Annual Report 2010<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret”
Message from Chairman<br />
The year 2010 was very<br />
satisfactory in many<br />
respects for Amret. After<br />
a 3.5% contraction of<br />
its loan portfolio in<br />
2009, the credit activity<br />
rebounded in 2010.<br />
In particular, individual<br />
loans, which volume<br />
grew by about 51%<br />
over the year and now<br />
account for about 43% of Amret’s Gross Loan Portfolio,<br />
have met a very strong demand. In the meantime, the<br />
quality of the loan portfolio improved very significantly<br />
with PAR 30 settling back to pre-crisis levels. Deposit<br />
collection, for which Amret had received a license from<br />
the National Bank of Cambodia during the course of 2009,<br />
also performed very well in 2010. As at 31 December<br />
2010, Amret had been entrusted with the equivalent of<br />
USD 15.2 million from 18,660 depositors. This success is a<br />
great source of satisfaction, given the strategic importance<br />
of saving collection, both to reduce the institution’s<br />
dependency to external loans and to increase its outreach.<br />
We are confident that Amret will do even better in the<br />
future, especially in collecting savings in rural areas. The<br />
combination of the performances registered on the credit<br />
and deposit activities resulted in a significant improvement<br />
of the profitability of the company. Amret posted a KHR<br />
20.03 billion net profit in 2010, up from KHR 13.67 billion<br />
in 2009. Such achievements were made possible by<br />
the expansion of Amret’s branch network. Four additional<br />
outlets were opened in 2010, two of which are located<br />
in Battambang province, which became the 15 th province<br />
covered by the network.<br />
The governance of a microfinance institution such as<br />
Amret requires an acute perception of the macro-economic<br />
environment in which it operates. In 2010, the Cambodian<br />
economy eventually resumed its expansion after suffering<br />
harsh consequences of the international economic<br />
downturn in 2009. According to the IMF, the economic<br />
output grew by an estimated 4.7% in 2010 and is<br />
expected to further expand by 6.8% in 2011. The shortage<br />
of credit, which had hampered long-term investments in<br />
2009, came to an end in 2010, as evidenced by a 10%<br />
growth of the volume of domestic credit registered over<br />
the year. The Cambodian informal and semi-formal<br />
sector, which constitutes the core market of microfinance<br />
institutions such as Amret, also recovered its dynamism<br />
and the demand for credit consequently picked-up in the<br />
second semester of 2010, during which the Cambodia<br />
Microfinance Association registered a 24% increase of the<br />
aggregated loan portfolio of its members. In this context<br />
of strong growth, the risk of over indebtedness should<br />
not be underestimated. Experience from other countries<br />
where aggressive sale practices and insufficient credit<br />
worthiness assessment have put the entire microfinance<br />
sector in jeopardy must be born in mind. In order to<br />
minimize these risks, Amret is collaborating with its peers<br />
and the National Bank of Cambodia towards the inception<br />
of a credit bureau, and hopes these efforts will materialize<br />
in 2011.<br />
In 2011, Amret will aim at consolidating its position<br />
as a leading deposit taking microfinance institution in<br />
Cambodia. This objective will be achieved by further<br />
strengthening the credit methodology to maintain the<br />
quality of the portfolio, and by intensifying efforts to attract<br />
deposits, especially in rural areas. In terms of geographical<br />
coverage, Amret intends to expand to more remote areas,<br />
where competition is less intense and unmet demand<br />
for financial services more abundant. These objectives<br />
are fully consistent with Amret strategy, which consists<br />
in becoming the leading provider of financial services to<br />
the agricultural sector and to small and medium-scale<br />
enterprises in rural areas.<br />
Finally, I take the opportunity of this publication to<br />
congratulate the management and the staff of Amret in<br />
the name of the Board of Directors for their commitment<br />
along the year which contributed to Amret very good<br />
performances in 2010.<br />

Amret, as a leading microfinance institution in Cambodia, was formerly known as “EMT”.<br />
Its historical background is as follows:<br />
1991: GRET, a French NGO, sets up an experimental project to deliver microcredit to the<br />
rural population of Cambodia. The first experimental phase (EXPE I) is launched, with<br />
a single financial product known as Solidarity Credit (SC).<br />

Annual Report 2010<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret”
Notes from GENERAL MANAGER<br />
The impact of economic<br />
crisis in 2009-<br />
2010 had been passed<br />
around 2 nd quarter<br />
2010. From that<br />
period, we noticed<br />
that the economic<br />
activities had been<br />
recovered in the<br />
country. Consistently<br />
to the positive economic<br />
growth, Microfinance had returned fast its role<br />
to contribute the economic development. Practically,<br />
the average loan portfolio growth in the sector<br />
was 22% that made loan outstanding increased<br />
from KHR 221,570 million equivalent to US$ 53.15<br />
million in 2009 to KHR 270,119 million equivalent<br />
to US$ 66.65 million in 2010 while saving collection<br />
had shown a significant increase which was from<br />
US$3 million in 2009 to US$15 million in 2010.<br />
This shows that public is more confident on<br />
Microfinance and gets to use bank and microfinance<br />
services. At the meantime, we have a concern of<br />
competition which is increasing rapidly as each<br />
MFI increases a big growth rate and entrance of<br />
7 new comers in year 2010 (totally, 25 licensed<br />
MFIs by Dec 2010). However, with lesson learned<br />
in year 2009 and 2010, MFI stakeholders have<br />
paid attention to the negative impact which may<br />
happen again so that we are committed to set up<br />
Credit Bureau, which is estimated to function in<br />
year 2011, and Microfinance Association reinforced<br />
the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among<br />
its members to avoid negative impact to the<br />
sector, especially standing at a corner of the client<br />
protection.<br />
After the crisis, Amret started to grow mainly in<br />
second semester of the year. Practically, we have<br />
loan portfolio growth at 22% at the end of 2010<br />
compared to loan outstanding by December 2009.<br />
With a defensive strategy of prudential growth,<br />
portfolio quality of Amret remarkably improved<br />
which indicated by portfolio at risk (PAR) 30 days<br />
evolved from 3.71% by end of year 2009 to 0.63%<br />
by end of year 2010. The PAR improvement is due<br />
to good quality of new loan disbursed since year<br />
2009 and 2010, and it impacted from partly write<br />
off 2.2%. Meanwhile, we still maintained a good<br />
market share in term of number of loan clients of<br />
238,535 which is 27.5% among the 25 licensed<br />
MFIs and Acleda bank in our 15 operating provinces.<br />
To be along with loan portfolio growth, we still<br />
continued a prioritized strategy to mobilize saving.<br />
After a roll out of saving service last year, the<br />
saving amount has increased to US$ 15 million<br />
that rose 500% comparing to saving amount by<br />
the end of 2009. To fuel the long term saving and<br />
to satisfy customers, Amret introduced and test<br />
Inter-branch Money transfer in all branches and<br />
furnished commercial staff with crossed selling<br />
skills.<br />
Standing in a recovered economic context, we<br />
achieved a good level of profitability in which we<br />
gained KHR 20,026 million, equivalent to US$ 4.94<br />
million, an increase of 46.45% compared to 2009<br />
(KHR 13,674 million around US$ 3.28 million), in<br />
which RoAA is 6.4% and RoAE is 25.1%.<br />
To finance our growth, we still face an issue to raise<br />
funds in the local currency because most of microentrepreneurs<br />
want to borrow loan in local currency<br />
due to their cash flow is in the same currency. For<br />
a solution, Amret still keeps a back-to-back system<br />
with Central Bank (NBC) and Foreign Trade Bank<br />
of Cambodia. Positively, we note that there are<br />
more Foreign Financial institutions could lend us<br />
directly loans in local currency such as Oikocredit,<br />
Hivos Triodos Fonds and Triodos Doen, FMO and<br />
Norfund. However, the supply of financial resource<br />
in local currency still less than demands. Therefore,<br />
the increasing move to lend in US Dollars is an<br />
adapted strategy for growth; especially for loan in<br />
big amount.<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret” Annual Report 2010 8
Furthermore, Amret had reformed our Organizational<br />
Chart by establishing a new department,<br />
called Credit Department that will responsible<br />
to develop and to support Credit products and<br />
technical support to commercial staff. Meanwhile,<br />
we also reformed Management committees such<br />
as ALCO, Risk Management committee, Credit Risk<br />
committee under supervision of Board committee<br />
which is called Risk Oversight committee to be<br />
complied with New Prakas of Internal Control issued<br />
by Central Bank. In the project of Core Banking<br />
System, we had nearly completed 2 nd stage which is<br />
software selection and we will start implementation<br />
next year.<br />
To maintain and improve creditability and transparency,<br />
Amret was inspected by Central bank<br />
regularly and was rate on Financial performance<br />
by M-Cril, an Indian Rating Company recognized by<br />
CGAP, in November 2010, and it was graded ,<br />
specifying that it has “strong capacity to meet its<br />
financial obligations, very good operations, stable<br />
even if it could be affected by major internal and<br />
external events”.<br />
With the aforementioned achievement, transparency<br />
and a prospective environment, Amret<br />
will prudentially grow in the following years.<br />
Accompanied by ambitious objectives, we are<br />
challenging to mobilize savings, to diversify other<br />
financial services in existing and new operating<br />
areas, and maintaining good portfolio quality in the<br />
following years. However, we are quite optimistic<br />
that we will achieve and overcome those challenges<br />
thanks to the adaptable strategies with our strong<br />
team commitment of staff, managers and the Board<br />
of Directors.<br />
At last, we would like to sincerely thank all clients,<br />
creditors, suppliers, donors, local authorities,<br />
governmental institutions, staff and management,<br />
the board of directors and other stakeholders who<br />
have been supporting us so far to achieve the<br />
outstanding goals.<br />

Business Management Review<br />
1- Political and Economic Environment<br />
in 2010<br />
In 2010, Cambodia’s economy has been recovering<br />
following a difficult post-economic crisis period in<br />
2009. Before the crisis, the country experienced to<br />
enjoy its average annual economic growth of 10.2%<br />
from 2005 to 2008 before slightly grow at the rate<br />
of 0.1% in 2009 when Cambodia was strongly hit<br />
by world financial crisis. Being highly reliant on<br />
world economy, Cambodia’s economy has started<br />
recovering in 2010 in line with global economic<br />
recovery. The economic grew at the rate of 5.5% in<br />
2010 due to rebound in agriculture, agro-industry,<br />
garment, and tourism sector which are the main<br />
pillars driving economic growth. Gross GDP is about<br />
US$ 11,315 million and per capital income is US$<br />
788 in 2010.<br />
Inflation was at moderate and manageable level-<br />
3.1% in December 2010 over December 2009. The<br />
annual inflation is estimated to be about 4% in 2010.<br />
The Riel exchange rate was remarkably fluctuated<br />
within the year- sharply depreciated in the mid-year<br />
to be 4,241 Riels per US$ and instantly appreciate<br />
back to be 4,050 Riels per US$ at the end of the<br />
year. The fall and rise of Riel’s value was mainly<br />
resulted from seasonal fluctuation and instability<br />
of US$’s value. Cambodia’s financial and banking<br />
sector remains strong and healthy. Liquidity in<br />
the banking sector has increased, due to increase<br />
deposit faster than credit allocation for economic<br />
activities. The sector’s development has supported<br />
the economic growth in all areas of the Kingdom.<br />
Agriculture grew continuously even during and<br />
after the crisis. In 2010, the sector grew by<br />
4.5% due to high priority given by the Royal<br />
Government of Cambodia to grow the sector. The<br />
rice export increased by around 45% in 2010 over<br />
the corresponding period in 2009, benefited from<br />
the recent rice production and export promotion<br />
policy of the government. Manufacturing and agroindustry<br />
sectors continue to grow. The garment<br />
sector which was severely affected by the 2009<br />
crisis grew by approximately 30% in 2010. Tourism<br />
sector also has a high potential for growth. The<br />
tourist arrivals in Cambodia increased by 16% to be<br />
2.5 million tourists in 2010.<br />
Along with the world economic recovery, Cambodia<br />
economy is expected to further accelerate in<br />
2011. The government, international development<br />
agencies and research institutes forecast the<br />
economic growth within the range from 6% to 7%.<br />
The better economic performance in 2011 is driven<br />
by an improvement of paddy sector, a significant<br />
recovery of garment industry, a continued growth<br />
momentum in the agro-industry, and enhanced<br />
performance in the service sector.<br />

2- Financial Sector Developments<br />
The number of licensed MFIs has now reached 25,<br />
up from 20 in 2009. By the end of 2010, total lending<br />
and the number of clients from the kingdom’s 25<br />
microfinance institutions increased dramatically by<br />
40% and 21% respectively, compared to year end<br />
2009.<br />
In addition, the number of portfolios deemed at-risk<br />
and non-performing loans of the industry decreased<br />
to 1.07%, down from 2.85% in 2009.<br />
Besides loan products, some MFIs are pushing<br />
savings to finance their growth as the number of<br />
Microfinance Taking Deposit is increasing. Since the<br />
beginning of 2009, there have been five Microfinance<br />
Institutions that have received a license for taking<br />
deposits (two in 2009 and 3 in 2010), and a few<br />
other MFIs are proposing to do so to National Bank<br />
of Cambodia. Looking at the deposit side, from the<br />
total deposit outstanding, 171 billion Riels ( US$ 42<br />
million) had been collected from 240,153 depositors<br />
by the end of 2010 which represents four times and<br />
43% increase respectively from 2009.<br />
The financial sector suffered a severe setback<br />
during the height of the crisis in 2009. However, by<br />
the middle of 2010 the business activity came back<br />
strongly with a signal of an improving domestic<br />
economy. Having somewhat recovered from the<br />
crisis, the portfolio quality of MFIs had noticeably<br />
become better, and an over liquidity situation is no<br />
longer a challenge for those institutions as in 2009,<br />
which was the time the interest rate of those MFIs<br />
had been reduced to ease the disbursement and<br />
attract good clients.<br />

3- Lending Performance<br />
Amret has been delivering comprehensive credit<br />
packages, including solidarity credit (joint-liability<br />
group loan) and individual credit (business loan,<br />
consumption loan and home improvement loan)<br />
that are specifically tailored to the needs of people<br />
around the country for a better and more secure<br />
future.<br />
Loan<br />
During 2010, Amret disbursed a total of 263,309<br />
loans for KHR 332,427 million (US$ 82.02 million)<br />
up from 241,507 loans and KHR 265,398 million<br />
(US$ 63.66 million) last year, or growth 9.03% and<br />
28.84% respectively. The reasons behind this are<br />
the commitment of our staff to achieve company<br />
targets, the good economic condition of Cambodia<br />
(recovery from the recession in mid 2010), and the<br />
product features of the loan like repayment method,<br />
place to receive and to repay loan, duration of the<br />
loan and the simplicity of our service to clients.<br />

5- Other Financial Products and Service<br />
Bio-digester loan:<br />
By 2009, Amret has cooperated with National<br />
Bio-digester Program (NBP), is a joint program<br />
between MAFF and Netherlands Development<br />
Organization (SNV), to contribute in a sustainable<br />
rural development program in order to reinforce<br />
an establishment of permanent and clean energy<br />
sources in the rural communities of Cambodia.<br />
A household bio-digester loan is designed to<br />
particularly target a specific group of household<br />
who need loans for improving household condition<br />
through a creation of substitution of conventional<br />
fuel sources (fuel wood, charcoal, kerosene, battery<br />
charging), creating additional production of organic<br />
fertilizer for fish feed or agricultural production,<br />
improving health and hygiene due to reduced<br />
indoor air pollution and better waste management<br />
of dung and human waste, and reducing workload<br />
for women in 2-3 hours per day.<br />
Domestic Transfer:<br />
By July 2010, Inter-Branch Money Transfer started<br />
its pilot test with 17 selected branches including 1<br />
branch in Phnom Penh and another 16 branches in<br />
the 4 provinces of Kampong Cham, Kampot, Prey<br />
Veng, and Svay Rieng.<br />
As a result by Dec 2010, Amret had a total of 690<br />
transactions, and the amount to be transferred was<br />
US$ 256,020.<br />
In order to meet customer demand within the current<br />
market, Inter-Branch Money Transfer services will<br />
be rolled-out faster with all Amret branches by the<br />
end of Feb 2011.<br />
Transfer Performance in 2010 (Jul-Dec)<br />
The target group of bio-digester loans are the low or<br />
middle income households who are residing in the<br />
villages, districts or provincial towns, and having at<br />
least 2 adult cows or 6 pigs or be able to collect<br />
excrement of animal 20Kg per day.<br />

Risk Management<br />
1- Organization to Face Risk<br />
v Risk Management and Compliance Department<br />
At the end of year 2009, the Risk Management<br />
and Compliance Department (RCD) was created<br />
for responding to growth, new challenges and<br />
risks. The goal of RCD is to minimize risks for<br />
long-term business activities by strengthening<br />
the Internal Control capacity and its implementation<br />
to identify and anticipate potential<br />
risks to avoid any unexpected loss.<br />
To achieve this goal, many practical tools were<br />
developed and followed-up by three Units,<br />
namely, Operational Risk Unit, Credit Risk Unit,<br />
and Com-pliance Unit.<br />
Besides creating a new department, Amret has<br />
two other main committees to play important<br />
roles in minimizing business risks. Those<br />
committees are the Risk Management Committee<br />
and Asset Liability Committee.<br />
v Risk Management Committee<br />
The Risk Management Committee was established<br />
in 2003. The Risk Management Committee<br />
focuses on general risks such as Operations,<br />
Information Technology, Personnel, Strategy,<br />
Finance, Environment, and Communications.<br />
1- One director from Board (Mr. Christian BARON)<br />
as Chairperson<br />
2- General Manager as Member<br />
3- Chief Operations Officer Member<br />
4- All Heads of Departments as Members<br />
The committee met two times during the year 2010<br />
– in June and December, to identify any risks and<br />
prepare action plans to reduce them. Significant<br />
risks are highlighted to the Board of Directors<br />
depending on their likelihood and impact to Amret<br />
by the chairman of this committee.<br />
The Risk Management Committee concluded<br />
that, as a result of the risk mitigation strategies<br />
implemented by management and BoD, the level of<br />
risks was kept low and controlled.<br />
v ALCO Committee<br />
As financial risk become more and more important,<br />
the Asset and Liability Management Committee was<br />
set up in 2008. The purpose of Amret’s ALCO is to<br />
monitor and advise on balance sheet management<br />
to optimize return whilst ensuring that appropriate<br />
levels of liquidity are maintained and that the<br />
institution is not exposed to undue levels of interest<br />
rate and capital risk.<br />
The committee comprises of the following members:<br />
1. Board Member (Mr. Steven Duchatelle)<br />
Chairman<br />
2. Board Member (Mrs. Marjorie Marasigan)<br />
Member<br />
3. General Manager Member<br />
4. Chief Operations Officer Member<br />
5. Head of Finance Member<br />
6. Head of Risk Management and Compliance<br />
Member<br />
7. Head of Internal Audit Observer<br />
8. Deputy Head of Finance Member<br />
9. Treasury Manager Member<br />
10. Economic Analyst Observer<br />
11. Secretary to ALCO, Asset and Liability<br />
Management Officer Secretary<br />
The Committee meets every month at management<br />
level, excluding two board members, and chaired<br />
by the General Manager, and four times a year at<br />
Board level.<br />
v Audit Committee<br />
The mission of the Audit Committee is to ensure the<br />
effectiveness and efficiency of internal audit tasks<br />
and the internal control system, and ensure the<br />
adequacy of reporting and decision tools.<br />
The committee comprises of:<br />
q Board director, Mr. Adriaan Van der Pol<br />
as Chairperson,<br />
q Board director, Mr. Christian Baron<br />
as Deputy Chairperson,<br />
q General Manager as observer, and<br />
q Head of Internal Audit as reporter<br />

Annual Report 2010<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret”
The Audit Committee meets quarterly a year. The<br />
Internal Audit Department reports to the committee<br />
on finding issues for the year and provides<br />
recommendations for improvement. The Audit<br />
Committee approved an internal audit plan for<br />
2011 in December 2010.<br />
2- Credit Risk<br />
Portfolio at Risk (PAR>30) takes into account the<br />
value of all loans outstanding that have one or<br />
more installments of principal or interest past due<br />
more than 30 days. This item includes the entire<br />
unpaid principal balance, including both past due<br />
and future installments.<br />
The overall performance of the portfolio quality is<br />
improving in 2010. PAR has decreased from 3.71%<br />
in December 2009 to 0.63% in December 2010.<br />
The non-performing loan rate is improving in all<br />
provincial offices where it had deteriorated in 2009.<br />
The major reasons behind the good quality of the<br />
portfolio are both internal and external factors.<br />
The increase in employment, business activities<br />
and income generation during 2010 economic<br />
recovery has been a favorable factor concerning<br />
the repayment capacity of the clients. At the same<br />
time, to improve portfolio quality, management<br />
has strengthened training methodology to new<br />
credit agents, and improved loan assessment<br />
methodology and credit policy in Amret as a whole.<br />
One bad loan recovery unit and a committee were<br />
set up to deal with delinquency problems.<br />

3- Financial Risk<br />
Amret has large exposure of liability in US$ and<br />
uses back-to-back mechanisms to hedge the<br />
foreign exchange risk. Amret intends to decrease<br />
the currency mismatch through development of<br />
deposits in local currency, increasing its borrowing<br />
capacity in local currency as well as increasing<br />
lending in US$ for large loans.<br />
In terms of liquidity, the prudent stance on loan<br />
disbursement has led Amret to engage in active<br />
liquidity management to avoid possible overliquidity.<br />
In line with deposit growth, Amret is<br />
strictly taking action on liquidity management by<br />
establishing a back-up fund facility and liquidity<br />
contingency plan.<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret” Annual Report 2010 18
4- Compliance Risk<br />
Amret has recently made some major changes in<br />
both its organization and structure to support the<br />
growth and maintain the momentum.<br />
The Risk Management Department created a<br />
Compliance Unit to be in charge of anti-money<br />
laundering and combating the financing of<br />
terrorist activities. It is responsible for ensuring all<br />
Amret’s Operations activities comply with internal<br />
policies and procedures, and national regulations.<br />
Moreover, it is also responsible for conducting a<br />
regular compliance check on prudential ratios and<br />
covenants of donors, creditors and shareholders.<br />
5- Rating<br />
Amret had contracted with several Rating Agencies<br />
for doing credit ratings that were implemented by<br />
Microfinanza from Italy and M-Cril from India. This<br />
assignment was done in the fourth quarter of the<br />
years 2008, 2009, and 2010.<br />
Amret obtained rating grade A for the years 2007<br />
and 2008 rated by Microfinanza, meaning that the<br />
company has a strong capacity to meet its financial<br />
obligations, has very good operations, and is stable<br />
even if it were to be affected by major internal or<br />
external events.<br />
In year 2009 and 2010, Amret contracted with<br />
M-Cril for Credit Rating and obtained the same grade<br />
for both years, α−, meaning that the company is<br />
reasonably safe and has good systems.<br />
In conclusion, Amret has obtained the same grade<br />
for the financial rating for the last four years, 2007-<br />
2010<br />
Moreover, in year 2010, Amret also contracted<br />

Amret Staff<br />
The number of Amret staff gradually grew to 1,288<br />
staff members in 2010 from 964 in 2009.<br />
At the end of 2010, there are 358 female staff<br />
members, or 27.8 percent of the total staff.<br />
Capacity Development<br />
Since capacity development plays an important role<br />
in strengthening staff to ensure working quality<br />
in Amret, the Training Secretariat has organized<br />
training for newly recruited staff on Amret’s basic<br />
products and financial services. Amret also provides<br />
training to existing staff ranging from the Generalized<br />
Credit Agent to Provincial Manager on inception<br />
training, coaching, refresher training and promotional<br />
training programs.<br />
Besides internal training within the company, each<br />
staff member is also given an opportunity to attend<br />
a short course or degree program. There were 94<br />
training courses conducted during the year for<br />
many staff. The training courses are related to<br />
financial management, retail banking, management,<br />
leadership, practical auditing and so on.<br />
The staff turnover in 2010 is stable and recorded<br />
at an acceptable rate of 8.4 percent, while it was<br />
8 per cent in 2009 and 11.7 percent in 2008.<br />
To be competitive with the labor market, the existing<br />
human resource policies and procedures has been<br />
improved such as Performance Appraisal, Incentive<br />
Package, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)<br />
Amret also sends some managers and staff on<br />
study tours to learn best practices of microfinance<br />
and banking from other well-experienced countries.<br />
In order to strengthen relationships with other<br />
institutions, Amret has also its own International<br />
Visiting Program (IVP) to share experiences with<br />
other international visitors from various institutions.<br />
As result, in 2010, there were several groups from<br />
Laos, Germany, Japan, and Vietnam.<br />

social & Environmental Responsibility<br />
In line with our vision, Amret contributes to respect<br />
for the Social and Environmental welfare both<br />
internally and externally; hence, leading to sustainable<br />
private sector development which stimulates the<br />
sustainable economic growth of the country.<br />
Amret is committed to providing healthy and<br />
sustainable financial services, while enhancing the<br />
environmental and social ethics toward our clients,<br />
staff and community.<br />
v Amret has developed the Social and Environmental<br />
policy which is to offer a guideline that<br />
Amret can implement to minimize the negative<br />
impacts on the society and environment.<br />
v Loan for Bio-digester is another program serving<br />
the reduction of deforestation, natural resource<br />
degradation and greenhouse gas emissions -<br />
methane (CH4), causing the global warming.<br />
On top of that the waste from the process biodigester<br />
energy can be used to fertilize soil that<br />
helps the farmer households’ economy as well.<br />
In 2010, Amret disbursed a total of 671 loans<br />
for Bio-digester for a total of US$ 359,257 with<br />
226 females who led and used renewal energy<br />
to reduce GHG emission.<br />
v We conduct courses for raising awareness of<br />
social and environmental concepts for all<br />
newly recruited and existing staff, both at<br />
headquarters and branches, aimed at upgrading<br />
their knowledge of society and environment<br />
risk/impact. The courses include useful topics<br />
such as usage of paper and water, energy<br />
consumption, waste management, health and<br />
safety working practices, Social Performance<br />
Management (SPM), and E&S aspects which<br />
are relevant to MFI’s activities.<br />
Social ethics is another issue of concern in addition<br />
to the environment. Amret enforces social ethical<br />
practice within our organization from the management<br />
to the staff level. To maintain this practice, Amret<br />
rigorously adopts key principles such as:<br />
v<br />
v<br />

Amret has a corporate culture, Anti-Money<br />
Laundering (AML) policy and Human Resource<br />
Management policies including Internal Rule,<br />

Salary Policy, Incentive Policy, Provident Fund<br />
Policy, Performance Appraisal Policy, Insurance<br />
Policy, Recruitment Policy, Internship Policy,<br />
and Sexual Harassment Policy to ensure all<br />
staff are treated fairly, and to enforce a common<br />
relationship among staff as well as toward clients<br />
and the community as a whole.<br />
Amret pays attention to health and safety of all<br />
staff. We have a full time nurse to provide<br />
first aid and medical treatment and to coordinate<br />
insurance claims for employees. All departments<br />
and branches are equipped with fire-fighting<br />
equipment and a fire hose. We trained our staff<br />
both in Head Office and branches to know how<br />
to use and to keep fire-fighting equipment<br />
safely.<br />
Amret has Shop Stewards elected by employees<br />
solely responsible for presenting to the employer<br />
and labor inspectors all complaints, criticisms<br />
and grievances; making sure that the provisions<br />
relating to health and safety of work are<br />
enforced; and suggesting measures that would<br />
be beneficial to contributing towards protecting<br />
and improving health, safety and working<br />
conditions.<br />
Rejecting discrimination against skin color,<br />
religion, sex, and political allegiances, and only<br />
focusing on their competence and morals,<br />
Amret provides equal opportunities to staff and<br />
public to apply for new and high positions in<br />
Amret. On top of that Amret is promoting<br />
gender equality by setting a target number of<br />
female staff to be selected per year to be in<br />
balance with male staff number.<br />

v As part of social responsibility toward<br />
communities, we participated in charity<br />
programs such as offering financing and gifts<br />
in kind to national events such as the<br />
Water Festival, Red Cross, Krousar Thmei, PSE<br />
organization, and cooperation with SIPAR, a<br />
French NGO that has set up and developed<br />
programs in the field of education in Cambodia<br />
for 20 years, focusing on literacy and library<br />
services for both the formal and non-formal<br />
education sector. Amret provided 41 group<br />
and 15 individual internships for thesis<br />
research, and supported 64 volunteers (45<br />
female and 19 male) who were students<br />
from various domestic universities and academic<br />
institutions as well as international organizations<br />
to learn and to get real practical experience<br />
from the institution.<br />
v<br />
Amret has always been responsive to changing<br />
market demand and has prioritized the needs<br />
of clients while refining existing products or<br />
developing new products. In responding to<br />
this, Amret regularly conducts some survey<br />
projects such as client satisfaction surveys and<br />
exit surveys to follow up the evolution of client<br />
need as well as to identify complaints from<br />
clients, and to find out the reason why clients<br />
left Amret. As part of our social responsibility<br />
toward clients, we have diversified more<br />
products to respond to clients’ needs; in practice,<br />
we offer saving, money transfer and money<br />
exchange for existing clients. We joined a<br />
World Bank project to offer financial services to<br />
SME Agriculture.<br />

Our Clients<br />
Trying hard will achieve results one day. It is a<br />
saying that emerges from one family in Svay<br />
Village, Rokar Commune, Kandal Steung District,<br />
Kandal Province. Mrs. Sao Laiy, 51 years old and<br />
her husband Mr. Moun Sokha, 52 years old, are<br />
parents of 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls. Their<br />
main occupation is farming, and they have a few<br />
small irregular substitution business activities. With<br />
support from Amret for years, her family’s living<br />
standard has strongly improved.<br />
In 1993, her family joined a liability group from<br />
Amret to access a micro-loan of KHR 200,000 in<br />
order to buy fertilizer for farming. By having a clear<br />
business plan, her family seems to be successful<br />
with the business and she continued onto the<br />
second cycle of the loan of KHR 500,000 in order<br />
to buy fertilizer for a hectare of farm land, and to<br />
buy a machine for offering battery charging service<br />
to generate more income. With this fruitful process,<br />
she started to increase the loan amount up to KHR<br />
1,000,000 in the third cycle to start up their new<br />
business by purchasing equipment such as tables,<br />
chairs, utensils and so on, for offering hiring service.<br />
Currently she is borrowing an individual loan of US$<br />
500. Furthermore, she stated that she can save<br />
approximately KHR 10 million per annum.<br />
As result of their clear business plan, industry,<br />
and high commitment, as well as the support from<br />
Amret, the family has become the outstanding<br />
farmer and small entrepreneur in the village.<br />
Currently, her family owns three machines (one for<br />
battery charging and another two for hiring service),<br />
a truck, a motorbike, and a new appropriate house.<br />
Her oldest son and daughter have been married,<br />
the third daughter is running her own business as a<br />
tailor, the fourth and the youngest children are sent<br />
to high school, grade 11 and grade 9. She added<br />
that she planned for her children to have access<br />
to schooling in order to gain higher education,<br />
Bachelor or Master Degree.<br />

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
The Board of Directors of Amret Co., Ltd. (“the<br />
Company” or “Amret”) is pleased to present its<br />
report and the Company’s financial statements as<br />
at and for the year ended 31 December 2010.<br />
THE COMPANY<br />
Amret was initially established in 1991 as an<br />
experimental project by the French NGO Groupe de<br />
Recherche et d’ Echanges Technologiques (“GRET”).<br />
All assets, liabilities and reserves of the Project<br />
were transferred to Amret on 1 July 2000.<br />
The Company has become a licensed micro-finance<br />
institution (“MFI”) after being duly registered with<br />
the Ministry of Commerce as a private limited liability<br />
company under registration number Co. 820/00E<br />
dated 10 July 2000. In 2001, Amret received its first<br />
MFI license from the National Bank of Cambodia.<br />
On 27 April 2007, the National Bank of Cambodia<br />
(“NBC”) renewed its license to conduct microfinance<br />
business for an indefinite period following<br />
NBC Prakas B7-06-209 dated 13 September 2006.<br />
On 22 January 2009, NBC also granted Amret the<br />
license to become a micro-finance deposit-taking<br />
institution.<br />
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND DIVIDENDS<br />
The net profit for the year ended 31 December 2010<br />
was KHR20,025 million (2009: KHR13,675 million).<br />
On 21 June 2010, the Board of Directors declared<br />
dividends amounting to KHR2,051 million representing<br />
15% of 2009 net profit of KHR13,675<br />
million.<br />
RESERVES AND PROVISIONS<br />
There were no material movements to or from<br />
reserves and provisions during the year other than<br />
those disclosed in the financial statements.<br />
BAD AND DOUBTFUL LOANS<br />
Before the financial statements of the Company<br />
were drawn up, the directors took reasonable steps<br />
to ascertain that action had been taken in relation<br />
to the writing off of bad loans and the making of<br />
provisions for bad and doubtful loans, and satisfied<br />
themselves that all known bad loans had been<br />
written off and that adequate provisions had been<br />
made for bad and doubtful loans.<br />
At the date of this report, the directors are not<br />
aware of any circumstances which would render<br />
the amount written off for bad loans or the amount<br />
of the provision for bad and doubtful loans in the<br />
financial statements of the Company inadequate to<br />
any material extent.<br />
CURRENT ASSETS<br />
Before the financial statements of the Company<br />
were drawn up, the directors took reasonable steps<br />
to ascertain that any current assets, other than<br />
loans, which were unlikely to be realized in the<br />
ordinary course of business at their value as shown<br />
in the accounting records of the Company, have<br />
been written down to an amount which they might<br />
be expected to realize.<br />
At the date of this report, the directors are not<br />
aware of any circumstances which would render<br />
the values attributed to the current assets in the<br />
financial statements of the Company misleading in<br />
any material respect.<br />
VALUATION METHODS<br />
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware<br />
of any circumstances that have arisen which would<br />
render adherence to the existing method of valuation<br />
of assets and liabilities in the financial statements<br />
of the Company misleading or inappropriate in any<br />
material respect.<br />
CONTINGENT AND OTHER LIABILITIES<br />
At the date of this report, there is:<br />
v no charge on the assets of the Company which<br />
has arisen since the end of the financial year<br />
which secures the liabilities of any other person;<br />
and<br />

Microfinance Institution “Amret”
v no contingent liability in respect of the Company<br />
that has arisen since the end of the financial<br />
year other than in the ordinary course of microfinance<br />
business.<br />
No contingent or other liabilities of the Company<br />
have become enforceable, or is likely to become<br />
enforceable within the period of twelve months after<br />
the end of the financial period which, in the opinion<br />
of the directors, will or may have a material effect<br />
on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations<br />
as and when they become due.<br />
CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES<br />
At the date of this report, the Board of Directors is<br />
not aware of any circumstances, not otherwise dealt<br />
with in this report or the financial statements of the<br />
Company, which would render any amount stated in<br />
the financial statements misleading.<br />
ITEMS OF UNUSUAL NATURE<br />
The results of the operations of the Company for<br />
the financial period were not, in the opinion of the<br />
Board of Directors, substantially affected by any<br />
item, transaction or event of a material and unusual<br />
nature.<br />
There has not arisen in the interval between the end<br />
of the financial period and the date of this report<br />
any item, transaction or event of a material and<br />
unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Board of<br />
Directors, to affect substantially the results of the<br />
operations of the Company for the current financial<br />
period in which this report is made.<br />

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT<br />
Reference: 14444013-60777058<br />
To: The Shareholders and the Board of<br />
Directors of Amret Co., Ltd.<br />
We have audited the accompanying financial<br />
statements of Amret Co., Ltd. (“the Company”),<br />
which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December<br />
2010, the income statement, statement of changes<br />
in equity and statement of cash flows for the year<br />
then ended, and a summary of significant accounting<br />
policies and other explanatory information.<br />
Management’s responsibility for the<br />
financial statements<br />
The Company’s management is responsible for<br />
the preparation and fair presentation of these<br />
financial statements in accordance with Cambodian<br />
Accounting Standards and relevant regulations and<br />
guidelines issued by the National Bank of Cambodia,<br />
and for such internal control as management<br />
determines is necessary to enable the preparation<br />
of financial statements that are free from material<br />
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.<br />
Auditors’ responsibility<br />
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on<br />
these financial statements based on our audit. We<br />
conducted our audit in accordance with Cambodian<br />
International Standards on Auditing. Those standards<br />
require that we comply with ethical requirements<br />
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable<br />
assurance about whether the financial statements<br />
are free from material misstatement.<br />
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain<br />
audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures<br />
in the financial statements. The procedures selected<br />
depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the<br />
assessment of the risks of material misstatement<br />
of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or<br />
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors<br />
consider internal control relevant to the Company’s<br />
preparation and fair presentation of the financial<br />
statements in order to design audit procedures<br />
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not<br />
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the<br />
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An<br />
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness<br />
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness<br />
of accounting estimates made by the management,<br />
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the<br />
financial statements.<br />
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained<br />
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for<br />
our audit opinion.<br />
Opinion<br />
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true<br />
and fair view of the financial position of the Company<br />
as at 31 December 2010, and of its financial<br />
performance and cash flows for the year then<br />
ended in accordance with Cambodian Accounting<br />
Standards and relevant regulations and guidelines<br />
issued by the National Bank of Cambodia.<br />

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION<br />
Mr. Steven Duchatelle<br />
Director<br />
Amret Co., Ltd. (“the Company” or “Amret”), a licensed<br />
micro-finance institution (“MFI”), was incorporated<br />
and registered in the Kingdom of Cambodia.<br />
Establishment and operations<br />
Amret was initially established in 1991 as an<br />
experimental project by the French NGO Groupe de<br />
Recherche et d’ Echanges Technologiques (“GRET”).<br />
All assets, liabilities and reserves of the experimental<br />
project were transferred to Amret on 1 July 2000.<br />
The Company has become a licensed MFI after<br />
being duly registered with the Ministry of Commerce<br />
as a private limited liability company under registration<br />
number Co. 820/00E dated 10 July 2000.<br />
In 2001, Amret received its first MFI license from<br />
the National Bank of Cambodia (“NBC”). On 27 April<br />
2007, NBC renewed the license of the Company to<br />
conduct micro-finance business for an indefinite<br />
period following NBC Prakas B7-06-209 dated 13<br />
September 2006. On 22 January 2009, NBC also<br />
granted Amret the license to become a microfinance<br />
deposit-taking institution.<br />
The Company’s main activities are to provide microfinance<br />
services to the economically active low<br />
income population of Cambodia through its head<br />
office in Phnom Penh and its various branches in<br />
the Kingdom of Cambodia.<br />

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />
2.1 Basis of preparation<br />
The financial statements of the Company have been<br />
prepared on the historical cost basis. The financial<br />
statements are presented in Khmer Riel (“KHR”);<br />
and all values are rounded to the nearest KHR<br />
thousand, except when otherwise indicated.<br />
The Company maintains its records in KHR.<br />
Transactions in currencies other than KHR are<br />
translated into KHR at the exchange rate ruling at<br />
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and<br />
liabilities denominated in currencies other than KHR<br />
at the balance sheet date are translated into KHR at<br />
the rates of exchange ruling at that date. Exchange<br />
differences arising on translation are recognized in<br />
the income statement.<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret” Annual Report 2010 38
2.1.1 Presentation of financial statements<br />
The financial statements of the Company have been<br />
prepared in accordance with Cambodian Accounting<br />
Standards and relevant regulations and guidelines<br />
of NBC.<br />
The accompanying financial statements, including<br />
their utilization, are not designed for those who<br />
are not informed about the Kingdom of Cambodia’s<br />
accounting principles, procedures and practices<br />
and furthermore are not intended to present the<br />
financial position and results of operations and cash<br />
flows in accordance with accounting principles and<br />
practices generally accepted in countries other than<br />
the Kingdom of Cambodia.<br />
The accounting policies set out below have been<br />
consistently applied by the Company during the<br />
year.<br />
2.2 Significant accounting judgments<br />
and estimates<br />
In applying the Company’s accounting policies,<br />
management has used its judgment and made<br />
estimates in determining the amounts recognized<br />
in the financial statements, as follows:<br />
2.2.1 Impairment losses on loans and<br />
advances to customers<br />
When preparing the financial statements, the<br />
quality of loans and advances is reviewed and<br />
assessed to determine their classification and level<br />
of impairment losses (see Note 2.3.10.1).<br />
2.2.2 Retirement benefits<br />
Retirement benefits liability is determined under<br />
a defined benefit plan. The obligation is measured<br />
based on the service costs to reporting date (see<br />
Note 2.3.14).<br />
2.3 Summary of significant accounting<br />
Policies<br />
2.3.1 Foreign currency translation<br />
The Company’s functional and presentation currency<br />
is KHR.<br />
The translation of KHR into United States dollar<br />
(“US$”) is solely for management’s use only and is<br />
based on the closing exchange rate of KHR4,053 per<br />
US$1 ruling at the reporting date (2009: KHR4,169:<br />
US$1), as announced by NBC. Such translation<br />
should not be construed as a representation that<br />
the KHR amounts represent, or have been or could<br />
be, converted into US$ at that or any other rate.<br />
2.3.2 Financial instruments – initial<br />
recognition and subsequent<br />
measurement<br />
2.3.2.1 Initial recognition of financial<br />
instruments<br />
The classification of financial instruments at initial<br />
recognition depends on the purpose for which<br />
the financial instruments were acquired and<br />
their characteristics. All financial instruments are<br />
measured initially at their fair value plus, in the<br />
case of financial assets and financial liabilities not<br />
at fair value through profit and loss, any directly<br />
attributable incremental costs of acquisition or<br />
issue.<br />
2.3.2.2 Financial assets<br />
The Company’s financial assets include cash and<br />
short-term deposits, balances with NBC and other<br />
banks, loans and advances to customers and other<br />
receivables.<br />
2.3.2.3 Loans and advances<br />
“Loans and advances” are financial assets with fixed<br />
or determinable payments and fixed maturities<br />
that are not quoted in active market. They are<br />
not entered into with the intention of immediate<br />
or short-term resale and are not classified as<br />
“financial investments held-for-trading”, designated<br />
as “Financial investments - available-for-sale” or<br />
“financial assets designated at fair value through<br />
profit and loss”. After initial measurement, loans and<br />
advances to customers are subsequently measured<br />
at the amount of principal less any amounts written<br />
off and provisions for losses on loans.<br />
2.3.2.4 Financial liabilities<br />
The Company’s financial liabilities include deposits<br />
from customers, borrowings, debts and certain<br />
other payables.<br />
2.3.3 Financial instruments - derecognition<br />
2.3.3.1 Financial assets<br />
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a<br />
group of similar financial assets) is derecognized<br />
where:<br />
39<br />
Annual Report 2010<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret”
v the rights to receive cash flows from the assets<br />
have expired; or<br />
v the Company has transferred its rights to<br />
receive cash flows from the assets or has<br />
assumed an obligation to pay received cash<br />
flows in full without material delay to a third<br />
party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and<br />
either (a) the Company has transferred<br />
substantially all the risks and rewards of the<br />
assets, or (b) the Company has neither<br />
transferred nor retained substantially all the<br />
risks and rewards of the assets, but has<br />
transferred control of the asset.<br />
2.3.3.2 Financial liabilities<br />
A financial liability is derecognized when the<br />
obligation under the liability is discharged or<br />
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial<br />
liability is replaced by another form by the same<br />
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms<br />
of an existing liability are substantially modified,<br />
such an exchange or modification is treated as<br />
a derecognition of the original liability and the<br />
recognition of a new liability, and the difference in<br />
the respective carrying amounts is recognized in<br />
the income statement.<br />
2.3.4 Determination of fair value<br />
For financial instruments of the Company that<br />
are not listed in an active market, the fair value<br />
is determined by using appropriate valuation<br />
techniques. Valuation techniques include net<br />
present value techniques, market observable price<br />
list, and other relevant valuation models.<br />
2.3.5 Impairment of financial assets<br />
The Company assesses at each balance sheet<br />
date whether there is any objective evidence that<br />
a financial asset or a group of financial assets is<br />
impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial<br />
assets (except loans and advances to customers,<br />
see Note 2.3.10) is deemed to be impaired if, and<br />
only if, there is objective evidence of impairment<br />
as a result of one or more events that has occurred<br />
after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred<br />
“loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an<br />
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the<br />
financial assets or the group of financial assets that<br />
can be reliably estimated.<br />
2.3.6 Offsetting financial instruments<br />
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset<br />
and the net amount reported in the balance sheet<br />
if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal<br />
right to offset the recognized amounts and there is<br />
an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize<br />
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.<br />
This is not generally the case with master netting<br />
agreements, and the related assets and liabilities<br />
are presented gross in the balance sheet.<br />
2.3.7 Operating leases<br />
Payments made under operating leases are<br />
recognized in the income statement on a straightline<br />
basis over the term of the lease.<br />
2.3.8 Cash and cash equivalents<br />
For cash flow statement purposes, cash and cash<br />
equivalents consist of cash and bank balances,<br />
demand deposits and short- term highly liquid<br />
investments with maturities of three months or less<br />
when purchased, and that are readily convertible<br />
to known amounts of cash and subject to an<br />
insignificant risk of changes in value.<br />
2.3.9 Balances and placements with banks<br />
Balances and placements with banks are carried at cost.<br />
2.3.10 Loans and advances<br />
Loans and advances to customers are stated in the<br />
balance sheet as the amount of principal less any<br />
amounts written off and provisions for losses on<br />
loans.<br />
Loans are written off when there is no realistic<br />
prospect of recovery. Any recovery of loans and<br />
advances previously provided for decreases the<br />
amount of the allowance for losses on loans and<br />
advances charged to the income statement.<br />
Loans classified as substandard, doubtful or loss are<br />
considered as non-performing.<br />
Loan classifications and provisions for losses on loans.<br />
The Company follows the mandatory credit classification<br />
and provisioning as required by NBC Prakas<br />
No. B7-02-186 dated 13 September 2002. The<br />
Prakas requires licensed micro- finance institutions<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret” Annual Report 2010 40
to classify their loan portfolio into four classes based<br />
on number of days past due of principal and/or<br />
interest repayment. The mandatory level of specific<br />
provisioning is provided depending on the loan<br />
classification, regardless of the assets (except cash)<br />
pledged as collateral, as follows:<br />
Classification number of days past due rate of provision<br />
CLoans (less than one year)<br />
v Standard Nil to less than 30 days 0%<br />
v Substandard 30 days or more but less than 60 days 10%<br />
v Doubtful 60 days or more but less than 90 days 30%<br />
v Loss 90 days or more 100%<br />
Loans (more than one year)<br />
v Standard Nil to less than 30 days 0%<br />
v Substandard 30 days or more but less than 180 days 10%<br />
v Doubtful 180 days or more but less than 360 days 30%<br />
v Loss 360 days or more 100%<br />
Additionally, the Company also makes a general risk<br />
provision by providing for any difference between<br />
100% of the portfolio at risk (past due loans for<br />
30 days or more) and the mandatory specific<br />
level of provisioning as required by NBC above.<br />
Management believes that this more reasonably<br />
reflect the provision necessary to absorb risks<br />
relating to problems in the macroeconomic<br />
environment, natural disasters, and widespread<br />
deterioration in rural household income, which<br />
would render customers incapable of reimbursing<br />
their outstanding loans.<br />
2.3.11 Property and equipment and<br />
intangible assets<br />
Property and equipment, and intangible assets,<br />
are stated at cost excluding day-to-day servicing,<br />
less accumulated depreciation/amortization and<br />
provision for impairment in value, if any. Changes<br />
in the expected useful life are accounted for by<br />
changing the depreciation period or method, as<br />
appropriate and treated as a change in accounting<br />
estimate.<br />
Depreciation and amortization<br />
Depreciation of property and equipment and<br />
amortization of intangible assets are calculated as<br />
follows:<br />
Straight-line basis:<br />
Intangible assets 10%<br />
Declining balance basis:<br />
Office improvements 20%<br />
Office equipment 25%<br />
Information technology (“IT”) equipment 50%<br />
Furniture and fittings 25%<br />
Motor vehicles 25%<br />
An item of property and equipment and intangible<br />
assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no<br />
future benefits are expected from its use. Any gain<br />
or loss on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as<br />
the difference between the net disposal proceeds<br />
and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized<br />
in the income statement in the period the asset is<br />
derecognized.<br />
2.3.12 Deposits from customers<br />
Deposits from customers are stated at placement value.<br />
2.3.13 Borrowings and subordinated debt<br />
Borrowings and subordinated debt are carried at cost.<br />
2.3.14 Retirement benefits<br />
The Company provides for retirement benefits<br />
which are conditional on the employee remaining<br />
in the service of the Company up to retirement age<br />
and the completion of a minimum service period as<br />
follows:<br />
41<br />
Annual Report 2010<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret”
Number of working years<br />
year<br />
Percentage (%) of December salary of the preceding<br />
Within 5 years 100<br />
After 5 years but not more than 10 years 120<br />
More than 10 years 130<br />
This retirement benefit will be fully paid to the employee upon retirement age, or if employee resigns<br />
before retirement age, they are entitled to the following portion of retirement benefits:<br />
Number of working years<br />
Percentage (%) of total retirement benefits provided for the employee<br />
Within 3 years -<br />
After 3 years but not more than 6 years 25<br />
After 6 years but not more than 12 years 50<br />
More than 12 years 75<br />
No separate fund is maintained i.e. there is no<br />
separate interest-bearing bank account or any<br />
other asset for the fund. The Company adjusts the<br />
past service obligation at an estimated inflation<br />
rate determined by management. This adjustment<br />
is done at December of each year of service. The<br />
liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect<br />
of this defined benefit plan will be paid to employee<br />
upon termination of employment with the Company.<br />
2.3.15 Recognition of income or expense<br />
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is<br />
probable that the economic benefits will flow to the<br />
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.<br />
The following specific recognition criteria must also<br />
be met before revenue is recognized:<br />
2.3.15.1 Interest income and expense<br />
Interest income from loans and advances to<br />
customers, and balances with NBC and other banks<br />
are recognized on an accrual basis, except for<br />
loans and advances to customers that have been<br />
classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. Interest<br />
accruing to these loans shall instead be credited to<br />
an interest in suspense account.<br />
Interest expense on borrowings and deposits of<br />
customers are recognized on an accrual basis.<br />
2.3.15.2 Fee and commission income<br />
The Company earns fee and commission income<br />
from a diverse range of services it provides to its<br />
customers, mainly from loan and deposits processing.<br />
Fee and commission income is recognized on a cash<br />
basis.<br />
2.3.15.3 Grants<br />
Grants received to subsidize the Company’s<br />
operating expenses are released to the income<br />
statement on a systematic and rational basis,<br />
matching the related costs which they are intended<br />
to compensate.<br />
Grants received for the purchase of property and<br />
equipment are amortized to the income statement<br />
over the useful life of the assets. The unamortized<br />
grants are shown as deferred grant income.<br />
2.3.16 Corporate income tax<br />
Current tax<br />
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current<br />
and prior periods are measured at the amounts<br />
expected to be recovered from or paid to the<br />
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws<br />
used to compute the amount are those that are<br />
enacted at the balance sheet date.<br />
Deferred tax<br />
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet<br />
liability method on temporary differences at the<br />
balance sheet date between the tax base of assets<br />
and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial<br />
reporting purposes.<br />
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable<br />
temporary differences, except where the deferred<br />
tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an<br />
asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of<br />
the transaction affects neither the accounting profit<br />
nor taxable profit or loss.<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret” Annual Report 2010 42
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible<br />
temporary differences to the extent that it is<br />
probable that future taxable profits will be available<br />
against which these differences can be utilized,<br />
except where the deferred tax arises from the initial<br />
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction<br />
which at the time of the transaction affects neither<br />
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.<br />
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is<br />
reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to<br />
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient<br />
taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of<br />
the assets to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred<br />
income tax assets are re-assessed at each balance<br />
sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it<br />
has become probable that future taxable profit will<br />
allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.<br />
2.3.17 Provisions<br />
Provisions are recognized when the Company has<br />
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a<br />
result of a past event, and it is probable that an<br />
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits<br />
will be required to settle the obligation and a<br />
reliable estimate can be made on the amount of the<br />
obligation.<br />
2.3.18 Dividends<br />
Dividend are recognized as a liability and deducted<br />
from equity when they are approved by the<br />
Company’s shareholders. Interim dividends are<br />
deducted from equity when they are declared and<br />
no longer at the discretion of the Company.<br />

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT<br />
The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety<br />
of financial risks: credit risk, market risk (including<br />
currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), and<br />
liquidity risk. Taking risk is core to the financial<br />
business, and operational risks are an inevitable<br />
consequence of being in business.<br />
In the absence of the derivates market in Cambodia,<br />
the Company does not use derivative financial<br />
instruments such as foreign exchange contract and<br />
interest rate swaps to manage its risk exposure.<br />
The Company intends to comply with NBC’s<br />
regulations for financial risk management purposes.<br />
All major financial risks have been identified,<br />
monitored and reviewed by the Board of Directors<br />
and the management. The Asset and Liability<br />
Management Committee has been established to<br />
formulate broad parameters of acceptable risk for<br />
the Company and monitor the activities against<br />
these parameters.<br />
The Company holds the following financial assets and liabilities:<br />

29.1 Credit risk<br />
The Company takes on exposure to credit risk,<br />
which is the risk that a counterparty will cause a<br />
financial loss to the Company by failing to discharge<br />
an obligation. Credit risk is the most important<br />
risk for the Company’s business. Credit exposure<br />
arises principally in lending activities that lead to<br />
loans and advances. The credit risk management<br />
is carried out by the Company’s Risk Management<br />
Committee.<br />
(a) Credit risk measurement<br />
The Company assesses the probability of<br />
default of individual counterparties in<br />
accordance with its credit policy, procedures<br />
and practices. Risk Management Committee<br />
is responsible for determining the risk<br />
rating policies.<br />
(b) Risk limit control and mitigation policies<br />
The Company operates and provides loans<br />
and advances to individuals or enterprises<br />
within the Kingdom of Cambodia. The<br />
Company manages, limits, and controls<br />
the concentration of credit risk whenever<br />
it is identified. Large exposure is defined<br />
by NBC as overall credit exposure to any<br />
single beneficiary which exceeds 2% for<br />
individual loan and 3% for group loan of<br />
the Company’s net worth under the conditions<br />
of Prakas No. B7-07-163 of NBC.<br />
The Company employs a range of policies and<br />
practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional<br />
of these is the taking of security in the form of<br />
collateral for loans and advances to customers, which<br />
is a common practice. The Company implements<br />
guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes<br />
of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal<br />
collateral types to secure for loans and advances to<br />
customers are:<br />
v Mortgages over residential properties<br />
(land, building and other properties);<br />
v Charges over business assets such as land<br />
and buildings; and<br />
v Cash in the form of margin deposits for<br />
bio-digester products.<br />
(c) Impairment and provisioning policies<br />
The Company is required to follow the<br />
mandatory credit classification and provisioning<br />
in accordance with the relevant<br />
Prakas, as disclosed in Note 2.3.10.1.<br />
(d) Loans and advances<br />
Loans and advances are summarized as follows:<br />

29.2 Market risk<br />
The Company takes on exposure to market risk,<br />
which is the risk that the fair value or future cash<br />
flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because<br />
of changes in market prices. Market risk arises from<br />
open positions in interest rates, currency and equity<br />
products, all of which are exposed to general and<br />
specific market movements and changes in the level<br />
of volatility of market rates or prices such as<br />
interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange<br />
rates and equity prices.<br />
Microfinance Institution “Amret” Annual Report 2010 66
In the absence of derivatives market, the Company<br />
does not use derivative financial instruments<br />
such as foreign exchange contract and interest rate<br />
swaps to hedge its risk exposure.<br />
(i) Foreign exchange risk<br />
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the<br />
fair value of future cash flows of a financial<br />
instrument will fluctuate because of changes<br />
in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s<br />
exposure to the risk of changes in foreign<br />
exchange rates arises from future commercial<br />
transactions and recognized assets and<br />
liabilities denominated in a currency that is<br />
not the Company’s functional currency.<br />
The Company operates in the Kingdom<br />
of Cambodia and transacts in US$ aside<br />
from KHR, thus, is exposed to currency risk.<br />
The table in Note 32 summarizes the<br />
Company’s exposure to foreign currency<br />
exchange rate risk as at 31 December 2010.<br />
(ii) Interest rate risk<br />
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that<br />
the future cash flows of a financial instrument<br />
will fluctuate because of changes in market<br />
interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk<br />
is the risk that the value of a financial<br />
instrument will fluctuate because of changes<br />
in market interest rates. The management<br />
of the Company at this stage does not have<br />
a policy to set limits on the level of mismatch<br />
of interest rate risks; however, the management<br />
regularly monitors the mismatch.<br />
At time of re-pricing of interest rate on<br />
assets or liabilities, a change in market price<br />
may increase or decrease the interest margin.<br />
The table in Note 30 summarizes the<br />
Company’s exposure to interest rate risks.<br />
It includes the Company’s financial instruments<br />
at carrying amounts, categorized<br />
by the earlier of contractual repricing or<br />
maturity dates.<br />
29.3 liquidity risk<br />
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable<br />
to meet its payment obligations associated with its<br />
financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace<br />
funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence<br />
of this may be the failure to meet obligations to<br />
repay depositors and fulfill commitments to lend.<br />
The Company’s management monitors balance sheet<br />
liquidity and manages the concentration and profile<br />
of debt maturities. Monitoring and reporting take<br />
the form of the daily cash position and projection<br />
for the next day, week and month respectively, as<br />
these are key periods for liquidity management.<br />
Management monitors the movements of the main<br />
depositors and projection of their withdrawals.<br />
The table in Note 31 is an analysis of the assets<br />
and liabilities of the Company by relevant maturity<br />
based on the remaining period at the balance sheet<br />
date to the contractual or estimated maturity dates.<br />
29.4 Fair value of financial assets<br />
and liabilities<br />
Fair value represents the amount at which an<br />
asset could be exchanged or a liability settled on an<br />
arms-length basis. As verifiable market prices are<br />
not available, market prices are not available for<br />
a significant proportion of the Company’s financial<br />
assets and liabilities. Fair values, therefore, have<br />
been based on management assumptions according<br />
to the profile of the asset and liability base. In the<br />
opinion of the management, the carrying amounts<br />
of the financial assets and liabilities included in<br />
the balance sheet are a reasonable estimation of<br />
their fair values. In making this assessment, the<br />
management assumes that loans and advances are<br />
mainly held to maturity with fair values equal to the<br />
book value of loans adjusted for provision for loan<br />
losses, if any.<br />
