HISTORY TIMELINE
A Tradition of Innovation
More than 125 years ago, 30-year-old Dr. Wallace
C. Abbott, a practicing physician and pharmacy
proprietor, founded the company that bears his name.
Using the active part of a medicinal plant, known as
the alkaloid, he formed tiny pills, called dosimetric
granules, which provided more accurate and effective
dosing for his patients than other treatments available
at the time. The demand for these accurate granules
soon far exceeded the needs of his own practice and,
from these modest origins, was born Abbott, one of
the worlds most broad-based health care companies
and a global leader in the discovery, development and
manufacture of products that span the continuum of
care.
1915

Abbott Laboratories to

ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE
Abbotts integrity is based on decisions large and

small that our employees make each day at every
level of the company. Our decisions are guided by
our values, a sense of ethics and respect for the law.
To support our commitment to ethical conduct and
compliance with the law, Abbott has a longstanding
ethics and compliance program. The ethics and
compliance program applies to all officers, employees,
contract workers and agents of Abbott Laboratories,
its divisions, and affiliates, whether operating inside
or outside of the United States. The Abbott Code of
Business Conduct (Code) sets forth the principles
and behaviors to which all Abbott employees
must commit. All employees are required to read,
understand and certify their adherence to this Code
annually.
Our Code makes it clear that we do not tolerate illegal
or unethical behavior in any of Abbotts business
dealings. It stresses the importance of ethical and
honest conduct, appropriate treatment of confidential
information, avoiding conflicts of interest, and
the accuracy and integrity of Abbotts books and
records. In addition, it requires timely and accurate
public disclosures and compliance with relevant
laws, including food and drug laws, laws relating to
government healthcare programs and antitrust laws.
One of the key features of our Code is its Speak Up
program where by employees are encouraged through
several communication channels to report promptly
any violations or potential violations of the Code or
complaints or concerns with respect to their work
or seek guidance or advice in understanding the
applicability of the Code.
The policies and procedures supporting the principles
outlined in the Code are updated to reflect changes in
Abbott industrys codes.
A key to our ethics and compliance program is the
policies and procedures that the Abbott Office of
36
Ethics & Compliance (OEC) has created to guide

employees as they conduct their day-to-day activities
within the global healthcare community.
Ethical conduct and compliance with the law are
central to fulfilling Abbotts responsibility to our
stakeholders.
Honesty, fairness and integrity represent the necessary
conditions of an ethical workplace and are nonnegotiable.
Abbotts employees understand that earning trust is
a result of their actions, the decisions they make and
the manner in which they conduct business every day
- in matters large and small. As they perform every
aspect of their business activities, our employees are
guided by a clear understanding of legal and regulatory
requirements, company policies and procedures.

EHS trainings and executing several enhancements

in contractor safety program. Overall it proved to be
a highly successful year in which all the EHS goals
were surpassed and a truly EHS enriched culture was
promoted through-out the organization.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
Improving the energy efficiency of our facilities
can help us meet our energy challenges affordably.
However, seizing greater energy-efficiency
opportunities will require diverse strategies to meet
organizational goals, including the deployment of
better performing energy-efficient technologies and
systems.
Co-generation has markedly advanced over the years
and is more reliable and cost effective than ever
before. The main driving factors for this are the price
of natural gas, other fuels & electricity supplied by
local utility company. After considering the factors
mentioned above, a 3.2MW Cogeneration Plant was
successfully commissioned at our manufacturing site.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
STARLIMS: As a part of Quality Management System
improvement, a Laboratory Information Management
System STARLIMS deployment in Abbott Pakistan
has been completed and this system will be used for
stability studies. The data analysis in this system is
more effective and it will manage larger volumes of
data, while complying with stricter regulations and
achieving higher quality and efficiency levels.

THE WASTE BURDEN & ABBOTTS ZERO

WASTE TO LANDFILL INITIATIVE (ZWL)
When we generate waste, we must pay to dispose
it. Permitted landfill space is becoming increasingly
scarce and public and regulatory pressures for
effective waste management are increasing. Poor waste
management practices can damage a companys image.
Abbotts Zero Waste to Landfill initiative encourages
manufacturing sites to improve their waste
management practices and eliminate waste sent to
landfill. Furthermore it lowers overall environmental
impacts, reserves natural resources and engages a
broad range of employees in company environmental
initiatives.
For precisely the same reasons, the site 2014 goal was
to achieve Waste Reduction 2% absolute as compared
to 2013. However due to dedicated efforts, at the end
of the year actual reduction achieved was 30% absolute
when compared to 2013!
This was achieved by identification of significant waste
streams and implementing alternate solutions. This
waste stream was addressed in an innovative manner
by vendor education & development to collect and
reuse this waste As-is to make new products.
Employee education was also an important component
of the program which included display of Awareness
Posters & Food Waste Statistics. Training sessions
on Waste Management were also held for key team
members at the plants.

BLOOD CENTER PROGRAM - BLOOD

DONATION IN COLLABORATION WITH
INDUS HOSPITAL
Carrying forwards the tradition of CSR activities, this
year Abbott Pakistan collaborated with Indus Hospital
(a local charity hospital); for their Blood Center
Program (first of its kind in the country).
Abbott arranged blood donation centers not only
at Landhi and Korangi plants but also in a local

situation calls
for timely
care and diagnosis which can reduce the incidence of
morbidity and mortality especially among children.

Free Health Assessment Camp was one such

special initiative of Abbott to provide healthcare to
the underprivileged children. A customized child
health assessment camp was organized in a nearby
community school in Korangi. This was the same
school where Abbott had provided upgrade and repair

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES

ABBOTT ORGANIZES ALL 4 KIDZ
PATIENT AWARENESS PROGRAM TO
INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS ON
COMMON PEDIATRIC AILMENTS
BRIGHT PROJECT FOR PUBLIC

AWARENESS ABOUT SELFMONITORING OF BLOOD GLUCOSE
FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT
All 4 Kidz program is part of a series of scientific

learning programs for general physicians and
healthcare providers aimed at addressing the challenge
of implementing the latest pediatric management
protocols within the medical community, particularly
in the primary care setup. Another important spin off
for All 4 Kidz is to increase disease awareness and
promote prevention strategies in public for common
ailments of children, fulfilling the Abbott promise of
helping patients in every possible manner.
The lack of health care infrastructure, nonaffordability of the patients and non-existence of
national guidelines are the most significant obstacles
for diabetes management in Pakistan. Having realized
these issues Abbott decided to initiate a project of
self monitoring of blood glucose, BRIGHT (Better
Recommendations, Implementation and Guideline
development for Health care providers and their
Training). The objectives of BRIGHT (A Project of
SMBG) are:
1. To identify the role of self-monitoring of blood
glucose (SMBG) in the treatment and management
of diabetes mellitus.
Partnering with leading physicians in Pediatric

Sciences, Abbott has launched a Pediatric Advisory
Board to foster continuous learning of primary care
physicians, activate patient support and education
programs, propose new product initiatives to Abbott
for better services to the pediatric community and
enable Abbotts national programs to better serve the
healthcare needs of the people in Pakistan.
2. To educate and communicate the importance

and benefits of SMBG to patients and health care
professionals.
3. To develop recommendations, on the basis of
internationally recognized guidelines, which cover
and suit all populations with diabetes considering
their medical and financial restrictions but
ensuring appropriate healthcare with minimal risk.
4. To develop strategies to ensure implementation of
these recommendations with standardization.
Development of guidelines is the first part of BRIGHT
On April 20th, 2014 eminent professors in the field of

pediatrics spoke in Lahore addressing the parents and
public on common diseases in children. The seminar
started by addressing the myths and facts associated
with the management of fever in children. Other
topics included common aspects on management of
respiratory tract infections, assessment of dehydration
and safety measures to prevent diarrhea in children
and disease awareness for epilepsy in children.

project. An extensive literature search is done

considering all previous regional and international
guidelines about self monitoring of blood glucose.
The project team approached and communicated
with Advisory Board for the Care of Diabetes
(ABCD) of Pakistan for their expert opinion and
suggestions. National guidelines thus developed not
only emphasize optimal health care of diabetic patients
but also consider their affordability and compliance of
prescribed frequency of self monitoring.

remedy. We deployed our clinics at 46 different
locations across Pakistan, with trained dieticians
working in tandem with internationally certified
IMFeD trainers.
The comprehensive initiative, with its toolkits,
consumer brochures, growth charts, strategic
branding, weighing machines and height charts, gave
us newfound confidence in spreading awareness of
feeding difficulties and their remedies.
In the next phase, Abbott has started training of health

care providers all over Pakistan. Seven mega programs
and multiple small programs have been conducted
in this regard in the major cities. Abbott has actively
participated in NADEP Conference, a magnificent
conference, first time ever in Pakistan, for diabetic
educators organized by National Association of
Diabetic Educators of Pakistan (NADEP). So far Abbott
has trained more than 800 doctors and a large number
of diabetic educators at these platforms.
BRIGHT Guidelines on SMBG have been published
in well reputed medical journal of Pakistan, PJMS
(Pakistan Journal of Medical Science).
IMFED CLINICS FOR SPREADING

AWARENESS OF FEEDING
DIFFICULTIES AND THEIR REMEDIES
Feeding difficulties is a very common concern for
mothers of children aged 2 to 10 years. A large number
of mothers were still struggling with confusion
and misinformation about their kids eating habits
especially in relation to feeding difficulties. Abbott
saw the gap in knowledge and knew that with the
right guidance, mothers would come to understand
this issue better and be more willing to give serious
thought to their kids intake of nutrition.
Abbott chose to setup up special IMFeD clinics, a
highly specialized activity modeled after mini-clinics
that were placed at pediatrician and doctor clinics;
the places where we were most likely to find our core
target audience in a receptive mood. These clinics
were based on the proprietary IMFeD toolkit, a simple
interactive survey that not only helps identify feeding
NUTRICLINICS FOR GIVING DETAILED

NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING TO
GENERAL PUBLIC
As the years add on, our bodies change. But just
because one is growing older doesnt mean that one
has to give up on the healthy and active lifestyle that is
the true essence of life. Keeping this insight in mind,
Abbott developed and spearheaded a new initiative by
the name of NutriClinics, which aimed to instill this
sense of positivity and health in audiences that were
navigating the advanced years of their life.
These NutriClinics were placed in clinics and public
areas whereby we were anticipating a substantial
footfall of an older audience. A thorough but accessible
diagnosis was made with the help of handgrip strength
testing, BMI calculation, and caloric assessment tests.
An immediate assessment of these results was given

by a qualified nutritionist, giving detailed nutritional

counseling to the participant about where they stand
and what they can do to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
42 such Nutriclinics were deployed across key cities
of the nation, and the entire activity was designed to
provide valuable information to our target audience
about their health, as well as show the authentic
need for Ensure & Glucerna, being balanced sources
of nutrition complete with all the macro and micro
nutrients our bodies need to stay strong and fit.

OUR GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP PRIORITIES

At Abbott, we constantly work to integrate our
citizenship strategy with our core business strategy.
Abbott has four strategic priorities that, we believe,
best align our citizenship activities and resources with
our business operations. These are the material areas
where our core business can have the most significant
impact on society and the environment. We continue
to work diligently in pursuit of these priorities:
Innovating For The Future
Using our core strength as an innovator to make a

difference to the health and well-being of people
everywhere.
excellence in science, research, development and

engineering.
With increasing awareness and demands, we will
continue to run ICH-GCP (International Conference
on Harmonization Good Clinical Practices) complaint
clinical trials with the highest ethical standards to
demonstrate clinical effectiveness and with robust
Pharmacovigilance system to establish the safety of
Abbott products with our consumers. This in turn will
ensure availability of health care solutions for doctors
and highest quality products for patients.
Enhancing Access
Our ongoing investment in R & D enables us to address

the ever changing global disease burden and to foster
new, improved solutions for emerging health care
challenges.
Supporting Patients and Consumers
ENHANCING ACCESS
Breaking down the barriers that prevent many people

worldwide from accessing the medicine and health
care they need.
Working to improve quality of life for our patients
and consumers, while helping to educate health care
professionals about the latest tools and treatments.
Safeguarding the Environment
Playing our part in addressing the global challenges of

climate change and water scarcity while minimizing
the environmental impacts of our products.
These four priorities provide a clear road map for
pursuing our responsibilities as a socially responsible
citizen, yet are flexible enough to enable creativity and
innovation across our diverse mix of businesses.
INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE

Scientific discovery and innovation are the hallmarks
of Abbotts business and the core of our commitment
to advancing health and well being. Our broad
scientific expertise enables us to create new health
care products, carry them through the critical stages
of development and then deliver them to patients and
health care providers around the world. Our diverse
portfolio of pharmaceuticals, nutrition, medical and
diagnostic devices share a common framework of
Our expertise and resources help to bridge gaps in

healthcare access. We tailor our approach to specific
patient needs in specific regions of the world.
Expanding access to care requires addressing a
complex array of challenges. Lack of awareness
about health care issues and treatments, inadequate
healthcare infrastructure and social stigmas also can
make it difficult for patients to get the medicines they
need. We work to address these and other obstacles
as part of our core business strategy and as part of our
commitment to enhancing global health and wellbeing.
Expanding access to health care for patients around
the world is a key component of Abbotts commitment
to citizenship and is integral to our core business
strategy. One of the most critical challenges facing our
society is a broad lack of awareness about health care
issues and treatments.
Abbott continues to be committed towards improving
the quality of life of the people it serves.

Educating Healthcare Professionals - We continue

to invest in continuing medical education of our
healthcare professionals while striking a balance
between continuing education and ethics compliance.
Reaching out to Under-served Communities - Abbott is
also aware of its surroundings and is committed
to giving back to the community where it operates.
SUPPORTING PATIENTS & CONSUMERS

Our ability to create life-enhancing and life-preserving
products is constantly bolstered by scientific advances,
but delivering on our commitment to patients and
consumers goes well beyond the laboratory. To
deliver safe and effective products - at the right time
and in the right dosage or formulation - we work to
educate patients and health care professionals about
potential risks and side effects. All medicines, health
care interventions, procedures and products carry
some degree of risk - which must be balanced against
the often greater risks associated with the illnesses or
injuries these interventions are designed to treat. Fully
52
educating and informing our stakeholders about these

risks and benefits is paramount. Along with educating
patients and health care professionals about the safe
use of our products, we work hard to ensure safety and
consumer protection throughout the manufacturing
and distribution process. The safety of many product
ingredients is generating significant debate throughout
the health care industry. At the same time, the broad
geographic dispersion of our supply chain requires
increased oversight and auditing.
Our obligation to protect patients and consumers
goes beyond simply complying with regulatory
requirements. It means earning and keeping the trust
of all those who depend on our products by:
Ensuring quality, safety and product integrity
across the full spectrum of research, development
and manufacturing of our products and packaging.
Ensuring the quality, safety and authenticity of
each product that bears the Abbott name through
our distribution channels.
ABBOTT PAKISTAN
Effectively identifying and targeting the

most appropriate patient profiles for each
Abbott product and ensuring that health care
professionals are fully informed of the benefits and
risks of our products.
Directly and indirectly educating patients about
proper storage, use and disposal of their medicines
and health care products under appropriate
medical supervision.
As a leader in global health care, Abbotts goal is to
create and develop products that preserve and enhance
the lives of patients and consumers.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

We work diligently to reduce our global environmental
impacts - from the sourcing of raw materials, to the
manufacture and distribution of our products, to
the use and disposal of our products by consumers
and health care providers. Our environmental
stewardship initiatives help protect the planet while
improving efficiency, reducing costs and preserving
our ability to do business in the future. We have three
environmental priorities:
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Require contractors working on behalf of Abbott

to conform to regulatory requirements and meet
applicable internal Environment, Health and
Safety (EHS) standards.
Establish goals and strategies for the enterprise
and report publicly on our progress.
Integrate sound EHS practices consistent with
our management system into all aspects of the
business, maintaining legal compliance.
Our global standards include technical program
requirements, metrics and audit and reporting
mechanisms that serve as a baseline expectation for
health and safety performance worldwide. Every
Abbott manufacturing plant implements a plan based
on these standards and is evaluated regularly.
Clear policies, standards and management system
ensure we operate in a manner that protects
both human health and the environment. Our
environmental management metrics, auditing and
reporting mechanisms are evaluated regularly, and we
hold our employees responsible for improving their
performance against these targets as part of our annual
performance appraisal process.
Climate change
Water usage
Product stewardship
We recognize the interrelated nature of these three
priorities. Our work in one area inevitably affects
the others. We have developed comprehensive
management and governance systems to ensure that
environmental considerations are fully integrated into
our day-to-day planning and business processes. Our
environmental stewardship initiatives help protects
the planet while improving efficiency, reducing costs
and preserving our ability to do business in the future.
Our environmental policy achieves these objectives:
Improve the efficiency and sustainability of
our business activities and products, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste.

Profit ratio remained at 38%, the same as of previous year.
Increase in selling and distribution expenses is mainly
attributable to realignment of our field force and the

expenses increased due to unusual political situation during
the year which resulted in unavailability of containers, hence
increased freight charges.
Profit after tax for the year increased by 11% over prior year.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT
BUSINESS CHALLENGES AND FUTURE

OUTLOOK
The Company continues to face the ever present challenges
of rapid escalation in energy prices, coupled with inflation.
In the absence of corresponding price adjustments, efforts
are being made to offset increase in manufacturing and
operating cost through productivity improvements, cost
containment and process simplification.
Considering the steady escalation in input costs, we
request the Government of Pakistan to adopt a rational
and transparent pricing mechanism to ensure continued
availability of quality pharmaceutical products in the
market. Abbott Pakistan along with other members of
the pharmaceutical industry continues to work with the
Government for the implementation of a rational acceptable
pricing policy for pharmaceutical products. Rationalisation
of taxes, especially through zero rating the pharmaceutical
industry for sales tax purposes is an urgent need to ensure
availability of quality pharmaceuticals to the patients.
The Drug Regulatory Authority has significant importance
for the overall development of pharmaceutical industry.
We hope that the Authority will remain affirmative in
helping the industrys revival and redressing various long
outstanding issues.
Lack of enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights remains
a matter of concern for the industry. Concrete steps need to
be taken to address the growing menace of both piracy and
counterfeiting. Active implementation and monitoring would
help the industry and the consumers.

ABBOTT PAKISTAN
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL RATIOS

PROFITABILITY RATIOS
The increase in profit after tax by 11% compared to prior year
is mainly attributable to volume growth, favourable product
mix and effective cost controls.
Gross Profit ratio and Net Profit to sales ratio remained at
38% and 14% respectively, same as of previous year. These
have been sustained despite increases in operating costs.
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
The increase in cashflows from operating activities is mainly
attributable to improved profitability and better working
captial management which accordingly resulted in increase
in cash and cash equivalents by Rs 2,484 million as compared
to prior year end.
Increase in cash & cash equivalents has resulted in increase
in liquidity ratios such as currrent ratio (2014: 3.86, 2013:
3.56), quick / acid test ratio (2014: 2.76, 2013: 2.27) and cash
to current liabilities (2014: 2.39, 2013: 1.76).
Dividend pay out ratio remained same at 0.27 (times) in 2014,

compared to previous year due to increase in final dividend
declared from Rs 4 per share from 2013 to Rs 4.8 per share in
2014.
Break-up value per share has increased from Rs 89.35 in 2013
to Rs 111.05 in 2014 due to increase in total equity this year by
2,124 million as compared to prior year.
Market capitalization has increased from Rs 38,524 million
in 2013 to Rs 69,576 million in 2014 due to increase in market
price per share from Rs 393.50 in 2013 to Rs 710.68 in 2014
CAPITAL STRUCTURE RATIOS

There is no short-term or long-term debt as at balance sheet
date, therefore capital structure ratios like financial leverage
ratio, weighted average cost of debt and debt to equity ratio
are not relevant.
ACTIVITY / TURNOVER RATIOS

Operating cycle has declined overall from 52.39 days in 2013
to 44.17 days in 2014 due to better inventory management
which has resulted in reduced number of days in inventory.
Total assets turnover ratio declined from 1.68 in 2013 to
1.58 in 2014 due to increase in cash & cash equivalents as
explained above.
Fixed assets turnover ratio increased from 5.82 in 2013 to
5.96 in 2014 due to decrease in capital expenditure from
Rs. 973 million in 2013 to Rs. 661 million in 2014 mainly due
to Cogen plant acquisition last year.
INVESTMENT / MARKET RATIOS

Earnings per share increased from Rs 25.83 in 2013 to Rs
28.77 in 2014 as a result of the increase in profit after tax by
11% compared to prior year as mentioned above.
P/E ratio increased from 15.23 in 2013 to 24.70 in 2014 and
dividend yield ratio decreased from 1.8% in 2013 to 1.1% in
2014, mainly due to the increase in market price per share
from Rs 393.50 in 2013 to Rs 710.68 in 2014.

ABBOTT PAKISTAN
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
COMMENTS ON PROFIT
AND LOSS ACCOUNT
SALES
Net sales for the year increased 14% over prior year.
Pharmaceutical sales for the year increased by 15% over prior
year mainly due to unit growth and improved product-mix.
Anti-infectives, gastro preparations, pain management, antiepileptics and women health recorded strong double digit
growth. Nutritional sales for the year posted 18% growth
over prior year due to volume and selective price increases in
certain products.
SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES

Increase in selling and distribution expenses by 20% from
the previous year is mainly attributable to realignment of our
field force and the induction of trade team. Further, freight
and forwarding expenses increased due to unusual political
situation during the year which resulted in unavailability of
containers, hence increased freight charges.
OTHER INCOME
Other income increased by 74% over prior year mainly due to
increase in interest income owing to increase in cash surplus
that was invested in short term deposits.
TAXATION
There is an increase in taxation from prior year mainly due to
prior year charges and higher profitability.
COMMENTS ON BALANCE
SHEET
CURRENT ASSETS
There is an increase in Cash and bank balances from
prior year mainly due to increase in cash generated from
operations and interest income earned over the bank
balances.
CURRENT LIABILITIES
Trade and other payables have increased over prior year in
line with the rising business volume.
EQUITY
Equity grew from prior year primarily due to profit for the
year, partially offset by final and interim dividends during
the year.
COMMENTS ON CASH

2014 ANNUAL REPORT
REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON STATEMENT

OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE OF CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
We have reviewed the enclosed Statement of Compliance with the best practices contained in the Code of Corporate Governance
(the Code) prepared by the Board of Directors of Abbott Laboratories (Pakistan) Limited (the Company) for the year ended 31
December 2014 to comply with the requirements of Listing Regulations No. 35 Chapter XI of Karachi Stock Exchange Limited,
Lahore Stock Exchange Limited and Islamabad Stock Exchange Limited, where the Company is listed.
The responsibility for compliance with the Code is that of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to review,
to the extent where such compliance can be objectively verified, whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of
the Companys compliance with the provisions of the Code and report if it does not and to highlight any non-compliance with
the requirements of the Code. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Companys personnel and review of various
documents prepared by the Company to comply with the Code.
As a part of our audit of the financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal
control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We are not required to consider whether
the Board of Directors statement on internal controls covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the effectiveness
of such internal controls, the Companys corporate governance procedures and risks.
The Code requires the Company to place before the Audit Committee, and upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, place
before the Board of Directors for their review and approval its related party transactions distinguishing between transactions
carried out on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arms length transactions and transactions which are not executed at
arms length price and recording proper justification for using such alternate pricing mechanism. We are only required and
have ensured compliance of this requirement to the extent of the approval of the related party transactions by the Board of
Directors upon recommendation of the Audit Committee. We have not carried out any procedures to determine whether the
related party transactions were undertaken at arms length price or not.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance does
not appropriately reflect the Companys compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in the Code, as
applicable to the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014.

2.1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards, as applicable in
Pakistan, requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affects the application
of policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates. The estimates underlying the assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only
that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.
Judgments and estimates made by the management that may have a significant risk of material adjustments
to the financial statements in the subsequent years are as follows:
i)
Useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment (note 2.3 and note 8.1);
101
ABBOTT PAKISTAN
2014 ANNUAL REPORT

ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
2.2
Provision for slow moving and obsolete stock-in-trade (note 2.6 and note 13);
Estimates of receivables and payables in respect of staff retirement benefit schemes (note 2.14 and note 21);
Provision for taxation (note 2.9, note 5 and note 27); and
Share based compensation (note 2.23 and 30).
Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are
presented in Pakistani Rupees, which is also the Companys functional currency.
2.3
Fixed assets
Property, plant and equipment
a)
Owned
These assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss (if any) except
freehold land, which is stated at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful
lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
b)
Leased
Leased asset comprises of leasehold land which is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment, if any.
c)
Depreciation / amortisation
Depreciation is charged to income applying the straight line method whereby the cost less residual
value of an asset is allocated over its estimated useful life at the rates given in note 8.1. Depreciation
on assets is charged from the month of addition to the month of disposal. The assets residual values
and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Amortisation on
leasehold land is charged to profit and loss account equally over the period of the lease.
d) Gains or losses on disposal of fixed assets

Gains or losses on disposal of fixed assets are taken to the profit and loss account in the period in which
they arise.
e)
Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount and recognised as a separate asset as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow
to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred.
f)
Capital work-in-progress
This is stated at cost less impairment loss, if any, and consists of expenditure incurred and advances
made in the course of construction and installation. These are transferred to specific assets as and when
the assets are available for use.
102
ABBOTT PAKISTAN
2.4
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Intangible asset
An intangible asset is recognised as an asset if it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the
asset will flow to the entity and the cost of such asset can be measured reliably.
Intangible asset with finite life is measured initially at cost and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses, if any. It is amortised on a straight line basis over its estimated useful
life.
The amortisation period for intangible assets with finite useful lives is reviewed at each year end and is
changed to reflect the useful life expected at respective year end.
2.5
Stores and spares

These are valued at cost determined on weighted average basis. Cost in relation to items in transit comprises
of invoice value and other charges incurred thereon up to the balance sheet date. Provision is made in the
financial statements for obsolete and slow moving items based on estimates regarding their usability.
2.6
Stock-in-trade
Stock of raw and packing materials, work-in-process and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost,
calculated on first-in-first-out basis, and net realisable value. Cost in relation to work-in-process and
finished goods represent direct cost of materials, direct wages and an appropriate portion of production
overheads. Cost in relation to items in transit represent invoice value and other charges incurred thereon
up to the balance sheet date.
Net realisable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated
costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.7
Trade debts and other receivables

Trade debts and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured
at amortised cost less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade debts is estimated
when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according
to the original terms of the receivables. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an
allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the profit and loss account within other
operating charges. When a trade debt is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for
trade debts. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to other income in the
profit and loss account.
2.8
Sample inventory
Sample inventory is classified as prepayment in the balance sheet and is carried at cost. The cost of sample
inventory is charged to profit and loss account on issuance of samples to medical practitioners. Provision
is made in the financial statements for obsolete and slow moving items based on estimates regarding their
usability.
2.9
Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxation after taking into
account tax credits and rebates available, if any, and taxes paid under the Final Tax Regime (FTR). The
charge for current tax also includes adjustments for prior years or otherwise considered necessary for such
years.
103
ABBOTT PAKISTAN
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Deferred
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences between

105
ABBOTT PAKISTAN
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Non-financial assets
The carrying amount of non-financial assets other than inventories are assessed at each reporting date
to ascertain whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the assets
recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised, as an expense in the profit and loss
account, for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less cost to sell and value in use. Value in use is
ascertained through discounting of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the assets. For the purpose
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash flows (cash generating units).
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
had been recognised.
2.20 Financial instruments
All financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Company becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised at the time when the
Company loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets. All financial liabilities are
derecognised at the time when they are extinguished that is, when the obligation specified in the contract
is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gains or losses on derecognition of financial assets and financial
liabilities are taken to the profit and loss account currently.
2.21
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the financial statements only
when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to
settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.22
Segment reporting
Segment reporting is based on the operating (business) segments of the Company. An operating segment
is an identifiable component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of
the Companys other components and for which discrete financial information is available. An operating
segments operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make
decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well
as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets,
income tax assets, liabilities and related income and expenditure. Segment capital expenditure is the total

Contingencies
7.1.1
The Company has given bank guarantees of Rs. 135.054 million (2013: Rs. 111.980 million) to the Customs
Department, a utility company and other institutions against tenders.
7.1.2
The returns of total income for four tax years (Tax Years 2005 2008) were selected for audit by the
tax authority. The Taxation Officer disallowed certain expenses claimed by the Company against which
the Company filed appeals before the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [CIR(A)]. The CIR(A)
allowed certain expenses, however, maintained majority of the disallowances resulting in tax demand of
Rs. 239.695 million. The Company has now filed the appeals before the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue
(ATIR) which are pending adjudication.
Management is of the view that the position of the Company is sound and eventual outcome is expected to
be in Companys favour. However, being prudent, management has made a provision of entire tax demand
in the financial statements (2013: Rs. 30 million).
7.1.3
The Commissioner Inland Revenue (CIR) has selected the case of the Company for audit of tax year 2012
(accounting year December 31, 2011) and has requested various information from the Company in this
regard. The Company believes that only the Federal Board of Revenue has the right to select the Company
for audit based on defined criteria or through random balloting and the CIR does not have the right to
select the Company for Audit. The Company has filed writ petition in the High court in this regard.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions
constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the
same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit
method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the pension liability
recognised within the statement of financial position.

assets and liabilities.
35.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Companys activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk
(including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk). The Companys
overall risk management programme focuses on minimizing potential adverse effects on the Companys
financial performance. The overall risk management of the Company is carried out by the Companys senior
management team under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Such policies entail identifying,
evaluating and addressing financial risks of the Company.
The Companys overall risk management procedures to minimize the potential adverse affects of financial
market on the Companys performance are as follows:
35.1
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the
other party to incur a financial loss without taking into account the fair value of any collateral. Concentration
of credit risk arises when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities or have
similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly
affected by changes in economical, political or other conditions. Concentrations of credit risk indicate the
relative sensitivity of the Companys performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
Credit risk of the Company arises principally from the trade debts, loans and advances, trade deposits, other
receivables and balances with banks. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum
credit exposure. To reduce the exposure to credit risk on trade debts, the Company has developed a formal
approval process, whereby credit limits are applied to its customers. The management continuously
monitors the credit exposure towards the customers and makes provision against those balances considered
doubtful of recovery. The credit risk on liquid funds such as balances with banks is limited because the
counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings.

The Company is not significantly exposed to concentrations of credit risk in respect of trade debts because
the Companys sales are primarily against advance payment / collection on delivery (COD) terms. As at
December 31, 2014, trade debts of Rs. 107.135 million (2013: Rs. 143.732 million) were past due but not
impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of
default. The aging of trade debts past due but not impaired is as follows:

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with
financial liabilities. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company could be required
to pay its liabilities earlier than expected or encounters difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments
associated with financial liabilities as they fall due. The Companys approach to managing liquidity is
to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash / bank balance and the availability
of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. As at December 31, 2014, the
Companys financial liabilities of Rs. 1,832.650 million (2013: Rs. 1,486.460 million) are all current and
due in next financial year.
35.3
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of financial instrument may fluctuate as a result of changes in
market interest rates or the market price due to a change in credit rating of the issuer or the instrument,
change in market sentiments, speculative activities, supply and demand of securities and liquidity in the
market. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
The Company is not exposed to other price risk whereas the exposure to currency risk and interest rate
risk is given below:
35.3.1
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. It arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due
to transactions entered into foreign currencies.
The Companys exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

is performed on the same basis for the previous year.
