The year under review saw monumental changes taking place in the political landscape of the country with the election of a new executive president and the installation of a new govern- ment which brought about many changes in the fiscal policy of the country. Due to the increase in duties on vehicle imports and the introduction of the 70% ceiling in the loan to value ratio most companies in the NBFI sector have gradually migrated towards products such as mortgage loans, business loans and other types of financial products and services. Despite the many challenges faced during the past year I am happy to announce that the Profit Before Tax of the Company increased from Rs. 277 million the previous year to Rs. 553 million which is a significant growth of almost 100% whist the Profit After Tax more than doubled from Rs. 203 million to Rs. 415 million. The total disburse- ments increased by 56% from Rs. 10.4 billion in 2014/15 to Rs. 16.3 billion. The exceptional performance of the Company is as a result of significant improvements and restructuring of our marketing operations creating a more market oriented culture in the Company focused on superior service delivery of our product offering. Our micro finance SBU set up in 2013 in line with our sustainability initiatives performed modestly with a growth rate of 29% posting a profit of Rs. 3.24 billion up from Rs. 2.5 billion the previous year. In recognition of his contribution to the marketing activities of the core business lines and growing the portfolio with better credit quality whilst improving the operational processes for efficient delivery of the product offerings, Dr. Ajith Medis was invited to join the board in August 2016. Dr. Medis holds a doctorate in strategy, MBA, BCom (special), a Diploma in Marketing (CIM UK) and he is also a certified manage- ment accountant. We are confident that his guidance would help the Company achieve excellence in all spheres of its marketing activities. Performance of our subsidiary companies Alfinco Insurance Brokers (Pvt) Ltd., The Company which acts as the agent and broker for the insurance business of AFC customers recorded another year of steady performance posting a profit of Rs. 16.7 million on a revenue of Rs. 31.9 million. The subsidiary played an active role in acquiring additional business from our customers in addition to the motor business. Looking ahead we believe that this approach would help to increase revenue from their portfolio. Macbertan (Pvt) Ltd., Our associate company Macbertan (Pvt) Ltd., performed very well during the year posting a profit of Rs. 36 million up from Rs. 30 million the previous year. Macbertan formed a joint venture company with Pidlite International Plc of India recognized as one of the largest manufacturers of adhesives in Asia. Under this newly formed company a new manufacturing plant will be set up in the country offering a wider selection of complimentary products to the hardware sector utilizing our extensive dealer network. The success of the company is attributed to the excellent product mix of the company which also includes roofing products manufactured by a new production plant and we are optimistic that the profits of the compa- ny will continue to grow in the coming years as well. It also gives me great pride to inform you that AFC reached an important milestone by obtaining two lines of foreign funding, one from the Commer- cial Bank PLC Bangladesh and the other from Triodos Bank of the Netherlands. The Triodos bank which was voted as the world’s most sustainable bank invests globally in companies that achieve a best-in-class combination of social, environmental and economic performance. The fact that AFC was able to meet such exacting standards in its sustainability initiative speaks volumes of the international standards that we at AFC have achieved in terms of our social, environmental and governance aspects. Both facilities were obtained under the relaxed exchange control program offered through the external borrowing scheme introduced by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. As one of the pioneering financial institutions in Sri Lanka to embrace the Triple Bottom Line philosophy the Company strives to make a positive impact on the environment and society at large. A few noteworthy initiatives carried during the year include a research on reducing emissions from three wheelers in partnership with Vialle of the Netherlands, a leading LPG gas technology specialist in Europe. AFC was also involved in the one million trees project organized by the Rotary Club of Sri Lanka and through this project we hope to fulfil our pledge for the “Tree for a Lease” initiative of the Company. The Company was successful in planting 14,000 trees in relation to the 13,550 leases given out during the period. In response to the Earth Hour initiative, in cooperation with the Colombo municipal Council the Compa- ny engaged in an awareness walk and donated 500 LED bulbs for the illumina- tion of the ViharaMaha Devi Park. Under the “AFC Green Pledge” the Company also took steps to reduce the energy consumption by 5% by the end of the 2016/17 financial year. Further, in keeping with our sustainabili- ty initiatives our Micro Finance SBU extended its services to the less privileged segment in our society through the Entrepreneur Development Services program, providing them the much needed funds and technical know-how helping them take their businesses to greater heights and improving their livelihoods. Finally as yet another successful year draws to a close I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to our independent Non-Executive Chairman and the board of directors of the Company for their astute guidance, all our service provid- ers for their unstinted support, our most important resource; our staff for their dedicated and untiring service and you our customer without whom we would not have existed for 60 long and successful years. As we look forward to another challeng- ing year ahead I am confident that we at AFC will continue is its quest to offer you superior financial services whilst balancing its position as one of Sri Lanka’s most respected and sustainable NBFIs. Romani de Silva Deputy Chairman / Managing Director Happy reading! Yours sincerely RATING REAFFIRMED Fitch Ratings Lanka has assigned Alliance Finance a National Long-Term Rating of 'BB+(lka)' with a Stable Outlook.

Meanwhile, Akalanka Peiris was crowned the most outstanding swimmers of the All Island National Swimming Championship which was held at the Sugathadasa Stadium recently. Representing St Peter’s swimmers who created history by emerging overall champions in the tournament, Akalanka was also part of the team that bagged the first major title for the first time in the history of the school since they took to the sport

in the year 1991.Akalanka has been one of their top notch swimmers in the Under 15 category having bagged many titles and also the best swimmers awards in various other swimming meets.The talent-ed swimmer has the potential to become a top class swimmer in the future and has also secured top spots at the annual Public Schools Swimming Meet this year.

A STRATEGIC CREDIT LINE TO ALLIANCE FINANCE

Global pioneer of sustainable banking Triodos Microfinance Fund and Triodos Fair Share Fund have recently provided a joint credit line to Alliance Finance Company PLC (CSE: ALLI) in order to further strengthen its contribution to a broader impact through SME financing and microfinance in Sri Lanka.

Triodos Bank, a development finance institution in Europe rather than extend-ing a regular funding line has recognised the core values of Alliance Finance Company, the common similarities between the two establishments along with the long-term sustainability to provide the credit line. Both companies closely follow the triple bottom-line which has enabled this connection.

“Triodos Bank is one of the world’s leading banks which is in the forefront of developing the “ Global Alliance for Banking on sustainable values (GABV)”, an international network of sustainable banks who seekto integrate a value based mission and strategy. Triodos and Alliance Finance share in common long-term aspirations; we have embod-ied the triple bottom-line concept in our businesses and in our processors during the last couple of years. This year 3% of our profits go back to the communities

we are operating in. All employees have a stake in these projects.

SME and microfinance expansion is the focus right now and we see the need in the country for balancing the develop-ment. As a corporate citizen, we have a responsible role to play especially with a focus extended outside the Western Province.

So, to start with by taking a different turn Alliance Finance Company has come out with a moderate program of providing environmental friendly three-wheelers to those who are below the poverty line. We have pioneered a gas conversion kit for three-wheelers. The conversion will increase the efficiency and bring down the emissions. Last three years we were involved in this project jointly with a Dutch company. An MoU was signed. Dutch Government granted us EUR200,000 for the feasibility study. We need this kind of support for such projects, which are very ambitious, far-flung, and long term. We see possibilities in manufacturing this kit locally to bring down the conversion prices. It will reduce the carbon foot print of Sri Lanka and a big milestone for us.

The management and the members of the AFC staff came forward to help to the our own employees and general public affected by recent flood. The company granted financial assistance to all the affected employees. Further , Managing Director and other senior management team members along with AFC staff members contributed to raise a fund to assist flood relief effort to give helping hand to the

needy people. We distributed Rs. 159,895.50 worth of dry food, Medicine , Hygiene products , cloths and baby products joined hands with “Manusath Derana” flood relief programme. Further , donated Rs. 190,141.16 worth of pair of shoes and stationary items to the students from flood affected families of Gothatuwa Maha Vidya-laya.

AFC CELEBRATES EARTH HOUR AT TOWN HALL

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE A REGULAR INCOME WHILE MULTIPLYING YOUR CAPITALSRI LANKA’S FIRST DUAL RETURN INVESTMENT PLAN FROM GUARDIAN ACUITY AND ALLIANCE FINANCE

“Alpha plus”, Sri Lanka’s first dual return investment plan is available to investors as a result of a partner-ship between Alliance Finance PLC and Guardian Acuity Asset Manage-ment (GAAM), a leading Unit Trust Management Company which is part of Carson Cumberbatch PLC, HNB and DFCC banks.

Alpha Plus is a dual return invest-ment plan, where plan funds are invested in both Fixed Deposits and in Equity, thereby giving you exposure to returns of two asset classes, with a single investment. The recommended mix of invest-ment being 70% in Fixed Deposits and 30% in Equity.

A dual return enables the investor to benefit from both fixed deposits as well as equity funds as the fund invests in both fixed deposits and equity, hence the return to investors will stem from these two sources, making it a dual return investment plan.

When an investor invests money in the Alpha Plus plan, a Fixed Depos-its will be opened with Alliance Finance with a portion of the money and the balance will be allocated towards the “Guardian Acuity Equity Fund”, which will be

managed by a specialized fund manager.

The recommended investment plan is to invest a minimum of Rs 2.5 million for a period of three years, with an investment mix of fixed income of 70% and equity 30 % . However although this is the recom-mended mix, the plan is flexible to suit your individual risk/return profile. Alpha Plus was initiated with the objective to create an opportunity for customers to yield a better return for their investments in the capital market in line with Alliance Finance triple bottom line concept.

The benefits of investing in ‘Alpha Plus’ include a potential higher return, stemming from attractive FD Rates (based on rates offered for AFC deposits) and Equity returns (based on performance of GAAM equity unit trust portfolio), while your investment will be in the hands of skilled professionals who have a long term proven track record to their credit . Investors will also have the opportunity to diversify their investment portfolio, while having a hassle free invest-ment experience with regular updates on returns, as well as a tax efficient investment given that Unit Trust returns are tax free, as well as the opportunity to diversify one’s investment portfolio. The fixed deposit can be used as a source of income with interest withdrawals or

the interest can retained along with the equity investment to add to capital appreciation.

‘Alpha Plus’ is open to both corpo-rates and individuals who seek a long term exposure to the equity markets while at the same time enjoy a guaranteed long term fixed deposit return. While we recom-mend that investors stay invested for the entire period to earn the maximum benefit from the equity investments, investors always have the options for early withdrawals from both the FD and the equity investment in case they have an unforeseen cash requirement. Incorporated in 1956, Alliance Finance is built on the fundamental values of trust and integrity with ashared vision to foster growth. As a long serving provider of trusted financial services in the country, offering optimal investment

solutions to their valued customers has always been a top priority of AFC while the company has focused equally on People, Planet and Profit, committing the company towards the concept of triple bottom line.
