For the second year in a row, the Moroccan economy has shown resilience in a context marked by an international financial crisis and a slowdown in the world economic growth. This resilience reflects at the same time the relevance of the countercyclical policies implemented by our country and the solidity of its macro-economic fundamentals.
In this context, the Casablanca Stock Exchange “CSE” resists better over the two last years than most emerging financial markets, with a MADEX®Float index which limits to 19% its cumulated losses over two fiscal years in spite of the absence of IPO’s since July 2008 and in spite of investors’ bearishness.
The MASI®Float and MADEX®Float indexes thus closed year 2009 with slight drops, that is to say respectively -4.92% and -6.58%, compared to -13.48% and -13.41% in 2008. The market capitalization declined by only -4.30%, versus -9.31% in 2008, to stand at 508.9 billion Dirhams versus 531.8 in 2008.
Our priorities consisted in restoring investors and issuers’ confidence and giving a new momentum to our teams around a unifying project. With a strong involvement from our administrators, an ambitious 2009 -2015 strategy has been worked out around 3 major development pillars to attract half a million investors, increase the listed firms to 150, and make Casablanca Stock Exchange a regional financial hub.
The implementation of this strategy resulted initially in the strengthening of our teams at the level of the information systems, market operations and human resources, and endowed for the first time with a dedicated management.
In a second phase, our efforts were focused on the security of our information systems through a better separation of the tasks between operations, networks management and maintenance, as well as the production of studies and projects.
A project aiming at ensuring the high availability of our listing platform was also launched and should be brought to a close at the last quarter of 2010.
Audits were carried out which led to the observation of various security issues and to the implementation of a “project management” approach in all our activities.

With the aim of contributing to a new momentum of the financial activity, the Casablanca Stock Exchange organized under the high patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and jointly with the APSB (*), a conference on financial markets under the topic “Together let us build tomorrow’s economy”. This event gathered more than 500 finance professionals and personalities from policy makers to public figures. It also allowed the market’s participants in sharing diverse visions and making new proposals and recommendations in order to unite their efforts around the market recovery.
In responding to our investors’ needs and to improve the liquidity of our financial market, we have established a new Fifth listing phase for the securities listed on a continuous basis known as “Trading at Last”. This allows our investors to seize more market opportunities for an additional five minutes after the closing of the trading session of the day.
In April 2nd, 2009, CSE has adopted a new model of governance shifting from a dual governorship represented by “the Board of Trustees and Supervisory Board” to a corporate one with “the Board of Directors and a General Manager”.
The company’s shareholding structure was strengthened with the entry of a new securities firm, “Capital Trust Securities”, which began its operations in July 2009.
Opening up to the regional and international financial environment was also at the top of our priorities. In this direction, we undertook several activities among them; collaborating with the Arab stock exchanges by chairing the 32nd annual meeting of the UBA (**), consolidating our relation with the “City of London”, and strengthening our relationship with other international financial markets.
To recognize its leadership in contributing to the development of The African financial markets among other stock exchanges in Africa, CSE was awarded the “Second Prize of the Most Innovative Stock Exchange in Africa” by Africa Investor in the last conference event that was held in the New York Stock Exchange.
Lastly, in order to ensure a better accessibility to the stock market’s information, CSE revamped its website by offering additional financial information about the listed companies. The website is available to investors and to the public in three languages; Arabic, French, and English since it was launched in January 2010.
These various projects reinforce our position among other foreign markets specifically in Africa. It also contributes in meeting the demands of our ongoing developments with respect to our economy.
Our people are our most important asset. We do not have material “property, plant and equipment” assets. Rather, we have talented, entrepreneurial professionals who are dedicated to the firm’s mission of supporting economic growth.
In short, our people are central to who we are, to the cohesiveness of our culture, and to our ability to serve with integrity, reliability, and pride the needs of our clients and the market. These achievements would not have been possible without the commitment of our people.
I, thus, take this opportunity to thank them all for playing a key role in our organization and for contributing with effectiveness in realizing our set objectives. I am confident that I can rely on their continued commitment to help us achieve all of our goals and surpass all the challenges which await us.

ACTIVITY
Management of the guarantee scheme
In 2009, the Casablanca Stock Exchange embarked in a vast project for the establishment of a guarantee scheme based on gross flows (transactions), the goal is to review the design of the guarantee scheme in order to follow in details and line per line the outcomes and to facilitate the identification of the transaction in suspense. It also served in establishing the calculation of the risks and to ensure the performance guarantee on the basis of the aforementioned transactions instead of the net flows (movements). This project should become operational in 2010.
Monitoring and Steering of the listing sessions
❱ Establishment of the “Trading At Last” system
Within the framework of the implementation of version 900 of the new system of Quotation (NSC) set up in 2008; Casablanca Stock Exchange launched a new listing phase known as “Trading At Last” on November 2, 2009.
This phase is programmed for the securities listed on a continuous basis during the 5 minutes which follow the closing fixing (from 15:30 to 15:35 hours). It makes it possible to trade at the latest processed price or the reference price in case of failure, the orders typed into the system and carried out partially or not carried out, as well as the orders which could not be typed in during the listing session.
“Trading At Last” confers to investors more possibilities to seize investment opportunities and overall gives more liquidity to the stock market.
In addition, “Trading At Last” gives the possibility of modifying or cancelling some orders, according to well-defined conditions. During this phase, block transactions are not authorized.

Approval of a new brokerage firm
❱ Project of the new Surveillance solution
The Casablanca Stock Exchange’s role is to take care of the compliance of the trading and completion operations carried out by the brokerage firms with the laws and regulations applicable to these operations.

Automation of the bond listing operations
In order to adapt our production system to the market needs, the Casablanca Stock Exchange set up a dedicated platform, allowing for a full automation of all the bond listing operations since their initiation until the generation of the transaction with assignment of a contract number.
All the other operations (declaration of the contributions, declaration of the transfers, management of the public offerings and management of the introductions) are managed in same fashion.
This operation reduces the risks of error and optimizes the management of the market.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Revamping of the hardware platform of NSC
In 2009, the Casablanca Stock Exchange started a project for the revamping of the hardware platform of the new listing system (NSC).
This activity aims at setting up a platform which ensures the high availability of the listing and trading system in the event of failure of a hardware component.
This project will be rolled out in an advanced way in 2010 with NYSE which will support the Casablanca Stock Exchange in the installation, parameter-setting and the tests necessary.
Adoption of the “Single Reference”
On June 1, 2009, the Casablanca Stock Exchange adopted a single reference frame operation for the following reasons: optimizing the exploitation of the information disseminated by the NSC, ensuring the security of back-office treatments, and removing the double entry of data in the three systems (NSC, PROD and WEB).
For this purpose, an adaptation of the decision-making information system and thereafter of the statistical publications of the Casablanca Stock Exchange was carried out.

It also aimed at sharing some thoughts on various subjects; such as the integration of the African capital markets; with representatives of the United Nations, NEPAD and ADB.
On this occasion, the Casablanca Stock Exchange received the 2nd prize of the Most Innovative stock exchange in Africa.
• Organization by the Casablanca Stock Exchange of a visit of the main actors of the Spanish financial markets
The visit of the main players of the Spanish financial markets aimed mainly at sharing; with the Casablanca financial market makers; the Spanish experience with respect to managing public debt.
Several lessons were learned, such as the need for regularity, transparency, and compliance with the financing plan issued by the Treasury.
The emphasis was placed on the usefulness of an electronic platform allowing transparency and liquidity of the national debt market.
Furthermore, a very particular attention was paid to the network of “primary dealers” (also commonly called primary dealers in Treasury securities) guaranteeing the placement of the debt on the primary market, and improving the liquidity on the secondary market.
Finally, the goals of this mission were primarily intended for the entire Moroccan delegation to look further into the issuance and the establishment of an interest rates futures market in Morocco, which will represent a necessary engine to accelerate the reforms; at a large-scale; of the Moroccan financial market.

Publication of the financial statements of 2008 according to IFRS standards
In FY 2008, the Casablanca Stock Exchange presented and published its accounts according the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It is thus the first company in Morocco to comply with these aforementioned standards without presenting consolidated accounts.
This conversion to the international accounting standards testifies to the will of the top management of the company to meet the requirements of globalization and put itself in sync with the international and national community. Not to mention that the Casablanca Stock Exchange is not bound by any legal requirements to represent its Financials as such.
Circular number 04/09 of the Moroccan financial markets authority (CDVM)

rules;
◗ Monitoring the risks which might compromise market operations;
◗ Supplementing and reconciling the information received with that received from other market
players.

Through the organizational mission that was launched in December 2009, job surveys helped defining the missions and the attributions of each employee and executive, and evaluating each one’s performance and skills that is required for the exercise of their functions, as well as determining recruitment needs for 2010.
In parallel to this approach, a new assessment system was launched aiming at defining the individual goals, measuring the degree of control of the laid out positions, and preparing an individual development plan. This led in particular to the development of an ambitious training program for FY 2010 based on 3 major pillars:
◗ The development of technical skills;
◗ The development of managerial skills;
◗ The development of language skills.

INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY
The developed countries
2009 can be qualified as a year of extreme contrasts for the financial markets as well as for the real economy.
Impacted by the paralysis of the interbank market and the collapse of stock markets worldwide, the first quarter of 2009, witnessed a contraction of GDP of the G8 countries. Thanks to the measures taken to stabilize the banking sector; the monetary policies of the central banks; as well as the important governmental budgetary stimulations (787 billion dollars in the United States, i.e. 5.5% of the GDP); the economy of the advanced countries recovered slightly at the start of the third quarter of 2009 to end up on an annual contraction of 3.2 % of the GDP (*).
In this context of recovery of the global economy, improvement of the economic outlooks and drop of the OPEC quotas, the oil prices ended up recovering, and inflation became positive again.
Emerging and developing countries
The world recession encouraged emerging countries to speed up the transition of their economic model on behalf of domestic consumption. The large emerging countries confirmed their resistance to the crisis, with a GDP growth which reached 2.4% (*) thanks mainly to the positive contributions of the countries of Asia and Africa.

Red will have been the dominant color of 2009. Red because the growth came from China, red because the world activity was declining for the first time since the end of the 2nd World War, and red still because the budget deficits exploded. The emerging economies were overall in a strong growth phase thanks to China and India, whereas the advanced countries experienced a very severe slowdown in their economic growth.

NATIONAL’S ECONOMY (*)
GDP
The effect of the world-wide crisis was felt at the level of the nation’s economy from the last quarter of 2008 and the impact was pronounced more in the first quarter of 2009 when the growth rate of the non-agricultural GDP reached only 0.6%. The attenuation of the effects of the world economic crisis, in connection with the positive repercussions of the stimulus programs at the international level and the anti-crisis measures taken within the framework of the Strategic Watch Committee at the national level, appeared through a progressive recovery of the nonagricultural economic activity from one quarter to another. This resulted into an economic growth of 4.9% for year 2009, versus 5.6% for 2008.
The favorable performance of the national economic activity, in spite of the context of global financial and economic crisis, results from the increase of the value added of the primary sector of 29% and that of the tertiary sector of 3.9%, which largely offset the 4.7% drop of the value added of the secondary industry.
Public finance
FY 2009 showed a budget deficit of 15.9 billion Moroccan Dirhams, i.e. the equivalent of 2.2% of the GDP after a surplus of 0.4% of the GDP in 2008.
This deficit is explained mainly by the drop of tax revenues, related to the combined effect of the drop of tax pressure, due to the reduction of the tax rates of the Income tax and the Corporate tax, and the contraction of the indirect taxes because of the context of the economic situation.
In parallel, expenditures of goods and services increased, corresponding to a rise in payroll charges. Finally, the capital expenditures of the Government’s budget exceeded the initial forecasts. In addition, the rate of indebtedness stood at 46.9% of GDP in 2009 compared to 47.2% in 2008.
In 2009, the Moroccan economy operated in a hard environment marked by a slowdown in the economic activity on the international scene due to the triggering of the global financial and economic crisis.
In spite of this context characterized by a drop in foreign demand, the Moroccan economic growth in 2009 was supported by the final domestic demand due to an excellent agricultural harvest, to the increase in public investment, to the maintenance of the unemployment rate under 10%, to the slow rise of prices, as well as to the continued progression of loans granted to the economy, not to mention the effort made by the public authorities to support the purchasing power, in particular through the reduction of the income tax and the increase in wages.

Foreign trade
In 2009, Morocco’s foreign trade recorded a drop in both exports (FOB) and imports (CIF) of goods (- 28.1% and -18,7%, respectively), which generated a trade deficit of 153.2 billion MAD compared to 170.3 billion MAD in 2008, a 10.4% drop compared to a 25.4% increase on the prior year.
This situation comes mainly from the attenuation by 25.1% of the deficit generated by the trade of energy products and the reduction of 85.6% of the deficit resulting from the trade of food products.
Investments
Taking into account the good impact strength of the Moroccan economy vis-a-vis the world economic crisis, the investment effort continues, as it is demonstrated by the following indicators:
◗ The appropriations granted to equipments increased by 29.1% compared to 2008.
◗ The Investment Commission, reporting to the Moroccan Agency for Investment Development (AMDI), treated in 2009 nearly 56 projects for an estimated global amount of 45 billion Moroccan Dirhams, a 20% increase compared to 2008.
◗ The capital expenditures of the Government’s budget increased by 22.8% compared to 2008, standing in 2009 at 46.4 billion Moroccan Dirhams.
Inflation
In 2009, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) posted a 1% increase compared to 2008, in spite of the inflationary pressures on food products having a direct impact on household consumption.
Unemployment
In 2009, the unemployment rate moved back by 0.5 point to stand in 2009 at its all-time low, that is to say 9.1%. This drop especially benefitted the urban environment with a drop of 0.9 point (moving from 14.7% to 13.8%), while rural unemployment was stabilized at 4%.

THE STOCK MARKET IN 2009
After significant declines recorded by most international financial
markets in 2008, and a very difficult beginning of the year, because
of the fear of investors from the fall and switching of the worldwide
economies into a severe depression, the year 2009 finishes on a
largely positive note, thanks to the effects of the implemented
stimulus packages and quick responsive measures taken by many
Governments, to save the financial sector.
The MSCI World; the World Stock Markets Index; posts a 31.5%
increase in 2009, whereas the MSCI Emerging Markets index jumps
by 74.5%.

After a year 2008 which showed a strong contraction of the world stock markets, with sharp declines of 43.5% for MSCI AW World Index and of -57.5% for MSCI EM, and thanks in particular to the positive effects of various rescue measures, year 2009 finishes on a positive note for all markets on average (+31,5% for the MSCI AC World Index) and even more positive for emerging markets (+74.5% for MSCI EM), in particular those of Asia and Latin America.

ACCOUNTING RULES AND METHODS
Accounting system
The Casablanca Stock Exchange’s financial statements relating to the Fiscal Year closed December 31, 2009 were prepared in accordance with the “International Financial Reporting Standards” (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. They include comparative information for 2008 reprocessed in accordance with the same standards.
No anticipated implementation of the standards authorized by the international accounting system was made by the Casablanca Stock Exchange.
Casablanca Stock Exchange has no obligation to present its accounts in the IFRS standards: it is a will from the management of the company to meet the requirements of globalization and to align itself on the international and national environment.
The international accounting rules include the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), the IAS (International Accounting Standards) and their interpretations SIC and IFRIC (Standard Interpretations Committee and International Financial Reporting Committee Interpretations).
Intangible assets
They exclusively include the acquired software (not generated in-house). The recognition of this software is carried out at historical cost minus cumulated depreciations.
The duration of usefulness of the software is estimated at 60 months.
The mode of amortization adopted by Casablanca Stock Exchange is the linear mode.
Tangible fixed assets
The tangible fixed assets are recognized at the historical cost, minus the cumulated depreciations and impairments. The historical cost includes the costs directly ascribable to acquisition. The later costs are included in the accounting net worth of the assets or are recognized as separate assets, according to the case, only when it is likely that the future economic profits related to the element go to the company and that the cost of the element can be valued in a reliable way. All the other costs of repair and maintenance are recognized in the earnings reports during the Fiscal Year when they are incurred. The residual values are considered as non significant.
The mode of amortization adopted by the Casablanca Stock Exchange is the linear mode.
The tangible fixed assets acquired by means of lease contracts are amortized over the duration of usefulness of the good.
Placements
The placements held by the Casablanca Stock Exchange are classified in the following categories: financial assets At Fair Value recognized in the income, loans and amounts receivable, and financial assets Available for Sale. The classification depends on the top management’s intent. The classification is given at the initial date of recognition and re-examined at each close.
Financial assets at Fair Value recognized in the income
This category breaks up into two subcategories: financial assets Held For Trading and those designated at Fair Value recognized in income on initial option. The placements are classified in this category when they are acquired mainly to be sold in the short run or when they are so designated by the top management.
Within the framework of the evaluation of these assets, the Casablanca Stock Exchange has based its work on their net assets values published at the closing date.
Financial assets Available For Sale
The financial assets Available For Sale are designated as such or are not classified in one of the other categories. They appear in the balance-sheet in the non current assets because the company does not intend to transfer them within the twelve months which follow the closing date.
The financial assets Available For Sale are valued at their Fair Value. Latent gains or depreciations resulting from variations of the fair value are recognized in the shareholders equity.
The Casablanca Stock Exchange has 5% of the authorized capital of Maroclear evaluated on a prorata basis in the net worth at the closing date.

IMPACT OF THE IFRS ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ON
THE MOROCCAN ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Synthesis of the shareholders equity
The shareholders equity as of December 31, 2009 increases by 54.5 million Moroccan Dirhams and amounts to 592.6 million Moroccan Dirhams under IFRS, versus 538.2 million Moroccan Dirhams according to the Moroccan accounting system.
This evolution induced by the I.F.R.S accounting system results mainly from:
◗ The valuation of the financial assets for 34.6 million Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The revaluation of the land and of the construction for 12.6 million Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The cancellation of the provisions not authorized in IFRS for 6.2 million Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The adjustment of the leased fixed assets for 2.8 million Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The change of the amortization period of the fixed assets for -1.8 million Moroccan
Dirhams.
Synthesis of the net income
The net income line in IFRS standards amounts to 51.6 million Moroccan Dirhams versus 41.7 million Moroccan Dirhams according to the Moroccan accounting system.
This evolution is due mainly to:
◗ The impact of the valorization of the financial assets for 14.3 million Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The impact of the reprocessing of leased fixed assets for 0.5 million Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The impact of the change of the amortization period of the fixed assets for -0,5 million
Moroccan Dirhams;
◗ The impact of the cancellation of the provisions which are not authorized under IFRS for -4.5
million Moroccan Dirhams.

These summary statements show an amount of shareholders equity and assimilated shareholders equity of MAD 546,194,474.96, including a net profit of MAD 41,692,352.74.
Top Management’s Responsibility The top management is responsible for the establishment and the fair presentation of these summary statements, in accordance with the accounting system which is admitted in Morocco. This responsibility includes the design, the installation and the follow-up of an internal control relating to the establishment and the presentation of the summary statements not including a significant anomaly, as well as the determination of accounting estimates which are reasonable given the circumstance.
Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these summary statements on the basis of our audit. We carried out our audit according to the standards of the trade in Morocco. These standards require us to abide by the rules of ethics, to plan and carry out the audit to get a reasonable insurance that the summary statements do not include a significant anomaly.
An audit implies the implementation of procedures in order to collect convincing elements concerning the amounts and the information provided in the summary statements. The choice of procedures concerns the judgment of the auditor, just as the evaluation of the risk that the summary statements might contain significant anomalies. When carrying out these evaluations of the risk, the auditor takes into account the internal control in force within the entity relating to the establishment and the presentation of the summary statements in order to define audit procedures which are suitable in the circumstance and not with the purpose of expressing an opinion as to the efficiency of this latter.
An audit also includes the assessment of the suitable character of the adopted accounting methods and the reasonable character of the accounting estimates made by the top management, as well as the appreciation of the overall presentation of the summary statements.
We estimate that the convincing elements collected are sufficient and suitable to motivate our opinion.
Opinion as to the summary statements We certify that the summary statements mentioned in the first paragraph above are true and fair and give, in all their significant aspects, a true image of the result of the operations of the past fiscal year as well as the financial standing and assets of the “Bourse de Casablanca S.A.” company as of December 31, 2009 in accordance with the accounting system admitted in Morocco.

This responsibility includes the design, establishment and follow-up of an internal control relating to the establishment and presentation of the summary statements not including a significant anomaly, whether those result from frauds or errors, as well as the determination of reasonable accounting estimates taking into consideration the circumstances.
The auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these summary statements on the basis of our audit. We carried out our audit according to the Standards of the Trade applicable in Morocco. These standards require us to comply with the rules of ethics, to plan and carry out the audit to obtain a reasonable insurance that the summary statements do not include a significant anomaly.
One audit implies the implementation of procedures in order to collect convincing elements concerning the amounts and information provided in the summary statements. The choice of the procedures concerns the judgment of the auditor, just as the evaluation of the risk that the financial statements might contain significant anomalies, whether those result from frauds or errors. When carrying out these evaluations of the risk, the auditor takes into account the internal control in force within the entity relating to the establishment and presentation of the financial statements in order to define audit procedures which are suitable in the circumstances, and not with the purpose of expressing an opinion as to the efficiency of this one. An audit also includes the appreciation of the suitable character of the adopted accounting methods and the reasonable character of the accounting estimates made by the Top Management, as well as the appreciation of the overall presentation of the summary statements.
We estimate that the convincing elements collected are sufficient and are suitable to motivate our opinion
Opinion as to the summary statements In our opinion, the summary statements mentioned in the first paragraph above give, in all their significant aspects, a true image of the financial situation of the Casablanca Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2009, as well as of the financial performance and cash flows for the Fiscal Year closed on that date, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
