On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome
you to the 21st Annual General Meeting and to present you the
Annual Report and Accounts of Bogawantalawa Tea Estates
PLC for the year 2013/2014.
The Tea Industry
According to the Central Bank Annual Report, the Sri Lankan
economy grew by 7.3% in 2013 compared to the 6.3% growth
recorded in 2012 whilst the agriculture sub sector grew only by
4.7%. The share of the agricultural export sector ie; tea, rubber,
coconut etc. accounted for 24.8% of the total export earnings
in 2013. The total tea export earnings for the year amounting
to US$ 1. 54 Billion Contributes only 14.8% of the total export
earnings of Sri Lanka. The total tea export volume from Sri
Lanka for the year 2013 recorded a figure of 320 Million kilos
compared with the world export figure of 1,865 Million kilos. As
for the global market share, Sri Lankan export figure works out
to 17%, while Kenya retained its position as the largest exporter
with a share of 26%. As for the production, Sri Lanka recorded
an all time high production of 340.2 Million kilos, which is a gain
of 12 million kilos from the previous year. However, the high
grown production figure of 74.4 million kilos was only 22% of
the total Sri Lankan tea production.
Performance of the company
Very adverse weather conditions prevailed during the year,
especially during the period June to September 2013 coupled
with the 20% wage increase granted w.e.f 1st April 2013 had a
major impact on the financial performance which has resulted
in a net loss of Rs. 39.5 Million for the year under review. The
company has experienced a drop of 8.3 % in turnover mainly
due to crop shortfalls. The company net sale average for tea of
Rs. 414.03 is an increase of Rs. 9.69 per kg from the previous
year. The high grown tea estates ended the season at an overall
yield of 1608 kg per hectare, which is 7% below last season
productivity figure. The cost of production has increased by Rs.
23.42per kg to due to crop shortfalls and the escalation of costs
related to wages, fuel and electricity.
Despite adverse financial results, the company continued
its capital development programmes, in particular field
development activities, factory modernization programmes
and worker welfare activities, and in fact has invested Rs.
193.4Mn during the year under review with a view to ensuring
long-term sustainability and growth. We continue to invest on
medium/ long term development programmes which include
replanting and diversification.
Since Balance Sheet date, higher tea production levels achieved
by our estates coupled with increase in Bogawantalawa
tea prices, due to the strategies & actions adopted by the
management to improve integrated quality & productivity,
resulted in a turnaround situation in the first quarter financial
results of the current year 2014/15 itself, recording a net profit
after tax of Rs.31.4 Million during the first quarter of 2014/15 as
against a net loss of Rs. 41.5 Million during the corresponding

on further improving its efforts in marketing teas in different
forms such as value added flavored black & green teas, silver
tips, herbal teas etc., in selected international markets. The
company has invested Rs.220 Million in modern state- of- theart tea bag manufacturing machines to meet the changing
demand of modern “knot” base tea bags. BPL Teas continues to
establish firm relationships and contracts with well-established
private label brands. We are pleased to inform you that in
terms of financial performance, the company has shown
a tremendous growth prospects and has recorded overall

Sustainability Report
People, Planet and Profit
Bogawantalawa Tea Estates PLC (BTE) is a leading tea
exporter who produces a variety of own brand and private
label tea products from the teas manufactured in its own
estates. The Company’s high grown tea estates are located in
Bogawantalawa Valley known as the “Golden Valley of Ceylon
Tea”. These estates are located in the extensive western slopes
of the tea planting district of Nuwara Eliya. High elevations
are considered to be the most favorable for producing quality
tea. Its lush, vigorous tea bushes produce pure fresh teas, with
its distinctive aroma and taste. With years of experience we
are positioned to be the preferred private label partner for
discerning customers.
Key interventions of Bogawantalawa sustainable Tea
“Bogawantalawa Tea” is made according to the principles
of “sustainable food” thus providing values to discerning
customers, community, employees and all other stake holders.
The quality of tea is affected by a number of factors which can
be classified into four; namely cultivars, environmental aspects,
agricultural practices and tea manufacturing techniques. The
fermentation ability, chemical components and agronomic
characters vary with cultivars. Soils and climate are two
major factors affecting the quality. Agricultural practices
include among others prudent harvesting techniques, fertility
management & irrigation, plant protection etc. Tea manufacture
involves a series of complicated operations (withering, rolling,
fermenting, drying & sifting) which indeed can be regarded
as a combination of science, art and craft. Slight changes in
manipulation of every step can affect the final quality including
appearance, tea liquor,colour, aroma and taste.
(1) Carbon neutral plantations
BTE garden fresh teas are unique because of the company’s
integrated approach linking the overall estate operationsto the
ecological systems and socially responsible activities (CSR). In
this report, estate interventions on sustainable management of
tea are discussed in brief.
Sustainability Policy
“BTE sustainable development policy is based on its premise
that its long term value creation for the shareholders
depends on the sustainable development of our estates
and the community in which we operate.”
•
•
The environmental sustainability policy consistently
reviews the commitment of BTE to conserve and
manage the environment in which the company
operates for the benefit and well- being of the present
and future generations within plantations and its
neighborhood.
Towards achieving this objective, BTE shall pursue
environmentally friendly and socially responsible
practices & methods in all its agricultural field
operations, tea manufacturing processes and managing
its employees to ensure that all natural resources and
eco-systems will be managed in a sustainable manner.
BTE key interventions of sustainable development programmes
are as follows.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Carbon neutral plantations
Plantation forestry
Conservation and social forestry
Towards organic production
Human resources and social development
The BTE concept of carbon neutral plantation aimed at
neutralizing the emissionof carbon dioxide gasses from the
estates because it is the gas which is highly contributed to the
“green- house” effect. Greenhouse effect causes to the Global
warming and as a result climatic and weather changes, sinking
of lands, increasing of sea levels due to melting of glaziers,
crop damages, pest and diseases, skin cancers, flora and fauna
damagers…etc. are possible to experienced.
Sources of carbon dioxide production in plantation sector are
burning of fossil fuels, processing, fermentations, microbial
activities, natural process…etc. Our interventions and practical
applications to be a carbon neutral plantation are as follows,
1. Management and cultivationof carbon sinks in large scale
More than 85% of our total extent has covered with
any vegetation type such as bushes, trees, shrubs,
veins, grasses, flowering plants, micro flora…etc. This
vegetation absorbs Co2 from atmosphere during
day time and emit O2 environment to maintain the
equilibrium of atmosphere.
2. Minimize consumption of natural resources
Non-renewable fossil fuels are non-renewable natural
resource. It produces a high percentage of Co2, Co, No2
and So2.
3. Minimize production of green-house gases
Co2, Co, No2, So2, CFC and O3 are green-house gasses.
BTEL has identified sources of these gases and have
adopted controlling measures.
4. Extension services and awareness programs
Extension programmes to educate the employees and
their family members, School children, Community,
and other stake holders are conducted, periodically,
in collaboration with Government Organizations, NGO
and private service providers.
5. Recycling and waste management
Uncontrolled and disorganized waste management
system is caused to production of Methane (CH4)
and Co2 while creating a number of hindrances in
sustainable development. BTEL is highly concern about
the waste management and do recycling accordingly.
6. Own fuel wood reserves
The fuel wood plantations are maintained in order to be
sustainable from energy reserves. Ecologically adapted
provincials of Eucalyptus Species, Calliandracallothyrus,
Grevelliyarobusta…etc. are planted in wood lots. High
productivity, high energy value, minimize the pressure
on natural forest, high biodiversity, habitat to wild life
are few benefits of these fuel wood reserves.
7. Sustainable replanting and new planting
When trees are harvested for fuel wood purpose
or old teas are uprooted for replanting, replanting
programmes are conducted without delaying to
maintain the ecological sustainability.
8. Tea Factories
Earlier, our tea processing factories ran with the fossil
fuels. At present BTE has converted these factories to
use the Steam Broilers. As a result, net emission of Co2
quantity is negligible, from our tea estates.
9. Facilitate to enhance bio diversities and eco system stability
All the flora and fauna have been inventoried.
Conservation measures are adapted to protect the red
listed and endemic flora and fauna. BTE environmental
professionals always monitor the biodiversity and
facilitate to ecosystem stability.
10. Green development
Green development is a land use planning concept that
includes consideration of community-wide or regional
environmental implications of development, as well
as site-specific green building concepts. This includes
city planning, environmental planning, architecture,
landscape architecture and community building.
11. Hydro power plants
The power generated by the group utilizing
Bogawantalawa land exceeds 10(ten) MW which is
more than the electricity usage by BTE tea factories and
the other buildings in the estates.
This step is in keeping with the focus of sustainability
in the plantations and also towards clean energy
generation resulting in contributing towards
minimizing carbon Emission.
Mini hydro power plants are,
1. Maliboda Estate/ Ellapita Ella - 0.8Mega Watts
2. -Do- -Magalganga - 9.9MW
3. -Do
- MandagalOya - 0. 9 MW
In addition Bogawantalawa has six small scale hydro power
plants in the estates.
Bogawana - 115KW
Although the rated Generator output is 115KW, it generates
only around 70KW. Rehabilitation to the existing machine
would be done after inspecting the turbine components such
as runners, wearing rings, vanes etc.
Loinorn - 157KVA
At present it could generate 157KVA, but shorter period, around
6 - 7 hours. This machine works with the availability of water at
the reservoir tank.
Campion - 40KVA
Here too, repairs to the channel and increase the water holding
capacity by building new structures to the existing system,
would have to be undertaken. Thepower generating capacity
could be improved and run for longer hours.
Kotiyagalla Estate.
Chinese Pelton - 75KW
English Pelton - 112.5 KVA (90KW)
The necessary repairs are in progress. With the improvement
to the present channel if both generators are working these
two generators could absorb at least 40% of the electricity
consumption.
Wanarajah Estate
The Mini Hydro capacity is around 100KW. However the
channels would have to be rehabilitated.
In addition to above, BTE has a Joint Venture projects to
generate power @ Osborne estate.
Osborne (Agra Oya Hydro (Pvt) Ltd)
Capacity - 1.5 MW
Majority of potential areas for hydro power have been
converted and another project @Campion is in the pipeline.
To enhance the efficiency of energy consumption energy
audits are periodically being conducted.
(2) Plantation forestry
Plantation forestry provides mainly production, protection
and recreation benefits to the tea estates. With the prevailing
demand for the fuel wood, timber and other products related
to the forestry, the opportunity to plantation forestry is vast.

a. Production
Timber, Fuel wood, Poles, Gum, Resins, Honey, …etc.
b. Protection
Water shade, Catchments, Minimize Soil Erosion,
Improve soil resource base, Habitats
(iii) To encourage plantation of large and beautiful trees which
provide shadow to enhance the natural beauty and to plant
all around the cultivation field to increase production.
(iv) To encourage environment conservation byplantation and
to create general consciousness regarding environment
conservation.
c. Recreation
Bare lands turn in to green, Improve Bio diversity index,
House for eco-tourism,etc.
(v) To enhance the natural beauty of the villages and cities by
plantation.
As a reputed Company we have been given our prior attention
to Environmental conservation through plantation forestry
under the sustainable development. Sustainable managements
of natural resources are vital and these activities are managed
by Forestry / Timber and Environment Division of the Company
in collaboration with estates management by introducing of
diverse agro forestry models.
(4) Towards organic production
The basic definition is food grown or raised without the use
of additives, coloring, synthetic chemicals (e.g., fertilizers,
pesticides, and hormones), radiation, or genetic manipulation.
At present, we are working towards the organic production with
our innovative findings and vast research and development
activities.
Selected bare lands and marginal tea fields have been
converted to Plantation Forestry and we are managing
Eucalyptus grandis 105,280 Number of trees in 150 Ha of
extent as managed timber blocks. All the activities including
tending / silvicultural operations, harvestings … etc, related to
forestry conduct according to forestry master plan-2013/2018,

rules and regulations.
In-house activities are as follows,
1. Minimum use of artificial fertilizers
Both major and minor nutrients are replaced with
organic fertilizers
Reforestation and afforestation in both Up Country
& Low Country estates are conducting annually with
timber and fuel wood species. Eucalyptus grandis and
Swieteniamacrophylla,commonly grow as timber species and
Calliandracalothyrsus and Gliricidiamolluccana, as fuel wood
species. It is important to note that we always maintain our
annual allowable cut below the annual increments of stands to
sustainable management of our forestry reserves.
2. In house research activities.
(a) A pilot project is being undertaken with outside
expertise to convert some areas of tea into
cultivation and manufacture of organic tea to
discerning customers.
(3) Conservation and social forestry
Social forestry means the management and protection of
forests and afforestation on barren lands with the purpose of
helping in the environmental, social and rural development.
Social forestry is the forestry by the people and for the people,
whose main purpose is to fulfill the needs of forestry which are
manure, food, fruit, fiber and productive capacity. As a whole
social forestry’s main objective is to reconstruct the ecosystem
and conserve the environment. The objectives of social forestry
are as follows.
(i) To cooperate soil conservation and to prevent spoiling the
productive capacity of soil.
(ii) To increase fuel availability and to increase the food
modification by increasing fruit production.
1. Minimum level of chemicals application

experimented. “Effect of global warming on
“Eucalyptus Grandis” in up country area “, “Water
use efficiency of Eucalyptus Grandis” and Screening
of most suitable firewood species for up country
tea estates are being studied in collaboration with
scientific institutions.
3. Organic fertilizers and pesticides
Organic fertilizers are fertilizers derived from animal
or vegetable matter. (e.g. compost, manure).
Naturally occurring organic fertilizers include
manure, slurry, worm castings, peat, seaweed,
humic acid…etc. Processed organic fertilizers
include compost, bloodmeal, bone meal, humic
acid, amino acids, and seaweed extracts. Other
examples are natural enzyme-digested proteins,
fish meal, and feather meal. Decomposing crop
residue (green manure) from prior years is another
source of fertility.

Sri Lanka Accounting Standards, which comprise Sri
Lanka Financial Reporting Standards (SLFRSs), Sri Lanka
Accounting Standards (LKASs), Statement of Alternative

2.3
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with SLFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amount of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results form
the basis of making the judgements about the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any
future period affected.
35
Information about critical judgements in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect
on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are

offset unless required or permitted by SLFRSs / LKASs.

- Amortized cost
- Fair value through profit or loss
- Fair value through other comprehensive income.
The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning
on or after 01st January, 2015.
b)
SLFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements
SLFRS 10 replaces the portion of LKAS 27 - Consolidated
and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the
accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also
addresses the issues raised in SIC 12 - Consolidation
Special Purpose Entities. SLFRS 10 establishes a single
control model that applies to all entities including special
purpose entities. The changes introduced by SLFRS 10 will
require management to exercise significant judgement to
determine which entities are controlled and therefore, are
required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with
the requirements that were in LKAS 27. SLFRS 10 was issued
in 2012 and become effective for the financial periods
beginning on or after 01st January, 2014. Accordingly, the
financial statements for the year ending 31st March, 2015
will adopt the SLFRS 10. The company/group will quantify
the effect in due course.
c)
SLFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements
SLFRS 11 replaces LKAS 31 - Interest in Joint Ventures
and SIC - 13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-monetary
Contributions by Ventures. SLFRS 11 removes the option
to account for Jointly Controlled Entities (JCEs) using
proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the
definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using
the equity method. The company does not have any
joint venture arrangements presently recognized under
proportionate consolidation method. SLFRS 11 was issued
in 2012 and become effective for the financial periods
beginning on or after 01st January, 2014. Accordingly, the
financial statements for the year ending 31st March, 2015
will adopt the SLFRS 11. The company/group will quantify
the effect in due course.
d)
SLFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
SLFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were
previously in LKAS 27 related to consolidated financial
statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were
previously included in LKAS 31 and LKAS 28. These
disclosures relate to an entity’s interest in subsidiaries,
Effect of Accounting Standards Issued but not Effective
As At the Reporting Date
There are a number of new Accounting Standards,
amendments to standards, which have been issued but
not yet effective as at the reporting date have not been
applied in preparing these Financial Statements. The
Company and the Group will adopt the following new/
revised Accounting Standards which will be effective
from 01st January, 2014 and 2015. Accordingly, these

3.1
SLFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement
SLFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under
SLFRS for all fair value measurements. SLFRS 13 does not
change when an entity is required to use fair value, but
rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value
under SLFRSs when fair value is required or permitted.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning
on or after 01st January, 2014. Accordingly, the financial
statements for the year ending 31st March, 2015 will
adopt the SLFRS 13. The company/group will quantify the
effect in due course.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below are consistent
with those used in the previous year. Accounting policies
of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the
Group.
Basis of Consolidation
The Group’s Financial Statements comprise consolidation
of the Financial Statements of the Company, its Subsidiary
(BPL Teas (Pvt) Ltd) in terms of the Sri Lanka Accounting
Standard -LKAS 27 on ‘Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements’.
3.1.1 Business Combinations and Goodwill
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the
acquisition method of accounting. The Group measures
goodwill at the acquisition date as the fair value of the
consideration transferred including the recognized
amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree,
less the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of
the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all
measured as of the acquisition date.
When the fair value of the consideration transferred
including the recognized amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquire is lower than the fair value of net
assets acquired, a gain is recognized immediately in the
statement of comprehensive income.
The Group elects on a transaction-by transaction basis
whether to measure non-controlling interests at fair value,
or at their proportionate share of the recognized amount
of the identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the
issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in
connection with a business combination are expensed as
incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the
financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the
contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent
conditions as at the acquisition date.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the
acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value
at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the
acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition
date. Contingent consideration which is deemed to be an
asset or liability, which is a financial instrument and within
the scope of LKAS 39, is measured at fair value with changes
in fair value either in the statement of comprehensive
income or as a change to other comprehensive income. If
the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it will
not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted
for within equity. In instances where the contingent
consideration does not fall within the scope of LKAS 39,
it is measured in accordance with the appropriate SLFRS/
LKAS.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less
any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed
for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
maybe impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing,
goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from
the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s
cash generating units that are expected to benefit from
the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or
liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
3.1.2 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose
entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies generally accompanying a
shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that
are currently exercisable or convertible are considered
when assessing whether the Group controls another
entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date
on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group
also assesses existence of control where it does not have
more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern
the financial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto
control. De-facto control may arise in circumstances where
the size of the Group’s voting rights relative to the size
and dispersion of holdings of other shareholders give the
Group the power to govern the financial and operating
policies, etc. Estimates and underlying assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which the
37
estimate revised and in any future periods affected.
3.2
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost
less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in
consideration arising from contingent consideration
amendments. Cost also includes directly attributable costs
of investment.
3.2.1 Functional and Presentation Currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entities
operate (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated
financial statements are presented in Sri Lankan Rupees,
which is the Company’s and the Group’s functional and
presentation currency.
3.1.3 Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or
loss and net assets of Subsidiaries not owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company.
Non-controlling interests are presented separately in
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
and within equity in the consolidated statement of
financial position, but separate from Parent shareholders’
equity. Any losses applicable to the non-controlling
interests are allocated against the interests of the noncontrolling interests even if this results in a deficit balance.
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted
for using the Parent entity extension method, whereby
the difference between the consideration and the fair
value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognized
as equity. Therefore, no goodwill recognized as a result of
such transactions.
The Financial Statements of the Company’s Subsidiaries
are prepared for the same reporting year, using consistent
Accounting Policies.
The Financial Statements of all Subsidiaries in the Group
have a common financial year which ends on 31st March.
3.1.4 Loss of Control
Upon the loss of control, the Group de-recognizes the
assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary, any non-controlling
interests and the other components of equity related to
the Subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss
of control is recognized in profit or loss. If the Group
retains any interest in the previous Subsidiary, then such
interest is measured at fair value at the date that control
is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an Associate
or in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for
financial instruments.
3.1.5 Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any
unrealized income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in full in preparing
the Consolidated Financial Statements. Unrealized gains
arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees
are eliminated against the investment to the extent of
the Group’s 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.
Foreign Currencies
3.2.2 Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are
re-measured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to
borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented
in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘Finance
income or cost’.
3.3
Property, Plant and Equipment
3.3.1 Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment other than
bare land are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that
is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
The Company and the Group elected the exemption to
measure land and buildings recognized previously at
revalued amounts as deemed cost with effect from 01st
April, 2011 in accordance with provisions of SLFRS 1.
Accordingly, land and buildings are stated at deemed cost
less accumulated depreciation.
The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises
expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the
item. These costs include the cost of replacing part of the
property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for
long term construction projects if the recognition criteria
are met. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the
cost of materials and direct labour, any other cost directly
attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition
for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling,
removal and restoration, and the obligation for which
an entity incurs either when the item is acquired or as a
consequence of having used the item during a particular
period.
38
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognized 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
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognized.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the
statement of comprehensive income during the financial
period in which they are incurred
3.3.2 Depreciation
Depreciation of assets begins when it is available for
use and ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is
classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. Significant components of individual assets
are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is
different from the remainder of that asset, that component
is depreciated separately. Land is not depreciated.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and
are recognized within ‘other income’ in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Identifiable interest costs on borrowings to finance
the construction of property, plant and equipment are
capitalized during the period of time that is required to
complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.
3.3.3 Amortization of Leasehold Right
The leasehold rights over assets taken over from JEDB /
SLSPC are being amortized in equal amounts over the
following years. (Lower of lease period and economic
useful life)
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line
method to allocate their cost to their residual values over
their estimated useful lives.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the
shorter of the lease term and the useful lives of equivalent
owned assets unless it is reasonably certain that the Group
will have ownership by the end of the lease term. The
estimated useful lives for the current and comparative
periods are as follows:
Over 40 years
Water Projects and Sanitation
Over 20 years
Plant and Machinery
Over 13 1/3 years
Motor Vehicles
Over 05 years
Equipment
Over 08 years
Furniture and Fittings
Over 10 years
(Replanting and New Planting)
Tea
Over 33 1/3 years
Rubber
Over 20 years
Coconut
Over 08 years
Leasehold Assets
Plant and Machinery
Over 13 1/3 years
Motor Vehicles
Over 05 years
Equipment
Over 08 years
The useful life, residual values and depreciation method of
assets are reviewed, and adjusted if required, at the end of
each financial year.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately
to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Over 53 years
Buildings
Over 25 years
Plant and Machinery
Over 15 years
Water Supply Scheme
Over 20 years
Mature Plantation (Both Tea and
Rubber)
over 30 years
3.3.4 Permanent Land Development Costs
Permanent land development costs are those costs
incurred making major infrastructure development and
building new access roads on leasehold lands.
These costs have been capitalized and amortized over the
remaining lease period.
Permanent impairment to land development costs is
charged to the statement of comprehensive income in full
or reduced to the net carrying amounts of such assets in
the year of occurrence after ascertaining the loss.
Freehold Assets
Improvements to Bare Land
Bare Land
3.3.5 Repairs and Maintenance
Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of
comprehensive income during the period in which they are
incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the
carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future
economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed
standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to
the Company and the Group. This cost is depreciated over
the remaining useful life of the related asset.
3.4
Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held
for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount
and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and
disposal groups are classified as held for sale only when
the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group
is available for immediate sale in its present condition. In
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of
the reporting period, and of the comparable period of the
39
previous year, income and expenses from discontinued
operations are reported separately from income and
expenses from continuing operations. Property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets once classified as held
for sale are not depreciated or amortized.
The gain or loss arising on initial recognition of consumable
biological assets at fair value less cost to sell and from
a change in fair value less cost to sell of consumable
biological assets are included in the statement of
comprehensive income for the period in which it arises.
3.5
Biological Assets
The entity recognizes the biological assets when, and
only when, the entity controls the assets as a result of a
past event, it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the assets will flow to the entity and the
fair value or cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Consumable biological assets represent Eucalyptus
Grandis timber trees that the company grows and
manages in its plantations. The Eucalyptus Grandis timber
tree matures after 17 years and as per best harvesting
practices, the trees can be harvested when they are 20
years old.
Biological assets are classified in to mature biological assets
and immature biological assets. Mature biological assets
are those that have attained harvestable specifications or
are able to sustain regular harvests. Immature biological
assets are those that have not yet attained harvestable
specifications. Tea, rubber, other plantations and nurseries
are classified as biological assets.
Eucalyptus Grandis Trees at their initial stage (i.e upto five
years from the date of planting) are measured at cost and
depreciated over five years.
The fair value of timber trees are measured using DCF
method taking into consideration the current market
prices of timber, applied to expected timber content of
trees at the maturity by an independent professional
Valuation Surveyor M/S Ariyatillake & Co. (Pvt) Ltd.
The cost of land preparation, rehabilitation, new planting,
replanting, crop diversification, inter-planting and
fertilizing, etc., incurred between the time of planting
and harvesting (when the planted area attains maturity),
are classified as immature plantations. These immature
plantations are shown at direct costs plus attributable
overheads, including interest attributable to long-term
loans used for financing immature plantations. The
expenditure incurred on bearer biological assets (tea,
rubber fields) which comes into bearing during the year,
is transferred to mature plantations. Expenditure incurred
on consumable biological assets is recorded at cost at
initial recognition and thereafter at fair value at the end of
each reporting period.
3.5.3 Growing Crop Nurseries
Nursery cost includes the cost of direct materials,
direct labour and an appropriate proportion of directly
attributable overheads, less provision for overgrown
plants.
The main variables in the DCF model are:

3.5.1 Bearer Biological Assets
Bearer biological assets include tea and rubber trees that
are not intended to be sold or harvested, but are grown
for harvesting agricultural produce from such biological
assets. The bearer biological assets are measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any, in terms of LKAS 16 - Property,
Plant and Equipment as per the ruling issued by ICASL.
3.5.2 Consumable Biological Assets
Consumable biological assets include managed timber
trees that are to be sold as biological assets. The managed
timber trees are measured on initial recognition and at the
end of each reporting period at its fair value less cost to sell
in terms of LKAS 41. The cost is treated as approximation
to fair value of young plants as the impact on biological
transformation of such plants to price during this period is
immaterial.

Discount rate reflects the possible
variations in the Cash flows and the risk

Grandis Trees are measured at the directors’ assessment
of their fair value at each reporting date, after
considering and making necessary adjustments to the
independent valuers’ report to reflect the requirements
of the International Accounting Standard with respect
to valuation. In the absence of market based valuation

measures the fair value of biological assets have been
determined using the net present value of the expected
future cash flows (discounted at a risk adjusted rate).
All other assumptions and sensitivity analysis are given in
note 21 to the financial statements.
3.5.4 Infilling Cost on Bearer Biological Assets
Where infilling results in an increase in the economic
life of the relevant field beyond its previously assessed
standard of performance, the costs are capitalized and
depreciated over the useful life at rates applicable to
mature plantations. Infilling costs that are not capitalized
have been charged to the statement of comprehensive
income in the year in which they are incurred.
3.6
3.7
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset, which takes a substantial period of time to get ready
for its intended use or sale are capitalized as a part of the
asset.
Costs associated with maintaining computer software
programmes are recognized as an expense as incurred.
Costs that are directly associated with the production
of identifiable and unique software products controlled
by the Group, and that will probably generate economic
benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognized
as intangible assets. These directly attributable costs
include the software development employee costs and an
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Borrowing costs that are not capitalized are recognized
as expenses in the period in which they are incurred and
charged to the statement of comprehensive income.
Computer software development costs recognized as
assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives,
which do not exceed 02 years.
The amounts of the borrowing costs which are eligible for
capitalization are determined in accordance with LKAS 23
- “Borrowing Costs”.
Costs relating to development of software are carried in
capital work-in-progress until the software is available for
use.
Other development expenditures that do not meet the
above criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognized as an expense
are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
3.8
Capital Work-in-Progress
The cost of capital work-in-progress is the cost of purchase
or construction together with any related expenses
thereon.
Intangible Assets
3.7.1 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition
over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net
identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date
of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is
included under intangible assets. Goodwill acquired in a
business combination is tested annually for impairment
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it might be impaired and carried at less than
costs less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment
losses on goodwill are not reversed.
3.7.3 Computer Software
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on
the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use
the specific software. These costs are amortized over their
estimated useful life of 02 years.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (‘CGU’) for
the purpose of impairment testing. Each CGU or a group
of CGUs represents the lowest level within the Group at
which goodwill is monitored for internal management
purposes and which are expected to benefit from the
synergies of the combination.
3.7.2 Licenses
Separately acquired licenses are shown at historical
cost. Licenses acquired in a business combination are
recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Licenses
have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less
Expenditure incurred on capital work-in-progress for
permanent nature or for the purpose of increasing the
earning capacity of the business has been treated as
capital expenditure.
Capital work-in-progress is transferred to the respective
asset accounts at the time of first utilization or at the time
the asset is commissioned.
3.9
Investments
In the Company’s separate financial statement,
investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Where an
indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of
the investment is assessed and written down immediately
to its recoverable amount.
41
3.10 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial
assets, other than deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each reporting date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating
unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less
costs to sell.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that
cannot be tested individually are grouped together into
the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows
from continuing use that are largely independent of the
cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash
generating unit, or CGU”).
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount
of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognized in statement of
In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in
prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any
indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
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 loss had
been recognized.
3.11 Financial Assets
3.11.1Classification
The Company and the Group classify its financial assets
in the following categories: at fair value through profit
or loss (‘FvTPL’), loans and receivables, available-for-sale
(‘AFS’) and held-to-maturity (‘HTM’). The classification
depends on the purpose for which the financial assets
were acquired. Management determines the classification
of its financial assets at initial recognition.
i.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or
Loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset
is classified in this category if acquired principally for
the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives
are also categorized as held for trading unless they
are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are
classified as current assets if expected to be settled
within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as
non-current.
ii. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial
assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. They are included
in current assets, except for maturities greater than
twelve (12) months after the end of the reporting
period. These are classified as non-current assets.
iii. Available-For-Sale Financial Assets
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are
either designated in this category or not classified
in any of the other categories. They are included in
non-current assets unless the investment matures or
management intends to dispose of it within twelve
(12) months from the end of the reporting period.
iv. Held-To-Maturity Financial Assets
HTM financial assets are non-derivative financial
assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturities that the Company’s and the Group’s
management have the positive intention and ability
to hold to maturity. If the Company and the Group
were to sell other than an insignificant amount of
HTM financial assets, the whole category would
be reclassified as AFS. HTM financial assets are
included in non-current assets, except for those with
maturities less than twelve (12) months from the end
of the reporting period, which are classified as current
assets.
3.11.2Recognition and Initial Measurement
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the
Company and the Group commit to purchase or sell the
asset.
Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus
transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at FvTPL.
Financial assets carried at FvTPL are initially recognized
at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the
3.11.3Subsequent Measurement - Gains and Losses
AFS financial assets and financial assets at FvTPL are
subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables
and HTM financial assets are subsequently carried at
amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Changes in the fair values of financial assets at FvTPL,
including the effects of currency translation are recognized
in the statement of comprehensive income in the period
in which the changes arise.
42
3.11.4Determination of Fair Value
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be
exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable,
willing parties in an arm’s length transaction on the
measurement date.
Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy
Level 1
The fair value for financial instruments traded in active
markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted
market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long
positions and ask price for short positions), without any
deduction for transaction costs.
Level 2
For all other financial instruments not traded in an active
market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate
valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include the
discounted cash flow method, comparison with similar
instruments for which market observable prices exist,
options pricing models, credit models and other relevant
valuation models.
Level 3
Certain financial instruments are recorded at fair value
using valuation techniques in which current market
transactions or observable market data are not available.
Their fair value is determined using a valuation model that
has been tested against prices or inputs to actual market
transactions and using the best estimate of the most
appropriate model assumptions.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the
loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have
not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s
original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the
asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized
in the statement of comprehensive income. If a loan or
held-to maturity investment has a variable interest rate,
the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss
is the current effective interest rate determined under
the contract. As a practical expedient, the Company and
the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an
instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment
loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized,
the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss
is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
ii.
Assets Classified as AFS
The Company and the Group assess at the end of each
reporting period whether there is objective evidence that
a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
For debt securities, the Company and the Group use
criteria and measurement of impairment loss applicable for
‘assets carried at amortized cost’ above. If, in a subsequent
period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as
AFS increases and the increase can be objectively related
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income,
the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of
In the case of equity securities classified as AFS, in addition
to the criteria for ‘assets carried at amortized cost’ above,
a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the
security below its cost is also considered as an indicator
that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists
for AFS financial assets, the cumulative loss that had been
recognized directly in equity is removed from equity and
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The amount of cumulative loss that is reclassified to the
statement of comprehensive income is the difference
between the acquisition cost and the current fair value,
less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment losses recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income on equity instruments classified
as AFS are not reversed through the statement of
3.11.5Subsequent Measurement - Impairment of Financial
Assets
i.
Assets Carried at Amortized Cost
The Company and the Group assess at the end of each
reporting period whether there is objective evidence that
a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and
impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective
evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events
that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a
‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact
on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or
group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the
debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant
financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or
principal payments, the probability that they will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where
observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease
in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in
arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
3.11.6De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognized when the rights to receive
cash flows from the investments have expired or have
43
been transferred and the Company and the Group have
transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
due according to the original terms of receivable. Bad
debts are written-off when identified.
3.11.7Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net
amount presented in the statement of financial position
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
3.14 Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at
call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings
in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
3.12 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net
realizable value, after making due allowances for obsolete
and slow moving items. The cost of inventories includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories,
production or conversion costs and other costs incurred
in bringing them to their existing location and condition.
Manufactured inventories cost includes an appropriate
share of production overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Net realizable value is the price at which
inventories can be sold in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated cost of completion and estimated cost
necessary to make the sale.

3.13 Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for
merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary
course of business. If collection is expected in one year
or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if
longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are
presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are stated at the amounts
they are estimated to realize, net of provisions for bad
and doubtful receivables. A provision for doubtful debts
is made where as there is objective evidence that the
Company or Group will not be able to recover all amounts
3.15.1Classification
Ordinary shares with discretionary dividends are
classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity
or liability according to the economic substance of the
particular instrument. Distribution to holders of a financial
instrument classified as an equity instrument is charged
directly to equity.
3.15.2Share Issue Expenses
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of
new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax from the proceeds.
3.15.3Dividend to Shareholders of the Company
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is
recognized as a liability in the Company’s and the Group’s
financial statements in the period in which the dividends
are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
3.16 Financial Liabilities
3.16.1Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities within the scope of LKAS 39 are classified
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as
hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
The Group and Company determines the classification of
its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial
liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the
case of loans and borrowings, carried at amortized cost.
This includes directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other
payables, bank overdrafts, loans and borrowings.
3.16.2Subsequent Measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
depends on their classification as described below:
a)
Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or
Loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair
44
value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are
classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the
purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on
liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement
of comprehensive income.
The Group and Company have not designated any
financial liabilities upon initial recognition as at fair value
through profit or loss.
b)
Loans and Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses
are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income
when the liabilities are de-recognized as well as through the
effective interest rate method (EIR) amortization process.
Other financial liabilities comprise interest bearing loans
and borrowings, trade payables, other payables, income
tax payables and amounts due to related parties.
3.16.3De-recognition
A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on
a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends on
these preference shares are recognized in the statement
of comprehensive income as finance cost.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
Company and the Group have an unconditional right
to defer settlement of the liability for atleast twelve (12)
months after the date of statement of financial position.
Identifiable interest costs on borrowing to finance the
construction of property, plant and equipment are
capitalized during the period of time that is required to
complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.

Defined benefit plan defines an amount of benefit that an
employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent
on one or more factors such as years of service and
compensation. The defined benefit plan comprises the
gratuity provided under the payment of gratuity Act, No
12 of 1983.
The liability recognized in the statement of financial
position in respect of defined benefit plan is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the date of the
statement of financial position together with adjustments
for unrecognized pastservice costs. The defined benefit
obligation is calculated once in two years by independent
actuaries, Messrs Actuarial and Management Consultants
(Private) Limited [Formerly Messrs Watson Wyatt Lanka
(Private) Limited] using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting the estimated future cash
outflows using appropriate interest rates by the actuarial
valuer.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in statement
of comprehensive income, unless the changes to the
defined benefit plan are conditional on the employees
remaining in service for a specified period of time (the
vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The following assumptions based on which the results of
the actuarial valuation was determined, are included in
note 31 to the financial statements.
The key assumptions used by the actuary include the
following:
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such as exchange or modification is treated as
the de-recognition of the original liability. The difference
in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the
3.16.4Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods
or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course
of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified
as current liabilities if payment is due within one (1) year
or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if
longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and other payables are stated at their costs.
3.16.5Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net
of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods,
borrowings are stated at amortized cost using the effective
interest method; any difference between proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized
in the statement of comprehensive income over the
period of the borrowings.
Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to a financial
instrument, or a component part, classified as a liability
is reported within finance cost in the statement of

Where there are number of similar obligations, the
likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement
is determined by considering the class of obligations as a
whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of
an outflow with respect to any one item included in the
same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions for asset retirement obligations are measured
at the present value of the expenditures expected to be
required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase
in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as
finance cost.

3.17.2Defined Contribution Plans
For defined contribution plans, such as Ceylon Plantation
Provident Society (CPPS) / Estate Staff Provident Society
(ESPS), Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees’
Trust Fund (ETF), the Company and the Group contribute
12% or 15% and 3% respectively, of the employees’
basic or consolidated wage or salary. The Company and
the Group have no further payment obligation once the
contributions have been paid. The Company and the
employees are members of these defined contribution
plans.
3.19 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
The Company and the Group do not recognize a
contingent liability but disclose its existence in the
financial statements. A contingent liability is a possible
obligation that arises from past events whose existence
will be confirmed by uncertain future events beyond
the control of the Company and the Group or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in
the extremely rare circumstance where there is a liability
that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured
reliably.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by uncertain
future events beyond the control of the Company and the
Group. The Company and the Group do not recognize a
contingent asset but discloses its existence where inflows
of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually
certain.
In the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group under a
business combination, the contingent liabilities assumed
are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition
date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.
3.17.3Short Term Employee Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses
and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in
which the associated services are rendered by employees
of the Company and the Group.
3.17.4Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s
service is terminated before the normal retirement date or
whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in
exchange for these benefits. The Company and the Group
recognize termination benefits when it is demonstrably
committed to either terminate the employment of current
employees according to a detailed formal plan without
possibility of withdrawal or to provide termination benefits
as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary
redundancy.
3.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company and the
Group have a present legal or constructive obligation
as a result of past events when it is more probable that
3.20 Deferred Revenue
3.20.1Government Grants and Subsidies
Government grants are recognized where there is
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all
attached conditions will be compiled with. When the grant
relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over
the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic
basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where
the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred
46
income and released to income in equal amounts over the
expected useful life of the related asset.
Where the company receives non-monitory grants, the
asset and the grant are recorded gross at nominal amounts
and released to the statement of comprehensive income
over the expected useful life and pattern of consumption
of the benefit of the underlying asset by equal annual
installments. Where loans or similar assistance are
provided by governments or related institutions with an
interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the
effect of this favourable interest is regarded as additional
government grant.
Grants related to property, plant and equipment other
than grants received for biological assets are initially
deferred and allocated to the statement of comprehensive
income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the
related property, plant and equipment.
Assets are amortized over their useful lives or unexpired
lease period, whichever is lower.
Government grant related to the Biological Assets which
are measured at fair value less point sale cost is directly
charged to the carrying value of such assets in accordance
with the applicable financial framework.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance
leases are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the
asset in accordance with the annual rates stated in note
2.4 (c) to the financial statements as mentioned above.
Where there is no reasonable certainty that the ownership
will be transferred to the Company and the Group, the
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or
its estimated useful life.
3.21.2Operating Leases
Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks
and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under
operating leases are charged as an expense to the
statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line
basis over the period of the lease.
3.22 Tax Expense
Income tax expense comprises of current, deferred tax and
other statutory taxes. Income tax expense is recognized in
the statement of comprehensive income except to the
extent that it relates to items recognized directly in the
statement of changes in equity.
a)
Current Tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on
the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date,
and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability
arising from the tax on dividend income.
3.21 Accounting for Leases Where the Company and the
Group are the Lessee
The provision for income tax is based on the elements
of income and expenditure as reported in the Financial
Statements and computed in accordance with the
provisions of the Inland Revenue Act. No 10 of 2006 and
subsequent amendments thereto.
3.21.1Finance Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the
Company and the Group assumes substantially all the
benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance
leases.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior
periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the Commissioner General of
Inland Revenue.
b)
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized
for:
3.20.2Net Income from Operating Rights Given
The net income raised on giving up of operating rights
to Lalan Rubbers (Pvt) Ltd and Walters Bay Tea Estates
(Pvt) Ltd is recognized as income to the statement of
comprehensive income over a period of 42 and 06 years
respectively, which is the period of operating lease in
agreements.
Finance leases are capitalized at the inception of the
lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset
and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and
finance charges so as to achieve a constant periodic rate
of interest on the balance outstanding. The corresponding
rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included
in payables. The interest element of the finance lease
is charged to the statement of comprehensive income
as finance cost over the lease period so as to produce a
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability for each period.
- Temporary differences on the initial recognition
of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not
a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
- Temporary differences related to investments in
subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the
extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in
the foreseeable future; and
47
- Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial
recognition of goodwill.
- Taxable temporary differences arising on subsidiaries,
associates or joint ventures who have not distributed
their entire profits to the parent or investor.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected
to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse,
based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same
tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different
tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities
and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses,
tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will
be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefits will be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The net increase in the carrying amount of deferred tax
liability net of deferred tax asset is recognized as deferred
tax asset is recognized as deferred tax expense and
conversely any net decrease is recognized as reversal to
deferred tax expense, in the statement of comprehensive
income.
c)
Withholding Tax on Dividends
Dividend distributed out of taxable profit of the local
companies attracts a 10% deduction at source and is not
available for set off against the tax liability of the company.
Withholding tax that arises from the distribution of
dividends by the company is recognized at the same time
as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognized.
d)
Sales Taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the
amount of sales tax except for the following;
- Sales tax incurred on a purchase of a assets or services
is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in
which case the sales tax is recognized as part of
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the
expense item as applicable; and
- Receivables and payables that are stated with the
amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority is included as part of other
receivables or other payables in the statement of financial
position.
3.23 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the company, and
the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when
the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the
fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking
into account contractually defined terms of payment and
excluding taxes or duty.
3.23.1Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary
activities is measured at invoice value net of brokerage,
sale expenses and other levies relate to revenue. Revenue is
recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the
form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant
risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to
the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the
associated costs and possible return of goods can be
estimated reliably, there is no continuing management
involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue
can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts
will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably,
then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue
as the sales are recognized.
3.23.2Interest
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest
method. When a loan granted or a receivable is impaired,
the Company and the Group reduces the carrying amount
to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future
cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate
of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount
as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and
receivables are recognized using the original effective
interest rate.
3.23.3Rental Income
Rental income arising from operating leases is recognized
on an accrual basis.
3.23.4Gains and Losses on Disposal
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant
and equipment are determined by comparing the net
sales proceeds with the carrying amounts of property,
plant and equipment and are recognized within ‘other
operating income’ in the statement of comprehensive
income.
3.23.5Other Income
Other income is recognized on an accrual basis.
48
3.23.6Amortization of Government Grants Received
An unconditional government grant related to a biological
asset is recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income as other income when the grant becomes
receivable.
Other government grants are recognized initially as
deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable
assurance that they will be received and the company will
comply with the conditions associated with the grant and
are then recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income as other income on a systematic basis over the
useful life of the asset.
Grants that compensate the company for expenses
incurred are recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income as other income on a systematic basis in the same
periods in which the expenses are recognized.
3.23.7Gains Arising from Changes in Fair Value of Biological
Assets
Gains or losses arising on initial recognition of biological
assets at fair value less estimated point of sale costs
are recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income. Gains or losses arising on change in fair value
due to subsequent measurements are recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income in the period in
which they arise.
3.23.8Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income on the date the entity’s right to
receive payment is established.
3.24 Expenditure Recognition
Expenses are recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income on the basis of a direct association
between the cost incurred and the earning of specific
items of income. All expenditure incurred in the running
of the business and in maintaining the property, plant and
equipment in a state of efficiency has been charged to
income in arriving at the profit/ (Loss) for the year.
For the purpose of presentation of the statement of
comprehensive income the Directors are of the opinion
that function of expenses method presents fairly the
elements of the Company’s performance, and hence such
presentation method is adopted.
3.25 Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per
share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is
determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares
held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares,
which comprise convertible notes and share options
granted to employees.
3.26 Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted
to conform with changes in presentation in the current
year.
3.27 Related Party Disclosures
3.27.1Transactions with Related Parties
The company carries out transactions in the ordinary
course of its business with parties who are defined as
related parties in Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 24. The
Pricing applicable to such transactions is based on the
assessment of the risk and pricing model of the company
and is comparable with what is applied to transactions
between the company and its unrelated customers.
3.27.2Transactions with Key Management Personnel
According to Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 24 “Related
Party Disclosures”, Key management personnel, are those
having authority and responsibility for planning, directing
and controlling the activities of the entity. Accordingly, the
board of directors (including executive and non-executive
directors), personnel hold designation of General Manager
and above positions and their immediate family members
have been classified as Key Management Personnel of the
company.
The immediate family member is defined as spouse or
dependent. Dependent is defined as anyone who depends
on the respective Director for more than 50% of his/her
financial needs.
3.28 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who
is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been
identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic
decisions.
Accordingly, the segment comprises of tea, rubber
and others as described in the note 47 to the financial
statements.
Revenue and expenses directly attributable to each
segment are allocated to the respective segments.
Revenue and expenses not directly attributable to a
segment are allocated on the basis of their resource
utilization, wherever possible.
49
Assets and liabilities directly attributable to each segment
are allocated to the respective segments. Assets and
liabilities, which are not directly attributable to a segment,
are allocated on a reasonable basis wherever possible.
Unallocated items comprise mainly interest bearing
borrowings, finance lease liability to government and
expenses.
Segment capital expenditures are the total cost incurred
during the period to acquire segment assets that are
expected to be used for more than one accounting period.
4.1
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group’s component BPL Teas (Pvt) Ltd operates
internationally and are exposed to foreign exchange risk
arising from various currency exposures, primarily with
respect to the US Dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises
when future commercial transactions or recognized assets
or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the
entity’s functional currency.
4.2
Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk
The Company and the Group has cash and bank balances
including deposits placed with creditworthy licensed
banks and financial institutions. The Company and the
Group manage its interest rate risk by actively monitoring
the yield curve trend and interest rate movement for the
various cash and bank balances.
3.29 Events after the Reporting Date
All material events after the reporting date have been
considered and where appropriate adjustments or
disclosures have been made in the respective notes to the
financial statements.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial Risk Factors
The Company’s and the Group’s activities exposed to
variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency
risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk
and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company’s and the Group’s overall financial risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential
adverse effects on the financial performance of the
Company and the Group. Financial risk management is
carried out through risk reviews, internal control systems,
insurance programmes and adherence to the Company’s
and the Group’s financial risk management policies.
The Board of Directors regularly reviews these risks and
approves the risk management policies, which covers the
management of these risks.
Market risk consists of:
- Foreign currency exchange risk - risk that the value of
a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in
foreign exchange rates.
- Price risk - risk that the value of a financial instrument
will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices,
whether those changes are caused by factors specific
to the individual instrument or its issuer or factors
affecting all instrument traded in the market.
Liquidity risk (funding risk) - risk that an entity will
encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments
associated with financial instruments.
The Company’s and the Group’s borrowings comprise
borrowings from financial and non-financial institutions
and Debentures. The Company’s and the Group’s interest
rate risk objective is to manage an acceptable level of rate
fluctuation on the interest expense. In order to achieve
this objective, the Company and the Group target a
composition of fixed and floating borrowings based on
assessment of its existing exposure and desirable interest
rate profile. The Company and the Group analyses its
interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis.
4.3
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on Company and the Group
basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents,
derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks
and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to
customers, including outstanding receivables (net of
deposits held). Individual risk limits are set, based on
internal or external ratings. The utilization of credit limits
is regularly monitored.
The Company and the Group place its cash and cash
equivalents with a number of creditworthy financial
institutions. The Company’s and the Group’s policy limits
the concentration of financial exposure to any single
financial institution. The maximum credit risk exposure
of the financial assets of the Company and the Group are
approximately their carrying amounts as at the date of the
statement of financial position.
- Fair value interest rate risk - risk that the value of a
financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in
market interest rates.
- Cash flow interest rate risk - risk that future cash flows
associated with a financial instrument will fluctuate.
In the case of a floating rate debt instrument, such
fluctuations. Result in a change in the effective
interest rate of the financial instrument, usually
without a corresponding change in its fair value.
Credit risk - risk that one party to a financial instrument will
fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to
incur a financial loss.
50
4.4
Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining
sufficient liquid funds to meet its financial obligations.
In the management of liquidity risk, the Company and
the Group monitor and maintain a level of cash and cash
equivalents deemed adequate by the management to
finance the Company’s and the Group’s operations and
to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Due
to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the
Company and the Group aim at maintaining flexibility in
funding by keeping both committed and uncommitted
credit lines available.
The table below analyses the Group’s and the Company’s
non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity
groupings based on the remaining period at the date
of the statement of financial position to the contractual
maturity date.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT RISK
The primary objective of the Company’s and the Group’s
capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong
credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support
its business and maximize shareholder value.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Company and
the Group monitor capital on the basis of the gearing ratio.
This ratio is calculated as total borrowings by total equity.
Total borrowings including non-current and current
borrowings as shown in the statements of financial
position. Total equity is calculated as ‘Total equity’ in the
statements of financial position.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
6.1
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The Company and the Group make estimates and
assumptions concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the
related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are addressed below:
6.1.1 Estimated Useful Lives of Property, Plant and
Equipment
The Company and the Group reviews annually the
estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
based on factors such as business plan and strategies,
expected level of usage and future technological
developments. Future results of operations could be
materially affected by changes in these estimates brought
about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction
in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and
equipment would increase the recorded depreciation
charge and decrease the property, plant and equipment
carrying value.
6.1.2 Taxation
i. Income Taxes
Judgement is involved in determining the Company and
the Group provision for income taxes. There are certain
transactions and computations for which the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course
of business. The Company and the Group recognize
liabilities for tax matters based on estimates of whether
additional taxes will be due. If the final outcome of these
tax matters result in a difference in the amounts initially
recognized, such differences will impact the income tax
and/or deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.
ii.Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which temporary differences can be utilised. This involves
judgement regarding future financial performance of a
particular entity in which the deferred tax asset has been
recognized.
6.1.3 Fair Valuation of Consumable Biological Assets-Timber
The fair value of timber trees are measured using DCF
method taking into consideration the available log and
tree prices in city centers less point-of-sale-costs applied
to expected timber content of a tree at the maturity
and changes in fair value reflected in the statement of
6.1.4 Fair Value of Derivatives and Other Financial
Instruments
Certain financial instruments such as investments,
derivative financial instruments and certain elements
of borrowings are carried on the statement of financial
position at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected
in the statement of comprehensive income.
Fair values are estimated by reference in part to
published price quotations and in part by using valuation
techniques. The fair value of financial instruments that
are not traded in an active market is determined by using
valuation techniques. The Company and the Group use
its judgement to select a variety of methods and make
assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions
existing at the end of each financial reporting period.
6.1.5 Impairment of Non-Current Assets
The Company and the Group test annually the indicators
to ascertain whether non-current assets (including
intangibles) have suffered any impairment, in accordance
with the accounting policy stated in note 3.10. These
calculations require the use of estimates.
6.1.6 Defined Benefit Plan - Gratuity
The present value of the defined benefit plan depends on
a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial
basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions
used in determining the net cost (income) for defined
benefit plan include the discount rate, future salary
increase rate, mortality rate, withdrawal and disability rates
and retirement age. Any changes in these assumptions
will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit plan.
The Company and the Group determine the appropriate
discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest
rate that should be used to determine the present value of
estimated future cash outflows, expected to be required
to settle the defined benefit plan. In determining the
appropriate discount rate, the Company and the Group
consider the interest yield of long term government

bonds that are denominated in the currency in which
the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity
approximating the terms of the related defined benefit
plan. Other key assumptions for defined benefit plan are
based in part on current market conditions (Note 3.17.1).
6.1.7 Provisions
The Company and the Group recognize provisions when
they have a present legal or constructive obligation
arising as a result of a past event, and it is probable that
an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made.
The recording of provisions requires the application
of judgements about the ultimate resolution of these
obligations. As a result, provisions are reviewed at each
statement of financial position date and adjusted to reflect
the Company’s and the Group’s current best estimate.
6.1.8 Contingent Liabilities
Determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities
in the financial statements is based on the management’s
view of the expected outcome of the applicable
contingency. The Company and the Group consult with
legal counsel on matters related to litigation and other
experts both within and outside the Company and the
Group with respect to matters in the ordinary course of
business.
6.1.9 Impairment of Trade Receivables
The Company and the Group assesses at the date
of statement of financial position whether there is
objective evidence that trade receivables have been
impaired. Impairment loss is calculated based on a
review of the current status of existing receivables and
historical collections experience. Such provisions are
adjusted periodically to reflect the actual and anticipated
impairment.

16. RIGHT TO USE OF LAND - (GROUP/COMPANY)
“JEDB/SLSPC Estates allocated to the Company have been handed over to, and are being operated by the Company. Lease
deeds of all estates have been executed. All leases signed are retroactive to 22nd June,1992, the date of formation of the
Company. The leasehold rights to use of bare land on all Estates have been taken into the books of the Company on 22nd
June,1992 immediately after the formation of the Company in terms of the ruling on this matter obtained from the Urgent
Issue Task Force (UITF) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka. For this purpose, the Board decided at its meeting
on 8th March,1995 that the values attached to the right to use land would be those determined by Valuation Specialist,
Mr.D.R.Wickramasinghe just prior to the formation of the Company. The valuation report referred to above was not subjected
to a land survey. “
However, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka has withdrawn the UITF ruling with the implementation of LKAS/
SLFRS and introduced Statement of Recommended Practice (SoRP) on Leasehold Land on 19th December, 2012. Subsequently,
amendments to the SoRP along with the modification to the title as Statement of Alternative Treatment (SoAT) were approved
by the council on 21st August, 2013. As per the SoRT, right to use of land on lease does not permit further revaluation.

21.2The biological assets, Eucalyptus Grandis Mature and Immature Timber Trees of the company were inspected and valued by
M/S. Ariyatileka & Co (Pvt) Ltd., independent Chartered Valuers (UK) as at 31st March, 2014. Based on this Valuation Report,
the Directors of the company have valued the Eucalyptus Grandis Tree Plantation as at the date of the statement of financial
position after making adjustments for risk at individual fields to reflect the requirement of the Sri Lanka Accounting Standards.
Accordingly, Directors of the company have determined the fair value of these trees as Rs.522,895,259/-.
Eucalyptus Grandis Timber Trees are measured at the directors’ assessment of their value at each reporting date. The fair value
is determined as being the net present value of expected future cash flows (discounted at a risk adjusted rate) Significant
assumption used are, as follows:
a) Trees will reach maturity, 20 years after planting and further 40% of the existing inventory of trees will be thinned out during
the next 02 to 05 years with clear fell at 20 years.
b) Trees have been valued as per the current timber prices in the domestic market based on the price list of the State Timber
Corporation and prices of timber trees sold by Estates and prices of logs and sawn timber in the popular timber traders in
Sri Lanka.
c)
Timber yields have been adjusted to reflect volumes as reported by independent valuers contracted by the company.
Plantations have been independently inspected by the valuers and assessed in order to make this determination.
d) Future cash flows are determined by references to current timber prices without considering the inflationary effect.
e) The ongoing costs of growing the trees which are deducted in determining the net cash flows are constant in real terms.
f)
A discounting rate of 13% per annum is applied to the estimated cash flows. The rate was determined having regard to the
followings:
(i) New “Forestry Master Plan” (FMP) of the company for the period of 2014/2018 was completed and new inventories of
estate levels were completed. The “FMP” was approved by the Director of Plantation Management Monitoring Division
and the Conservator General of Forest in June, 2014. The valuation of Consumable Biological Asset was done based on
the figures of this approved FMP and all the risk factors with respect to the number of trees, species selection…etc. were
reduced to minimum residue level to have a better estimate of the valuation.
(ii) The weighted average long term bond rate
(iii) The adjusted risk premium by considering,
- Specific provision made in the “FMP” and the valuation schedule
- The illiquid nature of the plantations prior to maturity.
- A lack of market evidence as to the value of biological assets through their life cycle.
- Risk relations to diseases and fire affecting the Biological Assets
- Adoption of conservative valuation approach
g) Biological Assets at Initial Stage
The company has separately identified biological assets at their initial stage (that is Eucalyptus Grandis below 5 years from the
date of planting) and has valued at cost less accumulated depreciation due to the fact that the fair value of those assets cannot
be measured reliably.

21.3 Potential Risks- Timber Plantations
The Company is Exposed to following Risks in Relation to Timber Plantations
a)
Supply and Demand Risk
The company is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in the price and sales volume of timber. When possible, the
company manages this risk by aligning its harvest volume to market supply and demand. Management performs regular
industry trend analyses to ensure that the company’s pricing structure is in line with the market and to ensure that projected
harvest volumes are consistent with the expected demand.
b)
Regulatory and Environmental Risks
The company is subject to laws and regulations in Sri Lanka. The company has established environmental policies and
procedures aimed at compliance with local environmental and other laws. Management performs regular reviews to identify
environmental risks and to ensure that the systems in place are adequate to manage those risks.
c)
Climate and Other Risks
The Company’s timber plantations are exposed to the risk of damage from climatic changes, diseases, forest fires and other
natural forces. The company has extensive processes in place aimed at monitoring and mitigating those risks, including
regular forest health inspections and industry pest and disease surveys. The company also insures itself against natural
disasters such as floods, Land slides and hurricanes.
21.4 Sensitivity Analysis
21.4.1Sensitivity Variation on Sales Price
Net present value of the biological assets as appearing in the Statement of Financial Position are very sensitive to the changes
into the average sales prices applied. Simulations made for timber show that an increase or decrease by 10% of the estimated
future selling price other variables are remained unchanged, has the following effect on the net present value of biological
assets:

23.1.1Impairment of Investments in Subsidiaries
a)The recoverable amount of the investment made in BPL Teas (Pvt) Ltd., was less than the carrying amount of investment of
Rs.126,600,000/- and as such the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of Rs.94,950,000/has been recognized in the financial statements as impairment loss in year 2008/2009. Since BPL Teas (Pvt) Ltd (subsidiary)
has made a profit (net of tax) during the year and previous year amounting to Rs.42,388,646/- and Rs.63,737,492/-, respectively, and net asset position has been improved in past 3 years, board of directors has decided to reverse the impairment
provision made upto 50% of the total investment. Accordingly impairment provision of Rs. 31,650,000/- has been reversed
to the statement of comprehensive income during the year.
b)The following assumptions have been made when determining the recoverable amount:
i. The business activities of BPL Teas (Pvt) Ltd., will be drastically improved in the near future.
ii. Impairment is assumed to be limited to 75% of the investment made.

Interest cost and actuarial gain/loss could not be estimated in previous year as actuarial valuation or estimation of the gratuity
liability of the company has not been done as at 31st March, 2012.
31.2Provision for gratuity for the financial year 2013/2014 has been determined based on the latest actuarial valuation report issued
on 29/05/2014 which was done by Actuarial & Management Consultants (Pvt) Ltd. The provision in respect of gratuity liabilities
of existing employees as at 31st March, 2014 is Rs.677,486,884/- (company). If the company had provided for gratuity on the
basis of fourteen days wages and half month salary for each completed years of service in line with the payment of Gratuities
Act No. 12 of 1983, the liability would have been Rs. 925,281,165/-. Hence, there is a contingent liability of Rs.247,794,281/which would crystallize only if the Group ceases to be a going concern.
31.3The key assumptions used by the actuary are disclosed in the note 3.17.1 to the financial statements.
31.4Sensitivity Analysis
In order to illustrate the significance of the salary/wage escalation and discount rate used in the actuarial valuation as at 31st
March, 2014, sensitivity analysis has been carried out as follows:
Present Value of Defined
Discount Rate
Salary Escalation Rate
Benefit Obligation (Rs.)
1% Increase
As given in the report
627,410,924
1% Decrease
735,129,226
1% Increase
705,890,608
1% Decrease
650,775,547
31.5Even though the group policy for recognizing the gratuity provision is the actuarial valuation, BPL Teas (Pvt) Ltd (Subsidiary)
has not adopted the group policy and provision for gratuity has been calculated based on the formula method. However, the
effect for not applying the actuarial valuation (subsidiary) is not material to the group as at the date of the statement of financial
position.
