involves upgrading existing platform as well as venturing into new platforms through its fully owned

Weblink: https://seekingalpha.com/ accessed on 01st November 2021

2. Launching Kapruka platform services
Kapruka intends to launch several new platforms which would open new business verticals for Kapruka.
LKR 405.5Mn of the IPO proceeds will be utilized to invest in 4 new platforms – Kapruka Partner Central,
Used goods marketplace, Kapruka Wholesale Marketplace and Cross Border Exports.
The IPO proceeds of LKR 505.5 Mn will be sufficient to fulfill the aforesaid objectives.
The shareholders will be benefitted from the increased revenues and profits generated through the
expansion of the existing business as well as venturing into new platforms. Upgrading the existing
technological platforms will help create a better customer experience and acquire new customers. The
new ventures will open up new revenue streams for the Group. Each project has a direct co-relation to
e-commerce in Sri Lanka. With the tacit knowledge of operating e-commerce in Sri Lanka for over 18
years, Kapruka knows the “no-go” areas well enough. Further, scaling up the cross-border operations is
also expected to increase revenue and profitability.
Kapruka does not intend to deviate from the objective mentioned above when utilizing the proceeds
raised through the Offer for Subscription. However in the event the Company cannot proceed with the
said objective and utilize the allocated funds due to slowdown/adverse macroeconomic conditions in
the country, including the ongoing global pandemic situation at the time of investments or negative
outcome of feasibility exercises in carrying out such expansion project, the Company would evaluate the
next best alternative of investing such funds without undue delay, make a market announcement and
obtain approval of the shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting prior to utilization of such
funds in the decided course of action.
The sole shareholder and the Board, unanimously approved the utilization of funds as set out herein.
IPO proceeds will be invested in a short-term money market account or short-term fixed deposit at
market interest rates until they are fully utilized.
In the event of an undersubscription of the Offer for Subscription where the funds raised are not
adequate to finance the objectives mentioned above, Kapruka would use internally generated funds
and/or external borrowings to finance balance funds required for such objectives.
The objectives are detailed out below
3.5.1 Upgrading Existing Technologies and Infrastructure
The core systems of Kapruka will be overhauled to scale and support the upcoming expansions. The
ultimate goal is to offer a world-class online purchasing experience to the end consumer via use of better
technology. Web, Customer app, delivery agent tools, warehouse management system, AI-driven
product suggestions, automated marketing campaigns will be upgraded to next-generation tech.
The funds will be utilized by Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited which is a fully owned subsidiary of
Kapruka Holdings Limited.
Kapruka wishes to invest LKR 100Mn of the IPO proceeds for this purpose in Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt)
Limited. The proceeds will be invested in the recruitment of highly skilled software/web engineers
(fulltime staff) and hardware purchases related to building a world-class delivery experience to end-
users with turn-by-turn tracking. The Company will also invest in a set of security layers to safeguard

sensitive data. Kapruka warehouse spaces will be upgraded with a new warehouse management system
(WMS) software which is closely coupled to the ERP system. The warehouses will be upgraded with e-
commerce specific features such as “pick-to-light” to increase the efficiency of warehouse staff for faster
and accurate order fulfilment. Recruitments/acquisition of these assets (hardware and software) will be
at market values and does not involve related party transactions. Hardware will be acquired and
software will be developed in-house. Warehouse management and ERP are open-source products.
For the said objective, the investment of the IPO proceeds is expected to commence in 1Q2022 and the
upgrading is expected to be complete in 1Q2023.
There are no specific approvals needed for this objective.
Some of the risks factors associated with this objective are changes in the technology, changes in the
consumer buying patterns, IT system related risks. If the Company fails to invest the proceeds within the
said time period, the risk would be delay in accrual of revenues from the new customer acquisitions
arising from the upgraded web and mobile platform. The Company believes this risk is mitigated as it
has over a decade of experience in implementing IT enabled projects supporting its business operations
and experienced personnel to evaluate, plan and implement its proposed projects.
3.5.2 Launching Kapruka Platform Services
Kapruka platform services include several new e-commerce business verticals that the Company wishes
to expand into.
Kapruka Partner Central
Kapruka plans to introduce a premier marketplace platform for well-established brick and mortar shops
in Sri Lanka. This platform will connect buyers and sellers and allow the sellers to choose multiple order
fulfillment options including fulfillment by Kapruka. This is similar to the popular business model of FBA
(Fulfilment by Amazon4). “Kapruka Partner Central” will differentiate itself from other marketplaces in
Sri Lanka by handling the storage at seller’s premises, pick and packing, Island wide delivery, returns,
exchanges, and exceptional customer service, all under one solution.

transactions.

Some of the risks factors associated with this objective are changes in the technology, changes in the
consumer buying patterns, low-quality products from third-party sellers resulting in product returns,
pressure for lower commissions by seller groups, further import restrictions could affect the availability
of inventories. If the Company fails to invest the proceeds within the said time period, the risk would be
a delay in the accrual of revenues from the new customer acquisitions arising from the Partner Central.
The Company believes this risk is mitigated as it has over a decade of experience in implementing IT
enabled projects supporting its business operations and experienced personnel to evaluate, plan and
implement its proposed projects.
Used-goods Marketplace
Kapruka plans to launch a used goods marketplace as a fully owned new sub-brand - Soldout.lk. It is an
e-commerce platform for pre-owned goods, connecting buyers and sellers with added features such as
home delivery and order fulfillment. In Sri Lanka, automobiles and property have an active second-hand
market which provides an attractive opportunity. Soldout.lk is also planned to be promoted in a weekly
printed leaflet distributed with traditional newspapers. The company expects to establish a grassroots
level social dealer network throughout the island under the new venture.
Soldout.lk will initially be a business unit under Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited and later would be
separated into it’s own company as the business matures.
Limited. The proceeds will be invested in recruiting a new operational team, developing the web
applications, and marketing-related costs. Recruitments of staff and the said start-up expenses will be
at market values and does not involve related party transactions.
development is expected to complete in 2Q2024.
Some of the risks factors associated with this objective are possible project implementations delays, IT
system related risks, information security, challenges of retaining and motivating the grassroot level
social dealer network. If the Company fails to invest the proceeds within the said time period, the risk
would be delay in accrual of revenues from Soldout.lk. The Company believes this risk is mitigated as it
has over a decade of experience in implementing IT enabled projects supporting its business operations
and experienced personnel to evaluate, plan and implement its proposed projects.
Kapruka Wholesale Marketplace
Kapruka B2B combines the bulk purchases, convenience, and value of Kapruka high-quality order
fulfillment with features that help improve business purchasing for re-selling purposes. Grocery would
be the primary category here while it will later expand to wholesale of fruit and vegetables.
The B2B operations will be carried out by Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited.
Kapruka wishes to invest LKR 55.5Mn of the IPO proceeds for this purpose in Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt)
Limited. The proceeds will be invested in the recruitment of marketing and operational and support
teams. Initial inventory purchase and marketing (Credit card promotions and other membership-based

initial discounts for customer acquisition). Recruitments and the said start-up expenses will be at market
values and does not involve related party transactions.
development is expected to be completed by 1Q2024.
Some of the risks factors associated with this objective are delays in implementing the website, IT system
related risks, Credit (collection) related risks if chosen to offer credit line to B2B buyers, inventory related
risks such as slow movement of goods. If the Company fails to invest the proceeds within the said time
period, the risk would be delay in accrual of revenues from the B2B operations. The Company believes
this risk is mitigated as it has over a decade of experience in implementing IT enabled projects supporting
its business operations and experienced personnel to evaluate, plan and implement its proposed
projects
Kapruka - Cross Border Exports
Kapruka has already established itself on global e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.com and
eBay.com to sell Sri Lankan brands to international markets. Sri Lankan brands such as Dilmah, Akbar
Tea, Link Samahan have already been tested by Kapruka on these platforms and are now ready to
increase the scale of volumes and operations. An increasing number of Sri Lankan brands are looking for
an “e-commerce distributor” who will manage, market, sell and ship their products primarily via Amazon
and eBay. In addition to local brands, Kapruka also plans to sell private label “Kapruka” branded Ceylon
Cinnamon on these global platforms. This is a dollar revenue stream and qualifies as an export business.
The cross-border operation is carried out via Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited which is a fully owned
subsidiary of Kapruka Holdings Limited.
Limited. The proceeds will be invested in recruiting new staff, inventory acquisition and enhancing the
storage and supply chain to Western markets. The total working capital (inventories and receivables
minus trade payables) of Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited as 31 October 2021 is approximately LKR
239 million. The interim financial statements are provided in Annexure C of this Prospectus. The working
capital requirements will continue to increase as the volume of sales increases. Recruitments/ working
capital expenses relating to inventory acquisition will be at market values and does not involve related
party transactions. If there is a gap between the total working capital requirement and the proceeds
utilized, the Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited will use its internal funds and debt facilities available to
the Group to bridge the gap. The total working capital requirement for this new initiative has not been
assessed therefore a breakdown is not available at this point. Section 5.3 provides further details on the
Group structure.
For the said objective, the investment of the IPO proceeds is expected to commence in 1Q2022 and is
expected to be completed by 1Q2024.
No special approvals are needed for this operation as it’s a straightforward export business.
Some of the risk factors associated with this objective arise from factors relating to international trade
such as transportation and logistical risks, possible worsening of the covid-19 pandemic. It’s possible to
expect writing off of some stocks due to unforeseen slow movements in certain product lines in Western

markets as it’s not viable to bring them back to Sri Lanka. The Company has established mutual
understandings with producers to get credit vouchers or discounts for such stock that could become un-
sellable. Further, If the Company fails to invest the proceeds within the said time period, the risk would
be a delay in the accrual of revenues from the enhancement of cross-border operations. The Company
believes these risk are mitigated as it has built up its expertise in cross border sales, transport, logistics
and supply chain management including navigating the turbulent Covid-19 pandemic period. The
Company routinely monitors potential risk factors in these areas with a view to taking timely action to
mitigate such risks as they arise.

Operation of a ‘locked’ balance in the CDS

In order to preserve the confidentiality of shareholder information and to ensure that securities are not
made available for trading for those shareholders who do not want to trade the securities, the CDS
provides a mechanism where securities can be ‘locked’ in the CDS account.
The CDS maintains two balances for each CDS account, namely a ‘trading’ balance and a ‘locked’ balance.
The trading balance would be visible to the CDS participant and all dealings and trading would be
permitted on the said trading balance, as done normally.
As opposed to the trading balance, the locked balance will not be visible to the CDS participant and all
dealings on such locked balance would be suspended thereby maintaining the confidentiality of the
information and also safeguarding the account holder from any unauthorised sale by a broker.
At the option and request of an account holder, the CDS would transfer a named quantity of securities
from the locked balance to the trading balance of a CDS account and/or from the trading balance to the
locked balance.

in the Sri Lankan securities market;
- The intermediary may open an IIA, on an Applicant’s behalf;
- In conjunction with the IIA, an account with the CDS must be opened in case the Applicant does
not already have a valid CDS account;
- In respect of regional or country funds investing for the first time in Sri Lanka, the intermediary
will facilitate the approval process regulated by the SEC;
- Payment for Shares should be made through a bank draft or bank guarantee issued by a Licensed
Commercial Bank in Sri Lanka against the funds arranged through the IIA and made payable to

Currency Account (RGFCA) or Resident Guest Rupee Current Account (RGRCA) that Applicants

Unit Trusts * 10%
Retail Individual 40%
Non-Retail 50%
100%
* Unit Trust Applicants should be growth or balanced unit trusts operated by managing companies
licensed by the SEC, where such unit trusts comprise of not less than 500 unit holders resident in Sri
Lanka who together hold at least 50% of that fund as per the Direction issued by the SEC (Ref:
SEC/LEG/11/03/36 of 10 March 2011). Only one Application should be made under each category.
Applications submitted under the Unit Trust Applicant Category should accompany a confirmation by
the trustee confirming that such unit trust is in conformity with the criteria defined by the SEC
Directive dated June 06, 2011 (Ref: SEC/Leg/11/06/01) and CSE Listing Rules, 2.1.1(g)(ii)(b).
Local and foreign individual Applicant/s who apply for up to a maximum of 6,400 Shares (value of not
more than LKR 100,000) will be deemed as Retail Individual applicants for share allotment purposes.
Applicants who do not fall under the Retail Individual Applicant definition stated above will be
deemed as Non-Retail applicants for Share allotment purposes. (All corporate bodies incorporated or
established in Sri Lanka or outside Sri Lanka, global, regional or country funds approved by the SEC,
shall fall under the Non-Retail category irrespective of the quantum of Shares applied for).
The Applicant categories have been selected to ensure the broadest possible spread of shareholders
while treating all Applicants in a fair manner as may be decided by the Board at its discretion.
In the event of an under-subscription in the Unit Trust Applicant category, the Retail Individual Applicant
category shall be given first priority, in allotment of the undersubscribed Shares.

In the event of an under-subscription in the Retail Individual Applicant category, the Unit Trust Applicant
category shall be given first priority, in allotment of the undersubscribed Shares.
In the event of an under-subscription in the Non-Retail Applicant category, Retail Individual Applicant
category will be given first priority followed by Unit Trust Applicant category in the allotment of the
undersubscribed Shares.

Investor Category, 8,206,500 Shares would be allotted to strategic investors on a preferential basis. The
8,206,500 Shares to be preferentially allotted to the said strategic investors would be 50.00% of the total
number of Shares allotted to Non-Retail Investor Category and such preferential allotment to the said
strategic investors would represent 25.0% of the total Shares on offer through the IPO. Hence, the post-

quantity of the Company.

manner as soon as practicable so as to ensure compliance with the CSE Listing Rules. The maximum

via-Amazon-com/44-642622 accessed on 29th October 2021

being listed, will operate as a Holding Company going forward. The ecommerce business carried out by
Kapruka Holdings Limited prior to restructuring will continue to be carried out by the fully owned
subsidiary Kapruka E-Commerce (Pvt) Limited. The objective of the restructuring is to bring the
technological, production and e-commerce arms under one umbrella and develop them under Kapruka
Holdings Limited. The Company will be benefitted as these individual operations are enhanced and
grown under the Group.
The subsidiaries and the associate Companies are carrying out the following business activities
1. Kapruka E-commerce (Private) Ltd: Provides e-commerce services to Sri Lankan and foreign markets.
2. Kapruka Techroot (Pvt) Ltd: Provides technology services. This was incorporated on 04th November
2011

incorporated on 07th July 2018
4. Kapruka Global Shop (Pvt) Ltd: Provides cross border shopping services. This was incorporated on

Incorporation of Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited
Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited was incorporated on 29th October 2021 as a 100% owned subsidiary
of the Kapruka Holdings. The retail/ wholesale related merchandise inventory and associated liabilities
were transferred to Kapruka E-commerce from Kapruka Holdings based on a stock count as at the date
of transfer and shares were issued to Kapruka Holdings for the value of the net assets transferred. The
billing of revenues from e-commerce related activities is now undertaken by Kapruka E-commerce. The
Company does not believe this transaction will have a material impact on the consolidated financials of
the Kapruka Holdings post the date of restructuring for the following reasons.
I. Kapruka E-commerce is solely a continuation of the operating activities carried out by Kapruka
Holdings prior to the date of restructuring and all the assets and liabilities (and revenues and earnings
derived from the same) of Kapruka E-commerce was already reflected in the standalone audited and
interim accounts of Kapruka Holdings as at the 31 March 2021 and 30 September 2021, and will continue
to be reflected in the consolidated financial statements produced after the date of restructuring.
II. As a 100% owned subsidiary of the Kapruka Holdings, any other routine financial dealings between
the two companies in the nature of a holding company and wholly owned subsidiary is netted off in the
consolidated financial statements post the date of restructuring.
Acquisition of Kapruka Productions (Pvt) Ltd, Techroot (Pvt) Ltd, and Kapruka Global Shop (Pvt) Ltd
Kapruka Holdings acquired 100% of Kapruka Productions (Pvt) Limited, 100% of Techroot (Pvt) Limited
and 25% of Kapruka Global Shop (Pvt) Limited on 13th October 2021.

A summary of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies are given below as at 31st March 2021
(audited).

The Company believes the above acquisitions by Kapruka Holdings will not result in any material changes
to the consolidated financial position of Kapruka Holdings Limited and that the pre-consolidated and
post consolidated financial position will not indicate a significant difference for the following reasons.
I. Both the total consideration paid by Kapruka Holdings for the acquisitions and the net assets of
the entities that were acquired constitute a negligible percentage of Kapruka Holdings’ total
assets.
II. Kapruka Productions (Pvt) Ltd and Techroot (Pvt) Ltd derives their revenues solely from sales to
Kapruka E-Commerce. These sales will be netted off in the consolidation.
III. The net earnings/loss of Kapruka Productions (Pvt) Ltd and Techroot (Pvt) Ltd is negligible in
relation to the total earnings of Kapruka Holdings.
IV. Kapruka Global Shop (Pvt) Ltd will be consolidated as an associate company based on the share
of income methodology. The share of income/loss accruing to Kapruka Holdings post
consolidation is negligible in relation to the Company’s total earnings.
The Company believe that the interim consolidated financials of Kapruka Holdings for the period ending
31 October 2021 will provides sufficient validation of the matters that highlighted above.
The Company has requested for a waiver under Listing Rule 2.1.2 (i) (b) and the details are set out in
Section 8.11 of this Prospectus.

5.6 Future plans

5.6.1 Enhancing Kapruka e-commerce platform
The Kapruka website is planned to be upgraded adding several features to it. The new features will
enable both the customer and the supplier to track the order with greater visibility. It will also have
features such as WhatsApp integrated notifications or SMS and automated billing emails. After the
upgrade, suppliers will enjoy a better Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and have
access to analytical data such as repeat purchase patterns and purchase abandonment patterns.
The Company also plans to upgrade Kapruka app experience. Kapruka is currently heavily relying on the
website for the e-commerce sales. The app, although it’s developed and operational, requires
enhancement in its features. Given the increasing availability and usage of smartphones, the Company
understands the need for advance features for the mobile and desktop app, to provide greater
convenience for customers.
Further integrate backwards

The Company plans to further strengthen its subsidiaries, network on the supply side, as it plans to
acquire a stake of Grasshoppers (Pvt) Ltd at a suitable time in future. Grasshoppers provide e-commerce

fulfilment and delivery and is a related Company of Kapruka Holdings Limited, founded by Mr. Dulith
Herath. Kapruka will get a competitive advantage to offer logistics services to other small e-commerce
players in the industry via Grasshoppers. Grasshoppers being an e-commerce last mile delivery service
in Sri Lanka brings a unique set of data to Kapruka. Kapruka will be able to understand trends and
undercurrents of e-commerce movements in Sri Lanka directly via Grasshoppers. The Company has not
decided on the date of such acquisition of source of funds as of the date of this Prospectus. Grasshoppers
is currently owned jointly by three shareholders, including Mr. D V Herath (50%) and Mr. S Alexander
(10%).
5.6.2 Venturing into new business verticals
Kapruka plans to venture into several new business verticals through its fully owned subsidiary Kapruka
E-commerce (Pvt) Ltd.
Kapruka Partner Central: The Company, through its subsidiary plans to introduce a premier marketplace
platform for well-established brick and mortar shops in Sri Lanka. This platform will connect buyers and
sellers and allow the sellers to choose multiple order fulfilment options including fulfilment by Kapruka.
Used goods marketplace: Kapruka, through its subsidiary plans to launch a used goods marketplace as
a fully owned new sub-brand - Soldout.lk. It is an e-commerce platform for pre-owned goods, connecting
buyers and sellers, with added features such as home delivery and order fulfilment.
Kapruka Wholesale Marketplace: Kapruka Business to Business (B2B) combines the bulk purchases,
convenience, and value of Kapruka high-quality order fulfilment with features that help improve
business purchasing for re-selling purposes.
Kapruka Cross Border Exports: Kapruka has already established itself on global e-commerce platforms
such as Amazon.com and eBay.com to sell Sri Lankan brands to international markets. Sri Lankan brands
such as Dilmah, Akbar Tea, Link Samahan have already been tested by Kapruka on these platforms and
are now ready to scale.
5.7 Assumptions related to Future plans
The above-mentioned future plans of the Kapruka would depend on market and industry conditions
prevailing at the time of execution. The following assumptions were made when developing the future
plans.
Consumer behaviour
Due to the pandemic, many consumers increasingly prefer to shop online. This consumer behaviour is
not expected to undergo any material changes for the foreseeable future. Online orders are mostly
placed through mobile devices and given the increasing affordability and penetration of smartphone
among Sri Lankans, this trend is only expected to improve going forward.
Rupee depreciation:
The Sri Lankan rupee has seen a rapid depreciation against all the major currencies during the past 2-3
years. The export competitiveness of the export products is benefitted due to the rupee depreciation. It
is expected that the rupee will continue to depreciate in the foreseeable future.

5.8 Risks related to Future plans
Import restrictions:
The first half of 2021 saw many restrictions on imported good. Given the dollar reserve crisis Sri Lanka is
currently facing, there could be further curtailments on imports. Increased import restrictions may
affect the sourcing and distribution of the imported products in the Kapruka product portfolio.
Delays in implementing
Objectives relating to new product development carries the risk of the project not completing on time.
The delays will result in a delay in accruing revenues expected from the project.
Changes in technology:
The technology keeps changing and evolving over time. Advent of new technology may demand changes
or modifications to the launch of new tech platforms and upgrades Kapruka has planned for.
The Company does not foresee any risks that may arise due to the fact that a newly created entity,
namely Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited, is to carry out the IPO objectives. As explained in Section 5.3,
the new entity will carry out the business/ operating activities previously carried out by Kapruka Holdings
Limited prior to restructuring.
5.9 Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations
The COVID-19 had both positive and negative effects on Kapruka’s business operations.
The surge in demand for online ordering and delivering of goods created a huge business opportunity
for Kapruka. The customer base grew by 64% from 2020 to 2021.
Due to COVID-19 the sourcing of products from the local small suppliers was also disrupted as they were
affected by the pandemic.
COVID-19 posed several challenges to cross border operations related to logistics. The sourcing and
delivery of the goods was affected due to the port and airport closures for several months in 2020. The
situation was mitigated when the ports and airports opened in the first half of 2021.

COVID-19 also affected regular local business operations. The staff were requested to work on a roster
basis and a work from home concept had to be adopted as per the health guidelines.
With the vaccination programs rolling-out and the advancement in research and development globally
to find new medications for the virus, we expect the effects of the pandemic will be reduced to a
manageable level in Sri Lanka by the mid to end 2022.
5.10 Customers and Degree of Dependence
Company’s business model has both Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B)
elements. B2C revenue accounts for 97% of total revenue (for the year ended 31st March 2021) of
Kapruka Holdings Limited and the balance revenues are generated by corporate customers. The retail
sales are spread out across a large consumer base, therefore Company’s revenues does not have any
material dependency on any single customer.
TABLE 5-2 : DEPENDANCY OF KEY CUSTOMERS
Category % of revenues dependent on the client

for the year ended 31st Mar 2021
Retail 97%
Corporate 3%
5.11 Suppliers and Degree of Dependence
Kapruka together with its subsidiaries provides more than 135,000 products on its platform and have
managed to establish partnerships with more than 500 brands. The Company has a tight control over its
suppliers as it has direct buying arrangements with them. Unlike the marketplace e-commerce models
where that rely on a scattered assemble of suppliers, Kapruka has established long-lasting relationships
with the suppliers as a well-known B2B buyer which has encouraged the suppliers to prioritise Kapruka.
This has ensured Kapruka of a continued supply and sourcing of goods. Therefore, there is no material
dependency on suppliers in terms of the overall business operations of the Company. Furthermore,
Kapruka has an exceptional track record of timely payments to its suppliers during the last 15+ years
which has built trust and confidence in suppliers.

The financial statements up to FY2021 (years ending March 31st 2021 and prior) are prepared as
standalone company prior to restructuring. The 7M FY22 reflect the financial statements post
restructuring for Group and Company separately. Please refer Annex C for interim financial statements
for October 2021 and Limited Review by the Auditors. Kapruka E-commerce (Pvt) Limited was a newly
incorporated entity and will carry forward the business operations that were previously conducted under
Kapruka Holdings Limited which is now being Listed as mentioned in Section 5.3.
In the financial year ended March 2021, the Company’s operations were temporarily disrupted by the
sudden lockdowns that were imposed due to the Covid pandemic, which resulted in lower revenues and
profitability. In the current post pandemic situation, sales orders have risen significantly compared to
the previous year as e-commerce adoption has increased and more people are regularly ordering online
than in the past. Further, the Company scaled up cross border operations this year, which contributed
to increased sales and profitability. The Company is also benefitting from currency conversion on the
orders placed by foreign expat customers. Administrative and distribution costs have increased with the
higher volume of sales as the Company incurs additional expenditure on order fulfillment, such as labor,
packaging, transport and other related costs.

The Company may, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and the Companies Act No.
07 of 2007, make dividend payments by way of interim and final dividends to its shareholders in relation

Company may pay a dividend out of the distributable profits to the shareholders of the Company, in
respect of each financial year as determined by the Board of Directors subject to;
▪ The solvency requirements of the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007, and
▪ Cash flow position of the Company, return from operations, business prospects, current and
expected obligations, funding needs for growth opportunities, maintenance of a strong capital
structure and any other factor which the Board of Directors may deem relevant

information of prospective investors along with other disclosures pertaining the pre and post
parent entity structure of the company graphically illustrated. The company has made the said

E-commerce sales skyrocketed in 2020 as consumers turned to their connected devices for their grocery,
apparel, and home furnishing purchases during the covid-19 lockdowns. The convenience of e-
commerce, combined with this change in consumer behaviour, reflects a stronger demand for online
shopping, post-pandemic (Source: Shopify14).

10.1 Global e-commerce outlook post-pandemic
As countries locked down and retailers were forced to close, e-commerce reached an all-time high of
16.4% of total global retail sales. In addition to the Gen-Z and millennial population, the older
generations has also moved to online shopping. According to a global survey across 11 markets by
Shopify, 84% of consumers shopped online during the pandemic.
Lockdowns, travel bans, and retail closures forced the consumer online, and the world’s largest retailers
soon followed, in some cases selling direct to consumer for the first time. Many new competitors were
not equipped to compete on customer experience, a top differentiator online, giving an edge to brands
with immersive omnichannel experiences. As legacy wholesalers go online and global retail giants like
Walmart expand their e-commerce initiatives, the digital competition is heating up. Likewise,
competitors in product categories not traditionally in demand online are also competing for e-commerce
shoppers (Source: Shopify).
While a post-COVID-19 world is expected to recover more slowly than it did after the 2008–2009 global
financial crisis, e-commerce is in an economic sweet spot as brands and consumers rush online. Nearly
150 million people shopped online for the first time in the pandemic, and the number of e-commerce
buyers will only continue to rise (Source: Shopify). Tech-savvy consumers looking for quick, seamless
purchasing options will continue to lean on e-commerce throughout the next few years—and more
consumers will jump on the bandwagon. (Source: InsiderIntelligence16).

10.3 Overview of the Sri Lankan e-commerce sector
Currently, e-commerce market in Sri Lanka is estimated to be valued at around USD 90 million, which is
less than 1% of the total retail market size in the country. The market is estimated to grow to ~USD 500
million within the next 5-6 years (Source: Daily Mirror18).
Even though the local online retail sector has focused largely on consumer electronics thus far, new
categories like fashion, healthcare and groceries are emerging. Social platforms are also rapidly
becoming a powerful distribution channel for small businesses.
10.4 Sri Lanka’s E-commerce market drivers
The Sri Lankan e-commerce space is driven by several critical factors.
10.4.1 Internet penetration

According to Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lankan (TRCSL) the country had 13 Mn
broadband connections as of 2020, comprising 11 Mn mobile broadband connections and 1.7 Mn fixed
broadband connections. Considering a population of 21.6 Mn this suggests that total internet
penetration stands at 60% while mobile internet penetration stands at 53% both figures on par with the
world statistics. The country has seen a rapid increase in mobile broadband since its introduction in

10.4.2 Affordability and the use of smartphones
Smartphones have become more affordable over the years. Increasingly available instalment payment
schemes have enabled a large portion of the growing middle-income population to afford smartphones.
The improved production efficiency techniques such as low-cost raw material and outsourced
component manufacturing practiced by major smartphone manufacturers also have contributed to the
decline in smartphone prices over the years. In addition, smartphones come with features such as ability
to sync data among devices.
According to Digital 2020 report by we-are-social and Hootsuit 71% of the Sri Lankan internet users have
smartphones20. Below is a summary of digital device ownership.

10.4.4 Advancing online payment infrastructure

Cash on delivery (COD) still accounts for around 80% of online order payments in Sri Lanka, with the
next go-to option for e-commerce being bank transfers. The heavy reliance on COD is mainly as a result
of consumer scepticism, slow adoption of cashless payments, and debit/credit card issues.
However, online payment gateways through the local banks are steadily rising. Most of the commercial
banks have also started partnering with e-commerce platforms in the recent years, leading to a growth
in credit and debit card payments.
10.4.5 Population demographics
The population falling between the age bracket of 25-40 years (c. 29% of the total Sri Lankan population
in 2019), known as Generation Ys or Millennials, are more likely to use e-commerce platforms than other
generations. This group prefers online shopping to traditional alternatives particularly because they are
more tech-savvy and adapt easily to change. Further, Generation Z, who fall within the age bracket of 6-
24 years (c. 32% of the Sri Lankan population in 2019), seem to be far more technologically advanced
compared to their predecessors as they were born into the digital age.

10.4.6 Consumer disposable income
Total private consumption expenditure (PCE) in Sri Lanka witnessed a growth at a CAGR of c. 6% over 2016-
2020. The recent slowdown in YoY growth was mainly as a result of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
pandemic formed adverse conditions in many consumer markets during the year led by mobility restrictions,
working-from-home arrangements and other health-related precautions which made consumers stay away
from the markets, thereby contracting most expenditure categories such as transport, restaurants, hotels,
clothing and footwear.
However, expenditure on essential goods and services such as food and non-alcoholic beverages, housing,
water, electricity, gas and other fuels, health and communication categories have expanded during the year
even amidst a pandemic.

10.5 COVID-19 Impact on the E-commerce Industry of Sri Lanka
The COVID-19 outbreak and its associated social distancing measures, has led to accelerated customer
acquisition as market conditions favour certain segments, such as grocery retailing. The current pandemic
experience is expected to potentially change customer behaviour in the long term, as a local survey carried
out identified that the respondents will opt for online shopping in the months immediately following the
lockdown.
10.6 Challenges to E-commerce Growth in Sri Lanka
Payments - While bank transfers are the go-to option for social commerce Cash on delivery (COD) account
for around 80% of online order payments in Sri Lanka.
Consumer scepticism, slow adoption of cashless payments and debit/credit card issues (not all cards are
automatically activated for online payments) fuel this reliance on COD. The prevalence of COD is also
attributed to newly established merchants, who are unable to opt for expensive payment gateway set-ups.
While local aggregators are offering plug-and-play platform solutions with secure payment gateway systems,
adoption is slow and start-ups in this space are constrained by lack of investments. Although fintech remains
ready for growth, the traction for mobile wallets has been slow locally.
10.7 Industry Players
The e-commerce space does not have any companies listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange. However, there
is a large number of growing smaller unlisted players who offer products and services online. Under Sri
Lankan e-commerce website category, Daraz.lk ranks first while Kapruka ranks second (source: similarweb23).

11. RISK FACTORS
Prior to investing in the Offered Shares, prospective applicants should pay particular attention to the
fact that the Company and its business activities are subject to a number of risk factors which may be
within or outside the control of the Company.
11.1 Risks Related to the Sri Lankan E-commerce Sector
Possible Regulatory Changes:
At present, Sri Lanka does not have a local body to regulate e-commerce businesses. However, the
Consumer Affairs Authority Act, No.9 of 2003 (‘CAAA’) provides general protection for consumers and
traders by establishing the Consumer Affairs Authority in Sri Lanka. The primary objectives of the
establishment of the Authority are to promote effective competition and the protection of consumers
as well as to regulate internal trade. Thus, the Company is required to be aware of the CAAA and the
related regulations which are mainly in place for protection of general consumers.
A key law which facilitates e-commerce in Sri Lanka is the Electronic Transactions Act No.19 of 2006 by
eliminating legal barriers and ensuring legal certainty both within the country and internationally.
Several other laws also support e-commerce such as the Evidence Act No. 14 of 1995, Payment and
Settlement Systems Act No. 28 of 2005, Payment Devices Frauds Act No 30 of 2006, and the Computer
Crimes Act of No 24 of 2007. Increased competition and cybercrimes may demand the government to
consider regulating e-commerce businesses more tightly. The Company will have to adapt to any
changes in the regulatory environment.
Possible deterioration of Macroeconomic factors:
Economic factors such as inflation, income levels, interest rates, commodity prices and exchange rates,
pose a direct risk to the performance of e-commerce companies by impacting the consumer’s purchasing
power. Higher than expected inflation results in increased prices of goods and discourages the purchase
of goods. A deterioration in consumer disposable income or increase in cost of living also affects the
consumer demand especially for luxury consumer items. However, Kapruka’s diversified product
portfolio and its ability to quickly identify the consumer buying patterns and introduce innovative
solutions quickly will enable it to stay ahead of the competition. For example, the company recognised
a shortage of cooking gas during August 2021 and introduced firewood sales which was quickly
embraced as an innovative solution by the online buyers.
Sri Lanka’s foreign exchange rate has been highly volatile over the past year. The Sri Lankan rupee has
witnessed a steep depreciation against its major trading partners. This may have a positive impact to the
Company as local products marketed by Kapruka in global platforms (such as Amazon, Ebay, Etsy and
Walmart) will be relatively cheap for foreign customers. However, imported products sold through the
Kapruka platform may increase in price for local customers.
Increasing competition and new entrants:

The e-commerce industry in Sri Lanka has seen a rapid development recently, boosted by the COVID-19
pandemic which have forced companies to move online. Given the small market size, the possibility of
large global companies entering Sri Lanka is low in the near term. However, more and more local

companies have started selling their products Direct to Customer (DTC) on social media platforms. After
the pandemic, traditional brick and mortar companies have moved to offering their goods and service
online. Kapruka has built brand loyalty and strong supplier relationships over the years in operation. Not
only does Kapruka have the right infrastructure, but it has also gained an understanding of the dynamics
of local consumer behaviour which will provide an edge over new entrants.
11.2 Risks Related to Business Operations
Possible online security breaches

As an e-commerce business, Kapruka is vulnerable to online security breaches and cyber-attacks. Some
of these online security risks can include phishing, website hacking, and unprotected web services. There
are many hackers and spammers who can misuse personal data for spamming, identity theft, and
unsolicited marketing. Kapruka has strong system security measures in place which take preventive
measures against these risks.
Possible system reliability issues

System reliability can be at risk if the system provides erroneous information, crashes or is slow to
respond. System downtime can result in loss of sales while erroneous information may result in damage
to reputation. Therefore, it is important to have a reliable IT infrastructure ecosystem that has the ability
to overcome above issues. Kapruaka engages qualified, knowledgeable developers for its systems
maintenance.
Warehousing and Logistics

Warehousing and logistics operations in e-commerce can become complicated under stressed
situations. Consumers consider timely and error free delivery as a critical factor in shopping online.
Logistics play a major role in timely delivery and order fulfilment. The efficient inventory management
system established by the Company ensures that products sold through the platform do not go out of
stock. Moreover, the Company has an added advantage due to the in-house delivery service
(Grasshoppers) that would help in the timely delivery of the products to the right consumer in the right
condition.
11.3 Risks Related to the IPO
Price Volatility in the Secondary Market: The price of the Shares may fluctuate due to and not limited
to the following: variations in operating results, changes in the operating environment, transitions in the
regulatory front, strategic alliances or acquisitions, industrial or environmental laws, fluctuations in the
market prices for products or raw materials, macroeconomic factors, and external events. Price of Shares
may follow general investor sentiment prevalent in the market at any given time. In addition, the price
of the Shares in the market will fluctuate as a result of share trading volumes.

Notes
A Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company has elected to measure Land at fair value at the date of transition to SLFRS. At the date of
transition to SLFRS, the aggregate of those fair values was Rs. 170,895,452 (31 March 2020 : Rs.
183,803,452). This amount has been recognized in the Revaluation Reserve.
The gain on revaluation recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income for the year ended 31
March 2020 amounted to Rs. 12,908,000.
-11-

B Right-of-use Assets/Lease liability
Under SLFRS for SMEs, a lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. Operating lease
payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. Under SLFRS, as explained in Note 2.3.11, a lessee applies a single recognition and
measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets and
recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the
underlying assets. At the date of transition to SLFRS, the Company measured lease liabilities at the present
orrowing rate at the date
of transition to SLFRS. Right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liabilities
adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. As a result, the Company recognised an
increase of Rs. 17,317,443 (31 March 2020: Rs. 6,468,141) of lease liabilities included under interest-
bearing loans & borrowings and Rs. 15,216,049 (31 March 2020: Rs. 4,461,606) of right-of-use assets.
Under SLFRS for LKAS, assets held under finance leases were capitalized and included in property, plant
and equipment. Under SLFRS, they are presented under right-of-use assets. At the date of transition to
SLFRS, Rs.5,291,550 (31 March 2020: Rs. 3,848,400) was reclassified from property, plant and equipment
to right-of-use assets.
C Retirement Benefit Obligation
Under SLFRS for SME, the Company previously recognized retirement benefit obligations on a simplified
method. Under SLFRS/LKAS, the Company engaged an actuary in order to establish the liability as at the
transition date. As a result, the Company recognised an increase of Rs. 1,458,880 (31 March 2020: Rs.
4,086,002) of Retirement Benefit Obligation and Retained Earnings on the transition date.
Consequently, the charge recognized in the statement of profit or loss relating to retirement benefit
obligations decreased by Rs. 30,225 and actuarial loss of Rs. 2,627,122 was recognized in other
comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2020.
D Deferred Tax Liability
Transitional adjustments reflected in A, B and C resulted in various temporary differences. According to the
accounting policies in Note 24.2, the Company recognized the tax effects of such differences. Deferred tax
adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a
separate component of equity.
E Borrowing Cost
The Company has applied LKAS 23 Borrowing Costs and capitalized borrowing costs relating to all
qualifying assets after the date of transition.
The Company started the construction of a new Building in January 2019. This project is expected to be
completed in December 2021. The carrying amount of the Building at 31 March 2021 was Rs. 195,055,835
(2020: Rs. 144,133,258 and 1 April 2019: Rs. 88,541,648). The Building is financed by a third party in a
common arrangement. The amount of borrowing cost capitalised on the date of transition was Rs. 685,426
(2020: Rs. 12,320,640).
Consequently, finance costs recognized in profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2020 decreased by Rs.
11,635,214.
-12-

2.4 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure
of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability
affected in future periods.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period or in the
period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future.
Fair value of Land
The Company measures the land (classified as property, plant and equipment) at revalued amounts, with
changes in fair value being recognised in OCI. The lands were valued by reference to transactions involving
properties of a similar nature, location and condition.
The Company engaged a valuation specialist to assess fair values as at 1 April 2019, 31 March 2020 and 31
March 2021 for the lands. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the properties are
provided in Note 3.2 to the Financial Statements.
Going Concern
anagement has made an assessment of the Compa

concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, the management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon
going concern. Therefore, the Financial Statements continue to be
prepared on a going concern basis.
Taxation
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulation, changes in tax laws, and the
amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships
and the long-term nature and the complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between
the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future
adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establish provisions, based on
reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in
which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous
tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax
authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the
conditions prevailing in the respective company.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to
determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based on upon the likely timing and the
level of future taxable profits together as with future tax planning strategies.
2.5 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.5.1 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company, as explained in Note 1.2, is in the business of fulfilling orders placed by customers through its
online platform, Kapruka.com. The fulfilment of orders are predominantly trade nature transactions for
which the Company acts as principal, in addition to which the Company also generates revenue through
provision of services such as delivery.
-13-

a) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the
customer, generally on delivery. Transactions entered with retail customers are generally settled in advance
or at the point of delivery whilst transactions with corporate customers are settled within a credit period of 60
to 90 days.
In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods and the services the Company considers the effects
of variable consideration the existence of significant financing, non-cash considerations and consideration
payable to customer (if any). However,
The Company does not offer discounts, warranties or incentives to its customers.
The Company does not receive long-term advances from its customers for the services which entails a
financing element.
The period between the transfer of the promised service to the customer and when the customer pays
for that good will be one year or less
b) Rendering of Services
Revenue from rendering of services, particularly relating to delivery are identified as performance
obligations satisfied at a point in time and is recognized at the point of delivery.
c) Presentation and disclosure requirements
As required for the financial statements, the Company disaggregated revenue recognised from contracts with
customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash
flows are affected by economic factors.
d) Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only
the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of
financial instruments initial recognition and subsequent measurement.
e) Contract Liabilities
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a
customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as
revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or
services to the customer).
2.5.2 Expenditure Recognition
Expenses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss on the basis of a direct association between the cost
incurred and the earnings of specific items of income.
All expenditure incurred in the running of the business has been charged to income in arriving at the profit
for the year.
Repairs and renewals are charged to statement of profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is
incurred.
-14-

2.5.3 Finance Income and Finance Costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised based on the EIR
in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, changes in
the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and losses on hedging instruments that
are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
The interest expense component of finance lease payments is allocated to each period during the lease term
so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
2.5.4 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of an asset that
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of that asset.
The amounts of the borrowing costs which are eligible for capitalisation are determined in accordance with
the in LKAS 23 - Borrowing Costs. The amount so capitalised and the capitalisation rates are disclosed in the
Financial Statements.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
2.5.5 Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial instruments such as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and
non-financial assets such as Land, at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value related disclosures for
financial instruments and non-financial assets that are measured at fair value or where fair values are
disclosed are summarized in the Note 29
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing
the use of unobservable inputs.
-15-

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of
each reporting period.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as Land. Involvement of external
values is decided upon annually by the. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation,
independence and whether professional standards are maintained.
The Management decides, after discussions wit

techniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which
are required to be remeasured or re-
Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the
valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as
explained above.
2.5.6 Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company
owned assets which are held for and use in the provision of the services or for administration purpose and are
expected to be used for more than one year.
Basis of recognition
Property, plant and equipment is recognised if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the
assets will flow to the Company and cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Basis of measurement
Items of property, plant & equipment including construction in progress are measured at cost net of
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for land which is measured at
fair value.
-16-

Owned assets
The cost of property, plant & equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of
the asset. The cost of self- constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and includes the costs of
dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs on
qualifying assets. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is
capitalised as a part of that equipment.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company
depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
Revaluation of land is done with sufficient frequency to ensure that the fair value of the land does not differ
materially from its carrying amount, and is undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.
Any revaluation surplus is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and credited to the asset revaluation
reserve in equity. However, to the extent that it reverses a revaluation deficit of the same asset previously
recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, the increase is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. A
revaluation deficit is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, except to the extent that it offsets an
existing surplus on the same asset recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. Upon disposal, any revaluation
reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant & equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to
the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised
in accordance with the derecognition policy given below.
The costs of the repair and maintenance of property, plant & equipment are recognised in the Statement of
Profit or Loss as incurred.
Derecognition
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant & equipment is derecognised on disposal; or when no
future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gains and losses on derecognition are recognised
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) in the
Statement of Profit or Loss. Gains are not classified as revenue.
Depreciation
The Provision for depreciation is calculated on the cost or valuation of fixed assets in order to write off such
amounts over the estimated useful lives by equal instalments as follows:
Buildings 50 Years
Motor Vehicle 4 Years
Computers 4 Years
Furniture & Fittings 5 Years
Office Equipment 4 Years
Machinery & Equipment 4 Years
Computer Software 10 Years
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and ceases at the earlier of the dates on which the
and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
-17-

2.5.7 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not
capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in comprehensive income in the period in which the
expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as finite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the
amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each
reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible
assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the expense category that
is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.
2.3.5 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is calculated
using the Weighted Average Cost (WAC) method. Cost includes direct materials and a portion of
manufacturing overhead cost based on normal operating capacity.
The cost incurred in bringing inventories to its present location and conditions are accounted using the
following cost formulae.
Trading Items - At actual cost on weighted average basis.

Finished Goods - At actual cost on weighted average basis.
Raw Materials - At actual cost on weighted average basis.
2.3.6 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
2.3.6.1 Financial Assets
a) Financial Assets - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset
flow characteristics and the Company anaging them. With the exception of trade
receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the
practical expedient, the Company s initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a
financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has
applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under SLFRS 15.
-18-

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it
needs to give rise to cash flows that ar p
amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Company s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in
order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting
contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by
regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the
date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
b) Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories;
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt
instruments)
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and
losses upon de-recognition (equity instruments)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
This category is the most relevant to the Company. The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost
if both of the following conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order
to collect contractual cash flows, and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and
are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised,
modified or impaired.
The Company financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables and amounts due from related
parties.
Financial assets at fair value through OCI (debt instruments)
The Company measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are
met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect
contractual cash flows and selling and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and
impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same
manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised
in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.
-19-

Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI (equity instruments)

Upon initial recognition, the Company can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity
instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under LKAS 32
Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an
instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as
other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when
the Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which
case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject
to impairment assessment.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets
designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily
required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired
for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded
derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and
measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria
for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt
instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so
eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair
value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
The Company s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include investment in quoted equity
instruments and investment in un-quoted equity instruments under other non-current financial assets.
c) Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial
assets) is derecognised when:
o The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or;
o The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
pass- rangement; and either
(a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards
of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-
through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor
transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company
involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower
of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company
could be required to repay.
-20-

d) Impairment of Financial Assets
Further disclosure relating to impairment of financials assets are also provided in the following notes:
o Disclosures for significant assumptions
o Trade receivables, including contract assets
The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at
fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an
approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from
the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.
Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based
on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its
historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the
economic environment. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering
the contractual cash flows.
2.3.6.2 Financial liabilities
a) Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective
hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company ies include trade and other payables, bank overdrafts, loans and borrowings,
financial guarantee contracts, derivatives and amounts due to related parties.
b) Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and
financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in
the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are
not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by SLFRS 9. Separated embedded
derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss so designated at the
initial date of recognition, and only if criteria of SLFRS 9 are satisfied. The Company has not designated any
financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
-21-

Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss when the liabilities
are derecognised as well as through the 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 Statement of
Profit or Loss.
c) Derecognition
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 or
modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
2.3.6.3 Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial
position if, and only if;
There is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and
There is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
2.3.6.4 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined
by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for
short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.
For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate
valuation techniques.
Such techniques may include:

Us ns.
Reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same
A discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
2.3.7 Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations on the basis of normal credit terms and do not bear interest. Trade payables
denominated in a foreign currency are translated into Sri Lankan Rupees using the exchange rate at the
reporting date. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in other income or other expenses.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
-22-

2.3.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits and short-term highly liquid
investments, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in
value.
For the purpose of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and deposits in
banks net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Investments with short maturities i.e. three months or less from the
date of acquisition are also treated as cash equivalents.
2.3.9 Retirement Benefit Obligations
The company has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a
pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity. A defined benefit plans
define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, based on the years of
service and compensation.
Defined Contribution Plans Emplo Fund and Employees Trust Fund

All employees are eligible f ident Fu
with the prevalent statutes and regulations. The company contributes 12% and 3% of gross employee
emoluments to EPF and ETF respectively.
Defined Benefit Plans - Gratuity

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The defined
benefit is calculated internally by the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates that are denominated in the
currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the
related liability.
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on
an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Key assumptions used in determining the defined
retirement benefit obligations are given in Note 15. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the
carrying amount of defined benefit obligations. The gratuity liability is not funded in the planned assets.
Provision has been made for retirement gratuities from the beginning of service for all employees, in
conformity with LKAS 19 on employee benefits. However, under the Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of
1983, the liability to an employee arises only on completion of 5 years of continued service.
2.3.10 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event. Where 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.
2.3.11 Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
2.3.11.1 Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
-23-

2.3.11.2 Right-of-Use Assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of
right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the
assets, as follows:
Right-of-Use Assets - 1 to 4 years (approximated)
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the
exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
2.3.11.3 Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by
the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company
exercising the option to terminate.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are
incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment
occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the
lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if
there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future
payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in
the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
2.3.12 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current 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
financial statements and computed in accordance with the provisions of the Inland Revenue Act.
-24-

Deferred Taxation
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized
for all temporary differences, except:
Where the deferred tax liability arises from an asset or liability in a transaction that affects neither the
accounting profit nor the taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and
unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be
utilized, except:
Where the deferred tax assets relating to deductible temporary differences arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable
profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the deferred tax assets to be
utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be
recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
assets are realized or the liabilities are settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the Statement of Comprehensive Income is recognised
outside the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or Statement of Other
Comprehensive Income.
Sales Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax, except:
Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of the expense item as applicable
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included. The net amount of sales tax
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the
statement of financial position.
2.6 NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The following SLFRS have been issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka that have an
effective date in the future and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.
SLFRS 17: Insurance Contracts

SLFRS 17 is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and
measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, SLFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance
Contracts (SLFRS 4). SLFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct
insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees
and financial instruments with discretionary participation features.
SLFRS 17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023.
-25-

Amendments to SLFRS 9, LKAS 39, SLFRS 7, SLFRS 4 and SLFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark
Reform (Phase 1 & 2)
The amendments to SLFRS 9 & LKAS 39 provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging
relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected
if the reform gives rise to uncertainty about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the
hedged item or the hedging instrument.
IBOR reforms Phase 2 include number of reliefs and additional disclosures. Amendments supports
companies in applying SLFRS when changes are made to contractual cashflows or hedging relationships
because of the reform.
These amendments to various standards are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after
01 January 2021.
Amendments to SLFRS 16 - COVID 19 Related Rent Concessions
The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying SLFRS 16 guidance on lease modification
accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19 related rent concession from a
lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments
resulting from Covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under
SLFRS16, if the change were not a lease modification.
The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 June 2020.
Amendments to SLFRS 3
The amendments update SLFRS 3 so that it refers to the 2018 Conceptual Framework instead of the 1989
Framework. They also add to SLFRS 3 a requirement that, for obligations within the scope of LKAS 37, an
acquirer applies LKAS 37 to determine whether at the acquisition date a present obligation exists as a result
of past events. For a levy that would be within the scope of IFRIC 21 Levies, the acquirer applies IFRIC 21
to determine whether the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay the levy has occurred by the
acquisition date. Finally, the amendments add an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognise
contingent assets acquired in a business combination.
The amendments are effective for business combinations for which the date of acquisition is on or after the
beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Early application is permitted if an
entity also applies all other updated references (published together with the updated Conceptual Framework)
at the same time or earlier.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use Amendments to LKAS 16
In March 2021, the ICASL adopted amendments to LKAS16-Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds
before Intended Use, which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity
recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and must be
applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the
beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment.
-26-

Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract Amendments to LKAS 37
In March 2021, the ICASL adopted amendments to LKAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to
include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.
tly re directly to a contract to

provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to
contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded
unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The
Company will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the
beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
Amendments to LKAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
In March 2021, ICASL adopted amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of LKAS 1 which specify the
requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
must exist at the end of the reporting period

cted by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
ity instrument would the terms
of a liability not impact its classification
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and must be
applied retrospectively.
None of the new or amended pronouncements are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company in the foreseeable future.

3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Contd...)
3.1 During the financial period, Company has acquired Property, Plant and Equipment to the aggregate value Rs. 70,911,724 (2020 - Rs. 64,421,034) Cash payments
amounting to Rs.70,911,724 (2020 - Rs. 64,421,034) were made during the period for acquisition of Property, Plant and Equipment.
3.2 As part of the company's impairment assessment over Property Plant and Equipment, the Company engaged W.A.T.I.P Jayathilaka an accredited independent
valuer, to determine the fair value of its land. Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence. Valuations are based on active market prices,
adjusted for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. Valuations (Level 3) have been carried out effective 1 April 2019, 31

29.2 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Cash and short term deposits, trade and other receivables, amounts due to/from related parties and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due
to the short term maturities of these instruments.
Long term loans and financial leases approximate their carrying amount as majority of the loan portfolio consist of loans obtained at variable interest rates.
29.3 Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments and non financial assets by valuation technique:
Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : Techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
As at 31 March the Company held the following financial assets and other non-financial assets carried at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position:
Fair value measurement hierarchy for assets as at 31 March 2021:

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial
liabilities is to finance the operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company has loans and other
receivables, trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that arrive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The senior management oversees the management of these risks. The senior management is supported by the Board of Directors
(BOD) that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. BOD provides assurance to the
senior management that the financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that
financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and Company risk appetite. It is the policy
that all activities for risk management purposes are required to be approved by Board of Directors of Kapruka Dot Com (Pvt) Ltd.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.
30.1 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market
prices comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial
instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits and available-for-sale investments.
The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the
30.1.1 Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest
rates. The exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the long-term debt obligations with
fixed interest rates.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. The policy
is to maintain an appropriate balance between fixed and variable rate borrowings.
30.1.2 Interest Rate Sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected.
Increase / Increase / Effect on profit

decrease in basis decrease Rate before tax

As at 31 March 2021 + 50 + 0.5% (900,766)

As at 01 April 2019 + 50 + 0.5% (497,743)

- 50 - 0.5% 497,743
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
30.1.3 Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
exchange rates. The exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the import of raw materials, finished
goods and packing materials.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Contd...)
30.1.4 Foreign currency sensitivity
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD exchange rate, with all other variables held constant. The
impact on the profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities including non-designated foreign
currency derivatives and embedded derivatives. The impact on the pre-tax equity is due to changes in the fair value of forward
exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges and net investment hedges. The exposure to foreign currency changes for all other
currencies is not material.

30.2 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including
deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
30.2.1 Trade Receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each company subject to the established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit
risk management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on the established credit risk evaluation policy and individual credit limits are
defined in accordance with this assessment.
Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
Minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on actual incurred
historical data.
Management has assessed the existing and anticipated effect of COVID -19 on recoverability of trade and other receivable and concluded that
Company have significant doubt on recoverability of trade and other receivable. Therefore, no incremental impairment allowance has been
recognised.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Contd...)
30.2.2 Cash Deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed in accordance with the Company treasury policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only
with approved counterparties as per this policy.
30.3 Liquidity Risk
The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds by setting up a minimum liquidity level. The objective is to maintain a balance
between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, and finance leases. The Company 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.
