Subject: Immediate support for the following issues

Muhtaram. Assalamualikum.

At the outset, please accept our heartiest thanks & gratitude for visiting our plant with a very high level
delegation of your esteemed bank. We are personally grateful to you for your great initiative for logical
enhancement of our WC facility.

Though you are fully aware of the situation but again we want to reiterate the following issues for your
kind perusal:
Sl# Particulars Value in $
1 LC received
2 Docs Submitted for party for acceptance
3 Docs submitted for Bank Acceptance
4 Docs to be submitted within 10 December 2019
5 New Order Booked

The lead time of delivery is very short. We are managing the Raw materials requirement is a very
expensive manner. Some Raw materials is totally import based. If we can’t able to open Lc immediately
we will not be able to manage the delivery schedule resulting a huge claim due to non-shipment of
goods which is certainly unbearable.

Another humble request is to reduce the MDBFC approval process a bit shorter. Almost 5-6 days are
taking to get an approval is most unlikely.

We are confident on your efforts and full faith on you. Please look into the above issues and give us
favorable feedback.

Dear Sir,

At the outset, thanks to Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited management for facilitating us various facilities
including 34 million Working Capital facility. We put our steps into the 2 nd year and always remember
the kind support of the IBBL management.

We came to know that our WC enhancement was approved in the last EC was BDT 350 million from BDT
340 million an enhancement of only BDT 10 lacs. By the grace of Almighty ALLAH we have doubled the
capacity.

Below our present production status:

production allover production

Current market situation:

Our industry is basically import substitute industry. The more we diversify the more we can capture the
market. If you look into year on year growth of the Garments exports you will find there is a strong
growth around 13%. It seems this will continue in the upcoming years too. Previously buyers sources the
laces and embroidery items almost 100% through import from China, Thailand & India. We are one of
the few industries who started manufacturing of this kind of the goods very recently. Recently, we have
participated International Garments Exports Fair (23-26 January 2019) and got tremendous response
from the potential buyers. According to them they are not aware of these kinds and industries presence
in Bangladesh.
Lace and Embroidery market is mostly dominated by China, Thailand & India. Now this is our turn to
grab it by improving our efficiency, quality and maintaining the lead time deadlines. We are exercising it
on daily basis. Employing the foreign experts to trained our local employees.

We are very hopeful and In Shaa Allah by the Grace of Almighty ALLAH we will reach our desired level
very shortly.

Raw Materials and its Sourcing:

As you know the main raw materials for this project are different kinds of grey Fabrics and yarn. Around
60% of the total requirement to be sourced from locally and balance will be imported from abroad.
Therefore, we have to keep average 75 days Raw Material stocks to handle urgent orders.

IBBL Brach management has done the Working capital assessment based on the existing production
capacity and forwarded the same to Head office for due approval. Unfortunately, there were some
confusion resulting only BDT 10 lacs enhancement was made. Therefore, we are again forwarding the
application for review the matter on an urgent basis for smooth running of the business.

In addition to above, we would like to bring into your kind attention that we were enjoying WC loan
facility @9% but suddenly and very recently it has been increased to @13.8%. This increase seriously
have a negative impact on our costing and it’s become unbearable to us.

Considering our performance and track record we are requesting your good-selves to review the
following issue:

1) 35 million taka to 70 Million under mode of Sight/Deferred/UPAS


Lc/Bills/BBLC/BB Bills/MPI/Bai-Murabaha/Bai-Sarf/EDF/MFCT with 100% TR

Regarding to above subject, regret to inform you that even couple days ago we are enjoying @9% profit
and suddenly climb to @13.8%. This will certainly have a serious adverse impact our business. We will
loose of competitiveness thus fail to capture the export orders.

Janab, this is a very new project only 1.5 years running. One of unique in nature and completely new of
its kind. We are not only competing locally but also competing globally specially with China. Since,
almost 90% 0f the products were imported from China. You must appreciate to learn that within this
short span of our journey we are getting wonderful response from the buyers.

IBBL is patronizing local import substitute industries since beginning of journey. Please help us to survive
and be completive. Therefore, praying your good-selves to review the matter and re-fix @9% once again
and considering as most urgent one. Export sector is one most privileged sector of the Government as
well as IBBL.

Thanking you in anticipation

Expansion of Current Production Capacity:

You must appreciate to learn that as per our pre-projection and pre-planning in the last year, we have
already expanded our capacity to meet the Country’s on growing demand and trend of this business.
Accordingly, in order to cater the increasing demand and diversify the existing product range we have
already added 2 Nos Multihead Embroidery Machine to enter into the multihead embroidery market
and 2 Nos Schiffli Embroidery Machine of latest model. All these machines are running condition except
one currently under commissioning stage and expecting to be under running by the end of this month.

MDB/MDBFC Facility:

Currently, MDB facility is included in our Composite working Capital facility. We have communicated
many times to separate this facility from the composite limit. If MDB included then our Raw Material
procurement interrupted ultimately business suffered.
Recently, we have routed some export Lc through IBBL and failed to discount the bills due to lack of
enough rooms in our composite limit. In these cases, we are facing financial hardship to service the bank
debts and factory running costs for long cash cycle.

projections for next 3 years for your understanding:

This is not a traditional industry and very much new of its kind in our country. Therefore, does requires
adequate nursing at the starting stage. If we get the proper support and guidance obviously this will
become a big industrial sector in our country within short period of time. The reason behind, it’s an
import substitute, saves foreign currency, high local value addition and definitely creates employment.

Based on capacity and requirement we would be grateful if you kindly take appropriate steps in order to

Request to renew the sancti on of 34 million taka as working capital facility and 1

Dear Sir,
At the outset, thanks to Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited management for facilitating us by allowing
working capital facility Taka 34 million to a newly incorporated 100% export oriented project namely
MAS Lace & Fabrics Ltd.

Expansion of Current Production Capacity


You must appreciate to learn that as per our pre-projection and pre-planning in the last year, we are
expanding our capacity to meet the existing demand and trend of the business. You are aware that in
order to meet the increasing demand and diversify the existing product range we have already opened
L/C for 2 Nos Multihead Embroidery Machine to enter into the multihead embroidery market and 1 No
Schiffli Embroidery Machine of latest model. Based on the recent trend and projected demand, we have
already proceeded to import another 1 (one) No schiffli elbroidery machine of latest state of art
technology and latest model in the world from Switzerland from the same manufacturer.

Raw Materials and its Sourcing:


As you know the main raw materials for this project are grey Fabrics and yarn. Around 75% of the total
requirement to be sourced from locally and balance will be imported from abroad.

Working Capital Investment Requirements:


Further to your information despite the enhancement of the capacity by 120%, we are not applying for
enhancement of WC limit. But we are not able to discount our export bill as per your current rules.
If we don’t allow to discount in a separate line then it will be very difficult to route the export proceeds
through IBBL. Currently, it blocks the WC limit which will hamper Company’s business severely.

Rationale for separate MDB Facility:


a) Currently IBBL is discounting (MDB/MDBFC) an Export acceptance of a LC issuing bank by
blocking our WC import limit;
b) For the above, we can’t source our Raw materials thus our business hampered severely;
c) We approach to segregate the WC import facility and Export Lc discounting facility
(MDB/MDBFC); because export discounting is based on acceptance of the LC issuing bank and
100% secured;
d) Export Lc discounting (MDB/MDBFC) is generally on the exposure of the Lc issuing bank and not
on the exporter.

Therefore, we are applying to renew our existing WC facility as per below:


Amount in million
Sl. Facility Current Proposed limit (BDT) Rate of Return
Limit (BDT)
1 LC,Eills/BBLC/BB BillsMPI/Bai- 34 34 (excluding MDB/MDBFC) 9% p.a.
Murabaha/
B ai-As-Sarf MDB/EDF/MFCI
2 MDB/MDBFC Nil 1 Crore (Backed by acceptance 5% all in cost
of L/C issuing bank)

Additional we are requesting some charges reduction and waiver as below mentioned:
5. Reduction of Acceptance Commission on Import L/C: We are requesting to charge acceptance
commission on 1st quarter 0.25%, on 2nd and onward quarter 0.15%.
6. Waiver of Exchange charge on Foreign Currency @ tk. 05 / USD
7. Rate of Exchange: We are expecting at best conversion rate, fYI existing other bank rate is 1 USD
= Tk. 83.80

Subject: Application for separate MDB/MDBFC facility for 1 cr (one crore) taka only

Muhtaram

As Salamualikum. Refer to above subject as per discussion we are applying for a separate MDB/MDBFC
facility for discounting the export bills.

The requirement of this credit line has been discussed many times both in your office and the head
office of IBBL. However, once again we are mentioning below the rationale of the facility:

1) As per existing sanction Export Lc discounting is included in the WC facility thus our import line
get exhausted;
2) Moreover, we have increased our capacity almost 250 times and existing WC limit is not
sufficient for importation of Raw materials only;

Based on the above reasons, please arrange a separate limit amounting to Taka 1 cr (one crore) only.
We are also requesting you to look to take the approval of approval at a time:

1) MDV/MDBFC ---- 1 cr ( One crore only)


2) Pricing--------- all in cost 5%
3) Conversion cost------ TT rate plus 0.50 paisa
Should you need anything further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanking you

sewing in the
Garments.
2 Lace Cutting Machine 2 (Two) This also required in US$ 2000
the finishing

all HPSM facility must have gestation period. Especially for new business it is must. For your

If you look at the above table you will find that Debt: Equity ratio is ………… We have opened the
LC @10% margin. More over at the time of HPSM creation we have to pay another …….. Cr taka
as balance portion of own contribution. Even any currency fluctuation also to be borne by us.
As a newly established company it is very much pressure on us to pay all above together with
the current and newly created HPSM.
We are regular in servicing the debts. Hopefully, In Shaa Allah it will remain continue in the
upcoming days too.

Therefore, considering the above information and past track records, we would be obliged if

Subject:
Request to renew the sancti on of 34 million taka as working capital facility and 1
million taka as MDB facility for 100% export oriented Schiffl i Embroidery project.

Dear Sir,
At the outset, thanks to Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited management for facilitating us by allowing
working capital facility Taka 34 million to a newly incorporated 100% export oriented project namely
MAS Lace & Fabrics Ltd.

Expansion of Current Production Capacity


You must appreciate to learn that as per our pre-projection and pre-planning in the last year, we are
expanding our capacity to meet the existing demand and trend of the business. You are aware that in
order to meet the increasing demand and diversify the existing product range we have already opened
L/C for 2 Nos Multihead Embroidery Machine to enter into the multihead embroidery market and 1 No
Schiffli Embroidery Machine of latest model. Based on the recent trend and projected demand, we have
already proceeded to import another 1 (one) No schiffli elbroidery machine of latest state of art
technology and latest model in the world from Switzerland from the same manufacturer.

Raw Materials and its Sourcing:


As you know the main raw materials for this project are grey Fabrics and yarn. Around 75% of the total
requirement to be sourced from locally and balance will be imported from abroad.

Working Capital Investment Requirements:


Further to your information despite the enhancement of the capacity by 120%, we are not applying for
enhancement of WC limit. But we are not able to discount our export bill as per your current rules.
If we don’t allow to discount in a separate line then it will be very difficult to route the export proceeds
through IBBL. Currently, it blocks the WC limit which will hamper Company’s business severely.

Rationale for separate MDB Facility:


e) Currently IBBL is discounting (MDB/MDBFC) an Export acceptance of a LC issuing bank by
blocking our WC import limit;
f) For the above, we can’t source our Raw materials thus our business hampered severely;
g) We approach to segregate the WC import facility and Export Lc discounting facility
(MDB/MDBFC); because export discounting is based on acceptance of the LC issuing bank and
100% secured;
h) Export Lc discounting (MDB/MDBFC) is generally on the exposure of the Lc issuing bank and not
on the exporter.

Therefore, we are applying to renew our existing WC facility as per below:


Amount in million
Sl. Facility Current Proposed limit (BDT) Rate of Return
Limit (BDT)
1 LC,Eills/BBLC/BB BillsMPI/Bai- 34 34 (excluding MDB/MDBFC) 9% p.a.
Murabaha/
B ai-As-Sarf MDB/EDF/MFCI
2 MDB/MDBFC Nil 1 Crore (Backed by acceptance 5% all in cost
of L/C issuing bank)

Additional we are requesting some charges reduction and waiver as below mentioned:
8. Reduction of Acceptance Commission on Import L/C: We are requesting to charge acceptance
commission on 1st quarter 0.25%, on 2nd and onward quarter 0.15%.
9. Waiver of Exchange charge on Foreign Currency @ tk. 05 / USD
10. Rate of Exchange: We are expecting at best conversion rate, fYI existing other bank rate is 1 USD
= Tk. 83.80

Thanks in advance for supporting us and in this regard your positive consideration is highly appreciated.
