   (b) Borrowing costs capitalised during the year to 31 December 1999 were Rs. 490 million (1998 - Rs. 691 million). No assets         have been mortgaged or pledged as security by SLTL.
           
  (c) The value of property, plant & equipment includes capitalised borrowing costs. The cost and net book value of such      borrowing costs are as follows:

(d) The cost of property, plant & equipment also includes Rs. 2,437 million (1998 - Rs. 2,707 million), being the net book value      of customs duty waivers granted to SLTL on the import of equipment for the 150,000 Line Project to 31 December 1999     (refer note 22).
 
   
 
         
 
(e) The Directors believe SLTL has freehold title to land and buildings transferred from SLT on incorporation (conversion of SLT      to SLTL on 25 September 1996), although it is uncertain whether vesting orders specifying all the demarcations and      extents of such land and buildings were issued.
 
   
 
         
 
(f) The property, plant & equipment is not insured except for third party motor vehicle insurance. An insurance reserve has    been created together with a sinking fund investment to meet a future loss with regard to uninsured property, plant &    equipment. At the balance sheet date, Rs. 62 million stood to the credit of the reserve and is included under provisions (note    18). The sinking fund investment of that amount is included under cash & cash equivalents (note 13 (a)).
