Risk management plays a very significant part within Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc in which the management team is focusing and prioritizing because it’s a catalyst that helps bringing the whole institution towards success as well as maintaining its long term sustainability. Therefore, in order to ensure that there is an effective and efficient risk management, Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc uses a key principle to early prevent any unexpected risk from happening.

Technically, to ensure the best practice of risk management framework in place, Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc has determined the scope of work/responsibility and segregated it into 3 core components as below arrangement:

(1) Business function: 1st level of risk control consists of auto-controls within the business hierarchy(2) Risk function: 2nd level of risk control via field inspectors and risk analysts by Risk & Compliance Department, who are deployed throughout the organization and (3) Audit function: 3rd level is constituted by the all-encom-passing control mandate of the Internal Audit.

It means that each individual function is independently performing their duties and also accountable for what they have done. Currently,

Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc is working on an establishment of some risk management policy including operational risk, financial risk as well as credit risk. In addition to this, to ensure that there is a systematic approach to manage risk and assist the management team to find proper solutions in a timely manner, Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc also introduces 4 critical processes to be followed within the institu-tion such as identify /categorize, assess, manage and monitor. Ideally, Risk Department plays an active part in identifying any possible risk involving with staff’s implementation as well as processes and procedures of other relevant departments. After risk is identified then assessment will also be made to under-stand its possibility to incur as well as any impacts that may have. Practically, it requires all the risk including its risk level to be registered into a risk registered tool for a tracking purpose. Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc, more importantly, develops an appropriate approach /strategy to resolve and/or reduce such an impact for instance mitigate, reduce, transfer or transform the risk. Last but not least, Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc will strictly monitor all the risk to ensure that they have been properly managed and resolved in an effective way and to some extents of new action plans should be taken into account should the risk be still at a high attention.

OTHER INFORMATION

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises appendix notes on requirement of the Central Bank’s Prakas but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstat-ed. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with guidelines issued by the National Bank of Cambodia and Cambodian Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless manage-ment either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with CISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures respon-sive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

41

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Compa-ny’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc (the Company) was incorporated as public limited company in the Kingdom of Cambodia under registration number 00001313 dated 06 August 2012 with the Ministry of Commerce. On 02 October 2012, the Company obtained license from the National Bank of Cambodia (the Central Bank) to operate as a micro-fi-nance institution.

The Company is principally engaged in providing micro financial services and other related financial services within the scope of micro-finance license in Cambo-dia.

The registered office of the Company is located at No. 85-86-87-88, Kim Ilsong Boulevard (289), Sangkat Boeng Kak II, Khan Toul Kork, Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia.

The financial statements were authorised by the Board of Directors on 19 March 2018.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consist-ently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Cambodian Accounting Standards (CAS) and guidelines of the Central Bank. In applying CAS, the Company also applies Cambodian International Financial Reporting Standard (CIFRS) 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The accounting principles applied may differ from generally accepted accounting princi-ples adopted in other countries and jurisdictions. The accompanying financial statements are therefore not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with jurisdictions other than the Cambodia. Consequently, these financial statements are addressed only those who are informed about Cambodian accounting principles, procedures and practices.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with CAS and the guidelines of the Central Bank requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

2.2 New financial reporting framework

On 28 August 2009, the National Accounting Council of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (“the National Accounting Council”) announced the adoption of Cambodian International Financial Reporting Standards (CIFRS) which are based on all standards published by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), including the related interpretations and amendments. Public accountable entities are required to prepare their financial statements in accordance with CIFRS for accounting year beginning on or after 1 January 2012.

Circular 058 MoEF.NAC dated 24 March 2016 issued by the National Accounting Council of the Ministry of Economy and Finance allowed banks and financial institu-tions to delay adoption of CIFRS until years beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

CAS, the current accounting standard used, is different to CIFRS in many areas. Hence, the adoption of CIFRS will have some impacts on the financial statements of the Compa-ny.

2.3 Foreign currencies (a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the prima-ry economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in US dollars (US$), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Transactions in currencies other than US$ are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than US$ at the year-end exchange rates, are recognised in the income statement. 47

Page 49: CONTENTS · 05 06 Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc,. received license from National Bank of Cambodia to operate finance services and also celebrated formal inauguration ceremo-ny

(c) Presentation in Khmer Riel

For the sole regulatory purpose of comply-ing with Prakas No. B7-07-164 dated 13 December 2007 of the Central Bank, a translation into Khmer Riel (KHR) is provided for the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of changes in equity, the cash flow statement and the notes to the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017 using the closing official exchange rate published by the Central Bank as at the reporting date, which was US$1 equal to KHR 4,037 (31 December 2016: US$1 equal to KHR 4,037). Such transla-tion amounts are unaudited and should not be construed as representations that the US$ amounts represent, or have been or could be converted into KHR at that or any other rate.

2.4 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, including cash on hand, the non-restricted balances with the Central Bank and balances with banks and other financial institutions.

2.5 Loans to customers

All loans to customers are stated in the balance sheet at outstanding principal, less any amounts written off and provision for loan losses.

Loans are written off when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Recovery of loans previously written-off or provided for are recognised in the income statement.

2.6 Provision for loan losses

The Company follows the mandatory credit classification and provisioning as required by the Central Bank’s Prakas B7-02-186 dated 13 September 2002.

The Prakas requires microfinance institutions to classify their loan portfolio into the following four classifications based on the number of days past due of the principal and/or interest repayment and ensure that the minimum mandatory level of specific provisioning, unless other information is available to indicate worsening.

The table below shows loan classifications and minimum provisioning requirements:

2.7 Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated deprecia-tion and impairment loss, if any. Histori-cal cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property and equipment are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as an asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property and equipment is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets at the following annual rates:

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and recognised in the income statement.

Fully depreciated property and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are disposed of or written-off.

2.8 Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of computer software and are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Acquired computer software is capital-ised on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire the specific software and bring it into use. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives of ten years using the straight-line method.

2.9 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Any impairment loss is charged to income statement in the year in which it arises. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the income statement to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised.

2.10 Borrowings

Borrowings are stated at the amount of the principal outstanding.

2.11 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obliga-tion as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

When there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are re-measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.12 Interest income and expenses

Interest income on loans to customers, balances with the Central Bank and balances with banks are recognised on an accrual basis. Where a loan becomes non-performing, the recording of interest income on loans to customers is suspended until it is realised on a cash basis.

Interest expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.

2.13 Fee and commission income

Fees and commissions represent for loan processing fees that are recognised as income when loan is disbursed.

2.14 Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership of assets are retained by the leaser are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the year of the leases.

2.15 Provident funds

The Company provides its employees with benefits under the staff provident funds policy which is contributed by employees and the Company.

i) Employees’ contribution

The Company withhold 5% of employees’ monthly salary effective from 1 January 2015. The Company also provides interest on this employees’ contribution at 8% per annum and will pay to employees upon resignation of their employment. The interest on employees’ contribution is accrued and charged to the income statement on monthly basis.

ii) Company’s contribution

The Company provides provident fund to employees upon resignation of their employment based on the following rates and conditions. This provident fund is accrued and charged to the income statement on monthly basis.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax law enacted or substan-tively enacted at the reporting date in country where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for tempo-rary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial report-ing purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

2.17 Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, or where the Company and the other party are subject to common control or significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party.

In accordance with the Law on Banking and Financial Institutions, related parties are defined as parties who hold, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the capital of the Company or voting rights and include any individual who participates in the administration, direction, management or internal control of the Company.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and judgements concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Impairment losses on loans to customers

The Company is required to follow the mandatory credit classification and provisioning in accordance with the Prakas No. B7-02-186 dated 13 September 2002 on the classifica-tion and provisioning for bad and doubtful debts. The Central Bank requires microfi-nance institutions to classify their loan portfolios into four classes and ensure that the minimum mandatory level of specific provision is made depending on the classification concerned and regardless of the assets (except for cash) pledged as collateral. For the purpose of loan classification, the Company is required to take into account the borrow-er’s historical payment experience and financial condition.

(b) Taxes

Taxes are calculated on the basis of current interpretations of the tax regulations. Howev-er, these regulations are subject to periodic variation and the ultimate determination of tax expenses will be made following inspection by the General Department of Taxation.

Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), and liquidity risk. Taking risks is core to the financial business, and the operational risks are an inevitable consequence of being in business.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contract and interest rate swaps to manage their risk exposure.

The Company holds the following financial assets and financial liabilities:

26.1 Credit risk

The Company takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparties will cause a financial loss to the Company by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Company’s business. Credit exposure arises principally in lending activities that lead to loans to customers. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as loan commit-ments. The credit risk management is carried out by the Company’s credit committee.

The lending activities are guided by the Company’s credit policy to ensure that the overall objectives in the area of lending are achieved; i.e., that the loan portfolio is strong and healthy and credit risks are well diversified. The credit policy documents the lending policy, collateral policy, and credit approval processes and procedures implemented to ensure compliance with Central Bank guidelines.

68

Page 71: CONTENTS · 05 06 Ly Hour Microfinance Institution Plc,. received license from National Bank of Cambodia to operate finance services and also celebrated formal inauguration ceremo-ny

(a) Credit risk measurement

The Company assesses the probability of default of counterparties by focusing on borrowers’ forecast profit and cash flow. The credit committee is responsible for approving loans to customers.

(b) Risk limit control and mitigation policies

The Company operates and provides loans to individuals within the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Company manages limits and controls the concentration of credit risk whenever it is identified.

The Company employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is the taking of security in the form of collateral in exchange for loans to customers. The Company also assess the individual cash flow to ensure the repayment capacity.

(c) Provision for loan losses polices

The Company is required to follow the mandatory credit classification and provisioning in accordance with Prakas B7-02-186 dated 13 September 2002 on loan classification and provisioning. The Central Bank requires microfinance institutions to classify their loan portfo-lio into four classes and ensure that the minimum mandatory level of specific provision is made depending on the classification concerned and regardless of the assets (except for cash) pledged as collateral.

(d) Maximum exposure to credit risk before collaterals held or other credit enhancements

The above table represents a worst case scenario for credit risk exposure to the Company at 31 December 2017, without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancement attached. For on-balance sheet assets, the exposure set out above is based on net carrying amounts.

As shown above, 94% (2016: 91%) of total maximum exposure is derived from loans to customers.

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal credit risk exposure to the Company relating to its loans to customers on the following bases:

• 99.64% of the loans in the portfolio are considered to be neither past due nor impaired, and the Company has introduced a more stringent selection and collection process for granting loans to customers• Balances with banks were held with local banks and management has done proper risk assessment and believe there will be no material loss from these banks.

(e) Credit quality of financial assets

Loans to customers are summarised as follows:

For the purpose of loan provisioning, the expected recovery from collateral (except cash) is not taken into consideration, in accordance with the Central Bank’s requirements and the Company’s policy.

26.2 Market risk

The Company takes on exposure to market risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk arises from open positions in interest rates, currency and equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contract and interest rate swaps to hedge its risk exposure as at 31 December 2017.

(a) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency.

The Company mainly transacts in US$, which is the Company’s functional currency, and the Company does not have exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Management monitors its foreign exchange risk against functional currencies through monitoring the foreign exchange risk by using the absorbed risk of 20% of the net worth required by the Central Bank.

The table below summarises the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016. It includes the Company’s financial instruments at the carrying amount by currency in US$ equivalent.

(b) Price risk

The Company is not exposed to a securities price risk because it does not have any investment held and classified on the balance sheet either as available for sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Company does not currently have a policy to manage its price risk.

(c) Interest rate risk

Interest rates present several risks. There is a risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The value of a financial instrument will fluctuate in this same way. Interest margins may increase as a result of chang-es but may reduce losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Company at this stage does not have a policy to set limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be undertaken; however, management regularly monitors the mismatch.

The table below summarises the Company’s exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Company’s financial instruments at the carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of either their contractual re-pricing or their maturity dates.

26.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of the Company being unable to meet the payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due or to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence of this may be the failure to meet obligations to repay creditors or fulfil commitments to lender or lessor.

(a) Liquidity risk management process

The Company’s management monitors balance sheet liquidity and manages the concentration and profile of debt maturities. Monitor-ing and reporting take the form of the reviewing of the daily cash position and projections for the next day, week and month, as these are key years for liquidity management. Management monitors the movement of the main lenders and payable terms.

(b) Funding approach

The Company’s main sources of liquidity are from the shareholders’ paid-up capital and borrowings. The sources of liquidity are regular-ly reviewed through management’s review of the maturity of borrowings.

(c) Non-derivative cash flows

The table on the following page presents the cash flows payable by the Company under non-derivative financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows, whereas the Company manages the inherent liquidity risk based on the expected undiscounted cash flows.

(a) Financial instruments measured at fair value

The Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value.

(b) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

(i) Balances with the Central Bank

Balances with the Central Bank include current accounts. The fair value of balances with the Central Bank approximates the carrying amount.

(ii) Balances with other banks

Balances with banks include non-interest bearing current accounts and savings deposits. The fair value of balances with banks approxi-mates the carrying amount. (iii) Loans to customers

Loans to customers are net of provisions for loan losses and their carrying value approximates fair value. The provisions for loan losses made under the requirements of the Central Bank’s Prakas.

(iv) Other financial assets and other financial liabilities

The carrying amounts of other financial assets and other financial liabilities are assumed to approximate their fair values as these are not materially sensitive to the shift in market interest.
