Julphar is a proud Emirati Company with great ambitions to thrive in international markets and this remains at the heart of our business. A key priority is to identify opportunities which will create long-term value for our Shareholders and enable us to provide quality, affordable medicines to people now and in future generations. I believe our staff is our greatest asset. I would like to congratulate the Julphar Executive team for their leadership abilities and producing sustainable returns. We are focusing on developing a skilled National work force through our Emiratisation program and Absher initiative, and encouraging all staff to develop skills in their chosen vocation. As the Global Healthcare market continues to increase at a tremendous rate, Julphar is greatly positioned to truly shape this industry. We extend our thanks to the Government, our Customers, Employees, our wellwishers, Board of Directors and all other stakeholders for their wholehearted and continued support and contribution in the success of Julphar. “ The UAE is driving forward healthcare expansion at an international level and Julphar is proud to play a significant role in shaping the future of our industry.

Together, we have been working hard to deliver quality, affordable healthcare to our communities; a vision which remains at the core of our business strategy and creates overall value to the Board, Shareholders, Staff and our Customers. 2014 was a challenging year. We, like many others, felt the effects of uncertain and devastating Geopolitics in major markets such as Iraq, Syria and Libya. We continued to look at growth opportunities in other markets - particularly around Africa - and sought after areas where we could expand our manufacturing capabilities globally. Construction progressed greatly on our KSA Plant (in conjunction with our local partner Cigalah) and we commenced preparations to expand our facility in Ethiopia, focusing on insulin and other required products. At a more local level, the GCC will remain a cornerstone of our growth strategy due to increased healthcare expenditure from local Governments combined with the maturity of the Health Insurance Industry. Our ongoing approach is to work in alignment with GCC Authorities to ensure they have a trusted local partner in advancing Healthcare throughout our neighboring countries. Over the recent years, Julphar has made the transition from a local company to a global player and have had to adapt our own internal operations accordingly. This year we performed a Human Resources Department audit and produced a gap analysis which led to improvements in our Recruitment and Selection Process. We added a Talent Management division to the HR department and restructured certain areas to increase operational efficiencies. Finally, we are confident that 2015 will present new opportunities and expanding our manufacturing capabilities will remain a key priority in our overall growth strategy. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors, our Executive team and our network of global staff whose support and dedication ensures we are delivering sustainable healthcare to our markets.

G.V.G. Krishna, CFO Our core manufacturing business continues to drive our growth. As we focus on increasing our current facility capabilities, we are also seeking new manufacturing opportunities in markets such as Algeria and KSA. The sales mix has seen some shifts during the year. In the private market segment, our traditional strongholds like the UAE and Saudi Arabia have seen solid growth and countries such as Egypt and Lebanon have also seen a strong demand for our Annual report 2014_NP.indd 12 4/22/15 12:15 PM Annual Report 2014 13 Top Performing Countries and Products (sales) Egypt MEBO RISEK JULMENTIN JUSPRIN ADOL 25 m 20 m 10 m 9.7 m 7.9 m Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Lebanon Lebanon PROFINAL 9 m JULMENTIN 7 m MEBO 6 m EPOTIN 5 m TRIAXONE 4 m UAE MEBO TRIAXONE JULMENTIN ADOL RISEK 41 m 22 m 20 m 16 m 15 m Iraq ADOL 7 m JULMENTIN 5 m TRIAXONE 4.7 m MEBO 4.5 m RISEK 4.4 m RISEK 12 m MEBO 12 m JULMENTIN 7 m ADOL 6.5 m CEFUZIME 5.6 m Annual report 2014_NP.indd 13 4/22/15 12:15 PM 14 www.julphar.net Julphar is one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and distributes medicines to over 40 countries. Established in 1980 in the UAE, its first stand-alone facility produced only five products. The decision to create Julphar came at a time when the UAE was making the transition from herbal medicines to conventional medicines, and the creators of Julphar wanted to invest in a sector which would generate long-term value for the Emirates. Over three decades later, it currently operates twelve internationally certified manufacturing facilities globally, produces over a million boxes of medicines daily and holds 3,646 product registration certificates. Eleven of our Facilities are based in the UAE and covers production areas including Tablets, Syrups and Suspensions. In 2014, Julphar launched a twelfth manufacturing facility in Ethiopia, as part of its ongoing international expansion strategy. Julphar’s core business is manufacturing and over the recent years decided to focus on innovation in Biotechnology with the launch of a $150m Manufacturing Facility entirely dedicated to producing Raw Material needed for Biosimilar products. Today, this facility is the only plant in the MENA region that produces insulin using insulin crystals derived from r-DNA technology. Biosimilars are the more molecular-complex products, whose active substance is derived from a living organism by means of human recombinant DNA. Using human recombinant DNA technology to produce their own raw material means Julphar is uniquely positioned to provide its major markets - Middle East, Africa – as well as beyond with the API (Added Pharmaceutical Ingredient) needed to make insulin and erythropoietin. Emerging markets remain a key priority for sustainable growth, as Annual report 2014_NP.indd 14 Julphar’s Middle Eastern roots allow them to reach difficult markets in a timely manner. Julphar maintains a diverse product portfolio which target major therapeutic segments including endocrinology, anti-infective, cardiovascular and gastroenterology, over-the-counter, nephrology, dermatology, respiratory, metabolic and burn and wound management. As part of its on-going responsibility, Julphar partners with local and global companies to make a positive impact across all healthcare sectors by dedicating 2.5% of annual profits to CSR. This goes towards funds and scholarships to Educational facilities and sponsorship of various health campaigns across the MENA. Julphar employs approximately 3000 personnel around the world and registered sales revenue of AED 1.442 billion in the year ending 2014, up 6% year-on-year (yoy). Sales during the year were driven by the private market sales which saw a yoy growth of 8%. The company continued to show robust operational performance during 2014. Gross Profit during the period was AED 857.2 million, up 4.4% yoy. Operating Profit for the year, on the other hand, was AED 238.3 million, up 1.1% yoy. Operating profit margin during the period was a robust 16.5%. Profit for the year was AED 233.8 million, up 2.5% yoy. With over 800 products produced in various dosage forms and more in the pipeline, Julphar is a stellar example of one of the UAE’s local businesses making an impact on the global stage. Julphar in essence, is Sustaining Health across the globe. 4/22/15 12:15 PM Annual Report 2014 15 Sustaining Health For over 30 years we have been delivering high quality, affordable medicines to our communities Annual report 2014_NP.indd 15 4/22/15 12:15 PM 16 www.julphar.net 2014 in Numbers Total Sales (AED) Uzbekistan Tunisia Morocco Algeria 1.44 bn Sudan Iraq Pakistan Libya Azerbaijan South Sudan Egypt Afghanistan Nigeria Lebanon Jordan Yemen Senegal Kenya Ethiopia Somalia Uganda Tanzania Mauritius Ecuador Madagascar Malawi 40 213 Global Offices Branded Products 2900 Employees Annual report 2014_NP.indd 16 40 MenaCool trucks 3646 Product 40 Countries Registration Certificates products are sold in 4/22/15 12:15 PM Annual Report 2014 17 Annual Manufacturing Capacities JI - Solid Dosage Forms Plant 5000 Million Tablets 600 Million Capsules 5 million Powder Pro-Suspension Tajikistan JII - Ampoules and Vials Plant 30 Million Ampoules 6 Million Lyophilized Vials China JIII - Penicillin Plant 600 million tablets and capsules 5 million antibiotic powders for suspension Malaysia Indonesia Thailand JIV - Oral Cephalosporin Plant 300 Million Tablets and Capsules, 5 Million of Antibiotic Powder Pro-Suspension JV – Packaging Plant as needed Philippines GCC JVI - Liquid Orals Plant 94 Million bottles of Syrup, Suspensions and Drops UAE KSA Bahrain Oman Kuwait JVII - Biotech EPO Plant 150 grams of Erythropoietin JVIII - Liquid and Lyophilized 50 million units Vials and Ampoules JIX - Cephalosporin Powder Filling Plant 30 million units 200,000 Pallets loaded 16 Quality Audits 100 JX - Semi Solid Plant 60 million Tubes of Creams and Ointments 200 million Suppositories JXI - Julphar Insulin Plant 1.4 kilograms of API JXII - Julphar Ethiopia 500 million tablets 25 million bottles 170 million capsules Products Registered Annual report 2014_NP.indd 17 4/22/15 12:15 PM 18 www.julphar.net Other Highlights Every year Julphar aims to provide Education Programs, CME’s Initiatives and Medical Updating Symposiums for Physicians across our markets.

The API business had the greatest increase through new partners and existing product development agreements. The oral anti-diabetic business continued growth at a steady pace. In addition to the existing markets for insulin, new markets were added totaling 15 countries where the insulin is registered. This gives us access to local and regional tenders where we do not have a direct presence. A very robust Ramadan Campaign was conducted in 2014. The campaign was an integrated program for safe fasting during Ramadan, which included meal planning, exercising, blood glucose monitoring, and recognizing and managing complications. The campaign used Arabic, English and French to maximize reach to and impact on relevant stakeholders in UAE, KSA, Iraq, Lebanon and Tunisia. A Ramadan Kit with a self-monitoring blood glucose device and strips through our agreement with Bayer Diabetes was given free to patients. In order to continue to have a strong presence in the market, there were a number of initiatives that were undertaken to build on what was done in prior years. The Middle-East Kids Camp was held in March, bringing in Diabetic children from the MENA region for a week of activities in RAK. Per our commitment to physicians in our area, Defeat Diabetes 3 was held in April and Defeat Diabetes 4 was held in October. Some of the key influencers in the region spoke to the audience of about 100 physicians each on their area of expertise and interest. To better serve our pharmacist customers, we conducted the second Pharmacist Academy for UAE pharmacists where the latest pharmacy updates were shared. We partnered with RAK Hospital as part of our corporate wellness campaign. During World Diabetes Day, we tested over 400 employees for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes. All the results were given to the respective employees with a follow up session for those who had at least one of the disease states. The sessions were intended to help better manage their health issues through diet, exercise, and possible medications they could discuss with their physician. Annual report 2014_NP.indd 22 We also participated in the Arab Society of Pediatric Endocrinology held in Abu Dhabi. Our sponsorship included inviting Dr. Carlo Acerini, MD, from the University of Cambridge who lectured on the Artificial Pancreas to a regional audience of over continued support and contribution in the success of Julphar. 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 Annual report 2014_NP.indd 23 23 4/22/15 12:16 PM 24 www.julphar.net B Annual report 2014_NP.indd 24 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 25 Business Overview The Global Healthcare Market Overview of the MENA Pharmaceutical Market Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Sub-Saharan Africa North Africa Levant Annual report 2014_NP.indd 25 4/22/15 12:16 PM 26 www.julphar.net The Global Healthcare Market The demand for healthcare and medicines continues Balance of sentiment* by industry to grow globally as emerging market populations are becoming larger, older and wealthier. Julphar has been successfully meeting increasing demands for medicines in challenging emerging markets. Between 2013 and 2014, the combined sales of prescription and OTC drugs alone increased enough to result in a y-on-y growth of 1.6%. Sales for these categories as well as others are expected to continue increasing over the coming year. As prospects for the global healthcare industry are positive, Julphar expects to improve its position in 2015. Predictions published by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) indicate that improvement of business conditions in the healthcare and pharma industry will outweigh other sectors in 2015 (Figure 1). A compound annual growth rate Figure 1: Industry outlook for market conditions (CAGR) of more than 3.0% is expected through to Source: EIU3 2018 in the global pharmaceutical market1.

This could be a beneficial development for Julphar as the expected increase of patent expiries in the coming years will expose many blockbuster medicines. The market for biosimilars is also expected to improve as technical and legal problems are overcome3.

Levant CAGR (2013-2018) Pharmaceuticals: 3.4% Generics: 5.5% Julphar expects to observe positive changes in 2015 in Levant largely owing to its positive forecasts in Turkey Iraq and Syria. In addition to its existing markets, the Turkish pharmaceutical market is an attractive area for Julphar (Figure 10) due to its sizeable Lebanon population, expansion of insurance coverage and potential for generic sector growth11. Jordan Figure 10: Pharmaceutical & Generic Sales Forecasts: Levant, (CAGR), 2013-2018 Source: BMI Despite the political unrest in Iraq, Julphar expects to achieve significant growth in this market in the coming year. Increasing healthcare expenditure, a growing aging population and the Iraqi government’s pledge to invest USD276mn into the country’s healthcare infrastructure will create favorable conditions for the company. The Jordan Food and Drug Administration reduced prices of 199 types of domestic and imported drugs since the beginning of 2014 ranging from 1% to 90% of the original price. However, half of these drugs are manufactured locally. This kind of preferential treatment by the government for domestic companies is a disadvantageous development for Julphar. Additionally, the economic weakness in the country and regional political unrest do not favour Julphar’s sales growth in Jordan in 2015. In August 2014, the Public Health Minister of Lebanon issued an amended pharmaceutical bill to implement a price reduction of high cost drugs between 10-17%.

Annual report 2014_NP.indd 39 4/22/15 12:16 PM 40 www.julphar.net Outlook Given the prevailing economic conditions, we are expecting company revenues to grow at a healthy rate, with a fairly steady gross margin likely in 2015. This will likely be driven mainly by the expected organic growth of the company, complemented by its new ventures. With a large share of sales being generated in the MENA region, the company is likely to continue to benefit from the growth in the region’s pharmaceutical market as also face headwinds from the continuing instability in certain countries of the region. Overall, however, the growth is expected to remain higher than that in the other regions. Our share of the MENA market is also likely to continue to increase as we consolidate our position in our existing markets, while expanding into new markets with our growing portfolio of products. With new products and new markets, we see good scope for us to grow our business in the MENA region and beyond. Our solid balance sheet, low gearing and continued focus on operating cash flow generation is likely to continue to give us the financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities, including strategic acquisitions that could supplement our strong organic growth. We are confident that the proven strength of Julphar’s business model will likely continue to enable us to deliver a strong performance in 2015 and beyond.

Establishment and operations Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries is a public shareholding company “the Company” domiciled in Digdaga - Ras Al Khaimah. It was incorporated by the Emiri decree No.5/80 issued by H.H. The Ruler of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah and its dependencies on March 30, 1980 and the Emiri decree No.9/80 on May 4, 1980. The Group comprises Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries (Public Shareholding Company) and its subsidiaries “the Group” (Note 3). The Company’s ordinary shares are listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. The Company’s registered office address is P.O. Box. 997 Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The main activities of the Group are manufacturing and selling of medicines, drugs and various other types of pharmaceutical and medical compounds in addition to cosmetic compounds. The Company commenced its commercial activities effective from November 1984. 2. Significant accounting policies The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to each of the years presented 2.1 Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and applicable requirements of U.A.E. Federal Law No. 8 of 1984 (as amended). 2.2 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment property and certain financial instruments that have been measured at revalued amounts, amortised cost or fair value as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. 2.3 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements of Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries P.S.C. and its Subsidiaries (the “Group”) incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its Subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company: • has power over the investee; • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. Annual report 2014_NP.indd 46 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 47 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including: • the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Details of the Company’s subsidiaries as of 31 December 2014 were as follows: Place of incorporation and operation Percentage of ownership Principal activity Mena Cool F.Z.E Ras Al KhaimahUAE 100% Transportation Julphar Pharmaceuticals P.L.C Ethiopia 55% Manufacturing of medicines, wrapping and packing materials Julphar Pharma GMBH Germany 100% Manufacturing of medical supplies – Discontinued Gulf Inject L.L.C. Dubai – UAE 51%** Manufacturing of medical supplies Name of subsidiary Annual report 2014_NP.indd 47 4/22/15 12:16 PM 48 www.julphar.net Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.4 Net investment in an associate An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of an associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When a Group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group’ consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. 2.5 Revenue recognition 2.5.1 Sale of goods Sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable against these sales. Sales are reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sale of goods are recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: • • • • • Annual report 2014_NP.indd 48 The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 49 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.5.2 Interest income Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the asset’s net carrying amount. 2.5.3 Dividends Dividend revenue from investments is recognized when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established. 2.6 The Group as a lessee All of the Group’s lease contracts are of an operating lease nature and are accounted for as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. 2.7 Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each Group entity are expressed in Arab Emirates Dirhams (“AED”), which is the functional currency of the Group and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.The amounts in the consolidated financial statements are rounded to nearest thousand (“AED ’000”) except when otherwise indicated. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. 2.8 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Where applicable, investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred. Annual report 2014_NP.indd 49 4/22/15 12:16 PM 50 www.julphar.net Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.9 Property, plant and equipment Land is stated at cost less impairment loss (if any). Capital work in progress is stated at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Other property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and capital work in progress, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the profit or loss. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the anticipated useful lives, as follows: % Buildings 10-50 Plant and machinery 3-17 Installations 4-25 Motor Vehicles 3-10 Furniture and fixture 4-10 Tools and equipment 3-10 Land improvements 10-25 2.10 Investment property Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/ or for capital appreciation, is stated at its fair value at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised. Fair value is determined by open market values based on valuations performed by independent surveyors Annual report 2014_NP.indd 50 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 51 Notes to the consolidated financial statements ffor the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.11 Inventories Inventories of finished and semi finished products are valued at the lower of average production costs or net realisable value. Production costs include materials, labour, direct expenses and production overheads. Inventories of raw materials, packing materials, spare parts and other consumables are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. 2.12 Impairment of tangible assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation reserve increase. 2.13 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows, (where the effect of time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Annual report 2014_NP.indd 51 4/22/15 12:16 PM 52 www.julphar.net Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.14 Employee benefits 2.14.1 Defined contribution plan UAE national employees of the Group are members of the Government-managed retirement pension and social security benefit scheme pursuant to U.A.E. labour law no. 7 of 1999. The Group is required to contribute 12.5% of the “contribution calculation salary” of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The employees and the Government contribute 5% and 2.5% of the “contribution calculation salary” respectively, to the scheme. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement pension and social security scheme is to make the specified contributions. The contributions are charged to profit or loss. 2.14.2 Annual leave and leave passage An accrual is made for the estimated liability for employees’ entitlement to annual leave and leave passage as a result of services rendered by eligible employees up to the end of the year. 2.14.3 Provision for employees’ end of service benefits Provision is also made for the full amount of end of service benefit due to non-UAE national employees in accordance with the UAE Labour Law and is based on current remuneration and their period of service at the end of the reporting period. Provisions for employees’ end of service benefit due to employees working with entities domiciled in other countries are made in accordance with local laws and regulations applicable. The accrual relating to annual leave and leave passage is disclosed as a current liability, while the provision relating to end of service benefit is disclosed as a non-current liability. 2.15 Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 2.16 Financial assets All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Financial assets of the Group are classified into the following specified categories: bank balances and cash, financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. 2.16.1 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Annual report 2014_NP.indd 52 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 53 Notes to the consolidated financial statements ffor the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.16.2 Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if: • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or • on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: • • • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the profit or loss. 2.16.3 Available for Sale financial assets Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as being AFS and are stated at fair value. The Group also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but are also classified as AFS financial assets and stated at fair value because management considers that fair value can be reliably measured. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cumulative change in fair value of investments with the exception of impairment losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the cumulative change in fair value is reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established. The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortised cost of the asset is recognised in profit or loss, and other changes are recognised in other comprehensive income. Annual report 2014_NP.indd 53 4/22/15 12:16 PM 54 www.julphar.net Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.16.4 Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. 2.16.5 Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected. For listed and unlisted equity investments classified as AFS equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include: • • • • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment Annual report 2014_NP.indd 54 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 55 Notes to the consolidated financial statements ffor the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. 2.16.6 Derecognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset. 2.17 Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company 2.17.1 Classification as debt or equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. 2.17.2 Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group entities are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. 2.17.3 Financial liabilities The Group has classified the following financial liabilities as ‘other financial liabilities’: trade payables and accruals, unclaimed dividends and bank borrowings and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis except for short term payable when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. 2.17.4 Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire Annual report 2014_NP.indd 55 4/22/15 12:16 PM 56 www.julphar.net Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) 2.18 Share based payment arrangements Equity-settled share-based payments to employees providing services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in Note 28. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve 2.19 Dividend distribution Dividend distribution to the Shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Shareholders 3. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty While applying the accounting policies as stated in Note 3, management of the Group has made certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of the revision in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 3.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see 4.2 below), that the management have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. 3.1.1 Revenue recognition Management has considered the detailed criteria for the recognition of revenue from the sale of goods set out in International Accounting Standard 18: Revenue, and in particular whether the Company had transferred risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. Based on the acceptance by the customer of the liability for the goods sold, management is satisfied that the significant risks and rewards have been transferred and the recognition of the revenue is appropriate. 3.1.2 Allowance for doubtful debts Allowance for doubtful debts is determined using a combination of factors to ensure that the receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. The allowance for doubtful debts for all customers is based on a variety of factors, including the overall quality and aging of the receivables, continuing credit evaluation of the customers’ financial conditions and collateral requirements from customers in Annual report 2014_NP.indd 56 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 57 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) certain circumstances. Also, specific provisions for individual accounts are recorded when the Group becomes aware of the customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations. 3.1.3 Allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made at the product level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in demand, technological changes, physical deterioration and quality issues. Based on the factors, management has identified inventory items as slow and non moving to calculate the allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventories. Revisions to the allowance for slow moving inventories would be required if the outcome of these indicative factors differ from the estimates. 3.1.4 Classification of properties In the process of classifying properties, management has made various judgments. Judgment is needed to determine whether a property qualifies as an investment property, property, plant and equipment and/or property held for resale. The Group develops criteria so that it can exercise that judgment consistently in accordance with the definitions of investment property, property, plant and equipment and property held for resale. In making its judgment, management considered the detailed criteria and related guidance for the classification of properties as set out in IAS 2, IAS 16 and IAS 40, in particular, the intended usage of property as determined by the management. 4. Capital risk management The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity capital. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2013. Capital gearing ratio The Group reviews the capital structure on a quarterly basis. As part of this review, the Group considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with capital. The gearing ratio at the year end was as follows: 2014 AED’000 2013 AED’000 703,297 (120,925) 796,638 (214,614) Net debt 582,372 582,024 Equity (ii) 2,176,245 1,870,764 Debt (i) Bank balances and cash Net debt to equity ratio (times) Annual report 2014_NP.indd 57 0.27 0.31 4/22/15 12:16 PM 58 www.julphar.net Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 (continued) (i) Debt is defined as bank borrowings. (ii) Equity includes share capital, statutory reserve, voluntary reserve, foreign currency translation reserve, cumulative changes on revaluation of investments and retained earnings. 5. Financial instruments Significant accounting policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Financial risk management objectives The Group’s management observes domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through analysing risk exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group seeks to minimise the effects of risks related to financial instruments. The Group’s policies in this regards are set and approved by the board of directors who draws the overall guidelines on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the board of directors on regular basis. Market risk The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. Interest rate risk management The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as the Group borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Group is also exposed to interest rate price risk with reference to its fixed rate time deposits with banks. During the current year, interest on fixed deposits ranged from 1% to 2% per annum (2013: from 1% to 2% per annum). The risk is managed by the Group by keeping fixed interest rate bearing financial assets. If interest rates on bank borrowings had been 50 basis points higher/lower throughout the year and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 and equity as at 31 December 2014 would decrease/ increase by approximately AED 3.5 million (2013: AED 3.98 million). Annual report 2014_NP.indd 58 4/22/15 12:16 PM Annual Report 2014 59 Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group obtains information about counterparties credit worthiness from publicly available financial information and its own trading records. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved periodically by the relevant management in the Group and, where appropriate, letters of guarantee are obtained from customers. Credit risk is primarily related to the trade receivable balances which are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position net of any applicable allowances for losses that were estimated by the Group’s management based on prior experience and prevailing economic conditions. Current year’s sales include AED 729,259,000 being sales to two main customers (2013: AED 619,848,000 being sales to two main customers). Total trade receivables due from the above two main customers amounted to AED 539,113,000 as at 31 December 2014 (2013: AED 355,032,000). Credit risk related to liquid funds is limited as the counterparties are banks with sound reputation. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, dealing with financial institutions of good reputation and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Foreign currency risk management The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. There is no currency exchange risk related to transactions denominated in the US dollars or currencies linked with it as the AED rate is fixed to the US dollar. The management undertakes suitable procedures to minimise risks associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than AED and US$. 6.
