Deputy Chairman
25th May 2009
Deputy Chairman's Review
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you on
behalf of the Board of Di rectors of Seylan
Developments PLC to our 18 Annual General
Meeting and present the Directors Report and the
Audited Accounts for the financial year ended 31
December 2009. Continuing from the pervious
years we have maintained our focus on our core
business of leasing of office spaces and luxury
apartments while implementing strategies to
generate additional income from other sourcestoo.
As I anticipated in my statement to you last year
the property market towards the end of the
financial year 2009, did show an appreciation in
value mainly due to the peaceful country situation
during the latter part of the year unlike the previous
year where we had to absorb a huge value
impairment in our profit & loss account.
Consequently, we have been able to acquire a
fair value gain of Rs. 115,149,393 Mn to the
profit and loss account during the financial year
under review. We anticipate a further value
enhancement in the current year and hopefully
will be able to announce a further value addition
to our business.
Our loss of Rs. 141,391,937 shows a reduction
from the previous year Rs. 392,467,351. The loss
in the year under review is mainly due to the
high finace cost of Rs. 193,313,562 we are forced
to incur due to our high exposures to bank
borrowings. Therefore, we anticipate making somestrategic capital restructuring to our business model
in order to overcome this situation in 2010.
Despite of the prevailed adverse economic
conditions, you may observe that we have
managed to keep the 'increase of expenses' to a
bare minimum. In addition, we have subsequently
taken some drastic cost-reduction measures to
reduce operation costs in the present financial
year, 2010.
The credit must be given to the management and
the Staff for their commitment & hard work undertrying conditions that prevailed during most of
2009. Further, I also wish to express my gratitude
to the new Boad of Di rectors for their valuable
support and advice.
I also wish to thank all the past Board Members
for their contribution made for the betterment of
the Company during their tenors.
Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors I take
this opportunity to thank our tenants for theircontinuous business partnership and also our
shareholders for the confidence placed in the
Company.
