P R E F A c E
Supporting small private companies in developing countries in
a socially responsible way: this is one of the corner stones of the
government’s Development Cooperation policy. It aims to encourage
economic growth and create employment by providing support to
the local entrepreneurs, thus the population.
Since its inception five years ago, BIO has not only shown its strong
expertise and fierce enthusiasm, but it has also proven it can offer
a significant added value to the local private sector in developing
countries. Economic growth, employment, commercial integration
and market expansion are essential to stimulate sustainable
development and to efficiently reduce poverty. BIO contributes to a
favourable local economic context with a permanent concern for
the ethical, social and environmental implications.
The company has now become a comprehensive, direct and active partner of entrepreneurs in a large number of emerging countries.
Through the increase of financial means that I entrusted to BIO,
the government supports this choice to provide funds to local
entrepreneurs who have little or no access to commercial banks.
This allows people with a good business sense but who are lacking
financial means and management support, to benefit from a growth
potential. And this is one of the aims of our cooperation with
developing countries…
The Minister of Development Cooperation.

“Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries” is the full
name of BIO.
Financial return on investment in developing countries is essential
but it is certainly not the only driving force behind BIO. The company
decisively goes for projects with an established added-value
pertaining to sustainable development.
BIO’s aim is clear: to support small and medium-sized companies by providing them with capital as well as a range of financial services.
In the majority of developing countries, these companies fail to
get appropriate financing and support. That is to say that these
companies are in need for investments which can eventually
significantly contribute to the development of local economies.
Five years of continuous work in these investment projects. Five
years of unchanging commitment during which BIO’s staff has been
supporting local entrepreneurs in a financially responsible way.
“When people think of cooperation with developing countries,
they only see development aid. They only think of pumps that are
installed somewhere in the African desert. Those pumps are use-
ful and important but that is not BIO’s mission. Our projects must
in the first place offer added value to the countries or regions in-
volved. This means we can ensure a financial future for the local
entrepreneurs and hopefully for a large proportion of the local
population. In addition to the economic and financial aspects, we
also deem the social, ethical and environmental issues as essential,”
says Didier Malengreau, responsible for BIO’s investments in Asia.

• BIO is a limited company under public law. The shares are equally
divided between the Belgian State, represented by the Minister
of Development Cooperation, and the Belgian Corporation for
International Investment/BMI.
• The Board of Directors has twelve members, of whom eight are
appointed by the federal government. The Investment Commit-
tee includes five members: four directors and the CEO.
• The investment funds come from the federal budget for
Development Cooperation.
• BIO is bound by an investment charter and has concluded agree-
ments with the Belgian State for the good management of the
funds entrusted to it.
European cooperation
BIO is an active partner within European Development Finance
Institutions (EDFI) and European Financing Partners (EFP).
EDFI is a group of 15 European institutions for bilateral development
financing and was established in 1992. The main objective is to
promote cooperation between the members and to strengthen
their relationship with the European Union and in particular with
the European Commission as well as with the European Investment
Bank.
EFP, a joint initiative of the European Investment Bank and ten
members of EDFI was launched in 2004. EFP has funds worth
e175 million (e100 million from the Investment bank and e75 million
from contributing partners). These funds are utilized to promote
financing of SME projects in the ACP-countries.

BIO invests directly in local SMEs, through its SME Fund. However,
the analysis of such investments requires a lot of time as BIO always
endeavours to assessing a project on site and to meeting the local
entrepreneurs “on the shop floor”. The number of projects which can
be implemented as a result is (too) limited compared to the applica-
tions that reach BIO each year.
That is why BIO also invests, by way of its Development fund, in finan-
cial institutions such as banks, investment funds, leasing companies
and microfinancing structures. These institutions are close to the
local entrepreneur and apply the same criteria and values as BIO.
BIO targets micro, small and medium-sized companies …
BIO consequently differentiates itself from other development
financiers by purposely targeting micro, small and medium-sized
private companies. In most of developing countries, these companies
are a majority. Almost all of them face a major problem: scarce
access to financing on the medium and long term. Investing in
these companies consequently answers an essential need and can
also have a favourable influence on the development of local
economies.
… new and existing companies
BIO invests in both new and existing companies that are in need for
expansion financing. BIO’s investment policy is unbound. This means
that the local company has no obligation to work with a Belgian
partner.
BIO provides tailor-made financial solutions at market conditions.
…and the poorest countries.
In addition to financial criteria such as corporate governance and a healthy financial situation, BIO
considers social, ethical and environmental criteria to be equally important in the selection of projects.
BIO targets the poorest countries that are classified by the OECD as:
• the least developed countries,
• countries with a low income,
• countries with an average income, lower segment.
BIO has three funds available, financed by the Belgian State, that must comply with the following
criteria:
• The Development Fund and Local Currency Fund: minimum 70% of the funds must be invested
in intermediary structures (banks, investment funds, etc.) primarily aimed at the least developed
countries/LDC and with an emphasis on the partner countries of the Belgian Development
Cooperation;
• SME-Fund: exclusively investments in the form of loans of up to e700 000 with an investment effort
of 2/3 aimed at the partner countries of the Belgian Development Cooperation;
• BIO also manages two lines of subsidy on behalf of the Belgian State: a Technical Assistance Facility
and a Study Fund.

Private individuals and small independents in developing countries
usually approach commercial banks in vain. The latter consider
these customers as poor borrowers who can rarely or never give any
guarantee. Microfinancing focuses on this target group.
The system proves that less fortunate people are credit-worthy.
Worldwide, 97% of the customers pay back their microcredit in
time, which closely matches the performance of commercial banks.
Microfinancing Institutions provide not only credit, but also a whole
range of financial services such as savings accounts. By granting loans
to their clients, they allow them to build up capital, which will be
mainly spent on education, health, housing,… If the disadvantaged
have a stronger financial position, they are also less dependent on
exploitation for example by profiteers. They can stand more
securely on their own two feet which gradually shifts social power
relations. Microfinancing therefore truly activates the process of
‘empowerment’.
In other words it is no coincidence that Muhammad Yunus, the founder
of microcredit, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. The
Bengalese economist and banker was praised for ”his efforts to make
economic and social developments possible from the down up”.
Yet microfinancing is no miracle. It does not solve everything but
does create opportunities. As a result more can be done to fulfil these
opportunities in the most efficient way. That is why microfinancing
cannot be considered separately from other development activities.
BIO has become the main Belgian investor in micro-financing
institutions. BIO implements strict ethical standards when it assesses
a microfinancing institution: a loan provided by these of institutions
means a debt to the creditor, who must be able to reimburse that
debt. BIO only invests in institutions that provide loans on the basis of
the solvency of the borrower.

Money... and a lot more
The funds made available by the federal government to BIO must be
used in an optimal way. Therefore, BIO carries out a thorough analysis
for every investment project to determine whether it meets the
development criteria. Each project must eventually be consistent with
BIO’s objectives.
BIO has a large range of instruments, which cover the entire investment
cycle of a private company and can be made available to the local
entrepreneur.
• Subsidies for studies
A healthy economy can only rely on a dynamic and growing private
sector. Unfortunately many small companies fail to be successful.
By carefully assessing a plan or project, entrepreneurs can also
significantly increase their chances of succeeding. Therefore it is
also recommended to carry out a technical and financial feasibility
analysis, both for newly created businesses and for companies with
an expansion strategy. This investigation is an important tool in asses-
sing the management team, the market situation and the financial
viability of the investments.
“Our Study Fund helps entrepreneurs who want to carry out a fea-
sibility analysis. With this fund, we support up to half of the total costs
with a maximum of e100 000 per project,” says Mostafa Ouezekhti,
Manager of the Study Fund.
“Each project that I receive is very specific. That makes it tough on the
one hand but also very interesting. Each time, I learn something new.
I still remember my first case. It came from a rose grower in Uganda.
He wanted to grow 1 000 types of roses at high altitude. After having
spent time with him, I learned so much that I have now become a bit
of a rose expert myself.”
Mostafa Ouezekhti is a fiery advocate of his projects. “Whether it is a
fish farm in Senegal, organic chicken in Cameroon or ecotourism in
Rwanda, I will stand up for them all with the same dedication.”

• Long-term financing
BIO’s Development Fund provides equity, quasi-equity and loans with amounts ranging from
e700 000 to e5 million per project. The financing is also possible in the local currency. This Fund supports
financial institutions (e.g. banks, leasing companies, microfinancing institutions) and investment funds.
It also provides direct investments to medium-sized companies that offer a clear growth potential.
Sissi Frank is one of the Investment Officers. She is responsible for projects in Latin America. “It is my duty to
investigate the investment opportunities. We get requests through various channels: colleagues from other
DFIs (Development Finance Institutions), financial partners or, increasingly, directly from entrepreneurs
we meet during our trips relating to different projects.”
• Support of SMEs
The SME Fund exclusively provides direct financing to SMEs. These companies are the main source of
employment both in developed and emerging countries. Moreover, they ensure a regular economic growth
and social stability.
By providing direct loans of up to e700 000, BIO lowers the threshold and allows SMEs in developing
countries to attract appropriate financing.
The SME Fund evaluates expansion plans and new projects based on a solid business plan. The Fund focuses
on SMEs with an annual turnover lower than e40 million. It’s a deliberate choice as it allows BIO to be a
major partner in financing their growth and strengthening their position.
“Direct investments allow us to decide ourselves which sectors we want to support. As we have personal contacts with the entrepreneurs, we get a better sense of what is happening on the market in which we invest”, Paul Goossens, Manager of the SME Fund
emphasises.
The majority of SME projects are located in Africa as well as in the farming sector and light industry.
“A typical example is a project in Senegal, where we invest in a new company that sells mineral water in
bags. This has proven to be a very interesting market at a local level.”

• Technical assistance
Finally BIO also supports technical assistance. Technical assistance is
a powerful tool to achieve the objectives of the companies in which
BIO invests. BIO provides financial support by means of grants, to
give them a chance to significantly develop their capacity and to
expand the know-how and skills of their staff. This way they must be
able to face major challenges such as a continuous improvement of
profitability, introduction of processes in order to attain a more efficient
way or working, development of new products and technologies
and expansion of the service package. BIO is a major partner for all
companies involved, as it provides not only financial investments, but
also financial support for technical and business solutions, seminars
and training programmes and management development.
• Evaluation system
BIO is working on a new evaluation system to assess not only the return
on investment of a project, but also its development impact. The study
involves several indicators and aims to give an actual representation
of all aspects of the project.
These assessments are essential as BIO applies strict business standards
such as risk management, but also regards corporate governance,
social ethics and environmental issues as crucial elements.

BIO commenced in 2002 and has recently completed its fifth year of
activity. A short overview:
During the first year of activity, BIO took a careful start. In that year
it received 46 investment applications, which resulted in five signed
contracts.
Over the next four years BIO set greater steps. Thanks to its growing
reputation, the number of investment applications increased. In
2006 it received no less than 226 applications. Thirteen contracts
were actually signed and 8 cases were approved by the Board of
Directors.
In the first five years BIO received a total of 607 requests for investments, resulting in 46 signed contracts, with an investment portfolio of almost e110 million.
B I o W E I G H S I t U P
The decision-making process at BIO proceeds through various
phases.
• EachapplicationreachingBIOissubjecttoafirstinternal
screening.
• In the event of a positive assessment, a so-called ‘admission
approval’ is put in writing, and subsequently submitted to
the Investment Committee.
• When the Investment Committee gives a green light, an
‘investment analysis’ is presented to the Board of Directors
who approves or rejects the project.
• After approval by the Board of Directors, the contract is
negotiated and (usually also) signed, although certain
circumstances, such as political unrest, may result in
the agreement not being signed or a project not being
implemented.

If we look at the geographic spread (graph 2), we see a relatively balanced distribution between
the various continents. Whilst in 2002 only 4% of the projects were located in Africa, this figure
rose to 32% in 2006. 36% of the projects were to be found in Latin America in the first year, where
as today this is 23%.
In 2006 there was also a balance between loans and equity with respect to the various forms of
financing (graph 3). If we consider the target groups (graph 4) then it appears that the number
of projects with SMEs has grown.
During the first year of activity, subscriptions to capital were more important than loans.
The number of projects involving SMEs increased significantly in 2006.

Formation expensesIn addition to the notary fees, preliminary
expenses related to the setting up of BIO, the
establishment of the Local Currency Fund and the
SME-Fund, the increase of the financial resources
of the Development Fund, were capitalised.
Formation expenses are depreciated on a straight
line basis over 5 years
Intangible assetsExpenses relating to the purchase of software,
amounting to at least e1,250, are capitalised and
depreciated on a straight line basis over 3 years
from the date of acquisition.
Tangible assetsThis item relates to office furniture, computers and
other office equipment and the furnishing of the
rented facilities. Amounts are capitalised as from
e1,250, depreciation is on a straight line basis
from the month of acquisition over 10 years for
the office furniture, over 3 years for the computer
equipment and pro rata to the remaining term of
the lease agreement.
Financial assetsThis item relates to the investments, irrespective
of their percentage, as described in BIO’s mission
statement. Unallocated cash remains under
investment and/or cash at hand and in bank. The
equity participations and shares are stated at
acquisition cost. Incidental expenses relating to
the acquisition are charged to the financial year
during which they were incurred. With regard
to the unlisted shares, a decrease in value is
applied in the event of capital loss or long-term
depreciation.
These assets will remain valued at a historical
exchange rate. The Board of Directors will
determine case by case from when reductions in
value are lasting and lead to the booking of an
actual short value or reduction in value.
Receivables are valued at nominal value.
Additional costs relating to the acquisition are
charged to the financial year during which they
were incurred. Depreciation takes place if there is
uncertainty as to reimbursement of all or part of
the amount receivable on the due date.
This year, a general provision has been established
for expected short value and reduction in value,
which represents 1,5% of the outstanding
amounts of the Development Fund and the Local
Currency Fund, plus 10% of the outstanding
amounts of the SME Fund. This percentage will
be adapted annually according to the portfolio
turnover and each actual reduction in value will
be compensated by the provision. This provision
will be limited to a maximum of 3% of the
outstanding amounts of the Development Fund
and the Local Currency Fund at the end of each
fiscal year.
If the exchange risk and the currency risk are
covered by a financial instrument that meets the
hedging criteria on an ongoing basis, in terms of
maturity, interest and currency, valuation of the
financial instrument follows the valuation rules
for the underlying asset.
BIO’s liabilities at the end of the fiscal year are
converted at the closing rate of the financial year
and referred off-balance sheet. The submission of
a letter of intent to a potential customer implies
the off-balance sheet registration of the amounts
committed.
The interest and currency risk related to 9 loans
amounting to a total of $16.3 million was covered
by an interest and currency swap (CCIRS/Cross
Currency Interest Rate Swap), converting the
counter value of the future instalments and
interest payments into EUR loans at fixed interest.
Three loans for a total amount of $1,8 million were
covered by 3 future currency contracts.

Amounts receivable within one yearThese amounts mainly refer to the subsidy granted
according to the administration agreement dated
21 December 2006 (e2.000.000).
A provision for reduction in value has been
created to cover an outstanding claim of $53.087
or e44.080,75 resulting from a transfer of shares
to Rwandan Entreprise Investment Company.
Cash at bank and in handThis item includes unallocated cash of which BIO
disposes to implement its corporate mission.
Deposits and long-term accounts with credit
institutions and cash at hand are valued at par.
No value adjustments were applied.
Deferred charges and accrued incomeThis item includes deferred costs (e89.682),
accrued income (e947.977) and positive
conversion variances e72.000. Deferred costs
of e89.682 mainly consist of rent, insurance,
subscriptions, travel expenses and legal fees. The
fees of outside lawyers used in obtaining projects
in portfolio are spread over the duration of the
project or over 10 years, in case of participations
that may remain in the portfolio for an indefinite
period. They are recorded in the deferred
charges line. Accrued income of e947.977 mainly
consists of accrued interest, not overdue on
loans granted. The positive conversion rates to
an amount of e72.000 contain the difference in
rate between the cash rate and cover rate. These
conversion rates are spread over the duration of
the instrument used and the loans.
ReservesThe development certificates are included in
unavailable reserves. Depreciation and capital
losses are directly charged to these certificates
without having to proceed to a modification of
the articles of association. At the end of 2002
€62,070 was charged to the certificates. The result
of the fiscal year 2004 was allotted to the legal
reserve, bringing it up to e74,905. Of the 2005
result (e448,437), e420,882 was allotted to the
legal reserve, which reached its limit of 10% of
the capital. The balance has been transferred
to the next fiscal year. The result of fiscal year
2006 (e2.467.428,48) has been partly allocated
to BIO’s personnel (e80.000) by means of profit
participation and paid as dividend (e1.377.205,71).
The balance will be transferred to the next fiscal
year.
Amounts payable after more than one yearThis column lists the lease due for
telecommunication means. Remaining term to
maturity is less than 5 years. The outstanding debt
resulting from a leasing agreement is calculated
every year in line with the capital value listed in
the contract and the instalments to be paid in
later fiscal years.
Amounts payable within one yearLease debt for telecommunication means,
falling due in the fiscal year, are listed in this
column. Commercial debts comprise e44.228 of
outstanding invoices and e15.232 of receivable
invoices. Tax debt includes preliminary
corporation tax (not due yet) of e64.062. Debts
relating to remunerations and social security
concern the provision for statutory holiday pay
and a wage balance of December 2006 amount
to a grand total of e269.804.
The remaining debts amounting to e1.457.206
relate to the due profit participation and dividend
payment consequent to the distribution of profits
for 2006.
Deferred charges and accrued incomeThis column includes costs to be charged
amounting to e699.782. This is mainly the
provision for interest incurred and not due to
the CCIRS contracts amounting to e326.351
and a subsidy of e373.431 granted by contract.
The accrued income amounts to e2.742.361,
including TA and Study Fund subsidies, which will
be granted in later fiscal years.
