Dear Shareholders,

As we all are aware, the whole world is coping with the devastating effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). I would like to wish all of
you and your loved ones safety and good health. My thoughts goes out to those who have unfortunately lost the battles to this virus and
About Us

wish an early recovery to those who are afflicted by this disease.

Because of the current situation and abiding by the Government instruction to maintain social distancing, we are organizing this
Meeting virtually and I thank you for taking your time to attend this first ever virtual Annual General Meeting.

From the business perspective, this was a year that tested all assumptions; on how markets and supply chain function in an age of
global interdependency and what it means to truly deliver to consumers, customers, and communities and how companies can and
should operate during a crisis. In such a challenging environment, your Company has truly anchored to its purpose and values. We
are in the business for the last 42 years and have faced unprecedented challenges over the years including the Earthquake, Economic
Blockade and now the Pandemic. We have and we will sail through this crisis with the support of our most passionate workforce and
loyal customers and consumers. With the dedication and hard work of our team, we have ensured safe production and delivery of our
products to the Stores and Communities during these difficult times. From a financial point of view, FY 2076-77 was a challenging
year, and the Company made a loss of NPR 62 Million. However, your Company has taken drastic measures to maintain cash flows
and maximize sales. We have safeguarded your Company with enough cash flow to pay all our due debts and employees’ salary for the
likely duration of COVID -19 crisis. Despite the challenging times, we are confident that in the upcoming years, we will bounce back to
counter any adversity with more vigour and strength.

Your Company is embracing the new normal and pivoting the business to take advantage of emerging omni-channel opportunities and
create value for our investors and customers. We remain confident in navigating through this crisis, helping society rebuild and recover
and ultimately build a stronger and even more sustainable business for the future.

We are truly grateful to our customers, consumers, partners and Government, who have shown their support during these trying times.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank our shareholders again, for placing your overwhelming trust, support and confidence in
Bottlers Nepal Limited.

Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.


Warm regards,

Shukla Wassan

Intangible assets are recognized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific intangible assets such as,
software, where it is probable that such asset will generate future economic benefits in excess of its cost.
Computer software cost are amortized on the basis of expected useful life, which is estimated as 5 years (the estimate is being
reviewed periodically). Costs associated with maintaining software are recognized expenses as and when incurred. At each statement
of financial position date, these assets are assessed for indication of impairment. In the event that an asset's carrying amount being
greater than its recoverable amount, the assets are considered to be impaired and is written down immediately.
The expenditure incurred in acquisition and installation of new software till the date of commissioning is recognized as intangible under
development. Software is capitalized upon successful test run and after meeting recognition criteria. On our assessment certain assets’
carrying value had to be written down. Consequently, the carrying gross value and the relevant accumulated depreciation has been adjusted
in specific assets classification wherever required. After completion of appropriate approval procedures these amount will be written off.

About Us
A financial liability is any liability that is:

(a) contractual obligation:


(i) to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or
(ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the
entity; or
(b) a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:
(i) a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments;
or
(ii) a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a
fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments.

The company classifies financial liabilities as Fair Value through Profit or Loss and those Held at Amortized Cost. All financial liabilities
held by the company are classified as financial liabilities held at amortized cost using effective interest rate.

Financial liabilities held by the company are both interest bearing and non-interest bearing.

For interest bearing financial liabilities which comprises of the bank loans, interest charged by the bank approximates effective interest
rate and the rate is considered for calculation of amortized cost of liability and the finance cost. The effect of initial charges and its
impact on effective interest rate is considered not material and the carrying value is considered to approximate the amortized cost.

Risks associated with Financial Instrument- Financial Liabilities


The company has a risk management framework to monitor, access, mitigate and manage risk. The risk management framework is
given in Note 32.

The spread of COVID-19 pandemic has severe impact on global economies including Nepal where businesses were being forced to cease
or limit operations resulting in an economic slowdown. Although, the Government has responded with monetary and fiscal interventions
to stabilize the economic conditions, there is not much relief available to the Company as on date of issue of these financial statements.
Further, the company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern and reached to conclusion that there is no significant risk
of going concern in near future in view of company’s sound financial health and recovery of business volume post balance sheet date
at pre - Covid-level.

Cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, direct labor and appropriate proportion of fixed and
variable production overheads incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition. Finished goods are valued based
on weighted average method.

Inventories are presented net of allowance for obsolescence and other possible depletion in value or other losses. Allowance adjustments
are made for those inventories identified by management as obsolete based on 10 Year Aging or technical evaluation whichever is earlier.

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties


Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees
provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining
the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

31 Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. The main purpose of
these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets comprise trade and other
receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that arrive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below.

31.1 Market Risk


Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk, such as
equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and deposits.

31.1.1 Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s bank
overdraft and short term deposits.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by negotiating with highly reputed commercial banks.

32. Impact of COVID 19 on financial statements:


The Government of Nepal had announced complete lockdown from March 24, 2020 (F/Y 2076/77) onwards to control the spread of
COVID-19 pandemic in the country which happens to be peak sales season for the company. The management has assessed the effect of
lockdown and is of the view that the lockdown has significantly impacted sales and profit for the current year and will also have effect
on revenue and operating result of the company to some extent for next year.

The spread of COVID-19 pandemic has severe impact on global economies including Nepal where businesses were being forced to
cease or limit operations resulting in an economic slowdown. Although, the Government has responded with monetary and fiscal
interventions to stabilize the economic conditions, there is not much relief available to the Company as on date of issue of these
financial statements. Further, the company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern and reached to conclusion that there
is no significant risk of going concern in near future in view of company’s sound financial health and recovery of business volume post
balance sheet date at pre- Covid-level.
