LAXAPANA BATTERIES PLC / Annual Report 2010-2011 3 Chairman’s Review It gives me much pleasure to present to you on behalf of the Board of Directors the Annual Report and the Audited Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2011 and also to welcome you to the 55th Annual General Meeting of the Company.
The peaceful domestic environment after the 30 year trauma of civil unrest and with the gradual recovery of the global economy the Sri Lankan economy too recorded a promising growth of 8% in the year 2010. For many years the main stay of the battery market has been the farming sector of the country. The heavy rains experienced by the country resulting in severe flooding during the latter part of the year however adversely affected the agricultural sector, specially the paddy farming sector. In this economic environment, your Company had achieved a turnover of Rs. 316. Million, recording a growth of 18% over the turnover of Rs. 267. 9 Million which was achieved during the previous financial year. During the current financial year the Company made a profit before tax of Rs. 12. 8 Million, which is an improvement against the loss of Rs. 12. 2 Million recorded during the previous financial year. This profit was achieved after the extraordinary write off of Rs. 6. 5 Million for obsolete plant and machinery. In my previous year’s review I drew attention to the declining sales of the D-Size batteries on account of the increasing popular usage of energy saving lighting equipment.
This trend continued and is evident during the current year too. To circumvent the declining sales of the traditional batteries, the medium term strategy adopted by the Company continues to focus on trading opportunities and also adopting many strategies to mitigate the loss arising from the declining volumes of our standard D-Size batteries. The Company is actively seeking new opportunities and is in discussion with overseas principals to diversify its businesses to ensure the long term viability and profitability of the Company.
I take this opportunity to thank all the shareholders for the continued confidence in the Company and the employees for their dedication and hard work during the year and to my colleagues on the Board for their invaluable counsel at all times.

The registered office of the Company and the principal line of business are given on the inner back cover of this report. 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION 2. Statement of Compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards (SLAS’s) adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL), and the requirements of the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 24th June 2011. 2. 2 Basis of Measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain categories of property, plant and equipment, which are measured at fair value and retirement benefit obligations which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligations. 2. 3 Functional and Presentation Currency The financial statements are presented in Sri Lankan Rupee which is the Company’s functional currency. 2. Use of Estimates and Judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with SLAS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that influence the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. ??? Judgments and estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Hence actual experience and results may differ from these judgments and estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes: Note 18 ??? measurement of defined benefit obligations 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies set out below are consistent with those used in the previous year. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation. The Directors have made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as going concern in the foreseeable future, and they do not foresee a need for liquidation or cessation of trading. 3. 1 Foreign Currency Translation Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Sri Lanka Rupees at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction.
All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the Sri Lanka Rupees at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance 16 LAXAPANA BATTERIES PLC / Annual Report 2010-2011 Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd… ) sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated using exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. The resulting gains and losses are accounted for in profit and loss. 3. 2 ASSETS AND BASES OF THEIR VALUATION Assets classified as current assets on the Balance Sheet are cash and cash equivalents and those which are expected to be realised in cash during the normal operating cycle or within one year from the reporting date, whichever is shorter. on the date of valuation.
Revaluation is made with sufficient regularity to ensure that their carrying amount does not differ materially from their fair value at the reporting date. 3. 2. 1. 3 Leased Assets Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of future minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. The resulting lease obligation is classified as Finance Lease Obligations net of unamortised finance costs. 3. 2. 1. Subsequent Costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and 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 those parts that are replaced is derecognised in accordance with the derecognition policy given below. The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit and loss as incurred. 3. 2. 1. 5 Derecognition The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no 3. 2. 1 Property, Plant & Equipment 3. 2. 1. Recognition and measurement Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are measured at cost/valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 3. 2. 1. 2 Owned assets Cost 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 assets to a working condition for their intended use. All items of property, plant & equipment are initially recognised at cost. Property, Plant & Equipment has been subsequently revalued, and the resultant surplus credited to the Revaluation Reserve.
The revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings over the useful period of the respective assets that have been revalued. The revalued amount is the market value of the asset as determined by a qualified valuer LAXAPANA BATTERIES PLC / Annual Report 2010-2011 17 Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd… ) future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses on derecognition are recognised in profit and loss and gains are not classified as revenue. 3. 2. 3 3. 2. 1. 6 Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows. Buildings on freehold land Plant & Machinery Furniture and Fittings Equipment Motor Vehicles 50 years 15 years 7 years 7 years 4 years in the normal course of business after allowing for cost of realisation and/ or cost of conversion from their existing state to saleable condition. Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables are stated at the amounts they are estimated to be realised, inclusive of provisions for bad and doubtful debts. Other receivables and dues from Related Parties are recognised at cost less provision for bad and doubtful receivables. . 2. 4 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 liquid 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 bank net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 3. 2. 5 Impairment of Assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects Depreciation of an asset commences when the asset is available for use and ceases at the earlier of the date in which the asset is derecognised and held for sale. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date. 3. 2. 2 Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowances for obsolete and slow moving items. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in-firstout principle.
Net realisable value is the price at which inventories can be sold 18 LAXAPANA BATTERIES PLC / Annual Report 2010-2011 Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd… ) current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. A CGU is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other asset groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss.
Reversal of impairment losses are recognised only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 3. 3 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS Liabilities classified as current liabilities on the Balance Sheet date are those that fall due for payment on demand or within one year from the reporting date. Non-current liabilities are those balances that fall due for payment later than one year from the reporting date. All known liabilities have been accounted for in preparing the financial statements. 3. 3. 1 Employee Benefits 3. 3. 1. Defined Contribution Plans – EPF & ETF A defined contribution plan is a postemployment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to Employees Provident Fund and Trust Fund are recognised as an expense in profit and loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. 3. 3. 1. 2 Defined Benefit Plan- Retiring Gratuity A defined benefit plan is a postemployment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually using the Projected Unit Credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates that apply to the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related liability. Provision has been made for retiring gratuities from the first year of service for all employees in conformity with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard No. 16 Employee Benefits. However, according to the Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983, the liability for gratuity to an employee arises only on completion of 5 years of continued service with the Company. Short – Term Benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
LAXAPANA BATTERIES PLC / Annual Report 2010-2011 19 Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd… ) 3. 3. 2 Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be measured reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are stated at their cost. Capital Commitments and Contingencies All material capital commitments and contingent liabilities of the Company are disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements. 3. 4. 1. 2 Interest Income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis. 3. 4. 1. Royalty Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis. 3. 4. 1. 4 Others Other income is recognised on an accrual basis. Gains and losses on the disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment have been accounted for in profit and loss. 3. 4. 2 Expenditure Recognition All expenditure incurred in running the business and in maintaining the Property, Plant and Equipment in a state of efficiency has been charged to revenue in arriving at the profit for the year. For the purpose of presentation of Income Statement, the directors are of the opinion that “function of expenses method” present fairly the elements of the enterprises performance, and hence such presentation method is adopted. 3. 4. 2. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. 3. 4. 2. 2 Financing Income and Expenses Finance income comprises gains on translation of foreign currency. Finance expense comprises interest payable on borrowings and losses on translation of foreign currency. The interest expense component of finance lease payments is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to 3. 3. 3 3. 3. 4 3. 4 INCOME STATEMENT 3. 4. 1 Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised. 3. 4. 1. Sale of Goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, revenue can be measured reliably, there is no continued management involvement with the goods, recovery of the consideration is probable and the cost of the transaction can be measured reliably. 20 LAXAPANA BATTERIES PLC / Annual Report 2010-2011 Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd… ) produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 3. 4. 2. 3 Income Tax Expense Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous year.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for tax purposes. Deferred tax is measured at rates applicable to the temporary differences when they reverse based on the laws enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. 3. 5 GENERAL 3. 5. 1 Events Occurring After Balance Sheet Date All material post Balance Sheet events have been considered and where appropriate adjustments to or disclosures have been made in the financial statements. 3. 5. Earnings per Share The Company presents basic earnings per share (EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 3. 6 CASH FLOW STATEMENT The cash flow statement is prepared under the “indirect method”. Interest paid is classified as operating cash flows whereas interest received classified as investing cash flows. 3. 7 SEGMENTAL REPORTING A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged in providing products and services, which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments.
The Company’s business comprises of manufacture of dry cell batteries and import of Zinc Chloride Penlite & AAA batteries.
