Chairmans Review
It gives me great pleasure to present on behalf of the Board of Directors the Annual Report and the audited financial statements of Lankem Ceylon PLC and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31st March 2012. The recently concluded financial year has seen a high degree of volatility in the economic environment. A deteriorating balance of payments situation has precipitated a steep devaluation of the Sri Lankan Rupee. This decline in the value in the Rupee has in turn led to an increase in the annual rate of inflation. The Government has used a policy of rising interest rates to control credit growth in the local economy and to try and improve the balance of payments situation. The increase in interest rates have seen the borrowing costs of the Group increase by nearly 400 basis points. The nearly 15% devaluation of the Rupee has increased the costs of all inputs across the Company and has placed a great deal of pressure on the Companys margins. The Rupee is yet to settle at a stable trading range and this makes medium term costing and investment decisions difficult to make. The Government also seems to have moved away from its pro-growth stance of low taxation with the taxes associated with the importation of motor and other luxury goods also increasing. Under these challenging circumstances it will be difficult for the Sri Lankan economy to post a GDP growth rate above 8% as forecasted. In order to return to a path of rapid economic growth, the Government must pursue a policy of smaller budget deficits while encouraging foreign direct investment into the Sri Lankan economy. It must work to reduce the red tape involved for businesses setting up new operations in Sri Lanka and work to reduce interest rates so that local firms can borrow the necessary capital to further grow their businesses. I would like to thank our many foreign partners for the hard work in providing the necessary toxicological data to prove that their products, which Lankem distributes, are amongst the safest in the world. All crop protection solutions in Sri Lanka go through one of the most vigorous testing and registration exercise in the world before these products can be retailed to Sri Lankan farmers. We stand by the safety of all our products. Not withstanding the problems that the cluster has faced due to circumstances beyond its control, we continued to make great strides in the other areas that we are present in. The fledgling fertiliser division recorded its first profit after two years in operation. The market for fertiliser is huge but we tread carefully as the fertiliser business can have a large drain on the cash flows of the Company. Our other crop protection subsidiary SunAgro Life Sciences achieved a Revenue of Rs. 500 million for the first time. Another of our subsidiaries, SunAgro Foods has nearly completed its new cereal processing plant in Trincomalee. This plant that was built with the assistance of USAID will serve as a further link between the Company and our ultimate customers the farming community in Sri Lanka. The Governments emphasis on improved infrastructure has helped the Bitumen division record its best ever results. In the year under review the division has increased its fleet of bitumen bowsers to meet the increase in demand for its products. In line with the divisions focus on high quality products for the road construction sector, the division was able to obtain ISO 9001: 2008 certifications for Quality Management Systems. While the future for the division is bright, it must continue to manage its customers as these customers are susceptible to delays in payments from Government institutions which in turn impact their payments to Lankem. The construction chemicals business has had a very successful year. The industry as a whole grew by approximately 12% while we were successful in increasing volumes by nearly 15%. As a result of the price increases in many of the raw materials used for production of our construction chemicals, the division was forced to increase the prices of all our products. This prudent decision has helped the Company maintain its margins and improve profitability. Our products are manufactured using the very best raw materials provided by world-renowned suppliers. We thank our customers for the trust that they have retained in our products in spite of the premium pricing that many of our products have in comparison to our competitors products. We believe this trust is borne by the higher quality of Lankem products. We have also placed a heavy emphasis on improving our distribution network across the island. In the past financial year we were able to increase the number of dealers by nearly 500 with nearly 130 of these dealers exclusively handling only our products. Over the course of the year we also expanded our factory, increasing production capacity by nearly 21%.
Company Performance Review

In spite of the difficult trading conditions that were present over the course of the last financial year, Lankem Ceylon PLC at Group level recorded a turnover of Rs. 24.1 Billion and a profit after tax of Rs. 1,232.3 Million. At company level turnover improved to Rs. 5.8 Billion and profit after tax increased to Rs. 730.3 Million. The Companys Agriculture cluster has had a very challenging year. Unpredictable and adverse weather patterns have reduced the area under cultivation in both the Yala and Maha agricultural seasons. The crop protection business has been further hampered by the misleading information spread about the safety of crop protection solutions marketed by all players in the industry. As a result of this, we as well as our competitors were unable to bring in the necessary chemicals for several months. In addition the shortage of these compounds, cost the Company sales in the second and third quarters. I would like to re-iterate that Lankem has always been at the forefront of retailing safe crop protection solutions.
Chairmans Review
Our operations at the current location will reach its maximum capacity over the next few years and the Company is actively looking for a new location in order to further expand its operations. The Group has also tied with WIP Coatings of the Alchea Group in Italy to bring to the market technologically advanced solutions for the wood coatings market. We in collaboration with Candice SRL of Italy, are about to launch a series of special effect coating solutions, which we believe will soon become the product of choice in this segment. The profitability of the industrial chemicals division has been hit by the volatility of international commodity prices and the steep decline in the value of the Sri Lankan Rupee. While overall turnover was higher, the turnover attributable to solvents was lower due to a drop in industrial activity. The division achieved a significant milestone when it opened its new production facility at Sapugaskanda. The state of the art blending and drumming plant was designed and constructed to the highest international safety standards with the drum yard having a capacity of nearly 6000 drums. The Company has further strengthened its relationship with Dupont of the United States for the distribution of its refrigerant gases under the brand name Suva. In the past year, the division also made its initial foray into food chemicals when Dupont appointed it as a distributor for its range of Isolated Soya Proteins. The only division within the Company that did not perform up to expectations was the consumer division. Higher distribution costs and the non-availability of some of our products from our foreign suppliers have lead to a widening of the operating loss of the division. The Company has also had to deal with a decline in demand for its most popular product -D size batteries caused by the emergence of L.E.D torches, which reduces the consumption of batteries. In order to return to profitability, the Company is investing in a new plant to expand the manufacture of its cleaning chemical solutions. This new facility will be launched during the course of the next financial year and help the division turn around its performance. it launches its own brand of tea for the local market in the first quarter of 2012. This exceptional performance reiterates the Groups decision to acquire the Company in January of 2010. The Group will continue to support C.W Mackie as it looks to expand its rubber export business in the future. The number of tourists arriving into the country continues to grow at a rapid pace. In the year 2011, Sri Lanka saw nearly 800,000 tourists arrive into the country, a growth of nearly 30% over the last year. The Group now has investments in five hotel properties across the country. The decision to upgrade the three existing established properties at Marawilla, Sigiriya and Beruwala has now paid dividends. Profits across all three properties have risen significantly. The profits at Sigiriya Village Hotels PLC rose to Rs. 40.5 Million and the profits at Beruwala Resorts Ltd rose to Rs. 31.2 Million, while the profits at Marawilla Resorts PLC were Rs. 15.0 Million during the course of the year. During the year the Group acquired control of the Galle Fort Hotel Ltd. This Company owns and manages a luxury hotel within the UNESCO world heritage site-Galle Fort. Our investment in this property is a sign of the confidence in the future of the tourism industry in Sri Lanka. During the course of the next financial year, the group will finalize its plans for the upgrading of its property in Weligama and the development of new properties in Kandy and the East coast. The Groups two plantation Companies Kotagala Plantations PLC and Agarapatana Plantations Ltd faced challenging times with a decrease in profits to Rs. 438.6 Million in the case of Kotagala Plantations PLC and a loss of Rs. 555.3 Million in the case of Agarapatana Plantations Ltd. The wage hike that was granted to workers in the early part of the financial year was a major strain on the profitability of both Companies. In order to secure the future viability of the Plantation sector in Sri Lanka, any future wage increases must be linked to increased levels of productivity. The Companies continue to rationalise our workforces in both Companies to ensure that profit levels can be maintained in the future. The profitability of both Companies was also impacted by the volatility of commodity prices seen during the year. The performance of Agarapatana Plantations Ltd was severely impacted by the low tea prices fetched at the auctions. In order to mitigate some of the risks involved in the Plantation sector, the management has made a conscious decision to diversify the crops planted on the estates of both Companies. With this strategy in mind Kotagala Plantations PLC is replanting nearly 1000 Ha of low yielding Rubber with Oil Palm and Agarapatana Plantations Ltd is replanting some low yielding Tea areas with Rubber and Cinnamon. During the course of the past financial year Kotagala Plantations PLC was also successful in obtaining the approval from relevant Government regulators to plant 20,000 Ha of Rubber in Cambodia. Once the entire extent of land is planted, this will represent a five-fold increase in the acreage of rubber under cultivation for the Company. With significantly lower wage costs, and higher yielding lands, the profit per acre from the Cambodian estates will be much higher than the equivalent estates in Sri Lanka.
Group Performance Review

Some of the subsidiaries of the Group have performed admirably in the year under review. Boosted by a weakening Sri Lankan Rupee that has assisted the growth of exports of natural rubber and value added rubber products, C.W Mackie PLC and its subsidiaries Ceymac Rubber Company Ltd and Ceytra Ltd recorded consolidated revenue of Rs. 9.7 Billion and a profit after tax of Rs. 385.3 Million Rupees. This represents a growth in revenue of 30% and a growth in profit after tax of 88%. The performance of the Companys domestic FMCG business that distributes household names such as Sunquick fruit concentrate and the SCAN brand of peanuts and water also continued to grow rapidly. The Company will look to further develop its domestic trading business when

In spite of the challenging environment that Lankem Ceylon PLC and its subsidiaries have faced in the last financial year, we continue to make the necessary investments that will enhance stakeholder returns in the future years. The Group continues to make heavy investments in its products, production environments and support systems so that every Company in the Group remains as benchmarks to their peers in their respective industries. Our primary challenge remains to promote our products into new regional markets while maintaining and improving our market shares in which we are already present. With the difficult trading conditions that are likely to be seen in the next financial year, it is prudent that the Company only declare a final dividend of Rs. 2.50 per share for the Financial Year 2011/2012. This is in line with the dividend that was declared for the last financial year as well.
Conclusion
I would like to thank my colleagues on the board for their continued support and counsel over the course of the last financial year. My thanks also to the many employees of Lankem Ceylon PLC and its subsidiaries for all the hard work that allows our Company to remain a dominant player in the many industries that we represent.

Our integrated sustainability policy is a proactive strategy which addresses the long term value of our shareholders. During the financial year we donated equipment to the Retinal Clinic of the National Eye Hospital in order to attend to their immediate and vital needs. These equipments included three slitlamps and an auto-refractor. In addition we also undertook the refurbishment of the clinic and the retinal ward by adding a fresh new coat of paint, replacement of new air conditioner units, fans and ceiling lights. We continued our patronage with Ability Foundation a not for profit organization, engaged in empowering and enabling people with intellectual disabilities. Special resource personnel were brought in to carry out various training and awareness building sessions along with follow up visits in the Ampara district. Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD), Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, and other mental health problems were assessed and recommendations were made to facilitate improvement.

Lankem Ceylon collaborated with Lend-A-Hand Fund Foundation in donating and distributing of school books, bags and other school supplies to more than 800 rural children islandwide. We were priviledged in participating in the maintenance and upkeep of our religious and traditional heritage, by continuing our commitment to paint 100 religious places of worship, those of which included the Sri Dalada Maligawa, Madu Church, Bellanvilla Temple and Vishnu Devalaya. We futher extended our support and commitment to colour wash and upgrade the recreational facilities for few schools, such as Samudradevi Vidyalaya Nugegoda and Kingswood College Kandy. Furthermore initiatives were taken in the painting of the Cancer Hospital, Lady Ridgeway Hospital and public places such as Railway and Police Stations.

The companys commitment towards the wider society is recognized and accepted by its employees at all levels. As an equal opportunity employer we ensure that employees are not discriminated based on gender, cast or creed. Due to the high level of involvement in hazardous chemicals, extensive training is provided to all employees at factory level on health and safety measures together with knowledge on the composition of the chemicals. Fully equipped medical centers are maintained at factories with full time professional nurses. Routine Cholinesterase tests are carried out to identify possible chemical contaminations of the production floor staff. We believe that long term investment in training will not only benefit the Company through the creation of a more competitive and skilled workforce, but will also enable our employees to pursue better careers and lifestyles in the future.

Financial Statements were prepared based on the Sri Lanka Accounting Standards (SLAS).

Risk Management Review

Risk management involves identifying potential risk exposure faced by the Company and implementing proper risk management techniques to mitigate such risks. A disciplined approach to risk management is important in order to ensure successful execution of strategic objectives and to express our acceptance towards risk management for which we have adequately compensated for. The Lankem Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk oversight with a focus on the most significant risks facing the Company. We consider risk management as a vital component in our operations and build upon managements risk assessment and mitigation processes, which include standardised reviews of long-term strategic and operational planning; executive development and evaluation; regulatory and litigation compliance; health, safety and environmental compliance; financial reporting and controls; and information technology and security. The Company has established appropriate internal control systems and other risk mitigation techniques to ensure the delivery of shareholder wealth and to meet its obligations to other stakeholders. Company selects only reliable distributors who are able to honor their debts. 3.2. Market Risk Management Market risk refers to the risk arising from the volatilities in market forces. The Company faces market risk in the financial sphere in terms of the local rates of interest, inflation and exchange rate. In the current business environment, the Company is able to manage its interest rate risk. The other market risk that the Company faces is the risk associated with raw material pricing. The Company does not actively hedge raw material purchases as many of the industries that the Company has a hand in does not allow any increases to be passed on to the end consumer. 3.2.1. Foreign Exchange Risk The Company operates in a business model where most of the raw material items are imported. As a result the Company is highly exposed to foreign exchange risk due to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. This results in the transaction risk for the Company. The Company uses forward exchange rates for accounting purposes on the assumption that future spot rates will fall below the forward rate. By this means the Company effectively provides for its foreign exchange exposure and was able to minimise any adverse impact.
1.
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk relates to the Companys future business plans and strategies, including the risks associated with the markets and industries in which we operate, demand for our products and services, competitor threats, technology and product innovation, mergers and acquisitions and public policy.
2.
Operational Risk
Operational risk relates to the risk arising from execution of business operations. The Company has established sound internal control systems in all its operations and continuously reviews and monitors those procedures to ensure accountability and transparency in all its operations. The Company is in the process of strengthening its controlling and monitoring processes while providing more prominence to the Compliance Department to ensure smooth functioning in all operations.
3.2.2. Interest Rate Risk The funding of a large proportion of the operations of Lankem Ceylon PLC is via debt. The Company continuously restructure its debt portfolio in a manner to minimize the downside risk of rising interest rates. Going forward, the Company is committed to reduce its level of debt in order to ensure that finance costs remain under control. 3.2.3. Inflation Rate Risk The Company serves both individuals and institutional clients. Upward movements in inflation will mainly deteriorate the purchasing power of both sets of customers. This will reduce the potential demand for Company products and increase the Companys cost base. The Company closely monitors fluctuations in price levels and focuses on the efficient management of its cost base so as to ensure minimal increase in price to customers. 3.2.4. Liquidity Risk Due to the nature of the businesses that the Company operates in, we need to ensure that working capital cycles are properly maintained so as to ensure that operations are not compromised due to the lack of adequate working capital. The Company implements effective credit control policies to ensure collection from debtors and the obligations to its creditors are met on time.
3.
Financial Risk
Financial risk covers the broad area of risk and mainly incorporates credit risk and market risk stemming from business operations. 3.1. Credit Risk Management Credit risks arise due to the non-payment by debtors which can lead to working capital issues. Due to the nature of operations and economic conditions that prevailed in 2011/12, The Company has provided its customers with fair credit periods to facilitate a smooth flow in operations. The Company implements proper credit controls and debt collection policies to ensure that the
| 41
3.2.5. Investment Risk This risk incorporates threat of investments not yielding the expected results. Lankem has in the recent past focused on organic growth. The Company conducts detailed feasibility studies on new projects and only once the Company ascertains that the rate of return is above a certain threshold will any investments take place. Further regular controlling and monitoring of the performance of newly implemented projects are carried out. Moreover suitable feedback controls are implemented to rectify any issues that may arise as well as feed forward controls are established to deter the reoccurrences of adverse variances.
4.
Business Risk
New entrants into the markets that Lankem is already present and the intensification of competition from existing players in these markets are the significant business risk that the Company faces. Variation in consumer spending patterns is also a potential business risk. The very nature of the industries that the Company and its subsidiaries operate in is also considered to be a source of business risk.
5.
Counterparty Risk
The Group may be exposed to the risk of losses on cash and other financial instruments held or managed on its behalf by financial institutions, in the instance that its counterparties defaults on their obligations. The Group policy is to limit its exposure by dealing solely with leading counterparties and monitoring their credit ratings.
6.
Industrial and Environmental Risks
The Group may be exposed to capital costs and environmental liabilities as a result of its past, present or future operations. The main industrial and environmental risks result from the storage of chemicals at certain sites and the waste generated from production process. These risks are predominantly managed by obtaining certifications and new methods through research and development subject to specific legislation and close supervision by the relevant authorities.
7.
Legal and Compliance
The Company addresses this area with great concern in order to protect its corporate image. Legal and compliance risk relates to changes in the Government and regulatory environment, compliance requirements with policies and procedures, including those relating to financial reporting, environmental health and safety and intellectual property risks. Government and regulatory risk is the risk that the government or regulatory actions will cause us to have to change our business models or practices.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these Financial Statements and have been applied consistently by the Group. Comparative information where necessary has been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation. The Directors have made an assessment of the Groups ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, and they do not foresee a need for liquidation or cessation of trading. 3.1. Basis of Consolidation 3.1.1. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently excisable are also taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The interest of the outside shareholders of the Group is disclosed separately under the heading of minority interest. A list of the Groups subsidiaries is set out on the inner back cover of this report. 3.1.2. Acquisitions of entities under common control The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non controlling interest. The excess of the Groups share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as Goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the Income Statement. 3.1.3. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Inter group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from inter group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated Financial Statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Groups interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 3.1.4. Transactions and Non-controlling Interest The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with noncontrolling interests as transactions with parties external to the
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1. Statement of Compliance The Financial Statements of the Company and those consolidated with such comprise the Balance Sheet, Statements of Income, Statement of Changes in equity and Cash Flow statement together with the Accounting Policies and Notes to the Financial Statements. These Statements are prepared in accordance with the Sri Lanka Accounting Standards (SLAS) promulgated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) and with the requirement of Companies Act No 7 of 2007. The Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30th May 2012. 2.2. Basis of Measurement The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain items of Property, Plant & Equipment, Short-Term Investments which are measured at fair value and Retirement Benefit Obligations which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit plans as explained in the respective Notes to the Financial Statements. 2.3. Functional and Presentation Currency The Financial Statements are presented in Sri Lankan Rupees which is the functional currency of the Group. All financial information presented in Sri Lankan Rupees has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless stated otherwise. 2.4. Use of Estimates and Judgments The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards (SLAS) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 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 revision affects both current and future periods. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the

Group. Disposals to non-controlling interest results in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the Income Statement. Purchases of non controlling interest results in Goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of subsidiary. 3.2. Foreign Currency 3.2.1. Foreign Currency Transactions In preparing the Financial Statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entitys functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the Balance Sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value or historical cost is translated at the rates prevailing on, the date when the fair value was determined or the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the period. 3.3.1.3. Leased Assets Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, The asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. The corresponding principal amount payable to the lessor is shown as a liability. The interest element of the rental obligation applicable to each financial year is charged to the Income Statement over the period of lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 3.3.1.4. Subsequent Costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within that part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition policy given below. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit and loss as incurred. 3.3.1.5. Derecognition The carrying amount of an item of Property, Plant & Equipment is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in the income statement and gains are not classified as revenue. 3.3.1.6. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost less its residual value. Depreciation is recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of Property, Plant & Equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless that it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Freehold Building Roads Plant, Machinery & Equipment Motor Vehicles Furniture, Fixtures & Fittings Electrical Equipment & Fittings Linen, Cutlery & Crockery 20-40 Years 25 Years 8-13 Years 5-10 Years 7-10 Years 10 Years On Replacement Basis
3.3. Assets and bases of their valuation

Assets classified as current assets in the Balance Sheet are cash and bank balances and those which are expected to be realised in cash during the normal operating cycle of the Companys business, or within one year from balance sheet date, whichever is shorter. Assets other than current assets are those which the Company intends to hold beyond a period of one year from the Balance Sheet date. 3.3.1. Property, Plant & Equipment 3.3.1.1. Recognition and measurement Items of Property, Plant & Equipment are measured at cost (or at valuation in the case of certain items) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 3.3.1.2. Owned Assets The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprise its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the working condition for its intended use. This also includes cost of dismantling and removing the items and restoring in the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of the equipment. A revaluation of Property, Plant & Equipment is done when there is a substantial difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets and is undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. Increases in the carrying amount on revaluation are credited to the revaluation surplus reserve in shareholders equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against revaluation surplus reserve directly in equity. All other decrease is recognised in profit and loss.
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use where as depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognised.
| 55
The appropriateness of useful lives of the asset and the depreciation rates are assessed annually. 3.3.2. Intangible Assets 3.3.2.1. Goodwill Goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the cost of acquisition. Negative goodwill is recognized immediately in the income statement. 3.3.3. Investments 3.3.3.1. Classification Investments in subsidiaries of the Company are treated as long term investments and stated at cost. Other investments which are held for yield or capital appreciation are also classified as long term investments that are intended to be held for trading purposes are classified as short-term investments. 3.3.3.2. Valuation Quoted and unquoted investments in shares held on long term basis are measured initially at cost. In the parent Companys Financial Statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment losses. Provision for impairment is made when in the opinion of the Directors there has been a decline which is other than temporary in the value of the investment. Short term investments are measured at the lower of cost and market value on an aggregate portfolio basis, with any resultant gain or loss recognized in the income statement. 3.3.3.3. Cost Cost of investments is the cost of acquisition including brokerage, commission and other fees. 3.3.3.4. Diminution in Carrying Value Diminution in carrying value of investments are deemed to be permanent where the Investee Company and/or Auditors have qualified their opinion on the going concern status, and/or operations have resulted in net losses and these are expected to continue, and/or where the core business has become non-viable due to environmental and/or other concerns, and/or where the industry/sector has an uncertain outlook due to environmental and/or other concerns. 3.3.4. Investment Property Investment property is property held to either earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is initially measured at its cost including related transaction cost and
is therefore carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 3.3.5. Inventories Raw materials, finished goods and work in progress of Lankem Ceylon PLC and its subsidiaries are valued at the lower of cost, on weighted average basis and net realisable value. Provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories where necessary. The cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing condition. In the case of manufactured inventories, cost includes raw material cost and packing material cost. At the invoice value of the goods that has been dispatched to the Company. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 3.3.6. Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are stated at the values estimated to be realised after providing for bad and doubtful debts. The Company identifies the specific receivables, which are not realizable, and make a specific provision for them. 3.3.7. Cash & Cash Equivalents Cash & cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Groups Cash Management are included as a component of cash & cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows. 3.3.8. Impairment of Assets The carrying amounts of the Groups assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. A CGU is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other asset groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to that asset.

Reversal of impairment losses is recognised only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 3.4. Liabilities & Provisions Liabilities classified as current liabilities on the Balance Sheet are those obligation payable on demand or within one (1) year from the Balance Sheet date. Items classified as non-current liabilities are those obligations which expire beyond a period of one (1) year from the Balance Sheet date. All known liabilities have been accounted for in preparing the Financial Statements. Provisions and liabilities are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 3.4.1. Retirement Benefit Obligation 3.4.1.1. Defined Contribution Plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to provident and trust funds covering all employees are recognised as an expense in profit and loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. 3.4.1.2. Defined Benefit Plans A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. Provision has been made in the Financial Statements for retiring gratuities payable under the Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983 to all employees including those who have less than 5 years of continued service with the Company. Lankem Ceylon PLC has obtained an insurance policy as described in Note 27 to the Financial Statements to meet the retiring gratuity payments to its employees. However, the provision in relation to other companies in the Group is not funded externally. 3.4.1.3. Defined Contribution Plans Employees Provident Fund and Employee Trust Fund All employees who are eligible for Employees Provident Fund contributions and Employees Trust Fund contributions are covered by relevant contributions funds in line with the relevant statutes. Employers contributions to the defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in the Income Statement when incurred. 3.4.2. Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be measured reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 3.4.3. Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are stated at their cost. 3.4.4. Stated Capital As per the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007, section 58 (1), stated capital in relation to a Company means the total of all amounts received by the Company or due and payable to the Company in respect of the issue of shares and in respect of call in arrears. 3.4.5. Capital Commitment and Contingent Liabilities Capital commitments and contingencies which exist as at the Balance Sheet date are disclosed in the respective notes to the Financial Statements. 3.5. Income Statement 3.5.1. Revenue The Groups revenue represents sales to customers outside the Group and excludes Value Added Tax, Turnover Tax and IntraGroup Sales. 3.5.1.1. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and the associated costs incurred or to be incurred can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of trade discounts and sales taxes, and after eliminating sales within the Group. The following specific criteria are used for the purpose of recognition of revenue. On sale of goods, when all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs of the transaction can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. On construction contracts, on the basis of the percentage completion method. However, for jobs substantially completed at the reporting date, revenue is accounted proportionately and accrued accordingly. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. For hotels, apartment revenue is recognised on rooms occupied on a daily basis whilst food and beverage sales are accounted for at the time of sale. 3.5.1.2. Interest Income Interest from bank deposits are recognized on a time proportion basis from the date of deposit to the Balance Sheet date. 3.5.1.3. Other Income Other income is recognized on an accrual basis. Net Gains and losses of revenue nature on the disposal of Property Plant and Equipment and other non current assets including investment have been accounted for in the income statement, having deducted from proceeds on disposal, the carrying amount of the assets and related expenses.
| 57

Expenditure Recognition 3.5.2.1. Operating Leases Leases where the Lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership over the lease term are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 3.5.2.2. Operating Expenses All expenses incurred in day to day operations of the business and in maintaining the Property, Plant and Equipment in a state of efficiency has been charged to the Income Statement in arriving at the profit for the year. Provision has also been made for bad and doubtful debts, all known liabilities and depreciation on property, plant and equipment. 3.5.2.3. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. The amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised is determined in accordance with the allowed alternative treatment in SLAS 20 - Borrowing Costs. 3.5.2.4. Finance Costs Interest expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. 3.5.3. Taxation 3.5.3.1. Current Taxes Current Income tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. The provision for income tax on Sri Lankan operation is based on the elements of income and expenditures reported in the Financial Statements and computed with in accordance with the provisions of the Inland Revenue Act. Income tax has been provided on overseas operations in accordance with the relevant statutes in force in the countries in which operations are carried out. The relevant details are disclosed in the respective notes to the Financial Statements. 3.5.3.2. Deferred Taxation Deferred taxation is provided, based on the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The balance in the deferred taxation account represents income tax applicable to the difference between the written down values for tax purposes of the assets on which tax depreciation has been claimed and the net book values of such assets, offset by the provision for retirement benefit which is deductible for income tax purposes only on payment.

GOING CONCERN
33.1 Group The consolidated financial statements of Lankem Ceylon PLC do not include any adjustments in relation to the recoverability and the classification of recorded asset amounts or to amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary, if any of the following companies are unable to continue as going concern. (i) Lankem Consumer Products Ltd recorded a loss of Rs. 11,976,798/- during the year ended 31st March 2012 and as at that date accumulated loss was Rs. 77,917,404/-. Further the total liability exceeds the total assets by Rs. 57,917,404/-and current liabilities exceeds current assets by Rs. 57,439,154/-. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainity which may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Hence Companys ability to continue as a going concern depends on the financial support of the parent Company, Lankem Ceylon PLC. However, the Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern assumption.
(ii) York Hotels (Kandy) Ltd., a subsidiary has not commenced its operations. Further, it has not continued the construction work since 1996. But the Board of Directors of the Company are confident that the construction work will be recommenced in the next financial year. (iii) SunAgro Farms Ltd., a subsidiary has incurred a loss of Rs. 3,099,332/- during the year ended 31 March 2012 and as at that date accumulated loss was Rs. 11,704,819/- and the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 28,733,675/-. Further, the Companys net assets are less than half of the stated capital and face a serious loss of capital situation as defined in section 220 (1) of Companies Act No 07 of 2007 and it is in the process of complying with the requirement of the same act. These factors have effects on companys ability to continue as going concern. However the Management has set an action plan which will be monitored by the Board to prevent further such losses or to recoup the losses incurred. Accordingly the Directors of the Company are in the view that the Company is able to continue as a going concern. (iv) Agarapatana Plantations Ltd., a subsidiary has recorded a net loss of Rs. 555,330,075/- during the year ended 31st March 2012 compared to the net profit of Rs.19,427,297/- made in year 2010/11, and as at 31st March 2012 the Current Liabilities of the Company exceeded its Current Assets by Rs.868,817,029/- (2011 - Rs. 386,344,413/-) and the Company is dependant on creditors and borrowings for the continuation of its operations. The Company s net assets is Rs. 10.15 Mn as at the balance sheet date and has a serious loss of capital as defined in section 220 (1) of the Companies Act N o 07 of 2007 and it is in the process of complying with the requirement of the Companies Act. The directors of the Company are confident that the financial position of the Company will significantly improve in the near future in view of the finance facilities available from the banks and related companies. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern. (v) Management of Associated Farms Ltd., has decided to transfer the net assets of Sigiriya Farm amounting to Rs. 9,985,683/- as per the Financial Statements as at 31 st March, 2011 to Sigirya Village Hotel PLC on 15th July, 2011. The Company has ceased its operations due to the environmental issues and will be looking for a suitable place to continue the business. (vi) Lankem Developments PLC, a subsidiary has incurred a loss of Rs. 266,980,889/- during the year ended 31st March 2012 (2010/11 Rs. 27,012,210/- ), as at that date accumulated loss was Rs.360,790,627/- (2010/11 - Rs. 86,123,513/-) and the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 86,072,866/- (2010/11 Rs. 17,408,259/-). These factors raise significant doubt of the Companys ability to continue as going concern. However the management is the view that investments in Plantation sector and Hydro Power Plants will generate profits in the future. Accordingly the Directors of the Company are of the view that the Company is able to continue as a going concern and financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern. (vii) Lankem Technology Services Ltd., a subsidiary has not commenced its operations from the date of incorporation and incurred a loss of Rs. 11,200/- during the year ended 31st March 2012 and as at that date accumulated loss was Rs. 32,400/-. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
