Explanatory Notes :

  1. The interim financial statements are subject to audit.
  2. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in interim financial statements as compared with the most recent audited financial statements.
  3. The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with LKAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.
  4. Where items have been regrouped, comparative information in relation to previous year have been presented in line with information pertaining to the current period.
  5. Two of our investee companies in Bangladesh namely Lakdhanavi Bangla Power Limited and Feni Lanka Power Limited have USD borrowings as well as a USD revenue component as per the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed with the Bangladesh Power Development Board. Both companies have sufficient USD cash inflows to cover the USD loan repayments. According to
    IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the respective investee companies have treated the said transaction as a "Cash Flow Hedge" in the financial statements and the two companies expect to hedge the variability in the cash flows corresponding to the loan repayments attributable to changes in exchange rates over the period.
    In this situation, USD borrowing was recognized as the Hedge Instrument and the USD revenue from the PPA is identified as the Hedged Item and both meet the recognition criteria set out in IFRS 9. Further, Hedge Effectiveness appears to be 100%. Accordingly, respective investee companies have applied hedge accounting principles in their financial statements.
    Since both these investments are associates, as per the guidelines of LKAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, Company has applied equity method of accounting and recognized relevant share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and net assets in its financial statements in respect of these investments.
  6. LVL Energy Fund PLC (LEF), Subsidiary Company of the Company has restructured the loan facilities taken from DFCC Bank PLC (DFCC) and National Development Bank PLC (NDB) considering the delay in expected dividend from one of the investee companies. Due to further delay in the said dividend, LEF has obtained an overdraft facility of Rs. 350 Mn from Hatton National Bank PLC (HNB) to meet short term obligations.
  7. Company raised Rs. 218,945,712/- by way of a Rights Issue. 8,324,932 ordinary shares were issued to the holders of ordinary voting shares of the company based on a ratio of 01 new ordinary voting share for every 06 ordinary voting shares held by such shareholders, at a consideration of Rs. 26.30 per share. Objective of the Rights Issue is to subscribe to the Rights Issue of its subsidiary Company LEF.
  8. The stated capital comprises 58,324,932 Ordinary Shares.
  9. There were no liabilities for management fees or any other similar expenditure not provided for in interim financial statements.
  10. There were no contingent liabilities during the period under review that require disclosure in interim financial statements.
  11. Events occurring after the reporting date: No circumstances have arisen since the reporting date which would require adjustment to or disclosure in the interim financial statements other than those disclosed in these notes.
