NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As at 30th September 2024

  1. General
    • These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with LKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements.
    • The requirements of the Colombo Stock Exchange and the Companies Act No.7 of 2007 have also been considered in preparing these financial statements
    • The information for the preparation of these interim financial statements has been drawn up from the previous year's audited financial records of the Company.
    • Accounting policies and methods of computation as stated in the audited financial statements for the year 2023/24 are followed in the preparation of these Interim Financial Statements.
    • Interest income recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Other operating income includes commision income, capital gains / losses arising from marked to market valuation of quoted shares held for trading purposes, dividends, fee income, collections from contracts written off and other sundry income.
    • The Company's Profit Before Tax (PBT) for the period ending September 30, 2024, was Rs. 8.15 billion, reflecting a 46% increase compared to the same period last year. The net lending portfolio experienced a notable growth of Rs. 14 billion, rising from Rs. 249.6 billion to Rs. 263.5 billion during the current financial year. Additionally, the deposit base increased from Rs. 206 billion to Rs. 212 billion by September 30, 2024. Throughout this period, both interest income and interest expenses decreased due to the reduction in market interest rates. Furthermore, we successfully managed non-performing loans (NPLs) at a low rate, leading to a 50% decline in provisions compared to the previous year. We also observed a significant increase in other operating income relative to the same period last year, driven by returns generated from investments of excess funds.
