4.0 PROFILE OF RENUKA HOTELS LIMITED

4.1 History of Renuka Hotels The late Mr. A L Thambiayah who represented Kayts in Sri Lanka’s first two parliaments between 1947 to 1956, and who was Chairman of Cargills and Millers as well as Cargo Boat Dispatch Company Limited, a well known port operator in its day, is credited with the vision that saw the birth of Hotel Renuka. A L Thambiayah saw prospects for the hotel industry when development incentives were offered in 1970 and decided to embark on setting up a star class city hotel on family property in Galle Road, Kollupitiya. He sent his younger son, Ravi, who had just completed a degree in economics, for training at the Royal Lancaster in London. Ravi returned to Colombo to take over the management of Hotel Renuka in June 1972, when the first hotel was commissioned. Renuka City Hotel started operations on the adjacent property in 1995 as a quoted company in order to take full advantage of the incentives given to quoted BOI companies at that time. Renuka City Hotel was listed in 1992. Ravi Thambiayah passed on the baton to his two daughters, Shibani Thambiayah and Arnila Thambiayah, who are now the Joint Managing Directors of the two hotel companies, Renuka Hotels Limited and Renuka City Hotels PLC, from February 2010.

4.2 Business Operations of Renuka Hotels Renuka Hotels Ltd and Renuka City Hotels PLC which form the Renuka Hotels Group own and manage two separate city hotels consisting of a combined room count of 99 rooms including 60 deluxe rooms in the heart of Colombo. The hotels are located adjoining each other at nos. 326 & 328 Galle Road, Colombo 3. The hotel owned and managed by Renuka Hotel Ltd, under the name of ‘Hotel Renuka’, consists of 41 rooms, whilst the hotel owned and managed by Renuka City Hotel PLC, operates under the brand name ‘Renuka City Hotel’ and has 58 rooms. The income and expenditure of the two hotels are identified and accounted for separately in the books of accounts of the respective hotel. The two hotels are conveniently located just steps away from some of the city’s best attractions. Despite being amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, the hotels’ carefully planned interiors ensure a restful and serene getaway for business and leisure travellers alike. The facilities and services of the hotel include a roof top infinity swimming pool and kid’s pool, state-of-the-art gymnasium, same day laundry & dry cleaning service, foreign currency encashment, free newspaper, luggage storage, car hire and tour arrangements, doctor on call, business centre with secretarial services, free parking facilities, banqueting, conference and outside catering facilities, 24 hour room service, in addition to the luxury accommodation, complemented by the highest levels of service designed to cater to the individual discerning taste with true Sri Lankan hospitality. The Palmyrah restaurant, located at the Hotel Renuka focuses on creating an elegant dining space, augmented by only the very finest cuisine. For over 40 years, the Palmyrah has been considered de rigueur by those who enjoy authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The luxury banquet venues, equipped with deluxe interiors and state of the art lighting are ideal for celebrating special occasions, hosting a corporate function or conference. With the flexibility to host

The CSE Listing Rules Section 2.1.3 c) (second para) states that “in the event the applicant entity is seeking a listing on the Exhange by way of an Introduction, such Entity shall ensure that not more than 50% of the shares in the hands of Public Shareholders are held by the three (03) largest Public Shareholders of the entity at the time of listing”. The three largest Public Shareholders of the Company hold more than 50% of the shares held by the Public Shareholders as shown in the table above. In this regard the CSE has granted a waiver on the above requirement taking into account the reasoning set out by the Company together with the Manager to the Introduction in their letter dated 2 November 2016, as given below; At present the top three (03) Public Shareholders hold 19.7097% (more than 50%) out of the total public holding of 36.05%. However, since the Company has 211 Public Shareholders and a total public holding of 36.05%, which is significantly higher than the minimum requirement of 10% as per the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka Directive SEC/LEG/16/11/13 dated 17 November 2016, the top three (03) Public Shareholders owning more than 50% of the public holding would not significantly affect the liquidity of the share. Furthermore, even when the top three (03) Public Shareholders are disregarded in the calculation of the public holding, the Company’s public holding would amount to 16.34% held by 208 Public Shareholders.

4.6.2 Free Transferability of Shares

Upon being listed on the CSE, all Shares shall be freely transferable except for those Shares mentioned in Section 4.6.1 above, disclosed under the ‘shares locked-in’, which will be locked-in to be in compliant with CSE Listing Rules 2.1.1(f).

4.6.3 Other Securities The Company has not issued any convertible debt securities or any other class of shares other than the shares stated above. 4.6.4 Private Issues of Share The Company is not issuing nor are the shareholders disposing of Shares privately in conjunction with the Listing through Introduction. 4.6.5 Share Re-Purchases or Redemptions The Company has not engaged in any share re-purchase, redemption or stated capital reduction exercises in the two years preceding the date of this Introductory Document. 4.6.6 Takeover Offers There have been no takeover offers by third parties in respect of the Company’s Shares during the past two years and no takeover offers have been made by the Company in respect of shares of third parties. 4.6.7 Further Issue of Shares The Company does not intend to raise further funds through a rights issue within the next 12 months subsequent to the listing.

4.7 Taxation

The Company is liable to the following taxes based on the regulations that are currently prevalent; Income Tax Taxation will be based on the elements of income and expenditure as reported in the financial statements and computed in accordance with the provisions of the Inland Revenue Act. Renuka Hotels is currently liable for Income Tax of the hotel operation at the rate of 12% and other income at the rate of 28%. However, as per the revised tax rate structure on profits from business proposed in the Inland Revenue Bill 2017, Renuka Hotels may be liable for income tax on the hotel operations at the rate of 14% from 1 April 2018. Value added Tax Renuka Hotels’ business operations are liable to VAT, under the Value Added Tax Act No. 13 of 2002 and its subsequent amendments, at the rate of 15% at present. Share Transactions Levy (On commencement of trading of Shares on the CSE) Upon the listing of the shares of the Company, a transaction levy at the rate of 0.3% on the sales and purchases of all share transactions is charged from both the buyer and the seller in terms of the Finance Act No. 5 of 2005 as amended.

Withholding Tax (WHT) for Dividends In general, dividends distributed by resident companies out of taxable income to resident or non-resident shareholders are subject to WHT at the rate of 10% under Section 153 of the Inland Revenue Act No. 10 of 2006. The Company is required to deduct dividend tax at source and remit the same to the Department of Inland Revenue. The Inland Revenue Bill 2017 has proposed that the WHT rate on dividends be increased to 14% with effect from 1 April 2018. Other than the WHT referred to above, dividends paid on shares to shareholders of the Company will not be subject to any other Sri Lankan tax. Dividend income received by a company resident in Sri Lanka from another company resident in Sri Lanka does not form part of statutory income and is therefore not taxable in the hands of the recipient company.

4.8 Litigation, Disputes and Contingent Liabilities An action was filed by two individual shareholders against certain other shareholders and the company alleging oppression and mismanagement as detailed in note 31.1 of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2017. The plaintiffs are shareholders of the Company, while the defendants are also shareholders who were at that point in time also acting as directors of the Company. The said action filed by the two individuals, who were plaintiffs in the case (being shareholders of the company), was consequent to a family dispute. The Commercial High Court of the Western Province (exercising civil jurisdiction) had made an order in the said case (H.C. (Civil) 01/2002 (02)), that the shares of the company held by the plaintiffs, be purchased by certain individual shareholders, who were defendants in the case, and had further ordered that failing which, the shares would have had to be repurchased by the Company. This order made by the Commercial High Court, which is a court of first instance, was appealed from, by the defendants, to the Supreme Court, which is the final appellate court, and the said appeal has been pending thereat. During the pendency of the said appeal (S.C. (CHC) Appeal No. 07/2008), the defendants-appellants and the plaintiffs-respondents entered into settlement discussions, which finally culminated in the execution of a formal settlement agreement, entered into between these parties on 22 July 2015 and the said agreement was formally filed in the Supreme Court and the express terms and conditions contained therein, were specifically brought to the attention of the Honourable Court, both by way of an accompanying formal motion that was filed as well as oral submissions made by Counsel. In view of the fact that the said settlement agreement contained several terms and conditions to be fulfilled by the parties thereto, the case was called on several dates in order to ascertain the progress of the same and the Honourable Court was pleased to accommodate the same, so that the final resolution of the matter could be conclusively effected, by and through the satisfaction of all the terms and conditions of the agreement. Thereafter, with due progression, the terms and conditions were fulfilled by the parties and the only condition that remained was for the Company to seek and obtain listing on the Colombo Stock Exchange. The Colombo Stock Exchange issued a formal letter dated 16 October 2017, granting its approval in-principle for the listing of the shares of Renuka Hotels Limited on the Diri Savi Board of the Colombo Stock Exchange.

16

Page 22: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

Renuka Hotels Limited – Introductory Document | 17

Accordingly, when the case came up before the Honourable Supreme Court on 20 October 2017, a copy of the said letter was produced for the perusal of the Supreme Court, which was presided over by His Lordship, Honourable Justice Buwaneka Aluvihare and it was formally intimated to the Supreme Court that the condition with regard to the listing had been complied with in substance and that the only further condition that remains, is for the listing to be effected, in terms of the express terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement executed between the parties. This settlement will result in the judgement of the Commercial High Court that had been appealed from, being pro forma set aside in terms of the settlement between the parties. It was also agreed on the said date (i.e 20 October 2017), before the Supreme Court that immediately upon the shares of the Company being listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange, that the parties would file a joint motion, intimating the same to the Court and that the parties would move to bring the entire case to a complete conclusion by having the impugned judgement of the Commercial High Court, being pro forma set aside by the Court. In view of these very positive development and the case virtually in sight, the Court fixed the case to be mentioned on 5 December 2017. In view of the progression of the above events, culminating in the last day’s proceedings before the Supreme Court, based on the receipt of approval in-principle by CSE for the listing of the Company, the Company believes that it would not encounter the requirement to repurchase the shares since a terms of settlement has been entered into as mentioned above subsequent to the impugned court order, as a result of which the Company does not expect any probable liability on the settlement and no provision has been recognized in the financial statements. The parties pursuant to the execution of the settlement agreement and the several proceedings before the Supreme Court pertaining to the same as well as the in-principle approval from the CSE for the listing and importantly the last day’s (i.e 20 October 2017) proceedings before the Supreme Court where the parties agreed that the settlement could be fulfilled in its entirety and the case accordingly brought to a conclusion it appears highly unlikely at this juncture that there will be any other contingency. However, theoretically at least, in the very remote event of an unforeseen obstacle arising, then once again, theoretically at least, the case would be listed for argument in the Supreme Court. Even in such an event this would still not preclude the parties from making a further attempt at resolving the matter prior to the date of argument. Cases Filed by the Colombo Municipal Council against the Hotel There are 8 cases filed by the Colombo Municipal Council at the magistrate’s court against the Hotel for operating without a license for the years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. No action has yet been taken, pending the outcome of the writ application filed in the court of appeal which has been re-fixed for argument on 28 February 2018. The above cases have been fixed for trial/preliminary objections during October and November 2017. The hotel is operating under a valid licence issued by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority. However, the Trade Licence to operate a hotel within the Colombo municipality area is pending based on the outcome of the municipal council cases mentioned above. The company has adequate resources to settle any liability which may arise from the court’s decision and does not expect any significant impact on the operations of the Company. A best estimate of the liability is based on calculating the tax as 0.5% of the revenue of hotel operations (accommodation and food and beverage) of Renuka Hotel for the years 2008/9 to 2016/17. This amounts to approximately LKR 6,650,000.

17

Renuka Hotels Limited – Introductory Document | 18

The Company was not involved in any arbitration or mediation proceedings in the recent past which had any significant effects on the Company’s financial position or profitability. Further there are no penalties imposed by any regulatory or state authority against the Company, other than any penalties that may arise from the above cases. Except as set out above, the Company does not have any contingent liabilities that would affect its current and future profits, as at 31 August 2017.

4.9 Management Agreements There are no management agreements as at 31 August 2017.

4.10 Material Contracts There are no material contracts entered into by the Company other than those contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

4.11 Details of Commissions Paid No commission has been paid in the two (2) years preceding the Listing or payable for subscribing or agreeing to subscribe or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions for any Shares of the Company.

4.12 Details of Benefits Paid to Promoters No benefit has been paid or given within the two (2) years preceding the Listing and there are no benefits intended to be paid or given to any promoter.

4.13 Degree of Dependence on Customers, Borrowers or Suppliers There is no material dependency on key customers, borrowers or suppliers in terms of the overall business operations of the Company.

4.14 Future Plans for Renuka Hotels Limited The management of the Company proposes to continue with its core business of running a successful city hotel and managing its extensive share portfolio. The Company together with its subsidiary Renuka City Hotels PLC will continue to manage the two hotels owned by the group whereby the hotels will continue to be a preferred accommodation provider for many foreign and local travellers. The facilities provided within the hotels including the restaurants, in-room facilities and other common facilities will be maintained and managed efficiently and effectively in order to ensure that the guests enjoy the benefits of these facilities and the hotels maintain their competitive edge over the competitors. Since the hotel was renovated during the period of August 2014 to May 2015 and the facilities were upgraded simultaneously, using internally generated funds, the management does not foresee the need to invest in overhauling or upgrading the facilities in the short to medium term. However, if the requirement arises, the management in consultation with the Board of Directors will assess the requirement and carryout the developments as necessary. In respect of the investment portfolio, the Company would continue to make necessary changes to the investment portfolio whilst continuing to make any investment decisions after carrying out thorough analysis of the risks and returns of the proposals. The Company will also make changes to

18

Page 24: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

Renuka Hotels Limited – Introductory Document | 19

the investment portfolio by taking into consideration the interest rate movements as well as the capital market movements. Investment decisions are taken by the Chairperson and Key Management Personnel after studying the performance of the quoted companies that they wish to invest in. Investments are made as and when the opportunity arises. No thresholds in respect of investments are currently applicable. Although no major changes are expected in the business operations of the Company, the executive directors are always looking into opportunities to expand the company’s business and to diversify its operations when feasible. Opportunities such as any new government incentives for tourism related entities or any significant surge in tourist arrivals and the demand for accommodation would be considered positively by the Directors, and necessary steps will be taken to either expand or upgrade the facilities as required, after taking into account the related risks and rewards. 4.14.1 Assumptions and Risks Relating to the Future Plans The future plans of the Company as explained above are based on the assumption that the current global and local economic conditions will prevail at its current levels. However, any economic downturn or significant improvement or any other factor that will adversely or favourably affect the tourism sector will result in an alteration of the above mentioned plans. The future plans of the Company will be subject to the risks mentioned in Section 7.1 and 7.2.

7.0 INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS Risk Factors Prospective investors should pay particular attention to the fact that the Company and its business activities are subject to a number of risk factors which may be within or outside the control of the Company. The risk factors that follow may be considered material to investors in making an informed judgment on the Company. If any of the considerations and uncertainties given below develops into actual events, the Company’s business, financial conditions or results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. However, given the strategic initiatives employed by the Company, the business operations of the Company are expected to be sustainable in the foreseeable future.

7.1 Risks Related to the Hospitality Sector Economic Downturn: The global economic conditions are likely to have a direct impact on the leisure sector since this will determine the disposable income of the customers. In addition to this, the local economic conditions will also have an impact on the industry since the infrastructural development will play a major role in attracting the overseas travellers, whilst the local traveller’s disposable income will also depend on the prevalent economic conditions. Furthermore, any changes to the subsidies and incentives provided for the industry will also have a direct impact on the performance of the industry. Political Stability: Any political instability or security related issued would have an adverse impact on the industry since this may give rise to global travel warnings etc. Regional Competition: Changes in the regional competition in terms of better value for money would directly affect the Sri Lankan leisure sector.

7.2 Risks Related to the Business Operations Exchange Rate Fluctuations: Since the Company serves many overseas travellers and engages in procuring supplies from abroad, any changes in the exchange rates may have an effect on the performance of RHL. Operational Risk: Failure of the processes and procedures put in place to ensure the smooth flow of daily operations and any unforeseen events would have an impact on the business operations of the Company. Investment Related Risk: Given the significant investment portfolio of the Company consisting of listed debentures and listed equity shares, the Company is exposed to the risks associated with the changes in the market value of these securities. Any adverse changes in the market prices would expose the Company to incurring losses. Furthermore, the credit risk associated with the investments where the issuer of the security fails to repay the principal and the interested payments, would expose the Company to the risk of losing its investment and investment income either in full or partially. RHL is also exposed to the risk of concentration whereby the Company’s excessive exposure to a particular industry, company or geographic segment will pose a threat to the investment. The liquidity risk associated with investments would mean that the Company is unable to cash-in its investments when required. The Company takes into account the significance of all the above risks and ensures that the

34

Page 40: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

Renuka Hotels Limited – Introductory Document | 35

investments are selected after thorough analysis. Furthermore, in order to reduce the credit and liquidity risks, the Company makes a majority of its investments in listed securities.

7.3 Risks Related to the Listing of the Shares

Nonexistence of prior market for the Shares: Prior to the listing there has been no public market for the Company’s Shares. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or if developed, will be sustained, or that the market price of the Shares shall not decline below the Reference Price. The Reference Price may not be indicative of the market price for the Company’s Shares after completion of the listing. Price volatility in the secondary market: The price of the Shares may fluctuate due to and not limited to the following: variations in operating results, changes in operating environment, transitions in the regulatory front, strategic alliances or acquisitions, industrial or environmental laws, fluctuations in the market prices for products or raw materials, macroeconomic factors and external events. Price of Shares may follow general investor sentiment prevalent in the market at a given time. In addition, the price of the Shares in the market will fluctuate as a result of share trading volumes.

Renuka Hotels Limited, 328, Galle Road, Colombo 3 21st of September 2017 Dear Sirs,

Independent Share Valuation of Renuka Hotels Ltd

In accordance with your instructions, we present our independent opinion of the fair market value (the “Valuation”), as at 31st August 2017 of Renuka Hotels Ltd, which operates in the hospitality industry in Colombo. This valuation is based on the assumptions provided by the management of the Company (“Management”).

When arriving at the Fair Value of the Equity Shares of Renuka Hotels Limited, we have complied with the applicable regulatory and technical requirements in our capacity as the independent valuer.

Staff engaged in this assignment were members of good standing employed in a professional manner relevant to the valuation assignment undertaken. They also possessed the necessary skill and resources to arrive at a competent independent opinion in determining the reference price.

Further, we confirm that we are not a related party of the Renuka Hotels Limited as defined in the SLAS, nor has a conflict of interest with the company or the group nor significant interest in or financial connection with Renuka Hotels Limited or the group.

We initially presented a valuation report on Renuka Hotels Ltd erroneously dated 15th September 2014 (should read as 15th September 2015) reflecting the position of the Company where the value per share ranged between LKR 85-88. The valuation was amended subsequently after taking into consideration the observations made by the Colombo Stock Exchange to reflect the group position to facilitate the proposed listing through Introduction. The consolidated performance of the group derives a more accurate picture considering the significant impact of the subsidiary which resulted in an amended value ranging from LKR 89.77-151.24. The Increase in value from 2015 to 2017 is due to the use of consolidated results of the group and the respective enhanced performance over the past 2 years.

We draw your attention to important comments regarding the scope and process of our work, set out immediately following this letter.

If you require any clarification or further information, please do not hesitate to contact the under signed on +94 11 5 736 844.

Yours faithfully,

SCOPE AND PROCESS

Scope of work Wijeyeratne & Company has been engaged by the management of Renuka Hotels Limited (“Management”) to provide an independent assessment of the fair market value of Renuka Hotels Limited as at 31 August 2017 (“Valuation Date”).

Valuation is not a precise science and the conclusions arrived at in many cases will be subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgment. Given the same set of facts and using the same assumptions, expert opinions may differ due to the number of separate judgment decisions which have to be made. There is, therefore, no indisputable single value and we normally express our opinion as falling within a likely range.

We define fair market value as the price which might reasonably be expected to be obtained in money or money’s worth, in a sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, each of whom is deemed to be acting for self-interest and gain and both of whom are equally well informed about the business and the markets in which it operates.

Purpose of valuation Our work was carried out in connection with the proposed listing through Introduction on the Colombo Stock Exchange.

We also do not envisage our valuation report(s) to be used by the Company for any other financial reporting purposes.

Basis of valuation

Sources of information

In providing our fair market value opinion, we have adopted the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) methodology, Net Assets Value Methodology and Earnings Capitalisation Methodology described in detail later in this report. Implicit in the use of these methodologies is the assumption that the business is a going concern.

During the course of our work, we have relied on data and information made available to us through different sources, including prospective financial information (“PFI”) obtained from the Company, sector specific information obtained from the public domain, and financial and industry sources.

The principal sources of information provided to us by Management included:

• Consolidated audited financial statements of Renuka Hotels Limited from FY 14/15 to FY 16/17.**

• Consolidated interim financial statements of Renuka Hotels Limited for the period ended 31st August 2017.**

• Management projections for the succeeding financial years from FY 17/18 to FY 21/22 (the “projection period”).

• Other Information Provided by the management on the company overview, average daily rates, capacity, occupancy, projected expansion plans and capital structure.**

(** We have not independently verified the factual accuracy of these information presented, and have relied upon the members of management to

91

Page 97: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

provide us with representation that the information contained is materially accurate and complete, fair in the manner of its portrayal and therefore forms a reliable basis for the share valuation.)

Procedures performed

Other sources of Information are as follows:

• Colombo Stock Exchange - www.cse.lk

• Central Bank Of Sri Lanka- www.cbsl.lk

• Industry specific information and research on sector performance and expectations published by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA)

Based on the information set out in the preceding paragraphs, we undertook an analysis of the financial projections including revenues, expenses, working capital and capital expenditure.

We discussed the basis of the financial projections and assumptions used with the members of Management. We independently verified the reasonableness of such assumptions by analysing the historical operating results, Industry trends (Source-SLTDA) and publically available information of similar listed entities (Source- CSE).

We also undertook an analysis of other facts and data, including those specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates, which we considered pertinent to this valuation, to arrive at the fair market value.

Limiting conditions

This report has been prepared by Wijeyeratne & Company solely for the purpose of Listing at the Colombo Stock Exchange. We do not accept or assume any liability or duty of care for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent. In no event, regardless of whether consent has been provided, shall we assume any responsibility to any third party to which the report is disclosed or otherwise made available.

Wijeyeratne & Company expressly disclaims all liability for any loss or damage of whatsoever kind which may arise from any person acting on any information and opinions relating to Renuka Hotels Ltd contained in this report.

Our work has not included any legal review and accordingly have not considered impact or outcome of any existing or potential legal matters.

Our Services are provided as at the date of this report. Economic conditions and market factors may result in the information contained in the document becoming quickly outdated and may require updating from time to time or before any major decisions are taken based on our Report. Hence, the validity period of the report is 7 Months. In any event, if you intend to make any decision based on our Services more than 7 months from the date of the Report you must request our confirmation as to the efficacy of our Services. The valuation conclusions arrived at in many cases are by their very nature subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgement. Given the same set of facts and using the same assumptions, expert opinions may differ due to the number of separate judgement decisions which have to be made.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The report sets out the indicative value assessment of Renuka Hotels Limited. The assessment of value has been carried out as at 31 August 2017 for the purpose of facilitating the Listing on the Colombo Stock Exchange (“CSE”) by way of an ‘Introduction’. The proposed listing at the CSE consists of 40,297,530 Voting Shares, and the three methodologies used for the valuation depict the fair value per share as follows: Valuation Summary

Methodology Fair Value Per Share (LKR) Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF) 151.24 Net Assets Value Method 142.20 Earnings Capitalisation Method 89.77

Based on the analysis, a value which is within the likely range of LKR. 151.24 to 89.77 per share can be justified. Hence, the reference price of LKR 139.00 per share can be considered fair and reasonable. Valuation Methodologies Discounted Cash Flow Method; For revenue projections, we have reviewed forecasts prepared by management, and where applicable made adjustments based on market prospects and competition in the industry. Therefore, the value derived from the Discounted Cash Flow method is greatly dependent on the achievement of such revenue projections vis-à-vis the growth projections for the local tourism industry. We note that the management will need to manage future costs and position the property within target markets in order to secure suitable room rates and revenue in order to maintain desired GOP margin levels. The value conclusion has taken into consideration:

We have assumed constant room inventory in the forecast period,

The Company’s ability to leverage on “Renuka” brand to promote the property, especially amongst its South Asian and East Asian clientele and hence maintain a relatively higher price point relative to some local peers in the vicinity;

Impact from competition and newer hotel properties as well as informal accommodation (i.e. –

Airbnb) within the region, which have had and are likely to continue to negatively impact occupancies of larger properties.

A Cost of Equity at 15.7% and assumed a terminal growth of 4% per annum.

Net Assets Value Method; No adjustments have been considered on the statement of financial position of the company and the group provided as at 31 August 2017 and assumed that all assets and liabilities are stated at fair values. A realization cost of 10% was assumed for valuation purposes. Earnings Capitalisation Method; Value per share is derived by considering the weighted average maintainable earnings based on historic performance capitalized at the rate of expected return. A capitalization rate of 15.7% is employed.

COMPANY PROFILE

General

Renuka Hotels Limited (“the Company”) operates a three star category hotel registered with the Sri Lanka Tourist Development Board.

Nestled in the heart of the commercial district, where the splendor of modern living meets the needs of every discerning traveler is one of the most unique hotels in Colombo city. Lying within a mere 45 minutes from the Bandaranaike International Airport, the Hotel Renuka stands majestically above the hustle and bustle of the city. Every guest can find an abundance of business hubs, healthcare centres, restaurants and entertainment venues within an easy and convenient distance from the hotel.

Renuka Hotels Group consists of 99 rooms and 3 restaurants and primarily caters to business and transit travelers mostly from South Asia and East Asia. The property also includes other facilities such as a banquet hall, conference rooms, pool and fitness center.

Group Structure

Renuka Hotels Limited is the ultimate parent of Renuka City Hotels PLC with a controlling interest of 62.22%.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Sri Lanka is a growing market with great potential as a tourism destination. Many of the challenges posed by the three-decade civil war which ended in 2009 are subsiding, as strong government support for the industry is providing necessary improvements to infrastructure and industry standards, and increasing awareness of what the country has to offer through marketing campaigns. Overall, the industry is fast growing and promising. The tourism industry is beginning to attract more foreign investment, which should increase competition in the market and pressure the large domestic conglomerates that currently operate much of the tourism industry to become more competitive.

QUALITATIVE FACTORS

Industry Outlook

For the first time in the history, Tourist arrivals reached to new milestone of 2 million arrivals in 2016 registering 14% increase compared to 2015. Total number of nights spent by a tourist who visited the country during the year could be taken as a better and stable measure of tourism volume. Reported number of tourist nights in 2016 increased by 15 % with an average duration of 10.2 nights. (Source- SLTDA)

(Source: BMI Forecast for tourist arrival)

Visitors from Asia continued to be the main source of Tourism to Sri Lanka in the year 2016 accounting for 45% of the total share. Similarly, the number of arrivals from Western Europe continued to be the second source of tourism with a share of 31%. (Source- SLTDA)

The overall annual room occupancy rate of tourist hotels increased to 75% in 2016 from 74.5% per cent in the preceding year. Colombo city recorded an increase of 0.35 percentage compared to the previous year. (Source- SLTDA)

(Source- SLTDA Occupancy in Colombo)

Tourism arrival from all regions increased amongst which Western Europe remains the largest region of tourist origin for Sri Lanka representing 31.4%, with the number of tourists increasing by 16.5%. Tourist earning increased due to higher spending and increased duration of stay. Earnings during 2016 amounted to USD3.5Bn during 2016. (Source- SLTDA)

The trends and forecasts suggest prospects of growth in the Hospitality Industry. Further, various projects initiated by the government including the Port–City Project and anticipated depreciation of LKR against major currencies will also have a positive impact on the Hospitality Industry.

FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

The key management assumptions that have underpinned the forecasts are as follows.

Revenue

Tariff Adjustments to financial forecasts have been made to reflect expected revenue commensurate with price trends, service offerings and competition. Revenue growth assumptions were considered a major value driver (driving many cost assumptions as well) and thus we have focused on establishing reasonable estimates. Room revenue which accounts for a majority of the company revenue has been estimated based on occupancy rates and Average Daily Rates (ADR per year) provided by management. Renuks Hotels Group consists of 99 Rooms including Deluxe and Super Deluxe Rooms. Despite the high competition within the region and newer hotels which have commenced operations recently, Renuka Hotels Limited has managed to sustain an average occupancy rate over 80% post the major refurbishment done in 2014/2015. This is slightly above the average industry occupancy rate of 75% Hence, we have assumed forecast occupancy to remain at 80% in the forecast period which is in line with average historical occupancy of the Hotel.

ADR has been forecast at a marginal growth rate of 10% per annum during the forecast period, given the historical growth in ADR. Growth in revenue may also be positively impacted by the expected currency depreciation. Increase in ADR appears to coincide with the growth rate in ADR for other competitive hotels. Revenue forecasts have been assumed exclusive of taxes (NBT, VAT, TDL and service charge) which will all be pass-through costs to the customer.

97

Page 103: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

Food and Beverages/other operating income Revenue from F&B and other revenue were forecasted at 35% and 25% of revenue respectively, in line with historical performance.

Direct Costs (Cost of Sales)

Calculated as 25% of revenue for expenses associated with Rooms, F&B and other revenue in line with historical costs recorded.

Sales and marketing expenses

Forecast at 5 % of revenue which is in relation to the historical trends.

Administration expenses and Other Expenses

Projected to grow adjacent to the forecast national inflationary rate of 5%.

Income Tax Expenses

The Company is liable for corporate tax at the rate of 12% up to the FY 2017/2018, however the corporate tax rates will be increased to 14% per the New Inland Revenue Department Bill which will be effective from the 01st of April 2018. Hence, an income tax rate of 14% has been considered for the Projection Period from FY2018/2019 to 2021/2022. Dividend Income is considered tax exempt.

Other Income Other non-operating income including Dividend and Interest Income are assumed to be constant over the projection period based on prior financial years.

Increase/(Decrease) in working capital

Working capital has also been assumed in line with the Company’s historical working capital requirement. Working capital No.of Days Inventories 17 Trade debtors 26 Trade creditors 125

Capital Expenditure Budget

The Hotel has undergone a major refurbishment project during the Financial year 2014/2015 and the management has no plans of further expansion or significant refurbishment during the projection period. Hence, we have considered 1% of revenue for replacement of furniture, fittings and equipment based on past trends in capex. Deprecation has been assumed in line with the Company’s standard depreciation policies.

(Refer Appendix 1.1and 1.2 for detailed calculation of cash flow projection)

VALUATION

Basis of value assessment and key considerations

Basis of valuation

• Our indicative assessments of the valuation of shares of Renuka Hotels Limited, is based on the future profitability and cash flows generated from the use of assets held by the above mentioned business.

• For the purpose of this report Fair Market Value is defined as the price that would be negotiated at the Valuation Date in an open and unrestricted market between a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious buyer and a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious seller acting at arm’s length.

• For the purpose of our valuation, we have adopted the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach as our primary valuation methodology. The principal elements of a DCF approach are estimating the likely cash flows that will be generated by the continuing operations of the business and applying a discount rate to the cash flows that is commensurate with risks attaching to such cash flows

• Also, Net Assets Value per share attributable Equity Holders was calculated as at 31 August 2017 which generally depicts a conservative value of shares. The valuation is derived by taking the value of net assets (i.e Invested equity capital + Reserves) adjusted for cost of realization.

• Further, Earnings capitalization method was utilized to derive at the value per share based on maintainable profits based on historical performance of the company which is capitalized at rate equivalent to the expected rate of return.

Key Considerations

• To facilitate the preparation of this analysis, the management of Renuka Hotels Limited has provided us with information on the company including the consolidated audited financial statements for FY14/15. FY15/16, FY16/17and consolidated Interim Financial Statements as at 31 August 2017.

• As at 31 August 2017, we have reviewed the Company operations and projected the financial performances over the forthcoming 5 years until FY21/22.

• For our analysis, we have assumed that the Company will continue current operations on substantially an ‘as-is’ basis. We have also determined a terminal value based on the continuing operations of the Company following the end of the projection period.

100

Page 106: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

15 | P a g e

• In considering the value on an ‘as-is’ basis, we have only considered the likely future returns from company under its incumbent management, existing and available operating scale, branding and facilities, and considering the present capital structure. We have not investigated or considered the impact of any change to any of these factors, either individually or collectively, which may have a material impact on the overall conclusions arrived at in our report.

• The estimates of future performance have been primarily based on its normal course of operations. We have not undertaken any revaluation of property, plant or equipment of the company and where necessary, book values or other relevant information provided by the Company have been employed.

Assumptions

• For the purpose of our projections, we have considered an accounting period reflective of the respective company’s financial reporting period. Thus the forecast captures a 12 month period commencing from April to March.

• The projected growth in income and the supporting operating costs for the Company has been based on management view of future financial outlook.

• In estimating the discount rate for the DCF approach, we have used industry data on other related companies whose operations and geographical locations are broadly comparable to the respective companies.

Cost of Capital

• When applying the Income Approach, the cash flows expected to be generated by a business are discounted to their present value equivalent using a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the investment, as well as the time value of money. This return is an overall rate based upon the individual rates of return for Invested Capital/Enterprise Value (equity and interest-bearing debt). This return, known as the weighted average cost of capital (also known as the rate of return on Invested Capital/Enterprise Value) WACC, is calculated by weighting the required returns on interest bearing debt and common equity capital in proportion to their estimated percentages in an expected capital structure.

• Renuka Hotels Limited is a fully equity financed Company, hence the WACC will be equivalent to the Cost of Equity.

Cost of equity

• We used the International Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) to determine the required return on equity.

• CAPM has been empirically tested and is widely accepted for the purpose of estimating a company’s required return on equity capital. In applying the international variant of CAPM, the rate of return on common equity is estimated as the current risk-free rate of return uplifted for country risk, plus a market risk premium expected over the risk-free rate of return, multiplied by the “beta” for the stock. Beta is defined as a risk measure that reflects the sensitivity of a company’s stock price to the movements of the stock market as a whole.

• The CAPM rate of return on equity capital is calculated using the formula:

Ke=((1+Rf ) x (1+CRP)-1) + (β x (Rm - Rf))

101

Page 107: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

where:

Ke=Rate of return on equity capital

Rf=Risk-free rate of return

CRP=Country risk premium (used where Rf is not inclusive of such premium)

β=Beta or systematic risk for this type of equity investment

Rm - Rf =Market risk premium; The expected return on a broad portfolio of stocks in the market (Rm) less the risk free rate (Rf)

Beta

• Beta is a statistical measure of the volatility of the price of a specific stock relative to the movement of a general group. Generally, beta is considered to be indicative of the market’s perception of the relative risk of the specific stock. For unlisted firms, practical application of the CAPM is dependent upon the ability to identify publicly traded companies that have similar risk characteristics to the subject company, in order to derive meaningful measures of the subject company beta.

• Betas reported in public sources are “leveraged”, which incorporates the added risk to a stockholder due to the debt financing of the company. To derive a beta applicable to the subject company based on our guideline companies, the reported leveraged betas must first be unlevered and then re-levered at assumed target debt levels appropriate for the Company. In the case of Renuka Hotels Ltd, re-levering of beta is not required as the company is fully equity financed.

• This beta calculation has been based on the betas for comparable companies with similar businesses as at 31 August 2017 which derived an equity beta of 0.80.

(Refer Appendix 1.3 for the calculation of Equity Beta)

Equity market risk premium

• Practical application also relies on an estimate of the Market Risk Premium. Since the expectations of the average investor are not directly observable, the Market Risk Premium must be inferred using one of several methods. One approach is to use premiums that investors have historically earned over and above the returns on long-term bonds. The premium obtained using the historical approach is sensitive to the time period over which one calculates the average.

The Country Risk Premium of 6.4% is used in this regard which is obtained from a publication of NYU Stern.

(Refer - appendix 1.4)

Risk free rate

• The risk-free rate of 10.6% was taken as the yield to maturity on the LKR ten year bonds as at August 2017 which was obtained from the website of Central Bank of Sri Lanka.

102

Page 108: INTRODUCTORY DOCUMENT - CSE

17 | P a g e

Gearing

• Gearing is defined as the debt capital as a percentage of the sum of the debt, preferred and common equity capital (“Total Invested Capital”).

• Presently the Capital Structure of the company consists only of Equity capital and the management intends to maintain the prevailing capital structure in the long-run.

Terminal value

• The terminal value represents the present value of all future cash flows projected to be generated by the Company beyond the last year of the explicit projection period into perpetuity. A terminal growth rate of 4% has been used for the entity based on long term economic growth outlook, consumer spending and competitive nature of business.

• We have used the following cash flow into perpetuity formula to calculate the terminal value:

Terminal Value = (Projected Maintainable Cash Flows) x (1+g)

(WACC-g)

Where:

WACC = weighted average cost of capital

g = expected growth rate into perpetuity

Conclusion

• Combining the above assumptions produces a base case WACC or Cost of Equity of 15.7% for the Company and terminal value of LKR 7,425,192,784.
