1 INTERIM REPORT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2017 A CARSON CUMBERBATCH COMPANY

2 Managers Review For the period ended 30th June 2017 Financials and portfolio performance The Ceylon Guardian portfolio is segmented into discretionary and non discretionary components. The discretionary component of the portfolio is made up of a trading portfolio and long term portfolio, which are actively managed. The non- discretionary component refers to the strategic holding. The discretionary portfolio has provided an impressive performance of 10.38% CAGR over a five year period compared to the ASPI performance of 6.32%. The three year return for the portfolio was 6.82% CAGR thereby outperforming the APSI by 4.93% CAGR. The superior performance relative to market is a result of a successfully implemented value investing strategy practiced by Guardian Five Year Track Record Guardian Discretionary Portfolio Guardian ASPI S&P20 CAGR : % CAGR : 6.90 % CAGR : 6.32 % 60 June Sep Dec Mar June Sep Dec Mar June Sep Dec Mar June Sept Dec Mar June Sept Dec Mar June 2012/ / / / / /18 For the period under review, the portfolio was mainly buying into stocks such as Tokyo Cement and Softlogic Holdings. Tokyo Cement has shown strong growth in the recent past with recent capacity expansions coming on line. Demand for cement is growing through infrastructure development and demand for housing. We expect the company to continue to perform well with continued cost management exercises and strong demand. We continue to invest in Softlogic, as management continues to strengthen its efforts on core sectors of retail, healthcare and financial services. We expect the company to benefit in the long term as its businesses grow and eventually begin to marginalize debt levels. The discretionary portfolio remains largely exposed to the banking, finance & insurance sector, food & beverage sector and diversified sector. -Page 1-

Our successful strategy which has prevailed for well over a decade remains focused on a bottom up investment selection where it is very much investee company focused with a bias on medium to long term stock picking. The total portfolio appreciated from Rs Bn to Rs Bn during the period of review. Ceylon Guardian Investment Trust PLC reported a consolidated profit after tax of Rs Mn for the period of three months ended 30 th June 2017, compared to a profit of Rs Mn reported for the same period last year. As at end June 2017 the Group s earnings per share stood at Rs and Net Asset Value when the portfolio is valued at market prices was Rs per share, an increase of 6.6% for the period. This highlights a steep discount of 44% in the traded market price per share of Rs As at 30/06/ /03/2017 Change % ASPI 6, , NAV per share (Rs.) Market price per share (Rs.) (13.4) Discount of NAV to market price per share 44% 31% Update on the market The All Share Price Index provided gains over 3 consecutive months to provide a return of 11.3% for the quarter ending June Average daily turnover for the period indicated improved activity levels at Rs. 1.1 bn. Much of the positive momentum was brought about by foreign net buying amounting to Rs. 22 billion. A global demand for risk assets resulted in emerging and frontier markets benefitting from capital inflows. Domestic institutional and retail investors remained relatively inactive awaiting macroeconomic pressures to alleviate. Market earnings are expected to increase by a moderate 10% and 8% for FY 2018 and FY 2019 with tight monetary policy currently in place resulting in lower economic activity. The historical PER of the Colombo Stock Exchange was recorded at 11.48x as at 30 th June 2017 revealing that the CSE remains undervalued compared to historical multiples. We remain confident that the CSE provides significant upside in the long term return investors. The Macroeconomic outlook is gradually beginning to improve with focus by relevant officials on the key sensitive areas. Fiscal consolidation continues to improve and the implementation of the new Inland Revenue Act will see further progress made on this front. External debt repayment capacity has improved with gross official reserves of improving to USD 5 billion as at 30 th June Infrastructure related projects are also underway along with a renewed effort on trade agreements with key partner countries. However, concerns still remain with respect to overall debt to GDP levels, inflation and attraction of FDI. -Page 2-

4 Private Equity and Unit Trust Deal flow continued to be challenging during the 1st quarter, continuing from the trend seen in the last financial year. However we are in the process of evaluating a couple of investments that have come up in the venture capital space. Avenues to exit out of two investments is being explored, and we hope to conclude the process over the next couple of quarters. A provision of Rs mn had to made against the investment in Swiss Institute for Service Industry Development (Pvt) Ltd due to an alleged misappropriation of funds. The unit trust business, Guardian Acuity Asset Management, through our Joint Venture with Acuity Partners has grown to Rs. 6.1 billion as at June 2017 from Rs. 4.0 billion on 31 st March However with the corporate tax shelter available for unit trusts potentially being withdrawn we will see the industry being challenged to grow. Our marketing strategy is being revamped to orient ourselves to servicing the retail market going forward. Guardian Fund Management Limited Investment Managers 02 nd August Page 3-
