The bourse emerges out of the holiday mood.....
The Colombo bourse soared during the week with the market registering 1.6% WoW growth to close positive, with
majority of the counters edging up. The All Share Index gained 90.6 points WoW to close at 5,607.13 points (1.6%), whilst
the Milanka Price Index rose 75.6 points WoW to close at 5,120.17 points (1.5%). Indices benefited mainly on the back of
the gains made by Ceylon Tobacco Company (2.5% WoW), Sri Lanka Telecom (4.2% WoW), Nestle Lanka (3.4% WoW),
Bukit Darah (2.9% WoW) and Ceylon Guardian Investment Trust (15.0% WoW).
Sri Lankan stocks started the week at a slower pace owing to the holiday atmosphere prevailing in the bourse. However,
amid the thin holiday trades, ASI managed to end in the green territory during all three trading days. A similar positive
momentum was witnessed in most of the world exchanges during the week. European and US shares edged up on
account of fresh hopes that a resolution would be formulated on time to avoid the US Fiscal Cliff. Japans Nikkei index
reached a 21 month high on Friday as the Yen weakened, helping the countrys powerhouse export sector. Japans newly
elected Prime Minister called for an aggressive monetary policy easing, in order to beat the deflation and stimulate the
demand of the country. Japans optimism coupled with hopes that US fiscal Cliff will be resolved rejuvenated the Asian
stocks during the week.
Despite the slow pace, daily turnover levels were primarily led by notable transactions witnessed in large cap counters
such as John Keells Holdings, Browns Investments, Sampath Bank and Commercial Bank of Ceylon. Heavy weight John
Keells holdings led the weeks turnover contributing a circa 61.3% while local and foreign institutions were bagging a
bargain on the counter. During the last day of trading, the market emerged out of the holiday mood demonstrating
healthy turnover and volumes. Off market deals were witnessed on John Keells Holdings, Browns Investments and
Sampath Bank on Friday which boosted the weekly turnover and volumes. Furthermore institutional interest was also
evolved around oil palms during the week where Bukit Darah also emerged in the weekly top turnover calibre, while
making a WoW price gain of 3% to close at LKR690.
Browns Investment emerged as the top volume traded counter mainly due to the Fridays crossing where 19mn shares
were exchanged at a price of LKR5.50. In addition top traded counters in terms of volume were PC House, John Keells
Holdings and Free Lanka Capital Holdings.
The week recorded an average turnover of LKR424.8mn whilst the average volume was 16mn.
The week saw foreign purchases amounting to LKR 811.2mn whilst foreign sales amounted to LKR 69.2mn. The market
capitalisation as at the end of the week stood at LKR 2,153.9bn and the YTD performance is -7.7%.

Disaggregation of ASI performance
The deepening of the downturn in economic activity experienced in most

developed markets in the aftermath of the global financial crisis continued
to dominate the performance of global financial markets during the year. In
the early days of the crisis, investments in the equity markets of emerging
and frontier markets seemed attractive due to the low correlations
exhibited by the stock returns of these stock markets. However by 2012, the
impact of the crisis had begun to affect the real economies of most
developing markets through their trade linkages with the developed market.
This filtered in to the financial markets resulting in a revision of correlations
as markets begun to move in-sync.

The CSE despite being ranked by Bloomberg as the best performing stock
market in 2010 was not immune to these forces which resulted in a
negative 9% YTD return in the All Share price Index (ASI) by December 2012.
The market was also going through a phase of correction as a result of the
index rising to untenable levels in the immediate post war period. Further
the high interest rates environment which prevailed in the economy
towards the latter half of the year induced a greater proportion of retail
investors to choose more stable fixed income investments such as time
deposits and corporate debentures over risky equity investments. This
resulted in the YTD P/E growth was a negative 13% although market
earnings grew by 4% over the same period.

January
Market watchers began the year on an optimistic note and were hopeful of
a turnaround in the markets prospects with the SECs decision to relax
credit rules to the delight of most brokering houses. Despite the estimated
LKR 5bn boost to market liquidity resulting from this decision, the
Colombo bourse displayed lackluster activity throughout the month. The
critical comments made by Standard Chartered Bank with respect to the
Central Banks Roadmap 2012 as being overly optimistic foreshadowed
the macroeconomic weaknesses that were to be witnessed over the
coming months.
February
The Central Banks decision to shift from a fixed exchange rate regime to a
managed exchange rate represented a paradigm shift in the Sri Lankan
economy. The decision which resulted in a sharp depreciation of the LKR
was mirrored in the ASI index movement which fell sharply to approach
the 5,000 level. Contemporaneously the Central Bank took decisive
measures with the twin objectives of lowering private credit growth and
inflation in order to prevent the economy from overheating. This was done
by raising the repo and reverse repo rates to 7.5% and 9% respectively.
The CBSL also capped credit growth at 18% based on the banks
outstanding loan book at the end of 2011. This had implications for
borrowing costs which begun to trend upwards which severely affected
the earnings performance of listed firms towards the latter half of the
year.
March
The dull sentiment permeating amongst equity investors did not however
dampen the interest witnessed in Access Engineering; which debuted on
the CSE on the 27 of March. The credible performance of the stock in the
opening week of the IPO propelled the counter to become the most
valuable stock in the Construction and Engineering sector. The significant
foreign interest recorded in diversified counters over the month totaling
approx. LKR17.9 bn, helped arrest the slide in the ASI.

May
The 2nd week of May marked the earnings season for the CSE with
majority of companies reporting FY12 full year results. The noticeable
slowdown in YoY earnings growth for many sectors dampened investor
expectations. During the month, Fitch ratings reaffirmed its BB- rating
with a stable outlook for Sri Lankas sovereign debt. Further, a
significant negative market event was revealed to the market on the
9th of May, which saw the suspension of NSBs custodial role by CSE
over its failure to honor the purchase of its 13% stake in The Finance
Company (TFC). The much publicized incident led to the Securities &
Exchange commission (SEC) introducing more stringent trading
measures for market insiders. The overall impact was a drop in YTD
performance of the ASI to negative 20% by the end of the month.

April
The confidence in the future economic outlook by both the IMF and the
ADB which expected a GDP growth of 7.5% and 7% for 2012
respectively resulted in a slight upturn in the index. On the other hand,
in the external side of the economy, the trade balance rose
exponentially in 1Q2012 as the economy felt the effects of the J-curve
phenomenon which causes in the short term a worsening of the terms
of trade in the event of a significant depreciation. Also in response to
this, the Central bank decided to tighten monetary policy even further
by raising both the repo and reverse repo rates by 25bps. However,
both the IMF & the Central Bank remained confident that growth rates
would be sustained despite short term weaknesses which lent
confidence to equity investors.

June
The market continued its slide in the month of June as the high interest
rate environment brought about by the Central Banks decision to keep
policy rates at an elevated level in order to limit excessive credit
growth, resulted in returns offered by stable fixed income instruments
such as time deposits and debentures seem more attractive to retail
investors over uncertain more risky equity investments. The index fell
to its lowest level of 4737.75 with an YTD loss of 22% on the 6th of June
over growing concerns over governance related matters which
prompted the SEC to boost its investigative capacity. Turning to the
external side, the policies undertaken by the Central Bank to limit
private sector credit growth coupled with the depreciation of the
Rupee resulted in a slowdown in the growth of imports which could
have contributed towards the slight upturn in the market witnessed
towards the end of the month.

Despite the outbreak of several positive news; such as relaxation of

broker credit period, 10.5 times oversubscription of the USD1 bn
sovereign bond and the receipt of the final tranche of the USD 2.5 bn
standby agreement (SBA), the bourse didnt witness a major turnaround
in local investor participation. However the foreign participation for the
month of July increased mainly on account of the IMFs positive outlook
on the country and the release of the final tranche of USD 2.5bn SBA
which resulted in a net foreign inflow of LKR2.5 bn compared to the net
foreign inflow of LKR6.2mn recorded in June. The gross official reserves of
the country also improved significantly to reach USD 7.1 bn in July, the
highest figure for the 12 months. On a separate note, the drought
conditions witnessed during the 2Q2012 took a toll on the prices of
consumer goods in July. Colombo Consumer price index accelerated to a
15-month high of 9.8 percent in July as the dry weather damaged most
food crops.
The month of August was highlighted with significant structural changes in

SEC. With the resignation of the SEC Chairman Mr.Thilak Karunaratne, the
bourse was covered in a veil of speculation as to the identity of the next
chairman. A heightened activity in both turnover levels and volumes were
witnessed during the last two weeks of August as the market rumored
that Dr.Nalaka Godahewa would be appointed as the new SEC chairman
whilst the official announcement was made towards the end of the
month. The month also highlighted the release of earnings for the June
quarter where a YoY dip in most companies was witnessed mainly owing
to the negative economic conditions such as increasing interest rates,
depreciation of LKR and mounting energy prices. However, expectations
over a positive structural change in SEC resulted in YTD improving from 18.8% in end of July to -14.4% in end of August.

Repeating the history, the bourse witnessed an extra boost in activity

the economy witnessed a further tightening on its 2012 full year growth
targets with Central Bank releasing the 2Q2012 economic results. The
economic growth eased to 6.4% YoY during the second quarter of the year
mainly on account of the tightened monetary policies and drought
conditions. Subsequently, Central Bank revised its economic growth

Month of October was predominantly driven by profit booking where
speedy gains witnessed in most counters during September faded away
dragging down both indices. October was marked by SECs decision to
relax several regulations such as loosening the broker credit margins,
lifting 20% upper price limit on off market deals and lifting the ban on
directors and employees of broking firm selling shares within six
months from their purchase. During the month, government decided to
increase the excise duty on liquor, while the price ceiling on cement
and poultry was also increased creating pressure on consumer price
levels. Subsequent to the Central Banks 2012 economic growth
revision in September, IMF also made a downward revision to the
projected economic growth from 7.5% to 6.7%.

Overview of Sri Lankas Economic Developments - 2012
Sri Lanka managed to successfully avoid an external payments crisis in 2012 and maintained a robust real economic
growth of 6.4% during the first three quarters of 2012 outpacing most regional economies amidst a challenging external
and internal economic environment and become one of the fastest growing economies in Asia-Pacific. However,
3Q2012 saw real GDP growth moderating to 4.8% YoY mainly on the back of the sharp dip in paddy output by 38.2% YoY
in the face of adverse weather conditions. Further, contractionary monetary and tax policy measures adopted by state
authorities to avoid an external payments crisis coupled with the waning demand from export destinations curbed the
pace of real growth of manufacturing and services to 3.3% and 4.6% YoY respectively from 7.7% and 7.8% YoY from the
previous year. The major contributors to real output growth in 3Q2012 were Mining & Quarrying (16.2% YoY),
Construction (16.5% YoY), Hotels & Restaurants (25.3% YoY), Transport & Communication (7.8% YoY), Banking,
Insurance and Real Estate, etc., (7.1% YoY) and Private services (6.7% YoY).

With regard to the external sector, deficit in the trade account and imports expenditure dropped 1% and 4% YoY
respectively from Jan-Oct 2012 owing to the market and nonmarket corrective measures adopted by the fiscal and
monetary authorities with the aim of narrowing the deficit in the trade account of the balance of payments. On the face
of this shift in governments response to overcome contradictions in the economys growth process, gross official
reserves improved significantly to USD 6.6 billion by October 2012 from USD 5.5 billion in February 2012 despite exports
receipts falling 6.6% YoY in Jan-Oct 2012. Improvement in gross official reserves in the face of declining exports receipts
was achieved by monetary authorities raising the level of domestic real interest rates significantly above that of the
regional economies to attract foreign savings into economys financial sphere primarily targeting government securities.
This was further assisted by the changes in the monetary policy environment which allowed the sharp depreciation of
the currency, rendering domestic financial and real assets more price-competitive in world markets.
On the back of these developments, interest yield on government paper and market interest rates spiked over 500 basis
points during the year raising the foreign inflows to the government securities by a massive 129.3% YoY to USD 2.1
billion in Jan-Oct 2012, strengthening the official reserves and balance of payments position amidst declining exports
receipts of the economy. For instance, the yield on Sri Lankas on-the-run 10 year government bonds increased to 1297
basis points(bps) while financially troubled Greece has a 10 year bond spread of 990bps; 307 points lower than Sri
Lanka. In the face of these adjustments, coupled with the credit growth ceiling imposed on the banking sector by the
monetary authorities, credit growth to private sector from the domestic banking system eased to 23.5% YoY in Jan-Oct
2012 from a high of 33.4% YoY in the previous year. As a result, reserve money growth moderated to 10.7% YoY from

On the other hand, nonmarket fiscal measures were adopted by treasury authorities to stem the flow of imports by
sharply raising domestic fuel prices, increasing taxes on essential goods such as milk powder and other imported food
products and raising taxes on imports of consumer vehicles & parts and agricultural equipment, etc. Inflationary
pressures set in on the back of these developments curtailing domestic demand and reducing the expected 2012E GDP
growth to 6.5% from over 8%. The tax revenue growth of the government in this setting slid to 7.6% YoY in Jan-Sep 2012
from 12.1% in 2011. On the other hand, unavoidable liabilities in the form of interest and salaries expenditure,
procurement costs and welfare expenses picked up during the year, which in turn caused the fiscal authorities to raise
consumer taxes to remain close to the deficit target of 6.2% of 2012 GDP. On account of these fiscal developments the
general price level of the economy increased further towards the end of the year and the point to point inflation in
November reached as much as 9.5% while the annual average rate of inflation remains at 7.6%.
The drawback on domestic demand was held back to a considerable extent by the inward flow of labour remittances
gathering pace significantly during the year despite the negative growth of exports receipts. Workers remittances rose
17.6% YoY to USD 4.9 billion in Jan-Oct 2012 increasing its share as a percentage of total exports receipts of the
economy to 60.5%. The ratio more than doubled from 27.1% in 2004 and workers remittances have become the single
largest net foreign exchange earner of the economy. Further, in this connection, CBSL estimates that approximately 30%
-40% of the workers remittances are channelled in through unregistered sources, indicating that its contribution to the
growth of domestic demand is significantly exceeding the figures provided by official sources. Its also indicative of the
fact that rising inflow of remittances boosts household disposable income independent of the level of aggregate
incomes derived within the economy. The increase in the flow of remittances coupled with the growth in governments
deficit spending to nearly 7% of the 2012E GDP held up domestic demand amidst tight monetary and tax policy
environments and waning external demand for domestic suppliers.

The rapid growth in the number of workers proceeding for foreign employment has become a key force in keeping Sri
Lankas unemployment at low levels compared to the region (3.9% 3Q2012) and in maintaining domestic purchasing
power in the face of unfavourable external and internal economic developments. This is indicated by 24.6% of
economys workforce resorting to foreign employment by end of 2011 and the ratio almost doubling from 13.1% in
2003. The other important aspect in this connection is that over 96% of the departures are for non-technical
employment and 91.5% of the migrant workers are finding employment in the Middle East region with a per capita
remittance of LKR 15,264 per month.
Further, the growing contribution of workers remittances to total exports receipts over the years as mentioned earlier
indicates that the composition of Sri Lankas comparative advantage is shifting from industrial production aimed at
supplying domestic and world markets to exporting surplus labour and supplying services targeting a captive home
demand. This demonstrates that the direction of economys aggregate investments is increasingly turning inwards. For
instance, highest percentage shares of 3Q2012 GDP at constant 2002 prices was attained by fields related to
Construction (8.1%), Whole sale & Retail Trade (23.9%), Transport & Communication (14.6%), Banking, Insurance & Real
Estate (8.7%), Private Services & Ownership of Dwellings (4.7%), Government Services (6.7%) and Food & Beverages
(7.3%), accounting for 74% of the 3Q2012 real GDP. This peculiar phenomenon of investments acquiring nonindustrial
and inward characteristics under the guidance of market forces and states facilitation tends to periodically produce
external payments issues in the absence of tight monetary and fiscal measures and affects the overall growth of factor
incomes and factor endowment in the economy. Hence, we are of the view that the Sri Lankan economy bears one of
the highest potential in the Asian region, since except for South Asia, the rest of Asia-Pacific to a considerable extent has
been able to correct its structural imbalances and are now growing at a more stable rate of real growth. Hence, more
emphasis should be made on the qualitative nature of Sri Lankas growth process rather than its quantitative aspects,
with the aim of reaching equilibrium in the growth structure. Hence, it appears that a structural shift in the general
pattern of investments is critical.

In this light, it is our view that productive investments should replace the relative dominance of nonindustrial forms of
socially less productive investments to achieve a more productive use of factors in the economy. The lack of dynamism
in export oriented industries and the relatively slow growth of industries supplying for a captive domestic market and
the expansion of nonindustrial investments remains a key reason in the external payments issues and tight nonmarket
policy measures that arise periodically. The importance of Sri Lankas economic structure weighs over and above of its
developments at the financial level and is the key in determining its future course of expansion. A sustained high rate of
growth depends upon a continuous emergence of new inventions and innovations, providing the bases for new
industries whose high rates of growth compensate for the inevitable slowing down in the rates of growth of the older
industries. A high rate of overall growth is thus accompanied by considerable shifting in relative importance among
industries, as the old decline and the new increase in relative weight in the nations output.
Hence, a carefully structured state intervention may be one possible solution to support and guide market forces to
achieve the shift in resource allocation from less productive to productive sectors. The East Asian governments in this
regard during its development process managed to achieve a balance between market forces and planning, fostering
more desirable aspects of market forces while avoiding its excess. However, fiscal frameworks announced in Sri Lankas
post-war era in this regard, sought to facilitate economic growth without necessarily considering these qualitative and
structural aspects of the envisaged growth pattern.

Future Prospects of Sri Lankan Economy 2013 and Beyond
In this general backdrop, we expect 2013E real GDP to grow by a minimum of 6.6% YoY and the nominal GDP to grow
14.03% YoY to LKR 8,689.1 billion. We expect the annual average rate of inflation to ease to 5.5% in 2013 from 7.6% in
2012 and the Average Weighted Lending Rate (AWLR) during the year to stabilize at around 15.5% reversing the
increasing trend of interest rates in 2012. The removal of the credit growth ceiling imposed on the banking sector by the
monetary authority will take effect from January 2013 onwards. On account of this measure we expect the AWLR to
marginally dip during the year and also the banking sector to move into more long term financing. Hence, supply and
cost of capital for investments will tend to remain at a relatively favourable range in 2013 compared to 2012. We expect
the external sector is expected to retain its stability in 2013 in account of the market and nonmarket measures adopted
by fiscal and monetary authorities during 2012 to offset the deficit in the current account of the balance of payments.
Further, tourism sector is likely to remain decoupled from the waning demand prospects in the world markets unlike
the exports sector and hence may continue to outperform the output growth of the rest of the economy. This is to say
that the locally based backward linkages of tourism such as poultry are highly likely to benefit from the current boom in
the leisure sector.
We expect the governments financial position to consolidate on the back of upward revision of consumer taxes and
fuel prices during the second half of 2012, despite the aggregate demand in the economy is likely to moderate during
the course of the year. Hence, total tax revenue growth is likely to converge with the rate of expansion of the nominal
GDP contributing positively towards revenue growth and easing the deficit position during the year.
However, given that, unavoidable costs of the government (e.g. salaries & wages and interest and capital payments) as
a ratio of revenue has been rising, thus the resources available to public services such as healthcare, education, waste
disposal and transfer payments would remain limited. On the other hand, a possible inadequate growth of state
resources is likely to further reduce the supply quality and supply quantity of services traditionally provided by the
government in the long run. This in turn may open up fields such as education, health care, waste management and
security services for private investments and the composition of the supply of these particular services is likely to shift
from government to the private sector and hence, may turn favourable towards the latter. Especially, healthcare, which
is a material intensive process relative to other public services such as education and waste disposal, will be susceptible
to this trend more than other spheres. Hence, private investments in healthcare could be expected to increase in the
medium to long run which is likely to provide higher relative returns comparable to that of tourism. Hence, the sector
remains attractive for long term direct capital allocations as well as for equity investments. Furthermore, given the
relative non-tradability of service oriented activities, (that is to say that services sector compared to industry and
agriculture is less prone to enter trade across national boundaries) these fields remain inherently protected from
external competitive forces providing further comparative advantage for private investments. Hence, we expect the
private sector to increase its presence in these fields, and in the long run account for a larger share of output in these
sectors.

Highest earnings during the periodwas reported from 1QCY2012 that added LKR 53,598mn towards the market earnings
tally. Favorable economic conditions, which prevailed in the country during the beginning of the quarter, supported
such a growth, whereby most of the key sectors such (as Banking and Finance, Diversified, Food & Beverage,
Manufacturing, Hotels etc.) registered its highest earnings during 1QCY2012.
Subsequently the upward revision of taxes, interest rates, prices of fuel, credit celling imposed on banks and the
depreciating of the LKR, suppressed earnings of many sectors, which is clearly depicted by the significant drop of 39%
QoQin earnings during the 2QCY2012. Earnings regained back in 3QCY2012 with the appreciation of the rupee, which
supported the improvement in performance of key sectors.

15% YoY growth for 9MCY2012, despite the measures taken to curb the credit growth. However, finance companies
registered a 5% YoY dip for 9MCY2012 due to a decline in vehicle financing followed by the tax hike and increased
interest rates that restricted the vehicle purchase. Commercial Bank being the main contributor towards the earnings
of 9MCY2012 witnessed a YoY growth of 25% in earnings during the period. Hatton National Bank became the second

The Plantation sector comprises 18 listed companies accounting for circa 1.2% of the total market capitalization. Even
though the sector witnessed a buoyant growth of 151% YoY for 9MCY2012, it should be noted that during 2011 the
plantation companies faced a wage revision that increased the cost of production and also resulted in one-off gratuity
provision being charged to the income statement dragging the profits down. In addition, companies which have higher
exposure to tea have experienced the demand for tea condensing further and witnessed a major decline in their
earnings mainly due to the crisis in the Middle East. Wattawala Plantation witnessed a growth of 115% YoY mainly due
to the divestment of Wattawala Marketing Ltd. In addition, Kegalle Plantation witnessed a YoY dip of 6% for 9MCY2012

9MCY2011
Power and Energy Sector

The sector includes 8 listed companies which are spread across business such both fuel distribution and power
generation. The sector witnessed an astounding growth of 79% YoY for 9MCY2012 mainly due to the strong growth
witnessed in the fuel distribution companies due to the fuel and energy price hikes. Hence, companies such as Lanka
IOC and Laugfs Gas enjoyed a staggering growth of 987% YoY and 48% YoY respectively for 9MCY2012 due to the strong
growth in their top line. On the other hand, Vallibel Power (-41% YoY), Hemas Power (-48% YoY), Hydro Power (171%) and Panasian Power (-82%) witnessed sharp drop in earnings due to the drought conditions that prevailed
during the middle of the year affecting the hydro power generation.

Sector consists of two counters, which captures 7% of the total market capitalization, which is LKR 144,387mn. Both
counters witnessed growth in earnings collectively contributing towards a sector earnings growth of 12.3% YoY to reach
approximately LKR 8,344.3mn for 9MCY2012. Earnings of Dialog during 9MCY2012, increased 39% YoY contributing
66% towards sector earnings. This was mainly on the back of a deferred tax reversal, which took place during the
September quarter of 2012. However, during 1QCY2012 the sector reported negative results, as Dialog posted a loss,
due to the mammoth rise in its finance charge arising from revaluing forex loans. Meanwhile SLTL saw a YoY decline of
18% in its cumulative earnings for 9MCY2012. In addition, SLTL also underperformed during the March quarter
2012because of the increased finance charge during that period.

Frontier Markets Vs ASIs Performance
Frontier Markets are a subset of emerging markets. Key features of the Frontier Markets are; lower market
capitalization and less liquidity compared to more developed emerging markets, and lower correlation with mature
markets. Frontier markets are being sought after by investors seeking high risk and return, long term investments and
looking for diversification. It is believed that investments in frontier assets would diversify and reduce risk of their
portfolios due to lower correlation with other markets.
In this regard, it is important to analyze the performance of the overall frontier markets and the correlation between
frontier market indices and the Sri Lankan equity markets.
Source: Bloomberg
It was witnessed that correlation between the ASI and the MSCI World index has come down during 2012 to a coefficient
of 0.35 from a previous high coefficient of 0.68 recorded historically in 2011. Sri Lankas low correlation with developed
markets together with the strong growth potential compared with regional peers would remain attractive to foreign
investors who seek to diversify their risk. The foreign investors involvement during 2012 recording the highest ever net
foreign inflow of Rs.38Bn to date emphasizes the relative attractiveness of the equity market in the country, which can be
compared with high net portfolio equity outflows prevailed during 2005-2010.

Future outlook
It has been the case that investors who are seeking diversification from matured markets moving towards frontier
markets seeking opportunities to benefit from these growing economies. Sri Lanka is expected to benefit as well, backed
by governments intention to create an investor friendly climate enshrined in its 2011, 2012, and 2013 budget
proposals.
However, it is important to note that these benefits involve its own risks such as currency risk, less liquidity in the markets
and regulatory and trading execution risk.

Performance of stocks for which we have provided target prices in 2012
As discussed above, the adverse movements in the macro factors particularly rising interest rates, depreciation of LKR
have taken its toll at the Colombo bourses performance. Further, the attractive rates on fixed income investments led
to a shift in investors interest towards it and dragged down the performance of the bourse. However, the bourses YTD
performance which slipped by almost 20% during the mid of this year, improved to -8.3% by end of the year mainly due
to a sudden upward trend witnessed during the month of September. Hence, this is an attempt to review the
performance of those counters that were released with target prices during this year.

Analysis of Various Warrants Listed on the CSE
The below table depicts a comparison of the warrants trading price with its intrinsic value (derived through the Black
Scholes Call option valuation method). The 6th column to the right depicts the difference between the intrinsic value
and the traded price. Hence, the positive figures would explain the potential for the respective warrant to further
appreciate. Thus, the negative value would denote that the warrant is overvalued at the current price (assuming the
underlying stock price to be constant). However, it is noted that the intrinsic value is derived based on the current
value of the underlying stock price, its volatility, period to maturity and the risk free rate. Hence, any adverse
movement of the mentioned assumptions would have an adverse impact on the warrant value, and any favourable
movement would positively impact the warrant value (E.g.: if in case the asset price appreciates from the existing, it
would invariably increase the value of the warrant.

Oil was on a declining trend for the first half of the week as policy makers in the U.S failed to reach a compromise
over the so-called fiscal cliff issue before the Christmas holiday. However oil futures rose towards the latter half of
the week as analysts continue to remain hopeful that policy makers will muddle through in coming up with an
acceptable solution before the year end. While supply issues in the Middle East due to tensions in Iran and the
Middle East would continue to remain in the coming year, Citigroup expects growth in oil supplies to originate mainly
from non-OPEC countries such as the U.S & Canada. Citigroup estimates a 60% YoY growth in non-OPEC contribution
to oil production, which is equivalent to an additional 900,000 barrels a day in 2013.

Commodity Prices
Gold
Gold strengthened marginally by 0.8% WoW as the yellow metal heads for a 12 th consecutive annual gain in returns.
Prices of gold have currently gained approx. 6% YTD with many analysts expecting Gold to hit USD2,000/ton in the
coming year. Analysts also expect mining stocks which had been mostly bearish in the current year to outperform in
the following year with the pickup in gold prices. Meanwhile a Bloomberg survey over the week revealed that
majority of gold traders are most bullish on gold prices in more than four months. As a result gold futures for
February rose 0.1% WoW.
Copper
Positive news out of the U.S relating to employment and housing sales resulted in a strengthening of prices of the red
metal. While new home sales rose by 4.4% YoY in November; the highest ever level in more than two years, the
weakened USD as a result of the uncertainty created over the Fiscal Cliff issue further bolstered prices. Copper
futures for March delivery traded on the COMEX rose 0.4% WoW, while a Bloomberg survey revealed that copper
investor optimism was on the rise.
USD
The greenback weakened to an eight month low against the Euro as issues pertaining to the Fiscal Cliff continued
to dominate investor sentiment. FOREX traders expect an increase in volatility of the US Dollar as the deadline for
reaching an agreement draws near. The Yen also depreciated against a basket of currencies to hit a 28 month low as
the new Japanese Government increases pressure on the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to ease monetary policy in order to
stimulate the domestic economy.

Conclusion
2013 Outlook Towards a Rebound..
Growing importance of the CSE
The phenomenal performance of the Colombo bourse witnessed in the

immediate post war environment had garnered heightened interest by
both the government and the general public. However the over
exuberance and irrational behavior of market participants has in more
recent times led to a reassessment by both the government and the
general public of the role played by the capital markets in the
development of the economy. The government has correctly identified
that a well functioning capital market plays an essential role in economic
development. To this end, the government has made the further
development of the financial markets one of its top priorities for 2013
encompassed in its Capital Market Development Master Plan.

Index narrowing to more sustainable levels
Further, given that effective demand in the economys real sector is likely
to moderate during the year due to factors discussed earlier, we expect
that a relatively higher volume of surplus liquidity that is currently lying
idle among the corporate sector would enter into equity trade, causing a
shift of corporate savings towards equities. The trend would be further
assisted by the fact that high yielding spheres for large scale real
investments is moderating in the face of tight monetary and tax policy
environments as well as weak demand from export destinations. Large
scale conglomerates would hence tend to concentrate more on mergers
and acquisitions of smaller firms with the aim of concentration of supply
and capacity. It is likely that this change in the general corporate approach
towards investments would occur through large scale equity transactions.
This is to say that large scale institutional trades (crossings) would tend to
contribute more to the average daily turnover of the Colombo Stock
Exchange in 2013. Therefore, intermittent large scale buying from local
conglomerates can be expected.

The prospects of equity trade in Sri Lanka are likely to revive from 1Q2013
onwards on the back of higher flow of liquidity into equities owing to two
main causes. The removal of the credit ceiling imposed on banks by
monetary authorities will take effect from January 2013 onwards. Hence,
in this light market interest rates could dip further on the back of higher
availability of savings for lending purposes. This would further mean that
dip in interest rates is likely to exceed the 25 basis points policy rate cut
made in December 2012. Furthermore, we expect the interest rates to
remain stable compared to the sharp volatility seen in 2012 once a
particular level of equilibrium range is achieved through the free play of
market forces. In this back drop we believe that the flow of liquidity into
Sri Lankas equities is likely to increase.

Conclusion
In the governments budget proposal for 2013, a number of policy
measures pertaining to capital markets were implemented with the
intention of increasing investor participation in equities markets as well as
to promote underdeveloped financial instruments such as corporate
bonds and debentures. A number of policies involving the granting of tax
exemptions for newly listed firms subject to a minimum float may be an
attempt to encourage more company listings in the CSE, particularly in
sectors which are currently underrepresented in the equities market. This
may have been partly as a response to the dip in the number of new IPO
listings observed in 2011. While at the time of the budget proposal, the
government made no plans to list minority positions in any of the state
owned enterprises, the deputy finance minister had subsequently
announced that such listings may in the future become a reality. Hence
overall we expect to see a spike in the number of new listings.

We believe that the All Share Index will stabilize above current levels and
reach equilibrium in a better turnover regime. Hence, its our view that
the investors should take position in the fundamentally strong counters
as we expect large and medium scale activity levels to rise in 1Q2013.
We believe that sectors such as Banking, Leisure, Construction (especially
firms with a focus on government projects), Power & Energy and
Healthcare are likely to outperform in terms of future earnings potential.
However we are less certain whether the policy measures implemented
by the authorities in order to increase investor participation would be
adequate to rekindle interest amongst retail investors in the Colombo
bourse. All in all we continue to stress the fact that the multiples of Blue
Chips and other fundamentally sound counters remain attractive owing
to prolonged bearish movement, and are thus fully geared towards
meeting the fresh flow of cash due to the transfer of liquid resources to
the financial sphere of the economy.
Relatively attractive on a regional basis..

Largest specialized leasing company in Sri Lanka, a subsidiary of Peoples Bankthe 2nd largest commercial bank of the country, a holding of 75%.Principal
business activity of the PLC is the provision of finance leasing, operating leasing,
HP facilities etc... The current financial performance of the company is sound
with an interest margin of 9% for FY2012. However, the financial sector in the
economy is facing a challenge with high interest rates and accompanied low
demand for credit. This would dampen the growth in loan volumes yet
profitability would remain satisfactory. Further, due to tense competition posed
through other finance institutions including LCBs RFCs, LSBs, the market share
of PLC would deplete but would remain as a key player in SLCs sector. Going by
these, we believe PLC is a medium to long term healthy investment to consider.

the company is well poised to take advantage in the prevailing economic boom

upward trend consequent to the increased policy rates in the beginning of
February 2012, yet the performance of SAMP would not get largely affected due
to availability of various funding avenues and unimpeded credit demand.

However, the spike in interest rates consequent to the increased policy rates in

The company at present virtually holds a

coupled with the growing demand derived from the rapid developments
