In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Projects receipts and disbursements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the cash position as at December 31, 2017 in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting published by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), as well as in accordance with the requirements of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Basis for Audit Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report below. We are independent of the Project in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) and with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Kazakhstan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibility of the Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IPSAS Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting published by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and in accordance with the requirements of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to Toapmuiecyao c orpahm4emoii arrcteehhocibia "BDO Kazakhstan". apercpmpoance a cooraeictanm c 3aKoWaTeAbarBom Pecny6Aniu Kaxcman, atmierca ylacthhkom MmemAyapoAHoru o6beahhehm 8D0 International Limited, 6piranc+Coro o6umecrea c otae1ctaehnoctbo, DrpaHH4emHHoi rapawwei; era yqactoas, k iamerca 4acbio MenuyHlapoAHA celt "esabmcmwx NomnaHHA BDO.

4 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT (continued) enable preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Projects ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Project or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternatives but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Project financial reporting process. Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errors and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the overall presentation of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: * identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; * obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Projects internal control; * evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, and related disclosures made by management; * evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statement, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

5 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT (continued) We communicate with those responsible for managing the Project regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
