4 Statement of the Board Chair The year 2014 ushered in a transition in ICRISAT s journey for an inclusive and sustainable development in the drylands. The past year saw a changing of the guard with the conclusion of the 15-year dynamic leadership of Dr William Dar as Director General, paving the way for a new and vibrant management under Dr David Bergvinson. With this transition comes an invigorated commitment to tackle the challenges of poverty, hunger, malnutrition and environmental degradation, and to fulfill a dedication to serve poor rural communities of the world. As Chair of the ICRISAT Governing Board, I am pleased to report that our total unrestricted net asset at the end of 2014 was US$ 34.5 M, and that we were in full compliance with the CGIAR-recommended financial performance indicators. With an excellent science and institutional health, stronger partnerships, and a stable funding, we remain committed to translating our development partner investments into publicly available agricultural research for development (AR4D) outputs. Along with our broad network of partnerships and long experience in AR4D, we are well-positioned to generate science-based solutions intended for the poor, smallholder farmers in the dryland tropics. In 2014, the Board has decided to boost the institute s AR4D in sub-saharan Africa (SSA) by investing US$ 5 million towards upgrading research infrastructure and building scientific skills across the continent. This is particularly intended for countries where ICRISAT has its sub-saharan Africa offices, namely Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Ethiopia, and where food security is a major challenge at both national and household levels. We are also pleased and honored to report that Dr Kanayo Nwanze, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), visited the global headquarters in 2014, and underscored the need to elevate the IFAD-ICRISAT partnership to make farming a profitable business in the marginalized regions of the world. Five ICRISAT Ambassadors of Goodwill were also added to the prestigious lineup of champions of our mission, all passionate to our cause of building prosperity and ensuring food security for the smallholder farmers. They are: Dr Akinwumi Adesina, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Dr Nigel Poole, former ICRISAT Board Chair; Prof. MS Swaminathan, renowned agricultural scientist and Father of s Green Revolution; Ms Saina Nehwal, Olympic badminton medalist and youth icon of ; and Hon John Kerin AM, Chair of the Crawford Fund and former Australian Minister for Primary Industries and Energy, and for Trade and Overseas Development. Among ICRISAT s many strategic, high-quality AR4D and partnership achievements for 2014, I am pleased to highlight the following: establishment of the West African Agri-Business Resource Incubator (WAARI) in Mali in partnership with UniBRAIN-FARA; successful sequencing of the genome of the peanut as part of the International Peanut Genome Initiative (IPGI); adoption of a gender transformative approach in ICRISAT s AR4D initiatives; launch of One Agriculture-One Science a consortium of agricultural education and research institutes across Asia, Africa and USA to revitalize agricultural education; and completion of a comprehensive assessment of climate change impacts on smallholder farming systems in Eastern and Southern Africa. On behalf of the Governing Board, I thank ICRISAT s dedicated staff and officials, our donors and partners, and all our stakeholders for making science and partnerships come together to accelerate the pace of development in pursuit of a pathway to lasting prosperity in the world s poorest and most disadvantaged regions the dryland tropics. Chandra A Madramootoo Chair, ICRISAT Governing Board 1

5 Management Representation The accompanying financial statements of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) are prepared in conformity with the CGIAR Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices Manual Financial Guidelines Series No.2 ICRISAT maintains a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial transactions are properly recorded and that the financial statements prepared give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Institute. ICRISAT invests its funds in line with the policy approved by the Governing Board and regularly updates the Governing Board on the implementation of the policy. The Governing Board of ICRISAT engaged KPMG to audit the consolidated financial statements of ICRISAT and issue reports thereon. Their audit is conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. The auditors report is attached. The Governing Board of ICRISAT exercises its responsibility for these financial statements through its Audit Committee and Executive Committee.

Rajesh Agrawal Assistant Director General, Finance David J Bergvinson Director General 2

6 Board Statement on Risk Management The Governing Board of ICRISAT has the responsibility for ensuring that an appropriate risk management system is in place, which enables management to identify and take steps to mitigate significant risks to the achievement of the Institute s objectives. Risk management and mitigation is regularly practiced at ICRISAT, which includes implementation of appropriate internal control systems. Such controls by their nature are designed to manage, rather than eliminate risks. ICRISAT also endeavors to manage risk by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and people are in place throughout the Institute. ICRISAT has adopted a risk management policy, which has detailed guidelines on managing key risks, which include risks in the areas of research, staff, investments, finances, and infrastructure. The policy includes a framework by which the Institute s management identifies risks, evaluates and prioritizes risks, develops risk mitigation strategies that balance benefits with costs, monitors the implementation of these strategies, takes necessary corrective actions, and reports to the Governing Board. The Board has reviewed the implementation of the policy and is satisfied that ICRISAT has adopted and implemented a comprehensive risk management system.

14 International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) Notes to the Financial Statements 1. (a) Background The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is a non-profit organization that conducts agricultural research for development in sub-saharan Africa and Asia with a wide array of partners throughout the world. It was established on 28 March 1972 by virtue of an agreement between the Government of and CGIAR. ICRISAT helps empower smallholder farmers overcome poverty, hunger and malnutrition, through making agriculture profitable and sustainable. We achieve this through scientific advancements and working in partnership. ICRISAT is headquartered in Patancheru, Telangana,, with two regional hubs and six country offices in sub-saharan Africa. Owing to its international status and based on the arrangements with the host country governments, ICRISAT operates under a general immunity from local laws, taxes and customs duties. Its activities are supported through grants by donor nations, World Bank and foundations. (b) CGIAR Research Programs In 2011, the CGIAR Consortium introduced a new program-based approach to fund research activities. Donors to the CGIAR, represented by the Fund Council, approved the creation of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs). Each CRP is led by a designated CGIAR Center (Lead Center), which is responsible, through a Program Implementation Agreement (PIA), for overseeing the implementation of the CRP by program partners. Partners include other CGIAR Centers and institutions who are subcontracted by the Lead Center through a Program Participant Agreement (PPA) or other suitable contracting arrangement. ICRISAT is the Lead Center for the CRPs on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals, effective 1 July Fund donors may designate their contribution to one or more of the three funding. For Window 1 funds, the Fund Council sets the overall priorities and makes specific decisions such as allocation to CRPs, payment of system costs and any other use required to achieve the CGIAR mission. Window 2 funds are contributions designated by Fund Donors to one or more CRPs. Window 3 funds are contributions designated by the Fund donors to individual centers. 2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of accounting The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with the CGIAR Accounting Policies and Reporting Practices Manual, Financial Guidelines Series No. 2 (FG2) as amended from time to time and approved by the CGIAR Consortium and the Fund Council as part of the Common Operational Framework. 11

15 To align the financial accounting and reporting of the CRPs with FG2 and to harmonize the accounting treatment between and across the Centers, the CGIAR Consortium has issued certain guidelines to supplement FG2 as an advisory note which have been considered in the preparation of these financial statements. (b) Presentation of financial statements All assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses incurred in the respective local currencies are recorded at a rate that approximates the US Dollar on the date of the transaction. At the period end, solely for reporting purposes, monetary assets and liabilities are converted to the US Dollar at the exchange rate prevailing on the reporting date. (c) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FG2 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods. (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, balances with banks, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturity periods of three months or less and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (e) Investments Current investments include fixed deposits with banks that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of more than three months but not exceeding one year. Investments in long term bonds acquired with an intention of disposing the same within a year of the acquisition date have been included in current investments. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the income statement. Investments acquired with the intention to hold for more than a year from the acquisition date are classified as non-current investments and are stated at amortised cost less impairment losses. Debt mutual funds are valued at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognized in the income statement. (f) Inventories Inventories comprise office, laboratory and farm supplies, automobiles and maintenance spares, fuel and lubricants. These are stated at cost, net of allowances for slow moving, obsolete and damaged stocks. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. 12

16 (g) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All individual items costing US$ 3,000 and above are capitalised. The cost of fixed assets includes freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets. Depreciation is charged to the statement of activities on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment from the month of capitalization. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Years Physical facilities 60 Equipment: Laboratory and scientific equipment 10 Furniture and office equipment 10 Heavy duty equipment 10 Vehicles 4 Computers 3 Property, plant and equipment acquired through restricted grants are classified under assets purchased from restricted projects. The ownership of such assets remains with the respective donors until the donor expressly reverts the ownership of such assets to ICRISAT upon completion of the project. Hence these assets are not reflected as part of ICRISAT s property, plant and equipment. Such assets acquired from restricted grants are depreciated at the rate of 100% in the year of acquisition. (h) Revenue Recognition Unrestricted grants are pledged on an annual basis and are recognized as revenue in the year for which the grant is pledged. Restricted grants, (CRPs and Non CRPs) which may be pledged for more than a year, are recognized as revenue only to the extent, the grant conditions have been met. Revenue includes grants made in the capacity of a Lead Centre to other participating CGIAR Centers. Grants-in-kind are recognized as revenue based on communication from donor, specifying the amount of expenditure towards relevant restricted projects. Interest on investment of funds is recognized using the time proportion method, based on underlying interest rates. Dividend on investments is recognized when right to receive dividend is established. (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the foreign exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated to the US Dollar at the foreign exchange rate prevailing on that date. Foreign non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar are converted to the US Dollar at exchange rate 13

17 prevailing on the date of the transaction. The Institute s operations at its two regional hubs and six country offices in sub-saharan Africa form an integral part of the Institute s operations and assets and liabilities of these centers are consolidated along with the overall assets and liabilities at ICRISAT. The revenues and expenses of two regional hubs and six country offices in sub-saharan Africa are translated to US Dollar at rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions and are included in the statement of activities of ICRISAT. Exchange differences arising on settlement of foreign currency transactions, forward contracts, and translations at the balance sheet date are recognized as expense or income, as the case may be, in the statement of activities for the year. The premium or discount on a forward exchange contract taken to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset/liability is recognized over the period of the contract and the differences between the exchange rates prevailing at the time of entering the contract and exchange rates at the date of balance sheet are recognized as income or expense. (j) Employee benefits (i) Defined Contribution plans Internationally Recruited Staff (IRS) Retirement benefits of the IRS are managed by The Association of International Agricultural Research Centres (AIARC), an autonomous body providing comprehensive payroll management services to various agricultural research organizations worldwide. Payments to AIARC include defined contributions towards the IRS retirement benefits, which exonerates ICRISAT of all further liabilities on this account. Nationally Recruited Staff (NRS) Obligations for contributions towards defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in the statement of activities as incurred. (ii) Defined Benefit plans Pension, Gratuity and Leave encashment The Institute s obligation in respect of Pension, Gratuity and Leave encashment, which are defined benefit plans, are determined based on an actuarial valuation carried out by an independent qualified actuary and the net present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets is recognized as a liability at the balance sheet date. Relocation The Institute s present obligation in respect of relocation expenses payable is estimated for all eligible employees in accordance with the contractual obligations with such employees and policies of the Institute. (iii) Other Separation costs Employee termination benefits, such as Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) to be settled in monthly or annual instalments, post retirement are recorded as an obligation as earned. 14
