CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW
This last year has been an outstanding one for our company. Throughout the year, the
company has decisively established itself as the leading software developer in the health
care sector and has embarked on its journey towards making “ECL” a global brand.
ECL succeeded in achieving two very important milestones this year with its global opera-
tions. Primarily, launching in the Maldives with our partner, Wattaniya Telecom, and sec-
ondly, entering into a marketing agreement with IFS, a leading global software develop-
ment company to internationally market the hospital management system of ECL under
the brand name “IFS HospitalNet”.
The avant-garde doctor channeling system, for which ECL is most popularly known, has
been a very successful product and has shown impressive growth year on year. Last year,
the total numbers of bookings have increased to 507,039, proving an increase of 31%, as
compared to the previous year. The overall revenue of the company, last year, has grown to LKR 61.5 Million, and the Profi t post
Tax has increased to LKR8.33 Million, corroborating an impressive 344% growth. The company is aggressively promoting its
channeling solution out of Colombo, where the company believes, there lays an enormous potential for the product. Patients
in these remote areas fi nd it problematic and tiresome to obtain access to quality healthcare. Our company is assisting such
patients by presenting a simple and straightforward solution to this setback. The company has additionally opted to provide
free channeling solutions to hospitals that presently provide free healthcare, and considers this as an important component
of its Corporate Social Responsibility. The two key shareholders, the Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation and British American
Technologies wholly support the company’s efforts to undertake such vital and necessary projects.
The healthcare sector in Sri Lanka is growing rapidly. With most of the private healthcare institutions expanding, ECL has al-
ready positioned itself to assist with the prompt growth, both as a facilitating portal and a software developer.
The eChannelling portal has been operative for over 10 years. The company has re-launched its updated web portal, along with
many new fascinating value additions, and would continue to attach interesting value added services which would enhance the
product and the company valuation considerably.
eChannelling is at present one of the top 100 brands in Sri Lanka. In the years ahead, the company is determined to make
eChannelling an internationally recognized brand.
The company formed its fi rst subsidiary, ECL Soft (Private) Limited (ECLS) in April this year (2011). It aims to structure all its
non-healthcare sector ventures under ECLS and would require capitalization of approximately LKR 1 Billion. ECL is contributing
LKR 150 Million in the next few months.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the stakeholders of the company, who have been through very diffi cult times
along with us in the past. This company is an example of where the public and private sectors can work effectively hand in hand,
with Sri Lanka Insurance and British American Technologies steering ECL to being one of the most dynamic listed companies
in the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).
The Board of Directors of ECL are committed to strengthening shareholder value. This has resulted in improved profi tability
refl ected by its share price that has increased almost 500% in the last 12-15 months. The continued value additions and strong
growth would ensure that the company continues to reward its stakeholders and strive to be the best in its class among the
technology companies in Sri Lanka.

CEO’S REVIEW
It is a great pleasure to announce to you that this year we have seen the most progressive
year in the history of eChannelling. All Key Peformance Indicators (KPIs) have revealed
remarkable growth fi gures for the year. While currently dominating the western province
market, the continuous drive to be present in other major provinces has been achieved by
expanding services to the southern, central and north central provinces.
Our revenue has shown an increase of 22 % in the last year. Costs in internal operations
have marginally reduced in comparison to the preceding year. As a result, the company
has seen a rise in profi t after tax of 344%. Our cost effective marketing campaigns con-
tinues to be particularly successful in increasing awareness of our product and in growing
market share.
While succeeding in our existing product market, we have developed new and exciting
products for the pharmacy network, medical laboratories and clinics along with the small
and medium sized hospitals. These software solutions have been introduced to the customer groups and implemented suc-
cessfully.
We have expanded our hospital partner network by 53%, which has helped to facilitate an increase in our total bookings by 31%.
The continuous drive in growing our pharmacy network has supported the customers to use our services with ease. The excel-
lent working relationship developed with the private sector hospitals and the health authorities has given us the opportunity
of signing up our fi rst semi-government hospital into providing
our software solutions.
In the immediate future, our focus is on developing new prod-
ucts providing innovative value added services to our hospital
partner network and the medical profession. These pioneering
services will allow us the prospect of generating additional rev-
enue for the company.
We will leverage our experience in implementing and manag-
ing medical software solutions to other countries in the South
Asian Region. The newly re-launched products of echannel-
ling is being introduced to the Maldives; our fi rst international
partner country to implement the service. We are, at present, in
the process of negotiating with three other regional countries
as well. My sincere appreciation goes out to the Chairman and the board of directors who were instrumental in supporting the
entire team in accomplishing its goals and creating a profi table year. I would like to thank the team for their tireless effort and
dedication given throughout the year to turn around and build up the company.
Last but not least, I thank all of our shareholders for the confi dence and trust that you have placed in our team.
”Our team is enormously excited by the potential of our Company”

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below are consistent with those used in the previous year.
The Directors have made an assessment of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, and they do not intend to liquidate or to cease operations.
3.1 Assets and Basis of their ValuationAssets classifi ed as current assets on the balance sheet are cash and bank balances and those which are expected to be realized in cash during the normal operating cycle or within one year from the reporting date, whichever is shorter.
3.1.1 Property, Plant and Equipment
3.1.1.1 Recognition and MeasurementItems of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
3.1.1.2 Owned assets The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as a part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment (major components).
3.1.1.3 Leased AssetsLeases, in terms of which the company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the asset is accounted for, in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
3.1.1.4 Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefi ts embodied within the part will fl ow to the company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognized in accordance with the de-recognition policy given below.
The cost of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant & equipment are recognized in the income statement as incurred.
3.1.1.5 De-recognitionThe carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefi ts are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on de-recognition are recognized in the income statement and gains are not classifi ed as revenue.
1919
Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd)
3.1.1.6 Depreciation Depreciation is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Assets held under fi nance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful life unless it is reasonably certain that the company will have ownership by the end of the lease term.The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows. Computer Equipment 2 years Computer Servers 5 years Furniture & Fittings 4 years Offi ce Equipment 2 years Motor Vehicles 3 years Leased Assets 2 years
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classifi ed as held for sale or the date that the asset is de-recognized.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.
3.2 Intangible AssetsAn intangible asset is recognized if it is probable that future economic benefi ts that are attributable to the asset will fl ow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Accordingly, these assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
3.2.1 Research and DevelopmentExpenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientifi c or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in the income statement when incurred.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if,
1. The development costs can be measured reliably. 2. The product or process is technically and commercially feasible. 3. Future economic benefi ts are probable. 4. The company intends to and has suffi cient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognized in the income statement as incurred.
Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss.
3.2.2 License FeesLicenses acquired by the company are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss.
3.2.3 Subsequent ExpenditureSubsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefi ts embodied in the specifi c asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in the income statement when incurred.
20
3.2.4 AmortizationAmortization is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows.
License Fee 03 years “Hospital Net” Software 10 years
3.3 Investments
3.3.1 Investment Securities
Investment securities are acquired and held for capital gain and yield in the medium / long term. Such securities are recorded at cost. Changes in market value of these securities are not taken into account unless considered to be a permanent diminution in value.
3.3.2 Short term investments These are marketable securities acquired and held with the intention of resale over a short period of time. Such securities are recorded at market value, adjustments for changes in market values are accounted for in the income statement.
Treasury bills and fi xed deposits are measured and recorded at cost.
3.3.3 Trade and Other ReceivablesTrade and other receivables are stated at their estimated realizable amount.
3.3.4 Cash & Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and cash deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash fl ow statement. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are included under current liabilities.
The cash fl ow statement is prepared under the “indirect” method as per Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 09 - Cash Flow Statements. Interest paid is classifi ed as an operating cash fl ow. Interest income is classifi ed as cash fl ows from investing activities.
3.3.5 ImpairmentThe carrying amount of the company’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use or its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

3.4 Stated CapitalOrdinary shares and share premiums are classifi ed as stated capital.
3.5 Liabilities and ProvisionsLiabilities classifi ed as current liabilities on the balance sheet are those which fall due for payment on demand or within one year from the reporting date. non-current liabilities are those balances that fall due for payment later than one year from the reporting date.
All known liabilities have been accounted for in preparing the fi nancial statements.
3.5.1 Employee Benefi ts
3.5.1.1 Defi ned Benefi t PlansA defi ned benefi t plan is a post-employment benefi t plan other than a defi ned contribution plan. The defi ned benefi t is calculated using a gratuity formula method as allowed by Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 16 (Revised 2006) - Employee Benefi ts.
Provision has been made for retirement gratuities from the fi rst year of service for all employees, in conformity with SLAS 16(Revised 2006) on employee benefi ts. However, under the Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983, the liability to an employee arises only on completion of 5 years of continued service.
The liability is not externally funded nor actuarially valued.
3.5.1.2 Defi ned Contribution PlansA defi ned contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which an entity pays fi xed contributions into a separate entity and will have no further legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to Provident and Trust Funds covering all employees are recognized as an expense in the income statement when incurred.
The company contributes 15% and 3% of gross emoluments to employees as Provident Fund and Trust Fund contribution respectively.
3.5.1.3 Short-term benefi tsShort-term employees benefi t obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
3.5.2 ProvisionsA provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outfl ow of economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation.
3.5.3 Trade and other Payables
Trade and other payables are stated at their cost.
3.6 Income StatementFor the purpose of presentation of the income statement, the function of expenses method is adopted, as it represents fairly the elements of company performance.

3.6.1 Revenue
Revenue is recognized when, 1. The signifi cant risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. 2. Recovery of the consideration is probable. 3. The associated costs can be reliably estimated. 4. The amount of revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of trade discounts or sales taxes.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Gains and losses on the disposal of investments held by the Company are recognized in the income statement.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant & equipment are determined by comparing the net sales proceeds with the carrying amounts of property, plant & equipment and are recognized net within “other income” in the income statement.
3.6.2 ExpensesAll expenditure incurred in the running of the business is charged to income in arriving at the profi t for the year.
Repairs and renewals are charged to the income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
3.6.2.1 Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, in which case they are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.
3.6.2.2 Finance income and expenses

Notes to the Financial Statements (Contd)
2323
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for fi nancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefi t will be realized.
3.7 General
3.7.1 Events occurring after the Balance Sheet dateAll material post balance sheet events have been considered and where appropriate adjustments or disclosures have been made in the respective notes to the fi nancial statements.
3.7.2 Earnings Per ShareThe company presents basic earnings per share (EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profi t or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
3.8 Capital Commitments and ContingenciesCapital commitments and contingent liabilities of the company are disclosed in the respective notes to the fi nancial statements.
3.9 Segment ReportingA segment is a distinguishable component of the company that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment costs and expenses and consequently segment profi ts and losses, since a realistic allocation cannot be made. The fi xed assets used in the company’s business are not identifi able to any particular reportable segment and can be used interchangeably among segments. Consequently management believes that it is not practical to provide segmental disclosures relating to total assets, since a realistic analysis among the various operating segments is not possible.
4. EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE:
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) has issued a new volume of Sri Lanka Accounting Standards – 2011, applicable for fi nancial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012.
