NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

Raw materials and containers (empty bottles<br />

and crates) - cost of purchase together with<br />

any incidental expenses.<br />

Work-in-progress - raw material cost and a<br />

proportion of manufacturing expenses.<br />

Finished goods - raw material cost and<br />

manufacturing expenses in full.<br />

Maintenance stock - on a weighted average basis.<br />

Appropriate provisions will be made for the value of<br />

any stocks where there has been no movement for a<br />

period greater than 365 days.<br />

Net realisable value is the price at which inventories<br />

can be sold in the normal course of<br />

business after allowing for cost of realisation and<br />

/ or cost of conversion from their existing state to<br />

saleable condition.<br />

3.5 Long Term Investments<br />

Investments classified as long term are carried at cost.<br />

If there is a decline other than temporary,<br />

in the value of long term investment, the carrying<br />

amount is reduced to recognise the decline.<br />

3.6 Trade and Other Receivables<br />

Trade and other receivables are stated at the<br />

amounts estimated to be realised less provision<br />

for bad and doubtful debts. A provision Is<br />

recognised against the trade receivables when<br />

there is an evidence that the Company will not be<br />

able to collect all amounts due. The provision is<br />

measured at the difference between the relevant<br />

trade receivable's carrying amount and the estimated<br />

realisable value and recognised in the Income<br />

Statement under Distribution Expenses.<br />

3.7 Cash & Cash Equivalents<br />

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in<br />

hand, bank demand deposits and short term<br />

highly liquid investments readily convertible<br />

to known amounts of cash and subject<br />

to insignificant risk of changes in value.<br />

LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS<br />

Liabilities classified as Current Liabilities in the<br />

Balance Sheet are those obligations payable<br />

on demand or within one year from the Balance<br />

Sheet date. Items classified as Non - Current<br />

Liabilities are those obligations which will be<br />

repaid after a period of one year from the<br />

Balance Sheet date.<br />

All known liabilities have been accounted for in<br />

preparing these Financial Statements.<br />

3.9 Agent Deposits<br />

Containers issued to agents are secured<br />

against a refundable deposit representing the<br />

cost. Refunding of deposits could arise due<br />

to a discontinuance of an agency or due to a<br />

contraction in sales.<br />

3.10 Retirement Benefits<br />

The Company is liable to pay gratuity in terms<br />

of the Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983.<br />

The Gratuity Provision for employees has been<br />

made on the basis of an actuarial valuation as<br />

at 31st March <strong>2010</strong>, which was carried out by<br />

Mr M Poopalanathan, (AIA), Actuarial<br />

and Management Consultants (Pvt.) Limited.<br />

As recommended by the Sri Lanka Accounting<br />

Standard No 16 " (Revised <strong>2010</strong>) Employee<br />

Benefits" , the 'Projected Unit Credit' (PUC)<br />

method has been used in this valuation and the<br />

premium for the year is charged as an expense<br />

to the Income Statement in the period to which it<br />

relates. The principal assumptions made are given<br />

below:<br />

- The Company will continue in business as a<br />

going concern.<br />

- The liability is not externally funded.<br />

Defined Contribution Plans<br />

Employees' Provident Fund and Employees'<br />

Trust Fund<br />

All employees who are eligible for Employees'<br />

Provident Fund contributions and Employees' Trust<br />

Fund contributions are covered by relevant<br />

contribution funds in line with the respective statutes.<br />

3.8 Impairment of Assets<br />

Identifiable assets of the Company are reviewed<br />

at each balance sheet date to determine<br />

whether there is any indication of impairment.<br />

If any such indication exists, the recoverable<br />

amount of the asset is estimated and shown<br />

in the Balance Sheet. The impairment loss is<br />

recognised in the Income Statement.<br />

Company contributions to the defined contribution<br />

plans are recognised as an expense in the Income<br />

Statement when incurred.<br />

3.11 Provisions<br />

A provision is recognised if the Company has a<br />

legal or constructive obligation as a result of a<br />

past event which can be estimated reliably and it<br />

is probable that an outflow of economic benefits<br />

will be required to settle the obligation.<br />
