CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
and created great momentum in this Sector that we are confident will benefit all stakeholders.
WE HAVE ESTABLISHEDA WINNING SPIRIT
The Financial Services Sector is now one of the largest contributors to both the top line and bottom line of the Group and epitomizes the investment successes that we have achieved at Softlogic by acquiring businesses and developing them in a way that enables the best value to be realized. In the Financial Services business it is mainly about getting the right people who have the passion to perform and we believe that we have now built teams of immense talent that have enabled us to gain great momentum in each of our businesses.
The Sri Lankan economy grew by 4.8% in 2015 compared with 4.9% in 2014 and despite this somewhat muted performance our Companies in the Sector performed quite well. Asian Alliance Insurance (AAI Life) recorded a top line of Rs 4.1Bn
for the year growing 25% compared with industry growth of 20%, whilst Asian Alliance General Insurance recorded top a line of Rs 1.6Bn growing by 7%. Softlogic Finance grew its loan book by 7.4% to reach Total Loans of Rs 15.3Bn whilst Total Assets were Rs 20.7Bn by March 2016. Softlogic Stockbrokers generated revenues of Rs 180Mn that was an increase of 20% compared with the previous year. Sri Lanka’s Per Capita GDP was USD 3,924 in 2015 and has increased from USD 3,853 in the previous year.
Total GDP of the Country was Rs 11,183Bn. The trade deficit for 2015 marginally increased by 2% to USD 8,430Mn with oil imports reducing by 43% compared with the previous year. The cumulative inflow from workers’ remittances decreased

marginally by 0.5% to USD 6,980Mn for 2015. The Sri Lankan Rupee depreciated by 9.25% during 2015 to close the year at USD/LKR 144.06 while interest rates trended upwards with benchmark 12month TB rate increasing to 7.11% and Bank Lending rates AWPR moving to 7.5% from 6.33% a year earlier. Sri Lanka’s economy is projected to expand at a rate of 5.8% in 2016, and strengthen over the medium term to achieve a higher growth trajectory of around 7%.
The Life Insurance industry delivered an overall GWP of Rs. 53,585Mn compared to the Rs. 44,652Mn of year 2014 with a growth of 20% which is promising compared with growth rates of 7% and 11% in the past years. Life penetration is yet very low at 0.46%, versus 0.48% last year and is below the regional average estimated at around 1.82%. We therefore believe that the industry has tremendous opportunities over the medium term.
The total GWP generated by General Insurance business amounted to Rs.67,381Mn in 2015 compared to Rs.58,439Mn in 2014, marking a 15% growth. The splitting process that was mandated during the year is likely to drive consolidation with a couple of key transactions already executed. This is mainly due to the fact that General Insurance premiums are considerably lower than the risk based rates with the consequential results quite evident across the industry.
Licensed Finance Companies (LFCs) and Specialised Leasing Companies (SLCs) Sector remained robust reflecting the increased level of economic activities. Total assets of the LFC/SLC sector expanded in 2015 at a higher pace with Total Assets growing 22.3% to Rs 181.6Bn. The growth of assets was largely supported by the increase in borrowings by 44.6% or Rs. 96.9Bn and deposits by 16.1% or Rs 66.5Bn. Funds mobilized were largely utilized in granting loans and advances. Throughout 2015, the sector experienced a strong demand for credit on vehicle leasing and other secured loans. Credit growth accelerated as indicated by loans and advances which robustly grew by 31.8% or Rs 192.1Bn to Rs. 795.8Bn at end 2015, compared to a growth of 15.8% or Rs 82.4Bn during 2014, due to high growth in other secured loans and finance leases. There was a steady growth in deposits as the sector continued to attract depositors due to relatively high deposit rates offered by LFCs compared to those of banks. Total deposits grew by 16.1% or Rs 66.5 billion to Rs 480.6Bn in 2015 at a lesser magnitude, compared to a 22.8% growth in 2014. The deposit mobilization was mainly through time deposits accounting for 95% of the total deposits.
The Colombo Stock Exchange recorded a sluggish performance under volatile movements in the price indices in 2015. The All Share Price Index (ASPI) declined by 5.5% to 6,894 points and S&P SL20 index declined by 11.3% to 3,626 points at end 2015. Increased investor uncertainty resulted in the daily average turnover of the CSE declining by 25.1% to
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE CONTD.
We are particularly pleased to report on the substantial progress that we have achieved in the Financial Services Sector of the Group. Revenues of the Sector were Rs 11.1Bn rising 12% from the previous year whilst PAT of the Sector crossed the Billion Rupee mark and was Rs 1.14Bn that shows an increase of 45% compared with last year.

Rs. 1,060Mn from Rs. 1,415Mn in 2014, reflecting moderate performances during the year. Foreign investors accounted for 28.1% of the total turnover. Cumulative foreign purchases amounted to Rs 85Bn, while cumulative foreign sales was Rs 90Bn, resulting in a net outflow from the market in 2015.
The year was a special one for the Sector in many ways. We received many awards and accolades for our performance. We won Asia’s most coveted “Innovation of the Year” award at the 19th Asian Insurance Awards held at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The award was on account of “innovation in eliminating the traditional accident claims process in motor insurance and for bringing revolutionary change to Sri Lanka’s motor Insurance Industry”. This was followed by the Insurance Gold award at the 12th Annual Business Excellence Awards conducted by the National Chamber of Commerce for the Company. Asian Alliance Insurance was also the only insurer to receive two Awards from Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka at Annual Report Awards 2015. Further, we were awarded the Bronze award at SLIM Brand Excellence. Softlogic Finance received a second Merit Award in their highly competitive section for the second year running.
We won Asia’s most coveted “Innovation of the Year” award at the 19th Asian Insurance Awards held at Marina Bay

I would like to place on record my appreciation to my colleagues on the Board and towards each of the Senior Management Teams and all staff at Asian Alliance Insurance, Softlogic Finance and Softlogic Stockbrokers for their commitment and dedication and towards the Sector’s continued success. We have established a winning spirit and created great momentum in this Sector that we are confident will benefit all stakeholders.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
the progress and achievements of the Financial Services Sector of the Group.
WE ARE INDEEDENCOURAGED TO SEE
It is with pleasure that we address all stakeholders of Softlogic Capital on the performance of the Company and the Financial Services Sector of the Softlogic Group for the year ended March 2016.
The highlights of the year were the following;
• Financial Services Sector Group profits crossed the Billion Rupee mark and were Rs. 1.14Bn, increasing by 45% compared with the previous year, whilst Total Revenue rose to Rs. 11.2Bn increasing by 12%,
• Asian Alliance Insurance recorded profit of Rs. 936Mn with Life Insurance recording a top line of Rs. 4.1Bn for the
year growing 34% whilst General Insurance recorded top a line of Rs. 1.6Bn growing by 15%,
• Softlogic Finance recorded PAT of Rs. 369Mn increasing by 73% whilst Total Assets of the Company were recorded at Rs. 20.7Bn,
• Softlogic Stockbrokers generated revenues of Rs. 180Mn that was an increase of 59% compared with the previous year, and was ranked No;2 in the market,
• Asian Alliance won a slew of top notch awards that included Asia’s “Innovation of the Year” for its Click2Claim Motor product, National Business Excellence Gold Award and was selected as one of the Top 25 Great Places to Work in Sri Lanka.
The Financial Services Sector contributed 16.7% to the top line of the Softlogic Group with revenues of Rs. 11.1Bn and more importantly contributed Rs. 1.1Bn to the bottom line of the Group making it one of the major investment successes that the Group has achieved.

We are indeed encouraged to see the progress and achievements of the Financial Services Sector of the Group since the Softlogic Group entered the Financial Services arena in the last quarter of 2010. Within a relatively short space of time we have completed these enviable acquisitions and gained significant momentum in each of the businesses that include Insurance, Finance & Leasing and Stockbroking.
All companies in the Sector are primed for good growth in the medium term and we are frankly very excited about the prospects for the future.
The year that passed saw the impact of two elections in the country with Presidential and then Parliamentary elections contributing a certain degree of uncertainty to the Sri Lankan economy. GDP grew by 4.8% in 2015 to Rs 11,183Bn for the year 2015, inflation rose grew by 2.0% from 0.1% in March 2015, and key measures such as benchmark 12month TB rate rose to 7.11% from 6.00% whilst AWPR moved to 7.5% from 6.33% a year earlier. There was an impact on the foreign reserves of the country that reduced by approximately 11% to USD 7.3Bn and the USD/LKR exchange rate closed the year at 144.06 , depreciating by 9.25% YoY. The business confidence index as measured by LMD was at 157 compared with 142 at the beginning of the year.
The Life Insurance industry has seen a significant shift in momentum over the past quarters with industry growth for 2015 recorded at 20%, whilst growth for the first quarter of 2016 was 23%. Asian Alliance Life is riding the crest of this wave and recorded Gross Written Premiums (GWP) of Rs. 4.1Bn in 2015 that was an increase of 34%, and continued strongly into the first quarter of 2016 with GWP of Rs. 1.4Bn, growing 64%. Our focus on Life insurance has been the protection platform coupled with health, where we see tremendous potential for further growth. Average policy value of the Company was at Rs. 90,679- which we expect to be double of the industry. Our unique sales and relationship management model brings in persistency rates of First Year at 82%, Second Year at 64% and Third Year at 53% that are highest in the industry. We see further potential for Life insurance related to Investment products and other Health products and will be launching quite heavily into these areas shortly. The Appraisal Value of Asian Alliance Life Insurance PLC has steadily increased reflecting the profitable portfolio of the Company and as at end 2015 was Rs. 11.8Bn with Volume of New Business (VONB) recorded at Rs. 352Mn.
The General Insurance industry continues to see challenges brought on by an over-crowded market place with intense price competition where risk related pricing has been greatly ignored. At Asian Alliance General we made a strategic
Softlogic Finance’s decision to strategically change focus away from the extremely competitive Leasing and Hire Purchase products and instead focus on SME Working Capital financing has been well implemented and brought about a significant improvement to the bottom line of the company.

decision to move away from high value, low margin business at the beginning of 2015 and only retain minimum risk on any corporate business that continued on our books. This has stood us well and we have not been affected by flood claims and damage that was experienced recently. We also strategically moved to Retail business and focused on Motor where we developed Asia’s Innovation of the Year – Click2Claim, that has resulted in Motor volumes growing to Rs. 1,247Mn by end 2015, with a further first quarter growth in 2016 of 80% to Rs. 406Mn. Our other key focus is Health Insurance where we leverage our group synergies with Asiri Hospitals.
Softlogic Finance’s decision to strategically change focus away from the extremely competitive Leasing and Hire Purchase products and instead focus on SME Working Capital financing has been well implemented and brought about a significant improvement to the bottom line of the Company. These loans now comprise 42% of the loan book of the Company with Leasing/HP constituting 11%. The Company has successfully grown its Customer Deposits franchise to Rs 13.6Bn, recording a growth of 13.6% which amply demonstrates the public confidence in the Company and the Softlogic Group. The cost income ratio of the Company has stabilized to 54.8% with a host of measures launched to rationalize cost and enhance income. There are a lot of efforts underway to address the relatively high NPL ratio arising from the legacy Leasing/HP portfolio. The Company has rationalized resources and expanded its branch network to 30 branches and locations by the financial year-end.

Corporate Governance 28Board Sub Committee Reports 41
Our promise to accountable and translucent governance is reflected here.
2828
“Corporate governance involves a set of relationships between
a company’s management, its board, its shareholders and
other stakeholders. Corporate governance also provides the
structure through which the objectives of the Company are set,
and the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring
performance are determined.”(OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, 2nd Edition, 2004)
Governance Framework
Softlogic Capital has a well-defined and well-structured corporate governance framework in place to support the Board’s aim of achieving long term and sustainable shareholder value. But however robust the framework, it is imperative that it is supported by the right culture, values and behaviors, both at the top and throughout the entire organisation.
The Company places strong emphasis on complying with the requirements of the Code of Best Practices on Corporate Governance Code jointly issued by the Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CASL) as well as the rules on Corporate Governance issued by the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). Although the organization monitors its compliance with these mandatory requirements, our corporate governance process is intensified further as a system of checks and
balances in order to ensure that the Company’s sound corporate governance practices are in the best interests of all our stakeholders and the organisation as a whole.
The Company’s approach to manage financial and non-financial issues ensures the alignment of Company objectives with the long-term interests of its stakeholders. This creates an environment where every transaction with every stakeholder can be seen as an opportunity to support the sustainable development of the economy in which the Company operates.
Our corporate governance framework is structured in a manner which reflects both the governing body and the system in which it operates. While it is closely connected to the assignment of rights and responsibilities across the organization and other partners, the framework strives to provide challenge, clarity and accountability to all stakeholders.

Global Economy
Global growth, currently estimated at 3.1 percent in 2015 is projected to reach 3.4 percent in 2016 and 3.6 percent in 2017 respectively.
Recent Developments
In 2015 global economic activity remained subdued. Growth in emerging markets and developing economies, while still accounting for over 70 percent of global growth, declined for the fifth consecutive year while a modest recovery continued in advanced economies. Three key transitions continue to influence the global outlook:
• the gradual slowdown and rebalancing of economic activity in China, away from investment and manufacturing toward consumption and services
• lower prices for energy and other commodities, and
• a gradual tightening in monetary policy in the United States in the context of a resilient U.S. recovery, as several other major advanced economy central banks continue to ease monetary policy.
Advanced Economies
Growth in advanced economies is projected to rise by 0.2 percentage points in 2016 to 2.1 percent and hold steady in 2017. Overall activity remains resilient in the United States, supported by still-easy financial conditions and strengthening housing and labor markets, but with dollar strength weighing on manufacturing activity and lower oil prices curtailing investment in mining structures and equipment. In the euro area, stronger private consumption supported by lower oil prices and easy financial conditions is outweighing a weakening in net exports. Growth in Japan is also expected
to firm in 2016, on the back of fiscal support, lower oil prices, accommodative financial conditions, and rising incomes.
Emerging Market and Developing Economies
Growth in emerging market and developing economies is projected to increase from 4 percent in 2015, the lowest since the 2008–09 financial crisis, to 4.3 and 4.7 percent in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
• Growth in China is expected to slow to 6.3 percent in 2016 and 6.0 percent in 2017, primarily reflecting weaker investment growth as the economy continues to rebalance. India and the rest of emerging Asia are generally projected to continue growing at a robust pace, although with some countries facing strong headwinds from China’s economic rebalancing and global manufacturing weakness.
• Aggregate GDP in Latin America and the Caribbean is now projected to contract in 2016 as well albeit at a lower rate than in 2015, despite positive growth in most countries in the region. This reflects the recession in Brazil and other countries in economic distress.
• Higher growth is projected for the Middle East, but lower oil prices, and in some cases geopolitical tensions and domestic strife, continue to weigh on the outlook.
• Emerging Europe is projected to continue growing at a broadly steady pace, although with some slowing in 2016. Russia, which continues to adjust to low oil prices and Western sanctions, is expected to remain in recession in 2016.
• Most countries in sub-Saharan Africa will see a gradual pickup in growth, but with lower commodity prices to rates that are lower than those seen over the past decade.

from 53.3 percent in 2014, with increased participation of rural sector females in the labour force. Labourproductivity increased during 2015, with positive contributions from all three sectors of the economy.
Meanwhile, a sharp decline of 12.4 per cent was observed in the total number of departures for foreign employment, which could partly be attributed to escalated geo-political tensions and the slowdown of economic activity in the Middle East. This had an impact on the unemployment rate as well as the labour force participation rate.

Interest Rate
Benefitting from relatively relaxed monetary conditions, market interest rates remained low during 2015 although some upward movements were witnessed intermittently. With the removal of restrictions placed on the access to Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) in March 2015, overnight interest rates, which had remained below the SDFR, moved upwards and settled within the policy rate corridor close to the lower bound. At the same time, excessive increase in some interest rates, including yields on government securities, was observed in the aftermath of the removal of restrictions placed on the SDF. This trend was dampened by the reduction in policy rates of the Central Bank in April 2015. However, with the decline in market liquidity levels, a gradual upward adjustment in overnight interest rates was observed since August 2015. Meanwhile, retail interest rates remained low during 2015, although some increase was witnessed toward the end of the year. With the Central Bank’s decision to raise SRR with effect from January 2016 and the increase in policy interest rates in February 2016, market interest rates increased further in the first quarter of 2016

Inflation
Inflation, based on CCPI (2006/07=100), remained below mid-single digit levels, supported by the downward adjustment of prices of several key consumer items, favourable supply side developments in the domestic and international markets, and well contained inflation expectations. Headline inflation, as measured by the year-on-year change of CCPI, declined sharply from 3.2 per cent in January 2015 to 0.6 per cent in February 2015, with the price revisions introduced in the Interim Budget for 2015. Year-on-year Inflation remained below 1 per cent thereafter until September 2015, while recording

negative inflation during July - September 2015. Inflation picked up in the fourth quarter of 2015, and recorded 2.8 per cent by end 2015. Annual average headline inflation declined from 3.3 per cent in 2014 to 0.9 per cent in 2015.
Inflation
External Sector Developments
The performance of Sri Lanka’s external sector reflected the impact of the changing global economic environment as well as a number of developments in the domestic economy.
The deficit in the trade account expanded by 1.7 per cent in 2015 in nominal terms, although as a percentage of GDP, it declined marginally. Despite the slowdown in expenditure on imports, the greater decline in exports resulted in the expansion of the trade deficit in 2015. Accordingly, the trade deficit expanded to US dollars 8,430 million in 2015 from US dollars 8,287 million recorded in 2014. Nevertheless, as a percentage of GDP, the deficit in the trade balance declined marginally to 10.2 percent in 2015 from 10.4 per cent in 2014.
Earnings from exports which grew at a healthy rate in 2014, contracted by 5.6 per cent in 2015 reflecting the decline across all major export categories. The decline in international commodity prices, the slower pace of growth in advanced economies, geopolitical uncertainties in many of Sri Lanka’s key export destinations, and restrictions by the European Union (EU) on fish imports from Sri Lanka contributed to the substantial reduction in export earnings.
The BOP, which recorded an overall surplus in 2014, registered a deficit in 2015 largely due to lower than expected inflows to the financial account. In 2015, the BOP recorded an overall deficit of US dollars 1,489 million in comparison to the surplus of US dollars 1,369 million in 2014. Consequently, Sri Lanka’s gross official reserves declined to US dollars 7.3 billion at end

Exchange Rate
In early September 2015, the Central Bank decided to allow greater flexibility in the determination of the exchange rate. Lower than expected inflows to the current and financial accounts, high volume of foreign exchange outflows on account of increased imports, debt service payments and the reversal of foreign investments from the government securities market exerted a substantial pressure on the domestic foreign exchange market.
The Sri Lankan rupee has depreciated by 6.64%, resulting in an overall depreciation of 9.03% against the USD during the year up to 31st December 2015, subsequent to the decision of the Central Bank to accommodate greater flexibility in the determination of the exchange rate. The exchange rate remains under pressure owing to an increase in demand for USD by importers whilst exporters remain reluctant to convert their positions.
Over the year, based on cross currency exchange rate movements, the Sri Lankan Rupee has appreciated against the Australian Dollar by 2.42% and the Euro by 1.30%, while depreciating against the Japanese Yen by 8.20%, the Pound Sterling by 4.46% and the Indian Rupee by 4.62% during this period.
Global Economic Outlook 2016
The volatility of the global economic environment posed several challenges to Sri Lanka during 2015 and these are expected to persist in 2016. With the continued decline in global oil prices, the stagnating growth in Middle Eastern countries negatively affected workers’ remittances and tea exports, which are key sources of foreign exchange.

is expected to continue to impact remittances and future job prospects of Sri Lankan migrant workers. Further, the stagnating growth momentum of economies which have been Sri Lanka’s traditional sources of tourism, e.g. Europe, Russia and China, may cause a decline in tourist earnings in the coming year, despite the significant growth observed in 2015. During the year, as observed across all emerging markets, there was a significant unwinding of investments from the domestic government securities market, on expectations of the monetary policy normalisation of the US Federal Reserve. Subsequent to the interest rate hike in December 2015 by the Federal Reserve and on expectations of further hikes in 2016, it is expected that this trend will continue. In addition, Sri Lanka may have to incur higher levels of interest payments on foreign loans that had been obtained on a variable rate basis by the government, state owned enterprises (SOEs) and the private sector. Global uncertainties caused by factors such as the weakened pace of global economic growth and geopolitical developments may affect FDIs to the country, both directly and through spillover effects, particularly from China and its major commodity trading partner countries, and from the Middle East.
Sri Lankan Medium Term Macroeconomic Outlook
Sri Lanka’s economy is projected to expand at a rate of 5.8 per cent in 2016, and strengthen over the medium term to achieve a higher growth trajectory of around 7 per cent. The envisaged
growth path is expected to be attained with the improvement in investor sentiments. Further, the new policy initiatives of the government to spur growth across all major sectors of the economy and increase private sector participation through the creation of an investor friendly environment are also expected to contribute to the growth trajectory of the economy over the medium term.
Positive developments in the domestic and global economies, coupled with recent policy initiatives, are expected to result in a favorable outlook for the external sector over the medium term. The decline in the current account deficit is expected to be largely driven by the improvement in trade in goods and services.
The medium term fiscal strategy of the government will focus on strengthening the fiscal consolidation process, by maintaining the budget deficit and public debt at a sustainable level, conducive to the broad based development objective of enhancing the living standards of the people.
The conduct of monetary policy in the medium term will focus on maintaining inflation in midsingle digit levels while facilitating the economy to realise its potential. In this pursuit, the Central Bank would conduct its monetary policy within an enhanced monetary policy framework, aligned towards a flexible inflation targeting (FIT) framework, which focuses on both price stability and economic stability Key Economic

Overview of the Sri Lankan Financial Services Sector
In 2015, the financial sector showed improved performance, reflecting the underlying economic performance and supportive prudential regulatory measures which has led to further strengthening of the financial system stability of the country. The improved performance was reflected in leading indicators of financial institutions, financial markets and payment and settlement systems.
As regards the financial institutions, the banking sector total assets increased by 15.9 percent in 2015, against the 17.3 percent growth in 2014, to record Rs. 8.1 trillion at the end of the year, while the off-balance sheet exposure showed a growth of 8.1 per cent to reach Rs. 3.4 trillion.
During the year, domestic financial markets operated with relatively high volatility consequent to monetary and balance of payment conditions emanating partly from global developments. The domestic money market recorded a gradual decline in excess rupee liquidity to Rs. 105 billion at the end of 2015 from Rs. 331 billion in 2014 and the weighted average call money market rate behaved in the range of 5.80 –
7.00 per cent range in 2015 compared to 5.72 – 7.68 per cent range in 2014.
The domestic foreign exchange market recorded decreased volumes where the excess volatility in the exchange rate of the rupee against the US dollar was stabilised through normal intervention supported by foreign reserves. However, increased demand for US dollar, and subsequent to the policy decision in September 2015 to accommodate greater flexibility to the market in determination of exchange rate, the rupee depreciated by about 9.0 per cent against the US dollar.
In the government securities market, the benchmark yield rate on 364 - day Treasury bills increased by 130 basis points at the end of 2015 from end 2014 as a result of substantial withdrawals of investments in Treasury bills and bonds by foreigners and also due to the increase of the Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR) by 150 basis points in December 2015.
In the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), the all share price index declined 5.5 per cent to 6,894 points by end 2015 from 7,299 points in 2014 while market capitalisation dropped by 5.4 per cent to Rs. 2.9 trillion at the year end.
The Sri Lankan insurance industry depicts a highly dynamic atmosphere with escalated tension existing amongst 29 industry players. Out of these Insurance Companies (Insurers) registered with the Insurance Board of Sri Lanka (IBSL), 04 are composite companies (dealing in both Long Term and General

Life Insurance Industry
The industry delivered overall GWP of Rs. 54 billion in the Life Insurance business compared to the Rs. 45 billion in 2014 showing an impressive growth of 20% compared to 9% reported in 2014.The main contributor for the GWP is the premium income generated from the renewal GWP which is Rs. 33 billion, and first-year new business GWP of Rs. 13 billion, which accounts of 86% of GWP of the Life Insurance industry and recorded a growth of 13% and 30% respectively.
The growth of new business was mainly driven by different underwriting and product strategies, where companies focused on products coupled with investments, savings, and retirements.
The renewal premium has continued to maintain its dominance by contributing 61% to the total life premium while First Year GWP contributed 25%.
In 2015, the five insurance companies which claimed the top five positions in terms of market share in the Long Term Insurance business collectively accounted for 81% of the total industry GWP (2014: 82%) which indicates a marginal decrease.
General Insurance Industry
General Insurance recorded a GWP amounting to Rs. 67 billion in 2015, which is a 15% growth rate compared to GWP Rs. 58 billion in 2014. This high growth rate was mainly driven by the Motor Insurance industry, which recorded an impressive growth of 19% due to growth in vehicle imports. Non-motor market segment reported a 9% growth mainly from increase in demand for Medical Insurance. This was further strengthened with the expansion in the branch network of insurance companies.

Gross and net NPLs ratios decreased to 5.7 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, in 2015 from 6.9 per cent and 2.3 per cent, respectively, in 2014, mainly due to higher growth of loan portfolio. Meanwhile, the increase in NPLs of Rs. 3.3 billion in 2015 was not significant when compared to 7.1 billion in 2014.
• Market Risk - The LFC/SLC sector continued to experience a minimal market risk due to the lower exposure to trading portfolio and foreign currency transactions. Also, interest rate risk decreased mainly due to low interest rate environment prevailed during the year, which resulted in an improved margin due to the negative mismatch in the maturity profile of interest bearing assets and liabilities of the sector.

The macro environment had an impact on the business, particularly with rapidly decreasing interest rates, regulatory changes such as segregation of the composite company, RBC implementation and other investment opportunities.

The Life Insurance segment was the main contributor for GWP by contributing 69% in year 2015/16, which was an increase of 45% from the year 2015/16. General insurance contributed 31% to the consolidated GWP.
The Life Insurance business recorded GWP of Rs. 4,644million while the General Insurance arm concluded the year with an increased GWP of Rs. 2,054 million which marks an increase of 18%.
Critical Success Factors for GWP Sustainable Growth
The continued strong growth in GWP is as a result of strategic investments made over the years in terms of developing innovative products which appeal for their customer value proposition, multiple distribution channels and maintaining effective pricing discipline with improved technology, and structured training of the sales force together with exceptional management strategy.
Net Earned Premium (NEP)
In the year 2015/16, the AAI’s net earned premium surpassed the Rs. 5 billion mark, recording a notable 35% growth from the Rs. 4,235 million in 2014/15. Main contributor for NEP was the Life Insurance segment which accounted for 72% and General Insurance accounts for 28%.
The Life segment contributed Rs.4,118 million to the earned premium as against the contribution of Rs. 2,854 million in 2014/15 which was 44% and exceed the GWP growth mainly due to the savings derived from the restructuring of the reinsurance arrangements. This significant achievement was predominantly due to GWP growth and customized reinsurance arrangements in both Life and General Insurance businesses of the Company.
The General Insurance segment of the Company was able to increase net earned premium to Rs. 1,615 million with a growth of 17%, which is in line with the GWP growth due to the higher business volume recorded in Motor Insurance which had minimum reinsurance exposure. The unearned premium reserve is adjusted in arriving at General Insurance NEP to reflect unexpired risk period.
Insurance Claims and Benefits

During the year, Group’s net claimed expenses of Rs.2,034 million as the insurance claims which showed an increase of 16% compared to the year 2014/15.

The cost of underwriting and net acquisition had increased to Rs.1,361 million, which is a 53% increase compared to the year 2014/15. The increase in net acquisition cost was mainly due to growth in new businesses attracted by both Life and General Insurance.
It is noted that costs from Life Insurance, accounting for 72 % of the total NEP, was the key reason for the growth in underwriting and net acquisition costs. This trend however, is on par with the insurance industry, where the higher acquisition costs in Life Insurance is a normal phenomenon due to the high commissions paid to intermediaries and the nature of the business model.
The Company was able to control its acquisition cost in relation to GWP mainly due to the exceptional growth in new business premium in the Life Insurance segment.

SECTOR ANALYSIS CONTD.
NON BANKING FINANCIAL INSTITUTION SECTOR
With regard to Interest Income growth, a significant year-on-year increase in disbursements of 21% served as a key contributor. More specifically, the 53% year-on-year increase in SME working capital loan disbursements played a vital role in interest income and fee income growth and served as a testament to the effectiveness of the proactive strategies adopted by the management in shifting towards business financing from leasing and hire purchase, in order to weather industry volatility. In comparison to the previous financial year, it is noteworthy that the contributions to Interest Income increased by 13% from the Personal Loan portfolio by 32% from the Gold Loan portfolio and by 157% from the SME loan Portfolio.
Interest Cost Analysis
During the year under review, the Company was successful in effectively managing its interest expenses and actually reducing its interest cost burden by 3%, when compared to the previous financial year. The Company took advantage of the relatively low interest regime that existed for most of the financial year and focused on fixed deposits and bank borrowings as funding tools. In this predominantly low interest climate that existed, the Company was able to rationalise and carefully manage its fixed deposit costs.
Moreover, the Company made a conscious decision to reduce its Commercial Paper portfolio as it entailed a higher interest cost. Additionally, steps were taken to further manage interest expenses by effecting the conversion of USD 2 million of the FMO loan to equity and not undertaking any high interest securitisations during the year. Moreover, as a result of the low interest regime that prevailed for most of the financial year, the Company was able to negotiate with banks and obtain low interest credit lines.
Total Operating Income
As a result of increases in total revenue and the effective management of interest expenses, the Company was able to record a 12% increase in Total Operating Income before impairment.
Net Operating Income (After Impairment)
For the year under review, the impairment charge decreased by 22% to Rs. 405 million from the previous financial year’s charge of Rs. 522 million. This was as a result of the adoption of effective recovery strategies and the improved quality of credit disbursed. Thus, this resulted in a 25% increase in Net Operating Income after Impairment to Rs. 1.7 billion from the Rs. 1.4 billion recorded in 2014/15.
Cost Management
During the financial year under review, the Company was able to effectively manage its operational expenses. Thus, when compared to the previous year, Operating Expenses only increased by 8%. When analysing the composition of Operating Expenses, it is seen that Other Operating Expenses constitute 51% of total Operating Expenses and consist of administrative, marketing, maintenance and professional expenses, among others. Continuous action was taken to streamline and re-engineer internal processes, minimise wastage, renegotiate contractual terms with vendors and execute various cost saving initiatives in order to manage these costs. The result being that the Company was able to increase its efficiencies and productivity, while containing its cost exposure.
As a result of the cost saving initiatives adopted during the year, the Cost-to-Income Ratio reduced to 56% for this financial year, compared to the previous year’s figure of 58%. This reduction occurred as the Total Operating Income for this financial year increased by 12%, compared to the previous year, while the Total Operating Expenses increased by only 8%, compared to the previous year.

Lending Portfolio

During the year, in line with the Company’s strategic decision to focus on business financing and decrease dependency upon the traditional Leasing & Hire Purchase products, the Business Loans portfolio grew by 28% to reach Rs. 11.6 billion.
Therefore, when analysing the Company’s portfolio mix, it is seen that the contribution from the Business Loans Portfolio has been significantly increasing. Additionally, the net Gold Loans Portfolio grew by a healthy 53% during the year, as a result of the Company’s re-engineering of its Gold Loan operations by improving the internal processes and controls in place.
Liquidity
The Company was able to maintain healthy liquid asset levels right throughout the year in excess of the minimum regulatory liquidity requirements. Liquid assets were maintained in the form of cash and cash equivalents, government securities, repos and bank deposits. With the relatively low interest regime that existed for a better part of the financial year, the Company decided to aggressively mobilise retail deposits and negotiate bank credit lines. This helped the Company lower

This move has a positive effect on liquidity, with cash reserves improving. At the end of the 2015/16 financial year, in addition to unutilised credit lines worth Rs. 750 million, the Company’s liquid assets stood at Rs. 651 million in excess of the minimum regulatory level, compared to the previous year’s excess liquid asset level of Rs. 569 million.
Funding
Even in the context of the low interest rate environment that existed for the most part of the financial year, the Company was able to grow its public deposits portfolio by 14% from Rs. 12.4 billion to Rs. 14.1 billion. The Company made a strategic decision to focus on retail deposits and move away from institutional deposits, as they entailed a higher cost. Further, it was also decided to reduce its focus on commercial papers, as they too carried a higher cost. Bank borrowings had increased by 82% at the end of this financial year when compared to the previous year, as the Company decided to take advantage of the relatively low interest regime and obtain additional credit lines from banks. Overall, when looking at the Company’s funding mix, it is seen that the Company’s reliance on public deposits has comparatively increased to 77%, signifying the Company’s ability to draw in public funds, based on the trust the customers have on the Company.

The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the group’s accounting policies.
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
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 recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised 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. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Softlogic Finance PLC (SFPLC), Asian Alliance Insurance PLC (AAIC), Asian Alliance General Insurance LTD (AAGI), Softlogic Stockbrokers (Pvt) Ltd (SSB) & Capital Reach Portfolio Management (Pvt) Ltd (CRPM) have been included in the consolidated financial statements using an acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly consolidated financial statements include the results of SFPCL, AAIC, SSB & CRPM for the year ended 31st March 2016.
2.1.5 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.
2.1.6 Foreign currency translation
(a) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. 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 recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
8282
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within ‘finance income or cost’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within ‘other (losses)/gains - net’.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in other comprehensive income.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments
The Group’s consolidated financial statements and its financial result are influenced by accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and management judgement, which necessarily have to be made in the course of preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. All estimates and assumptions required in conformity with SLFRS are best estimates undertaken in accordance with the applicable standard.
Estimates and judgements are evaluated on a continuous basis, and are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations with regard to future events. Accounting policies and management’s judgements for certain items are especially critical for the Group’s results and financial situation due to their materiality.
a. Impairment losses on loans and advances
The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at each reporting date. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the consolidated income
statement, the Group makes judgements as to whether there is any observable data indicating an impairment trigger followed by measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease can be identified with that portfolio.
This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in the Group or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the Group. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows.
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
b. Impairment of available-for-sale equity investments
The Group determines that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates among other factors, the volatility in share price. In addition, objective evidence of impairment may be deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows.
Had all the declines in fair value below cost been considered significant or prolonged, the Group would have recognized an additional loss in its consolidated financial statements.
c. Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial instruments where no active market exists or where quoted prices are not otherwise available are determined by using valuation techniques. In these cases, the fair values are estimated from observable data in respect of similar financial instruments or using models. Where market observable inputs are not available, they are estimated based on appropriate assumptions.

d. Held-to-maturity investments
In accordance with LKAS 39 guidance, the Group classifies some non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group were to fail to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity – the Group is required to reclassify the entire category as Available for Sale. Accordingly, the investments would be measured at fair value instead of amortized cost.
e. Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
f. Income Tax
The Group is subject to income taxes and other taxes. Significant judgment was required to determine the total provision for current, deferred and other taxes.
g. Useful life-time of the Property, plant and equipment
The Group reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of assets at each reporting date. Judgment of the management estimate these values, rates, methods and hence they are subject to uncertainty.
h. Fair value of Land and Buildings
Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment losses are recognised after the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed every two years to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. The Valuation was carried out by Mr. P.B Kalugalagedara, Chartered Valuation Surveyor.
i. Defined Benefit Plans
The cost of defined benefit plans are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates etc. Refer Note No 2.3.15 to understand how these rates have been determined.
j. Valuation of Insurance Contract Liabilities – Life Insurance
The valuation of the Long Term insurance business as at 31 March 2016 was carried out by the Consultant Actuary.
All Life Insurance contracts are subject to the Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) as required by SLFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts. The LAT was carried out by Mr. John C. Vieren, FSA MAA, of Messrs. Pinnacle Consulting Group Ltd. Hong - Kong.
k. Valuation of Insurance Contract liabilities – General Insurance
For General Insurance contracts, estimates have to be made both for the expected ultimate cost of claims reported at the Reporting Date and for the expected ultimate cost of claims incurred, but not yet reported, at the Reporting Date (IBNR). It can take a significant period of time before the ultimate claims cost can be established with certainty. The main assumption underlying estimating the amounts of outstanding claims is the past claims development experience. Large claims are usually separately addressed, either by being reserved at the face value of loss adjuster estimates or separately projected in order to reflect their future development. In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made regarding future rates of claims inflation or loss ratios. All General Insurance contracts are subject to a Liability Adequacy Test (LAT). The LAT was carried out by Messrs. NMG Consulting Pte Ltd, Singapore.
l. Deferred Acquisition Cost (DAC)
An impairment review is performed on DAC at each Reporting Date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement. No such indication of impairment was experienced during the year.
8484
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
DAC is derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies
2.3.1 Property, plant & equipment
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
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 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 income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to other comprehensive income and shown as other reserves in shareholders’ equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against other reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement, and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from ‘other reserves’ to ‘retained earnings’.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings 20 Years
Building improvements 5 Years
Furniture and fittings 10 Years / 5 Years
Computers and printers 5 Years
Office equipment 5 Years
Motor vehicles 4 Years
Office equipment on lease 5 Years
Motor vehicles on lease 4 Years
Furniture and fittings on lease 6.6Years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within ‘Other (losses)/gains – net’ in the income statement.
When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in other reserves are transferred to retained earnings.
2.3.2 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other longterm payables. The
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
85
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
85
interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.
2.3.3 Intangible assets
a. Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
b. Trademarks and licenses
Separately acquired trademarks and licenses are shown at historical cost. Trademarks and licenses acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trademarks and licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licenses over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives which does not exceed five years.
c. Computer software
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
• management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
• there is an ability to use or sell the software product;
• it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;
• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and
• the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed five years.
d. Present Value of acquired in-force long term Insurance Business (PVIB)
The present value of future profits on a portfolio of long term life insurance contracts as at the acquisition date of Asian Alliance Insurance PLC is recognized as an intangible asset based on a valuation carried out by an independent actuary.
8686
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the intangible asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
The PVIB is amortized over the average useful life of the related contracts in the portfolio. The amortization charge and any impairment losses would be recognized in the consolidated income statement as an expense.
A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows:

2.3.4 Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). Prior impairments of non-financial assets (other than goodwill) are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
2.3.5 Financial assets and liabilities
In accordance with LKAS 39, all financial assets and liabilities – which include derivative financial instruments – have to be recognised in the statement of financial position and measured in accordance with their assigned category.
2.3.5.1 Financial assets
The Company allocates financial assets to the following LKAS 39 categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans and receivables; held-to-maturity investments; and available-for-sale financial assets. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial instruments included in this category are recognized initially at fair value; transaction costs are taken directly to the income statement. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included directly in the income statement and are reported as ‘Net gains/(losses) on financial instruments classified as held for trading’. Interest income and expense and dividend income and expenses on financial assets held for trading are included in ‘Net interest income’ or ‘Dividend income’, respectively. The instruments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and the transfer qualifies for derecognising.
Financial assets for which the fair value option is applied are recognized in the statement of financial position as ‘Financial assets designated at fair value’. Fair value changes relating to financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in ‘Net gains on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss’.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than:
• those that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the short term, which are classified as held for trading, and those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss;
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
87
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
87
• those that the Group upon initial recognition designates as available- for- sale; or
• those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration.
Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value – which is the cash consideration to originate or purchase the loan including any transaction costs – and measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables are reported in the statement of financial position as loans and advances to banks or customers or as investment securities. Interest on loans is included in the income statement and is reported as ‘Interest and similar income’. In the case of impairment, the impairment loss is reported as a deduction from the carrying value of the loan and recognised in the income statement as ‘Loan impairment charges.
They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.
(c) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, other than:
• those that the Group upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss;
• those that the Group designates as available for sale; and
• those that meet the definition of loans and receivables.
These are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs and measured subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Interest on held-to-maturity investments is included in the statement of comprehensive income statement and reported as ‘Interest and similar income’. In the case of an impairment, the impairment loss is been reported as a deduction from the carrying value of the investment and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement as ‘Net gains/(losses) on investment securities’.
(d) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale investments are financial assets that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, or equity prices or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to- maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are initialy recognised at fair value, which is the cash consideration including any transaction costs, and measured subsequently at fair value with gains and losses being recognised as a part of equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognised. If an available-for-sale financial asset is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive income is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement. However, interest is calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign currency gains and losses on monetary assets classified as available for sale are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement in ‘Dividend income’ when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
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.
2.3.5.2 ReclassificationofFinancialassets
The Group may reclassify financial assets within the frame work of LKAS 39 at the election of management.
01) Reclassify FVTPL financial assets other than those designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition, only in limited circumstances as per para 50B or 50D of LKAS 39 Out of the FVTPL category and into the available for sale, loans and receivable or held to maturity.
02) As per para 50E of LKAS 39, a financial asset classified as available for sale may be reclassified out of the available for sale category to loans and receivable if the entity has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
2.3.5.3 Derivativefinancialinstrumentsandhedgingactivities
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on the whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives either,
(a) Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (Fair value hedge)
(b) Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (Cash flow hedge)
(c) Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (Net investment hedge)
The group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
The Fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 30. Movements on the hedging reserve on other comprehensive income (OCI) are shown in the same note. The fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non current asset or liability when the remaining hedged item is more than 12 months and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability.
(a)Fairvaluehedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The group only applies fair value hedge accounting for hedging fixed interest risk on borrowings. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps
hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in the income statement within ‘Finance costs’. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement within ‘Other gains/(losses) – net’. Changes in the fair value of the hedge fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk are recognised in the income statement within ‘Finance costs’.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to profit or loss over the period to maturity.
(b) Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in OCI . The gain or loss in relation to ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the income statement within ‘Finance income/cost’. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory or fixed assets), the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in cost of goods sold in the case of inventory or in depreciation in the case of fixed assets.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement within ‘Other gains/(losses) – net’.
(c) Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.

Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.
2.3.5.4Financialliabilities
The Group’s holding in financial liabilities is in financial liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are derecognized when extinguished.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, public deposits, derivative financial instruments, trade and other payables and bank overdrafts.
FinancialliabilitiesatFairValueThroughProfitorLoss
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held-for-trading or designated as such upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes there in recognized in profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction cost are directly attributable to the acquisition are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The criteria for designation of financial liabilities at FVTPL upon initial recognition are the same as those of financial assets at FVTPL.
Financialliabilitiesmeasuredatamortizedcost
Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are deposits from customers and debt securities in issue for which the fair value option is not applied.
2.3.5.5 Determination of fair value
For financial instruments traded in active markets, the determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities is based on quoted market prices.
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
For all other financial instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. In these techniques, fair values are estimated from observable data in respect of similar financial instruments, using models to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows or other valuation techniques, using inputs existing at the reporting dates for more complex instruments, the Group uses internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry.
The output of a model is always an estimate or approximation of a value that cannot be determined with certainty, and valuation techniques employed may not fully reflect all factors relevant to the positions the Group holds. Valuations are therefore adjusted, where appropriate, to allow for additional factors including model risks, liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk.
Based on the established fair value model governance policies, and related controls and procedures applied, management believes that these valuation adjustments are necessary and appropriate to fairly state the values of financial instruments carried at fair value in the statement of financial position. Price data and parameters used in the measurement procedures applied are generally reviewed carefully and adjusted, if necessary – particularly in view of the current market developments.
In cases when the fair value of unlisted equity instruments cannot be determined reliably, the instruments are carried at cost less impairment. The fair value for loans and advances as well as liabilities to banks and customers are determined using a present value model on the basis of contractually agreed cash flows, taking into account credit quality, liquidity and costs.
The fair values of contingent liabilities and irrevocable loan commitments correspond to their carrying amounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
2.3.5.6Recognitionofdiffereddayoneprofitandloss
The best evidence of fair value at initial recognition is the transaction price (that is, 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 (that is, without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets.
The Group has entered into transactions, some of which will mature after significant period of time, where fair value is determined using valuation models for which not all inputs are market observable prices or rates. Such financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, although the value obtained from the relevant valuation model may differ. The difference between the transaction price and the model value, commonly referred to as ‘day one profit and loss’, is not recognised immediately in the income statement.
The timing of recognition of deferred day one profit and loss is determined individually. It is either amortised over the life of the transaction, deferred until the instrument’s fair value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realised through settlement. The financial instrument is subsequently measured at fair value, adjusted for the deferred day one profit and loss. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised immediately in the income statement without immediate reversal of deferred day one profits and losses.
2.3.5.7Derecognitionoffinancialinstruments
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from these assets have ceased to exist or the assets have been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are also transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they have been redeemed or otherwise extinguished.
Collateral furnished by the Group under standard repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions is not derecognised because the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards on the basis of the predetermined repurchase price, and the criteria for derecognition are therefore not met. This also applies to certain securitisation transactions in which the Group retains a portion of the risks.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange o modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Income Statement.
Investment sold together with a deep in the money put option are not derecognised from the Statement of Financial Position as the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards o ownership. The corresponding cash received is recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position as an asset with a corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest as financial liability, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to the Group. The difference between the sale and put option exercise price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of agreement using the EIR.
2.3.6 Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
a. Financial assets carried at amortized cost
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
91
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
91
and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.
Individual assessment of loans and receivable for impairment
In Initial stage of IFRS implementation group has considered all legal cases related lease and HP receivables and past due contractual payments of either principle or interest as individually assessed loans and receivables.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred).This encompasses re assessment of the enforceability of any collateral held and the timing and amount of actual and anticipated receipts. The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income in the consolidated income statement. Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Group. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is
increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in the consolidated income statement.
Collective assessment of impairment
Collective impairment is based on the statistical model of net flow rate method which takes in to consideration of all historical loss experience in similar credit risk and it is based on the customer credit risk patterns. Based on the asset type total portfolio has segmented into similar credit risk groups. Under this methodology the movements in the outstanding balances of customers in to arrears buckets over the periods are used to estimate the amount of loans that will eventually be written off as a result of the events occurring before the balance sheet date which the Group is not able to identify on an individual loan basis, and that can be reliably estimated. In arriving at ultimate loss ratios Group has considered the past trend in collateral realization and management judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be grater or less than suggested by historical data.
Under above methodology, loans are grouped in to ranges according to the number of days in arrears and statistical analysis is used to estimate the likelihood that loans in each range will progress through the various stages of delinquency and ultimately prove irrecoverable.
Write off of loans and advances
The Group write offs certain loans and advances when they are determined to be uncollectible.
b. Available-for-sale financial investments
For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. ‘Significant’ is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and ‘prolonged’ against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated income statement— is removed from other comprehensive income
9292
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
and recognized in arriving the net income for the period. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement; increases in their fair value after impairments are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated income statement, the impairment loss is reversed in arriving net income for the period.
2.3.7 Insurance and Investments Contracts
SLFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts, requires contracts written by insurer to be classified as either “Insurance” or “Investment” depending on the level of insurance risk transferred.
2.3.7.1Productclassification
Insurance Contracts
SLFRS 4 requires contracts written by insurers to be classified as either “insurance contracts” or “investment contracts” depending on the level of insurance risk transferred.Insurance contracts are contracts under which one party (the Insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. Significant insurance risk exists if an insured event could cause an insurer to pay significant additional benefits in any scenario, excluding scenarios that lack commercial substance (i.e. have no discernible effect on the economics of the transaction). The classification of contracts identifies both the insurance contracts that the Company issues and reinsurance contracts that the Company holds.
The classification of contracts identifies both the insurance contracts that the Company issues and reinsurance contracts that the Company holds.
Investment Contracts
Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance risk.
Financial risk is the risk of a possible future change in one or more of a specified interest rate, price of the financial instrument, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of price or rates, credit rating or credit index or other variable, provided in the case of a non financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract.
SubsequentClassification
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Investment contracts can, however, be reclassified as insurance contracts after inception if insurance risk becomes significant. Insurance and investment contracts are further classified as being either with or without discretionary participating features (“DPF”).
DiscretionaryParticipatingFeatures(DPF)
DPF is a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefits that are:
(a) Likely to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits;
(b) The amount or timing of which is contractually at the discretion of the issuer;
(c) That are contractually based on:
The performance of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract
Realised and or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by the issuer
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
93
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
93
The profit or loss of the Company, fund or other entity that issues the contract
Derivatives embedded in an insurance contract or an investment contract with DPF are separated and fair valued Statement of Income unless the embedded derivative itself is an through the insurance contract or investment contract with DPF. The derivative is also not separated if the host insurance contract and/or investment contract with DPF is measured at fair value through the income statement.
IBSL regulations and the terms and conditions of these contracts set out the bases for the determination of the amounts on which the additional discretionary benefits are based (the DPF eligible surplus) and within which the Company may exercise its discretion as to the quantum and timing of their payment to contract holders. At least 90% of the eligible surplus must be attributed to contract holders as a group (which can include future contract holders) and the amount and timing of the distribution to individual contract holders is at the discretion of the Company, subject to the advice of the appointed actuary. All DPF liabilities including unallocated surpluses, both guaranteed and discretionary, at the end of the reporting period are held within insurance contract liabilities, as appropriate.
Product Portfolio of the Group
All product sold by the Group are insurance contracts and therefore classified as Insurance Contracts thus the Group does not have any investment contracts within its portfolio as at reporting date.
2.3.8 Reinsurance Receivables
The Group cedes insurance risk in the normal course of business for all of its businesses. Reinsurance receivables represent balances due from reinsurance companies. These assets consist of short-term balances due from reinsurers, as well as longer term receivables that are dependent on the expected claims and benefits arising under the related reinsured insurance contracts. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision or settled claims associated with the reinsurer’s policies and are in accordance with the related reinsurance contract.
2.3.9 Premium Receivable
Insurance receivables from General Insurance are recognised when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration receivable. Collectability of premiums is reviewed on an ongoing basis. According to the Premium Payment Warranty (PPW) directive issued by the Insurance Board of Sri Lanka (IBSL), all general insurance policies are issued subject to PPW and are cancelled upon the expiry of 60 days if not settled.
Due Life Insurance premiums (only the premiums due in the 30 day grace period) are recognized at each Reporting Date and will be reversed if the premiums are not settled during the subsequent month, and thus the policies will be lapsed as per the Company policy.
2.3.10 Deferred acquisition costs (DAC)
Deferred acquisition costs comprise commissions and other variable costs directly connected with acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts, are deferred to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums. All other acquisition costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. DAC is not calculated for Life Insurance Contracts as the acquisition costs are incurred in line with the revenues earned.
DAC is amortised over the period in which the related revenues are earned. In line with the available regulatory guidelines from the Insurance Board of Sri Lanka (IBSL), the DAC is calculated based on the 1/365th basis for non marine and 60:40 basis for marine class. The re-insurers share of deferred acquisition costs is amortised in the same manner as the unearned premium reserve is amortised. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period and are treated as a change in an accounting estimate.
An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. DAC is reviewed for recoverability based on the profitability of the underlying insurance contracts and when the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income.
DAC are derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
2.3.11 Reinsurance Commission - Unearned commission reserve (UCR) - General
Commissions receivable on outwards reinsurance contracts are deferred and amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the expected premiums payable.
2.3.12 Lease rentals receivable and hire purchase rentals receivable
Assets leased to customers under agreements, which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership other than legal title, are classified as finance leases. Lease rentals receivable in the Statement of financial position represents total minimum lease payment due, net of unearned income and provision for doubtful recoveries.
Assets sold to customers under fixed rate hire purchase agreements, which transfer all risks and rewards as well as the legal title at the end of such contractual period are classified as hire purchase rentals receivable. Such assets are accounted for similar manner as finance leases.
The accounting for lease income is on the basis of the financing method.
The excess of aggregate rental receivable over the cost of the leased assets constitutes the total income at the commencement of the contract. The unearned income is taken into account over the period of lease, commencing from the month in which the lease is executed, in proportion to the declining receivable balance of the lease.
Income arising from the residual interest on hire purchase agreements is credited to the Income Statement as it accrues in proportion to the declining receivable balance of the agreement.
However, accrual of income from leases and hire purchase agreements cease when the account is impaired specifically.
2.3.13 Other non-financial assets
Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value, after making due allowances for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realizable value is the estimated price at which inventories can be sold in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
The cost incurred in bringing inventories to it’s present location and conditions accounted for as follows;
• Vehicle stock - at purchase cost on a specific identification basis
• Real estate stocks - at purchase values of properties acquired and at value of related asset extinguished for properties repossessed and any subsequent expenditure incurred on such development including the borrowing costs up to the completion of developments
• Repossessed Vehicle - based on the valuation obtained as at the date of repossession.
• Consumables - at the lower of cost and net realizable value, after making due allowances for obsolete and slow moving items
Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Net realizable value is the price at which inventories can be sold in the ordinary course of business.
2.3.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Bank balances and cash in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash in hand, demand deposits and liquid investments readily convertible to identified amounts of cash and subject to insignificant change in value with an original maturities of three months or less.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of bank balances and cash as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method.
2.3.15 Retirement benefit costs
a. Defined benefit plans – gratuity
All the employees of the group are eligible for gratuity under the Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983.The Company measures the present value of the promised retirement benefits of
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
95
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
95
gratuity which is a defined benefit plan with the advice of an actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rate, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from the experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
Past service costs are recognised immediately in income, unless the change to the pension plans is conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case the past service costs are amortised on straight line basis over the vesting period.
The key assumptions used (Company and the Group) by the actuary include the following:
Rate of interest 10%
Rate of salary increase 7%
Retirement age 55 years
The gratuity liability is not externally funded. This item is grouped under ‘Deferred liabilities’ in the consolidated statement of financial position.
b. Defined contribution plans -Employees’ Provident Fund and Employees’ Trust Fund
All Employees are eligible for Employees’ Provident Fund Contributions and Employees’ Trust Fund Contributions by the Group in line with respective statutes and regulations. The Group contributes 12% to the respective provident fund and 3% to the Employees Trust Fund of such employees’ gross emoluments.
2.3.16 Interest Bearing Borrowings
Interest bearing loans are subsequently measured at amortised cost using, the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate method (EIR) amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs in the income statement.
2.3.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain the expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, 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 where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense in the consolidated income statement.
2.3.18 Insurance contract liabilities
a. Life insurance contract liabilities
Measurement
Life insurance liabilities are recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged. These liabilities are measured by using the Net Premium Valuation (NPV) method as specified by the Insurance Board of Sri Lanka (IBSL) based on the recommendation of the Independent Consultant Actuary.
The liability is determined as the sum of the discounted value of the expected future benefits, less the discounted value of the expected future premiums that would be required to meet the future cash outflows based on the valuation assumptions used. The liability is computed based on IBSL specified guidelines and current assumptions which vary based on the contract type. Furthermore, adjustments are performed to capture the likely liabilities that may arise due to currently lapsed contracts reviving in the future.
The minimum mandated amounts, which are to be paid to policyholders plus any declared / undeclared additional benefits, are recorded in liabilities.
9696
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
De - recognition
The liability is derecognised when the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made of whether the recognized life insurance liabilities are adequate net by using an existing liability adequacy test.
b. General insurance contract liabilities
Measurement
General insurance contract liabilities include the outstanding claims provision (Reserve for gross outstanding and Incurred but not reported, and Incurred but not enough reported - IBNR / IBNER) and the provision for unearned premium and the provision for premium deficiency.
Gross Claims Payable including IBNR
The outstanding claims provision is based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the reporting date, whether reported or not, together with related claims handling costs and reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification and settlement of certain types of claims, therefore, the ultimate cost of these cannot be known with certainty at the reporting date. The liability is calculated at the reporting date using a range of standard actuarial claim projection techniques, based on empirical data and current assumptions that may include a margin for adverse deviation. The liability is not discounted for the time value of money. No provision for equalisation or catastrophe reserves is recognised.
The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation to pay a claim expires, is discharged or is cancelled.
The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation to pay claim expires, is discharged or is cancelled.
IBNR reserve is decided by an independent external actuary.
Reserve for Unearned Premium (UPR)
The reserve for unearned premium represents that portion of premium received or receivable that relates to risks that have not yet expired at the reporting date. The provision is
recognised when contracts are entered and is brought to account as premium income over the term of the contract in accordance with the pattern of insurance service provided under the contract.
Provision for unearned premium is calculated on a 1 /365 basis except for marine / cargo class which is subject to 60 / 40 basis.
Liability Adequacy Test (LAT)
At the end of each reporting period the Company reviews its unexpired risk and a liability adequacy test is performed as laid out in SLFRS 4 to determine whether there is any overall excess of expected claims and deferred acquisition costs over unearned premium. The calculation uses current estimates of future cash flows after taking account of the investment return expected to arise from assets relating to the relevant general insurance technical provisions.
If the assessments show that the carrying amount of the unearned premium (less related Deferred Acquisition Costs) is inadequate, the deficiency shall be recognised in the Statement of Income by setting up a provision for liability adequacy.
Title Insurance Reserve
Title insurance reserve is maintained by the Company to pay potential claims arising from the Title Insurance policies. Title Insurance policies are normally issued for a long period such as 5 years or more. Thus, no profit is recognised in the first year of the policy given the relatively higher probability of claims occurring in the first year. From the 2nd year onwards, profit is recognised by amortising the premium received and will be distributed throughout the remaining period of the policy using the straight line method. Profit in the first year will be recognised in the 2nd year and thereafter it is periodically recognised. If the corresponding loan of the Title Insurance Policy issued is settled before the maturity, full premium of such policies remaining as at the date of settlement of such loan is recognised in profits upon confirmation of the same by the respective Bank.
2.3.19 Reserve fund
Reserve fund is a statutory reserve created in compliance with the direction No. 1 of Central Bank Regulations of 2003. The amount transferred is not less than 5% of the net profit after taxation.
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016

2.3.20 Investment fund reserve
Investment fund reserve created in compliance with the guidelines issued by Value added Tax Act No 14 of 2002, under the cover of the letter No. 02/17/800/0014/01. The amount transferred is equal to the summation of,
a. An amount equal to 8% of the value addition computed for financial VAT purposes
b.An amount equal to 5% of profits computed for income tax
However, in compliance with the new guidline issued under the letter No. 24/10/001/0004/001 by Central Bank, the operation of Investment fund reserve has ceased with effect from October 1, 2014 and the balance has been transferred to retained earnings.
2.3.21 Taxation
a. Income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The provision for income tax is based on the elements of income and expenditure as reported in the consolidated financial statements and computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax legislations.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated income statement.
b. Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilized except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated income statement.
2.3.22 VAT on financial services
VAT on financial services is calculated based on VAT Act No 14 of 2002 and subsequent amendments thereto
2.3.23 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
2.3.24 Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the amounts derived from the provision of goods and services and lending activities to customers outside the Group which fall within the Group’s ordinary activities net of trade discounts and turnover related taxes. All intra group transactions have been eliminated.
9898
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTD.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
The following specific criteria are used for the purpose of recognizing revenue.
a. Professional fee income
Revenue associated with rendering service s recognized by reference to the stage of completion. Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
b. Income from hire rental and operating leases
Income from hire rental and operating leases is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of hire rental and operating lease agreements.
c. Overdue charges
Overdue charges of leasing / hire purchase have been accounted for on cash received basis.
d. Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established.
e. Interest income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost and interest bearing financial assets classified as available-for-sale, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the EIR. Interest income is included in ‘gross income’ in the income statement.
f. Fee and commission income
Group earns fee and commission income from services it provides to its customers. Mainly documentation and processing fee for the service provided in processing of loan facilities to customers.
g. Net trading income
Net trading income includes all gains and losses from changes in fair value and related dividends for financial assets held for trading other than interest income.
h. Gross written premium (GWP)
General Insurance GWP
Gross written premium comprise the total premium receiv able for the whole period of cover provided by contracts entered into during the accounting period. They are recognised on the date on which the policy commences
Rebates that form part of the premium rate, such as no-claim rebates, are deducted from the gross written premium.
Unearned Premium Reserve (UPR)
Unearned premiums are those proportions of premium written in a year that relate to periods of risk after the reporting date. UPR represents the portion of the premium written in the year but relating to the unexpired term of coverage.
Unearned premiums are calculated on the 365 basis except for the marine and title policies which are computed on a 60 - 40 basis in accordance with the Regulation of Insurance Industry Act, No. 43 of 2000. However, for those contracts for which the period of risk differs significantly from the contract period, premiums are earned over the period of risk in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned premium which is included under liabilities.
Life Insurance GWP
Gross recurring premium on life insurance contracts are recognised as revenue when payable by the policyholder (policies within the 30 day grace period are considered as
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
99
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
99
due). Premiums received in advance are not recorded as revenue and recorded as liability until the premium is due unless otherwise the relevant policy conditions require such premiums to be recognized as income. Benefits and expenses are provided against such revenue to recognize profits over the estimated life of the policies. For single premium business, revenue is recognised on the date on which the policy is effective.
i. Reinsurance Premium
Gross reinsurance premium on insurance contracts are recognised as an expense on the earlier of the date when premiums are payable or when the policy becomes effective. Reinsurance premiums are decided based on rates agreed with reinsurers.
General Insurance reinsurance Premium
Reinsurance premium written comprise of total premiums payable for the whole cover provided by contracts entered into the period and are recognised on the date on which the policy incepts. Premiums include any adjustments arising in the accounting period in respect of reinsurance contracts incepting in prior Accounting periods.
Unearned Reinsurance Premium
Unearned reinsurance premiums are those proportions of premium written in a year that relate to periods of risk after the reporting date. Unearned reinsurance premiums are deferred over the term of the underlying direct insurance policies for risks-attaching contracts and over the term of the reinsurance contract for losses occurring contracts. Unearned reinsurance premiums are calculated on the 365 basis except for the marine policies which are computed on a 60-40 basis.
The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned premium which is included under Insurance contract liabilities - General.
Life Insurance Reinsurance Premium
Reinsurance premium on life and investment contracts are recognised as an expense on the earlier of the date when premiums are payable or when the policy becomes effective.
j. Investment income
Interest income is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues and is calculated by using the effective interest rate method. Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective yield of the financial asset or liability are recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the instrument. Investment income also includes dividends when the right to receive payment is established. For listed securities, this is the date the security is listed as ex dividend.
k. Realized gains and losses
Realized gains and losses recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on investments include gains and losses on financial assets and investment properties. Gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated as the difference between net sales proceeds and the original or amortized cost and are recorded on occurrence of the sale transaction.
l. Other Income
Other income is recognized on an accrual basis.
m. Reinsurance Commission Income
General Insurance
Reinsurance commission income on outwards reinsurance contracts are recognised as revenue when receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, reinsurance commission income on outwards reinsurance contracts are deferred and amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the expected premium payable.
Life Insurance
Reinsurance premiums on life and investment contracts are recognised as an expense on the earlier of the date when premiums are payable or when the policy becomes effective.

Claims outstanding are assessed by review of individual claim files and estimating changes in the ultimate cost of settling claims.
Gross claims expense includes gross claims expense reported but not yet paid, incurred but not reported claims (IBNR). The provision in respect of IBNR is actuarially valued to ensure a more realistic estimation of the future liability based on past experience and trends.
Actuarial valuations are performed on an annual basis. While the Directors consider that the provision for claims is fairly stated on the basis of information currently available, the ultimate liability will vary as a result of subsequent information and events. This may result in adjustment to the amounts provided. Such amounts are reflected in the financial statements for that period. The methods used and the estimates made are reviewed regularly.
Life Insurance
Gross benefits and claims for life insurance contracts include the cost of all claims arising during the year including internal and external claims handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement of claims and policyholder bonuses declared on DPF contracts, as well as changes in the gross valuation of insurance. Death claims and surrenders are recorded on the basis of notifications received. Maturities and annuity payments are recorded when due. Interim payments and surrenders are accounted at the time of settlement.
Changes in the valuation of insurance contract liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position under Change in insurance contract liabilities.
2.3.26.2 Reinsurance claims
Reinsurance claims are recognized when the related gross insurance claim is recognized according to the terms of the relevant contract.
2.3.26.3ActuarialValuationofLifeInsuranceFund
The Directors agree to the long term insurance provision for the Group at the year-end on the recommendations of
the Independent Consultant Actuary following his annual investigation of the Life Insurance business. The actuarial valuation takes into account all liabilities and is based on assumptions recommended by the Independent Consultant Actuary.
2.3.26.4 Net Deferred Acquisition Expenses
Acquisition expenses, representing commissions, which vary with and are directly related to the production of business, are deferred and amortised over the period in which the related written premiums are earned.
2.3.26.5 Expenditure Recognition
a) Expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on the basis of a direct association between the cost incurred and the earning of specific items of income. All expenditure incurred in the running of the business and in maintaining the Property, Plant and Equipment in a state of efficiency has been charged to Statement of Comprehensive Income in arriving at the profit for the year.
b) For the purpose of presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income the directors are of the opinion that function of expenses method presents fairly the elements of the Company expenditure incurred events. Touch presentation method is adopted.
2.1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
(a) New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet adopted.
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Group, except as set out below:
(i) SLFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of SLFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in LKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. SLFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
101
Softlogic CapitalAnnual Report 2015/2016
101
on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in LKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. SLFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under LKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is yet to assess the full impact of SLFRS 9.
(ii) SLFRS 15, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces LKAS 18 and LKAS 11 and related interpretations. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted.
(iii) SLFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts , SLFRS 14 is an interim standard which provides relief for first time -adopters of SLFRS in relation to the accounting for certain balances that arise from rate-regulated activities (‘regulatory deferral accounts’). The standard permits these entities to continue to apply their previous GAAP accounting policies for the recognition, measurement, impairment and derecognition of regulatory deferral accounts.
3. DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILTY STATEMENTS
Directors acknowlege the responsibilty for the true and fair presenation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the books of accounts and Sri Lanka Accounting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act No 7 of 2007.

There is no concentration risk on any single region, customer or sector in particular collection of dues from customers is robust with the delinquency rate being better than the financial industry average.
With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Group, such as cash and cash equivalents, available for sale financial investments, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity financial assets, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arise from default of the counterparty. The Group manages its operations to avoid any excessive concentration of counterparty risk.
4.3.1 Credit Risk - Default risk
Default risk is the risk that one party to financial instruments will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur financial loss. It arises from lending, trade finance, treasury and other activities undertaken by the Group. The Group has in place standards, policies and procedures for the control and monitoring of all such risks.
4.3.2 Credit Risk - Concentration risk
The Group seeks to manage its credit concentration risk exposure through diversification of its lending, investing and financing activities to avoid undue concentrations of risks with individuals or group of customers in specific businesses. It also obtains security when appropriate. The types of collateral obtained include cash margins, mortgages over properties and pledge over equity instruments.
The requirement for an impairment is analysed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. Additionally, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on actual incurred historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in below.
The tables below show the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of financial position. The maximum exposure is shown gross before the effect of mitigation through the use of collateral agreements

4.3.8 Trade Receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any consignments to major customers are generally covered by bank guarantees or other forms of credit insurance.
4.3.9 Reinsurance Receivable
According to the overall risk management strategy, the Group cedes insurance risk through proportional, non-proportional and specific risk reinsurance treaties. While these mitigate insurance risk, the recoverable from reinsurers and receivables arising from ceded reinsurance exposes the company to credit risk. Following are the few steps to manage reinsurance risk in addition to explained above,
• Placed in line with policy guidelines approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis in line with the guidelines issued by the Insurance Board of Sri Lanka.
• Counterparties’ limits that are set each year and are subject to regular reviews. On a regular basis management assesses the creditworthiness of reinsurers to update the reinsurance strategy and ascertain the suitable allowance for impairment of reinsurance assets.
• Outstanding reinsurance receivables are reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure that all dues are collected or set off against payables.
• Maintain close and professional relationship with reinsurers.
• No cover is issue without confirmation from reinsurance unless non reinsurance business.
As at reporting date reinsurance receivables amount to Rs. 200.13 mn as at 31 March 2016 (2015 - Rs. 226.77 mn). This mainly consists of reinsurance receivable on paid claims amounting to Rs. 104.50 mn (2015 - Rs. 90.60 mn) and reinsurance share of claim reserve (receivables on outstanding claims) of Rs. 95.63 mn as at 31 March 2016 (2015 - Rs. 136.17 mn).
4.3.10 Insurance Premium Receivable
The Group’s has a credit risk exposure to receivables where the policyholder or the intermediary cannot settle their dues to the Group.
In life insurance, credit risk is minimal, since premium is collected before the policy is issued.
In non-life insurance, the premium warranty clause which state that a claim is not payable if the premium is not settled within 60 days has reduced the credit risk to a greater extent.
The following steps have also been taken to further minimise credit risk,
• Customers are regularly reminded on the premium warranty clause.
• Outstanding credit is followed up on a daily basis.
• Policies not settled within a reasonable period are monitored and cancelled.
• Outstanding receivables are checked and confirmed prior to settling claims.
• Until premium is settled a temporary certificate for 60 days issued for motor policies.

4.3.11 Bank Deposit
Deposits with banks mainly consist of fixed and call deposits. Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s treasury department in accordance with the Group’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed in an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to appropriate approval. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty’s failure to make payments.
4.4 Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning process. The Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, debentures, finance leases and hire purchase contracts that will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when its due, under normal and stressed conditions. The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. Access to sources of funding is sufficiently available and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders. The approach is carefully managed without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

Liquidity risk management
An optional combination of positive and negative cash flows along with investment returns and contractual obligation maturing is collated through an intra-day cash reporting system for all business segments. High value contractual outflows are processed through various control filters. The group is in the process of building a “Liquidity Dashboard” with the implementation of ERP program. This would help further accelerate the review and identification of debt maturities relating to net liquidity position on daily basis and thus enable proactively mobile necessary funding mobilization or reinvest of cash surplus if any. Closely monitoring and working to reschedule maturity profile is any to de-stress cash flows and re-align them with actual investment tenor. This would engender optimal liquidity positioning and this would reduce borrowing cost and enhance reinvestment income.

5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2016.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio for comapny and subsidiary level, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt which is monitored very closley by the senior management officials. Net debt of the Group includes, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables less cash and cash equivalents (excluding discountinued operations).

7. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
7.1 Fair Value Measurement
The determination of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities for which there is no observable market of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument. price requires the use of valuation techniques. For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgement depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument. The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.
The Group uses widely recognised valuation models for determining the fair value of common and more simple financial instruments, like government securities, interest rate and currency swaps that use mostly observable market data and require little management judgement and estimation. Observable prices and model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities, government securities and simple over the counter derivatives like forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determination of fair values. Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets.
Management judgements and estimations are usually required for selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, determination of probability of counterparty default and prepayments and selection of appropriate discount rates.
The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, by the level of the fair value hierarchy.

7.2 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortised Cost
Fair values is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The estimated fair values are based on relevant information. There are various limitations inherent in this fair value disclosure particularly where prices may not represent the underlying value due to dislocation in the market. Not all of the Group’s financial instruments can be exchanged in an active trading market. The Group obtains the fair values of investment securities from quoted market prices where available, Group obtains the fair values by means of discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques that are commonly used by market participants. These techniques address factors such as interest rates, credit risk and liquidity.
Given below is the methodologies and assumptions used in fair value estimates.
Loans and receivables (Including Lease and HP)
Approximately 70% of the total lending portfolio has a remaining maturity of less than one year. Therefore fair value of lending portfolio approximates to the carrying value as at the reporting date.
Held to maturity Financial Assets
Fair values of Held to Maturity Investments are valued based on daily market rate publish by Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
Cash and cash equivalents.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, approximate their fair value as those are short term in nature and are receivable on demand.
Liabilities
Interest bearing borrowings
Bank Borrowings
Approximately 36% of the amounts due to banks (Inclusive of overdraft facilities) as at the reporting date have a remaining contractual maturity of less than one year. Majority of the balance amounts comprised of floating rate instruments. Therefore fair value of amounts due to banks approximates to the carrying value as at the reporting date.
Other borrowed funds
50% of other borrowed funds mainly includes commercial papers with a contractual maturity of less than one year which approximately equals to its fair value. Further all of securitization payable with a contractual maturity of less than one year also approximately equals to its fair value.
Public Deposits
Approximately 89% of the customer deposits are either repayable on demand or have a remaining contractual maturity of less than one year. Customer deposits with a contractual maturity of more than one year are subject to pre mature upliftment. Amounts paid to customers in the event of premature upliftment would not be materially different to its carrying value as at date. Therefore fair value of customer deposits approximates to their carrying value as at the reporting date.

30.1 Softlogic Holdings PLC (“SH”), Softlogic Capital PLC (“SC”) and Asian Alliance Insurance PLC (“AAI”) entered into a “Shareholders Agreement” and “Share Purchase Agreement” dated 20 December 2012 as amended 13 February 2013 with Deutsche Investitions - Und Entwicklungsgesellschaft MBH (“DEG”) and Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. (“FMO”) to sell 19% of the ordinary shares of AAI, held by SH to FMO and 19% of the AAI ordinary shares held by SC to DEG. As per the above agreements, SC has granted a ‘Put Option’ to FMO and DEG which will be valid for a three year period with effect from 7 March 2017 to repurchase 38% of the shares held by DEG and FMO based on a ‘Put Option’ price as specified in the amended agreements.
Subsequent to the evaluation of ownership interest on the share transferred to non-controlling interest (NCI) based on pricing, voting rights, decision making and dividend rights, management determines that SH & SC have transferred full ownership interest to the NCI. Therefore AAI shares were derecognized and any liability arising from the put option will be recognized based on option valuation methodology in line with LKAS 39 Financial Instrument Recognition and measurement.
30.2 The obligation on the put option liability is based on the Binomial method of valuation carried out by the management of Softlogic Capital PLC. The principal inputs used in determining the liability were:

Probability to move down (Pd) of the option value (%) 10 10
Upward movement of the appraisal value (%) 1.32 1.32
Downward movement of the appraisal value (%) 0.76 0.76
At the end of the year the liability amounted to Rs. 9,356,708/-.
