PRODUCTS
AND
MARKETS
CI Sheets are galvanized sheet iron or steel which are primarily as roofing
side and peripheral fencing materials.
The sheets are usually corrugated to give it added strength in construction.

m
co
d.
ab
nk

The manufacturing process of such sheets starts from lifting Iron Ore from mine and processing it to Slab through
La

series of process and treatments and then hot rolled & pressed to convert it into Hot Rolled Coil undergoing a
variety of treatments. HR coils are then ‘cold rolled’ into) coils before it is hot dipped, galvanized and corrugated
(at a Continuous Galvanizing Line- CGL or Non –Oxidizing Furnace –NOF) into what we know as Corrugated
Iron (CI) sheets.

VARIOUS USES OF CI SHEET


• Residential use: CI sheets are used for roofing, side and peripheral fencing purposes. It is the preferred
product for residential construction in villages and shanty towns in Bangladesh due to their cheaper price
compared to traditional bricks and brick tiles. For roofing and side fencing for homes in villages accumu-
late more than 90% of total CI sheet sales. Villagers tend to purchase it during the January-April period
as villagers prefer to build or repair their houses during harvesting season. Urban and Semi Urban dwell-
ers (shanty towns) use CI sheets for roofing for homes. A house made using CI sheets in rural areas and
shanty towns used to signify affluence and that mode of thinking still exists today.

• Industrial use: Industry owners use CI sheets for roofing of new factories, warehouses and sheds. CI
sheets are also used for fencing factory area. Industrial users prefer it due to cheaper price.

• Agricultural use: CI sheets are used for roofing cow sheds, roofing and side fencing of poultry farms
and fencing of agricultural projects.
• Construction use: CI sheets are used for fencing around construction area.
• Shopkeepers/Traders use it for roofing of small shops, shutters etc.

NOF-Non Oxide Furnace


Due to the increased demand of NOF products, Appollo is going to start NOF based Galvanizing Plant at its
existing plant site where required land area and Machineries has been purchased and installing work is being
started. This will make Appollo’s product more popular in the market. It will be an environmental friendly project.
Further added by 60,000 MT by the upcoming RTF Technology based NOF C.I. Sheet manufacturing facility by
mid of 2014 Appollo is confident to further increase its market share. The technology and plant & machinery for
expansion (NOF)vproject will be brought from Esmech India Ltd. which is a joint venture company with SMS
Germany. Since the NOF project will be based on the technology of SMS Germany who are well prominent strip
processing solution, the product quality will be certainly better than existing mills in Bangladesh as their produc-
tion technology are mostly based on Indian technology. One very important factor associated with RTF based
NOF project is that, the NOF (Non Oxide Furnace) is technologically designed for producing environment friendly
products since in this system there will be no use of acid or lead. Due improved shininess and product quality
consumers are now more and more shifting from conventional Galvanized product to NOF Products.

To meet the export demand, if future Appollo has also plan to install the 2nd line of CRM. Since 90% of the Civil Works

Therefore, when Appollo will market its NOF products under the current brand name of ‘Appollo Rani”, certainly
due to brand reputation, geographical advantage, strong channel of distribution and better quality it will be advan-
tageous for Appollo to get a brand-edge over the other brands in the market which will provide the best platform
to leverage the growing demand of CI sheets. All these favorable factors make the company the right choice to
d.
further expand the CI sheet market of Bangladesh through its most modern NOF Project.
In view of the increasing demand of steel products in Bangladesh Appollo has a plan to include the Colour
ab

Coating Sheet in its existing product line which is becoming popular all over the country and has good potentials
for export to southeast Asian countries. For this purpose a modern Colour Coating plant & equipments will be
incorporated in future to be installed in the existing plant site which will be capable of manufacturing high quality
nk

corrugated steel sheets of Flat & Round wave and also Colour Quoted Flat Sheets.
To meet the export demand, if future Appollo has also plan to install the 2nd line of CRM. Since 90% of the Civil
Works were completed during the installation of 1st CRM Line the 2nd line can be installed at a comparatively

AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF APPOLLO ISPAT COMPLEX LIMITED

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of APPOLLO ISPAT COMPLEX LIMITED (AICL)
which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2015, Statement of Profit and Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 30
June 2015 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management

m
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility

co
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with
d.
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
ab

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
nk

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
La

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.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
01. Reference to Note # 03 & 04
We observed weak control over fixed assets of the company as they did not maintain any fixed asset
register. The supporting documents and papers against additions to fixed assets and capital work in
process of Taka 317,692,557 (Fixed Assets for Taka 11,455,808 and Capital work in process of Taka
306,236,749) could not be made available to us for our verification out of total additions of Taka
800,456,904 during the year.

62 ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15

adding back tax on unabsorbed depreciation of previous years. No disclosure was made in notes to the
Financial Statements in support to this adjustment and the basis on which this adjustment was made.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effect of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraphs

m
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, (or give a true and fair view of) the financial
position of APPOLLO ISPAT COMPLEX LIMITED as at 30 June 2015 and (of) its financial performance and
its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS),

co
comply with the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable Laws and Regulations.
We also report that:
d.
a) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
