Page 16 of 75

launched their first inaugural issuance internationally and raised USD 750 million in November 2015. It collected interests from 134 international investors for a book order of USD 1.2 billion.

The yield rate offered to investors stood at 9.75% per annum (equivalent to a 743-base point margin against 10-year US « Treasuries ») and the 9.5% coupon. Such yield rate is as result of the interactive process between the delegation and investors held all along the « roadshow ».

Investors estimated the price based on comparable credits proposed in Africa, namely Gabon and Angola yet better rated than Cameroon by rating agencies. Setting the coupon at 9.5% enabled reducing the amount of interests payable to investors semi-annually (9.5% instead of 9.75%). As a consideration, the issuance was not done at par value; securities were sold to investors at 98.426 rather than 100, thus reducing the amount received at closing accordingly, for USD 738.195 million making up the Gross proceeds.

The bonds will mature in November 2025 (for an average lifespan of 9 years, redeemable in three equal parts during the months of November 2023.2024 and2025). The order book and final allocations were diversified. From a geographical perspective, the Unites States represent about 31%, the United Kingdom 40%, Benelux and Scandinavia 19%, the remainder of Europe 8% and the rest of the world 2%.Figure 8 : Distribution of investors per geographical zone

The above tables show the how the Special Appropriations Account for the production of secured transport documents was executed. The revenue execution rate in 2015 is 96.36% against 114.71% in 2014.

Expenses of the Account were executed at a rate of 84.07%. It should be noted that authorised carriage dealers (ACD) bills are submitted quarterly. The expense rate of 84.07%involves bills paid during the first and the second quarters. Third and fourth quarter bills were high and could not be assumed at the risk of exceeding the ceiling.

Revenues

Collections for 2015 show a positive balance of CFA F 3 372 718 993. Assigned revenues were not collected totally because the account « 470 571 » SAF/MINT is not set up in some Pension Offices (RF) like that of Kribi and Bafia etc. which still use class 7 accounts closed since 2011.

Expenses

The total expense amount for 2015 is CFA F 2 942 515 748 as per the above detailed table.

In view to balance the SAF/MINT, the budget ceiling should be increased to CFA F 5 000 000 000 at least with regard to the very high bill amounts submitted by ACDs.

For that purpose, it is appropriate to:

Increase the fees for the stamp to be affixed on secured documents; Reduce the production expenses thereof; Sensitize regional and divisional executive staff from the Ministry of Finance and

Transport in getting effectively involved in document production and more so in securing the assigned revenues collected;

Ensure that intermediate revenue collectors are dispatched all over the territory so as to limit their long stay at the same station, because such long stays may enable them to device strategies to siphon revenues.

APPENDIX-VGOVERNMENT’S GENERAL ACCOUNT AS OF 31 DECEMBER

2015

GOVERNMENT’S GENERAL ACCOUNT AS OF31 DECEMBER 2015

Law n° 2007/006 of 26 December 2007 on the Financial Regime of the State established a renovated accounting framework when compared to the former system set up by ordinance n°62/OF/4 of 07 February 1962 on the financial regulations in the Republic of Cameroon.

In fact, Chapter VI thereof relating to State Accounting principles established a patrimonial/assets accounting system which makes extensive use of practices used in companies.

Sections 60 and 63 thereof thus provide as follows:

  Section 60- «  Government’s performance statements must comply with the rules and be accurate and comprehensive and present a true and fair view of assets, the financial situation. »

Section 63-

« Paragraph 1 The Government’s general accounting system is based on the principle of rights and obligations found in compliance with the general chart of accounts. Transactions are recognized under the year to which they relate, irrespective of their payment or collection date. It is described in the Government’s general account. 

Paragraph 2 Rules governing government’s general accounting system only differ from those governing companies’ by virtue of the specificities of its action. »

The patrimonial accounting system thereby provides for the production of a Performance Statement at the end of year as is the case in private organisations, with the only difference that account should be taken of government specificities.

The goal pursued in this contemporary dynamics prescribed by international standards and norms pertaining thereto, IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting Standards) and CEMAC directives, is to enable inter alia, a better State management strategy through the mastery of the trends in its properties and financial holdings, a better decision support tool on the financing of public policies, the promotion of transparency culture through the publication of thorough financial data, the setting up of a streamlined chain of control and audit and increased confidence of investors in Government’s signature.

It is therefore in a bid to meet this requirement that prior to the integral shift to the accrual accounting system, that the government’s general account is produced on an experimental basis since 2010.

With regard to the outline thereof, it should be noted that the CEMAC Directive N 03/11 – UEAC – 195 – LM -22 of 19 December 2011 relating to the State Chart of accounts adopted by the CEMAC council of Ministers has provided in its Section 7 that « Government’s general account includes the trial balance and the performance statements. »

Chapter IV of the same Directives, focusing on accounting and performance statements has provided that performance statements shall include the net position chart or balance sheet, performance statement, cash flow chart and attached statement.

In compliance with these directives, this Government’s general account which comes along with the trial balances as of December 2015 respectively include for the same period:

- provisional balance sheet,Page 57 of 75

- Performance statement,- Cash-flow chart.

The balance sheet shows a net position of CFA F 2 590.05 billion as of 31 December 2015 obtained by subtracting the total liability less net position of CFA F 6 110.86 billion from the total assets of CFA F 8700.91billion. This net position is made up 2015 financial result of CFA F 835.90 billion and previous years carried forward financial results totalling CFA F 1754.15 billion.

Notwithstanding, it should be emphasized that this is merely provisional since some heads such as the fixed assets will be exhaustive only upon completion of the physical inventory of State property assets.

The performance statement shows State financial transactions in terms of revenues and expenditure. The balance of the transactions for the year is positive by CFA F 835.90 billion obtained by subtracting the expenses worth CFA F 2 310.33 billion from revenues of CFA F 3 146.23 billion. With regard to the State specificity, it is displayed in three main items: net recurrent expenses, net intervention expenses and net financial expenses.

The cash-flow chart analyzes the change in Cash flow by discriminating between flows from activities and flows from financing. The analysis of this table as of 31 December 2015 shows a positive balance of CFA F 911.11 billion obtained from the difference between the collection of CFA F 3 146.23 billion from activities and CFA F 2 235.12 billion of disbursement related to activities.

Section 26 of CEMAC Directive N 03/11 – UEAC – 195 – LM -22 of 19 December 2011 relating to the State Chart Accounts provides that: « The net position chart or balance sheet shows State assets and liability. It separately discloses:

- on the assets side: the fixed assets, the current assets less Cash flow, the Cash flow and assets adjusting accounts,- on the liability side: financial debts, non-financial debts (less Cash flow), reserves for possible losses, liability cash flow and liability adjustment accounts ».

The contexture of the net position chart is provided for in Tome 1 of the didactic guide of the State Chart of Accounts. It provides that « the format of the net position chart or balance sheet is a specificity that takes into account the fact that the latter does not have equity and summarizes assets and liability items in the form of a single entry table ».

The positioning of carry forward and the year financial result (net position) at the bottom of the table is explained by the fact that, contrary to private enterprises, The State does not have equity. Likewise, it is more important asset which is its capability of raising taxes cannot be assessed.

That is the substance of the performance statements for the Year 2015 as described in the lines that follow.

Total State balance sheet as at the end of December 2015 is CFA F 8 700.91 billion. The difference between assets and liability the balance sheet less net position enables to specify the State net position. Such position posts a surplus of CFA F 2 590.05 billion as of 31 December 2015.

Year result is CFA F 835.90 billion against CFA F 891.35 billion in 2014for an increase in the State assets by CFA F 55.45 billion. Yet such increase should be considered with caution because it includes neither amortisements nor reserves.

This result cannot be regarded as surplus to be assigned such as perceived in corporate accounting (dividends, increase in capital, reserves). But, it is carried forward to be reconciled with that of the YearN-1and allow forming an opinion on the increase or decrease of State assets.

A summary presentation of the balance sheet groups the main assets and liability headings together as shown in the simplified balance sheet below.

I - 2 –BALANCE SHEET – ASSETS SIDEThe assets side of the balance sheet includes fixed assets, current assets less Cash flow,

Cash flow– assets and adjustment accounts-assets. Inventory accounts are not included because the State does not keep inventory booking yet.

Fixed assets

It is estimated at a total amount of CFA F 6 111.79 billion and divided in intangible fixed assets worth CFA F 513.62billion, tangible fixed assets worth CFA F 3 653.39 billion and financial fixed assets worth CFA F 1 944.78 billion. Yet, such fixed assets should be viewed with caution because they are not exhaustive since they only cover the period from2003 to 2015. Till date, these data are the only one available in the Treasury services database.

In order to have more reliable data on opening balance sheet, it is essential that all State fixed assets be physically identified and valued. With regard to the magnitude of such task (identification to be carried out in all the ministries), this cannot be completed in a single year. It would take many years to be completed. It therefore implies the production of a provisional fixed assets statement as it is the case this year that will be updated annually.

Page 60 of 75

Besides, the above mentioned amount of CFA F 6 111.79billion corresponds to the gross value and not to the net value that should result from amortisations due to the depreciation of goods acquired then. By memorandum N° 11/256NS/MINFI/SG/DGTCFM/DT of 02 August 2011, the Minister of Finance established a committee which responsible for the setting up of accrual-based accounting in Cameroon. The work of such committee will certainly enable to bring a solution to the above mentioned insufficiencies and concerns.

Financial fixed assets.

They consist of fixed assets on counterpart funds, securities and investments, non-distributed fixed assets and capital transfers. They globally stand at the amount of CFA F 1 944.78 billion.

The Cash flow table shows the Collections and Disbursements of all State liquid assets: Cash flows related to State activities, cash flows related to capital transactions, and cash flows related to financing transactions. It shows the State financing needs. Such financing is needed to cover the cash flow needs related to its running of activities, its redistribution mission and its investment policy.

Page 80 of 75

With regard to net cash flows related to State activity, there is a cash surplus of CFA F 911.11 billion ensuing from the difference between collections of 3 146.23 billion and cash-out of CFA F 2 235.12 billion.

Net cash flows related to investment show a financing requirement of CFA F 393.40 billion arising from the difference between fixed assets acquisitions worth CFA F 393.40 billion and disposal of fixed assets worth zero as at 31 December 2015.

The aforementioned Cash surplus of CFA F 911.11billion obtained on activity was used to cover up for the cash requirements on capital expenses. Notwithstanding, the sum of CFA F 517.71 billion is still required if surplus Cash from activities should cover flows needed for capital expenses.

The aforementioned CFA F 517.71 billion financing requirement accounts for all the actions undertaken under the State liquidity management. Funds were raised for a total amount of CFA F 2 252.07 billion respectively consisting of borrowings, Treasury bonds, deposits of Treasury correspondents and reimbursement of various advances granted to third parties by the State. Such reimbursements generated a cash-in of CFA F 1 912.02 billion, for CFA F 340.05 billion net cash flow related to financing transactions.

Lastly, there is an increase of CFA F 48.08 billion in State liquidity assets obtained from the difference between the Cash position at the end of December 2014 worth CFA F382.21 billion and CFA F 430.29 billion at the end of December 2015.
