MicroCred Nanchong

Lianggang He Chief Executive Officer MicroCred Nanchong 2012 was a very strong year for MicroCred Nanchong in spite of the funding constraints by the end of the year. Thanks in large part to the commitment of all the team and the strong support from MicroCred Holding, the subsidiary was able to meet all its key performance objectives, to pilot Agent Model with MicroCred Sichuan, to secure the approval of foreign debt quota and to receive a number of honorable awards at the national level. By the year end, MicroCred Nanchong disbursed a total of 11,209 loans with an amount of RMB 455 million or EUR 56MM, presenting an increases of 16% and 30% respectively than last year. The number of active loans reached 9,743 and the gross outstanding portfolio was RMB 269 million, which were 21% and 34% higher than those in 2011. Portfolio at risk over 30 days remained at 0.15%, which was the lowest so far. These figures demonstrate well that MicroCred Nanchong is very sustainable. Financially MicroCred Nanchong was also doing quite well in 2012. Total revenue was RMB 54 million or EUR 2.1 million and net result after taxes and donations was over RMB 17 million or EUR 2.1 million, respectively representing 99% and 95% of the budgeted figures in the financial business plan. At the same time, ROA and ROE

reached 7% and 14%, accounting for 93% and 91% of the forecast. Although MicroCred Nanchong could not 100% met its financial objectives, these figures are the best in the operational history of the company so far. 2012 was also a year for innovations and creativity. MicroCred Nanchong tested Loan Agent Model with MicroCred Sichuan with an amount of over RMB 20 million. This has greatly helped MicroCred Nanchong abate the impact of funding constraint by the end of the year. More importantly, through Agent model, MicroCred Nanchong has accumulated a lot of experiences regarding accounting, MIS and portfolio management, which will serve to work with other institutions to deal with the leverage issue. Another significant breakthrough was that MicroCred Nanchong secured the approval of Foreign Debt Quota after a series of intense negotiations with officials from Sichuan provincial government. This will well ease the funding issue in the years to come. As CEO, I am very proud of the achievements. I want to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to our shareholders, to our loyal clients and to all the committed staff in MicroCred Nanchong for their lasting support and dedication, I am very optimistic that MicroCred Nanchong will have even faster growth in the years to come.

MicroCred Sichuan Highlights 2012 MicroCred Sichuan experienced fast growth in 2012 in its second year of operation in Chengdu. In this year, it made achievements not only in operations, but also in geographic expansion, funding, team stability and Social Performance Management (SPM) implementation.

OPERATION RESULTS In 2012, a total of 2,813 loans amounting to RMB 170MM (EUR 20MM) were disbursed, representing an increase of 80% and 84% respectively compared to last year. Its portfolio increased by 95% over the previous year and reached RMB 107MM (EUR 12.9MM). I had 2,525 active loans at year end, being 92% higher than it was in 2011. Though its operational results were much higher than the previous year, its loan quality remained at the same excellent level as before, with PAR >0 day being 0.54%.

GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION In 2012, MicroCred Sichuan set up 3 new outlets, adding its total number of distribution points to be 6, covering clients not only in the city center of Chengdu, but also in more rural areas. All of these three outlets continued the small team structure of « 1 Outlet Manager + 1 Client Advisor + 4/5 Commercial Officers » and as a result, though the outlet number increased, total number of commercial officers of the company did not increase significantly, being only 3 more than it in 2011.

FUNDING To maintain its stable portfolio growth, MicroCred Sichuan used up its paid-in capital of RMB 100MM (EUR 12MM) and borrowed RMB 46MM (EUR 5.5 MM ) from China Development Bank at the leverage rate of 50%. With sufficient cash on hand, MicroCred Sichuan conducted in cooperating with MicroCred Nanchong via the called as Agency Loan Model, with which MicroCred Nanchong disbursed an extra 562 loans amounting to RMB 26MM (3MM). The successful operation of this cooperation model provided a good example for both companies to break through the funding limitations, without violating existing legal regulations, especially by way of cooperating with institutions outside MicroCred Group.

MicroCred China / Annual Report 2012

CO PRODUCTIVITY The substantial improvement of Commercial Officers productivity is another highlight in 2012. At the beginning of the year, impacted by the unclear operational management structure and the lack of experience of the Commercial Officers team, MicroCred Sichuan suffered low Commercial Officers productivity, being only 4 loan disbursements per Commercial Officers in January. By restructuring the operational management team and implementation of intensive training for Commercial Officers team and « one-week on-the-field practice » for new Commercial Officers, productivity increased to 10 loans disbursement per Commercial Officers at the end of the year, being 150% higher than the level at the beginning of the year.

SOCIAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION In 2012, with the support of Social Performance Management (SPM) team at MicroCred Holding, MicroCred Sichuan successfully launched SPM in the company, with the main steps being: 1. modification of social mission and approval from board members; 2. publication of Social Responsibility Charter; 3. SPM training for all staff; 4. establishment social SPM indictors. With the full implementation of SPM, the company found a good balance between operational targets and company social responsibilities.

Outlook 2013 The priorities of MicroCred Sichuan in 2013 will be to achieve its operational and financial objectives as described in the Business Plan. The following actions will be taken.

GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION At the end of 2012, MicroCred Sichuan had 6 distribution points, covering 2 city center districts, 1 outskirt district, 1 outskirt town and 1 outskirt County, and provided micro-loan and SME loan services to 2,813 clients, including both small business owners and farmers. To further extend its service coverage and to provide strong financial support to more clients outside the existing distribution network, the company will continue its efforts

of setting up new outlets in the Chengdu Urban area. The targeted locations will not only be city downtown areas, but also in the surrounding counties/county-level cities of Chengdu. These outlets will continue the small structure, meaning « one Outlet Manager + one Client Advisor + 4/5 Commercial Officers ». According to plan, two or three new outlets will be opened in 2013 to cover the counties and districts in the north and west part of Chengdu.

BREAKING-THROUGH FUNDING LIMITATION With paid-in capital of RMB 100MM (EUR 12MM) and loan borrowed from China Development Bank valued at RMB 46MM (EUR 5.5MM), MicroCred Sichuan does not have a short term funding shortage in 2013. But for its make sustainable operational growth, it requires strong funding support. Based on the successful experience with MicroCred Nanchong on the Agency Loan Model, MicroCred Sichuan will initiate a similar cooperation with Huixin Microcredit Company’s (MCC), a local MCC with registered capital of RMB 300MM (EUR 36MM). From this cooperation, it will get funding support valued at RMB 30MM (EUR 3.6MM) to support its loan disbursement, and then share profit with Huixin MCC. This action will break the funding constraints set by supervisory authorities and can provide sufficient support to the sustainable growth of the subsidiary.

PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT As last year, Commercial Officers will be requested to work within a limited area assigned by the company, so as to reduce the time spent on transportation. The structure of small and simple teams will be continued so as to improve the management efficiency of branch/outlet manager. Medium level Commercial Officers will be authorized to conduct loan evaluation, replacing the role of the previous coordinator and sharing the working load of branch/outlet managers. Remote working tool - laptop will be widely applied among medium level operational management team in order to offer flexible working place and time for them. Extra SME officers will be recruited to facilitate the development of SME loan disbursement in the company. The HR team will continue to carry out the strict policy of improving the general working capability of Commercial Officers.

Yet, during the course of 2012, MicroCred Nanchong was asked by China Development Bank to repay the outstanding loans to again abide by the 50% leverage rule, following related announcement by CBRC. Facing a substantial funding constraint, MicroCred Nanchong applied for a Foreign Debt Quota that was approved in December 2012 and enables the company to draw funding from overseas sources of up to RMB 200M. For MicroCred Nanchong, debt funding at the end of the year stood at RMB 113,5M, which comes from CDB (RMB 98.5M) and BMPP (RMB 15M). For MicroCred Sichuan debt funding at the end of the year amounted to RMB 46M, all from CDB.

Financial Statements MicroCred China Limited Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in Hong Kong dollar) 1. REPORTING ENTITY MicroCred China Limited (the «Company») is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in Hong Kong. The address of its registered office is 9th Floor, Hutchison House, 10 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong Kong. The ultimate holding company is MicroCred S.A. which is incorporated in France and has produced financial statements available for public use. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the «Group» and individually as «Group entities»). The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are granting loans and providing loan related consulting services.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION 1. Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable International Financial Reporting Standards («IFRSs») issued by the International Accounting Standards Board («IASB»), which collective term includes all applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards («IASs») and Interpretations issued by the IASB. These financial statements also comply with the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group is set out in Note 3 below. 2. Accounting year The accounting year of the Group is from 1 January to 31 December. 3. Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. 4. Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency, except when otherwise indicated.

MicroCred China / Annual Report 2012

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLIDES 1. Basis of consolidation i. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date - i.e. when control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In accessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: -- the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus -- the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus -- if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree; less -- the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gam is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards) and relate to past services, then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based value of the replacement awards compared with the market-based value of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to past and/or future service.

29


Financial Statements ii. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities control!ed by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. In the Company’s statement of financial position, investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less impairment losses (see Note 3(8)(b)). iii. Loss of control On the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently that retained interest is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an availablefor-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. iv. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 2. Foreign currency i. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency

30

are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign cunency differences arising on retranslation are generally recognised in profit or loss. However, foreign currency differences arising from the retranslation of the following items are recognised in other comprehensive income: -- available-for-sale equity investments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss); -- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or -- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective. ii. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Hong Kong dollar at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Hong Kong dollar at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposa!. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor Iikely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such item are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation and are recognised in

other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity. 3. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 4. Fixed assets Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Group for administrative purposes with useful lives over one year. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 3(8)(b)). The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, capitalised borrowing costs, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Where the parts of an item of fixed assets have different useful lives or provide benefits to the Group in a different pattern, thus necessitating use of different depreciation rates or methods, each part is recognised as a separate fixed asset. The subsequent costs including the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets are recognised in the carrying amount of the item if the criteria to recognise fixed assets are satisfied, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of fixed assets are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposaI of an item of fixed asset are determined as the difference between the net disposai proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposaI. The cost of fixed assets, less its estimated residual value and accumulated impairment losses, is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated usefullife, unless the fixed asset is classified as held for sale.


Financial Statements The estimated useful lives, residual value rates and depreciation rates of each class of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated usefullife

Residual value rate

Depreciation rate

Motor vehicles

4 years

10%

22.5%

Office & other equipment

3-5 years

10%

18% ~30%

Useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at least at each year-end. 5. Operating lease charges RentaI payments under operating leases are recognised as costs or expenses on a straightline basis over the lease term. 6. Intangible assets Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see Note 3(8)(b)). For an intangible asset with finite useful life, its cost less estimated residual value and accumulated impairment losses is amortised on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, unless the intangible asset is classified as held for sale. The respective amortisation periods for such intangible assets are as follows: Amortisation period Computer software

3-5 years

7. Financial instruments Financial instruments include cash at bank and on hand, interest receivable, loans and advances to customers, loans and borrowings and share capital. a. Recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities A financial asset or financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. The Group classifies financial assets and liabilities into different categories at initial recognition based on the purpose of acquiring assets or assuming liabilities: loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities. Financial assets and financial liabilities are

MicroCred China / Annual Report 2012

measured initially at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, any related directly attributable transaction costs are charged to profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, any related directly attributable transaction costs are included in their initial costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities are measured as follows: -- Loans and receivables : -- Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. -- Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. -- Other financial liabilities -- Financial liabilities, other than the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, are classified as other financial liabilities. -- Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. b. Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities A financial asset is derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or if the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another party. Where a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety meets the criteria for derecognition, the difference between the two amounts below is recognised in profit or loss: -- the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred -- the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognised directly in equity. -- The Group derecognises a financial liability (or part of it) only when the underlying present obligation (or part of it) is discharged, cancelled or expires. c. Equity instrument An equity instrument is a contract that proves the ownership interest of the assets after deducting allliabilities in the Group. The consideration received from the issuance of equity instruments net of transaction costs is recognised in owners’ equity.

8. Impairment of assets a. Impairment of financial assets The carrying amounts of financial assets (other than those at fair value through profit or loss) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised. -- Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are assessed for impairment both on an individual basis and on a collective group basis.

Where impairment is assessed on an individual basis, an impairment loss in respect of a receivable is calculated as the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows (exclusive of future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. The assessment is made collectively where loans and receivables share similar credit risk characteristics (including those having not been individually assessed as impaired), based on their historical loss experiences, and adjusted by the observable factors reflecting present economic conditions. If, after an impairment loss has been recognised on loans and receivables, there is objective evidence of a recovery in value of the financial asset which can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversaI of an impairment loss will not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding what the amortised cost would have been had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. b. Impairment of other assets The carrying amounts of the following assets are reviewed at each reporting date based on the internaI and external sources of information to determine whether there is any indication of impairment: -- fixed assets -- intangible assets -- other assets -- investment in subsidiaries If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset

31


Financial Statements is estimated. In addition, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of intangible assets not ready for use at least once during each year. An asset group is the smal!est identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. An asset group is composed of assets directly relating to cash-generation. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. In identifying an asset group, the Group also considers how management monitors the Group’s operations and how management makes decisions about continuing or disposing ofthe Group’s assets. The recoverable amount of an asset, asset group or set of asset groups is the higher of its fair value less costs to sel! and ils present value of expected future cash flows. An asset’s fair value less costs to sell is the amount determined by the price of a sale agreement in an arm’s length transaction, less the costs that are directly attributable to the disposaI of the asset. The present value of expected future cash flows of an asset is determined by discounting the future cash flows, estimated to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate disposaI, to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the result of the recoverable amount calculation indicates the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is recognised as an impairment loss and charged to profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment of the asset is recognised accordingly. 9. Employee benefits Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

32

10. Income tax Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity (including other comprehensive income). Current tax is the expected tax payable calculated at the applicable tax rate on taxable income for the year, plus any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. At the reporting date, current tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set them off and also intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases, which include the deductible losses and tax credits carried forward to subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. At the reporting date, the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates that are expected to be applied in the period when the asset is recovered or the Iiability is settled in accordance with tax laws. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. At the reporting date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if all the following conditions are met: -- the taxable entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and -- they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either:

---

the same taxable entity; or different taxable entities which intend either to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

11. Provisions and contingent liabilities A provision is recognised for an obligation related to a contingency if the Group has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to setlle the obligation. Where the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows. In terms of a possible obligation resulting from a past transaction or event, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events or a present obligation resulting from a past transaction or event, where it is not probable that the settlement of the above obligation will cause an outflow of economic benefits, or the amount of the outflow cannot be estimated reliably, the possible or present obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability. 12. Revenue recognition Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefit arrising in the course of the Group’s ordinary activities when those inflows result in increases in equity, other than increases relating to contributions from owners. Revenue is recognised in profit or loss when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group, the revenue and costs can be measured reliably and the following respective conditions are met: a. Interest income Interest income arising from the use by others of entity assets is recognised in profit or loss based on the duration and the effective interest rate. Interest income includes the amortisation of any discount or premium or differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest-bearing instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest rate basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of financial assets and liabilities and of allocating the interest income and interest expenses over


Financial Statements the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial instrument. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates cash flows considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, calI and similar options) but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes ail fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral pmi of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. Interest on the impaired financial assets is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the related impairment loss. b. Fees and commission income Fees and commission income is recognised in profit or loss when the corresponding service is provided. 13. Government grants Government grants are transfers of monetary assets or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount that is received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at its fair value. A government grant related to an asset is recognised initially as deferred income and amortised to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. A grant that compensates the Group for expenses to be incuned in the subsequent periods is recognised initially as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised. A grant that compensates the Group for expenses incurred is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

MicroCred China / Annual Report 2012

14. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs incurred directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Except for the above, other borrowing costs are recognised as financial expenses when incurred. The effective interest rate is determined as the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flow through the expected life of the borrowing or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the initially recognised amount of the borrowings. Borrowing costs are recognised as financial expenses when incurred. 15. Related parties a. A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Group if that person: -- (i) has control or joint control over the Group; -- (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or -- (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Group’s parent.

b. An entity is related to the Group ifany ofthe following conditions applies: (i) The entity and the Group are members of the same Group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others); (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a Group of which the other entity is a member); (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party; (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third party; (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group; (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person indentified in 1.; (vii) A person identified in 1.a has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.

16. Significant accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. a. Impairment of loans and advances The Group reviews the portfolios of loans and advances periodically to assess whether impairment losses exist and if they exist, the amounts of impairment losses. When loans and advances are collectively assessed for impairment, the estimate is based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the loans and advances. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of the relevant observable data that reflect current economic conditions. Management reviews the methodology and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows regularly to reduce any difference between estimated and actual losses. b. Impairment of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets: As described in Note 3(8)(b), assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of the assets. If any such indication exists, an impairment loss is recognised. The recoverable amount of an asset (asset group) is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its present value of expected future cash flows. Since a market price of the asset (the asset group) cannot be obtained reliably, the fair value of the asset cannot be estimated reliably. In assessing value in use, significant judgments are exercised over the asset’s production, selling price, related operating expenses and discount rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materials which can be obtained are used for estimation of the recoverable amount, including the estimation of the production, selling price and related operating expenses based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

Financial Statements c. Depreciation and amortisation of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets As described in Note 3(4) and 3(6), fixed assets and intangible assets are depreciated and amortised over their useful lives after taking into account residual value. The useful lives of the assets are regularly reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortisation costs charged in each reporting period. The usefuI lives of the assets are determined based on historical experience of similar assets and the estimated technical changes. If there have been significant changes in the factors used to determine the depreciation or amortisation, the rate of depreciation or amortisation is revised prospectively.

16. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost. The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions. The Group defines «capital» as including al! components of equity less unaccrued proposed dividends. On this basis the amount of capital employed at 31 December 2012 was HKD 273,663,041 (31 December 2011: HKD 249,534,278). During the year, the Group’s strategy was to maintain the financial ratios in compliance with the financial covenants under the bank facility agreement and it was not subject to any external regulatory requirements.

27. R ISK ANALYSIS, SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS, AND FAIR VALUE FOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: -- Credit risk -- Liquidity risk -- Interest rate risk -- Foreign currency risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks and their sources, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risks and etc. The Group aims to seek the appropriate balance between the risks and benefits from its use of financial instruments and to mitigate the adverse effects that the risks of financial instruments have on the Group’s financial performance. Based on such objectives, the Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The internaI audit department of the Group undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures. 1. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash at bank, loans and advances to customers and other receivables. Exposure to these credit risks are monitored by management on an ongoing basis. The cash at bank of the Group is mainly heId with reputable financial institutions. Management does not foresee any significant credit risks from these deposits and does not expect that these financial institutions may default and cause losses to the Group. In respect of identifying, assessing and managing credit risks of loans and advances to customers and other receivables, the Group has established a system structure, credit policy and procedures to control credit risk positions. Individual credit evaluations are performed to set related credit facility and period, based on the customers’ financial position, possibility of guarantee from a third party, external credit records and other factors such as current market information. The

42

Group monitors customer credit risk on an ongoing basis in order to ensure credit risk as a whole is under control. The overdue period of loans and advances that are past due but not impaired based on individual or collective assessement is set out as follows: Overdue within 30 days (including 30 days)

2012

2011

404,210

279,825

Past due but not impaired loans and advances are those for which contractual interest or principal payements are past due, but the Group believes that impairment is not appropriate on the basis of the stage of collection of amunts owed to the Group. Loans and advances of the Group that are neither past due nor impaired mainly relate to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default. As the Group operates primarily in Sichuan Province of the PRC, there exists a celiain level of geographical concentration risk for its loan and advances to customers in that it might be affected by changes in the local economic conditions.


Financial Statements In addition to the geographical concentration risk, the Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the Indlvidual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk arise primarily when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. The Group did not have any significant exposure to individual customers. As at 31 December 2012,0.82% (31 December 2011: 0.77%) ofloans and advances were to the Group’s five largest customers.

Carrying amount

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. The Group does not provide any other guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.

cover expected cash demands. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

2. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

The following are the Group’s and the Company’s contractual maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are based on contractual cash flows (including estimated interest payments) and the earliest date the Group or the Company can be required to pay:

Financial Statements 3. Interest rate risk Interest-bearing financial instruments at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest risk, respectively. a. At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s and the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments was as follows:

b. Sensitivity analysis Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Therefore a change in interest rates at the repoliing date would not affect profit or loss or net equity. ■■

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased or increased profit or loss by HKD 372,235 or HKD 428,086, respectively (2011: increased or decreased by HKD 489,716 or HKD 231,202, respectively). This analysis assumes that aIl other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. ln respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held by the Group at the reporting date, the impact on the net profit and equity is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. This analysis is performed on the same basis for the previous year. ■■

4. Foreign currency risk In respect of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency, the Group ensures that

MicroCred China / Annual Report 2012

its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances, a. As at 31 December, the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to currency risk arising from recognised assets or liabilities denominated in a cunency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate is presented in the following tables. For presentation purposes, the amounts of the exposure are shown in Hong Kong dollar, translated using the spot rate at the reporting date. Differences resulting from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into the Group’s presentation currency are excluded. 2012 EUR

c. Sensitivity analysis Assuming ail other risk variables remained constant, a 1% strengthening of the Hong Kong dollar against the EUR and RMB at 31 December would have increased the Group’s net profit by the amount shown below, whose effect is in Hong Kong dollar and translated using the spot rate at the year-end date: 2012

(62,164)

A 1% weakening of the Hong Kong dollar against the EUR and RMB at 31 December would have had the equal but opposite effect on them to the amounts shown above, on the basis that ail other variables remained constant. The sensitivity analysis above assumes that the change in foreign exchange rates had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Group which expose the Group to foreign currency risk at the reporting date. 5. Fair values The Group’s and the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are ail carried at cost or amortised cost. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are not materially different from their fair values as at the end of the year.
