Chairperson’s Statement

It is my pleasure as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of Arusha International Conference Centre, to report a turnover of TShs 8,174,864,843 as compared to TShs 7,873,802,224 last year.

This Annual Report presents the AICC’s achievements over the past year and illustrates how the Centre has positioned itself in spearheading Business Tourism in Tanzania. During this fi nancial year the Board continued to guide the Centre in implementing, formulating new policies and guidelines; in doing so the Board approved the Estates Management Policy, Centre’s Motor Vehicle Use Policy, Joint Venture Policy and the Centre’s Customer Service Charter.

Despite the challenging economic conditions, the Centre has managed to deliver exceptional services to its clientele.

The Centre’s Board of Directors is presently preoccupied with harnessing and exploiting AICC landed property potential to ensure that it plays a more meaningful contribution in social and economic development of the country. Such eff orts include working closely with the Government and other stakeholders to build a modern convention centre in Arusha. Similarly, modernization and upgrading of the current facilities and residential houses in Arusha is continued.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to commend and thank the Centre’s Management and employees for yet another good year in “bringing the world to Tanzania”.

Managing Director’s Statement

Over view

The Centre’s achievement is measured in far more than fi nancial statistics. The last fi nancial year saw AICC moving closer to achieving its mission of promoting and providing quality business tourism services to national and international clientele for enhanced national socio-economic development. This mission encompasses the major aspect of Centre’s core business.

Operational Results

During the year under report, the Centre registered a turnover of TShs 8,174,864,843 as compared to TShs 7,873,802,224 recorded in previous fi nancial year. The revenue sources are Estates, Conferences and Hospital. The increase in income was attributed by gain in exchange rate fl uctuations.

In this fi nancial year, the Centre realized a profi t of TShs 531,605,320 after tax as compared to TShs 988,890,286 recorded last year. The decreased profi t was due to increased prices of commodities coupled with the exchange rate fl uctuations which aff ected expenditures drivers.

AICC Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative (CSR)

Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC) believes that its business cannot grow if it operates in a non-sustainable social and economic and environment. It is for this reason the Centre has a clear Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative committed to contributing towards the sustainable social and economic development of Arusha communities and Tanzania as a whole.

To achieve this, for the period of 2010/2011 AICC through its CSR Initiative had supported various community initiatives and the general public such as schools, communities, vulnerable individuals, and students, to mention but a few. However special mention is attributed to the contribution made as a consolation to the victims of Gongo la Mboto bomb blasts in Dar es Salaam. The total support given out for the period is amounting to 25,848,500.

Practical training window for students

AICC, in collaboration with training institutions offi cered opportunities for practical training to students from all over Tanzania to obtain skills and experience in diff erent fi elds of studies by working at the Centre for a period from one month to six months. Specifi c focus areas included conferences & marketing, fi nance, administration, estates, hospital and public relations & protocol. During the year under review, a number of these interns were off ered employment elsewhere.

Arusha international Conference Centre I Annual Report 2011

Governance

The good Governance process at AICC has been tested, is being tested and will continue to be tested. As for any other corporate process, several things are involved: the internal controls which aim at checking possible lopsided or lop siding; and, on the other hand, risk management which is geared toward identifying, assessing, deciding on response to, and reporting on opportunities and threats that aff ect the achievement of its objectives. While it is the duty of the Management to ensure that the governance process is handled with due care, the Board of Directors through its various committees has continuously ensured that good governance is given the priority it deserves. It is on this premises that AICC has managed to cross over the fi nancial year 2010/11 with minimal adverse impact on issues relating to governance and readying for future trials.

The internal audit unit, while mainly tasked for assurance and consulting service to the organization by evaluating and improving the eff ectiveness of risk management, controls and governance process, during the ending fi nancial year spent almost half of its productive time in consulting assignments. Most of these assignments were conducted in team-working, aimed at fostering an environment that give assurance that controls are not only in place but also that they are current, aligned to other public policies and regulations and at the same time, working for the betterment of the organization and its stakeholders.

During the fi nancial year 2010/11, employees of the Centre, without whom many operating activities wouldn’t be achieved, played an important role in ensuring achievement of governance process at the Centre.

AUDIT REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REF: REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ARUSHA

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2011 I have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of the Arusha International Conference Centre

which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 30th June, 2011, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes set out from pages 9 to 29 of this report.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of fi nancial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Responsibility Of The Controller And Auditor General My responsibility as an auditor is to express an independent opinion on the fi nancial statements based

on the audit. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI) and such other audit procedures I considered necessary in the circumstances. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures

in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depended on auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the Arusha International Conference Centre's preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the eff ectiveness of the Centre's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.

In addition, Sect. 10 (2) of the PAA of 2008 requires me to satisfy myself that the fi nancial statements have been kept in accordance with the appropriate accounting standards and that; reasonable precautions have been taken to safeguard the collection of revenue, the receipt, custody, disposal, issue and proper use of public property, and that the law, directions and instructions applicable thereto have been dully observed, expenditures of public monies have been properly authorised.

Furthermore, Sect.44 (2) of the Public Procurement Act No. 21 of 2004 and Regulation No. 31 of the

Public Procurement (Goods, Works, Non-consultant services and Disposal of Public Assets by Tender) Regulations of 2005 requires me to state in my annual audit report whether or not the auditee has complied with the provisions of the Law and its Regulations.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for my

audit opinion. UNQUALIFIED OPINION In my opinion, the fi nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial position of

the Arusha International Conference Centre as at 30th June, 2011, and its fi nancial performance and its cash fl ows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and comply with the Public Audit Act No. 11 of 2008 and the Arusha International Conference Centre (Establishment) Order, 1978 issued under Government Notice No. 115 published on 25th August, 1978.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS Compliance with Public Procurement Act In view of my responsibility on the procurement legislation, and taking into consideration the

procurement transactions and processes reviewed as part of this audit, the Arusha International Conference Centre has generally complied in all material respects with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act, 2004 and its related Regulations of 2005.

Arusha international Conference Centre I Annual Report 2011

NOTES ON THE ACCOUNTS

NOTE: 1 LEGAL STATUS Arusha International Conference Centre was established under the Public Corporations Act,

1969, by a Presidential Order, viz, the Arusha International Conference Centre (Establishment) Order, issued through Government Notice No. 115 published on the 25th August, 1978.

The main objectives for which the Centre was established include:- To manage and control the headquarters complex of the defunct East African Community

and all other premises and lands in Arusha City which belonged to the defunct East African Community.

To provide facilities and services in the complex for the purposes of conferences, meetings, seminars, etc.

The Centre is a public corporation incorporated under the Public Corporation Act, 1969

and domiciled in Arusha city. The address of the registered offi ce is P. O. Box 3081, Arusha. Tanzania.

NOTE: 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION The fi nancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. No

adjustments have been made for infl ationary factors aff ecting the accounts. The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical

accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Centre’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are signifi cant to the fi nancial statements are separately disclosed in a note.

NOTE: 3 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING

STANDARDS The fi nancial statements for the year ended 30th June, 2011 and the comparative fi gures for

the previous year have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and all applicable interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Centre adopted IFRSs in the fi nancial year ended 30th June, 2005 with a transition date being 1st July, 2003.

NOTE: 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 4.1 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 4.1.1 Owned Assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost as deemed cost less accumulated depreciation

and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Certain items of property, plant and equipment that had been revalued to fair value on or prior

to 1st July, 2003, the date of transition to IFRSs, are measured on the basis of deemed cost, being the revalued amount at the date of that revaluation.

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is

classifi ed as property, plant and equipment and stated at cost until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassifi ed as investment property.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have diff erent useful lives, they are

accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. 4.1.2 Revaluation During the year ended 30th June, 2008 the Centre revalued its items of Property, Plant and

Equipment comprising of Plant and Machinery, Offi ce, Conference and Hospital Furniture and Equipment and Domestic Furniture and Equipment. Thus, adopting the revaluation model. The eff ective date of revaluation was 31st December, 2007. The revaluation of such items in future would be conducted after every fi ve years. The revaluation surplus would be credited to a Revaluation Reserve Account.

4.1.3 Subsequent Costs Subsequent costs (major renovation costs) are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are

recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Centre and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the fi nancial year in which they are incurred.

4.1.4 Depreciation Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line

method to reduce the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life at a given rate per annum as detailed below:

Asset Description Rate Per Annum % Buildings 1.5 Plant and Machinery 12.5 Offi ce, Conference and Hospital Furniture 10.0 Offi ce, Conference and Hospital Equipment 20.0 Domestic Furniture and Equipment 15.0 Motor Vehicles 25.0 Fixtures and Fittings 10.0 Depreciation is charged on assets from the date when they are ready for use and stop on the

date when the asset is derecognized by the Centre. Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are credited/charged to the statement of comprehensive income.

4.2 INVESTMENT PROPERTY Investment property is a property which is held either to earn rental income or for capital

appreciation or for both. Cost model is the policy adopted by the Centre for measuring investment property.

Investment property is stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.

4.2.1 Subsequent Costs Subsequent costs (major renovation costs) are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are

recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Centre and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the fi nancial year in which they are incurred.

Investment property that had been revalued to fair value on or prior to 1st July, 2003, the date

of transition to IFRSs, is measured on the basis of deemed cost, being the revalued amount at the date of that revaluation.

4.2.2 Depreciation Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on buildings is calculated using the straight-line method

to reduce the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life at a rate of 1.5% per annum.

Depreciation is charged on investment properties from the date when they are ready for use

and stop on the date when the respective asset is derecognized by the Centre.

Investment properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the

carrying amount and are credited/charged to the statement of comprehensive income.

4.3 INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets, including computer software, that are acquired by the Centre are stated at

cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. 4.3.1 Subsequent Costs Subsequent costs on capitalized intangible assets are capitalized only when they increase the

future economic benefi ts embodied in the specifi c asset to which they relate. All other costs are expensed as incurred.

4.3.2 Amortisation Amortisation is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis

over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefi nite. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefi nite useful life are systematically tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life for the computer software is 5 years.

4.4 INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the

estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost is based on the fi rst in fi rst out (FIFO) principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. The FIFO principle has been consistently applied.

4.5 PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF RECEIVABLES Receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value

less provision for impairment. Specifi c provision is made in the fi nancial statements against receivables considered to be doubtful of recovery.

presentation currency. 4.6.2 Transactions and Balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into Tanzanian shillings at the rates of exchange

ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities at the year end expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Tanzanian shillings at the rates of exchange ruling at the end of the fi nancial year. The resultant gains/losses on exchange rate translations are dealt with in the statement of comprehensive income.

4.11 PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Centre has a present legal or constructive obligation as

a result of past events, it is probable that an outfl ow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. When the Centre expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

4.12 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS Assets that have an indefi nite life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for

impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets’ carrying amount exceeds

its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is separately identifi able cash fl ows (cash generating units).

4.13 EMPLOYEES BENEFITS 4.13.1 Retirement Bene� ts Arusha International Conference Centre has statutory obligations to contribute to various

pension schemes in favour of all the employees employed under permanent and pensionable terms. The pension schemes in force which the Centre contributes include the Parastatal Pension Fund (PPF) and National Social Security Fund (NSSF).

Contributions to these funds are recognised as an expense in the period the employees render

the related services. The Centre has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Funds

have no suffi cient assets to pay all employees the benefi ts relevant to their services in the current and prior period.

4.13.2 Short Term Bene� ts The cost of all short-term employee benefi ts such as salaries, employees entitlements to leave

pay, medical aids, long service award, other contributions, etc. are recognised during the period in which the employees render the related services.

4.13.3 Termination Bene� ts Termination benefi ts are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before

the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange of these benefi ts.

4.14 RISK MANAGEMENT Risk is an inherent feature of the activities of any institution. Arusha International Conference

Centre endeavours to manage risk by having in place appropriate functional structures, systems and procedures. These structures, systems and procedures evolve continuously in response to changes in the environment in which the Centre operates. The following are the main types of risks the Centre is exposed to in the course of executing its operations:

- Operational Risk - Liquidity Risk - Credit Risk (i) Operational Risk Operational risk is the risk of loss both fi nancial and non-fi nancial resulting from inadequate

systems, management failures, ineff ective internal control processes, fraud, theft, and human errors. The Centre addresses this risk, inter alia, through ensuring existence of a sound internal control system.

Managing operational risk in the Centre is an integral part of the day to day operations by the

management. This risk is closely monitored by management and the Board of Directors.

(ii) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Centre faces by not having adequate funds to settle day to day

obligations as they fall due. The Centre has a prudent liquidity risk management through which it maintains suffi cient cash to cover committed credit facilities received, working capital as well as capital project requirements. Liquidity risk management by the Centre includes forward planning and close monitoring by the fi nance department.

(iii) Credit Risk Potential credit risk involves short term cash deposits and trade and other receivables. Risk

relating to short term cash deposits is managed through ensuring that cash surpluses are deposited with banks of high credit standing.

Management of risk associated with trade and other receivables includes prompt invoicing,

close follow up and requiring regular customers to deposit money in advance to cover for services to be rendered.
