General Information

Organisation’s Operations

The Micro Finance Institution Kosovo Enterprise Program (hereafter KEP) is currently a
program of the humanitarian organization International Catholic Migration Commission –
Switzerland (hereafter ICMC). ICMC-KEP is registered with the Banking and Payments
Authority of Kosovo (hereafter BPK), as a non-bank micro financial institution as defined
in section 2 of Regulation 1999/21. KEP commenced its operations in August 1999.
KEP’s principal activity is to provide financial services to the people of Kosovo.

ICMC currently manages KEP and the loan funds contributed by donors on a fiduciary
basis until a new autonomous legal entity is created in Kosovo under the relevant laws.
Until that time, all loan fund contributions received by KEP from donors via ICMC are
considered as branch equity. The loan funds and operations will be transferred to the new
entity once formed.

Certain operating costs of KEP such as personnel costs are borne directly by ICMC or
other donors on behalf of KEP. These operating expenses are included within the financial
statements of KEP, with a corresponding and equal amount being included within
contribution income to reflect the fact that the donors are deemed to have made utions up to the value of the operating expenses provided.

Donors have also donated funds to KEP to purchase fixed assets. The assets are recognised
in these financial statements upon purchase and the donated funds are recognised as
deferred income. The deferred income is recognised as income in the income statement
over the useful life of the fixed assets.

Report of the Independent Auditors

Introduction

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Kosovo Enterprise Program
(KEP) as of December 31, 2001, and the related income and cash flow statements for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of KEP management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit.

Scope

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those
Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Kosovo Enterprise Program as of December 31, 2001, and of the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International
Accounting Standards.
