6. RETROACTIVE FINANCING
The amount presented in the financial statements represents retroactive financing to the
Government of Moldova for the compensations distributed to the growers of plums and
apples after October 01, 2014. The amount of these expenditures accounted cumulatively for
MDL 42,258,409 which if converted in US Dollar constitutes 2,863,366. The exchange rate
applied for conversion is the official rate established by the National Bank of Moldova as of
November 01, 2014.
7. Subsequent events note
In respect of the beneficiary Strugurele Auriu, the actual expenditures incurred in 2014 in the
amount of USD 334,305 (disbursement of matching investment grant to the beneficiary) were
considered eligible as per project's legal documents. However, during the implementation of
the subproject, the beneficiary has not fulfilled the conditions of contract with AIPA (has not
ensured the co-financing of at least 50% of the sub-project cost and constantly failed to do
this for almost 2 years already), hence, the amount of this matching investment grant is
considered as non-eligible as per Project's legal covenants, and AIPA as a fiduciary agencyshould request the beneficiary to reimburse in full.
