I. Reporting Entity
Sri Lanka Telecom PLC (the ‘Company’) is a company domiciled in Sri Lanka. The address of the Company’s
registered office is Lotus Road, Colombo 1. The condensed separate interim financial statements relate to Sri
Lanka Telecom PLC. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’)
as at 30 June 2019 and for the six months ended 30 June 2019 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries
(together referred to as the ‘Group’).
The Group is primarily involved in providing a broad portfolio of telecommunication services across Sri Lanka.
In addition, the range of services provided by the Group include, inter-alia, internet services, data services,
domestic and international leased circuits, broadband, satellite uplink, maritime transmission, IPTV service and
directory publishing service. The Company is listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Sri Lanka
Accounting Standard - LKAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and do not include all the information required
for a complete set of SLFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain
events and transactions that are significant for an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position
and performance since the last audited financial statements as at 31 December 2018 and for the year ended 31
December 2018.
These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 08 August 2019.
The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the audited
financial statement as at 31 December 2018 and for the year ended 31 December 2018 except for changes
required due to adoption of the SLFRS 16 - Operating Leases with effective from 01 January 2019.
The Group adopted SLFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial
application of 1 January 2019. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient allowing the standard to
be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying LKAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date
of initial application.
As required by LKAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed in Note VIII.
The management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense when preparing these interim
financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources
of estimation were the same as those applied to the audited financial statements as at 31 December 2018 and for
the year ended 31 December 2018.
