8 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong>Chairman’s MessageAs Europe faces uncertainty with an ongoing sovereign debt crisis and a weakened American economy suffers fromcrippling unemployment and decreasing confidence, we are faced with a global outlook that continues to be volatile.Political uprisings in the Middle East and Africa have only added to these woes.In Sri Lanka, however, we remain cautiously optimistic despite the challenges the country faces in terms of ballooning tradedeficits, rising costs of living and a depreciating currency. Rapidly developing rural areas, increased consumer spending anda surge of foreign direct investment all point to an economy that is poised for growth.We are continuing to explore various options in respect of redeveloping Hotel Swanee. Raising funds for the redevelopmentis a critical factor and could be challenging; we are currently investigating various ways to raise funds, including throughrights issue to existing shareholders, issue of new shares to new investors, etc. We will continue to exercise prudence inBeruwela Walk Inn PLC through cost containment measures where necessary. We remain committed to being an engagedpartner with Sri Lanka to develop the island’s positive tourism potential and tap into the rich appeal of its many culturalattractions, natural beauty, traditional heritage and welcoming people.Ariel P VeraChairman15 th May 2012

The Company always communicates with our trusted touroperators and updates them of the situation in Sri Lanka and mitigates the negative impact arising from the adverse mediapublicity. Furthermore, the sales and marketing division of the Company constantly monitor the advance booking statuswith the respective tour operator and the travel agent to ensure that the occupancy of the hotel is optimized.Operational RiskOperational risk, which is inherent in all business activities, can be caused due to the breakdown of internal controls,information technology failures and human error.

Every endeavor is made to contract the hotel rates in US dollars or Euros to ensure that exposureto adverse exchange fluctuations is minimized. The finance division of the Company monitors exchange rate on a daily basisand ensure that the best rates are obtained for conversion of foreign currency whilst also taking into accounts future trendsto determine the timing of conversion.Interest Rate RiskThe Company debts have been structured utilizing a mix of both fixed and variable interest rate instruments to ensure thatthe financial impact due to volatility in the capital market is minimized.Liquidity RiskThe Company aims to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of funding through the use of borrowings witha range of maturities.Credit RiskWhilst granting credit to tour operators and travel agents is essential, every endeavor is made to obtain advances wherepossible as well as follow up on trade debtors.Recognizing the dynamic nature of the business transactions and having identified the major areas of risk, the Companycontinuously seeks ways and means of strengthening and developing its risk management system to achieve its objectives.
