REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS The Board of Directors is pleased to present this report on the first half of its fifth year of operations.

The net assets of the Fund have increased by 1.5% in the period from EUR 17 million to EUR 17.3 million. Investments in microfinance have grown by 12% from EUR 12.5 million at the last year end to EUR 14 million. This growth in the portfolio reflects the Fund’s focus on its main priority during this period which has been to reduce its excess liquidity, thereby maximising social impact and improving financial performance. Cash and cash equivalents have been reduced, and now represent 19.7% of net assets compared to 25% at the year end. This trend is expected to continue for the remainder of the year. Returns to investors for the six-month period stand at 1.3% (Class A), 1.8% (Class B) and 1.3% (Class C).

Corporate governance At the AGM of the Fund held on 3 July 2014, the shareholders approved the appointment of Raoul Stefanetti (BIL) to the Board. The shareholders also approved the appointment of KPMG sàrl as independent auditor, in replacement of BDO Audit S.A. which has held the appointment since the Fund’s inception.

At the Board meeting on 14 July, Marc Elvinger proposed to step down from the position of Vice-Chairman, and the Board approved the appointment of Hedda Pahlson-Möller to that position.

In May 2014, the Fund’s revised Prospectus was approved, and a notice was issued to Shareholders outlining the main changes. There are no disclosures required to be made by the Fund in relation to changes in the Prospectus since May 2014.

The Board of Directors is responsible, in accordance with the terms of the Articles of Association and the Prospectus for the overall management and control of the Fund and for implementing the Investment Objectives and Policy of the Fund. The day to day management of the Fund has been delegated to Kaspar Wansleben, Executive Director. The Board has selected and retained ADA (Appui au Développement Autonome a.s.b.l.) as its investment adviser to provide the services of identification, evaluation and selection of investment and disinvestment opportunities as well as the review, supervision and monitoring of its microfinance investments.

The Board has established the following committees whose role is to support and make recommendations to the Board in their areas of activity.

The Investment Committee, which has five members, considers recommendations from the investment adviser on investment and disinvestment opportunities.

The Risk Committee, which has three members, provides direction, advice and oversight with regard to LMDF’s risk management and reporting framework, including risk policies, processes and controls.

The Marketing Committee, which has two members, oversees the Fund’s marketing strategy including the development of the shareholder base.

The Employment Committee, which has three members, reviews the objectives, performance and remuneration of management.

The Board has resolved that membership of the above Committees may be open to non-directors on a limited basis, to the extent that the majority of the members of each Committee are directors of the Fund.

The members of the Board do not receive any remuneration as directors, apart from the reimbursement of expenses incurred for Fund business and approved in advance by the Board.

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIMFD” or “the Directive”) was transposed into Luxembourg law on 12 July 2013 and became effective on 22 July 2013. In October 2013, the Fund has registered as a self managed Fund; as the net assets of the Fund remain below the threshold of EUR 100 million, the AIFMD reporting requirements for the Fund are limited.

The Board wishes to thank the shareholders for their continued support.

Vision LMDF aims to contribute to the alleviation of poverty by supporting organisations that empower people and stimulate entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the most excluded. The Fund facilitates access to responsible finance by building sustainable links between investors, microfinance institutions and ultimate beneficiaries.

Mission In order to realize its Vision, LMDF • Constitutes an attractive investment proposition by balancing stable financial returns to investors with the provision of responsible financial services to the poor.

• Specializes in facilitating the growth of promising emerging microfinance institutions which address the financial needs of marginalized communities and individuals in developing countries.

• Enables the development of micro-entrepreneurs in areas where unmet needs are largest, particularly among women, youth and rural populations.

• Is accessible to public, institutional and retail investors and is accountable for reaching both social and financial objectives, and transparent in its reporting.

RÉSUMÉ / ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Le rapport semestriel du Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund se penche sur un thème d'actualité, qui est la microfinance et les défis environnementaux des pays en développement. LMDF a, en 2013, fait le choix de financer Fondesurco au Pérou, une institution de microfinance (IMF) offrant des prêts pour des produits écologiques à ses clients. Ce financement du Fonds leur a ainsi permis d'amplifier la commercialisation de leur deux premiers produits: les chauffeeau solaires et les fours énergétiquement efficaces.

Au cours de ces six dernier mois, le Fonds a continué ses activités d'investissement. Trois crédits supplémentaires ont été attribués, dont deux augmentations du financement des partenaires existants et un en faveur d'une nouvelle IMF. La Mongolie se rajoute désormais au portefeuille du LMDF. Ainsi, comparé au début d’année, 81% de la valeur nette du Fonds sont investi en microfinance. Au 30 septembre, LMDF a 57% de ses investissements en Amérique latine, 20% en Afrique, 21% en Asie et 2% dans les pays développés.

Dans l'ensemble, la valeur nette du Fonds, qui est à 17,3 millions d'euros, n'a pas évoluée de façon importante pendant les derniers six mois, alors que le volume d'investissement en microfinance du LMDF a augmenté de 12% pour atteindre 14,3 millions d'euros contre 12,5 millions en début d'année.

Le résultat financier des six derniers mois s'est considérablement amélioré comparé à l'année précédente. Les principales raisons sont: les investissements supplémentaires dans les IMF et l'augmentation du dollar par rapport à l'euro. Le rendement semestriel est de 1,3% pour la classe A, 1,8% pour la classe B et 1,3% pour la classe C.

Der Halbjahresbericht des Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund widmet sich einem aktuellen Thema: Schnittstelle zwischen der Mikrofinanz und den ökologischen Herausforderungen in Entwicklungsländern. LMDF refinanziert seit 2013 das Kreditportfolio energieeffizienter Produkte der Mikrofinanzinstitution (MFI) Fondesurco in Peru. LMDF ermöglicht der MFI bis zu 2000 Pionierprodukte zu finanzieren: Solare Wassererwärmung und energieeffiziente Öfen.

Der Fonds setzte im abgelaufenen Halbjahr seine Investitionstätigkeit fort. Es wurden drei Kredite vergeben, zwei zur Aufstockung der Finanzierung von bestehenden MFI Partnern und eine Finanzierung einer neuen MFI. LMDF investierte dabei zum ersten Mal in Mongolien. Zum Stichtag sind somit 81% des Nettovermögens in Mikrofinanz investiert, eine deutliche Steigerung im Vergleich zum Bilanzstichtag 31. März 2014 (73%). Geographisch verteilt sich das Portfolio auf: 57% in Lateinamerika, 20% in Afrika, 21% in Asien und 2% in entwickelten Ländern.

Insgesamt erhöhten sich die Mikrofinanzinvestitionen des Fonds um 12% auf EUR 14,3 Millionen bei gleichzeitiger Stagnation des Nettovermögens (bei EUR 17,3 Millionen).

Das finanzielle Ergebnis der ersten sechs Monate verbesserte sich im Vorjahresvergleich wesentlich.

Die Ertragstreiber sind die höhere Investitionsquote des Fonds zusammen mit der Stärkung des US-Dollars gegenüber des Euros. Die Halbjahresrendite beträgt 1,3% für Klasse A und C Aktionäre und 1,8% für Klasse B. Das Risikoprofil des Fonds bleibt weitgehend unverändert mit keinen wesentlichen Einzelrisiken.

La revue des principaux risques auxquelles le Fonds est exposé n'a pas soulevé de risques particuliers.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON ACTIVITIES The focus of this report is on one of the questions at the forefront of today’s discussion in microfinance: How can the sector contribute to climate change adaptation and the huge environmental challenges many developing countries face? LMDF presents a closer look at Fondesurco, a microfinance institution (MFI) in Peru offering financing of energy efficient products to its clients. The roll-out, since June 2013, of the first two such products has been backed by a loan from LMDF. We hope you enjoy the photos throughout this report, the description of Fondesurco and the interview with Gabriel Meza Vásquez, its General Manager. / Investment activities “[...] the immediate priority is clear: To undertake the necessary steps so that the Fund is fully invested, maximizing the social impact and improving the financial performance” was the closing statement in the last annual report. Progress has been made mid-year through our financial year. Of the Fund's net asset value, 81% is invested in microfinance, a substantial improvement over the 73% at the end of the last financial year. This was achieved mainly through additional loans to successful microfinance institutions (“MFI”) and one placement in a microfinance note.

LMDF granted: • A senior loan to the MFI FACES (USD 500,000) to support the growth of the MFI active in the rural areas of southern Ecuador; • A senior loan to the MFI IPR (also USD 500,000) to re-finance the loan portfolio growth of the MFI, concentrated on the financing of agricultural activities in Cambodia.

LMDF also subscribed USD 650,000 to a note issued by MSME Bonds in Luxembourg and backed by a loan to the MFI Khan Bank in Mongolia.

At the end of September, the Fund had 57% of its investments in Latin America, 20% in Africa, 21% in Asia and 2% in developed countries (Graph 1). In total, LMDF finances 29,460 micro-entrepreneurs through 31 MFIs in 18 countries. / Social objectives Earlier this year, LMDF refined and formulated its vision and mission. At the heart of our vision is our dedication to contribute to poverty alleviation and address the unmet needs of the most excluded. As an investment fund we achieve our vision through investments in promising microfinance institutions with positive social impact.

Starting from the Fund’s vision and mission, LMDF is currently undertaking a social performance review of the last five years. We expect to publish the results in a separate report at the beginning of next year. Some insights from the analysis conducted so far are: •

•

•

• •

71% of the countries in which LMDF is invested belong to the bottom half of the Human Development Index, including countries like Niger, Mali and Togo, who belong to the group of the very least developed countries; The average loan sizes clearly situate LMDF in the microfinance segment dedicated to the bottom of the pyramid (Graph 2); 25% of micro-loans are destined to smallholder farmers, one of the most excluded groups globally (Graph 3); 72% of ultimate clients are women (Graph 4); and 20% of investments go to Africa.

LMDF also publishes the average interest rate charged by the MFIs to their clients (Graph 5). The average rate of 30% has not changed significantly over the last years.

More than 20% of the total rate is used to meet the operating expenses of the MFIs.

The forthcoming social performance report will shed light on many of these areas and provide insights into how LMDF incorporates social criteria in its decision-making processes.

Return during the first six months of the year is 1.3% for Classes A and C and 1.8% for Class B shareholders.

/ Financial performance

As at 30 September, LMDF had no particular risk events to highlight. However, the Fund continues to closely monitor the situation of a number of MFIs and some countries through its risk management approach.

The Fund’s net asset value did not change materially since the beginning of the year whereas the investment portfolio grew by 12% (Graph 6). At the same time, the USDollar appreciated significantly in relation to the Euro. Both trends benefitted the Fund’s income and returns.

Net income on microfinance and liquid assets exceeds half a million euro and constitutes 6.4% (annualized) of average net assets during the period (before foreign exchange, impairment and operating costs), an increase from 6.0% during the last financial year. Euro yields on microfinance loans have remained close to 8%.

/ Risk review

- Credit risks Average exposure to microfinance institutions has remained stable at 2.6% of total net assets with a maximum exposure of 5.8% to the MFI ASUSU in Niger. The average exposure is EUR 462,000 per MFI, which represents an increase of 8% compared to the year end at 31 March 2014. This is mainly explained by the additional senior loans to existing partner MFIs.

LMDF’s cost structure has improves slightly with a total expense ratio amounting to 3.2% (annualized) compared to 3.6% during the previous financial year.

In the last financial year the Fund made a provision on a loan granted to the MFI Crediflorida in Peru. Increased risks of default were caused by the impact of the coffee rust on many of the MFI’s clients, mostly smallholder coffee farmers.

As at 30 September 2014 Crediflorida's situation has stabilized but has not improved significantly. The provision of 10% of the principal amount outstanding remains unchanged pending further developments.

- Currency risk The Fund was significantly impacted by the 8% appreciation of the US dollar in relation to the euro during the reporting period. US dollar denominated investments constitute 69% of the Fund’s total investments and a number of other currencies moved in close relation to the US dollar, including the Philippine peso, Peruvian nuevo sol and Nicaraguan córdobas.

slightly from 4.4% of total net assets at the -5 end of March to 4.6% at the end of September. The five most important countries concentrate 46.6% of total net assets, a significant increase over 42.8% of total net assets at the end of March.

Total 29.6% LMDF continued its conservative approach to currency risks. Despite our systematic hedging, the broad currency appreciation benefited LMDF financially because of some hedging imperfections (for example, the use of forward instruments which cover only the loan principal).

1 Microfinance institution in focus FONDESURCO, Peru

Fondesurco is a microfinance institution created in 1994 to address the financial needs of rural communities in southern Peru with a strong focus on financing of agricultural activities.

The first credit operations were conducted under the group lending methodology. At the beginning of 2000, the MFI adopted individual lending. In Peru, Fondesurco is recognized as a pioneer organisation of microfinance in rural areas.

Fondesurco operates in some of the poorest areas of Peru. Clients are low-income people who develop economic activities in trade and agriculture in small communities.

The services are mainly provided in places where there are no other financial services, through agencies, mini-agencies, agents and services points. Fondesurco counts 20 agencies in the departments of Arequipa, Moquegua, Puno and Ayacucho.

Fondesurco offers a range of credit products to its clients, such as loans for working capital, acquisition of fixed assets, loans for the agricultural cycle and credit destined at young microentrepreneurs. Clients have the possibility to subscribe a micro-insurance.

Fondesurco's department for development and innovation is working to develop new products with a high social value like the “green credits”.

The pilot project FondeEnergía, developed in collaboration with ADA and MicroEnergy International, was created in order to finance solar water heaters and energy efficient ovens.

Both products combine environmental benefits such as reduced emission of greenhouse gases with economic advantages for clients. Solar water heaters for example allow small hostels to increase room rates while reducing energy costs.

From July 2013 to January 2014, LMDF granted two loans to Fondesurco of Peruvian soles 900.000 each (EUR 246,286) in order to expand the commercialisation of FondeEnergía.

2 Four questions to Gabriel Meza Vásquez, General Manager of FONDESURCO

Mr. Gabriel Meza, can you briefly describe Fondesurco, and your motivations to launch the project SER-FondeEnergía?

Fondesurco is a private development institution constituted in January 1994. Since its inception, we have specialized in providing micro-credits to clients active in rural areas of the southern regions of the country.

Currently we have 20 offices located in the departments of Arequipa, Moquegua, Puno and Ayacucho. Fondesurco's mission is to provide access to financial services for lowincome people in rural areas to contribute to improve living standards.

aimed at achieving a balance between financial and social results.

3. Innovation: Fondesurco classifies innovation from three perspectives: First, to create or develop markets; second, to create products according to the rural economic cycle and to the needs of the clients; and third, to facilitate access to credit.

4. Green credits: Fondesurco acts responsibly within the communities we serve.

This is why we develop loan products with the goal to preserve and conserve the environment. Rural areas are areas most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Fondesurco is active in remote rural areas with limited access to financial services and populations with higher incidences of poverty according to the “national poverty line.”

Within this strategic framework, Fondesurco develops credit products that respect the environment by creating appropriate credit policies for our employees and respond to the needs of our clients. The initiatives of Fondesurco are a combination of microfinance and clean and renewable energy.

As at September 2014, Fondesurco granted 12,682 credits, of which 42% have been disbursed to women; in line with our market orientation and our social mission, 86% of the clients are living in rural areas. Our loan portfolio has reached USD 20,1 million.

We promote the use of energy efficient and renewable energy equipment and create sustainable environmental benefits. By combining a focus on extreme poverty with the environmental benefits, we foster social and environmental sustainability.

To align its institutional priorities to the microfinance market, Fondesurco has defined four strategic pillars: 1. Rural: Fondesurco focuses its interventions in rural areas because that is where poverty and the need of access to financing is highest.

2. Social Performance: Fondesurco aligns its objectives and activities to its social mission: every decision we make is

"The key to the success of the products is the development of a ‘green culture’ within the organisation."

FondeEnergía is a pilot project launched in 2011, which provides financing for the purchase of solar water heaters and energy efficient ovens. Who can benefit from it and under what conditions? What feedback do you receive from clients?

In the case of solar heaters, two sectors benefited from it: Families or individuals and the microenterprise sector, which means mainly hotels, hostels, guest houses and room rentals requiring hot water.

Clients have expressed their satisfaction with the solar water heater product and have a clear perception that they are saving money. Cost reductions are achieved through reduced consumption of wood, gas and electricity used to heat water. In the case of the solar heaters, the clients stated they would save between PEN 8 and PEN 20 per week (EUR 2 – 6).

Guests who are renting a room also state that they are happier and not looking for another place. Feedback also suggests that clients save on medical expenses because children do not easily get sick from respiratory infections caused by cold water. The products also generally improve hygienic conditions and the health of the entire family.

In the case of hostels, room charges increase substantially if warm water is provided.

The energy efficient ovens benefit two key clienteles: 1) Families and individuals and 2) the microenterprise sector involved in hospitality, such as small restaurants.

For families, the main benefits include increased safety, namely because fewer accidents happen and there is a better extraction of smoke through the chimney, leading to less toxic gas in the house. Families also save on firewood because the energy efficient oven consumes less and heats much faster compared to traditional ovens.

Apart from increased convenience, some clients have also reported that their status within the community has improved.

Restaurants use the oven to prepare new dishes like roasted pork, cakes and pastries.

Housewives have often found a source of additional income by preparing dishes to be sold in the neighbourhood or during special events.

What are the key success factors and lessons learned regarding the development and commercialization of the environmentally friendly credit products?

We are facing diverse challenges in the development of these products. Key to the success of the products is the development of a “green culture” within the organization.

Employees need to identify themselves with our activities and a green image of Fondesurco and commit to the protection of the environment.

"It is essential to sensitize the population to the importance of the protection of the environment and the need to adapt to climate change."

A related challenge is to train the sales staff on the non-financial aspects of the products. We need our staff to understand the technology behind the products. We also need to implement an incentive system that motivates employees in the different branches to sell green products.

We would like to conduct market studies to better assess the needs of the population and the potential demand for products which require a credit for the purchase of environmentally friendly equipment. This study will allow us to select the additional technologies, to define the market to target, and the targeting of advocacy and marketing campaigns. As a result, we would like to increase the range of energy efficient products according to the needs of the rural population and ultimately increase our loan portfolio.

In this context, it is essential to sensitize the population to the importance of the protection of the environment and the need to adapt to climate change. The success of our products critically depends on the importance local communities attach to environmental protection.

Ultimately, we would like to implement functional loan products that unite all the actors involved in environmentally friendly products. The challenges are the validation of technologies, the selection of suppliers or ensuring efficient aftersales service, and the incorporation of all these elements into the regular business line of credit products we offer.

Increasing demand and achieving significant numbers of products, especially since the amounts of the loans associated are low,

will diversify our portfolio and ultimately contribute to improved financial profitability.

When the project started, the goal was to provide more than 2,000 green loans to your customers by 2015. Where does Fondesurco stand in relation to this goal, what are the challenges and to what extent has the financing from LMDF helped?

The financing of LMDF has contributed a great deal to the funding needed to finance the loan portfolio of clients purchasing energy efficient products under the SER program. The main focus of the program is to finance product acquisition by low income people and microenterprises in rural areas.

The loans we grant facilitate access to clean, renewable and efficient products which would not be acquired under normal circumstances. The main reasons are that suppliers of these products do not sell on credit and often have no presence in rural areas.

Since the end of 2013, the FondeEnergĂ­a product has been proposed systematically in all of Fondesurco's branches. As at September 2014, we have granted 633 loans, which is equivalent to 652 technologies, of which 375 are energy efficient ovens and 277 solar water heaters. This translates into 1,615 beneficiaries, taking into account all members of the family.

It is evident that we have not reached the goals in terms of number of products initially targeted. The project started in 2011 with three pilot agencies, and was only extended to all the other agencies at the end of 2013, which implies that the results obtained until now have been achieved in fewer than two years.

Since our focus is to work in rural areas, the promotion of FondeEnergĂ­a is challenging because of the difficulty of gathering large numbers of potential clients. Often the promotion and the sale of the FondeEnergĂ­a products are made personally (one-to-one).

We have also faced difficulties in exhibiting the SER products: Rural geography creates challenges in displaying the products.

The client is motivated to buy when he has the opportunity to see the product and its functionality.

requirements of the clients. Since its implementation, the SER product has undergone a number of changes that made it more accessible to customers and to those who are responsible for selling it in the market.

Despite these challenges, our institution will continue to promote the products to strive towards reaching the set goal. We believe that the benefits for the families that have purchased the products justify our continuation of this activity.

It is important to say that in our desire to encourage more people to use environmentally friendly alternatives and to diversify our product range, we are planning to add to our range of products energy efficient kitchens, photovoltaic powered low-energy lamps, solar dryers and other products which will surely help to increase our loan portfolio.

GENERAL INFORMATION / A Structure of the Fund Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund, SICAV (the “Fund” or the “SICAV”) is an investment company organised as a public limited company (société anonyme) under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and qualified as a “société d’investissement à capital variable” (SICAV). The Fund is authorised as an undertaking for collective investment (“UCI”) under Part II of the law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment (the “Law”).

The Fund was incorporated in Luxembourg on 7 October 2009 with an initial capital of EUR 31,000 divided into 1,240 fully paid up shares with no par value. The capital of the Fund is equal at all times to the net assets of the Fund. The Articles were published in the Mémorial on 2 November 2009 and the Fund is registered under trade register number R.C.S. Luxembourg B 148826. The Fund is incorporated for an unlimited period.

The Fund is an open-ended fund. Accordingly, the Fund is authorised to issue an unlimited number of shares, all of which are without par value.

The Fund is an umbrella fund and as such may operate separate Sub-Funds, each of which is represented by one or more classes of shares (each, a “Class”). The Sub-Funds are distinguished by their specific investment policy or any other specific features. At the date of this report, the Fund had created one Sub-Fund, the Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund – Social Venture Capital Sub-Fund.

The Fund may issue three classes of shares, namely Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares, each targeting different types of investors, evidencing a different level of risk, offering a target return and evidencing a different level of involvement in the Fund’s governance. The initial subscription period for Class A and Class B shares ended on 18 December 2009. The initial subscription period for Class C shares ended on 31 March 2010.

The base currency of the Fund is the EUR and all the financial statements of the Fund are presented in EUR. The financial year of the Fund ends on 31 March in each year.

Copies of the Articles, the latest financial reports and the latest annual report may be obtained without cost on request from the Fund.

Copies of the material agreements mentioned in the Prospectus may be reviewed during normal business hours on any business day at the registered office of the Fund. / B Investment Objective Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund aims at contributing to the alleviation of poverty in developing countries through the provision of permanent and adapted financial services to marginalized communities and individuals. The Fund invests in promising microfinance institutions ("MFIs") that have a positive social impact so that these institutions reach financial autonomy. In pursuance of its objectives, the Fund may invest in MFIs, in networks or associations of MFIs, in regional funds, in microfinance investment vehicles ("MIVs") and in other microfinance-related products.

The Fund has two principal objectives, social and financial: help socially-oriented MFIs to become longterm viable enterprises that reach more poor people and offer better services, and generate sufficient income to sustain its own operations and give its shareholders a financial return that at least compensates for inflation.

The Fund strives to provide tailor-made and innovative solutions to needy MFIs, coupling its own financial assistance with technical support from external consultants. It deliberately focuses on niche activities, activities where potential needs of MFIs are large, but current supply is scarce.

The Sub-Fund does not directly engage with the end clients of the MFIs (micro-entrepreneurs, small savers and insurance policy holders). This activity requires local presence and local knowledge and is best done by locally implanted MFIs. The Fund invests primarily but not exclusively in the following financial instruments: - Various credit products such as senior loans, term deposits, promissory notes and bonds; - Equity and quasi-equity instruments; - Issuance of guarantees and letters of credit; - Participating interests in loans or guarantees to regional and other microfinance investment vehicles.

The Sub-Fund invests in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES / A Presentation of Financial Statements The Fund invests a significant part of its assets in financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the euro. Often, the Fund contracts a cross-currency interest rate swap or forward foreign exchange contract to limit the exposure of the Fund to the movements of the currency in relation to the euro. In the case of debt instruments, the cost of hedging such exposure strongly influences the interest rate the Fund charges to microfinance institutions.

The interest income on microfinance loan agreements in the statement of operation and other changes in net assets includes the interest charges to microfinance institutions to cover the hedging costs of the respective currency. The impact of the valuation of the hedging instruments is presented in the net realized gain/ loss and the variation of the unrealized gain/loss. / B Valuation of Financial Instruments Debt instruments not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange or any other regulated market that operates regularly, is recognized and open to the public will be valued at the nominal value plus accrued interest.

Such value will be adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect e.g. major fluctuations in interest rates in the relevant markets or the appraisal by the Board of Directors on the credit worthiness of the relevant debt instrument.

Capital participations not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange or any other regulated market that operates regularly, is recognized and open to the public will be valued at their reasonably foreseeable sales price determined prudently and in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.

Such procedures include, in order of preference: - Up to the first year following the Sub-Fund’s acquisi tion, the capital participations will be valued at cost; - After the first year of holding, the value of the capital participation will be estimated with reference to prices of equity transactions or issues of new shares involving the same MFI within a reasonable time period of the valuation date. Such a time period is determined by an assessment of the Board of Directors whether material changes within the MFI or in its operating environment have occurred since the date such transaction took place; - If such transactions are not available or deemed not representative of fair value, the value of the capital participation should be estimated with reference to the price-to-book ratio at which the Sub-Fund acquired the capital participation;

- In case the Sub-Fund has entered into negotiations to sell a capital participation to a third party, the capital participation may be valued at its expected sales price if the disclosure is judged appropriate by the Board of Directors in view of the ongoing negotiations.

The value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, cash dividends and interest declared or accrued and not yet received is deemed to be the full amount thereof, unless in case the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof is arrived at after making such discount as may be considered appropriate in such case to reflect the true value thereof.

The value of securities that are listed on any stock exchange or dealt in on any regulated, recognized, open to the public and regularly functioning market is based on the last available price.

The value of units or shares in UCIs is based on their last-stated net asset value. Other valuation methods may be used to adjust the price of these units or shares if, in the opinion of the Fund, there have been changes in the value since the net asset value had been calculated or the valuation method used by the UCIs is not appropriate to reflect the fair value thereof.

Cross-currency SWAPs that are materially linked in notional, spot exchange rates, interest rates, maturities and other terms to any underlying loan instrument are valued using the spot exchange rate for the notional and accrued interest. Such valuation approach is changed if a credit risk materializes in the form of an impairment. The part of the SWAP notional then exceeding the valuation of the underlying loan is valued using a marked to market approach. Any material difference between the spot rate at which the SWAP was contracted and the spot rate at which the loan was disbursed is amortized over the period until expiration of the SWAP and recognized as interest income or expense.

The value of all assets and liabilities not expressed in the reference currency of a Sub-Fund will be converted into the reference currency of such Sub-Fund at the rate of exchange ruling in Luxembourg as at the relevant Valuation Day. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be determined in good faith by or under procedures established by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors, in its discretion, may permit some other methods of valuation to be used, if it considers that such valuation better reflects the fair value of any asset of the Fund.

/ C Allocation of Net Asset Value Among

Share Classes Preferred Return on Class B shares The preferential return to Class B shares is allocated if and only if the Sub-Fund’s result of operations since the last valuation, both with and without impairment risk on microfinance, shows a profit.

In such case, the net profit generated by the Sub-Fund since the last valuation day is first allocated to Class B shares until the first of the following is attained: - The remuneration reaches the total net profit since last valuation; - The equivalent of 1% p.a. interest on Class B shares’ NAV; - If an impairment provision booked before or on the last valuation day is reduced, the profit since the last valuation day without the income from reducing such provision.

The remaining profit, if any, is allocated among the three share Classes according to their respective proportions in the Sub-Fund’s total NAV. Microfinance Impairment Risk Class A shares shall cover the net loss allocated to Class C shares since the last valuation day, if such loss arises from the impairment of microfinance related investments until Class A share capital is nil. Only a reduction in the Sub-Fund’s microfinance investments resulting from the deterioration of the financial conditions of the counterparty is considered as a microfinance impairment.

The Fund reserves the right to suspend subscriptions in Class C shares within the Sub-Fund, if the NAV allocated to Class A shares is less than 20% of the combined NAV of Class C and Class A shares. / D Dividends The primary investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term growth. The Fund’s operating plan in general does not contemplate payment of dividends to shareholders.

NOTE 2 SHARES The Board is authorised, without limitation, to issue an unlimited number of fully paid up shares at any time without reserving a preferential right to subscribe for the shares to be issued for the existing shareholders.

The following share Classes are available for subscription, each targeting different types of investors evidencing a different level of risk, offering a different target return and involvement in the Fund’s governance.

NOTE 4 SUBSCRIPTION DUTY / “TAXE D’ABONNEMENT” The SICAV is governed by Luxembourg tax law.

Article 20 of the law of 18 December 2009 on the 2010 budget of the Luxembourg State and a Grand Ducal decree of 14 July 2010 abolishes the “Taxe d’Abonnement” for funds investing in microfinance with effect on 1 January 2010. On 15 October 2010, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”) informed the Fund of their decision to include the SICAV in the list of investment funds in compliance with such decree.

NOTE 5 FORWARD FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND SWAP CONTRACTS / A Swap contracts The SICAV aims to provide, whenever feasible, loans to microfinance institutions in local currency. During the reporting period, the SICAV hedged loan instruments using cross-currency swaps, which allow the SICAV to significantly reduce the foreign currency risk associated with assets held in foreign currencies.

NOTE 6 IMPAIRMENTS ON MICROFINANCE LOANS During the last financial year the Board of Directors of the Fund decided to provision 10% of the outstanding principal of the loan to the microfinance institution Crediflorida in Peru (USD 700,000 loan). Crediflorida’s activities are concentrated on the financing of coffee farmers which have been significantly impacted by unusual climatic conditions and coffee rust.

During the first six months of the financial year the situation of Crediflorida has stabilized. The Board of Directors has decided to maintain the provision until the situation of the MFI improves substantially. The variation during the review period of impairment on microfinance loans results solely from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
