products with proper
process that ensures consistency and quality and committed to provide pure, safe, essential,
healthy food products for ensuring a perfect healthy life of customer.
Golden Harvest Brand is active in the consumer market through products that highlight taste
and quality will continue to pursue initiatives that drive growth for its customers. Its success
will hinge on its ability to continuously improve in areas such as product and service quality,
employee engagement and workplace safety, and efficiency.
In coming years, team members will strive to help their customers strengthen margins, build
strong brands, and continue to play a key role in the company’s mission to delight consumers
with an unmatched food experience that delivers superior value.
As the company has started its expansion as per the plan, the shareholders will get the benefit
of the expanded business in 2013-2014 fiscal year.
Segment-wise or product-wise performance:
As Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited produces Ready to Cook Frozen vegetables, snacks
& fish there is no scope for Product wise performance reporting in the Annual Report and also
no geographical report is required as the company operates in a single geographical area.

Independent Auditor’s Report

The Shareholders of
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based
on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing
(BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judg-
ment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
49
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd.
In our opinion, the financial statements of the company and the consolidated financial
statements, give a true and fair view of the financial position of Golden Harvest Agro
Industries Limited and its subsidiary, and of the results of their financial performance and cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards
(BFRS) and comply with the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987

4 Risk Exposure
4.1 Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate is concerned with borrowed funds of short term & long-term maturity.
Interest rate risk is the risk that Company faces due to unfavorable movements in the
interest rates. Volatility in money market & increase demand for loans /investment
funds raise the rate of interest. A change in the government’s policy also tends to
increase the interest rate. High rate of interest enhances the cost of fund of a com-
pany. Such rises in interest rates however mostly affect companies having floating rate
loans.
68
Management Perception
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd. maintains low debt/ equity ratio; and accordingly,
adverse impact of interest rate fluctuation is insignificant. The project was started with
the Company’s own funds and the capacity was also expanded with own funds. Addi-
tionally, the management of the Company emphasizes on equity base financing to
reduce the dependency on borrowing. Therefore, management perceives that the
fluctuation of interest rate on borrowing would have little impact upon the perfor-
mance of the Company.
4.2 Exchange Rate Risk
If exchange rate is increased against local currency opportunity is created for getting
more revenue against sale in local currency. On the other hand if exchange rate goes
down margin is squeezed in local currency.
Management Perception
The products of the company are sold against foreign (1.66%) as well as local
currency (98.34%) and payments for raw materials are also made mostly in local
currency. The exchange rate of the country traditionally witnessed upward trends,
which makes ample opportunity of export. If foreign exchange rate rises, export will
increase and local sales will be less and vice versa. Therefore, volatility of exchange
rate will have no impact on profitability of the Company.
4.3 Industry Risks
Industry risk refers to the risk of increased competition from foreign and domestic
sources leading to lower prices, revenues, profit margin, and market share which
could have an adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of
operation. Agro industry in Bangladesh is an emerging sector with vast local demand
for its different product lines. Locally produced frozen products now play a significant
role in this sector, which has been dominated by imports in the past. However, the
infrastructure required for this industry is inadequate in Bangladesh, as can be noted
below:
• No organized collection centers for agricultural produce exist in Bangladesh; as a
result, there is a high fluctuation in prices both for the growers and for processors.
• Absence of Cold Storage or Cold Chains although the whole process of collection,
processing and distribution depends on cold temperature maintenance due to the
nature of the finished product.
Management Perception
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd. has established its brand name in Frozen Food
market with its quality products, range of products and customer services. However,
69
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd.
Management Perception
Market for Ready to Cook frozen foods in Bangladesh is growing at an exponential
rate with growth of urbanization and incremental income level of consumers along
with their preference to convenience. In spite of high growth of this market, there is
scarcity of investment in this sector which creates a huge demand-supply gap result-
ing in very expensive imports. International market for Ready to Cook frozen food
sector is already matured and is growing further at a high rate. Golden Harvest Agro
Industries Ltd. is one of the earliest entrants in international market with very promis-
ing and loyal customer base in USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and Middle East. In
Bangladesh market, Golden Harvest has made a rapid penetration and has captured
the leading position with its unique branding and positioning strategy taking opportu-
nity of this fast growing market.
70
Management Perception
Bangladesh Government is meeting this challenge by opening the energy generation
to private sector; and also making massive investment, which is expected to ensure
availability of energy for uninterrupted operation. The company perceives that
allocation of its resources properly with contingency approaches can reduce this risk
factor to great extent. However, in order to minimize the operational risks due to

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) and

fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting
estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.

4. Risk exposure
4.1 Interest rate risks
Interest rate is concerned with borrowed funds of short term & long-term maturity.
Interest rate risk is the risk that Company faces due to unfavorable movements in the
interest rates. Volatility in money market & increase demand for loans /investment
funds raise the rate of interest. A change in the government’s policy also tends to
increase the interest rate. High rate of interest enhances the cost of fund of a com-
pany. Such rises in interest rates however mostly affect companies having floating rate
loans.
Management perception
Golden Harvest Ice Cream Ltd. (GHICL) maintains low debt/ equity ratio; and accord-
ingly, adverse impact of interest rate fluctuation is insignificant. The project was
started with the Company’s own funds and the capacity was also expanded with own
funds. Additionally, the management of the Company emphasizes on equity base
financing to reduce the dependency on borrowing. Therefore, management perceives
that the fluctuation of interest rate on borrowing would have little impact upon the
performance of the Company.
4.2 Exchange rate risks
If exchange rate is increased against local currency opportunity is created for getting
more revenue against sale in local currency. On the other hand if exchange rate goes
down margin is squeezed in local currency.
105
Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd.
Management perception
The products of the company are sold against foreign (5.98%) as well as local
currency (94.02%) and payments for raw materials are also made mostly in local
currency. The exchange rate of the country traditionally witnessed upward trends,
which makes ample opportunity of export. If foreign exchange rate rises, export will
increase and local sales will be less and vice versa. Therefore, volatility of exchange
rate will have no impact on profitability of the Company.
4.3 Industry risks
Industry risk refers to the risk of increased competition from foreign and domestic
sources leading to lower prices, revenues, profit margin, and market share which
could have an adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of
operation. Frozen food industry in Bangladesh is an emerging sector with vast local
demand for its different product lines. Locally produced frozen products now play a
significant role in this sector, which has been dominated by imports in the past. How-
ever, the infrastructure required for this industry is inadequate in Bangladesh, as can
be noted below:
• No organized collection centers for agricultural produce exist in Bangladesh; as a
result, there is a high fluctuation in prices both for the growers and for processors.
• Absence of Cold Storage or Cold Chains although the whole process of collection,
processing and distribution depends on cold temperature maintenance due to the
nature of the finished product.
Management perception
Golden Harvest Ice Cream Ltd. (GHICL) has established its brand name in Frozen Food
market with its quality products, range of products and customer services. However,
to develop an infrastructure, both public and private sector participation is required.
This is the focal point of the company’s future expansion plans. To eliminate fluctua-
tion in prices both for the growers and for the processors, Golden Harvest will organ-
ize collection centers to eliminate intermediary cost for both the parties. Deploying
15,000 refrigerators with 24 cold storages at -30 degree Celsius nationwide, the com-
pany will have infrastructure backbone of Cold Chain which will ensure proper supply
of Frozen Foods all over the country through its 50 temperature controlled transport.
Our neighboring country like India has over 50 cold chains, generating revenue over
US$3.5 billion which is targeted to reach US$ 8.5 Billion by the year 2015.
4.4 Market risks
Market risk refers to the risk of adverse market conditions affecting the sales and prof-
itability of the company. Mostly, the risk arises from falling demand for the product or
service which would harm the performance of the company. On the other hand,
strong marketing and brand management would help the company to increase their
customer base.
106
Management perception
Market for Ready to Cook frozen foods in Bangladesh is growing at an exponential
rate with growth of urbanization and incremental income level of consumers along
with their preference to convenience. In spite of high growth of this market, there is
scarcity of investment in this sector which creates a huge demand-supply gap result-
ing in very expensive imports. International market for Ready to Cook frozen food
sector is already matured and is growing further at a high rate. The company is one of
the earliest entrants in international market with very promising and loyal customer
base in USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and Middle East. In Bangladesh market,
Golden Harvest has made a rapid penetration and has captured the leading position
with its unique branding and positioning strategy taking opportunity of this fast grow-
ing market.
4.5 Operational risks
The core business operation of GHICL is directly related to very low temperature main-
tenance. Country wide shortage of power is compelling GHICL to utilize captive
power which builds up cost. Also port congestion and inland immobility due to politi-
cal instability poses a great operational risk to the company.
Management perception
Bangladesh Government is meeting this challenge by opening the energy generation
to private sector; and also making massive investment, which is expected to ensure
availability of energy for uninterrupted operation. GHICL perceives that allocation of
its resources properly with contingency approaches can reduce this risk factor to great
extent. However, in order to minimize the operational risks due to shortage of power
supply, GHICL itself has own captive sources of power Generators in addition of exist-
ing REB (Rural Electrification Board) sources that will support production and also
planning to engage more capacity of power generation to cope with the coming
needs. Moreover proposed projects will have requisite back up captive power support
to run their daily operation without any hindrance.
