Facts in the company's audited statements1
Facts the state-owned company's own audited financial statements print, two blind readers: mandate = the principal activities / nature of business note verbatim (source_kind fs_principal_activities); legal_basis = its registration under the Companies Act as printed (fs_companies_act_registration; owner ruling 2026-09-23); dated_event = the printed incorporation date; place = the registered office district. Each reader's text is kept (_a, _b); pages are 1-based PDF pages.

Press coverage
Named in 1 article since June 2023; number 135 among bodies in the last 12 months.
0 articles from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
Months with an article: June 2023 (1 article of 1,034).
The total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.

Expense lines in the company's audited statements1
Concept total_expenses_sum_of_printed_lines: the statement prints no labelled total of expenses, so the value is the sum of the expense lines printed on its face for the year (cost of sales, operating, administrative and selling lines, finance cost, WPPF and other expense lines as printed). Income tax, income lines, subtotals, gains and other comprehensive income are excluded; a printed parent figure is counted instead of its breakdown. Two blind readers listed the same lines and reached the identical sum. It is not a printed total.
