BACKGROUND The separatist action in Upper Garabagh together with external aggression resulted in about 900,000 Internally Displaced People ("IDP") and refugees living in the Republic of Azerbaijan. Facing the declining international support for humanitarian assistance and unrealistic prospects for early peace settlement that would permit the return of IDP's to their former homes, the Government of Azerbaijan ("the Government") has decided to take steps that would reduce dependence of IDP on humanitarian aid and at the same time improve their living conditions and living standards. This involved the development of a system of realistic arrangements and the organisation of new possibilities for the destitute families in an adequate socio-economic situation with provision of conditions for self-life support based on attraction of donors by the Government. For the achievement of these goals the Government has started the construction of new "compact" settlements with the required infrastructure and repatriation to these settlements of IDP's living in the worst conditions. The strategy of the Government was officially sanctioned by issuance of the Presidential Decree #895 of 17 September 1998 and confirmed with the international organisations in a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Government of Azerbaijan and UNDP, UNHCR and the World Bank on 23 February 1999. Subsequently, the Government has issued a number of orders for the realisation of the new strategy. Objectives of the state strategy were detailed by the Decree #298 of 1 July 2004 of President of Azerbaijan. The accepted strategy targets transition from humanitarian assistance to the development programmes. However, this problem cannot be solved in a conventional way within a short time and consequently innovative and realistic methods are required. To address these issues the Government of Azerbaijan has decided to set up the Social Fund for the Development of IDP's ("SFDI") with the assistance of the World Bank and other donors by Presidential Decree on 6 December 1999. SFDI is an integral part of the Government of Azerbaijan's strategy to improve the living conditions of IDP's. It is a social development agency that manages funds allocated for needs of IDP's in a sustainable manner. SFDI is an autonomous organisation reporting to a Supervisory Board which is headed by the Chairman of the Azerbaijan Republic's Committee for Refugees and IDP's and consists of the representatives of various state agencies such as the Deputy Minister of Finance and representatives from various international agencies. SFDI has an independent financial and management system and is a non-profit organisation. The legal address of SFDI is 57 Tbilisi Avenue, Baku, Azerbaijan; the actual address is 65 Fuzuli Street, Baku, Azerbaijan. According to its Charter SFDI has two key objectives: i. raising the living standards of IDP's by providing required funding for the rehabilitation of small- scale social and economic infrastructure; ii. implementation of actions ensuring creation of new work places, increasing the employment rate of the population and providing opportunities for income-generating activities through the financing of various community micro-projects and the implementation of microfinance programmes. SFDI finances the programmes in two main directions: Community Micro - Projects (CMP) CMPs address community needs rather than individual needs. CMPs subdivide into (i) infrastructure and (ii) services (non-infrastructure) micro-projects. Infrastructure micro-projects (IMP) include rehabilitation/construction of various infrastructures. Service micro-projects (SMP) consist of cleaning of garbage, waste disposal or support to cultural centres or community activities. Micro - Finance Programmes (MFP) MFPs are income generating programmes for the assistance to the poor IDP's directed to overcome poverty, improve their living standards, increase their income and provide assistance in employment generation in their micro-enterprises through participation of financial intermediaries. 12 SOCIAL FUND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE OF AZERBAIJAN NOTES TO THE COMBINED SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise indicated) NOTE 1. BACKGROUND (CONTINUED) The main sources of finance for SFDI activities are described below: World Bank To finance this Project, in August 1998 the World Bank approved a USD 20 million equivalent IDA credit (cr.31090-AZ) for a "Pilot Reconstruction Project". The credit was complemented by the World Bank financing from different sources such as the United Nations Development Programme ("UNDP"), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ("UNHCR") and the European Union ("EU") and supported by a Government contribution of USD 9.5 million. The purpose of the Programme was to help Azerbaijan rebuild economic and social infrastructure in the war ravaged regions and allow as many IDP as possible to return to their places of origin. To address the needs and help improve the living conditions of IDP from other regions, the World Bank agreed in June 1999 to provide a USD 10 million equivalent "Supplemental Credit" to the "Pilot Reconstruction Project" (Cr.31091-AZ). The Supplemental Credit was to finance the Programme micro- projects with social and economic objectives and to provide micro-credits to enhance the economic opportunities of IDP. The "Pilot Reconstruction Project" closed on 30 June 2005. On 3 June 2005, the World Bank and the Government signed the Project Agreement and the Development Credit Agreement "IDP Economic Development Support Project" ("IDP-EDS") with credit number 4034-AZ whereby IDA agreed to lend to the Government an amount in various currencies equivalent to SDR 7.5 million (seven million five hundred thousand Special Drawing Rights) or USD 11.5 million. This is a "repeater project" that replicates part of the "Pilot Reconstruction Project" (Cr. 31090/31091-AZ), and its objective, like that of its predecessor is to help improve the living conditions of IDP's and enhance their economic opportunities and prospects for social integration. On 15 May 2008, IDA and the Government signed the Project Agreement and the Additional Financing Agreement (credit number 4395-AZ) for the purpose of providing additional financing for the activities related to the Original Project - IDP Economic Development Support Project. IDA agreed to extend a credit of SDR 9.6 million (USD 15.5 million). The credit agreement 4395-AZ provides that the Project is financed by the proceeds received from IDA in the following proportions: Percentage of Amount of credit Pecnaeo Category allocated (SDR) Expenditure to be Financed (%) (1) Works and Goods 8,250,000 72% (2) Consultants' services including audit 575,000 75% (3) Training 10,000 75% (4) Operating Costs 765,000 75% (5) Unallocated - - 9,600,000 On 16 November 2011, IBRD and the Government signed the Project Agreement and the Financing Agreement (credit number 8096-AZ) for the purpose of providing financing for activities related to the IDP Living Standards and Livelihoods Project. IBRD agreed to extend a credit for an amount equivalent to USD 50 million. The closing date is 31 December 2016. 13 SOCIAL FUND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE OF AZERBAIJAN NOTES TO THE COMBINED SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 (Amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise indicated) NOTE 1.

BACKGROUND (CONTINUED) IBRD Credit Agreement 8627-AZ On 23 June 2016, IBRD and the Government signed the Project Agreement and the Financing Agreement (credit number 8096-AZ) for the purpose of providing financing for activities related to the IDP Living Standards and Livelihoods Project. IBRD agreed to extend a credit for an amount equivalent to USD 66.7 million. The closing date is 31 December 2020. The Project consists of the following components: Component A: Micro projects This component will continue to finance demand-driven economic and social infrastructure investments in communities with a significant proportion of IDPs. Micro projects may include (a) repair or rehabilitation of physical infrastructure (for example, water supply, power supply, access roads, drainage systems) and (b) repair or rehabilitation of social infrastructure, such as schools and health centers. The component will also continue to finance community mobilization and outreach for micro-project proposal development. Component B: Housing Renovation and Social and Economic Infrastructure for IDP Settlements Component B will undergo the most changes in scope during the AF stage. In the parent project, the component financed the renovation of IDP collective centers that were in a state of disrepair. The GoA, however, is now aiming to resettle a large number of people currently living in IDP collective centers to 'New Settlements' and has therefore asked for this component to change focus. The GoA will be financing the 'New Settlements' using other financing but has stated that there is a great need to rehabilitate social and economic infrastructure in the 'New Settlements' built before 2005. Component B under the AF will therefore finance multiple small to medium-size infrastructure investments in each of approximately 30 locations, as contrasted with Component A where only one investment is possible at any one time. Component C: Livelihood Support This existing component will be scaled up and expanded geographically. Targeting for the component will also be modified to be more integrated with Components A and B-the component will specifically target communities benefitting from infrastructure investments. In addition, a new subcomponent will be added to Component C that will focus on providing integrated economic support to beneficiaries. The component will, therefore, comprise four subcomponents: (a) Youth Training and Business Development; (b) Income Generating Activities; (c) Provision of Microcredit for IDPs; and (d) (new) Integrative Economic Support Pilot. Component D: Project Management, Implementation Support, and Capacity Building This component will finance project management and capacity building as well as monitoring and evaluation activities. The only change expected under this component is the financing of an impact evaluation. Currently, the project has successfully gathered data on outputs, but there are indications that broader outcomes and impacts of the project are not being successfully captured. Because of this, a firm will be competitively selected to carry out an impact evaluation.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting These combined special purpose financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standard ("IPSAS") Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting issued by the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board ("IPSASB"), an independent standard-setting body within the International Federation of Accountants ("IFAC") and incorporate the following principal accounting policies, which have been consistently followed in all material respects and comply with the World Bank's Guidelines. These combined special purpose financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Programme financing is recognised as a source of funds when the cash is received. Programme expenditure is recognised as a use of funds when payment is made. Transactions in foreign currency The Project is domiciled in the Republic of Azerbaijan where the local currency is the Azerbaijani manat ("AZN"). Because the majority of the Project's transactions are funded and expended in United States dollars and in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank, these special purpose financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("US dollar", "USD" or "US$"), which is the reporting currency of the Project. Transactions in other currencies are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. Cash receipts and payments arising from transactions in a foreign currency are recorded in the Project's reporting currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of receipt and payment. Cash balances held in a foreign currency are reported using the closing rate, which is the spot exchange rate at the reporting date. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not cash receipts and payments. However, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in a foreign currency is reported in the statement of sources and uses of funds and other statements in order to reconcile cash at the beginning and the end of the period. These amounts are presented separately from cash receipts and payments and include the differences, if any, had those cash receipts and payments and balances been reported at end-of-period exchange rates. At 31 December 2016 the official AZN/USD exchange rates set by the Central Bank of Azerbaijan ("CBAR") were 1.7707 and comparative 31 December 2015 were as 1.5594. NOTE 3.
