RISK IDENTIFIED
Credit Risk
The Committee shall be responsible for carrying out a regular review of the credit portfolio against credit risk appetitetargets (e.g. split of exposures between domestic and international activities, retail and corporate investors, andbetween tl~e different sectors of the economy).
In that respect, the report shall put the emphasis on credit concentration and large exposures, risk profiles of thedifferent portfolios, and asset quality of the different portfolios, measured though non-performing rates.
Furthermore, the main impaired exposures shall be disclosed to the Board with a particular focus on residual risksafter taking into consideration risk mitigating factors such as the net realizable value of collaterals, and correspondingprovisions which are to be validated by the Committee prior to submission to the Board.
Market Risk
The Committee shall review the market risk against market risk appetite approved by the Board.
It shall thus be responsible for regularly reviewing the split between the different market risk categories, that is,between short-term, medium-term, long-term borrowings.
Market Risk also covers liquidity risks, whereas in that respect, the Committee shall monitor the different liquiditytargets (such as liquid asset ratio, maturity gaps, loan to deposits ratio, depositor’s concentration, etc) against setrisk appetite.
Operational Risk
The Committee shall review the assessments and reports on operational risk against the risk tolerances approved bythe Board and ensure that the Company’s Business Continuity Plan is up-to-date.
Operational risk includes technical, human resources, security, and business continuity risks.

• Integration of internal control and risk management
The system of internal control, which is embedded in all key operations, provides reasonable rather thanabsolute assurance that the Company’s business objectives will be achieved within the risk tolerance levelsdefined by the Board. The effectiveness of the internal control systems (including financial, operational,compliance and risk management) are normally reviewed quarterly by the Committee and the review covers allinternal control systems.
• Assurance on the effectiveness of the risk management process
Regular management reporting, which provides a balanced assessment of key risks and controls, is an importantcomponent of board assurance.

Macroeconomic overview
OverviewThe operating environment has remained very challenging over the past year. Although global economyhas witnessed a slight improvement, there are still enduring vulnerabilities ranging from debt overhang inadvanced economies and increasing corporate leverage in emerging economies to long-term unemploymentand low investment across the world. To add insult to injury, the surprise vote of the United Kingdom toleave the European Union has cast more shadow on business confidence worldwide. Given our over-reliability on exports to traditional markets, local economic activities have therefore remained subdued.However, the services sector has performed well, more specifically tourism and financial services.
The International ContextGlobal economic recovery has remained moderate from a country and regional perspective. In the US, whileeconomic activity, underpinned by buoyant consumer confidence, staged a mild pick-up in the secondquarter of the year, further dollar depreciation, tepid global demand, weaker business sentiment as well asgrowing uncertainties surrounding the November Presidential elections could offset these gains. Accordingto IMF estimates, GDP growth should drop to 2.2% this year before rising to 2.7% in 2017. In the euro area,barring the better-than-expected growth during the first quarter of 2016, economic prospects remainrelatively weak against the backdrop of subdued net exports, persistantly low inflation and longstandingissues in the banking sector. Given these developments, the IMF forecasts that growth will remain low at1.6% in 2016 and could even be go down to 1.4% in 2017. Turning to emerging market and developingeconomies, performance has been diverse with China posting stronger-than-expected real activityindicators, reflecting renewed policy support. On the heels of recent pickup in global oil prices, Brazilshowed preliminary indications of an easing off from recession while Russia registered a relativestabilisation of its economy. India is poised to grow at a robust pace of 7.5 per cent on the back ofeconomic reforms. With regard to sub-Saharan Africa, the region exhibits circumstantial economicdifficulties, with slower growth at 1.6% in 2016, before edging to 3.3% in 2017. That said, while SouthAfrica may record growth of only 0.6 per cent, weighed down by low commodity prices, increased policyuncertainty and tighter monetary and fiscal policies, the growth picture is rosier upon excluding Nigeriaalso. Indeed, real GDP growth rates would stand at 4.4% and 5.5% for 2016 and 2017 respectively,reflecting hence good economic fundamentals.
The Mauritian EconomyAfter attaining a GDP growth rate of 3.5% in 2015, the Mauritian economy should remain in challengingterritories this year, against the backdrop of a persistant delicate global environment as well as enduringdomestic structural weaknesses. Indeed, according to estimates made by MCB, growth forecast will remainat 3.8%, a slight improvement from last year. Looking over at the past 15 years, economic growthperformance has been restrained in recent times, averaging 3.6% over the period 2011-15, compared to4.4% in 2000-10, notably reflecting sluggish investment trends and subdued exports.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DOCUMENT - YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
1. Macroeconomic overview (cont’d)
The Mauritian Economy (cont’d)
From a sectorial point of view, the tertiary sector, mainly the services sector, performed well in general andthe main contributors are Accomodation and Food service activities (+9.3%), Information andCommunication (+6.9%) and Financial and Insurance activities (+5.2%). The contribution of the‘Accommodation and food service activities’ sector to growth doubled in 2015 in the wake of a more openair access policy and targeted promotion campaigns. Tourist arrivals for 2015 stood at 1,151,723 andtourism earnings are estimated at about Rs50.2 billion. For 2016, according to MCB estimates, theAccomodation and Food sector should continue to perform well, duly supported by intensified promotionaland market diversification endeavours. For its part, the ICT sector is expected to sustain its performanceduring 2016 while the Financial and Insurance sector, in spite of the revision of the India-Mauritius DTAA,should continue on its track during the current year thanks to sound fundamentals and further sectordeepening. In the secondary sector, performance remains weaker-than-expected in general, especiallyConstruction (-4.7%) and Manufacturing (+0.2%). Within the Manufacturing sector, while Food Processingposted a satisfactory performance at 3.9%, expansion in Sugar (-7.2%) and Textile (-2.9%) sub-sectorsremain sluggish.
On account of the above soft economic landscape and existing labour market imperfections, the nationwideunemployment rate is likely to remain high at 7.7%. Amid low energy and food prices, soft global economicactivity, subdued domestic demand and a fairly stable rupee, inflation maintained its downward trajectoryto stand at 0.9% in June 2016, compared to 1.3% in December 2015 . Reflecting the evolution of majorcurrencies in international markets and domestic demand and supply conditions, in March 2016, the rupeeappreciated by 4.5 per cent vis-à-vis the Pound sterling but depreciated by 1.1 per cent and 3.2 per centagainst the US dollar and euro, respectively, compared to a year ago.
Looking ahead, the domestic economy is expected to improve to 4.2% in 2017, assuming a progressivemending of the global economy and the prompt operationalisation of articulated budgetary measures,complemented by enhanced public-private collaboration. Specifically, economic growth will be fuelled bygrowth in public investment to strengthen the infrastructure set-ups such as land transport, airport and portamenities, water storage capacity and supply upgrades, increased power generation and distribution set-upsas well as social housing and community developments. In parallel, the economy is set to benefit from arebound in private investment, driven mainly by growth in the residential segment, backed by the recentmonetary policy action.
The Banking SectorThe banking sector remained resilient despite negative spillover effects that have emanated from thecollapse of a large financial conglomerate, the BAI group. Banks were financially sound and adequatelycapitalised with capital adequacy ratio at a comfortable level of 17.9%. However, during the year 2015,profitability of the banking sector has gradually declined with Return on Equity and Return on Assets edgingat 1.2% and 12.1% respectively as at 31st December 2015 compared to 1.4% and 15.4% for the previousperiod. While he total assets of the banking sector increased by 3.3 per cent only at end-December 2015,Liquid Assets to Total Assets rose from 24.1% to 27.2% over the period, indicating that the banking systemremained flushed with excess liquidity. The ratio of NPL to Gross Loans also increase from 4.9% as at 3 15t
December 2014 to reach 7.2% as at 3lS~ December 2015, emanating mainly from credit extended outsideMauritius. The ratio of impaired credit to total credit extended in Mauritius rose from 6.8 per cent as at end-December2014 to 7.9 per cent as at end-December 2015. On a sectoral basis, Traders and Construction arethe most affected while in the tourism sector, there were some signs of improvement. The coverage ratioimproved from 37.3 per cent as at end-December 2014 to 48.7 per cent as at end-December 2015, indicatingthat the level of provisioning went up to cater for the increasing NPL.

1. Macroeconomic overview (cont’d)
The Non-Bank Deposit Taking SectorNon-bank deposit-taking institutions (NBDTIs) remained sound, stable and relatively liquid during theperiod under review. These institutions were well-capitalized with a Capital Adequacy Ratio of 29% as atend-December 2015 and their activities continued to grow steadily. Indeed, Total Assets grew by 7.5% overthe year ended December 2015, with both loan and leasing facilities following the same pace of growth overthe period under review. On the liabilities side, deposits comprised 58.9 per cent of the total and recordeda lower y.o.y growth as at end-December 2015 compared to the last corresponding period (+9.3%).
Over the period ended 31st December 2015, NBDTIs remained relatively liquid. The liquid assets to totalassets ratio increased from 12.7 per cent a year ago to 12.8 per cent as at end-December 2015. The liquidassets to total deposits ratio tracked the same pace and improved to 21.7 per cent compared with a ratio of21.4 per cent in the previous year.
Credit extended by NBDTIs went up by 16.1 per cent as at end-December 2015. Credit granted by NBDTIswas mainly directed to the personal and construction sectors, with shares of 64.5 per cent and 13.8 per cent,respectively.
Asset quality ofNBDTIs remain stable, with the ratio of NPL to total credit staying at 6 per cent as at end-December2015. Among the main sectors, the construction sector faced the highest NPL ratio which stoodat 24.3 per cent as at end-December 2015. While credit extended was mostly concentrated to the personalsector, the NPL ratio at end-December 2015 stood at 2.0 per cent compared to 1.9 per cent as at end-December 2014. The coverage ratio of NBDTIs dropped from 38.0 per cent to 36.7 per cent as at end-December2015, indicating an increased vulnerability to their exposures.
The Leasing Sector
After a period of consolidation, the number of players on the market remained stable. On the supply side,the vehicles’ market increased by 4.5% over the year ended December 2015 compared to 4.9% for the lastcorresponding period. In terms of type of vehicles, ‘Cars’ has the lion share with an increase of 8%. On thecontrary, vehicles such as Vans, Buses, Lorries and other heavy duty vehicles increased modestly by 1%,reflecting below-par performance in the transport and construction sectors.
On the demand side, whilst requests for financing of vehicles, particularly cars remain satisfactory, we havenoted a decline in requests fOr financing of equipment in general, the reasons being the abolition of thegovernment-backed leasing schemes and the low level of investment in general. As a result, the leasingmarket continued to be marked by aggressive campaigns and price war as well as excess liquidity leadingto compression on profit margins.
With the potential re-introduction of government-backed leasing schemes as announced in the budget, weexpect a pick-up in the financing of equipment in the manufacturing sector. A further boost in the leasingsector could hopefully come from public investment in infrastructure as announced in the budget.

2 Review of Operations
This financial year was marked by the implementation of a new leasing software. Nevertheless, we havenot neglected the business development side as evidenced by participation in roadshows with our businesspartners to promote our brand and active presence on the field.
Despite challenging economic environment and focus on the new software implementation , our leaseportfolio has increased by 6%. However, our fmancing to the two major market segments has not changedmaterially as depicted in table below:
Retail 15.75 17.40 17.03 16.81
Business 84.25 82.60 82.97 83.19
During the year under review, we also revisited our customer service structure to cater for the requirementsof various customer segments. The operational processes and the management of risks associated with ouractivities have however not been neglected. Human capital management remained high on the agenda withthe provision of specialised and targeted training to staff, permanent communication and regular teamactivities
On the whole, we remained committed to duly assisting our customers, backed by effective riskmanagement practices, operational efficiency measures and adequate investment in people whileunleashing synergistic possibilities with the various functions of the MCB Group.

b) Analysis of results
In spite of a very challenging operating environment, Total Assets increased by 4.9%, with the Total Leaseportfolio increasing by the similar magnitude (+6.1%). On the other side, Total Deposits increased by 15.4%followed by a decrease of 28% in borrowings, reflecting our renewed reliance on traditional deposits toraise funds. After having recorded a sustainable growth over the past years, Net profit before tax declinedby 32% during this year to reach Rs 51.8, mainly due to compression on margins, accelerated depreciationcosts related to our legacy system, higher impairment costs, as well as an exceptional write off on assets.

c) Revenue growth
Interest Income rose by 7.2% to stand at Rs 304.7m while Total Interest expense grew by 11.6%. As a result,Net Interest Income decreased from Rs 95 .8m to Rs 94.4m as compared to last fmancial year.
Operating Lease Income, afler taking into account related depreciation charges decreased by 7.96 % overthe year while Processing Fees dropped by 12.3% on account of cut-throat competition and limited businessopportunities. However, Other Operating Income increased by 41% to reach Rs 9.4m.
As a result, Operating Income net of related depreciated charges increased by only 2.8% over the year. Themain cause of this performance is the continuing compression on margins resulting from the twin effects ofmobilisation of higher cost of deposits and deploying leases at lower yields in a declining interest rateenvironment.
d) Cost control
At the same tinie, Operating Costs has increased by Rs 18.1 m, driven by higher impairment costs (+ Rs8.8m for specific provisions and + Rs 6.8m for portfolio provisions), accelerated depreciation costs relatedto our legacy core leasing system (+Rs 4.5m) and increase in other Operating costs (+Rs 3 .5m).

e) Credit exposure
In terms of industry fmancing, our overall exposure remained stable. In line with the economicperformance of the country, we have however noted an increase in the Manufacturing and Services sectorsas well as a decrease in the Construction sector.
The exposure in sectors in terms of percentage of total lease portfolio is summarised as follows:
.. .. ~.
1) Asset type analysis
For the year under review, our Cars portfolio has remained stable at 51.6%, while our financing of Buses,Vans & Lorries increased from 6.9% to 9.5%. The two categories reflect our financing ofvehicles in general,which still represents the lion share of the portfolio (61.1%). The Industrial Equipment portfolio pursues itsgrowth pattern, to increase by 10% to reach 26% of the portfolio. This performance indeed reflects ourcommitment to support and fmance the Business sector at large. Otherwise, our asset mix remains more orless stable, with a decrease in Civil Engineering Equipment fmancing, largely explained by a slowdown inthe Construction sector.
The main assets being financed, both in % and in value terms are depicted below:

g) Credit Quality
Given the challenging economic situation, the level of Non Performing Leases has increased significantlyby 55% over the year from Rs 66m to Rs 1 03m. In view of this situation, it was deemed appropriate toincrease the level of Specific provisions to Rs 1 7.5m while Portfolio provisions increased in line with thegrowth in lease portfolio. As a further prudential measure, after assessing the level of specific provisionsmade during the year and given the increase in Non Performing Leases, the company has provided for anadditional Rs5m to the General Risk Reserve.

Ratios
Totalprovisions to Lease For~’folio (%) 1.27% 0.97% 0.92%
NFL to Lease por~’folio (%) 2.37% 1.62% 1.13%
Overall, the quality of our portfolio has deteriorated slightly as evidenced by the ratio of NPL to leaseportfolio which increased slightly to 2.37%, up from 1.62% last year. The Board is satisfied with the abovemeasures as well as the current level of both the specific and portfolio provisions.
The specific provision is determined based on the company’s best estimate of impairment in respect ofBalance sheet items in line with lAS 39 while portfolio provision is calculated on the remaining portfoliowhich has not been assessed individually for impairment.
h) Funding
Following the abolition of the government-backed leasing schemes, the funding structure has changed overthe past two years with higher reliance on traditional deposits. Indeed, while our lease portfolio hasincreased from Rs 4.1 bn at June 2015 to Rs 4.3 bn this financial year (+6.1%), borrowings dropped fromRs 1,085 million at June 2015 to reach Rs 787m at June 2016. At the same time, Total Deposits grew by15.4% over the period.

j) Concluding remarks
With the replacement of the Core Leasing System behind us, our main strategic focus will be to reverse thetendency of falling profits. Although the environment will remain challenging, we trust that businessopportunities will arise through the potential re-introduction of the government-backed leasing fmancingschemes and public investment in infrastructure as announced in the recent budget. By optimising furtherour sales network and increasing our presence on the field, we also anticipate to grow our lease portfolio.On the other hand, thanks to tight liquidity management and close debtors’ monitoring, we intend to upliftour risk management capabilities in view of improving our operating efficiency. The key to the successfulimplementation of the above avenues will however be proper leadership development and increasedemployee engagement.
4 Capital Structure
As a non bank deposit taking institution, we are required to comply with the following:a) Maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 10%. The ratio as at 30th June 2016 was 10.46%.b) Maintain liquid assets equivalent to not less than 10% of deposit liabilities. The statement of liquid

Where relevant, the Company is still evaluating the effect of these Standards, amendments to publishedStandards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective, on the presentation of its fmancial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain criticalaccounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applyingthe Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree ofjudgement or complexity, orareas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the fmancial statements, are disclosed inNote3.3.
(b) Plant and equipment
All plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost and stated at historical cost less depreciation.Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset asappropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flowto the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method to write off the cost of the assets to their residualvalues over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Per annumOffice equipment 20%Computer equipment 30%Furniture & fittings 20%Motor vehicles 15%-20%Plant and equipment 15%-33.33%
FINLEASE COMPANY LIMITED14
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(b) Plant and equipment (cont’d)
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end ofeach reporting period.
Assets under operating leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives net of any residual value.
Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is writtendown immediately to its recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposal of plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds withcarrying amount and are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(c) Intangible assets
Computer SoftwareAcquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bringto use the specific software and are amortised over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Per annumComputer Software 1O%-30%
(d) Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determinewhether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any suchindication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of theimpairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amountof the asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to selland value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level forwhich there are separately identifiable cash flows.
(e) Accounting for leases
Finance leasesWhen assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognisedas a receivable, the amount being equal to the net investment in the leases after specific provision forbad and doubtful debt in respect of all identified impaired leases in the light of periodical reviews. Thedifference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearnedfmance income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method,which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.
Operating leasesAssets leased out under operating leases are included in plant and equipment in the statement offmancial position. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent withsimilar fixed assets. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Material leasing arrangementsThe leasing contracts carry interest rates varying from 5.5% to 14.25% for MUR denominated contracts,2.75% to 5.97% for foreign currency denominated contracts. The contracts periods range between 1and 7 years and have varying options at the end of the term. The types of assets financed are mostlymotor vehicles and equipment. Lease facilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assetrevert to the lessor in the event of default.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(e) Accounting for leases (cont’d)
Assets repossessed pending disposalsAssets repossessed from non performing clients pending disposals are stated at their net realisable value.
(f) Revenue recognition
Revenue consists of gross rental income receivable under finance leases and income receivable fromoperating leases net of value added taxes and discounts, afler deducting the relevant amounts forcancelled leases.
Other revenues earned by the company are recognised on the following bases:• Interest income as it accrues (taking into account the effective yield on the asset) unless
collectibility is in doubt.
(g) Financial assets
(a) Categories offinancial assetsFinancial assets are recognised on the company’s statement of financial position when the companyhas become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company classifies itsfmancial assets as held-to-maturity investments. The classification depends on the purpose forwhich the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financialassets at initial recognition.
(i) Held-to-maturity investmentsHeld-to-maturity investments are non-derivative fmancial assets with fixed or determinablepayments and fixed maturities that the company’s management has the positive intention andability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are recognised initially at fair value plusdirectly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturityinvestments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less anyimpairment.
(b) Recognition and measurementPurchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which theCompany commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially measured at fair valueplus transaction costs.
The annual amortisation of any discount or premium on the acquisition of a held-to-maturitysecurity is aggregated with other investment income receivable over the term of the instrument sothat the revenue recognised in each period represents a constant yield on the investment.
(c) DerecognitionFinancial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments haveexpired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks andrewards of ownership.
(d) Assets carried at amortised costThe Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidencethat a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group offinancial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence ofimpairment as a result of one or more events that occurred afier the initial recognition of the asset(a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows ofthe financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOIJNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(g) Financial assets (cont’d)
(d) Assets carried at amortised cost (cont’d)
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors isexperiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments.the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and whereobservable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows,such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference betweenthe asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding futurecredit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effectiveinterest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognisedin profit or loss.
If~, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can berelated objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as animprovement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment lossis recognised in profit or loss.
(h) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised costusing the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that theCompany will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Theamount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s acrrying amount and the present value ofestimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of provision isrecognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(i) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost usingthe effective method.
(j) Borrowings
Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value being their issue proceeds net of transaction costsincurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds(net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensiveincome over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defersettlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period.
(k) Equity instruments
Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(1) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and balances held with banks.

(m) Share capital
Ordinary sharesOrdinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of newshares are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
(n) Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss,except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly inequity.
The current income tax charged is based on taxable income for the year calculated on the basis of taxlaws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arisingbetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the financial statements.However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in atransaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neitheraccounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted atthe reporting date and are expected to apply in the period when the related deferred income tax assetis realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will beavailable against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when: the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a resultof past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will berequired to settle the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertaintiessurrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle thepresent obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of thetime value of money is material).
(p) Deposits from customers
Deposits from customers are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost. They are initiallymeasured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost.

(q) Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the company’sfinancial statements in the period in which the dividends are declared.
(r) Impairment of leases
Allowance for credit losses consists of specific and portfolio provision for credit losses and isdetermined based on the company’s best estimate of impairment in respect of statement of financialposition items.
An allowance for impairment is established if there is objective evidence that the company will not beable to collect the amount due according to the original contractual terms of the lease. The amount ofthe provision is the difference between the carrying amount at the time the lease is considered doubtfuland the recoverable amount.
The provision amount also covers losses when there is objective evidence that probable losses arepresent in components of the lease portfolio at the end of the reporting period. They have beenestimated based on the future specific losses inherent in the leases and upon historical patterns oflosses in each component and the economic climate in which the clients operate. When a lease isuncollectible, it is written off against the related provision for impairment; subsequent recoveries arecredited to the provision for losses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Statutory and regulatory loss reserve requirements that exceed these amounts are dealt with in thegeneral risk reserve as an appropriation of retained earnings.
(s) Foreign currencies
(a) Functional and presentation currencyItems included in the financial statements are measured using Mauritian rupees, the currency of theprimary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financialstatements are presented in Mauritian rupees, which is the company functional and presentationcurrency.
(b) Transactions and balancesForeign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange ratesprevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from thesettlement of such transactions and from the translation of year-end exchange rates of monetaryassets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit orloss and other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated usingthe exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
3.1 Financial Risk Factors
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of fmancial risks, including:- Credit risk;- Interest rate risk;- Liquidity risk; and- Currency risk.
A description of the significant risk factors is given below together with the risk management policiesapplicable.
(a) Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a fmancialinstrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s trade andlease receivables. The amounts presented in the statement of fmancial position are net of allowancesfor doubtful receivables, estimated by management based on prior experience and the current economicenvironment.
The Company has policies in place to ensure that leases are granted to customers with appropriatecredit history. The Company has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one fmancialposition.
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large numberof counterparties and customers.
Lease facilities to customers are monitored and the company has policies in place to identify defaultsand recover amounts due. Leases granted are also effectively secured as the rights to the leased assetsrevert to the lessor in the event of default. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date isthe fair value of the receivables. Specific provision and portfolio provision comply with requirementsof the Bank of Mauritius.
An analysis of the financial assets that are individually determined to be impaired is given below:
2016 2015 Collateral heldRs’OOO R&000
Heavy Equipment,Finance leases 103,211 66,402 Vehicles and other
103,211 66,402 Equipment
The Company also holds fixed and floating charges on assets for some exposures.The fair value of collaterals for the impaired facilities amounts to Rs 82.61 m for 2016 (2015: 61 .93m).The lease facilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased asset revert to the lessor in theevent of default.
Impaired assets are identified on the basis where there are objective evidence that the Companywill not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the lease agreement.A specific provision of Rs. 17.5 million (2015: Rs. 8.7 million) has been made on the impairedreceivables.

(c) Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associatedwith its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, theavailability of funding and the ability to close out market positions.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the company’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cashflow and does not foresee any major liquidity risk over the next two years.

A 3% fluctuation in the exchange rate of EURO/GBP/USD against the rupee will have an impact ofRs.302k (2015: Rs.700k) on the results of the company. The company borrows in foreign currency togrant foreign currency facilities. The risk of currency mismatch is thus not significant.
(e) Fair values of financial assets and liabilitiesThe carrying amounts of bank balances, trade and other receivables, borrowings, trade and otherpayables, dividends approximate their fair values. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustmentsof trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.

Theactual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a numberof factors (maintenance, future market conditions, projected disposal values, among other things).
