2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1 Use of financial statements and basis of preparation (continued)

2.1.1 Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December..

2.1.2 Presentation of financial statements

The accompanying financial statements, including their utilization, are not designed for thosewho are not informed about the Kingdom of Cambodia's accounting principles, proceduresand practices and furthermore are not intended to present the financial position and results ofoperations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generallyaccepted in countries other than the Kingdom of Cambodia.

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied by the Company duringthe year.

2.1.3 Standards not yet adopted

On 24 March 2016, the National Accounting Council of Cambodia (“NAC”) announced thatCambodian International Financial Reporting Standards (“CIFRSs”) implementation isdeferred to 1 January 2019. During the transition period, banks and financial institutions,including insurance companies, shall prepare progress report regarding the implementationof CIFRSs and report annually to the NAC and other regulators.

The adoption of CIFRSs is expected to have a significant impact on the financial statementsof the Company.

2.2 Significant accounting judgments and estimates

In applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has used its judgment and madeestimates in determining the amounts recognized in the financial statements, as follows:

2.2.1 Estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets

The useful life of each item of property and equipment and intangible assets is estimatedbased on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use. Such estimationis based on a collective assessment of similar businesses, internal technical evaluation andexperience with similar assets. The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed periodicallyand updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear,technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the asset. It ispossible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes inthe amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factorsmentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful life of any item of property andequipment and intangible assets would increase the recorded operating expenses anddecrease the carrying value of these nonfinancial assets. There is no change in the estimateduseful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets during the year.

2.2.2 Operating leases

The Company has entered into property leases as a lessee for its office premises. TheCompany has determined that the lessor retained all the significant risks and rewards ofownership over this property based on the indicators of operating lease treatment. Indetermining whether or not there is an indication of operating lease treatment, the Companyconsiders the following factors: retention of ownership title to the leased property, and periodof lease contract relative to the estimated useful economic life of the leased property, bearerof executory costs, among others.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2 Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

2.2.3 Impairment losses on loans to customers

When preparing the financial statements, the quality of loans to customers is reviewed andassessed to determine their classification and level of impairment losses, as disclosed furtherin Note 2.3.7.1.

2.2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds itsrecoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding salestransactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices lessincremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on adiscounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget and do not includerestructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant futureinvestments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit beingtested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discountedcash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used forextrapolation purposes.

2.2.5 Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses and temporary differences to theextent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the lossescan be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount ofdeferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of futuretaxable income together with future tax planning strategies.

The Company recognized deferred tax assets as at 31 December 2018 amounting toUSD8.13 million equivalent to KHR32.66 billion (31 December 2017: USD5.24 millionequivalent to KHR21.15 billion) as disclosed in Note 14.

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.3.1 Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional and presentation currency is USD.

The financial statements are translated into USD based on the closing exchange rate of KHR4,018 per USD1 ruling at the reporting date (31 December 2017: KHR 4,037), as announcedby the NBC. Such translation should not be construed as a representation that USD amountsrepresent, or have been or could be, converted into USD at that or any other rate. All valuesin KHR and USD are rounded to the nearest thousand (“KHR’000”) and dollar, respectively,except as otherwise indicated.

2.3.2 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balancesheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognizedamounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settlethe liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements,and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the balance sheet.

On 9 June 2017, the Company changed its method of calculating employee benefits from theabove to applying a fixed rate of 5% of the employee’s monthly fixed salary effective 1 April2017.

This obligation will be paid to staff upon resignation or retirement. Employees are entitled tobenefits based on their length of service (after completion of probation period) of regularemployment, except termination due to serious offense. This obligation earns no interest.

The employee benefits allocation is maintained at savings accounts (non-interest bearing)under the name of each employee within the Company and withdrawal can only be madeupon resignation or retirement.

As at 31 December 2017, the Company has fully settled the balance of the provision foremployee benefits related to the above based on the computation determined on 9 June 2017,as agreed with the employees. In 2018, the Company adopted the relevant mandatoryprovision of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training’s Prakas 443 dated 21 September2018 on implementation of payment of seniority indemnity, in accruing for the Company’sseverance pay for the year 2018. The said Prakas requires retroactive seniority payment(equivalent to the Company’s severance payment prior to the release of the Prakas) equal tofifteen days per year of employees’ wages which shall be paid to them as follows:

· Equal to seven and half days shall be made in June next year

· Equal to seven and half days shall be made in December next year

The implementation of the new Prakas did not have significant impact in the Company’sprovision for employee benefits for the year ended 31 December 2018.

2.3.19 Income tax

Current tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amountsexpected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax lawsused to compute the amount are those that are enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences atthe balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amountfor financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where thedeferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transactionwhich at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit orloss.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent thatit is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these differences canbe utilized, except where the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset orliability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profitnor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date andreduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be availableto allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred income tax assetsare re-assessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it hasbecome probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

28.3 Market risk (continued)

(ii) Price risk

The Company is not exposed to securities price risk because it does not hold anyinvestment classified in the balance sheet either as available for sale or at fair valuethrough profit or loss.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrumentwill fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk isthe risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in marketinterest rates. Interest margins may increase as a result of changes and may reducelosses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The management of the Company,at this stage, does not have a policy to set limits on the level of mismatch of interest ratere-pricing that may be undertaken; however, management regularly monitors themismatch.

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect futureprofitability or the fair values of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to interestrate risk as a result of mismatches of interest rate re-pricing of assets and liabilities. TheCompany manages this risk by matching the re-pricing of assets and liabilities throughrisk management strategies.

The Company has no significant financial assets and liabilities with floating interest rates.Balances with the NBC and balances with other banks earn fixed interest for the periodof the deposit while loans to customers earn fixed interest based on the outstandingbalance over the agreed term.

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

28.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replacefunds when they are withdrawn. The consequence of this may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfil commitments to lend.

Management monitors balance sheet liquidity and manages the concentration and profile of debt maturities. Monitoring and reporting take the form of thedaily cash position and projection for the next day, week and month, respectively, as these are key periods for liquidity management. Management monitorsthe movements of the main depositors and projection of their withdrawals.

The following tables present an analysis of the assets and liabilities of the Company by relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheetdate to the contractual or estimated maturity dates.

Up to1 month >1 to 3 months

>3 to 12months >1 to 5 years Over 5 years

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

28.5 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settledon an arms-length basis. As verifiable market prices are not available, market prices are notavailable for a significant proportion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. Fairvalues, therefore, have been based on management assumptions according to the profile ofthe asset and liability base. Management believes that the carrying amounts of the financialassets and liabilities included in the balance sheet are a reasonable estimation of their fairvalues. In making this assessment, management assumes that loans to customers are mainlyheld to maturity with fair values equal to the book value of loans to customers adjusted forprovision for loan losses, if any.

29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, at the date of this report,there were no other events which occurred subsequent to 31 December 2018 that hadsignificant impact on the balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2018, and itsfinancial performance for the year then ended.

30. TAX CONTINGENCY

The taxation system in Cambodia is characterized by numerous taxes and frequentlychanging legislation, which is often unclear, contradictory and subject to interpretation. Often,differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions. Taxesare subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, who are enabled by law toimpose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. These facts may create tax risks inCambodia substantially more significant than in other countries. Management believes that ithas adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation.However, the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects since theincorporation of the Company could be significant.
