Chairman’s Message
A
nilana continues to grow, garnering positive consumer feedback
and accolades for good service and high quality. For the past twelve
months, we have been consolidating a position as a rapidly emerging
new Sri Lankan brand, confident in the developing dynamics of the Sri
Lankan economy. We are in an industry that is one of the top foreign
exchange earners for the country, at a time when prospects for growth
in tourism and property development have never been more optimistic.
Recognised as one of the top 10 travel destinations in recent years, Sri
Lanka is truly positioned as one of the most scenic tourist hot spots in
the world.
Emerging global and regional trends
Now freed from civil conflict, Sri Lanka is positioned to reap the benefits
with continued robust growth in the tourism industry. Renewed support
from the traditional markets is the largest cross section of tourist
arrivals, with almost half a million from Western Europe during 2013,
representing approximately 37% of the 1,274,593 total tourist arrivals
reported in 2013. We anticipate even higher growth during 2014 as we
move towards achieving our targeted 2.5 million tourist arrivals in 2016.
We are delighted to see growth from neighboring countries in South
Asia, especially India which represents the highest number of arrivals
to Sri Lanka with an almost 20% market growth to 208, 795. The South
Asia market represents approximately 24% of our total tourist arrivals,
whilst as anticipated, we see that East Asia has also shown rapid
growth increasing by 26.7%, particularly China where numbers in 2013
increased by 96%. Eastern Europe is also increasing significantly, with
growth almost doubling year on year, especially from Russia and Poland,
the Ukraine market has dipped due to recent events, but we expect this
to recover quickly once resolved. The Australian market is also showing
healthy signs of growth, although smaller in percentage terms, increasing
numbers of tourist arrivals totaled over 55,000 during 2013.
These market trends have a significant impact on designs, product
offerings and how we do business. With the total Sri Lanka tourist arrivals
in 2013 exceeding our expected target of 1.2 million, this represents
a 26.7% increase over 2012 which is good reason for confidence.
Receipts from tourism continue to grow, now exceeding USD 1. 2 billion
which further strengthens the industry’s claim that it is a key area of
growth in the post-conflict economy. Given the strong growth outlook
for international tourism in the years ahead, the government has been
prudent in focusing on the development of infrastructure and stimulating
investment, construction and transportation.
Sri Lanka has targeted 2.5 million tourist arrivals by 2016, which will
generate annual revenues in excess of USD 3 billion; whereas at
present graded hotels can cater to approximately 900,000 guests with
approximately 15,000 rooms. So it is crucial for the industry to build
capacity of the quality that will attract the higher yielding tourist segments.
This presents interesting investment opportunities.
We are currently developing the Anilana Dambullla Country Club
which is in the advanced stages of construction. We will add a number
of custom designed private villas shortly to the hotel facilities that are
already under construction. We are also well underway with construction
in Panichchankerni, where several of fifty villas are currently nearing
completion. Acres of pristine curving coastline in many other locations
along the east coast of Sri Lanka await development plans, as we look
not just to build hotels, but entire communities. Each property is being
built using the best quality materials, featuring luxurious rooms and
spacious general areas, equipped with the latest technology. Anilana
aims to making each visitor feel special and is therefore committed to
developing our human resources to their fullest potential to achieve this.
Performance
With 130 rooms in operation in Pasikuda and Nilaveli, with an
additional 54 rooms coming on line shortly in Dambulla, Anilana is well
on its way to establishing and building its unique brand of hospitality
around the country, all in strategic locations. With the development in
Panichchankerni well under way, with plans to finalise the construction a
70 room hotel with 9 suites, we look forward optimistically to the future.
At time of writing, funding is now being finalised which will allow us to
break ground on the exciting Anilana Colombo project, which has been
brought forward in plans.
With our acquisition of new property and value addition from construction
of hotel facilities, total Assets have increased from LKR 4.9 billion in 2013
to LKR 5.5 billion in 2014. Anilana successfully listed its shares on the
Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) through an oversubscribed IPO and
became the first to list in the last 2 years. The confidence placed in the
company and its vision by investors is indeed heartening and strengthens
our resolve to continue creating special places to stay in and around the
country.
Acknowledgements
I extend my sincere appreciation to the Board of Directors for remaining
faithful to executing the plans envisaged for the company. I wish to
place on record my appreciation of our management and staff for their
unstinting support, hard work, enthusiasm and skill in getting several new
properties ready to open our doors for business. Thank you also to our
customers for their patronage and kind comments, to tour operators for
their support and partnership. Finally, I thank you, our dear shareholders,
for the trust and confidence placed in the company to deliver the benefits
of Sri Lanka’s emerging potential in tourism and property development.
Anilana’s focus
Our focus remains the same with Anilana owning ten properties located in
some of the most picturesque locations around the island. We are aiming
to become an integral part of Sri Lanka’s bourgeoning destiny as a mustvisit holiday destination. Anilana Pasikuda took in its first guests in May
2013, with Anilana Nilaveli opening to the public in April 2014, both hotels
have received positive acclaim already, from industry specialists, local
community, international guests, diplomats, senior government officials
and even from members of European royal families who have enjoyed
their stay in our hotels.

A new era of growth
W
ith two hotels now operating successfully on the east coast of Sri
Lanka and a third currently under construction in Dambulla; we have
been busy over the past year consolidating our position as one of Sri
Lanka’s youngest and newest hospitality brands. Together with Anilana
Craigbank Nuwara Eliya and the four exclusive Villas currently under
construction on our Panichchankerni site, growth within Anilana Hotels
& Properties PLC remains solid on target, consolidating our position as
a credible and professional hospitality brand. As we evolve, our core
value remains the same: everything we do either enhances or harms the
reputation of our young brand and we remain committed to enhancing our
products and the quality of our service delivery. We previously defined our
corporate strategy and goals which also remain the same, we want to be
preferred: as an employer by our associates, as a hotel by our guests and
as a shrewd investment by our shareholders.
Central to our marketing strategy, is focus on building our brand name.
Whilst our corporate strategy focuses on the development of the unspoiled
east coast, we recognize traditional marketing practices are changing,
with a broader base of buying choices, the way companies sell products
is evolving, especially with internet based business. Looking beyond
traditional markets, such as europe and India, we see great potential
from China and Russia. We are positioning our brand carefully, directing
ourselves to guests who are interested in quality accommodations,
delicious food and thoughtful services. Anilana Spas have been
carefully designed to provide luxurious and indulgent treatments which
compliments the image of our hotels. Interesting packages have been
developed to attract special interest travellers including themed weddings,
special events, cultural adventures, photosafari’s for nature lovers, ocean
activities such as luxury sailing, whale watching and diving expeditions to
augment the traditional sun worshipping trip.
Continuing to receive positive recognition from guests and dignitaries alike,
we were very proud to receive a highly prized “Certificate of Excellence
2014” for Anilana Pasikuda in only the first year of operation. This accolade
was awarded by Tripadvisor, the benchmark industry specialist in collating
consumer feedback. This was awarded for our consistently high guest
ratings which have been received for the hotel. Since winning this award,
guest feedback remains very encouraging, with a positive rating at slightly
less than 90% which is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the
hotel team.
Anilana Nilaveli has also confidently entered the market, opening in April
2014. That hotel has already created a positive impression, earning high
ratings from customers who have experienced the warmth and friendliness
of the hotel team. Tripadvisor posts positive guest ratings exceeding 90%
at time of writing, with special recognition being given for design, food
quality and the hospitality of our hotel team. We know that our business
is about making people happy and we are delighted to be recognised for
this. Anilana strives to provide a positive “memorable experience”, whilst
consistently delivering high quality products which have been carefully
priced to allow a fair profit, but also a positive guest perception of cost
versus value. We have received some occasional negative feedback
concerning high menu pricing, but our use of organic, sustainable sourced
ingredients and fresh produce which has been picked at the peak of harvest
generally provides superior quality, which has also been commented upon
much more frequently.
6
Our aim is to provide a positive, memorable experience for our guests, but
also positive growth for our company and above average profitability for
our shareholders.
The central theme of our corporate strategy remains the same, to exploit
our comparative advantage of owning large blocks of land in prime
beachfront locations, in addition to these properties, we also are looking
to develop our prestigiously located property in Colombo, which moves
forward in our growth planning. Other opportunities are also currently
under consideration for acquisition in several prestigious locations to
improve our distribution and potential for customised vacation packaging.
Our mission over the next five years is to continue building our network
of successful and competitive hotels, as well as to develop a range of
exclusive villas. Anilana highly prizes originality and our team focuses on
developing new ways of doing things, incorporating new technologies,
improving workflows, simplifying traditional systems and taking advantage
of opportunities which positively impact our bottom line. Dedicated to a
concept of combining luxury, sensible design, discrete service, intimate
seclusion and rejuvenation, we want to surprise and delight our guests,
whilst generating profitability for our shareholders.
As the recent global economic crisis recedes, opportunities for developing
international tourism remains strong for Sri Lanka, we continue to see
growth in the numbers of visitors to the island as well as increases in
their average spend. As the world continues to market exciting holiday
destinations, Sri Lanka remains an exotic and highly desirable option
for many, with increased interest from traditional european markets, but
also much increased interest from markets such as India, China and
Russia. We are fortunate that this happens to be one of the few remaining
opportunities to develop a new tourist destination around the Indian Ocean,
one of the world’s most attractive holiday locations. Anilana recognises a
strong need at the national level to position Sri Lanka as a “must visit
destination”. We want to create opportunities of “unique differentiation”
that would attract foreign national travellers who have attractive alternative
options when selecting their international tourist destination. Tourism in Sri
Lanka has matured considerably in recent years however it is clear that
the challenge ahead is to sustain and nurture this growth with a focused
national Tourism Plan designed to attract the more affluent segments of an
increasingly demanding international market.
Our commitment to shareholders remains strong, we are developing Brand
Anilana to become known as stylish, unique, contemporary and profitable.
When we combine these attributes with our unique blend of Sri Lankan
hospitality, we are confident this will distinguish us from our competitors.
Our team has proven capable of delivering consistent, gracious service
and providing warm and friendly hospitality for all our guests. We believe
our role to be about providing comfort, quality and a unique, memorable
experience, it makes the difference for our guests and we constantly strive
to serve our guests better.

“amazing staff and great food”
We stayed at Anilana Nilaveli during it’s soft open period in May 2014 . It was a fantastic stay!
Even though the resort was not fully operational at that point the staff were so attentive to our
every need. The food - personalised by the chef and his staff- was also amazing, creating all
kinds of delicious sri lankan meals for us ( the best of our trip actually). The pools were also
nice - a little warm but long enough to do laps in of a morning

“a touch of paradise....”
Our Stay in Anilana Nilaveli was very, very great. We came here traveling with our backpacks and wanted to stay for
7 days because we wanted to relax at the beautiful Nilaveli beach. (we stayed longer cause we didnt want to leave).
At first i have to thank the staff for beeing so kind and helpful all the time!
The guys from the service team are really great and do a really good job. They are always friendly and kind, even if
they are in a hurry, they ll also do the best that everyones stay is completely perfekt. Also the poolboys are working
very hard, they keep the whole area clean and also managed to bring the people fresh towels, and arrange the
sunbeds individual how the people wanted them and they are always friendly too. The housekeeping staff was
always very discrete and clean, always got enough water and towels The guys from the reseption where very kind
too. Nothing was a problem to arrange and they tried to figure out the best deal for their guests.

The Hotel itself is very modern, very clean but also cozy and stylish. The suites are very big and the sleeping comfort
is amazing! Bathrooms are new and very cool, the whole room is cleaned twice a day. The food is really tasty and
you can have anything you want. The chef came to us and asked us if we had a special wish when we arrived. There
is always a great choice of food and beverages. (great ICE TEA) The whole area is stunning. The pools are very cool
and at the beach there is a area with sunbeds. very cozy. The beach is simply perfect for bathing and long walks.
For snorkeling they do trips to pidgeon island ( takes 5 minutes by boat to get there)
We thank the whole staff for giving this very cool place a touch of paradise :)
One of the best places to relax !
“Best holidays in years”
We stayed as a family for 3 night at this amazing resort and loved every bit of it. Spa is under

“Top class hotel and staff”
We stayed at the Anilana for 4 days in August. The hotel, food,rooms, pools and gardens are first class. All the staff
are very attentive and the Hotel Manager, Operations Manager and the Head Chef were very active in ensuring
guests were having a good time and were happy.
The beach is fine really, the broken coral is not a massive problem, and if you use the walkway you can get to swim
in the sea without treading on any sharp coral.
Overall, a fantastic hotel made all the better because of the senior management commitment to their guests.

“First time on the east coast but not the last time!”
The warmest of welcomes, and faultless service and attention to detail from the 2 managers,
Apinash and Tushara. All the staff were extremely friendly with the children, indeed they were
treated like little princes. The hotel has an intimate feel as there are not 100s of rooms, so
access to the pool and sun beds is not an issue.

The loft room was ideal for our family of 4 (kids need to be age on stairs) We had cooking
lessons. Pizza for the boys and pork curry and aubergine curry for us. Great fun. Sailing trip to
elephant rock is also to be recommended. The ocean is warm and full of fish.
All in all this is what we expected and even more. The warm greeting you get from the managers
& team , restaurant chef and his team are making this a truly exceptional experience we hope
to find again when we come back.
A big thank you to anilana.
“Good option in Passikudah”
I stayed here for two nights. The room was over looking the beach. It was very peaceful and a really good size. The
pool is beautiful with a great view over the sea. It is true that the beach isn’t great with quite a lot of coral around but it
is still possible to go swimming. The staff were really friendly and went out their way to make sure we had everything
we needed. I would recommend staying here.

inventory on a profit share basis if preferred. The site is boarded with a stream running along a thick green reservation providing ample water
supplies for maintaining horses and the terrain of the site provides various spatial impressions which will be developed to hold impressive water
feature and spatial tropical gardens. The shrub jungle and the shady trees make aforeground for the mighty mountains at the background which
will provide a genuine country club ambience and the roadside border of the site will be developed to become high quality roadside food and
beverage and retail opportunities. Facilities at the resort include a main building and river side chalets totalling 54 rooms & suites, including

Management Discussion & Analysis
34
L
ast year some significant measures taken by the Government have
helped the tourism industry at large. With the country continuing to reap
the benefits of the peace dividend, several strategic investments in terms
of infrastructure development and leisure came into Sri Lanka triggering a
considerable boom in the leisure sector, pushing the stakeholders to expand,
initiate new ventures, and launch mega promotional campaigns. As a result,
significant numbers of tourists arrived in Sri Lanka during 2013/14.
Tourist arrivals in 2013 surpassed the initial target of 1.2 million to record 1.27
million arrivals, a growth of 26.7 per cent over the previous year, Central Bank
of Sri Lanka quantified in its recent annual report. In addition, developments
in infrastructure facilities such as ‘Pura Neguma’ and the Katunayake
expressway have helped improve the first impression of tourists who arrive
into the country.
The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) and other relevant
state institutions stepped up efforts last year aiming to reach the target of 2.5
million tourists by 2016. Promoting tourism development zones in Kalpitiya,
Kuchchaveli, and Yala were in the limelight opting for fresh investment with
a view to develop tourism on different themes and not forgetting the market
differentiation. Ippantive, Vellai and Uchchamuni islands were leased to three
investors and approval was granted by the Coast Conservation Department
to construct four water bungalows in Vellai Island as a pilot project.
Shangri-La Asia Limited, one of Asia Pacific’s luxury hotel chains as well as several other international hotel chains such as the Hyatt,
Movenpick, Marriott and Sheraton were under construction during the year and are expected to commence operations in Sri Lanka in the
near future.
Shangri-La Asia Limited, an investment holding company, which owns and operates hotels and associated properties worldwide. It operates
through three segments: Hotel Operations, Hotel Management, and Property Rentals. The company also provides hotel management,
marketing, consultancy, reservation, and related services; and owns and leases office properties, commercial properties, and serviced
apartments/residences. In addition, it is involved in real estate development and operation activities; operation of staff training academy;
ownership and operation of golf clubs; and property investment and office management activities. The company operates hotels under the
Shangri-La, Traders, Rasa, Summer Palace, Kerry, and Shang Palace brand names. As of December 31, 2013, it had equity interest in 62
operating hotels comprising 28,392 guest rooms.
During the 2013, Government granted the approval for 36 new hotel projects consisting of 2,547 rooms. All-in-all these projects are
estimated to exceed US dollars 372 million investment. Moving forward to promote the lesser known sites with potential for tourism
development areas Ampara, Gampaha and Puttalam districts were also identified. During the next few months these sites are expected
to be promoted in order to attract more tourists to the country, encourage more investment and generate direct and indirect employment
opportunities.
Rather concentrating mainly on the infrastructure development or adding more and more rooms fresh initiatives including the visits to
communities, and activities relating to farming, fishing, festivals, religious and cultural programmes, sports, bird watching and wildlife got
actively promoted. These were attracting more tourists
than conventional areas of leisure, which is offered
competitively in other parts of the world.
Sri Lanka Tourism the foremost authority in the island with
the ambition to promote tourism conducted important
promotional activities both locally and in different parts
of the world. During this period Sri Lanka’s first ever
mega joint promotional campaign, with the involvement
of public and private sectors named ‘Get SriLankan’ed’,
was launched in India followed by a high profile media
conference as well as B2B meetings bringing in travel
and trade under one roof. According to Sri Lankan
tourism authorities, the main aim of this campaign
was to position Sri Lanka as the most preferred travel
destination in emerging markets.
In addition, promotion campaigns were held in Russia
and other CIS countries as well as in emerging high
potential markets such as China.
35
The Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau participated in 35 travel fairs and exhibitions abroad during the year together with representatives
from the travel and tourism industry. Further, 72 media familiarisation tours were organised for journalists from 30 countries under the ‘Visiting
Journalists Programme’, which has proved successful in promoting the country. In addition, the private sector continued its promotional activities
by participating in international tourism fairs and hosting 33 finalists of the Miss France 2014 contest. Further, an exhibition titled ‘Reflection of Sri
Lanka’ and several organised tours were arranged for visitors to the CHOGM, enabling them to get an exposure of locations, attractions and Sri
Lankan traditions and culture, as per the Central Bank analysis.
Hence, all these programs and campaigns are expected to generate interest among conference organisers to consider Sri Lanka as a venue for
hosting international events and promote the country as a tourist destination among commonwealth countries. The way forward in the tourism
sector is to diversify the range of products to cater to different segments of the market.

Everything we do begins and ends
with our guest
We have developed a strategy which has been built on
providing clarity to our brand, maintaining consistency
between hotels (by developing brand standards),
equipping and organising ourselves to sustain future
levels of profitability and developing a strong manpower
development plan. We have positioned ourselves to focus
on the needs of our customer and provide the right products
services and delivery to targeted customer groups.
Anilana will sustain our anticipated growth, ensure brand
integrity and preserve our profitability, whilst working and
adapting in a changing market. Our aim is to consistently
deliver on our brand promise, attract new customers and
retain our current customers. To do this effectively we will
acquire, retain, develop and engage a motivated team of
professionals who are united in spirit and attitude, sharing
our passion for hospitality.
Corporate Structure
To ensure economies, we have centralised several of our
business functions in Anilana Centre, our corporate office
located in Colombo. This includes project management,
finance, compliance, legal, information technology,
reservations, sales & marketing, human resources,
technical services and purchasing; allowing us to minimize
our on site manning levels. On site hotel operational
teams directly focus on providing hospitality and satisfying
the needs of our resident customers. The role of Anilana
Centre has been aligned for us to support our four core
strategic needs of sustaining profitability, developing a
pipeline of trained manpower, brand clarity and maintain
the integrity of our brand.
Design, planning and preparation of
new openings
The senior management team takes a hands-on approach
to ensure that the technicality of the project is fundamentally
viable and that it is in compliance with our brand standards.
These specialists work in close liaison with architects,
specialist consultants, contractors and interior designers
to agree suitable layouts, project costs, constructions
schedules, design standards, operating concepts, interior
designs, furnishing requirements, operating concepts and
operating equipment requirements.
Operating Strategy & Review
38
Marketing, Sales & Reservations Management
All marketing related activities are centrally managed from Anilana Centre,
including our strategic planning, advertising, pubic relations activities,
collateral management, business forecasting, internet based marketing, rate
& revenue management, reservations, qualification of sales prospects, sales
management and contracting. We have clearly identified our markets and
have established aggressive sales targets. We are gradually building a strong
and diverse base, including high yield international customers from traditional
markets such as the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany as well as emerging
markets such as China and Russia. We are also careful to cultivate and foster
positive relationships within our local markets offering special corporate and
local leisure rates to entice regular, repeat guests from within the local market.
Whilst we wish to maintain strong and professional relationships with local
and international Travel Specialists and Tour Operators, we are making a
significant investment in our internet based communications and business
capability. We have developed our own powerful reservations engine and
have focused on developing strong relationships with professional on-line
booking companies such as Agoda.com and Booking.com. With a strong
name optimisation programme in place, we have been able to increase on
line awareness of our brand, and gain preferential standing in Google search.
Paying careful attention to our on-line reputation in both social media and
customer experience sites such as Tripadvisor, we monitor and respond to
guest feedback concerning our products, which helps us to cultivate strong
brand loyalty and improve our product image for future potential guests who
utilise these sites before finalizing their reservations.
Our advertising concept promotes Anilana as “a touch of paradise”, an aspirational destination for the high yield experiential traveller in the
international market, as well as for the upwardly mobile local market. These advertisements are image building and promote the exclusivity and
tranquility of the east coast, beautiful and secluded beaches, areas of great natural beauty and a service intensive hotel experience.
During the soft opening phases of our hotel opening, Introductory rates have been successfully applied to entice first time users and special groups
to experience the Anilana product; this has been very successful at promoting the brand and building initial awareness. We are now focusing on
building our rates, which are positioned at the high end of the market through prudent partnerships with luxury tour operators and promoters in
both established and emerging markets. Focus will be on the luxury F.I.T. traveller and special guests such as honeymooners, those seeking once
in a lifetime experiences and small, more personalised high yield incentive groups.
Recruitment, manpower development and succession planning
All strategic human resources activities are centrally conducted, including
recruitment and selection, compensation planning, development of training
materials, deployment and manpower planning to ensure a future manpower
pipeline is sourced and organized to ensure that sufficient leadership, specialists
and employees are prepared to assume the positions when needed.
Tactical human resources activities such as provision of employee services,
motivation, performance management, service training, counseling and
evaluation are coordinated on property. Our people are a critical component
to delivering on our brand promise and ultimately the guest experience. Our
growth strategy is heavily dependent on ensuring we have the right people, in
the right place at the right time, who have been equipped to provide Anilana’s
brand of hospitality to a clearly defined standard.
Our challenge comes in developing our future leaders at the rate needed to
satisfy requirement at our rate of growth. We will focus on developing our
future leaders by determining the specific strategic and tactical competencies
required, designing development programmes to be built around these specific
competencies. We have already launched our Management Development
Programme, which will provide our future emerging leaders with the education,
tools and confidence to hold leadership positions.
39
Corporate governance, government liaison, licensing and legal matters
With the oversight role and accountability to our Board of Directors, the management team will continue its pursuit of efforts related to
upholding fiscal and legal accountability. Given its far reaching implications on the level of integrity on our relationships with associates,
guests, directors and stockholders; sound corporate governance has a vital role in our aspirations to be the preferred hospitality brand.
Our compliance efforts include the accurate documentation of our work processes and the development of detailed procedures for the
implementation of sound internal control procedures, conduct of internal and external audits and the continued improvement of our
processes to address any internal control issues and recommendations.
Thorough and effective implementation of corporate polices & procedures is a critical issue, with regular monitoring of compliance on a
day to day basis (including approvals and reviews), to ensure we exercise control and close oversight of expenses and company assets.
Strict financial reporting efforts are made to ensure the adaptation of proper accounting standards, and fulfillment of internal and external
financial reporting requirements. Identification and establishment of efficient tax structures and ensuring that transactions are occurring
with validated parties and in compliance with tax regulations is a crucial role of the Head of Finance and Compliance. Audits as stipulated
by statutory requirements are mandatory.
Brand Clarity and Operating Standards
Our hotels share a common definition of “memorable hospitality” to ensure
a common understanding of our operating standards which provides us
with “Brand Clarity”, establishing and maintaining clear service standards
for our guests. We have defined the fundamentals of Hospitality as:
•
•
•
•
Providing Comfort (defining and maintaining standards)
Maintaining Cleanliness (defining and maintaining standards)
Safety (awareness, discipline and actions)
Ensuring Consistency (attentively providing consistent, excellent service)
We will sustain the integrity of our brands by applying brand, product
and service delivery standards at every touch point with our guest to
ensure that the brand experience is consistently delivered in every guest
interaction.
Sustainability
Anilana is very conscious of our ethical, moral and legal obligations relating to sustainability, which we interpret as a simple principle:
Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability
creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, permitting and fulfilling the social,
economic and ethical requirements of present and future generations.
Strategies relating to sustainability have emerged in recent times as a result of increasingly significant concerns regarding unintended
social, environmental, and economic consequences of the rapid population growth, economic growth and consumption of our natural
resources. It has become very important for us to take an active role in protecting our water supplies, materials, energy and resources to
protect future human health and welfare as well as protecting the beauty and diversity of our environment. Our efforts can be characterized
in five dimensions:
1. Environment
We are careful to ensure that we honor the various
laws, ordinances and regulations relating to human
health requirements and environmental protection,
making significant investment in efficient equipment and
computerized monitoring systems which allow us to operate
both responsibly and efficiently, whilst respecting the
environment.
40
During our design and construction phases, Anilana
worked closely with professional consultants to ensure
our water management systems were carefully planned,
environmentally friendly and were constantly monitored to
enable us to reduce wastage and minimize water loss wherever possible in order to conserve supplies. We have invested in purchasing
sophisticated pumps and natural filtration systems for our water whilst producing high quality supplies for guest use, efficient laundry
operations, kitchen utilization, automatic garden water management and efficient sewage treatment with minimum environmental impact.
It makes good business sense to minimize our energy costs and to ensure prudent energy management. We have invested significantly in
our internal and external lighting requirements ensuring that more than 80% of our light fittings are either solar powered or LED. In addition
to our lighting strategies, the majority of our air-conditioning is solar powered, which also provides as a by-product hot water, reducing
reliance on boilers to provide hot water.
2. Community
Our hotels are located in locations previously effected by civil conflict, reducing training and development opportunities for local staff
for many years. Since opening one of our central recruitment
strategies has been to employ approximately 70% of our staff from
surrounding areas. This enables us to provide career prospects to
previously unavailable local talent and provide economic growth
to their families.
These efforts have been acknowledged and appreciated by
our guests, who have not only provided a significant amount of
supportive feedback but have also contributed to local schools
and institutions to assist in the growth of local talent. Whilst skills
are still being developed and training requirements have been
significant we see tremendous growth and improvement in our
young and motivated team of service-oriented professionals.
In addition to our support for the local youth, we also favor
sourcing our products and food items from local farmers and
fishermen, we encourage sustainable fishing methods and the
production organic food items, picked at the peak of the harvest to ensure high quality and ensure a consistent product line to our hotels
as well as to stimulate economic growth.
With the introduction of the Anilana Scholarship Programme, we are selecting gifted and motivated children in the area, and provide
academic support for them to become the best that they can be. We hope that this programme will be successful and popular. In addition,
we have donated significant numbers of school books, sporting equipment and other resources with the intent to enrich the lives of

Human Resources Development
A
t Anilana, we realise that it is our people who make the difference. Our
human resources goals focus on constructing and motivating a team of
young, enthusiastic and well-trained individuals who are united in providing a
warm, friendly and efficient service for our guests. We want our guests to enjoy
a memorable stay and only a motivated team of professionals can make that
happen. Our emphasis on caring for colleagues, training and internal development
ensures that those who demonstrate their commitment, positive attitude and
abilities can grow and develop within Anilana to reach their full potential. We focus
on providing careers, not jobs.
Vision, Mission & Goals
Anilana aspires to be recognised for stylish, contemporary and comfortable
properties and for providing high quality service standards, gracious hospitality
and a focus on satisfying our guest’s needs. Maintaining sustainable growth,
we will provide above average profitable returns to owners and shareholders,
enhancing the value of investments and the worth of the company. We focus
on originality, economically designing facilities and providing consistent services,
which both surprise and delight our guests, whilst generating profitability for our
shareholders.
Our vision, mission, goals, values and internal culture are interdependent,
together they influence our strategic direction. Our efforts to engage associates
in our planning activities to determine how we can better serve our fellow
associates, guests and shareholders contributes to their commitment to genuine
service, which is the first step to achieving high levels of guest satisfaction. In
our view, motivating our associates to become personally involved in serving and
demonstrating loyalty to our guests is central to fulfilling our mission.
Core Values & Internal Culture
We foster a common purpose and strong internal culture within Anilana through
the shared values of mutual respect, commitment to serve, honesty, integrity,
humility, creativity and originality. We believe our people will be the key to our
success in the years ahead so our growth therefore needs to be consistent with
our ability to develop our associates. They must be confident in their skills and
properly equipped to serve our guests with the grace and hospitality that Anilana
wish to present.
Growth needs to be balanced and driven by our strategies and goals, but also
by our shared values and internal culture. These are each interdependent and
must be mutually beneficial and positively managed as this is a key component of
creating sustainable long-term shareholder value. Management team members
are the drivers of internal culture at Anilana, they ensure that all members of
our team practice the fundamentals of our hospitality towards both our guests
and their colleagues. These fundamentals include demonstrating initiative when
working under pressure, remaining flexible to satisfy the needs of our guests and
taking the opportunity to demonstrate they are valuable (and valued) members
within the team. Providing consistency and memorable standards of hospitality
are integral to our success and we believe this to be a cornerstone when building
a strong, dedicated and happy team.
45
Anilana Team
One of our prime concerns is the acquisition, development and retention
of our associates at all levels, we realize that it is only through our people
that we will be able to deliver high levels of hospitality. Fundamental to our
business strategy, is to earn a reputation as a preferred employer. To help
us build this belief, we provide detailed and well-structured performance
standards, training opportunities, feedback, guidance and career advice. We
have spent considerable attention assembling an internationally experienced
and like-minded team of professionals, each well established in their fields
of endeavor. Now, with solid experience in design, construction, marketing,
service delivery, human resources management and financial responsibility,
we are able to meet the challenge of balancing the needs of our guests,
whilst delivering higher than average return on investment to shareholders.
Training & Development
A significant investment has been made in the training and development of
all levels of staff within Anilana, particularly in the development of computer
skills, pre-opening service training, food production standards and internal
management Development.
•
Significant investment has been made in computer systems to allow us to efficiently implement modern standards of
management, inventory control, cost management, financial reporting, guest billing and reservations management. To ensure
our team members were properly equipped to handle these systems, highly qualified international systems trainers provided
on-the job and off the job training and support to enable us to provide the desired service standards and operational capabilities.
•
Sequences of service and standards of performance were developed and used to train our team members in the desired
service standards expected for them to correctly perform their roles within the team. These resources assisted us to reduce
our hiring schedule times and minimize payroll costs. Short periods of focused training improve our productivity and minimize
preopening costs. This training approach will feature prominently during the future openings of each of our hotels.
•
Our hiring schedules for hotels include orientation training periods, to enable us to effectively transfer skills to newly hired team
members who can learn “the Anilana way” on the job, before being expected to perform themselves.
•
Clear culinary and food production standards have been created with detailed Anilana recipes, well-defined plate presentations
and internationally acceptable hygiene standards so that our food production is authentic, cost effective and delicious.
•
We have already celebrated a number of internal promotions, including our first internal Resort Manager appointment. Our
commitment to the internal development of our employees and management will continue, as we plan to appoint future senior
management internally.
•
We have already launched the Anilana Management Development Programme, with the recent appointment of talented young
graduates returning to Sri Lanka following graduation from international education.
Payroll Management & Employee Benefits
We strive to align staffing and payroll expenses with business demand without
compromising our commitment to hospitality and high levels of guest satisfaction.
During periods of declining demand for our products and services we make significant
changes in operations, including staff reductions, outsourcing services, review of
contracts to improve pricing and modification of certain product standards to reduce
costs without significantly impacting quality. As demand improves, we remain
focused on actively managing expenses. A competitive compensation plan has been
developed to ensure employees are well remunerated and cared for. They receive
appropriate reimbursements for business, and are protected from the contingencies
of life. These include a well-defined performance based salary structure, bonus
plans, business related reimbursable expenses, medical Insurance, hospitalisation
plan as well as the government stipulated mandatory benefits such as EPF and ETF.
We are proud of the contributions and the commitment of our people and are
motivated by the promise they offer towards Anilana’s future.

Corporate Social Responsibility
A
t Anilana, we realise our efforts really do make a difference. We take our corporate
social responsibility very seriously and are committed to making a positive and lasting
impact in our community by demonstrating a strong commitment to preserving our natural
environment and by giving back to the local communities in which we operate, especially
towards children and sport. We do this through the use of locally produced organic food
items, support for local farmers and fishermen, the use of sustainable food products,
sponsorship and through the volunteer services of our associates.
Environmental Matters
We are careful to ensure we honor the various laws, ordinances and regulations relating to
environmental protection and have made significant investment in equipment and systems
that allow us to operate responsibility and efficiently, whilst respecting the environment.
This is not only our environmental responsibility, but is also good business as we can
reduce costs whilst protecting our environment.
We have played close attention in particular our water management, waste management
and energy consumption with careful planning in each area, allowing us to harness and
benefit from modern technology.
•
With growing concerns towards prudent water management, it has been important
to ensure we are responsible in water management and delivery without permitting
undue wastage. This requires a thorough understanding of local water conditions,
treatment methods, storage, recycling and filtration systems to maintain high
quality water for guests, laundry and culinary requirements. Anilana has been
working closely with professional consultants to ensure this is carefully planned
and constantly monitored to minimise wastage and conserve water wherever
possible. We have sophisticated pumps and filtration systems for guest use,
efficient laundry and kitchen utilization, automatic garden water management and
sewage treatment.
•
Significant investment has gone into internal and external lighting requirements
with approximately 80% of our light fittings being either solar powered or LED
lighting. Despite higher initial investment, this has helped us to reduce energy costs
over time and demonstrates our commitment to prudent energy management. We
also ensure that a high percentage of our air-conditioning units are solar powered,
which has the additional benefit of providing hot water as a by-product, minimizing
our dependence on boilers.
•
In both architectural and in interior design programmes, Anilana have been keen
to incorporate high proportions of natural materials in our designs. Design features
include high ceiling lobbies to naturally cool spaces rather than air-conditioning
them, the use of indigenous wood for our floor, decking and stair finishes, natural
thatching for roofing and the use of water features and fountains which irrigate and
provide cooling.
•
Anilana are committed to the proper disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic
substances and the correct transportation of such substances.
49

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the financial statements are listed below. The group intends to adopt
those standards when they become effective.
a. SLFRS 9-Financial Instruments: SLFRS 9 as issued reflects the replacement of LKAS 39 and applies to recognition, classification and
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in LKAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2015.
b. SLFRS 10-Consolidated Financial Statements: SLFRS 10 replaces the portion of LKA 27 consolidated and separate financial statements
that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. SLFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment 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. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
Notes to the Financial Statements continued
76
c. 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 interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates. This standard becomes effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
d. SLFRS 13-Fair Value Measurement: SLFRS 13 establishes guidance for all fair value measurements and disclosures. The group is
currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance. This standard becomes effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies
The changes in accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in the condensed financial
statements unless otherwise indicated. The presentation and classification of the consolidated financial statements of the previous year
have been amended, where relevant, for better presentation and to be comparable with those of the current year.
2.3 Foreign Currency Translation
2.3.1 Functional and Presentation Currency
Transaction and balances included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in Sri Lanka Rupees (LKR), which is the company’s
presentation currency.
2.3.2 Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
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 statement of comprehensive income.
Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
2.4 Basis of Consolidation
2.4.1 Business Combination
The Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date – i.e. when control is transferred to the
Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing
control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable.
When the group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost,
with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive
income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities are reclassified to
profit or loss.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In the Company’s financial statements, investments in
subsidiaries are carried at directors’ valuation less impairment if any.
Non-controlling Interest
The Group elects the proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date to measure noncontrolling interest.
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners in their
capacity as owners. Adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary
2.4.2 Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated 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.
77
2.4.3 General
Adjustments required to the accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where ever necessary to align them with the policies
adopted by the group.
The Financial Statements of all subsidiaries in the Group have a common financial year which ends on March 31.
Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the group are accounted at deemed cost less impairment as elected
and optional exemption at the date of transition. Deemed cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent
consideration amendments. Cost also includes directly attributable costs of investment.
2.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
2.5.1 Recognition and Measurement
All the item of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Where items of property, plant and equipment are subsequently
revalued, the entire class of such assets is revalued. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that their carrying amounts
do not differ materially from their fair values at the reporting date.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self- constructed assets includes the
following.
• The cost of materials and direct labour
• Any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use;
• When the group has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the cost of dismantling and
removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and
• Capitalized borrowing costs
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major
components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent to the initial recognition of the assets at cost, the revalued property, plant and equipment are carried at revalued amounts less
accumulated depreciation thereon and accumulated impairment losses. The Group applies revaluation model to freehold Lands and cost
model to the remaining assets under property, plant and equipment which are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation less
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
2.5.2
Revaluation of Freehold Properties
The freehold Lands of the Group are carried at revalued amounts. Revaluation of these assets are carried out at least once in five (5) years
in order to ensure the book value every year reflect the realizable value of such assets.
When an asset is revalued, any increase in the carrying amount is credited directly to a revaluation surplus unless it reverses a previous
revaluation decrease relating to the same asset, which was previously recognized as an expense. In these circumstances the increase is
recognized as income to the extent of the previous write down. When an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation,
the decrease is recognized as an expense unless it reverses a previous increment relating to the asset, in which case it is charged against
any related revaluation surplus, to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the evaluation surplus in respect of
that same asset. Any balance remaining in the revaluation surplus in respect of an asset, is transferred directly to accumulated profits on
retirement or disposal of the asset.
2.5.3 Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised 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 derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of
comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
2.5.4 Depreciation
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date they are available for use or, in respect of self-constructed assets,
from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.
78
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straightline basis over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is recognized 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 Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land
is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current year of property, plant and equipment are as follows.

Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use whereas depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset
is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
2.5.5 Disposal
The gains or losses arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment are recognized within other income in the statement of
comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.
2.5.6 Capital Work-in-Progress
Capital work-in-progress represents the accumulated cost of materials and other costs directly related to the construction of an asset. Capital
in progress is transferred to the respective asset accounts at the time it is substantially completed and ready for its intended use.
2.6 Intangible Assets
Acquired computer software is capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software and systems.
Intangible assets acquired are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortized
over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Computer Software and Systems 05 Years
Costs associated with maintaining computer software are recognized as an expense as incurred.
2.7 Leasehold Land
Land held under leases is initially measured at the total amount paid on lease term plus any initial direct cost incurred at the inception and
subsequently the leasehold land is measured at amortized cost. The value of leasehold land is amortized over the lease period.
79
Rate
Leasehold land 30 Years 3.33%
2.8 Impairment on Non-Financial Assets
At each end of reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset
is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of
an individual asset, the Group determines the cash-generating unit and estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of
comprehensive income.
2.9 Financial Assets
(a) Classification
The group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and classifies its financial assets as follows:
I. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
II. Loans and Receivables
III. Available for sale (AFS) Financial Assets
I. Financial assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that are either classified as held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are
designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. Investments bought with the intention to sell in the near future are classified as held for trading.
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. Loans
and receivables are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are
classified as non-current assets.
Available-for-sale 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 12 months of the end
of the reporting period.
The classification of the financial assets under above categories is given in Note 30 to the financial statements.
(b) Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial assets classified as loans and receivables are recognized on the date on which the group originates the transaction. Other financial
assets are recognized on the trade-date on which the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
A financial asset is measured initially at fair value plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable
transaction costs. In case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs attributable are recognized in profit or loss
as incurred.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and
the company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
80
(c) Subsequent Measurement
I. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial assets are re-measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in gain or losses
from financial asset at FVTPL in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
II. Loans and receivables
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision
for impairment.
After initial recognition, quoted equity investment classified as AFS financial asset is measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
AFS financial asset are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as available for sale reserve in the statement of changes
in equity. Unquoted equity investments, which are group’s strategic investments are measured at cost less any Impairment losses, as
currently its fair value cannot be estimated reliably.
2.10 Impairment of financial assets
Assets carried at amortized cost
The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. A financial
asset 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 that can be reliably estimated.
For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, 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 financial assets is reduced and the amount of the loss is
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
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.
The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. For quoted
equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost is also evidence that the assets are
impaired. If any such evidence exists for the quoted investments, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition
cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as
a reclassification adjustment. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available
for sale are reversed through profit or loss. The amount of reversal is recognized in the other comprehensive income.
For unquoted equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the value of the investments below its cost is also evidence that
the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for the unquoted investments, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the
difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current
market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed.
2.11 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted average cost method. The cost of
finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads computed
based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of
completion and selling expenses.
Consumables are stated at cost. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Consumables are comprised of spare parts, stationeries
and other general items which are used for consumption not for re-sale.
81
2.12 Cash and Cash Equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.13 Financial Liabilities
The group classifies financial liabilities into other financial liabilities. The other financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any
directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.
The group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The items of the financial liabilities are given in Note 30 to the financial statements.
2.14 Trade Payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade
payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due in the normal operating cycle of the business (within one year or less). If not,
they are classified as non -current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value (transaction price) and subsequently measured at the transaction price as they are
expected to pay in the normal operating cycle of the business.
2.15 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost using
the effective interest method.
Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition, construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready
for their intended use.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.
2.16 Current and Deferred Tax
Current Tax in respect of the profits and Income of the Company is exempted for a period of fifteen (15) years reckoned from the year in which
the Company commences to make profits or any year of assessment not later than two (02) year reckoned from the date of commencement
of commercial activities or whichever year is earlier, as specified in BOI agreements dated 12 January 2012.
As per the BOI agreements subsidiaries namely Eastern Development Enterprises (Pvt) Ltd and Dambulla Hotel Resort and Country Club
(Pvt) Ltd are exempted from income tax for the period of fifteen (15) years and nine (9) years respectively. All other subsidiaries are liable for
income tax as per the Inland Revenue Act, No. 10 of 2006 and subsequent amendments thereto.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred tax is determined using
tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting period end date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized
or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
Deferred taxation has not been recognized due to realization of the related future tax benefits / liabilities are insignificant and also not in near
future.
82
2.17 Employee Benefits
The group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
a) Defined Contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a post employment benefit plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group
has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when
they are due.
The group contributes 12% on gross emoluments of employee to Employee Provident Fund (EPF) and 3% on gross emoluments of employee
to Employee Trust Fund (ETF).
b) Defined benefit plan
The group obligation in respect of defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefits obligation at the end of the reporting period.
The defined benefits obligation is calculated by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined
benefits obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future benefit that employee have earned in return for their services in the
current and prior period.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in
other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
The group will remeasure the define benefit obligation when the amounts recognized in the financial statements will differ materially from the
amount that would be determine at the end of the reporting period.
Past service costs are recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
The retirement benefits obligation is not externally funded.
c) Short-term employee benefit
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted amount expected to be paid for related services provided by the
employee.
2.18 Contingent Liability and Contingent Assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company 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 extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the Financial Statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of
one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company. The company does not recognize contingent assets but discloses its
existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain.
2.19 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for services rendered,
stated net of Value Added Taxes (VAT), Nation Building Tax (NBT) and Tourist Board Levy (TDL) (if liable for revenue taxes). The company
recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to
the company.
83
The group applies the revenue recognition criteria set out below to each identifiable major types of revenue.
(a) Apartment, Food & Beverage Sales
Apartment revenue is recognized on the rooms occupied on a daily basis, and food and beverage are accounted for at the time of sales.
(b) Rendering Services
Revenue arises from services rendered is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered based on completion of services
and assessed on the basis of the actual services rendered.
(c) Interest income
Interest income is recognized using effective interest method for all interest bearing financial assets.
(d) Gain and Losses on Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the statement
of comprehensive income.
(e) Other income
Other income is recognized on accrual basis.
2.20 Expenses
All expenditure incurred in the running of the operation has been charged to income in arriving at the profit for the reporting period.
2.21 Events Occurring after the Reporting Period
All material events after the reporting period have been considered and where appropriate adjustments or disclosures have been made in the
respective notes to the financial statements.
2.22 Commitments
All material commitments at the reporting period end have been identified and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
2.23 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about the recognition
and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
2.23.1 The following are significant judgments in applying the accounting policies that have most significant effect on the financial statements.
(a) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against
which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
2.23.2 Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses is provided below:
(a) Useful life time of Depreciable Assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful life time of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected economic utility of
the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment.
(b) Defined benefit plan
The present value of the defined benefit plan obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on actuarial valuation method
using a number of assumptions. The assumptions are used in determining the net cost and obligation for defined benefit plan including the
discount rate disclosed in the note 23. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit obligation.
