Summarised Financial Report

for the six months ended

30th September 2022

SELINSING PLC

Review of operations for the period ended 30th September 2022

The minority equity investments the Company holds in Shalimar Developments Sdn. Bhd. (SDSB) and in Shalimar (Malay) PLC (SMPLC) is the main business of the Company. SDSB's investee company carries out palm oil plantation operations in Indonesia.

The investee company continues to take measures to ensure that its business operations are carried out efficiently amidst several market and economic challenges. The Crude Palm Oil (CPO) prices which saw an upward trend in the fourth quarter of the previous financial year, experienced a significant and sudden reversal in prices during the latter part of the first half under review. This was due to multiple reasons, including a global price correction of commodities, fears of a global recession, the duty on CPO sales introduced by the Indonesian government and higher build-up of stocks in the Indonesian domestic market. In the backdrop of these challenges, the investee Company is focused in managing its resources to ensure that it is able to preserve the long term value of the investment to its stakeholders.

The only source of income for the period is the interest income earned from the Company's short-term deposits in Sri Lanka. Accordingly, the Company recorded an after tax profit of Rs. 3.78 Mn from its operations during the period under review; compared to a profit of Rs. 26.10 Mn recorded in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.

Minimum Public Holding

As previously informed, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum public holding requirements in relation to a Company Listed on the Main Board of the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) as per Rule 7.14.1 (a) of the Listing Rules of CSE, due to which the Company was transferred to the 'Watch List' of the CSE in terms of Rule 7.14.2 (b) of the previous Listing Rules of the CSE with effect from 2nd July 2018.

However, the CSE via their Circular No. 03/2019 dated 3rd October 2019 amended the Listing Rules on enforcement actions applicable for non-compliance with minimum public holding requirements with effect from 12th September 2019. Accordingly, in terms of Rule 7.14.2 of the Listing Rules of the CSE, the company was transferred to the Second Board with effect from 15th November 2019.

We wish to highlight that the objective of the voluntary offer made to all shareholders on 17th March 2011 was to acquire the entire minority shareholding as a step towards the consolidation of the oil palm plantation business. The offer documents also mentioned that upon completion of the voluntary offer, the rationale for remaining listed will be evaluated. Since the voluntary offer did not result in the acquisition of the entire minority shareholding, the Company continued to remain listed.

Taking into consideration that a voluntary offer had been made and also considering that there is no requirement for additional capital infusion to the Company and resultantly, there being no plans for issuing of new shares nor a dilution by the majority shareholder and as previously communicated to shareholders through market disclosures and Annual Reports and in terms of the revised Listing Rules, we will report the proposed course of action.
