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 />
