Notes to the Financial Statements For the thirteen months ended December 31, 2010

1. THE COMPANY AND ITS OPERATIONS

Abbott Laboratories (Pakistan) Limited (The Company) is a public limited company incorporated in Pakistan on July 02, 1948, and its shares are quoted on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad stock exchanges. The address of its registered office is opposite Radio Pakistan Transmission Centre, Hyderabad Road, Landhi, Karachi. The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture, import and marketing of research based pharmaceutical, nutritional, diagnostic, diabetic care, molecular devices, hospital and consumer products and in providing toll manufacturing services.

During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company changed its financial year end from November 30 to December 31 to bring it in line with the financial year followed by Abbott International LLC, USA, the ultimate holding company. The current year figures pertain to thirteen months ended December 31, 2010 (period) and the corresponding figures pertain to twelve months (year) ended November 30, 2009, and therefore are not comparable.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Basis of preparation

2.1.1. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the provisions, of or directives issued under Companies Ordinance, 1984, shall prevail.
2.1.2. Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
2.1.3. Changes in accounting policies and disclosure

a).Adoption of new standard effective in the current year and adopted by the Company

IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' - The standard requires a 'management approach', under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. It is a disclosure based standard that has resulted in no change in previously identified reportable segments (refer note 2.21 and 33).
b).Recognition of actuarial gains and losses on pension scheme directly in equity

During the period, the accounting policy for recognition of actuarial gains / losses has been changed in accordance with option allowed by IAS 19 'Employee Benefits' to appropriately reflect the operating results of the Company. The actuarial gains and losses are now recognised in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income and presented in the statement of comprehensive income. Previously actuarial gains / losses were recognized in profit and loss account.

The change in accounting policy has been recognized retrospectively and comparative information has been restated in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". The change in accounting policy has the following impact on these financial statements:

=======================================================================================
The change in accounting policy has no impact on the balance sheet for the current and previous periods.
2.1.4. New / revised standards and interpretations to existing standards effective from current period or early adopted but not relevant to the Company.

The following standards (revised or amended) and interpretations became effective for the current financial period or early adopted, but are either not relevant or do not have any material effect on the financial statements of the Company:

IFRS 3 (Revised) 'Business Combinations'

IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts'

IFRS 5 (Amendments) 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations'

IAS 1 (Amendment) 'Presentation of financial statements'

IAS 23 (Revised) 'Borrowing Costs'

IAS 27 (Amended) 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'

IFRIC 9 (Amendment) 'Reassessment of embedded derivatives and IAS 39, Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement'

IFRIC 15 'Agreement for Construction of Real Estate'

IFRIC 16 'Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation'

IFRIC 17 'Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners'

IFRIC 18 'Transfers of Assets from Customers'

IAS 38 (Amendment) 'Intangible assets'

IAS 36 (Amendment) 'Impairment of assets'

IFRS 2 (Amendments) 'Share-based Payments' - 'Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions'
2.1.5. New / revised standards and interpretations to published accounting standards that are issued but not yet effective

The following standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 or later periods:

IFRS 7 (Amendment) 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011) - 'Transfers of financial assets' - This amendment increases the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfer of financial assets. The amendment is intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset.

IFRS 9 'Financial instruments' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013). This standard is the first step in the process to replace IAS 39, 'Financial instruments: recognition and measurement'. IFRS.9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets.

IAS 24 (Revised), 'Related party disclosures' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011) - The revised standard clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities.

IAS 32 (Amendment) 'Financial Instruments: Presentation' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010) - 'Classification of rights issues' - The amendment addresses the accounting for rights issues that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. Provided certain conditions are met, such rights issues are now classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. Previously, these issues had to be accounted for as derivative liabilities.

IAS 34 (Amendment) 'Interim Financial Reporting' (effective from annual periods on or after January 1, 2011). It adds further examples to the list of events or transactions that require disclosure under IAS 34 and remove references to materiality that describe other minimum disclosures.

IFRIC Interpretation 14 - IAS 19 (Amendment) 'The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and Their Interaction' (effective for annual period s beginning on or after January 1, 2011) -'Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement'. The amendments correct an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14. Without the amendments, entities are not permitted to recognise as an asset some voluntary prepayments for minimum funding contributions. This was not intended when IFRIC 14 was issued, and the amendments correct this.

IFRIC 13 (Amendment) 'Customer Loyalty Programmes' (effective from annual periods on or after January 1, 2011). The amendment clarifies that the fair value of award credits take into account the amount of discounts or incentives that otherwise would be offered to customers that have not earned the award credits.

IFRIC 19 'Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010) - This Interpretation addresses the accounting by an entity when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability.

It requires a gain or loss to be recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued cannot be reliably measured, the equity instruments should be measured to reflect the fair value of the financial liability extinguished.

The above mentioned new / revised standards, amendments and interpretations are either not relevant to the Company's operations or are not expected to have significant impact on the Company's financial statements other than increase in disclosures in certain cases.
2.1.6. 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 recognized 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).Property, plant and equipment (note 2.3 and note 8.1);

ii).Provision for obsolete and slow moving stores and spares and stock-in-trade (note 2.4, note 2.5, note 11 and note 12);

iii).Estimates of receivables and payables in respect of staff retirement benefit schemes (note 2.13 and note 20);

iv).Provision for taxation (note 2.8, note 5 and note 26); and

v).Share based compensation (note 2.22 and 29).
2.2. 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 Company's 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.
(b).Leased

Leased asset comprises of leasehold land which is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation less 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 income 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 income 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.
2.4. Stores and spares

These are valued at cost determined on the 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.
2.5. 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 represents direct cost of materials, direct wages and an appropriate portion of production overheads. Cost in relation to items in transit represents 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.
2.6. Trade debts and other receivables

Trade debts and other receivables are recognized 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 amount 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 operating income' in the profit and loss account.
2.7. 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 income 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.
2.8. 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. Income tax paid at import stage under FTR is recognised as tax expense in the period in which related goods are sold as required by the Accounting Technical Release - 30 of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan.
Deferred

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases after adjusting for the impact of FTR.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax credits and losses, to the extent that it is probable the taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and / or carry-forward of unused tax credits and losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset may be utilised.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
2.9. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash in hand, cheques and drafts in hand and in transit and balances with banks in savings, deposit current accounts and short-term running finance, if any.
2.10. Trade and other payables

Short-term liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable cost, if any, and subsequently carried at amortised cost.
2.11. Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Shareholders.
2.12. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date to reflect the current best estimate.
2.13. Staff retirement benefits

The Company operates:

- A recognised provident fund (defined contribution plan) for all permanent employees who have completed six months' service; and

-An approved funded pension scheme (defined benefit plan) for all its permanent employees who have completed one year's service.

Contributions and annual provisions to cover the obligation under the funded pension scheme are made based on annual actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The actuarial gains and losses arising at each valuation date are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the statement of comprehensive income. Previously actuarial gains / losses were recognised in profit and loss account (refer note 2.1.3 (b)).
2.14. Liability for employees' compensated absences

The Company accounts for the liability in respect of employees' compensated absences in the year in which these are earned. Provisions to cover the obligations are made using the current salary levels of employees.
2.15. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in Pakistani Rupees at the foreign currency rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistani Rupees at the rates of exchange approximating those at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account currently.
2.16. Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments held by the Company generally comprise of forward foreign exchange contracts. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.
2.17. Revenue recognition

- Sales are recorded on dispatch of goods to customers.

- Service income is recognised when the related services are rendered.

- Income on investments / deposits is accrued on a time proportionate basis, taking into account the effective interest rates.
2.18. Impairment

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 asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised, as an expense in the profit and loss account, for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's 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 asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment had been recognised.
2.19. Financial instruments

All the 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 expires. Any gains or losses on derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities are taken to the profit and loss account currently.

Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include loans, deposits, trade debts, accrued profit, other receivables, cash and bank balances and trade and other payables. The particular recognition method adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.
2.20. 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.
2.21. 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 Company's other components. An operating segment's 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, and for which discrete financial information is available.

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 cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment.

The business segments are engaged in providing products or services which are subject to risks and rewards which differ from the risk and rewards of other segments. Segments reported are as follows:
Pharmaceutical

The Pharmaceutical segment is engaged in the manufacture, import and marketing of research based pharmaceutical products registered with the Ministry of Health and in providing toll manufacturing services.
Nutritional

The Nutritional segment is engaged in the manufacture, import and marketing of pediatric nutritional products and medical nutritional products.
Others

The Others segment represents the manufacture, import and marketing of diagnostic equipment, diabetes care, molecular devices, their testing kits and general healthcare products.
2.22. Share based compensation

The economic cost of awarding shares to employees is reflected by recording a charge in the profit and loss account equivalent to the fair value of shares on the grant date over the vesting period. Since awarded shares relate to Group Companies, a corresponding reserve is created to reflect the equity component.

34. Financial Risk Management

The Company's 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 Company's overall risk management programme focuses on minimizing potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The overall risk management of the Company is carried out by the Company's finance department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Such policies entail identifying, evaluating and addressing financial risks of the Company.

The Company's overall risk management procedures to minimize the potential adverse affects of financial market on the Company's performance are as follows:
34.1. 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 Company's 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 limite d because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is as follows:

34.2. 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 Company's 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, 2010, the Company's financial liabilities of Rs. 993.854 million (2009: Rs. 931.426 million) are all current and due in next financial year.
34.3. 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:
34.4. 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.
