Junior Mahon Mrs. Michelle Steele Mr. Mark Wilson Mrs. Sonia Roden Mrs. Sharon Gilchrist Chairman Deputy Chairman Director Director Director Director Director Director Director Director/CEO Corporate Secretary 8 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT In 2014, a key area of focus for the Board of Directors was the development and commencement of a strategy for organisational reform which it undertook by engaging in intensive specialist audits and evaluation of its operations, its mandate, and its human capital.
Indeed, 2014 was a challenging year for the GIDC.

It was a year marked by strategic reform initiatives focused on addressing its human capital development capabilities; reviewing the elements required for a workplace to function effectively; undertaking initiatives aimed at raising Grenada’s competitiveness as a preferred investment destination; and setting up a strategic framework to create an efficient business friendly environment.
Carrying forward from 2013, GIDC re-examined and reassessed its goals, objectives, strategies and key performance indicators that culminated with a Strategic Planning Session held in the second quarter of the year, in which the Board, Senior Management, Ministers of Government, and senior ranking Ministry Officials all participated alongside key partners and other stakeholders, critical to its operations.
Arising out of that important strategic planning session were several agreed strategic goals, which include:  Manage the Agency like a business to achieve strategic intent  Advocate changes in public policy to create an enabling environment  Stimulate economic activity by facilitating expansion and diversification of investments  Monitor and evaluate performance to remain relevant  Develop systemic approach to human resource management and development This Strategic Planning Process allowed GIDC to think critically about its context, by reviewing its institutional structure and effectiveness in line with global best practice for attracting economic investments and opportunities in small economies like Grenada.
At the request of Government, and with funding provided by the U.K. (DFID), the World Bank Group conducted an institutional assessment of GIDC during the third quarter of the year.

By December 2014, the Board of Directors agreed in principle with the initial strategic recommendations that are at the core of strategic reform for GIDC beginning 2015.

At the conclusion of the exercise, it is clear that GIDC is more than an Investment Promotion Agency; it is an Economic Development Corporation.
It has a broader mandate which requires amongst other things, the creation of strategic business units to work in a cross functional and matrixed manner.

This now forms the quintessence of the future strategic reform of GIDC targeted for completion in 2015, the thirtieth year of its existence.

Despite the financial constraints of 2014, we have continued to decrease our dependency on Government funds by a second voluntary reduction in subvention of ECD200K, as was also done 9 in 2013.
This is in keeping with our strategic goal to manage the Corporation like a business, and share in the national sacrifice, a necessary requisite under the structural adjustment programme.
I am mindful that notwithstanding this year of challenge, reform, evaluation and assessment of our purpose, mission, and objective at every level of the organisation, the achievements recorded for GIDC during 2014 directly relate to the critical roles played in investment generation, investment facilitation, business support services and the management of its Industrial Estates.
Some of these achievements include, but are not limited to:  the facilitation of twenty two (22) foreign investment applications with a proposed investment total of approximately EC$273.6 million;  employment creation estimated at approximately two hundred and five (205) jobs;  five (5) projects by foreign investors commenced operations in 2014 with a total actual investment upon commencement of operations of EC$34.8 million and the creation of three hundred and seventy (370) new jobs;  nine (9) domestic projects commenced operations with an actual investment of EC$21,352,000, creating a total of 115 jobs;  assistance to nineteen (19) small businesses to start up and upgrade their operations;  5% increase in occupancy within the industrial estates resulting in a 15% increase in employment being created within same.
I take this opportunity on behalf of the Board of Directors, Management and Staff to assure our clients and customers that we will continue to improve our services and processes to attract increased foreign and local investment; implement a programme for delivery of investor focused facilitation and aftercare service; expand opportunities for our small and medium enterprise (SME) businesses; diversify and augment revenue streams through a strategic development plan for our industrial park facilities; and, maximise our efforts and strategies to promoting an improved enabling environment for investment.
As GIDC approaches its 30th Anniversary on March 1st 2015, it does so with great optimism and confidence, that with an improved organisational structure and capacity through strategic reforms and institutional strengthening, we can effectively contribute to the economic development and growth of Grenada.
May I express my appreciation to the Honourable Minister of Finance and the Ministry of Finance for their continuing support of GIDC initiatives, the Board of Directors for their unwavering commitment to this pursuit of excellence through strategic reform, and to the hardworking management and staff for their dedication and commitment throughout 2014.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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 financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
33 Report of the Auditors to the Board of Directors Grenada Industrial Development Corporation Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the corporation as at 31 December 2014 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The additional information produced on pages 14 to 19 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and in compliance with the CDB loan agreements.

This data is not a required part of the basic financial statements.

Such information has been subjected to the procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

INCORPORATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The Corporation was incorporated by Act of Parliament No.

2 of 1985 for the purposes of stimulating, facilitating and undertaking the establishment and development of industries in Grenada.

At the statement of financial position date, the Corporation employed 23 persons on a permanent basis and 2 temporary workers (2013: 26 persons).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Accounting: These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in accordance with the historical cost convention, with the modification stated in the note to property, plant and equipment.

(b) Foreign Currencies: The Eastern Caribbean Dollar is the functional currency of measurement and presentation of the Corporation’s financial statements.
Foreign currency transactions during the year have been recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary amounts receivable or payable at the year-end in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at that date.

Profits or losses on translation of monetary items are reflected in comprehensive income.
Monetary items are units of currency held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in a fixed or determinable number of units of currency.

Non-monetary items carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Other non-monetary items which are carried at fair value are reported at the exchange rate that existed when the fair values were determined.
When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income.

Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognized in comprehensive income.
Other comprehensive income comprises items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but rather in equity, such as changes in appraisal surplus, remeasurements on defined employee benefit plans, etc.

(c) Revenue Recognition: The Corporation is engaged in the service industry.
In general, revenue is recognised when the outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably and taking into consideration the probability of economic benefits flowing to the Corporation, the stage of completion of the transaction at the statement of financial position date and the costs incurred on and to complete the transaction.

Grants receivable are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Corporation will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Such grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.

Applying this principle, grants related to income are recognised as income in the same period as the related expenses.

Grants related to assets are accounted for as deferred income on the statement of financial position and recognised as income over the useful lives of the assets involved.
Interest income is recognised on a time basis using the effective interest rate method.

38 GRENADA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements - December 31, 2014 2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued (d) Estimates: Preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e) Financial Instruments: A financial instrument is defined as any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

A financial asset is a contractual right to receive cash in the future, while a financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash in the future.
Financial instruments carried on the statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables and borrowings - short and long term.

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised when the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and in the case of a financial asset when control over the asset is transferred to the Corporation.
All financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position or in the notes to the financial statements.

Upon initial recognition, they are measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given or received to acquire the financial asset or liability.

Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of all financial assets and liabilities.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets are remeasured to fair value, except for the following: i() ii() iii() loans and receivables originated by the Corporation and not held for trading.

other fixed maturity investments, such as debt securities and mandatorily redeemable preferred shares that the Corporation intends and is able to hold to maturity; and financial assets whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, such as some equity instruments (shares) with no quoted market price.
At the statement of financial position date, the carrying amounts of financial assets required to be remeasured are approximately equal to their fair value, which is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

Other financial assets are carried at amortised cost, less allowance for impairment in value.
Financial liabilities, after acquisition, are measured at original recorded amount less principal repayments and amortisation.

For financial assets and liabilities remeasured to fair value, differences arising on remeasurement are recognised in comprehensive income for the period.

(f) Other significant accounting policies adopted are disclosed in the appropriate notes below.

Where changes have been made in presentation, comparative figures have been restated.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Continued (i) The Corporation’s lands and buildings at Frequente, Seamoon and St. Patrick were valued by the qualified engineering firm of Latitudes Consult in October 2014.

This valuation resulted in an appraisal surplus of $35,862,170 which is included in these financial statements.
A previous valuation was conducted in May 2004 by the qualified engineering firm of Joseph John and Associates Limited.

This valuation covered only the properties at Frequente and Seamoon and the values did not vary much from the previous valuation done in May 2002.

Accordingly, no appraisal adjustments were made for the 2004 valuation.
(ii) Had property, plant & equipment been carried at historical cost, the combined net carrying value of land and buildings at the statement of financial position date would have been $31,137,064.

However, in August 2005, Cabinet further approved the use of the building rent free by the T.A.

Marryshow Community College for educational purposes.

Some property, plant & equipment are stated at historical cost and others at valuation.

Depreciation is provided on the straight line basis, at rates sufficient to write off the cost or valuation of the assets over the period of their estimated useful lives.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations, whilst the cost of improvements are capitalised.

The cost of property, plant and equipment sold, retired or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss reflected in comprehensive income.
