In your hands is our first integrated Annual report. Its advantage over the previous format is that it allows the Company to communicate more effectively and concisely the interactions and interdependence of the many aspects of our business - such as strategy, governance, performance and prospects - in the context of creating value over time. In order that we may balance the twin considerations of brevity and completeness we have made use of multiple media. The print version of the integrated report thus provides cross references to additional details that may be accessed by scanning the QR code found on relevant pages, while one may also visit our interactive online report for a more comprehensive account. (http://thelighthousehotelplc2013-14.annualreports.lk) Value Creation and Capital Formation Although our Annual Report 2012/13 included a Sustainability Report, commencing this year, we have seamlessly integrated financial reporting and sustainability reporting to better describe the duality of our purpose, namely, deriving and delivering value that leads to internal and external capital formation. Our internal capital formation is a result of value created by The Lighthouse Hotel PLC for The Lighthouse Hotel PLC and comprises financial capital and institutional capital. Our external capital formation is a result of financial and non-financial value created by The Lighthouse Hotel PLC for its stakeholders. Both aspects are relevant as the ability of The Lighthouse Hotel PLC to create value for itself is linked to the value it creates for others. These concepts are discussed in greater detail on pages 36 and 37. In preparing this report we have drawn on concepts, principles and guidance given in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines G3.1 (2011) [www.globalreporting.org] International Integrated Reporting Framework (2013) and the [www.theiirc.org] Smart Integrated Reporting MethodologyTM [www.smart.lk] 14 The Lighthouse Hotel PLC | Annual Report 2013/14 Recognition… 70 Stewardship… 71 Financial Report… 89 Annexes… 137 Board of Directors Annual Report of the Board of Directors The Related Companies which had Corporate Governance on the Affairs of the Company Transactions with the Company Remuneration Committee Report Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities Names of the Directors of the Related Audit Committee Report Independent Auditors’ Report Companies which had Transactions with the Company Risk Management Statement of Financial Position Income Statement Information to Shareholders and Investors Statement of Comprehensive Income Ten Year Summary Statement of Changes in Equity GRI Content Index Statement of Cash Flows Corporate Information Notes to the Financial Statements Report Boundary The Lighthouse Hotel PLC does not have any subsidiaries or associates.
