King Walker and Associates  Grassroot Gender Empowerment Movement (GGEM) Chartered Accountants Micro FinancSeervices AuditedFinancialStatmeents For the year ended 31st December 2009 Report of the Independent Auditors, King Walker and Associates to the Board of Trustees for Grassroot Gender Empowerment Movement Microfinance Services Limited We have audited the Balance Sheet of Grassroot Gend er Empowerment Movement (GGEM) Microfinance Services Ltd as of 31 st  December 2009 and the accompanying related income and cash flows statements for the year then ended. Respective Responsibility of the Board of Trustees and Auditors The preparations of these Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Board of Trustees of GGEM. Our responsibility is to express an opinion regarding conclusion as to whether the Financial Statements of GGEM Microfinance Services Ltd comply with the Disclosure Guidelines for Financial Reporting by Microfinance Institutions. These guidelines are voluntary norms recommended by a consultative group of international donors. Thus an institution’s failure to comply with these guidelines would not imply that the institution or its financial statements are in violation of any legal or other authoritative accounting or reporting standards. We also conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards of Auditing as promulgated by the International Federation of Accountants where the Disclosure Guidelines for Financial Reporting by Microfinance Institutions do not cover as a normal practice. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and as well as evaluating the overall Financial Statements presentation.OpinionIn our opinion, we conclude that the Financial Statements audited by us herein with accompanying notes comply with the Disclosure Guidelines in all material respects, for the year ended 31 st  December 2009 and the state of affairs of the microfinance programme as at that date. .............................................King Walker and Associates Date Chartered Accountants  Freetown

King Walker and Associates  Grassroot Gender Empowerment Movement (GGEM) CharteredAccountantsMicroFinanceServicesAuditedFinancialStatmeents For the year ended 31st December 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements 1. Background Information The Grassroots Gender Empowerment Movement (GGEM Services) was initially established in 1979 as a Family Life Education Centre (FLEC) with a focus on the promotion of an integrated approach to family life values based on human sexuality. In 1993 the organization became more gender sensiti ve and its focus was shifted to improvement of gender and socioeconomic relations in respect of women’s position in deprived communities especially through support for the entrepreneurial poor. Since then until 2007 the organization with funds from CORAID Netherlands implemented the “Gender Grassroots Small Enterprise Loan Operations and Community Training” Program in the Western Area, Port Loko and Moyamba Districts. This program consisted of both community development and micro credit activities in one program. In line with a strategic plan GGEM now operates two departments; the Community Development Department and the Microfinance Department with separate financial and accounting systems. In 2008 GGEM secured funding from CORDAID Netherlands to support both departments. A Resident Technical Assistant was also hired by CORDAID on contract for one year to assist in putting the appropriate systems in place for the Microfinance Department and guide the process of transforming in to a Microfinance Institution.  2.  Principal Accounting Policies The following Accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items, which are considered material in relation to the Mi crofinance Programme’s Financial Statements.i. Basis of Accounting The Income Statement is prepared on the basis of cash accounting whereby income is recognized on the receipt of cash and cash equiv alents, and expenditure is recognized on the disbursement of cash and cash equivalents.  The Microfinance Programme Financial Statements ha ve been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The basis for income recognition is described below. ii. IncomeInterests from loan and investments are accounted for in income account when received and are only recognised in the Progra mme’s Income Statement when realised. iii. ExpenditureExpenses are included in the income statement on an accruals basis.  6

All bad debts (loan) that are due past 360 days are written-off. The provision is calculated as shown in the table below.  Days of Loan in Loan Portfolio at Rate for Loan Loan Loss Classification Arrears Risk Loss Provision Provision Current 1 – 30 Days X 1% X Watch 31 – 90 Days X 25% X Substandard 91 – 180 Days X 50% X Doubtful 180 – 360 Days X 75% X Loss > 360 Days X 100% X Total X X vii.  Loan and Interests  GGEM provides Group Loan, Individual Loan, Agriculture Loan and Wholesale Loan. It collects up-front service charge of 1.5% of loan amount in Group Loan, Agriculture Loan and Wholesale Loan whereas 2.0% of loan amount is collected in individual loan. All loans are given to clients with an interest rate of 36% (Flat) per annum. Most loans are given for 6 months period and therefore attract 18% (Flat) interest. To minimize the potential risk, GGEM collects up-front cash collateral of 15% on Group Loan and Agriculture Loan whereas it collects a up-front cash collateral of 25% on Individual Loan and Whole sale Loan. viii.  Delinquency Fee  A 3% fine is levied on all principal amounts that have past due for payment. 7
