(c) Impairment tests for goodwill<br />

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on the Value In Use (VIU) calculations.<br />
The VIU calculations apply Discounted Cash Flow Model using cash flow projections based on the forecasts and projections<br />
approved by the management covering a ten year period. Cash flows beyond the ten year period are extrapolated using<br />
the estimated growth rates as stated below. The growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the<br />
business in which the CGUs operates.<br />
In the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, the free cash flows have been discounted by the pre-tax discount rate.<br />
These forecasts and projections reflect management expectations of revenue growth, operating costs and margins for each<br />
CGU based on past experience and future plans and strategies.<br />
The following assumptions were applied in the value in use computation.<br />
1 EBIDTA margin<br />
Projected EBIDTA margin is determined based on expected growth potential in fixed telephony/broadband and pay TV<br />
business tapping further in to developing markets.<br />
2 Free cash flow (FCF) growth rate<br />
FCF growth projections are based on expected growth in EBITDA coupled with stabilizing capex to revenue.<br />
3 Pre-tax discount rate<br />
Pre-tax discount rate of the Group is used as the discount rate for cash flow projections.<br />
4 Terminal growth rate<br />
Terminal growth reflects the management expectations on the fixed telephony, data & infrastructure and television operations<br />
segments’ growth potential in Sri Lanka for the foreseeable future.
