Annual Report 2013
PROTECTING OUR MEMBERS Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 STRONG ROOTS 2 “Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful” - As we complete 6 full years of operations and step into the seventh year of our journey, we are able to appreciate the meaning of this quote better. Having made our footprint when the industry was in its heydays and having seen the crisis of survival take its toll on the industry, Asirvad probably has seen it all. And it would be no exaggeration to say that we have emerged more efficient and poised for stronger growth. The fairly stable regulatory environment characterized by the granting of NBFC - MFI licenses after rigorous checks, liquidity finding its way back to the sector, stabilization of the credit bureau usage, have all contributed to the growth of the industry at large. The adversities showcased the resilience of Asirvad and the organization is back on an accelerated growth trajectory after the slack growth during the last couple of years. Our borrowers have stood with us, our staff have been pillars of support, our lenders have reposed their confidence in us and all these have contributed in no mean measure to Asirvad’s growth. Asirvad’s growth during the current year stands out - we have achieved what may be termed as “diversified growth” and this is the theme of our 7th Annual report. Marking our presence in the states of Kerala, Orissa and Gujarat, we have taken the first step in reaching out to financially include people outside the state of Tamil Nadu. Blessed are those who are able to share their good fortune with the not so fortuitous; we hope that our journey of empowering people continues to be just as sweet and enriching as the last seven years. 3 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 ASIRVAD STORY Small Loans, Big Dreams... “ 4 We Rise by Lifting Others ” Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 A SNEAK PREVIEW March 08 March 09 March 10 March 11 March 12 No: Members enrolled 6,092 57,276 1,47,850 3,34,135 3,87,535 4,26,489 5,31,760 No: Active members 6,092 48,425 1,26,483 2,19,043 1,73,109 1,13,416 2,11,260 235 2,152 6,137 12,380 15,205 17,375 25,958 No: Branches 2 19 49 85 78 64 94 No: Districts covered 2 7 14 22 21 20 30 No: States covered 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 19 130 327 531 412 280 351 Cumulative disbursal (` in Lakhs) 305 2,570 11,889 31,487 46,067 59,551 84,009 Portfolio Outstanding (Gross) (` in Lakhs) 286 1,509 6,243 10,101 7,937 10,246 18,880 - - 2 63 1 - 5.6 March 13 March 14 OPERATIONAL METRICS No: Centres HEADCOUNT METRICS Total staff DELINQUENCY METRICS (` LAKHS) PAR (`in Lakhs) 5 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 BOARD OF DIRECTORS S V Raja Vaidyanathan S V Krishnamurthy Kalpana Iyer Rajivan Krishnaswamy S Rathinasabapathi Venkatesh Natarajan MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE S V Raja Vaidyanathan Venkatesh Natarajan S V Krishnamurthy G Srikanth BORROWING COMMITTEE S V Raja Vaidyanathan S V Krishnamurthy S Rathinasabapathi ASSET LIABILITY COMMITTEE S V Raja Vaidyanathan G Srikanth K.Nithya AUDITORS M/s.Deloitte Haskins & Sells., Chartered Accountants, ASV ‘N’ Ramana Tower, 52, Venkatnarayana Road, T.Nagar, Chennai17.

Having been engulfed by the industry crisis since the latter half of 2010, the financial year 201314 has been like the calm after the storm. While the crisis showed signs of easing out during the second half of 2012-13, it was only in 2013-14 that the confidence of the investors, lenders and all other stakeholders was restored in totality and no doubt, the results of the Microfinance Institutions say it all. Microfinance is probably one of the few businesses with twin objectives of commercial sustainability and social impact. While there is no doubt that the loans provided by the Microfinance Institutions go a long way in improving the standard of life of the borrowers, it is also essential for the Companies to remain commercially sustainable so that long term social impact could be achieved. To this extent, the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India are a welcome step to achieve commercial sustainability without compromising on the social impact that Microfinance Institutions are expected to bring about. The Reserve Bank has also signaled its intent to be the regulator of the industry through issue of NBFC – MFI licenses which has lent additional credence to the contribution of Microfinance Institutions in achieving financial inclusion. It is with immense joy that I would like to mention that Asirvad was one of the earliest recipients of this license which reinforces the efficacy of its processes, adherence to regulations, 9 transparency and strong corporate governance. It is also an undisputable fact that the Reserve Bank left no stone unturned in convincing themselves of the orderly functioning of the Microfinance Institutions before awarding the NBFC – MFI license. To this extent, the Company had to provide lots of documentation sought for by the Central bank, respond to their queries and clarifications and convince them of its orderly functioning. Thanks to the untiring efforts of the staff and the Management team, Asirvad was able to demonstrate its credibility to the Reserve Bank and the NBFC – MFI license stands a testimony to this. I also take pride in mentioning that Asirvad grew from strength to strength during the current financial year and following are some of the significant achievements of Asirvad during the year: • We have commenced lending operations in other States apart from Tamil Nadu • We got ourselves registered as an NBFC – MFI • We showed significant increase in our portfolio and member base • We have managed to maintain our very strong portfolio quality with close to zero delinquencies • We continue to remain a commercially viable organization All this was achieved without any compromise on the quality of our processes or internal controls. We continue to use Credit Bureau reports for every single loan that we sanction, training and group recognition tests are adhered to without any deviations, and all the stipulations laid down by the Reserve Bank are followed both in letter and in spirit. This year also marks the geographical expansion of Asirvad into the states of Kerala, Orissa and Gujarat. Despite the sourcing constraints laid Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 down by the regulations, Asirvad has managed to build a fairly sizeable portfolio in Kerala. We have also been able to originate quality portfolio in the states of Gujarat and Orissa and I am sure that we will be able to scale up our non-TN portfolio further in the coming years. This will help us mitigate any concentration risk that might arise on account of specific state level actions. I would be failing in my duty if I don’t mention the immense support that our lenders have extended during the current year. With their support, we have managed to mobilize over Rs.255 Crores during FY 2013-14 which is over 75% higher than the funds mobilized in the previous year. This has also resulted in our portfolio growing by about 85% during the current year. We had also issued our first Non-Convertible Debenture during this year, which has helped us diversify our funding streams and we hope that we will be able to deepen this in the coming years. This year has seen the highest amount of loan disbursals that Asirvad has achieved ever since inception. We disbursed about Rs.245 Crores, which is about 90% higher than last year’s disbursals. This would not have been possible but for the dedicated efforts of our field staff who were ably backed up by all other support functions. Our staffs continue to be the pillars of strength for Asirvad and no amount of words would be adequate to thank them for their phenomenal efforts and I am sure Asirvad will be able to scale new highs with their enthusiasm and commitment. I also want to express my sincere gratitude towards the Board members who have been extremely supportive in providing necessary guidance and direction to the team so that we could realize all these achievements. Asirvad Development Foundation has continued its good work in providing education and medical assistance to the needy. During the year, we provided education scholarships to deserving students and also funded the setting up of English Language labs in rural and nursery 10 schools which will help improve the English speaking and conversation skills of rural children so that they remain on par with the children of urban schools. On the medical front, the foundation supported the open heart surgery of an underprivileged child, and I am happy to state that the child is now healthy and doing well. Such instances bring about a sense of satisfaction and happiness and I hope that we get further opportunities to be of service to the society. By far, FY 2013-14 has been the best year for Asirvad and I hope that these good times continue in the years to come. I would like to thank all the stakeholders for their support and patronage and hope that they continue to remain with us in this glorious journey of financial inclusion and social development. Exciting times await us and I hope and pray that we will be able to make these times count. Sd/S.V.

For and on behalf of the Board of Directors Sd/ Chennai | 6thJune, 2014 14 (S.V. Raja Vaidyanathan) Chairman and Managing Director Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS 15 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION In a country like India where a major part of the population does not have access to banking, achieving financial inclusion assumes a great level of importance. However it does not come without its share of challenges. Despite being one of the top items on the Central bank agenda, banks have not been able to make much inroads and financial inclusion continues to remain a distant dream. The Joint Liability Group model of lending patronized by the Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) helped bridge this gap and access to finance was made available even to hitherto unbanked people. The operational framework of the MFIs which enables finance being taken to the doorsteps of the borrowers made financial inclusion possible and the concept was well embraced by the borrowers as well. Such financial inclusion helped the borrowers enhance their standard of living and resulted in numerous benefits to the society at large. The industry faced a survival crisis with the introduction of an ordinance by the AP government which effectively curbed the Microfinance business. However the Reserve Bank of India took cognizance of the fact that the benefits brought about by the sector overweighed the costs and hence ensured the survival of the industry albeit within a much more stringent regulatory framework. Detailed policies were laid down and RBI went so far as to create a special category under the NBFC umbrella, the ‘NBFC – MFI’. NBFC – MFI licenses were also issued by the Central bank during FY 2013-14, which brought the original resurgence back to the sector. Asirvad was one of the earliest institutions to be certified as NBFC – MFI by the RBI, which was one of the very positive developments for the organization during 2013-14. This, coupled with the high grading accorded by ICRA, served as a launch-pad for securing new funding relationships and Asirvad was able to significantly increase its disbursals and portfolio during the current year. The Company raised funds through multiple modes of funding – vanilla term loans from banks and financial institutions, multi-originator securitization transactions structured by IFMR Capital and also issue of its first non-convertible debenture through the private placement route. Despite the increase in business volumes during the year, Asirvad has strictly adhered to all the covenants laid out by the Reserve Bank in its circular. Every loan application is screened through the Credit Bureau and all the loans provided conform to the stipulations of the Central bank. The process efficiencies coupled with compliance to regulations and strict underwriting norms have ensured that the portfolio of Asirvad continues to remain very strong with the delinquencies being sub 5 bps. FINANCIAL YEAR 2013 - 14 FY 2013-14 has been a commendable year for Asirvad to say the least. With favorable liquidity conditions that prevailed during the entire year, the portfolio nearly doubled, profitability has more than doubled and all this has been achieved without any compromise on the portfolio quality. The stringent controls enforced by the organization have given a lot of comfort to the lenders and this resulted in new banks and financial institutions coming forward to lend to the company during the financial year under review. Andhra Bank, Vijaya bank, Bank of Maharashtra, IndusInd Bank, ING Vysya Bank, Pallavan Grama Bank and Reliance Capital lent to Asirvad for the first time during FY 2013-14. 16 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS RBI issued NBFC – MFI licenses during the financial year 2013-14 after a long period of inspection. Asirvad was one of the earliest institutions to obtain this license and this paved the way for banks to recommence funding to the sector. On account of the untiring work of our field staff, we were able to grow our portfolio by about 85% during 2013-14. Membership base almost doubled to more than 2 lakhs. During the year, we also expanded geographically and were able to originate portfolio in the states of Kerala, Orissa and Gujarat. However we mixed our expansion with caution since we wanted the processes to be well-entrenched before embarking upon a phase of high growth. The Following are some of the operational highlights: Particulars No. of states March 2014 March 2013 March 2012 March 2011 4 1 1 1 No. of branches 94 64 78 85 No. of districts 30 20 21 22 351 280 412 531 2,11,260 1,13,512 1,73,109 2,19,043 245 129 151 196 No. of employees No of active members Disbursements (In ` Crores) FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The financial year 2013-14 showed improvement on the financials as well and some of the key financial metrics are given below: Particulars March 2014 March 2013 March 2012 March 2011 8.07 8.04 8.04 8.04 Microfinance portfolio under management 188.80 102.46 79.37 101.09 Borrowings (` in Crores) 162.29 98.98 50.40 73.65 Total Revenue (` in Crores) 37.30 20.40 24.28 29.31 Profit after tax (` in Crores) 4.70 2.13 1.29 3.59 215.44 131.96 78.74 97.89 Paid-up capital Total Assets (` in Crores) CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES Mahatma Gandhi once remarked, “A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so”. No business or company 17 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 can survive bereft of its customers. And this is no different for a Microfinance Institution and is even truer in the current situation when RBI guidelines do not permit more than 2 institutions to lend to the same customer. Given that our customers come from the lower half of the societal pyramid and may not be sufficiently aware of the financial intricacies, we ensure that they are kept informed of all the details pertaining to the products being offered to them. We conduct compulsory 3-day training to them before the disbursal of the loan wherein they are kept informed about the profile of the company, terms and conditions of our products, pricing and other important issues. Also in line with the RBI guidelines, our Company interacts with the customers by having scheduled group meetings in a common place without causing any hindrance to the general public. We are one of the very few companies that still insist on a minimum attendance and consider attendance as a primary criterion for the grant of a higher cycle loan. HUMAN RESOURCES It is no doubt that the customers are the backbone of any business however the fact remains that the staffs of an organization are just as important as them. In Microfinance, which is a highly people oriented business, the primary challenge is to find a large pool of people with the right skill sets and aptitude, followed by additional challenges of retention, talent management and development. It is also necessary to enhance their skill and knowledge so that they become capable of assuming higher responsibilities in the future. And no doubt, the staff of a Microfinance Institution should also have a social bent of mind so that they can render their duties without any compromise on the social mission of the organization. As at the end of March 31, 2014, the number of employees in our Company stood at 351 across the 4 states that we have operations in. This is an increase of about 25% over the staff strength as at Mar ’13. The other challenge is to manage the attrition which is generally high amongst the Field Officers due to their tendency to shift employment regularly for higher monetary benefits to other companies or other lucrative industries. The compensation provided by our company is benchmarked to the market and we also conduct performance appraisal to retain the best talent and take steps to promote and reward high performing individuals. Out of the total employee strength mentioned above, about 60% of employees have been with us for more than 2 years, which indicates the high level of employee stickiness that has been the foundation on which the organization rests. TRAINING Training to staff is an essential prerequisite for the success of any organization. The field staffs in a Microfinance Institution, who are the face of the organization to the customers, will have to be trained adequately so that they are able to understand the financial requirements of the customers and take necessary steps to satisfy such needs. In addition to this, the staff should also be made to understand the policies and processes of the organization so that they are able to discharge their duties without compromising any of the controls laid down by the organization. 18 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 Our company imparts induction and also continuous training to our staff so that they have a clear understanding of the processes followed and are able to discharge their duties effectively and efficiently. The Company also equips them with necessary skills so that they stay prepared to shoulder additional responsibilities which will help in their career progression. We have also prepared a DVD (in vernacular language) containing the operational process in detail which is used to impart induction training to the staff. Also the incumbent field staff is placed under senior field staff and he / she accompanies the senior staff during field visits which will enable him/her to understand the process on the field under an able guidance. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY In today’s era of Information Technology, a company needs to have a strong technology platform in order to ensure smooth functioning. Given RBI imposed caps on Net Interest Margins, it becomes all the more essential to leverage the benefits of technology as a means of cost reduction. Since inception, our company had strongly relied on technology for capturing borrower data and updating the collections which has resulted in addressing the operational and reporting requirements in a better manner, reducing the man-hours of staff and productively utilizing the time of field staff. Periodic review of the system is done by the Management team and annual review of the adequacy of system controls is also done by our statutory auditors. This ensures that any changes required are made to the system without any delays and the system has adequate controls to prevent any errors of omission or commission. Given the humungous volume of data entered into the system, we have segregated our transactional and reporting data engines to ensure that there are no delays either on the transactional or MIS fronts. We have also hired dedicated server space in an external server for data storage in addition to a server hosted at Chennai, which acts as the backup. This ensures close to zero outage time and demonstrates our preparedness to meet any eventualities. TREASURY The functioning of a financial institution will be seriously hampered in the absence of adequate liquidity. This situation was very evident during the last 24 months or so when banks clamped up the liquidity to the sector in the aftermath of the AP crisis. However, we have found normalcy returning to the sector during the financial year under review and we managed to raise close to Rs. 256 Crores of funds from banks and other NBFCs during this year. This is about 74% higher than the quantum of funds mobilized in FY 2013. In addition to mobilizing funds in the form of term loans from banks and financial institutions, the company also participated in numerous Multi-Originator Securitization transactions structured by IFMR Capital during the year. The Company also made its first ever NCD issuance during the year. INTERNAL AUDIT Setting up efficient and robust processes is only one side of the coin; it is equally important to ensure that the processes are adhered to without any deviations. The Internal Audit function plays a major role in ensuring adherence to defined processes. The Company had migrated to an in-house audit team last year in order to bring in additional control mechanisms and flexibility to any changes that 19 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 may become necessary. We found the in-house mechanism to be much more effective as compared to an outsourced arrangement and we were also able to increase the scope of audit to cover documentation check in addition to process compliance. It was also observed that small issues, if any, could be identified and resolved then and there. As the auditors had previous experience with the processes and operations of the organization, they were not only able to identify and resolve issues but were also able to provide valuable suggestions on how issues can be avoided in the future. RISK MANAGEMENT Every organization is subject to the following risks - Credit risk (risk of delinquency), Operational risk (risk of inadequate processes), Liquidity risk (risk of paucity in funding availability) and Sector risk (political considerations and the like). The Risk Management framework of an organization serves to minimize the impact in the event of any risks threatening to compromise the organizational strength. Our company had put in adequate checks and balances to minimize these risk incidents and also to counter-act as and when these risks occur. Adherence to RBI guidelines also acts as a risk mitigant. Moreover all our processes are constantly evaluated and necessary changes are brought in from time to time. This helps weed away untoward incidents and manage credit and operational risks. The stringent borrower selection process ensures minimal credit risk and employee training coupled with a robust audit mechanism helps manage operational risk. Deduplication against Credit bureau and being one of the 2 lenders to a borrower helps prevent over leveraging and multiple indebtedness. Our Company has also constituted the ALCO (Asset-Liability Committee) which meets at periodic intervals to ensure that there is always a positive asset-liability pattern and funding is adequately available to meet the financial obligations that become due in the forthcoming months. The ALM of the organization is discussed in detail and necessary action taken to ensure that it is in line with standard requirements. Our company mandates strict adherence to regulatory guidelines comprising of KYC requirements, transparency, usage of credit bureau, etc, and thereby expends all efforts to ensure orderly functioning, which in a matured scenario, would be sufficient to address the sector risk. The registration of MFIs as NBFC – MFIs, constant supervision of the Reserve Bank, the likelihood of Microfinance Institutions Network being appointed as the Self-regulatory organization bode well for the Microfinance Institutions and should bring in the required supervisory framework to the Industry. The priority sector classification available to the banks for the loans lent to MFIs, fairly attractive interest rates charged on the facilities, low level of risk given the recent regulatory pronouncements should help the flow of liquidity to the sector. We are at a moment of resurgence for the Microfinance Industry. It would not be out of place to hope for the emergence of a stronger industry backed by the experiences of all past crises and we firmly believe that it is not a forlorn hope.

Compensation Committee Meeting was held on 6th June 2013 during the year under review. ASSET - LIABILITY COMMITTEE The risk management framework is perhaps one of the most important parameters that define the success of a financial services organization. A risk management programme establishes a process of identifying and assessing the major risks covering all areas of the institution’s activities. This includes all activities geared toward meeting its strategic, operational, reporting, and compliance objectives. Management then develops ways to manage and mitigate these risks by implementing a very strong system of internal controls. Management is accountable to the board of directors for the state of the institution’s risk management and is responsible for reporting to the board of directors its assessment of the institution’s risk and its efforts to manage and reduce this risk. The board of directors is responsible to ensure that management has implemented a risk management programme, that resources are allocated for risk management and internal controls, and that there is adequate oversight of the audit function as one of the board of director’s responsibilities. Asset Liability Committee is constituted to monitor the asset liability gap, strategize action to mitigate the risk associated, ensuring adherence to the limits set by the Board as well as for deciding the business strategy of the company (on the assets and liabilities sides) in line with the company’s budget and decided risk management objectives. During the year under review, ALCO met 12 times on 11th April 2013, 13th May 2013, 12th June 2013, 12th July 2013, 13th August 2013, 11th September 2013, 11th October 2013, 12th November 2013, 12th December 2013, 13th January 2014, 11th February 2014, 11th March 2014.

Raja Vaidyanathan) Chairman and Managing Director Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY 28 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. - Dalai Lama XIV Faith in action is Love and Love in action is Service - Mother Teresa ADF is based on the philosophy of achieving sustainable economic development through philanthropy. The inequality prevalent in our communities needs to be addressed if we are to achieve sustainable development. And practices like philanthropy, volunteerism and development of socially-oriented business products and services go a long way in facilitating this. We get a lot from the society and it is our responsibility to ensure that social inequalities are remedied to the best possible extent that lies within the realms of our capabilities. Through philanthropic contribution and support of employee volunteerism, Asirvad Development Foundation aims in advancing social change through educational, financial, humanitarian and health-related initiatives. Education is a tool to refine human mind and intellect. However it is very unfortunate that a lot of children are unable to afford education due to poverty. An educated child will turn out to be a worthy citizen of the country. One of the primary objectives of Asirvad Development Foundation is to foster the educational needs of the children who show a willingness to study but are prevented from doing so due to lack of resources. One of the programs undertaken during this year was the financial support provided to the underprivileged students to pursue their education. The Student Scholarship Scheme commenced in the year 2010 and continued this year as well. During 2013-14, ADF provided scholarships to 26 students amounting to Rs 1.30 lakhs. And it is very heartening to note the exemplary progress that these students had made and their keenness to pursue their education further with a view to becoming a responsible citizen of the country. As part of education fostering activities, the Company also funded the set up of an English lab during the current financial year. In the current scenario, English learning has become a mandatory requirement and students who lack knowledge of English are always at a disadvantage. In order 29 Seventh Annual Report 2013 - 14 to address, the Company had tied up with a trust called Disha Foundation and provided financial assistance for setting up 2 English Language Labs at Eureka School, Parameswaramangalam(near Kalpakkam) and Eureka School, Vembakkam(near Kanchipuram). We hope that this would pave the way for the enhanced knowledge of the children in these schools and they will be able to face the challenges of life with skill and confidence. Improving health care access for those with limited incomes and resources is one of the fundamental objects of the trust. Our trust facilitates low-income, uninsured, and underserved to have access to good health care. The Trust had conducted many health camps, eye camps during the last couple of years. This year, it was decided to provide assistance to needy individuals towards their surgery expenses so that they can get back their lost health. We are glad to inform that we have been able to fund the open heart surgery expenses of a two and half year child and even gladder to inform that the child is doing well after the surgery. Such activities provide a sense of fulfillment to us and enthuse us to work with renewed vigour for the holistic benefit of the society. In all these endeavours, we have received the generous and whole-hearted support and assistance from many individuals, institutions and organizations, both Government and Non-Government, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of them. Though our achievements may seem small when compared to the immensity and imminence of the tasks we have already committed ourselves to and the tasks awaiting and clamouring for our attention, we believe in the philosophy of tiny drops making a mighty ocean. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to the employees of Asirvad Microfinance Private Limited, who have been extending their support, financial and non-financial, in identifying the deserved people, seeking their concerns and updating the Management team and finally in ensuring that the benefits provided by the trust reach the beneficiaries in a timely manner. Our trust looks forward to and is geared up for the immense work awaiting us in the field of social service that uplifts the economically weaker section, awakens the depressed, comforts the deprived and rehabilitates the displaced. Our trust would continue to work towards the upliftment of the economically weaker section and is confident of valuable contributions from all concerned in furthering its objectives of catering to the health, education, science, culture, art, peace, philosophy and friendship. 30 Sd/- S.V.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
