Independent Auditor’s Report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PRIME LANDS RESIDENCIES PLC
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Prime Lands Residencies PLC (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31st March 2021, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies as set out on pages 95 to 132.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31st March 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Sri Lanka Auditing Standards (SLAuSs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by CA Sri Lanka (Code of Ethics) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters
that, in our professional judgment, were of the most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matters
Measurement of Inventory Properties
As disclosed in Note: 15 to the Financial Statements, the Company’s Inventory Properties including work in progress and completed apartments for sale amounted to Rs. 11,086,722,148/- as at 31st March 2021. Inventory Properties account for 85% of the Company’s total assets and are measured at the lower of cost and Net Realisable Value (NRV).
Measurement of Inventory Properties was considered as a Key Audit Matter due to the following factors;
- Inventory properties are significant and determining cost of sales relating to revenue recognized and carrying value involves complex calculations.
- Estimates and assumptions are applied in determining the carrying amount and Net Realisable Value which is impacted by volatile market and economic conditions.
The disclosures associated with measurement of Inventory Properties are set out in the financial statements in the following notes:
- Note 3.8 – Significant accounting policies: Inventory Properties
- Note 15 – Inventory Properties
Measurement of Inventory Properties
In establishing whether the Inventory Properties – work in progress and completed apartments for sale were stated at the lower of cost and NRV, our procedures included the following:
- We evaluated and tested the management’s process in estimating the future costs to completion of the Inventory Properties – work in progress, on a sample basis, by comparing them to the actual development cost of similar completed properties of the Company;
- We test-checked the appropriateness of the NRV of the Inventory Properties – work in progress and completed apartments for sale, by comparing the NRV to market prices achieved in the same projects or comparable properties and our knowledge of the Company’s business; and We assessed the appropriateness of amount recognised in cost of sales relevant to revenue, performing re- computation tests on cost of sales transfers.
- We also assessed the adequacy of the related financial statement disclosures.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise whether it appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines, is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SLAuSs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SLAuSs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures, are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with ethical requirements in accordance with the Code of Ethics regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
As required by section 163 (2) of the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007, we have obtained all the information and explanations that were required for the audit and, as far as appears from our examination, proper accounting records have been kept by the Company.
CA Sri Lanka membership number of the engagement partner responsible for signing this independent auditor’s report is 3890.

Items included in these financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency), which is the Sri Lanka Rupee.
These financial statements are presented in Sri Lanka Rupees (Rs.). All financial information presented have been rounded to the nearest rupee except where it is otherwise indicated as permitted by the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard – LKAS 01 on “Presentation of Financial Statements”.2.6 Materiality and aggregation
Each material class of similar item is presented separately in the financial statements. Items of dissimilar nature or function are presented separately unless they are immaterial as permitted by the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard – LKAS 01 on ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ and amendments to the LKAS 1 on ‘Disclosure Initiative’ which was effective from January 01, 2016
Notes to the financial statements are presented in a systematic manner which ensures the understandability and comparability of financial statements of the Company. Understandability of the financial statements is not compromised by obscuring material information with immaterial information or by aggregating material items that have different nature or function.
2.7 Off-setting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position, only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Income and expenses are not offset in the income statement, unless required or permitted by Sri Lanka Accounting Standard and as specially disclosed in the Significant Accounting Policies of the Company.
2.8 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Financial Statements of the Company in conformity with SLFRS/LKAS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, which may affect the amounts of income, expenditure, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, key assumptions were made relating to the future and the sources of estimation at the reporting date together with the related judgments that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Accounting judgments, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgments, estimates and assumptions in applying the accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are included in the following notes to these financial statements.
| Critical accounting estimate / judgement | Disclosure note |
|---|---|
| Going concern | 2.9 |
| Fair value of financial instruments | 3.2.10 |
| Useful life of property, plant and equipment | 3.3.3 |
| Useful life of intangible assets | 3.5.1 |
| Retirement benefit obligations | 3.11.2 |
| Impairment losses on financial assets | 3.2.6 |
| Provision for liabilities, commitment and contingencies | 3.18 |
| Net realizable value of inventory | 3.8 |
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic
The evolving COVID – 19 pandemic and its implications have increased the uncertainty of estimates made in preparation of the Financial Statements. The estimation uncertainty is associated with:
- the extent and duration of the disruption to businesses arising from the on-going pandemic and the related actions of stakeholders such as government, businesses, and customers.
- the extent and duration of the expected economic downturn due to impact on GDP, capital markets, credit risk of customers, impact of unemployment and possible decline in consumer discretionary spending.
- the effectiveness of Government and Central Bank measures that have been put in place to support the businesses through this disruption and economic downturn.
The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are related to expected credit losses and recoverable amount assessments of non-financial assets, recoverable value of property, plant and equipment and net realizable value of inventory.
The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on accounting estimates is discussed under the relevant notes to these Financial Statements.
2.9 Going concern
The Board of Directors of the Company evaluated the appropriateness of using the going concern assumption in preparing the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2021 based on the available information. In this exercise, the Board evaluated a number of scenarios prepared by the management under different assumptions which took into account the existing and anticipated effects of COVID-19 on the Company.
When preparing the Financial Statements based on the available information, the management has assessed the impact of COVID 19 and the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis. The Board of Prime Lands Residencies PLC is satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue operations without any disruption for the foreseeable future, and therefore preparing and presenting these Financial Statements on a going concern basis.
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below.
3.1 Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency, the Sri Lanka Rupee (Rs.), at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are re-translated to the functional currency at the spot rate of exchange at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are re-translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising on re- translation are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
3.2 Financial instruments
3.2.1 Initial recognition, classification and subsequent measurement
Date of recognition
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes “regular way trades”: purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.
Initial measurement of financial instruments
The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the purpose and the management’s intention for which the financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss.
3.2.2 Classification and subsequent measurement of financial instruments
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”).
A debt instrument is measured at FVTOCI only if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets.
- Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment by investment basis. All other financial assets are classified as measured at FVTPL.
In addition, on initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Business model assessment
The Company makes an assessment of the objective of a business model in which an asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to Management.
The information considered includes:
- The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. In particular, whether Management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest revenue, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of the liabilities that are funding those assets or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;
- How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’s Management;
- The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and its strategy for how those risks are managed;
- How managers of the business are compensated (e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected); and
- The frequency, volume and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and its expectations about future sales activity. However, information about sales activity is not considered in isolation, but as part of an overall assessment of how the Company’s stated objective for managing the financial assets is achieved and how cash flows are realized.
Financial assets that are held for trading or managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL because they are neither held to collect contractual cash flows nor held both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets.
Financial assets - assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows as such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
- Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
- Terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
- Prepayment and extension features; and
- Terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual paramount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Financial assets at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On de- recognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are re-classified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend is recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never re-classified to profit or loss.
3.2.3 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified appropriately as financial assets recognised through profit or loss, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost.
All the financial assets are recognised at fair value at its initial recognition.
Financial assets measured at - fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and subsequent therein are recognised in Profit or Loss.
Following assets represent financial assets at fair value though profit or loss,
- Investment in quoted shares
Amortised cost
A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost of the Company comprise the followings,
- Investment in debentures
- Other receivables
- Cash and Cash equivalents
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) are non-derivative financial assets that are designated FVTOCI and that are not classified in any of the previous categories of financial assets. FVTOCI are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the fair value reserve. When an investment in debt instrument is de-recognised, the cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss.Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash at banks and other highly liquid financial assets which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments with original maturities of less than three months which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
3.2.4 Financial liabilities
The Company initially recognises debt securities and borrowings on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
The Company de-recognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus
any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities comprise;
- Interest bearing borrowings
- Lease liabilities
- Other payables
- Amount due to related party
- Amount due to directors
- Bank overdraft
Recognition and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company classifies financial liabilities, other than financial guarantees and loan commitments, into one of the following categories:
- Financial liabilities at amortised cost; and
- Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
A financial liability is measured initially at fair value plus, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. Subsequent measurement of financial liability is at fair value or amortised cost. The amortised cost of a financial liability is the amount at which the financial liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount.
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities issued by the Company that are not designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs, by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest rate amortisation is included in “Interest Expense” in the statement of profit or loss. Gains and losses too are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are de- recognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortization process.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include derivative liabilities held for risk management purposes.
3.2.5 Re-classification of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets are not re-classified subsequent to their initial recognition, except and only in those rare circumstances when the Company changes its objective of the business model for managing such financial assets. Financial liabilities are not re-classified as such re-classifications are not permitted by SLFRS 9.
3.2.6 Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company, at each reporting date measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition.
For trade and other receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
3.2.7 De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is de-recognized when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset
or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement; and either: - The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
- The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass– through arrangement and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where 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 an exchange or modification is treated as de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
3.2.8 Off-setting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
3.2.9 Amortised cost measurement
The amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount recognised and the maturity amount, minus any reduction for impairment.
3.2.10 Fair value measurement
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using the appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using the recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models. An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details as to how they are measured are provided in the notes.
3.3 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used during more than one period.
3.3.1 Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.
If significant parts of an item of property or equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised within other income in profit or loss.
3.3.2 Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits of the expenditure will flow to the Company. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
3.3.3 Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Type of assets | Year |
|---|---|
| Computer and equipment | 05 years |
| Motor vehicle | 04 years |
| Office equipment | 04 years |
| Plant and machinery | 04 years |
| Furniture and fittings | 04 years |
The assets’ useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last annual reporting date.
3.3.4 De-recognition
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is de- recognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is de-recognised.
When replacement costs are recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the remaining carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised.
3.4 Right-of-use assets
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
Policy applicable from 01st April 2019
At the inception of a contract, the Company assess to ascertain whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for an year of time in exchange for a consideration.
To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in SLFRS 16.
As a lessee
At the commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from debt financing arrangements at the inception of the lease period.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate.
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
The Company elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for lease of low value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on the straight-line basis.
As a lessor
At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of “other income”.
Generally, the accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor in the comparative year are not different from SLFRS 16.
Policy applicable before 01st April 2019
For contracts entered into prior to 01st April 2019, the Company determined whether the arrangement was or contained a lease based on the assessment of whether;
- Fulfilment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and;
- The arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset
3.5 Intangible assets
3.5.1 Software
Software acquired by the Company is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over its estimated useful life, from the date on which it is available for use. The estimated useful life of software is 10 years.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.3.6 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any indication exists, or when the annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or a group of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining the fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are collaborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset, except for property previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to equity. In this case the impairment is also recognized in equity up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
For assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
3.7 Investment property
3.7.1 Basis of recognition
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, used in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
3.7.2 Basis of measurement
Fair value model
Investment properties are initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the investment properties are stated using the fair value model.
3.7.3 De-Recognition
Investment properties are de-recognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the year of retirement or disposal.
3.7.4 Subsequent transfers to / from investment property
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by the end of owner occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or completion of construction or development.
Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by the commencement of owner occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale.
For a transfer from investment property to owner occupied property or inventories, the deemed cost of property for subsequent accounting is its fair value. If the property occupied by the Company as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Company, accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
3.8 Inventory property – Apartments
Property acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation, and completed properties are shown as inventories and measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost includes:
- Freehold and leasehold rights for land
- Amounts paid to contractors for construction
- Planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs
Non-refundable commissions paid to sales or marketing agents on the sale of real estate units are expensed when paid.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based on market prices at the reporting date and discounted for the time value of money if material, less costs to completion and the estimated costs of sale. The cost of inventory recognized in profit or loss on disposal is determined with reference to the costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of costs based on the gross floor area of the property developed.3.9 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
3.10 Other liabilities
Other liabilities are recorded at amounts expected to be payable at the reporting date.
3.11 Employee benefits
3.11.1 Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a post- employment plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay a further amount. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense in the profit or loss as and when they are due.
Employees’ provident fund
The Company and employee contribute 12% and 8% respectively on the salary of each employee to an approved Provident Fund.
Employees’ trust fund
The Company contributes 3% of the salary of each employee to the Employees’ Trust Fund maintained by the Employees Trust Fund Board.
3.11.2 Defined Benefit Plans
A defined benefit plan is a post- employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.
Gratuity
Gratuity is a Defined Benefit Plan. 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 statement of financial position date. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries, using projected unit credit method, as recommended by LKAS 19 employee benefit. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates that apply to the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related liability. The assumptions based on which the results of the actuarial valuation were determined are included in the note 22 to the financial statements. This liability is not externally funded and the item is grouped under non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income and expenses related to defined benefit plans in staff expenses in the statement of profit or loss.
According to the payment of the Gratuity Act No.12 of 1983, the liability for gratuity payment to an employee arises only after the completion of 5 years of continued service.
3.11.3 Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
3.12 Revenue and income
3.12.1 SLFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company is in the business of real estate and providing related services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Timing of transferring the goods and services to the customer is determined based on judgments taking into consideration of the nature of the goods and services that offers to the customers.
The following specific criteria are used for the purpose of recognition of revenue:
Sale of property
The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell properties that are either completed or under development.
Revenue recognized at a point in time
The sale of completed property is generally expected to be the single performance obligation and the Company has determined that it will be satisfied at the point in time when the control is transferred. For unconditional exchange of contracts, this is generally expected to be when legal title is transferred to the customer. For conditional exchanges, this is expected to be when all significant conditions are satisfied. The determination of transfer of control for both unconditional and conditional exchanges are not expected to change upon the adoption of SLFRS 15.
Revenue recognized over time
For contracts relating to the sale of properties under development, the Company is responsible for the overall management of the project and identifies various goods and services to be provided, including design work, procurement of materials, site preparation and foundation pouring, framing and plastering, mechanical and electrical work, installation of fixtures and finishing work. In such contracts, the Company has determined that the goods and services are not distinct and will generally account for them as a single performance obligation. Depending on the terms of each contract, the Company will determine whether control is transferred at a point in time or over time:
For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company recognizes the revenue over time by measuring the progress towards a complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. For sale of properties under development, the Company expects to continue recognizing revenue over time because it expects that control will be transferred over time. Generally, its performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the Company and the Company has concluded that it has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. As a result, no material adjustment is expected on transition to SLFRS 15 for those contracts currently recognized over time.
3.12.1 SLFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers
- Legal fee income represents the fee that the Company charges from its clients when they agree to transfer the deeds by taking the legal services provided by Prime Lands Residencies PLC instead of obtaining legal services to transfer deeds from the outside professionals. All income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the year.
- Interest income is recognized as it accrues. Interest income is included under finance income in the statement of comprehensive income.
3.13 Expenses recognition
Expenses are recognised 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 have been charged to income in arriving at the profit for the year.
For the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income, the directors are of the opinion that the nature of the expenses method present fairly the element of the Company’s performance, and hence, such presentation method is adopted.
3.14 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs and borrowing costs incurred after the completion of the underlying construction are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
3.15 Tax expenses
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
Income tax provisions for the year ended 31st March 2021 have been made as per the provision of the Inland Revenue Act No. 24 of 2017 and the amendments thereto.
3.15.1 Current tax expense
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Current tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
3.15.2 Uncertainty over income tax treatments
The Company has accounted for the uncertainty over tax treatments under IFRIC 23. An ‘Uncertain Tax Treatment’ is a tax treatment for which there is uncertainty over whether the relevant taxation authority will accept the tax treatment under tax law. If it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, effect of uncertainty shall be reflected in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates. The effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment shall be reflected by using either of the most likely amount or the expected value methods, depending on which method the Company expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty.
3.15.3 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:
- 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
- Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
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 the 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 the 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 benefit 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 expense and conversely any net decrease is recognized as reversal to deferred tax expense, in the statement of comprehensive income.
3.16 Stated capital
Stated capital consists solely of ordinary share capital. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares other than on a business combination, are shown as a deduction, net of tax, in equity from the proceeds.
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
3.17 Earnings per share (EPS)
The Company presents Basic 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 year.
3.18 Contingent liabilities and commitments
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events or present obligations where the transfer of economic benefit is not probable or cannot be readily measured as defined in the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard- LKAS 37 on ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’. Contingent Liabilities are not recognized in the statement of financial position but are disclosed unless its occurrence is remote.
Details of the commitments and contingencies are given in note 30 to the financial statements.
3.19 Statement of cash flows
The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared using the “Indirect Method” of preparing Cash Flows in accordance with the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard – (LKAS 7) “Statement of Cash Flows”. Cash and cash equivalents comprise short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
3.20 Events after reporting period
Events after the reporting period are those events, favorable and unfavorable, that occur between the reporting date and the date the Financial Statements are authorised for issue.
All material and important events that occurred after the reporting date have been considered and appropriate disclosures are made in Note 35 to the Financial Statements.
3.21 Comparative information
Comparative information including quantitative, narrative and descriptive information is disclosed in respect of the previous year in the Financial Statements in order to enhance the understanding of the current year’s Financial Statements and to enhance the inter period comparability. The presentation and classification of the Financial Statements of the previous year are amended where relevant, for better presentation and to be comparable with those of the current year.
The Company remeasured and adjusted certain financial statement line items as disclosed in Note 3.23, on adoption of SLFRS/LKAS for the first time during the year.
3.22 New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below.
The Company intends to adopt this amended standard and interpretation, if applicable, when it becomes effective.
Amendments to SLFRS 16 - COVID – 19 Related Rent Concessions
As a result of the COVID19 pandemic, rent concessions have been granted to lessees. Such concessions might take a variety of forms, including payment holidays and deferral of lease payments. According to the amendment to SLFRS 16 Leases, the lessees are provided with an option to treat qualifying rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. In many cases, this will result in accounting for the concessions as variable lease payments in the period in which they are granted. Entities applying the practical expedients must disclose this fact, whether the expedient has been applied to all qualifying rent concessions or, if not, information about the nature of the contracts to which it has been applied, as well as the amount recognized in profit or loss arising from the rent concessions.
The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 June 2020.
3.23 First-time adoption of SLFRS/ LKAS
These financial statements, for the year ended 31st March 2021, are the first set of financial statements, the Company has prepared in accordance with SLFRS/ LKAS. For year up to and including the year ended 31st March, 2020, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with SLFRS for SMEs.
Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with SLFRS/LKAS applicable for the year ended on 31st March 2021, together with the comparative year data as at and for the year ended 31st March 2020, as described in the accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Company’s opening statement of financial position was prepared as at 01st April 2019, the Company’s date of transition to SLFRS/ LKAS.

| Messrs. Actuarial and Management Consultants (Pvt) Ltd, Actuaries, carried out an actuarial valuation of the retirement benefit obligation for Prime Lands Residencies PLC as at 31st March 2021. The valuation method used by the Actuary to value the liability is the ‘Projected Unit Credit Actuarial Cost Method’ recommended by LKAS 19. Appropriate and compatible assumptions were used in determining the cost of retirement benefits. The principal assumptions used are as follows: | |||
| Actuarial assumptions | 31.03.2021 | 31.03.2020 | |
| Discount rate | 8% | 11% | |
| Salary increment rate | 6% | 10% | |
| Staff turnover | 10% | 10% | |
| Retirement age | 55 years | 60 years | |
| Mortality | A 1967/70 Mortality Table (Institute of Actuaries, London) | ||
| The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the key assumptions employed with all other variables held constant in the employment benefit liability measurement. The sensitivity of the statement of financial position is the effect of the assumed changes in discount rate and salary increment rate on the profit or loss and employment benefit obligation for the year. | ||||

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments :
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
- Market risk
This note represents qualitative and quantitative information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and procedures for measuring and managing risk and the Company’s management of capital. Further, quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.
Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has the overall responsibilities for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risk faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risk and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect the changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.
36.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s receivables and deposits with banks.
Management of credit risk includes the following components.
The Company does an extensive and continuous evaluation of credit worthiness of its customers / financial institutions by assessing external credit ratings (if available) or historical information about default rates and change the credit limits and payment terms where necessary.
Analysis of credit quality – Maximum exposure to credit risk by class of financial assets
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| As at 31.03.2021 Rs. | As at 31.03.2020 Rs. |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at amortized cost | 352,939,048 | 270,194,898 | |
| Financial assets - FVTPL | 195,000 | 180,000 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 376,799,448 | 172,541,712 |
36.2 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial assets.
Management of liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed condition, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damages to the Company’s reputation.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities of the Company;
| Carrying amount Rs | Contractual amount Rs. | Less than 01 year Rs. | More than 01 year Rs. |

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis amounts.
36.3 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rate, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to currency risk on investments in unquoted debentures which are denominated in Australian Dollars (AUD).
The Sri Lankan Rupee witnessed a depreciation against major currencies in the backdrop of economic turmoil in global, regional and local markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company managed this risk with prudent foreign currency risk management practices in dealing with transactions denominated in foreign currencies.Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations and investments with floating interest rates.
The evolving COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in consecutive reductions in policy rates and monetary easing policies by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka to encourage banks and finance companies to reduce lending rates.
At the end of the reporting period, the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Company was as follows;| As at 31.03.2021 Rs. | As at 31.03.2020 Rs. |

36.4 Capital Management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of stated capital and reserves of the Company. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which the Company defines as a result from operating activities divided by total shareholders’ equity. The Board of Directors also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Company’s debt to adjusted capital ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
| As at 31.03.2021 Rs. | As at 31.03.2020 Rs. |
