GUARDIAN CAPITAL PARTNERS PLC

INTERIM REPORT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2018 A CARSON CUMBERBATCH COMPANY.

Managers Review For the period ended 30th June 2018 Activity in the private equity and venture capital market was subdued, continuing from the trend seen last year. We have received a few deals and are in the process of evaluating them. For the 3 months ended 30th June 2018, Guardian Capital Partners PLC (GCP) recorded a loss of Rs.13.6 Mn. This is an improvement over last year, as results of the June quarter last year included an impairment charge of Rs. 42.1 Mn. Revenues increased due to higher interest income and dividend income. Adoption of SLFRS 9 and impacts to the financial statements During the quarter under review the Company adopted the new Accounting Standard on Financial Instruments SLFRS 9 effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018. As per the SLFRS 9, an entity has the option to classify its equity investments either as financial assets held for fair value through profit or loss or financial assets held for fair value through other comprehensive income (latter previously recorded as Available for Sale Financial Assets ). On financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, SLFRS 9 requires all gains or losses, both realized or unrealized, to be recognized in the other comprehensive income. This is in contrast to the previous accounting treatment of this category, where cumulative realized gains and losses were routed through the statement of Profit or Loss at the point of disposal. Therefore, taking the said guidelines of the new Accounting Standard in to consideration the Company has classified its equity investments, as Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, the most prudent classification for an Investment Entity. Accordingly, this classification requires recognizing all gains/ (losses) arising from changes in fair values due to market prices fluctuations and valuations in the Statement of Profit or Loss. However, as a result, going forward, the net profit of the Company will be more vulnerable to short-term stock market fluctuations with the recognition of fair values of the entire listed equity portfolio in the profit or loss which may distort the performance of the fund at times. As per the previous Accounting Standard, the Company had classified its listed equity investments as available for sale financial assets category recognizing fair value changes in other comprehensive income except the impairment losses and only upon disposals the net gains were recognized in Profit or Loss Guardian Fund Management Limited Investment Managers 07 th August 2018 -Page 1-

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (All figures are in Sri Lankan Rupees '000 unless otherwise stated). 1 Basis of Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The Interim Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in consistence with the accounting policies and methods applied for the year ended 31st March 2018 except as disclosed in note 1.1 - "adoption of SLFRS 09 - Financial Instruments". These Interim Financial Statements are in compliance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - "Interim Financial Reporting" ( LKAS 34 ). Further, the provision of the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007 have been considered in preparing the Interim Financial Statements of the Company. 1.1 Adoption of SLFRS 09 - Financial Instruments The Company has initially adopted SLFRS 9 Financial Instruments with effect from 1st April 2018 in preperation of its financial statements. The effect of applying this standard is described below. Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities SLFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in LKAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous LKAS 39 categories for financial assets, held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. The impact of SLFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial assets is set out below. Under SLFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost (AC), fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under SLFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The following table is the reconciliation of original measurement categories and carrying value in accordance with LKAS 39 and the new measurement categories under SLFRS 9 for the Company s financial assets as at 1st April 2018. Note Original classification under LKAS 39 New classification under SLFRS 9 Original carrying amount under LKAS 39 New carrying amount under SLFRS 9 Financial assets Investment in equity securities - quoted 1.1 Available-for-sale FVTPL 183,105 183,105 Investment in equity securities - private equity 1.1 Available-for-sale FVTPL 115,009 115,009 Trade and other receivables 1.2 Loans and receivables Amortised cost 4,250 4,250 Investment in unit trust - unquoted 1.3 FVTPL FVTPL 374,056 374,056 Cash at bank and cash in hand 1.2 Loans and receivables Amortised cost 631 631 Securities purchased under resale agreements 1.2 Loans and receivables Amortised cost 13,805 13,805 Total financial assets 690,856 690,856 1.1 1.2 1.3 The non-derivative financial assets that were designated as available-for-sale under the LKAS 39, have been classified as FVTPL, because they are managed and the performance is monitored on a fair value basis. Trade and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under LKAS 39 are now classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Under LKAS 39, these investments were designated as FVTPL because they were managed on a fair value basis and their performance was monitored on that basis. These assets have been classified as measured at FVTPL under SLFRS 9. Impairment of financial assets SLFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model in LKAS 39 with a forward looking expected credit loss (ECL) model. This will require considerable judgement about how changes in economic factors affect ECL, which will be determined on a probability weighted basis. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets. Under SLFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases, - 12 month ECL: these are ECL that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and - lifetime ECL: these are ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 1.2 Transition Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of SLFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below. Comparative periods have been not been restated. Any differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of SLFRS 9 are recognised in retained earnings and reserves as at 1st April 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for comparative periods do not reflect the requirements of SLFRS 9 but rather those of LKAS 39. - The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held. - The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.
