Chairman Speech
Distinguished Shareholders of Al Badia Cement (JSC)
Respected Representatives of the Official Entities
Dear Sirs,
At the beginning I would like to welcome you in my capacity and on behalf of the Board Members at the
annual meeting of Al Badia Cement Company to present the annual report including the financial results
and the final statements of 2017, as well as the remaining items on the agenda of this meeting, which
are presented for your kind approval.
Despite the great challenges imposed by the events on the company, but it managed, by God’s grace, to
proceed with work and maintain its high position in the local market. With more optimism and hope, we
look forward for a bright future for Al Badia Cement Company to continue its active contribution to the
re-construction phase of Syria and to supporting its economy.
Gentlemen,
Thanks to the effective leadership and strategic vision adopted, Al Badia Cement Company managed to
overcome all difficulties and obstacles and strengthened its policies and procedures in all sectors, which
was reflected positively on the company's performance. The company also played an important social
role in terms of tax liability and governance, and managed to provide support to the incubating
environment and charity despite the continued financial distress and low demand in the Syrian cement
market.
Following is a summary of the company's most important achievements during the year:
Security Front
The company managed to overcome the security circumstances that affected the plant site since the
tragic incident of April 2016 until the first quarter of 2017 through the development of the Security
system and re-operation during a remarkable time, resulting in overall performance improvement as of
the second quarter of last year, which coincided with a notable improvement in the security situation in
the plant’s area.
Production & Sales Plans Front
The company achieved 100% of its production plan for clinker. As for cement the company exceeded its
plan by maintaining its high position in the local market and marketing its products with the highest
technical specifications and quality conditions. The implementation rate of the adopted cement sales
plan was 109%, 40% higher than year 2016.
Financial Front
Year 2017 registered a positive turn compared to previous years, especially in terms of completion of
the work plan and financial performance of the company in addition to the positive impact resulting
from improved exchange rates of Syrian Pound against foreign currencies. These together supported the
company’s ability to improve its financial position and enhance its inventories provided that exchange
rates continues improving or maintains its current situation.
The company achieved book profits as per the "Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
Statement", of which the exchange rate differences and book settlement of the contractor's loan
composed the major part. In fact, they are unrealized profits resulting from the settlement of the
accumulated losses of the aforementioned items. The remaining portion, which represents the
company's operating profit for 2017, does not reflect the company’s actual performance since the
financial statements do not represent the actual economic values, particularly with respect to the value
of the fixed assets and the resulting depreciation at fair value.
Industrial Security, Vocational & Environmental Safety
The company continued to adhere to the standards of the industrial safety, vocational and
environmental safety applied since its establishment and developed them permanently to reduce the
environmental impact and maintain the safety of all workers of employees, contractors workers and
visitors.
Al Badia Cement Board of Directors confirms the validity of the financial statements approved by the
auditor, as well as the accuracy and completeness of the information and data contained in this report.
The Board also reaffirms smment to provide an effective control system in the company. Furthermore,
The Company’s management reiterates its commitment to implement an effective risk management
policy aimed at reducing risks that may hinder business during the next fiscal year.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the various official entities that
contributed to the support of Al Badia Cement Company, especially the army and the armed forces for
the effective role in enhancing security and stability and improving the security situation in the plant’s
area.
Great thanks and appreciation to all shareholders and stakeholders for their continued support to the
company, and gratitude to the staff for their efforts, dedication and sincerity in supporting the
company's progress.

3. Board of Directors and Board Committees

Moreover, the company's reliance on the principle of authority delegation and powers through the formation the committees emanating from the company’s Board of Directors would promote the principle of governance in taking important and strategic decisions in line with the company's principles and the shareholders' will and the related parties.

Development of Human Resources
Al Badia Cement pays great care and attention to its Human Resources based on its belief that the work
team's ability to meet challenges is the basis for its success. The company works continuously on
motivating employees and ensuring the best work conditions.
One of the most important challenges faced by the company is the continued drop out of manpower
and the difficulty of replacing qualified workers, especially during the exceptional circumstances that the
plant faced during the year 2016. However, the company has worked on meeting this challenge through
an effective recruitment plan to attract the best expertise and young talents available, in addition to
supporting rehabilitation processes.
The company adopted a training plan within the available possibilities to develop the capabilities of the
staff through a number of internal training courses, in addition to seeking the assistance of some foreign
companies specialized in the cement industry to develop work mechanism.
The number of employees in 2017 was 342 full-time workers in addition to providing more than 500 job
opportunities through the company's contractors and service providers. The company also implemented
income and compensation policies to support its employees to meet the high cost of living, which was
reflected positively on improved performance.
Overview of the Syrian cement markets
Cement markets witnessed in 2017 a slight improvement compared to the last four years affected by
the return of stability in a number of areas and the accompanying interest of the government to start
the development of reconstruction plans and to support the procedures of re-operating stopped plants,
especially in the cement industry and use of oil and gas fields that could be invested.
As the demand for cement continues to decline, with the surpluses in production compared with
domestic consumption rates and the general recession in construction and real estate market, cement
consumption rates in 2017 are still significantly lower than in 2011-2012.
Cement sales
Al Badia Cement Company managed to maintain its share of cement sales in the local market despite
the challenges faced in terms of security and logistics in the areas surrounding the plant during the year
2017.
Al Badia Cement Company has maintained its strong competition in the local markets, and acquired the
satisfaction of the consuming activities of cement, especially maintaining the largest share of the
Patching Plants (ready-mix) market through the conformity of its products to the standard specifications
adopted locally and internationally and upgrading the level of its services.
The below table shows the percentage of Al Badia Cement Company's full production and sales plan for
the year 2017:
Clinker Cement Grinding Cement sales
2017 Plan (thousand tons) 600.000 650.000 650.000
Actual execution (thousand tons) 599.244 717.151 705.892
Execution rate 100% 110% 109%
The number of customers who have bought more than 10% of the company's sales of bagged and bulk cement reached 5 customers.
The company's application of quality standards
Al Badia Cement Company is committed to achieve the best quality standers related to its product
according to Syrian specification No. 3800 of 2015 in compliance with the European standard No. 1-197
of 2000.
The laboratory tests are carried out for the raw material in all production stages and up to obtaining the
final cement product through the direct current control of these materials to insure the product quality by
using the laboratory analysis equipment namely X – Ray analyzer . All physical and chemical tests of the
final product are carried out at the central laboratory which is properly equipped with all testing and
analyzing equipment.
To insure the quality of products from the accredited public authority, the company cooperated with the
Center of Research and Industrial Tests under Ministry of Industry by signing an agreement and memo of
understanding to carry out tests on random samples of cement, through periodic field visits made by the
center employees to carry out the required test. In addition, the center carries out periodic tests to all
analyzing and laboratory equipment at the central laboratory of the company.
Environmental standards
The company is committed to apply the standers of Syrian Environment Law No. 50 and the European
Law on Safety No. EC/1/2008.
Security and Vocational Safety
The company continues to apply health and vocational safety standards as the company enhanced
performance levels of security and safety measures related to health and vocational safety, and arranged
for providing all needs and requirements for the safety of workers.
The plant contains a clinic furnished with the latest medical equipment needed to handle emergencies, in
addition to the existence of a comprehensive fire extinguishing system that is continuously maintained
and preserved so as to retain its full readiness.
The standard record of the total working hours without injuries that led to total disability or death during
the year 2017 amounted to /2.746.948/ work hours at the plant, the reiterating lost-time work injuries ratio
(LTI) was zero injuries per one million work hours, since no total-or-partial disability work injury was
recorded during the year 2017. Thus, the number of working days without any death, permanent or
partial disability or time-wasting accident is 1188 days
Procurement
Due to the difficult circumstances that the company experienced over the previous years, the negative
effects were very clear on all levels, especially the economic ones, where the volume of procurement
operations and the number of suppliers decreased significantly due to the decline in the volume of work
and the accompanying fluctuation in exchange rates as well as the difficulty of import process and
financing imports as most of external suppliers are committed to applying sanctions and economic
embargo imposed on Syrian companies which led to the necessity of the company in some of its
purchasing operations to rely on specific suppliers making up 10% or more of its total purchases. These
suppliers meet the company's minimum requirement to ensure continuity (such as fuel and diesel),
which are completely purchased from the Syrian Company for Storage and Distribution of Petroleum
Products at its specified price, in addition to coal, which was supplied by only one supplier.
Government or international organizations decisions that have an impact
During the year 2017, no new government decision was directly reflected on the company's business.
However, the continued implementation and activation of some previously issued decisions had some
positive impacts as follows:
- Cement sales prices have improved in the public sector
- Continue to implement the decision on banning import of cement
However, the company was not able to take full advantage of these decisions due to the failure of in
obtaining foreign exchange to settle loans in addition to the economic embargo measures taken by
foreign banks, which hindered banking operations and the ability to import production supplies
smoothly and regularly.
Description of any government protection or privileges
Pursuant to the provisions of Article No. /7/ of Disclosure law and instructions No. /3943/ issued by the
Syrian Commission on Financial Markets & Securities which stipulates the need to describe any
government protection or privileges enjoyed by the company or any of its products under the laws and
regulations or other, and description of any patents or franchise rights acquired, we present the
following:
Land and quarries
The General Establishment of Geology and Mineral Resources of Ministry of Oil granted Al Badia Cement
the right to invest the leased land, which includes the quarries area, the plant land and the surrounding
area by means of a fifty year contract subject to extension.
Deregulation of cement and distribution

Description of the Risks Faced by the Company The risks faced by the company are classified into four risks categories as follows:
1. Strategic Risks
The current political and security circumstances have significantly affected the company’s
performance during the last years, which was realized basically in the severe decline of cement
demand as well as the security situation in the plant’s surrounding area that led to negative
repercussions on the company's performance. During the year 2017, the company continuously
monitored the indicators of these risks and ensured that the procedures, plans, policies and security
measures taken at the logistic and technical levels are fully prepared to limit the impact of these
risks and ensure the protection of the company's assets and safety of employees as an absolute
priority, and to evade stoppage in the production and sales operations.
2. Financial Risks
Cash flows and liquidity risk
It is characterized in the risk arising from the company’s failure to meet its short-term commitments.
Weak sales operations and high production costs especially those related to import, fuel and logistic
services as well as inflexibility of cement prices in Syria so as to match the changes of these factors in
addition to the alternation in the exchange rates led to the company’s being subject to necessary
cash flow risk.
The Company has developed the appropriate mechanisms for managing and optimizing the cash
flow through the preparation of the necessary lists for forecasting and early warning and taking
measures to mitigate the impact of these risks and maintain an appropriate reserve of the
company's cash balances with the banks in addition to taking a number of procedures to provide the
necessary liquidity to meet all the obligations of the company on time with the support of the
founding shareholders.
Foreign exchange risks
They are characterized in the risks related to the exchange rate of the Syrian pound against foreign
currencies required for the company’s financial transactions for payments of imported materials
required for production in foreign currencies. They also affect the assessment of assets and liabilities
of a monetary nature in foreign currencies. The low exchange rate of the local currency is reflected
negatively on the company due to inability of cement prices to cope with the rapid changes.
Risks of Changes in Interest Rates
They are characterized in the changes in interest rates on the financial liabilities subject to variable
interest rate, as well as assets producing interests. The company has prepared a sensitivity analysis
report which measures the effect of a change in interest rates on the company’s financial position, in
order to reach a pre-prediction on the amount of this impact and to take possible measures to
reduce it. The sensitivity analysis is presented in the Financial Statements.
3. Operational risks
These risks are summarized in the risks related to the company’s operational process, protection of
the company's staff, assets, information systems and communication.
Risks of lack of some basic raw materials needed for production
The Company worked on reducing the impact of these risks by continuously seeking to raise the
stock of these materials for quantities sufficient for longer periods of time, despite the heavy
financial burden on the company.
Risks of expertise manpower dropout in the company
The company adopted necessary plans and procedures to reduce the dropout rates and labor
turnover while working on finding replacements with experienced and competent both from inside and
outside the company and providing them with adequate training and capacity building.
Risk of Information and Communications Technology
The risk of losing contact with the plant is considered a major obstacle to production management,
sales and communication with all parties involved. In order to mitigate the impact of these risks, the
company established and activated four different communication systems, ensuring continuity of
communication and control in a complete and effective manner.
The company’s ability to maintain and raise the readiness of the information technology system,
both in terms of the infra-structure readiness, and maintaining the efficient performance of the ERP
system, is considered one of the most important challenges that the company managed to develop
practical and competent solutions to minimize its risks.
Risks Related to Security, Safety and Insurance
The current circumstances that the country is going through in general and Al Badia Cement plant
surrounding area in particular, and the previous incidents that took place, in addition to non-
availability of reinsurance possibilities for the Syrian insurance sector it was not possible to obtain
reasonable and feasible insurance solutions to cover all risks. Including the risks of fire, theft and
natural disasters.
Therefore, the company worked on enhancing security and safety procedures and developing them
logically and technically for the purpose of protecting its personnel and assets, developing its
firefighting systems and conducting maintenance operations on a regular and continuous basis, in
addition to forming a team responsible for emergency and evacuation operations, and training
employees to respond to emergency cases and carrying out periodic tests to ensure the effectiveness
of actions taken.
Description of the Company’s Subsidiaries, nature of their work
There is no subsidiary to Al Badia Cement (JSC), except for Emdad Trade Offshore Company, which was
established in Lebanon with a capital of 30 Million Lebanese pounds (around 20 thousand US Dollar),
where Al Badia Cement (JSC) owns 99% of the shares of Emdad Trade Offshore Company. The main
purpose of the company’s establishment is to support the operations of supply and logistics of Al Badia
Cement (JSC).
Until the end of 2017, Emdad Trade Offshore Company did not have any commercial or practical activity,
thus there are no financial results for the company’s work.

financial circumstances that the company is going through.

The company signed a contract with AROP Syria Company aimed at providing health insurance services
to the company's employees. The contract value amounted to/ 56/ million Syrian pounds for one year as
of 17/11/2017. This was after soliciting offers from local insurance companies and studying them in
terms of conditions and prices. The offer by AROP Syria (in which Mr. Ibrahim Cheik Dib is a board
member) received the highest rating.
Analysis the Company’s Financial Position
In analyzing the statement of profits and losses and other comprehensive income, after excluding the
exchange differences and the effect of the final settlement with the Chinese construction company
(please see the paragraph "Financial impact of operations of a non-recurring nature"), the company
achieved book profits of about five billion Syrian pounds .
The company's achievements during 2017 of maintaining the company’s share of the local market and
the tangible increase of net revenues and book profits, have been achieved despite the following
complications:
The severe decline on cement demand in the local markets, in addition to inability to export.
Increase of offer to demand on cement forced the company to be committed to the selling
prices adopted by the General Establishment of Cement in spite of :
A. Cost discrepancy of power and electricity on our company due to lack of support, that is made available for the public sector companies.
B. High cost of security measures compared to the public sector companies that exist in safe areas.
C. Cement selling prices in the local market do not match the high prices of the materials that are linked to currency exchange prices, and are not up to the profit margins available to selling prices in the neighboring countries.
High production costs sharply, in addition to the burdens of logistical difficulties and the severe
effects of economic sanctions.
The company has concentrated during the previous period on securing the safety of the personnel and
protecting the plant’s fixed assets, as well as filling up the raw materials stores needed for production
and necessary spare parts for maintenance in order to ensure the continuity of the production process.
Following are some of the financial rates that focus on some fiscal position aspects of the company's
financial position as of 31/12/2017 compared to the previous four years:
