Chairman’s Review
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 19th Annual General Meeting of the Company and to place before you the audited financial statements and the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31st March 2018.
A macro-economic environment with slow growth, elevated geopolitical risks and economic issues in exporting countries threatened our growth potential in some identified markets. This year we also saw an upward shift in interest rates which affected our business. However the largest impact was from the cost of our main raw material increasing to reach unprecedented levels not seen before.
The Industry
Coconut production decreased from 2,840 nuts in 2016 to 2,450 nuts in 2017 which is a 14% decrease. This decrease in production was attributed to drought in coconut growing areas. Unlike with other industries in Sri Lankan and our competing nations the import of coconut and the white coconut meat is not permitted in Sri Lanka. However after much representation this was permitted as a temporary measure given the unprecedented shortage impacting the cost of living. However going forward this will not offset the issues faced by industrialist in the lean season or during periods after adverse weather, a long term national policy needs to be in place which allows either to import raw material or which would open up land and encourage the private sector to engage in productive large scale commercial coconut plantations.
The Company
In spite of the difficulties faced, given that we are at the apex of value addition in the coconut industry we managed to remain profitable. Therefore I am pleased to report that your company delivered acceptable results in 2017/18 with recorded revenue of Rs. 2.97 Bn.
To add to issues of the local coconut industry, strong competition from Indonesia and Vietnam added to the decline of margins due to aggressive competition in export markets. However your Company’s innovative products maintained profitability. Our processing centers too were upgraded with automated production lines which further helped us to sustain our position in the value added coconut industry. Although our business continues to be under pressure from increased raw material cost and utility costs. Your company hopes to continue to invest in process improvements, new product development and in its Brands.
In spite of stiff competition from other coconut brands in the International market, our flagship brands continue to sustain growth through focused marketing strategies adopted. Our continuous advertising and promotional activities has resulted in us securing suitable distributors in other targeted markets catering to the right segments. Furthermore our sustained distribution in the local market through our affiliate company has enabled us to achieve the desired sales targets and create new opportunities for further growth in the coconut food segment in Sri Lanka.
Chairman’s ReviewWay Forward
Renuka Agri Foods short to medium term strategy includes consolidation and growing the main business of coconut based food and beverage products. The global focus and ever growing needs on environmental sustainability that enforces tighter regulations will be a catalyst for the growth of our products, while our innovative culture and strong customer relationships will help us to achieve our business plans. As the Group we will invest and work towards enhancing throughput, yields and capacity utilization of existing facilities; while in the medium-term the strategy is to expand manufacturing capacity depending on raw material availability and preferred geographical spread for the organization.
The vision of our company is to be a global local. In other words, a company with a firm footing in Sri Lanka but with the strength to reach most coconut consuming countries in the world. Towards this objective, the company has set its targets to become a regional player by the turn of the decade. We are confident that with the passion we possess in doing our business we can achieve this not impossible target and make Renuka Agri Foods a proud Sri Lankan entity.
Acknowledgements
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my fellow Directors on the Board for their support, and to my other colleagues in the Group who have worked tirelessly to add to shareholder value, and to all employees for their dedication and commitment. I also extend my gratitude to the shareholders and all other stakeholders for the support and confidence placed in us.

Operating EnvironmentSri Lanka economy grew by 3.1% in 2017, which is 130 bps below the growth of 4.4% in the year 2016. Economic growth was mainly supported by growth in industrial sector and service related sector. However due to adverse weather conditions which prevailed during 2017, the agricultural sector growth contracted for the second year running. There were notable developments in the country during the last 12 months which include;
• International Monetary Board completed thesecond review of Economic performance of Sri Lanka under extended fund facility arrangement and approved USD 167.2 Mn.
• New forex law has allowed a Company listed onthe Colombo Stock Exchange to invest up to USD 2 Mn a year in overseas assets. The outward investors could buy shares, units, debt securities, and sovereign bonds.
Movement Cause Impact to Renuka Agri Foods PLC
Economic Growth
GDP growth indicates 3.1% for the year ended 2017 compared to GDP growth of 4.4% In year 2016
Agricultural sector indicated a negative growth of 0.8% due to adverse weather conditions.
Industry activities grew by 3.9% despite of slow growth in construction sector. However manufacturing of textile and leather related products has grown by 5.7% YoY growth in service sector reflects 3.2%
The adverse weather conditions had a significant impact on the coconut Industry resulting in increased raw material prices. In addition strong competition in the export markets added to the decrease in margins. However our flagship brands continued to maintain growth and the sustained distribution in the local market has enabled us to achieve the desired sales. during the year.
Inflation
The Colombo Consumer Price Index (CCPI – Base year 2013) moved upward by 6.6% in 2017, higher than last year’s 4.0%.
Negatively impacted the domestic supply side developments and food supply as a result of adverse whether conditions which prevailed in the Country and revision of Government direct and indirect taxes.
Further other non - food clusters such as transport, various services, restaurants and hotels, recreation and cultural activities, education, clothing and footwear, and furnishing, household equipment and routine household maintenance contributed negatively towards the increase in inflation.
Increased inflation lead to escalation in raw and packing material sourcing prices which resulted in the company margins being adversely affected.
Domestic Interest Rates
The AWDR and AWLR increased during 2017 by 5.15% (68 bps) and 11.02% (90 bps) respectively.
However, treasury rates adjusted downwards during the year. 5 year Treasury Bond rate declined by approximately 268 bps.
The Central Bank of Sri Lanka continued to tighten the monetary policy to prevent adverse inflation and excess monetary and credit expansion in the country. In March 2017 the CBSL increased the SDFR and SLFR by 25 basis points.
However country’s borrowing pressure was reduced due to Foreign inflows of USD 391.9 Bn YTD, Government of Sri Lanka securing funds from IMF and funds from lease of Hambantota Port, which led the Government to a drop in treasury yields.
Increasing in lending rates and increased borrowing during the year due to drop in margins has resulted in an increase finance costs during the year.
• The Government of Sri Lanka has completed theformal handover of the strategic port of Hambantota to China, who has taken control of the facility on a 99-year lease for USD 1.12 Bn.
• The new Inland Revenue Bill 2017 was passed inParliament by a majority and came in to effect from April 2018. The new Inland Revenue Act aims to simplify the existing tax structure to increase the tax base while improving tax administration.

Management Discussion Analysis
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 7
Capital Management Review
Managing our capital according to a structured process is key to our continued success. The capital reports below, gives a summary description of our capital resources.
Financial Capital
The company despite many challenges increased Revenue growth to Rs 2.9Bn which was an increase of 17% compared to last year Revenue of Rs 2.5Bn.
During the year the gross profit of the Company was Rs. 231Mn, Which was a Rs.335Mn decline from last year. This was primarily due to increase in costs in main raw material prices which trimmed the benefits of the Company’s revenue growth.
Manufacturing Capital
Deriving over 90% of our revenue from manufactured products we are conscious of the importance of ensuring that our manufacturing capabilities are expanded, upgraded and maintained according to carefully orchestrated plan to deliver growth and future sustainability. One of our key capital investments during the year was in installing roof top solar panels which would reduce the national grid electricity consumption further.
Our manufactured capital comprises of building, plant & machinery and other items including motor vehicles, furniture & fittings and tools and equipment.
Natural Capital
Environmental sustainability is highly regarded and embedded into the corporate governance framework of the Renuka Agri Sector whilst managing the natural resources and meeting corporate obligations towards protecting the environment around us.
Through our organic certified plantation’s and factories we ensure that our customers all around the world get organic coconut products which is sustainable in the long term as well.
Exchange Rates
The rupee depreciated by 2.82% against the US Dollar and 14.45% against the Euro in 2017
Strong export earnings growth of 10.2% YoY, foreign currency term loans, IMF receipts and foreign direct investments controlled the LKR depreciation against the US$.
However, increase in imports partly driven by adverse weather conditions negatively impacted the exchange rate.
Depreciation of the Rupee had a negative impact on our import payments however this contributed positively towards the company’s export turnover growth.
Share Market
The All Share Price index has increased by 2.3% and the S&P Sri Lanka 20 Index also increased by 5% compared to a decline reported previous year.
Price indices of sub-sectors: banking, finance & insurance, food & tobacco and the diversified holding sectors have increased over 5% while hotel and travel and manufacturing sectors declined by 6.8% and 9.1% respectively.
Though the stock market showed a positive outlook due to the agriculture sector growth slowdown the company share prices declined marginally during the year.
Focus on energy management, waste management, maintaining clean business environment, water management are few initiatives taken by the Group during the year. We also embarked on “Net Plus” solar power project at our factory by installing roof top solar panels with a view to reducing electricity consumption within the Group. Further, our plantation sector company has commissioned a king coconut shredder machine to convert waste king coconut husk in to useful organic inputs to be used in the coconut plantation to retain moisture of the soil. This will eradicate the problem of mosquito breeding points as well.
We also provide guidance to farmers on sustainable agricultural practices with the objective of preserving soil health, forestry and bio diversity.
Management of natural capital is a critical imperative as it accounts for significant portion of our total assets. We are heavily dependent on natural resources, water ,energy and are significantly impacted by climate change in our plantations
We also seek to manage our consumption of materials, water and energy to reduce cost of production and our impacts on the environment. Compliance with Central Environmental Authority License which is obtained by all our factories is strictly adhered to.
Human Capital
The Group strongly believes in people development and encourages knowledge sharing. as a result management launched its organization structures and strategy for 2020 to its senior management team and emphasized the roles that each one of our employee needs to play in the coming years. Having sought insights from internal and external stakeholders, some of the business processes, operations and departments reporting have been revisited and streamlined.
The new performance management system was adopted during third quarter and implemented role templates and goal sheets to carry out self-evaluation and year end performance review. This system also include annual employee satisfaction survey, HRIS and automated HR processes, employee reward schemes and conducting career committee meetings.

Intellectual Capital

Outlook

Risk ManagementRisk Management is an integral part of our business, since management of risks against returns is a critical trade off decision businesses have to make every day when it comes to investment and operational decision making.
We reviewed and refined our investment and business processes balancing objectively and consistency with responsiveness and flexibility. The aim was to lay a sound foundation to integrate our risk management activities as part and parcel of our business operations.
Our Approach to Risk Management
Our definition for Risk is the potential occurrence of an external or internal event that may negatively impact our ability to acheive the group business objectives.
The process of embedding risk management system within our groups systems and procedure can be outline as below:
1. Identify Controls that are already operating
2. Monitor those controls to ensure their effectiveness
3. Improve and refine as per the requirement
4. Document evidence of monitoring and control operation
Group’s risk management framework takes into account the range of risks to be managed, and summary in to below categories.
1. Strategic Risk - A possible source of loss that might arise from an unsuccessful strategic decision taken by the organization. These contain strategies related to growth and strategic positioning which ultimately affect the overall mission of the group.
2. Operational Risk - is the potential loss that might arise in business operation resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and system or external events which ultimately affect the day to day activities of the Group.
3. Financial Risk- The likelihood of loss inherent in financing procedures which may weaken the ability to deliver adequate return to the Group. This may include liquidity risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk.
The systems and process are in place to deal with these risks, and the chain of responsibility within the organization to monitor the effectiveness of our mitigation measures.
Enterprise Risk Management
Process Risk Identification, Prioritization and Assessment
As the initial step of the risk framework, it is important to identify risks for effective management. Renuka Group identifies all the risks by key stakeholders. We consider risk identification to be a key component of a robust risk management framework. In the absence of a proper risk identification process. The organization is incapable
of effectively managing its key risks. We evaluate risks according to the likelihood of occurrence and magnitude of impact. This assessment provides a prioritized risk list, identifying those risks that need the most urgent attention.

Develop Risk Management Strategy
The Risk management strategies address how Group intend to assess risk, respond to risk and making explicit and transparent the risk perceptions that organization routinely use in making both investment and operational decisions.
The above concept has been embedded with risk mapping in order to develop a robust framework to determine an appropriate risk management strategy as shown below.
The Risk Management process in place ensures the clear allocation and segregation of responsibilities relating to risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring, control and communication. We have in place several measures to strengthen our risk management process which are linked to our business processes. These include policies to mitigate business risks along with the upgrading of the support system that enable easy monitoring and management risks

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the shareholders of Renuka Agri Foods PLC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Renuka Agri Foods PLC (“the Company”), and the consolidated financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries (“Group”) , which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 March 2018, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information as set out on pages 41 to 80.
In our opinion, the financial statements of the Company and the Group give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 March 2018, and of their financial performance and 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 Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by CA Sri Lanka (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 most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Investment in Subsidiaries
Refer to Note 17 in the Financial Statements
The key audit matter Our responses
The company has made a significant investment in its subsidiary namely Renuka Organics Limited (100%).
This was an area of focus for the audit team since the valuation of this investment is highly judgmental and involve complex estimation

RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/1834
Carrying Value of Inventories
Refer to Note 20 in the Financial Statements
The key audit matter Our responses
We identified assessing the valuation of inventories as a key audit matter because of the inherent risk that the Group’s inventories may become obsolete or may be sold at prices below their carrying values and because the judgment exercised by management in determining the appropriate provision for inventories involves management’s assessment of factors which can be uncertain and complex.
Our audit procedures included:
• Testingtheadequacyofthegroup’sprovisionagainstinventory by assessing the assumptions applied by the group in providing against aged/obsolete items. We did this by assessing the historical accuracy of the group provisioning policy.
• Aspartofourattendanceattheyear-endinventorycounts we challenged the inventory provisioning in line with our observations of potentially obsolete inventory. Testing a sample of inventory, comparing the carrying value to recent sales invoices to ensure provisions were appropriately applied.
• Testingthecalculationoflabourandproductionoverhead absorption by critically assessing the method of calculation and challenging the levels of overhead absorbed compared to actual overhead costs incurred and in comparison to prior year levels.
• Testingasampleofinventorytosalessubsequenttotheyear end and assessed if they were sold at higher than the cost
Other Information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.
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 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 appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the 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, the management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 the management either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and the Group financial reporting process.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated 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 auditors’ 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:

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.
• Obtainanunderstandingofinternalcontrolrelevanttotheauditinordertodesignauditproceduresthatareappropriateinthe circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company and the Group’s internal control.

• Concludeontheappropriatenessofmanagementuseofthegoingconcernbasisofaccountingand,basedontheauditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Obtainsufficientappropriateauditevidenceregardingthefinancialinformationoftheentitiesorbusinessactivitieswithinthe Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 relevant ethical requirements in accordance with Code of Ethics regarding independence, and 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 charge 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report is 3707.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1. Statement of compliance
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as at 31st March 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the Sri Lanka Accounting standards (SLFRS/LKAS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka and the requirements of the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 13th August 2018.
2.2. Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:
Notes To The Financial Statements • Biologicalassetsaremeasuredatfairvaluelesscosts
to sell
• Liabilityfordefinedbenefitobligations iscarriedatthe present value of the defined benefit obligations.
• LandandBuildingsarecarriedatfairvalue
Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment charged subsequent to the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed every 3-5 years (or frequently enough) to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount.
2.3. Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Sri Lankan rupees, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest rupee unless otherwise indicated.
2.4. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with SLFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements is included in the respective notes to the Financial Statements.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in respective notes to the Financial Statements.
2.4.1. Transfer pricing regulation
The group is subject to income taxes and other taxes including transfer pricing regulations. Prevailing uncertainties with respect to the interpretation of respective transfer pricing regulations, necessitated using management judgment to determine the impact of transfer pricing regulations. Accordingly critical judgments and estimates were used in applying the regulations in aspects including but not limited to identifying associated undertakings, estimation of the respective arm’s length prices and selection of appropriate pricing mechanism. The current tax charge is subject to such judgments. Differences between estimated income tax charge and actual payable may arise as a result of management’s interpretation and application of transfer pricing regulation.
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/1842
2.5. Going Concern
The Board of Directors has made an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future and they do not intend to liquidate or cease trading.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated Financial Statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
3.1. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated Financial Statements include the Financial Statements of the company, its subsidiaries and other companies over which it has control. The group’s Financial Statements comprise of the consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Group which have been prepared in compliance with the group’s accounting policies.
3.1.1. Business combinations
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date which is the date on which 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 currently are exercisable. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
• Thefairvalueoftheconsiderationtransferred;plus
• The recognized amount of any non - controllinginterest in acquiree; plus
• Ifthebusinesscombinationisachievedinstages,thefair value of the pre - existing equity interest in the acquire; less
• The net recognized amount (generally fair value)of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
• Whentheexcessisnegative,abargainpurchasegainis recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.1.2. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of
subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
3.1.3. Non-controlling interests
Non - controlling interests (NCI) are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.
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.
3.1.4. Loss of Control
When the group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity.
Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any Interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
3.1.5. Interests in equity-accounted investees
The Group’s interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control over the financial and operating policies.
Interests in associate is accounted for using the equity method. It is initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.
3.1.6. 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. Unrealised 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.
3.2. Foreign Currency
3.2.1. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont.)
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 43
that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are generally recognized in profit or loss.
However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in OCI:
• Available-for-sale equity investments (excepton impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss)
3.3. Financial instruments
The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities category.
3.3.1. Non-Derivative Financial Assets
The Group initially recognizes loans and receivables and debt securities on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets:
• Loansandreceivables
• CashandCashEquivalents
• Available-for-salefinancialassets
a. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payment that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized at fair value plus
any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Loans and receivables comprise of trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
b. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Group in the management of its short term commitments.
c. Available-for-sale Financial Assets
These assets are initially measured at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on debt instruments, are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the fair value reserve. When these assets are derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
3.3.2. Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group classifies non derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such 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.
Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, debt securities issued, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the statement of cash flows.
Notes To The Financial Statements
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/1844
3.3.3. De-recognition of Financial Instruments
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the right to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or when it transfers the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Group neither transfer nor substantially all risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
In transactions in which the Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and it retains control over the asset, the Group continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset.
On de-recognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset transferred), and the sum of (i) the consideration received (Including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when and only when, the group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset or settle the liability simultaneously.
3.3.4. Determination of Fair Value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• Intheprincipalmarketfortheassetorliabilityor
• In the absence of a principal market, in the mostadvantageous market for the asset or liability.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level1-Quoted(unadjusted)marketpricesinactive markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level2-Valuationtechniquesforwhichthe lowestlevel input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level3-Valuationtechniquesforwhichthe lowestlevel input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
Level 1
When available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using active quoted prices or dealer price quotations (assets and long positions are measured at a bid price; liabilities and short positions are measured at an asking price), without any deduction for transaction costs. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
Level 2
If a market for a financial instrument is not active, then the Company establishes fair value using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties (if available), reference to the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analyses, credit models, option pricing models and other relevant valuation models. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as little as possible on estimates specific to the Company, incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price, and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. Inputs to valuation techniques reasonably represent market expectations and measures of the risk-return factors inherent in the financial instrument. The Company calibrates valuation techniques and tests them for validity using prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on other available observable market data.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price, i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received, unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument, i.e. without modification or repackaging, or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. When transaction price provides the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition, the financial instrument is initially measured at the transaction price and any difference between this price and the value initially obtained from a valuation model is subsequently recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but not later than when the valuation is supported wholly by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.
Level 3
Certain financial instruments are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques in which current market transactions or observable market data are not available. Their fair value is determined by using valuation models
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont.)
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 45
that have been tested against prices or inputs to actual market transactions and also using the best estimate of the most appropriate model assumptions. Models are adjusted to reflect the spread for bid and ask prices to reflect costs to close out positions, credit and debit valuation adjustments, liquidity spread and limitations in the models. Also, profit or loss calculated when such financial instruments are first recorded (‘Day 1’ profit or loss) is deferred and recognised only when the inputs become observable or on derecognition of the instrument.
3.3.5. Stated Capital
3.3.5.1. Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
3.4. Property, Plant and Equipment
3.4.1. Recognition and Measurement
Land and Buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss and other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of the equipment. 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.
3.4.1.1. Revaluation Method
Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment charged subsequent to the date of the revaluation. Where land and buildings are subsequently revalued, the entire class of such assets is revalued at fair value on the date of revaluation. Valuations are performed every 3-5 years (or frequently enough) to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount.
Any revaluation surplus is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity in the asset revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in the income statement, in which case the increase is recognized in the income statement. A revaluation deficit is recognized in the
income statement, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognized in the asset revaluation reserve.
Any gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.
Accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.
3.4.2. Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
3.4.3. 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.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic life. Depreciation is generally recognized in profit or loss, unless the amount is included in the carrying amount of another asset. 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.
Capital expenditure incurred in relation to fixed assets which are not completed as at the reporting date are shown as capital work-in-progress and is stated at cost. On completion, the related assets are transferred to property, plant and equipment. Depreciation on capital work-in-progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

3.5. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
3.5.1. Goodwill
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at initial recognition in accordance with Note 3.1.1.
3.5.1.1. Subsequent Measurement
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity accounted investee.
3.5.2 Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
3.5.3 Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
3.5.4. Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:
Class of Assets Useful Lifetime (Years)
Computer Software 5 years Trade License 10 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual value are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
3.6. Biological assets
Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell, with any change therein recognized in profit or loss. Costs to sell include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets, including transportation costs.
Biological assets are classified as mature biological assets and immature biological assets. Mature biological assets are those that have attained harvestable specifications or are able to sustain regular harvests. Immature biological assets are those that have not yet attained harvestable specifications. Managed Timber, Tea, rubber, other plantations and nurseries are classified as biological assets.
Biological assets are further classified as bearer biological assets and consumable biological assets.
Bearer biological asset includes tea and trees, those that are not intended to be sold or harvested, however used to grow for harvesting agricultural produce from such biological assets.
Consumable biological assets includes managed timber those that are to be harvested as agricultural produce or sold as biological assets. The Group recognizes the biological assets when, and only when, the entity controls the assets as a result of past event, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow to the entity and the fair value or cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
The managed timber is measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting periods at its fair value less cost to sell in terms of LKAS 41. The cost is treated as approximation to fair value of young plants as the Impact on biological transformation of such plants to price during this period is immaterial. The fair value of timber trees are measured using DCF method taking in to consideration the current market prices of timber, applied to expected timber content of a tree at the maturity by an independence professional valuer. All other assumptions are given in Note 13 to the financial statements.
The gain or loss arising on initial recognition of biological assets at fair value less cost to sell and from a change in fair value less cost to sell of biological assets are included in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.
3.7. Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont.)
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 47
payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and, except for investment property, the leased assets are not recognized in the Group’s statement of financial position.
3.8. Premium paid on Leasehold Land
The premium paid by the subsidiary for leasehold land represents prepaid rental charges which are amortized over 50 years, commencing from the second year of operation.
3.9. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the Inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Cost incurred in bringing inventories to the present location and condition is recognized as follows.
• RawMaterial-Atcostdeterminedatthefactoryonweighted average cost method
• FinishedGoods-Atfactorycostofdirectmaterials,direct labor and appropriate proportion of fixed production overheads at normal operating capacity.
• Goodsintransit-Attheactualcost
• PackingMaterial-Atcostdeterminedatthefactoryon weighted average cost method
• HarvestedCrops–Inventoryofharvestedcropsoldhas been valued at realized price. Unsold harvested crop have been valued at estimated realizable value net of direct selling expenses. This basis has been adopted to recognize the profit/loss on perennial crops in the financial period of harvesting.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
3.10. Impairment
3.10.1. Financial assets
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future Cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables and held-to-maturity investment securities that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables and held to-maturity investment securities with similar risk characteristics.
Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognized causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
3.10.2. Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than biological assets, investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets.
For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the group of CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. This allocation is subject to an operating segment ceiling test and reflects
Notes To The Financial Statements
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/1848
the lowest level at which that goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
3.11. Employee benefits
3.11.1. Defined contribution plan-Gratuity
A defined benefit plan is a post- employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defied benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior period; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
The retirement benefit obligation of the Group is based on the actuarial valuation using Projected Unit Credit (PUC) methods as recommended by Sri Lanka Accounting Standards (LKAS 19) Employee Benefits. The calculation is performed by individual actuary using the projected unit credit method. The assumptions based on which the results of the actuarial valuation was determined, are included in Note 27 to the Financial Statements.
The Group recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from the defined benefit plans immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. The liability is disclosed under non – current liabilities in the statement of financial position and not externally funded.
However, as per the Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983 the liability to an employee arises only on completion of 5 years of continued services.
3.11.2. Defined benefit plan-Employee Provident Fund and Employee Trust Fund
All employees who are eligible for Employees Provident Fund contribution and Employees Trust Fund contribution are covered by relevant contribution funds in line with respective statutes and regulations. The Company contributes 12 % and 3% of gross emoluments of employees to Employees’ Provident Fund and Employees’ Trust Fund respectively.
3.12. Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group 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. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
3.13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Contingent Liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or present obligations where the transfer of economic benefits is not probable or cannot be reliably measured.
Capital Commitment and Contingent Liabilities of the Company and the Group are disclosed in the respective notes to the Financial Statements.
3.14. Events after the Reporting Period
The materiality of the events after the reporting period has been considered and appropriate adjustments and provisions have been made in the Financial Statements wherever necessary.
3.15. Revenue
3.15.1. Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Revenue is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont.)
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 49
3.15.2. Rental income
Rental income from investment property is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from subleased property is recognized as other income.
3.15.3. Export Sales
Export sales are recognized at the time of shipment.
3.15.4. Local Sales
Local sales are recognized at the time of dispatch.
3.16. Finance income and finance costs
Finance Income comprises interest income on funds invested recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.
Dividend income recognized when the right to receive the dividend is established.
3.17. Income tax
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
3.17.1. Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
3.17.2. 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 recognitionof 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 insubsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
• Taxable temporary differences arising on the initialrecognition of goodwill.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For investment property that is measured at fair value, the presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale has not been rebutted.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle 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.
3.18. Statement of Cash Flows
The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared using the “indirect method”.
Interest paid are classified as operating cash flows, interest received is classified as investing cash flows for the purpose of presenting Statement of Cash Flows.
3.19. Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted 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 period.
3.20. Related Party Transactions
Disclosure has been made in respect of the transactions in which one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies/decisions of the other, irrespective of whether a price is charged.
Notes To The Financial Statements
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/1850
3.21. Segment Reporting
Segment results that are to the group’s CEO (the Chief Operating decision maker) include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses and tax assets and liabilities.
3.22 Comparative Information
The comparative information is re-classified wherever necessary to conform with the current year’s presentation in order to provide a better presentation.
4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods.
When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
4.1. Biological assets
The fair value of immature timber plantations is based on the present value of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the plantation at maturity.
4.2. Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.
4.3. Equity and debt securities
The fair value of equity and debt securities is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date, or if unquoted, determined using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques employed include market multiples and discounted cash flow analysis using expected future cash flows and a market-related discount rate. The fair value of held-to-maturity investment is determined for disclosure purposes only.
4.4. Trade and other receivables
The fair values of trade and other receivables are estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date.
5. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT EFFECTIVE AS AT REPORTING DATE
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka has issued the following new Sri Lanka Accounting Standards which is not applicable for the current financial period.
Accordingly, these Standards have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.
5.1. SLFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
SLFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance LKAS 18 Revenue, LKAS 11 Construction Contracts.
SLFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting period beginning on or after 1st January 2017, with early adoption permitted. However, IASB has deferred the adoption of IFRS 15 which corresponds to SLFRS 15 to be adopted from financial reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018.
5.2. SLFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
The objective of this SLFRS is to establish principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows.
An entity shall apply this SLFRS to all items within the scope of LKAS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement. SLFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018, with early adoption permitted.
5.3. SLFRS 16 Leases
SLFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring leases to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value even though lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.
This supersedes: LKAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15 Operating Leases- Incentives; and SIC 27 evaluating the substance of Transactions Involving the Legal form of a Lease. Earlier application is permitted for entities that apply SLFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with customers.
SLFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The impact on the implementation of the above Standard has not been quantified yet.

Company
The gross carrying amount of fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use as at 31st March 2018 is Rs. 179,414,426. (2017 - Rs. 166,583,357/-).

Biological Assets as at 31st March 2018 consists of Ceylon Forestry (Pvt) Limited’s investments made for Teak and Mahogany Plants, Coco Lanka (Pvt) Ltd investments made on cashew and timber plants and Kandy Plantations Limited’s investment in Coconut Plant Nursery.
Kandy Plantations Limited
During the year, Kandy Plantations Limited has incurred a cost of Rs.7,373,231/- in planting a Coconut Nursery. The nursery is for inplant vacant areas of the plantation held by Kandy Plantations Limited.
The biological asset is carried at cost as at reporting date, since the nursery has just started its operations, and the expected useful life is estimated to be 2-3 years.
Ceylon Forestry (Private) Limited
The biological asset harvested is on the land owned by Ceylon Botanicals (Private) Limited (a subsidiary company of the group), for which rent has been paid by Ceylon Forestry (Private) Limited. The total extent of the land is 67 acres. The planted area is 42 acres. Number of Trees are 14,082.
Managed trees include commercial teak timber plantations cultivated on the estates in Matale. The cost of immature trees up to 5 years from planting are treated as approximate fair value particularly on the grounds of little biological transformation has taken place and impact of the biological transformation on price is not material.
When such plantation become mature, the additional investment since taken over to bring them to maturity are transferred from immature to mature.
The fair value of managed trees was ascertained in accordance with LKAS 41 - “Agriculture” which is applicable only for managed agricultural activity in terms of the ruling issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka. The Valuation was carried out by an independent Chartered Valuation Surveyor Mr. W.M. Chandrasena using discounted Cash Flows (DCF) method.
Valuation of biological assets are considered as a level III valuation, and details of the valuation are given below.

13.1 Key assumptions used in valuation are as follows
Variable Comment
Timber Content Estimated based on the girth, height and considering the growth and present age of the trees of each species in different geographical regions, factoring all the prevailing statutory regulations enforced against harvesting of timber coupled with forestry plan of the Company approved by the Forestry Department.
Economic Useful Life Estimated based on normal life span of each species by factoring the forestry plan of the Company approved by the Forestry Department
Selling Price Estimated based on prevailing Sri Lankan market prices factoring all the conditions to be fulfilled in bringing the trees in to salable condition.
Discount Rate Future cash flows are discounted at the rate of 13% (2017 - 13%)
Notes To The Financial Statements
RENUKA AGRI FOODS PLCANNUAL REPORT 2017/1858
The valuations, as presented in the external valuation models based on net present values, take into account the long-term exploitation of the timber plantation. Because of the inherent uncertainty associated with the valuation at fair value of the biological assets due to the volatility of the variables, their carrying value may differ from their realizable value. The Board of Directors retains their view that commodity markets are inherently volatile and that long-term price projections are highly unpredictable. Hence, the sensitivity analysis regarding selling price and discount rate variations as included in this note allows every investor to reasonably challenge the financial impact of the assumptions used in the LKAS 41 against his own assumptions.
Inter-relationship between key unobservable The estimated average future sales price of timber mayinputs and fair value measurement: increase or decrease within a +10% to -10% range. The risk-adjusted discount rate of 13% may stimulate an
increase or a decrease between the ranges +0.5% to -0.5%
13.2 Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitivity variation on sales price
Values as appearing in the Statement of Financial Position are very sensitive to price changes with regard to the average sales prices applied. Simulations made for timber, shows that an increase or a decrease by 10% of the estimated future selling price has the following effect on the net present value of biological assets:
Sensitivity variation on discount rate
Values as appearing in the Statement of Financial Position are very sensitive to changes of the discount rate applied. Simulations made for timber, shows that an increase or a decrease by 1% of the estimated discount rate has the following effect on the net present value of biological assets:

3. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient liquid funds to meet its financial obligations. In the management of liquidity risk, the Group monitor and maintain a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group aim at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping both committed and uncommitted credit lines available.
