  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    1. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended 31st March 2025, which have not been audited, have been prepared in accordance with LKAS 34 / Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required for the annual financial statements and have been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2024. The provisions of the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007 and the revised Listing Rules of the Colombo Stock Exchange have also been considered in the preparation of the interim financial statements of the Company and the Group.

    2. There are no new standards or interpretations that were adopted after 31 March 2024.

    3. There are no significant changes in the nature of the contingent liabilities disclosed in the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2024.

    4. Events after the Reporting Date : There were no material events occurring after the reporting date that require adjustments to or disclosure in the financial statements.

    5. Where necessary, comparative figures have been re-classified to conform with the current period's presentation.

  3. LOAN RESTRUCTURING AND OVERDRAFT FACILITY

    LVL Energy Fund PLC (LEF), a subsidiary of the Company, has restructured its loan facilities obtained from DFCC Bank PLC (DFCC) and National Development Bank PLC (NDB) due to delays in receiving expected dividends from one of its investee companies. In light of continued delays in the said dividend inflow, LEF has secured an overdraft facility of LKR 350 million from Hatton National Bank PLC (HNB) to meet its short-term obligations.

  4. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES IN BANGLADESH

    Two of our investee companies in Bangladesh, namely Lakdhanavi Bangla Power Limited and Feni Lanka Power Limited, have USD-denominated borrowings and USD revenue components under their respective Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Bangladesh Power Development Board. Both companies generate sufficient USD cash inflows to fully cover their USD loan repayments.

    In accordance with IFRS 9 / Financial Instruments, the investee companies have designated these arrangements as cash flow hedges in their financial statements. The USD borrowings have been identified as the hedging instruments, and the USD revenue streams under the PPAs have been designated as the hedged items. Both the hedging instruments and hedged items meet the recognition criteria set out in IFRS 9, and hedge effectiveness has been assessed at 100%. Consequently, hedge accounting principles have been appropriately applied by the respective companies.

    Since these companies are associates, the Group has applied the equity method of accounting as per LKAS 28 / Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Accordingly, the Group has recognized its share of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and net assets relating to these investments in its consolidated financial statements.

  5. RIGHTS ISSUE / JUNE 2024

    The Company successfully raised a total of LKR 218,945,712 through a Rights Issue in June 2024. A total of 8,324,932 ordinary voting shares were issued to existing ordinary shareholders on the basis of one (1) new ordinary voting share for every six (6) ordinary voting shares held.
