REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
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.
OPINION
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
DOMINION HOUSE, MUTHITHI ROAD
P.O. BOX 46671 - 00100
NAIROBI
DATE:....
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Smallholder Irrigation Scheme Development Organisation (SISDO) set
out on pages 6 to 17 which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st December 2007, and the income statement, the statement of
changes in capital funds and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory notes and have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were
necessary for the purposes of our audit.
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the NGO Coordination Act. This responsibility includes designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making
accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. The NGO Coordination Act also requires the directors to ensure that
the organisation maintains proper books of accounts which are in agreement with the balance sheet and profit and loss account.
Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An
audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatements of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we considered the internal control relevant to the
organisation'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 organisation's internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
the directors,
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of financial affairs of the organisation at 31st December
2007 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards and the NGO Coordination Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS). The financial
statements are presented in Kenya Shillings (Kshs) and are prepared under the historical cost basis of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reported period. It also requires the directors to exercise judgement in the process of applying the company's
accounting policies. These policies have been consistently applied during the year unless otherwise stated.
b) Revenue Recognition
Interest on loans is recognised when the amount is received with effect from 1st January 2007. Prior to this date, interest was
being recognised on accrual basis.
c) Change of an accounting policy
During the year under review, the management considered it more prudent to recognise as income interest on loans only when
this is actually received by the organisation. This is a major departure from prior reported periods whereby interest on loan
earned but not yet received was recognised as income receiveable for the period. The decision was informed by the experience
that much of this interest receiveable is not subsequently collected. The effect of this change was to write off the deferred
interest income amounting to Kshs 25,655,000 against the loans receivable as on 31/12/2007.

d) Property & Equipment
Property & Equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a reducing
balance method to write down their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives using
the following annual rates:
Rate
Land Nil
Buildings 2.5%
Office equipment, furniture & fittings 12.5%
Computers 33%
Gains and losses on disposal of property & equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are taken
into account in determining operating profit.
e) Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets comprise the cost of purchased computer software programs. Costs incurred on computer software are
initially accounted for at cost as intangible assets and subsequently at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised on a reducing balance basis over their expected useful life of 3 years.
f) Employee Benefits
The organisation and all its employees contribute to the National Social Securiy Fund (NSSF), which is a defined contribution
scheme registered under the National Social Security Act. The company's obligations under the scheme are limited to
specific contributions legislated from time to time and are currently limited to a maximum of Kshs 200 per employee per
month. The company's obligations are recognised in the income statement as they fall due.

10
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
g) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the entity's balance sheet when the institution has become a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
Loans and receivables originated by the organisation
Loans and receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based on the review of all outstanding
amounts at the year end. In addition, general provisions are maintained based on managements evaluation of the portfolio of loans to SISDO's customers
and other exposures in respect of losses which, although not specifically identified, are known from experience to be present in any such portfolio.
When a loan is deemed uncollectable it is written off against the related bad debt provision and/ collateral deposits from the customer held by the organisation.
Subsequent recoveries of loans that have been written off are credited to the income statement.
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are stated at their nominal value.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing loans and bank overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable
on settlement or redemption, are accounted for on an accrual basis and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not
settled in the period in which they arise. Borrowing costs are charged to the income statement when incurred.
h) Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its financial assets, tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is
any indication that those assets have suffered an impairement loss. If any such indications exists, the recoverable amounts of the assets are estimated and
an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

i) Critical Judgements and Estimates
In the process of applying the company's accounting policies, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial period. 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. These are dealt with below:
Equipment
Critical estimates are made by the directors in determining the useful lives and depreciation rates for equipment.
Impairement
If an indication exists that the company's assets have suffered an impairement loss at the balance sheet date, the directors estimate the asset's
recoverable amount.
j) Cash & Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the cashflow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and bank balances.
k) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year. In particular, comparative figures
have been adjusted to comply with the presentation as per the International Financial Reporting Standards.

18 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The organisation's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and the effects of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The organisations overall risk management
programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse
effects on its financial performance, but the organisation does not hedge any risks.
Risk management is carried out by the management of the organisation in accordance with policies approved
by the Board of Directors.
Foreign exchange risk
The organisation's operations are predominantly in Kenya, where the currency has remained relatively stable
against major convertible currencies.A significant portion of the organisations borrowings and grants are
denominated in foreign currencies, and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various
currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future
commercial transactions, and recognised assets and liabilities.
Credit risk
The organisation takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counter party will be unable to pay
amounts in full, when due. The organisation structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits
on amounts of risk accepted in relation to one borrower or group of borrowers. Such risks are monitored on a
revolving basis and subject to annual or more frequent review.
The organisation's credit risk is concentrated on low-income earners of the economy engaged in smallholder
crop and dairy farming, agribusiness and other micro-enterprises. Exposure to credit risk is managed
through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital
repayment obligations and by changing lending limits where appropriate. Exposure to credit risk is also
managed in part by obtaining collateral and group guarantees.

18 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (cont'd)
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash balances to cover anticipated deposit
refunds to exiting customers and loan repayment instalments that fall due. Excess liquid funds are invested
in assets that can be easily liquidated.
Operational Risk
The company is exposed to operational risk which is associated with human error, system failures and
inadequate procedures and controls. The company ensures that there is an effective, integrated
operational risk management framework that incorporates a clearly defined organizational structure, with
defined roles and responsibilities for all aspects of operational risk.
19 Restatement of prior year comparatives
This relates to corrections made to opening balances of various items so as to fairly state them in the
current year.
20 Contingent Liabilities
A former employee sued the organisation fpr alleged wrong computation of his terminal benefits. The matter
is pending in court and the expected contingent liability of Kshs. 257,850, has been provided for.
(2006: Kshs. 257,850)
21 Foreign Currency
Transactions during the year in foreign currencies are translated at the rates ruling at the dates of the
transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the year are translated
at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on exchange are dealt with in
the income statement in the year in which they arise.
22 Incorporation
The organisation is domiciled and registered in Kenya as a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) under
the Non- Governmental Organisations Coordination Act, 1990.
23 Currency
The financial statements are expressed in Kenya Shillings(Kshs).
