Address China Association of Microfinance (hereinafter referred to as CAM) has gone through the development of two years since its establishment in 2005. While reviewing the past work, on the one hand, we feel consolable because our staff have subjectively made efforts to carry out the mission of the CAM, which is to serve our member institutions and facilitate the healthy development of microcredit as well as the establishment of inclusive financial sectors in China; we have indeed conducted some activities and obtained certain achievement, which is depicted in this annual report; but on the other hand, what we still need to urge ourselves time after time for further improvement is that our capability and efficiency are not at a favorable level to match the needs of our members. Therefore, we have to keep alert, undertake introspection, work hard and enhance our quality so as to better serve our member institutions. As for the microcredit in China today, accomplishments and problems coexist, and opportunities and challenges are combined. Thus our task and responsibility are to catch the opportunities while confronting the challenges. We will constantly exploit and improve ourselves so that we can make a contribution to the healthy development of the microcredit in China, especially for NGO type of MFIs. Hereon, we would like to present our gratitude to Citi for its great support and assistance, as well as all the individuals and organizations that have ever supported and helped the CAM.

Grameen International Conference on Microcredit in China The Grameen International Conference on Microcredit in China was successfully held at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing from October 22 to 23, 2006, which was co-organized by Grameen Bank (hereinafter referred to as GB) and CAM. The aim of this conference was to promote the development of microcredit for poverty alleviation in China by the way of experience exchanges, policy research and international cooperation. The founder of Grameen Bank and leader of international microcredit movement, Professor Yunus addressed the conference himself right after he got 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. The domestic government officials from PBOC, CBRC, MOF etc. as well as the delegates from international organizations such as Citi, UNDP and WB etc. were also invited to deliver their speeches. There were totally over 230 participants, including representatives from Bangladesh, USA and Australia etc. and international organizations, and domestic MFI delegates from twelve provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. After the thorough communication and discussion at the conference, the prospect of over 100 NGO-type of MFIs was paid more and more attention from central government and international organizations. During the conference period, Professor Yunus visited senior officials such as Madame Wu Xiaoling, Vice Governor of PBOC, Mr. Cai Esheng, Vice Chairman of CBRC, Mr. Wang Zhaoxing, Associate Chairman of CBRC, Mr. Liu Jian, Director of Poverty Alleviation Office of State Council, Mr. Li Zhaoxing, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Yi Xiaozhun, Vice Minister of Commerce, respectively. Professor Yunus did communicate very well and reach certain common understanding with those senior officials in terms of the present situation and prospect of microcredit in China, which played an active role in facilitating the growth of microcredit in China. Moreover, with the glory of Nobel Peace Prize, all domestic media raised a contest of reporting the visit of Professor Yunus in China. "Microcredit Fad" or "Yunus Effect" suddenly surged on the earth of China so that the general public upgraded their cognition regarding the development of microcredit in China and its effectiveness in poverty alleviation. With the issue of new country development strategy by central government and the growth of microcredit in China, all microcredit practitioners, advocates, and researchers are on the tiptoe of expectation for the rapid growth of MFIs and the bright future of microcredit in China. 1 2 NK!!"##$%&'!"#!"!#$%&'!"#!!"#$%&'!

Auditing Report JYSZ 2007 No. 289 To: Poverty Research Center of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (hereinafter referred to as CASS), and China International Center for Economic & Technical Exchanges (hereinafter referred to as CICETE): We audited the attached financial statements of China Association of Microfinance (hereinafter referred to as CAM), including Balance Sheet dated on December 31, 2006, Portfolio Report of Year 2006, and accompanying notes to the financial statements. 1. The Responsibility of Management for Financial Statements To compile financial statements according to the regulations of "Accounting Standards for Non-Profit Organization" is the responsibility of CAM's management. The responsibilities include: (1) in order not to make financial statements significantly misstated because of frauds or errors, designing, implementing and maintaining internal control related to compiling financial statements; (2) choosing and using proper accounting policies; (3) making reasonable accounting estimation. 2. The Responsibility of CPAs Based on the implemented auditing work, our responsibility is to express auditing opinion for the financial statements. We implemented the auditing work according to the regulations of the auditing standards of China Certified Public Accountants. To obtain reasonable guarantee for the financial statements to be or not to be significantly misstated, the auditing standards of China Certified Public Accountants require us to abide by the professional ethics, plan and implement auditing work. The auditing work involves in implementing auditing procedures so as to obtain auditing evidences for related amounts and disclosure of the financial statements. The choice of auditing procedures depends upon the judgment of CPAs, including risk appraisal procedure for the significantly misstated financial statements arising from frauds or errors. When undertaking risk appraisal, we considered internal control related to compiling financial statements in order to design proper auditing procedure. But our purpose was not to express opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. Moreover, the auditing work includes appraising the suitability of the accounting policies chosen by management and the rationality of the accounting estimation, and evaluating the whole content of the financial statements. We believe that the auditing evidences obtained by us are enough and proper, which provide the basis for expressing auditing opinion. 3. Auditing Opinion We conclude that the CAM's financial statements are compiled according to the regulations of "Accounting standards for Non-Profit Organization", which fairly reflect the CAM's financial situation dated on December 31, 2006, financial status of income and expenses of Year 2006. 4. Highlight Events Besides we remind the users of the financial statements that the CAM hasn't been registered as an entity up to now so that it cannot open the appropriative fund account and Poverty Research Center of CASS and CICETE have not kept this account solely. The above two units are responsible for the integrality of auditing financial data, and the report of CAM is consolidated by the reports of the two units.

Introduction of CAM As an effective method for poverty alleviation and a financial innovation, microcredit has experienced over ten-year process of experimentation, demonstration and expansion. As we know, most of the very first domestic MFIs engaging in microcredit experiments are those NGOs or NPOs, relying on the aid from international organizations or the support from the local governments. Although these MFIs have played an active role in facilitating the development of microcredit in China and made a great contribution for poverty alleviation, they can hardly achieve sustainability owing to the restriction by policy and law, the constraint about their own system and capability, and the insufficiency of fund source etc. We believe that microcredit, as an effective measure for poverty reduction, is unable to realize sustainable development and everlasting function until it is included in the whole framework of financial reform and development of China. At the domestic microcredit workshops during the past two years, some researchers and practitioners of microcredit put forward the suggestion to set up a guild or a network for many times, the voice for which was higher especially in the international workshop of microcredit held in Beijing in September of 2003. The relevant domestic departments and international organizations attached importance to this suggestion, subsequently, UNDP assisted PBOC to complete microcredit policy research report, in which the supervisory policy pertaining to microcredit guild was raised, which advised the guild to conduct self-discipline and the government to offer certain policy guidance. At the end of 2003, in order to accommodate the development needs of microcredit and with reference to the advice in the policy research report of PBOC, Rural Development Institute of CASS that was the earliest one to undertake microcredit experimentation, demonstration and research in China, and CICETE that governed foreign-aid microcredit program with the largest scale in China, decided to initiate the formation of microcredit guild or network in China, and later obtained strong support from Development Department of ACWF. After the request for the opinion of Ministry of Civil Affairs, our three institutions that had an excellent performance in microcredit determined to jointly launch on setting up the CAM. This CAM has become one cooperative network organization of MFIs with the goal of poverty alleviation, the key functions of which include the following five aspects: To conduct the research on microcredit issues, and undertake dialogue and communication with relevant government departments, and disclose the operation performance of MFIs to financial supervisory departments and the public; To develop self-discipline by setting industry standards and carry out the rating for institutions; To offer relevant technical assistance like training and consultation for members; To encourage information, experience and staff exchanges; To undertake dissemination and help MFIs to raise fund. Before the formal registration of the CAM, we will conduct daily work in the loose form as a network depending on the preparatory group members from CICETE, CASS and ACWF as well as the secretariat of CAM. We wish to continuously obtain policy support from government departments and receive assistance from more international organizations and all circles in China. We will make an effort to set up the CAM as soon as possible in order to exert its function, which can promote the development of microcredit for poverty alleviation in China, and help more poor people to improve their life and make a contribution to achieve the objective of all-round construction of a harmonious society.
