REPORT OF THE DIRECTORSDEAR SHAREHOLDERS,On behalf of your Directors, I have the pleasure in submitting the Report and Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2016.

PERFORMANCE REVIEWThe reduction in sales by about 43% mainly due to recession in EU, which is our main Market. You will recall that last year, we explained that due to the continuing recession in EU over the past 4 years, we diverted our marketing to China. Unfortunately, the situation did not improve as China’s inventories of leather are high leading to a decline in the production of shoes and leather goods. However, despite of negative growth in sales, the achievement was come as the management was able to reduce costs to a great extent. The main contributing factor of cost reduction was low cost of raw hides and skins in the 4th Quarter of the year.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY YEAR ON YEAR + Increase This Year Previous Year - Decrease %• Sales (Taka in ‘000’) 2,158,363 3,771,638 (42.77)• Raw Cowhides purchase price (Taka/sft) 86.79 106.04 (18.15)• Raw Goatskins purchase price ,, 43.21 69.13 (37.49)• Cow leather selling price ,, 168.00 175.00 (4.00)• Goat leather selling price ,, 112.86 120.40 (6.26)• Chemical cost ,, 34.66 36.48 (4.99)• Operating expenses (Taka in ‘000’) 146,534 175,884 (16.69)• Gross profit ,, 252,681 273,390 (7.57)• Net profit ,, 90,994 95,269 (4.49)• Earnings per share (Taka) 5.97 6.25 (4.49)

INVENTORIES We normally purchase huge quantities of raw hides and skins during the Eid-ul-Azha festival, so that our production is not adversely affected due to low supply during the rest of the year. This year’s inventory represents 119 days of production.

APPROPRIATION OF PROFITS Year Ended Year Ended June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015Profit after tax 90,994 95,269Prior Year’s Retained Earnings (Post dividend) 383,353 356,664Balance of profit available for Appropriation 474,347 451,933

DIVIDENDSDuring the year EPS of your Company was Taka 5.97. Directors decided in the Board Meeting held on August 16, 2016 to recommend dividend of Taka 4.00 per share of Taka 10/- each. After your approval in this General Meeting, the dividend will be paid to the Shareholders.

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

This Year Previous Year Total TotalWorkers 611 657Staff 179 189Management 32 32

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS The EU recession and depressed demand in China, have adversely affected leather exports from Bangladesh. The management feels that, in order to improve the performance, the production of finished leather for Japan could be a solution.

The Centralized Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), built by the Chinese for Government of Bangladesh is in the final stages of completion. The construction of our new tannery in Savar is going on in full swing and we hope to start commercial production by December, 2016. We are happy to inform you that about 340,000 square feet of the new tannery will be fully compliant with latest machineries, fire fighting equipments, rain water harvesting, workers dormitories, cross ventilation, ample natural light etc.

We are proud to inform you that the Savar tannery, when completed, will be one of the biggest and fully compliant factories in South Asia.

RISKS AND CONCERNSThe international and local media continue to remain highly critical of the adverse environmental situation in Hazaribagh, which we feel, is fully justified. No industry has the right to pollute the environment.

Because of the delay in shifting to Savar, the High Court has imposed a fine of Tk. 10,000/- per day till we start trial production in Savar. We hope to be in trial production by end of September, 2016.

DIRECTORS ELECTIONMr. Md. Rahmatullah and Mr. Md. Hedayetullah retire from the Board in terms of Articles of Association, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Mr. Md. Rahmatullah retires from the office of Managing Director in terms of section 109 & 110 of Companies Act 1994, and being eligible, offers himself for re-appointment.
