INTRODUCTION This manual is designed to be used by the employees of LCC TRANS SENDING LIMITED, a company that belongs to the Small World Group, as a guide to the AML responsibilities of both the company and the staff.

In particular, it contains the information which all members of staff need to be aware of in order to prevent the business being used to launder the proceeds of crime or terrorist financing. All members of staff are at risk of committing a criminal offence if they assist in a criminal transaction by missing the warning signs.

At the heart of this document is the risk based approach (see below). The risk-based approach means that we focus our resources on the areas of greatest risk.

The possibility of being used to assist with money laundering and terrorist financing poses many risks for our company including:

1. criminal and disciplinary sanctions 2. civil action against the firm as a whole and individual directors 3. damage to reputation leading to a loss of business

These risks must be identified, assessed and mitigated. If we know our customers well and understand their instructions thoroughly, we will be better placed to assess risks and spot suspicious activities. We will always start from the premise that most of our customers are not launderers or terrorist financers but we must assess the risk level particular to our firm and implement reasonable and considered controls to minimise those risks.

No matter how thorough our risk assessment or how appropriate our controls, some criminals may still succeed in exploiting us for criminal purposes. But an effective, risk-based approach and documented, risk-based judgments on individual customers will enable us to justify our position on managing the risk to law enforcement, courts, HMRC and FSA.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS Under the MLR 2007 we are required to establish appropriate risk-sensitive policies and procedures in order to prevent activities related to money laundering and terrorist financing including those policies and procedures, which provide for:

Identification and scrutiny of complex or unusually large transactions, unusual patterns of transactions with no apparent economic or lawful purpose and other activities regarded by the regulated person as likely to be of the nature of money laundering or terrorist financing;

Prevention of use of products favouring anonymity;

Determination of whether a client is a PEP, using the Bridger Insight Platform

which screens all customers and beneficiaries names against PEPs databases worldwide;
Customer due diligence i.e. procedures designed to acquire knowledge about our customers and to verify their identity, as well as monitor business relationships and transactions before executing the remittances;

Page 11 of 85

In addition, we are required to take measures to make employees aware of the law relating to money laundering and terrorist finance, and to train those employees in how to recognise and deal with transactions which may be related to money laundering or terrorist financing.

THE RISK BASED APPROACH

A risk based approach allows us to target resources and effort where the risk is greatest and, conversely, reduce requirements where the risk is low.

We must establish adequate and appropriate policies and procedures relating to risk assessment and management in order to prevent operations related to money laundering or terrorist financing. We have done this by preparing a risk matrix to be adopted by all staff.

We must :

(a) determine the extent of customer due diligence measures (section 5) on a risksensitive basis depending on the type of client, business relationship, or services to be provided;

(b) be able to demonstrate to HMRC and FSA that the extent of customer due diligence measures is appropriate in view of the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing. Our CDD measures are set out in this manual.

We are required to take a risk-based approach and have adequate measures to verify the identity of beneficial owners so that we are satisfied that we know who the beneficial owner of our customer is and what the control structure of a corporate client is. Every personal customer is asked about any beneficial owners on compliance form E. Corporate customers undergo thorough beneficial ownership assessment in line with our obligations under the MLR 2007.

We are required to scrutinise transactions and other activities throughout the course of any business relationship to ensure consistency with our knowledge of our customers, their business and risk profile. The MLRO will conduct ongoing monitoring of all high risk accounts including customers who regularly transfer more
Page 12 of 85

than 900 per month. In addition to this the MLRO will undertake random monthly checks upon customer accounts and provide a report to the compliance director on her findings.

We must also keep up to date the information collected in applying CDD measures. All ID will be retaken on the expiry of any documents used to verify customers. Customer accounts will be placed on hold until the relevant CDD checks have been undertaken or documents provided.

We must apply CDD measures at appropriate times to existing clients on a risksensitive basis. The MLRO will assess the existing CDD database to identify those customers that may require further/updated CDD checks.

We must apply EDD where the customer is another PI or SPI and ongoing and monitoring transactions are applied. The MLRO will visit the MSB to ensure that they are carrying out CDD and checking the relevant records for specific transactions.

In compliance with the Data Protection Act, when the customer is another MSB we do not request full information from their customer, just the full name of the

customer, amount, recipient name and country and the unique reference number of each transaction. However the PI or SPI must be prepared to disclose any information if required by us. In addition to this, for transactions more than 10.000.00, the proof of source of funds from the MSBs customer is required. Also we conduct due diligences on the MSB before starting a relationship with them to certify that the MSB carries out appropriate Customer Due Diligence. Where the customer is a money transmission business we check if they are registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and HMRC. If they are not registered we will not accept the customer.

We must apply EDD on third party payments. LCC only accepts Third Party Payments for Countries that are not considered high risk jurisdictions by FATF and OFAC and when the beneficial owner is identified.

We apply EDD on the overseas recipient requesting the proof of payment such as invoices and checking if they are genuine.

Page 13 of 85

When the customer is a corporate customer, we apply EDD before starting the relationship with the customer. We will check the companys and Directors names on sanctioned lists, Safe Credit website, directors disqualified list, the purpose to send the transaction, the annual turnover, the list of customers beneficiaries and the relationship with the them, beneficiaries names on FATF/OFAC lists and other sanctioned lists. We will also define limits of amounts a corporate customer can send in a given period.

When an overseas customer wants to carry out a transfer of funds to a beneficiary in the UK, we treat him as a UK customer and must be identified by our subsidiaries or correspondents while the beneficiary will be identified in the destination country. The very same procedures of identification from LCC will apply.

We provide payment services to agents subject to prior acceptance by us. To comply with FSA requirement, we must obtain from the agent: name and address of the agent, description of AML Internal controls mechanism (must meet the LCC procedure), identification of directors and responsible persons, and fit and proper test assessment. New agents will only start operating after the authorisation from FSA is granted.

We have established internal procedures for investigating any complaint that may be made against us in relation to any transaction. In accordance with our complaints procedure, any complaint a customer may make relating to any transaction must be made or confirmed to us in writing to Head of Client Services at LCC Trans-Sending Ltd,168-170 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3TQ or by electronic message to customerservice.uk@smallworldfs.com. We will respond to the customer promptly. If the customer is still dissatisfied following our response to any complaint, he has a right to refer the complaint concerning the transaction to the Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR.

In compliance with the communication dated 12 October 2009 from HM Treasury on the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 (CTA), the company will not accept any business relationship with (a) Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and (b) Bank Mellat. The Company has checked all existing
Page 14 of 85

transactions to ensure no trading has been done with these concerns. We have additionally blocked Bank Mellat and all their branches regardless the location. Our business development department is aware of these measures. In compliance with the communication daed 11 November 2011 from HM Treasury, the company will not accept any business relationship and transactions with all Iranian Banks, including their branches and subsidiaries and the central bank of Iran.

The Law

Under the 2007 MLR, the company is obliged to provide all members of staff training on the law relating to money laundering/counter terrorist financing. In line with that obligation we set out below a summary of the legislation and the main issues that you need to be aware of. The applicable legislation is set out in full. Please ensure that you read the legislation so that you are aware of the potential criminal offences and the penalties. Where appropriate, HMRC guidance on the legislation is included to avoid confusion. Staff will be tested on their knowledge of the law as we are obliged to ensure that you are aware of it.

Money laundering is generally defined as the process by which the proceeds of crime, and the true ownership of those proceeds, are changed so that the proceeds appear to come from a legitimate source.

Money laundering can arise from small profits and savings from relatively minor crimes, such as regulatory breaches, minor tax evasion or benefit fraud. A deliberate attempt to obscure the ownership of illegitimate funds is not necessary.

There are three acknowledged phases to money laundering: placement, layering and integration.

Placement

Cash generated from crime is placed in the financial system. This is the point when proceeds of crime are most apparent and at risk of detection.

Layering

Once proceeds of crime are in the financial system, layering obscures their origins by passing the money through complex transactions. These often involve different entities like companies and trusts and can take place in multiple jurisdictions.

Integration

Once the origin of the funds has been obscured, the criminal is able to make the funds reappear as legitimate funds or assets.

Page 26 of 85

Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA)

POCA, as amended, establishes a number of money laundering offences including:

1. principal money laundering offences; 2. offences of failing to report suspected money laundering; 3. offences of tipping off about a money laundering disclosure; 4. tipping off about a money laundering investigation; and 5. prejudicing money laundering investigations.

POCA applies to all members of LCC TRANS SENDING LTD staff as our business is in the regulated sector and so all the offences outlined above are applicable to you.

Sections 327 to 329: concealing, arranging, acquiring

These offences apply to all staff. Section 327 it is an offence to conceal, disguise, convert, transfer or remove (from the UK) criminal property

Section 328 it is an offence to become concerned in an arrangement which a person knows or suspects facilitates the acquisition, retention, use or control of criminal property

Section 329 it is an offence to acquire, use or have possession of criminal property

These are the main money laundering offences and where we refer to Money Laundering in this section, what is mean is the attempt, conspiracy to or commission of these offences.

"Criminal property" is property which:

is or represents a person's benefit from criminal conduct; and the alleged offender knows or suspects constitutes or represents such a benefit .

Page 27 of 85

"Criminal conduct" is conducting which:

is an offence in any part of the UK; or is an offence in the jurisdiction where the conduct took place or where the conduct took place outside the jurisdiction, but would have if it occurred in the UK, attracted a maximum penalty of over 12 months imprisonment

These offences apply to the proceeds of all crimes and to any type of criminal conduct, regardless of amount. Penalty

These offences are punishable upon conviction by a maximum of 14 years imprisonment. The defences

You did not know or suspect that the money or property in question was criminal property. Deliberately shutting your eyes to an obviously suspect situation, will not constitute a defence

You made an authorised disclosure i.e.:

a disclosure to a constable (the police), customs officer or a nominated officer (i.e. using the firms internal reporting procedure) ; and

made in the form and manner prescribed in the regulations;

The companys nominated officer is our Money Laundering Reporting Officer, Fatima Maria Oliveira Fernandes or, in her absence, her deputy, Seanna Manita. Thus members of staff will have a defence by making a disclosure in accordance with the companys internal reporting procedures which are set out below, the effect of which is to report to our MLRO.

Page 28 of 85

Authorised disclosures can be made either before or after a "prohibited act" occurs, i.e. before the completion of any transaction which amounts to a money laundering offence. External disclosures, by the MLRO, are made to the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA).

Pre transaction disclosures. Where a suspicion has arisen before a "prohibited act" occurs, it will be necessary to receive the appropriate consent before completing any transaction which would amount to a prohibited act. If the prohibited act takes place without this consent, than the disclosure defence will not apply. Appropriate consent must be given by the person who received the authorised disclosure, in this case the MLRO. However, the MLRO cannot give consent until a report has been made to the SOCA and SOCA has given actual or presumed consent (see below). It is an offence for the MLRO to give consent when they should not have done. Time limits for disclosure -- section 335 lays down time limits relating to the delay between the authorised disclosure being made and the appropriate consent being given or presumed.

If the person making the disclosure either receives appropriate consent or hears nothing within seven working days, the transaction can proceed and the disclosure defence will be available. The seven day period is known as the "notice period";

If consent is refused within the notice period the transaction cannot safely proceed unless consent has been given within the "moratorium period" or the "moratorium period" has expired. The moratorium period starts when the appropriate consent is refused and lasts 31 days

Post transaction disclosure is a disclosure which is made after the "prohibited act has occurred. In this case appropriate consent will not be required but the disclosure defence will only apply if a person had a reasonable excuse not to report beforehand. Adequate consideration defence -- there is a defence to section 329, that a person has been paid a proper amount for providing goods and services. However this defence does not apply if the person knew or suspected that the goods or services

Page 29 of 85

they were providing, and being paid for, might help another to carry out criminal conduct.

Sections 330 failure to disclose: regulated sector

The s330 offence in the Act has been amended by SOCA in a number of key respects:

The offence applies when a person: knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in money laundering. can identify the money launderer or the whereabouts of the laundered property or that he believes that the information he has may assist in identifying the other person or the whereabouts of any of the laundered property

The disclosure must be made as soon as is practicable and must have been made in the course of business. The disclosure must be made to the MLRO or to SOCA.

This offence introduces an objective test for knowledge or suspicion. This means that a person may be guilty of this offence if there were reasonable grounds for knowledge or suspicion i.e. they should have known or suspected. Penalty - punishable on conviction by a maximum of five years imprisonment.

Defences to failure to disclose: regulated sector

Employees in the regulated sector who have not received training about money laundering from their employer may have a defence. However this defence is only available if the employee did not have actual knowledge or suspicion. circumstances there would be ramifications for the employer. In these

It could also be a defence if the person has a "reasonable excuse" for not disclosing the information.

Page 30 of 85

Section 333A (1) and (3) tipping off

S333A(1) disclosing a suspicious activity report (SAR). It is an offence for a person to make a disclosure which is likely to prejudice an investigation, when the person knows or suspects that an authorised disclosure has been made.

S333A(3) disclosing an investigation. It is an offence to disclose that an investigation into a money laundering offence is being contemplated or carried out if that disclosure is likely to prejudice that investigation. The key point is that you can commit this offence, even where you are unaware that a SAR was submitted.

The disclosure in this context means any form of communication to anyone, not just our own customer.

It is a defence if the person did not know or suspect that the disclosure was likely to prejudice an investigation. S333B Disclosures within an undertaking or group etc It is not an offence if an employee of a firm discloses that a SAR has been made if it is to an employee of the same business.

Any concerns with regard to tipping off should be referred to the MLRO.

Terrorism Act 2000 (TA)

The TA, as amended, establishes several offences about engaging in or facilitating terrorism, as well as raising or possessing funds for terrorist purposes. It establishes a list of organisations the Government believes are involved in terrorism.

The Terrorism Act applies to all persons. There is a failure to disclose offence and tipping off offences for those operating within the regulated sector.

Page 31 of 85

Section 18 money laundering

It is an offence to enter into or become concerned in an arrangement facilitating the retention or control of terrorist property by, or on behalf of, another person including, but not limited to the following ways: By concealment By removal from the jurisdiction By transfer to nominees

It is a defence if you did not know, and had no reasonable cause to suspect, that the arrangement related to terrorist property.

Section 21A- tipping off

It is a criminal offence for those in the regulated sector who fail to make a disclosure to either a constable or the firm's nominated officer where there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that another person has committed an offence.

Section 21D (1) and (3) tipping off offences

Section 21D (1) disclosing a suspicious activity report (SAR). It is an offence to disclose to a third person that a SAR has been made by any person to the police, HM Revenue and Customs, SOCA or a nominated officer, if that disclosure might prejudice any investigation that might be carried out as a result of the SAR. Section 21D (3) disclosing an investigation. It is an offence to disclose that an investigation into allegations relating to terrorist property offences is being contemplated or carried out if that disclosure is likely to prejudice that investigation. Section 21E Disclosures within an undertaking or group etc It is not an offence if an employee of a firm discloses that a SAR has been made if it is to an employee of the same business.

Any concerns with regard to tipping off should be referred to the MLRO

European Union Wire Transfer Regulations 1781/2006

This regulation applies to our business as we transfer money on behalf of clients. Its basic aim is to ensure that complete information on the person sending money (payer) is sent with the transfer to the beneficiary (payee). It is to enable law enforcement to detect and trace the assets of criminals or terrorists. We must also identify and verify customers who transfer in excess of 900, 00. For payments within the EU we need only send a name and account number.

Payment Service Regulations 2009

The regime originates from a European Community law The Payment Services Directive (PSD). The aim of the PSD is to foster a single market in retail payment services across the European Economic Area by removing barriers to entry and ensuring fair market access to enhance competition in payment services; and establishing the same set of rules across the EEA on information requirements and other rights and obligations that will be applicable to many payment services transactions in the EEA. UK BRIBERY 2010

The Bribery Act 2010 came into force on 1 July 2011. it amends and reforms the UK criminal law and provide a modern legal framework to combat bribery in the UK and internationally. The Bribery Act creates the following offences: 1) Active bribery: promising or giving a financial or other advantage 2) Passive bribery: agreeing to receive or accepting a financial or other advantage 3) Bribery of foreign public officials 4) The failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery by an associated person

Under the current law imprisonment for up to seven years with unlimited fine will increase under the Bribery Act to a maximum of 10 years imprisonment.

Page 33 of 85

SW complying with the new regulation produced a Small World Group Anti-Bribery Policy: covering the giving and acceptance of bribes and distributed to all directors, employees and agents.

HM Treasury AFU

HM Treasury maintains a list of sanctioned individuals and countries with whom any financial dealing is restricted. It is a criminal offence to make payments or allow payments to be made to these targets. Sanctions are incorporated into UK law by EC Regulations or by statutory instruments.

In general terms, any person to whom the relevant Statutory Instrument applies who, except under the authority of a licence granted by HM Treasury under the relevant Statutory Instrument, makes any funds, economic resources or, in some circumstances, financial (or related) services available directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of persons listed under the relevant Statutory Instrument or EC Regulation is guilty of an offence.

The MLRO undertakes regular client screening against the relevant databases including whenever an update is issued by the AFU. As noted above any client is automatically screened using the Bridger Insight platform. Lists included in the Bridger Insight screening are:

Bank of England Consolidated List UK HM Treasury List UK FSA Bureau of Industry and Security List Consolidated List - Australia Consolidated List - Canada DTC Debarred Parties European Union Consolidated List FBI Hijack Suspects FBI Most Wanted FBI Most Wanted Terrorists FBI Seeking Information FBI Top Ten Most Wanted Hong Kong Monetary Authority List Interpol Most Wanted Monetary Authority of Singapore List Nonproliferation Sanctions, U.S. Department of State, ISN OFAC Non-SDN Entity List OFAC Sanctions OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals & Blocked Persons

In accordance with the MLR 2007, LCC Trans-Sending Ltd is subscribed to HM Treasurys email alert system at www.hm treasury.gov.uk/fin_crime_mailinglist.htm. All new alerts and updated received from HM Treasury are reported in our AML Monthly Report.

All customers and beneficiaries names are checked against international lists of sanctioned targets. The system is able to make this check against more than 25 international sanction lists using the Bridger Insight platform.

If a similar matching result is found, we do the following: Apply EDD and add customer to our internal watch list in order to carry out ongoing monitoring. If an exact matching result is found, we do the following: Make a disclosure to the relevant authority (Asset Freezing Unit or SOCA) and block the customer in our operational system until consent is given to proceed or refuse. In addition, we may cease the business

relationship with the customer allowing 30 days notice to comply with out Terms & Conditions.

The Money Laundering Regulations 2007

The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 repeal and replace the Money Laundering Regulations 2003. They set requirements for the anti-money laundering regime within our business and outline the scope of customer due diligence.

The regulations aim to limit the use of MSB for money laundering by requiring businesses to know their clients and monitor the use of their services by clients.

Regulation 3 (1) of the 2007 MLR provides:

3 (1)

Every person who carries on relevant business in the United Kingdom must --

(a)

Comply with the requirements of regulations 4 (identification procedures), 6 (record-keeping procedures) and 7 (internal reporting procedures);

(b)

Establish

such

other

procedures

of

internal

control

and

communications as may be appropriate for the purposes of forestalling and preventing money laundering; and

(c)

Take appropriate measures so that employees are --

(i) Made aware of the provisions of these Regulations and of section 340 (11) of POCA; and

(ii) Given training in how to recognise and deal with transactions which may be related to money laundering.

In respect of 3(1)(b) above, the overall responsibility for implementing internal control procedures, including compiling this section of the office manual is with the Compliance Director Nicholas Day, who is assisted by the Training Manager and MLRO Fatima Maria Oliveira Fernandes.

Page 36 of 85

In respect of 3(1)(c) above, training is provided to all new employees, and to all relevant staff when there is a change in the legislation. All employees will have updated training in any event every year.

HMRC MLR 8

HMRC is the supervisory authority for all MSBs. They produce guidance for the industry which should be followed in order for the business to be fully protected from any regulatory action. MLR8 is the approved document all MSB should consider when formulating their AML policies. This manual has been prepared in accordance with HMRC, FSA and JMLSG Guidance.

CDD

This section sets out the standard identification requirements for our customers who are private individuals. This is likely to be sufficient for most situations. If, however, the customer or transaction is assessed as presenting a higher money laundering or terrorist financing risk, in line with our identified risk matrix, then we require additional identity information to be provided and increase the level or verification accordingly.

Where the result of the standard verification check gives rise to concern or uncertainty over identity, the number of matches that will be required to be reasonably satisfied as to the individuals identity will increase. Any concerns must be notified to the MLRO.

Staff may also need to follow this guidance when identifying, and verifying the identity of beneficial owners and any other relevant individuals associated with the relationship or the transaction. Any issues relating to beneficial owners should be raised with the MLRO or director of compliance.

All documentary evidence must be dated within the past 3 months and the date of expiry noted on the system. Staff will be prompted by the system when any ID is due to expire and will need to request further material from customers before the transaction may continue or account operate.

Page 37 of 85

For the purposes of Regulation EC 1781/2006 on information on the payer accompanying transfers of funds (commonly known as the Payments Regulation or the Wire Transfer Regulations), for amounts of between 1,000 euro (approximately 900), and 15,000 euro (approximately 12.500), evidence of address need not necessarily be obtained. However it is this companys policy to obtain and verify evidence of the customers address. We allocate each customer with an account number. This number will be sent with the customers name to comply with the regulation.

In terms of beneficial ownership, we will ask every customer whether they are acting in their own capacity or on behalf of another person. If they are acting for another person then we will require details of such.

A firearms/shotgun certificate; or

End of year tax deduction certificates.

A solicitors letter confirming recent house purchase or land previous address).

When accepting evidence of identity from a customer, it is important that we make sufficient checks on the evidence provided to satisfy us of the customers identity, and that we keep a record of the checks made.

Checks on photo ID may include:

Visual likeness against the customer

Does the date of birth on the evidence match the apparent age of the customer?

Is the ID valid?

Page 40 of 85

Is the spelling of names the same as other documents provided by the customer?

Checks on secondary evidence of ID may include:

Do the addresses match the address given on the photo ID?

Does the name of the customer match with the name on the photo ID?

Electronic verification

As a secondary proof of Identification, We also screen customers on electronic verification for those that we can not have enough proof of identification in hard paper Electronic verification must be done using our software provider Safe Credit.

Electronic verification should meet a standard level of confirmation before it can be relied upon. In circumstances that do not give rise to suspicion or significant risk of impersonation fraud, the standard level of confirmation is:

One match on an individuals full name and current address, and

A second match on the full name and either his current address or his date of birth.

Where the customer is not physically present for identification purposes we must obtain further evidence of identity in line with our stated policy. This means that we will either ask for further forms of identity or perform further checks to verify the information supplied.

Page 41 of 85

The system is also able to detect linked (aggregate) transactions which are identified by:

Similar/same names/surnames Matching ID number Similar/same telephone number / address

Customers who cannot provide the standard evidence

Some of our customers may not be able to produce identification information to meet the standard requirement, e.g. migrant workers, refugees and asylum seekers, dependent spouses/partners or minors. In these cases we will need an approach that compensates for the difficulties that such customers may face in providing the standard evidence of identity.

We must record why the standard requirements cannot reasonably be applied.

The following table provides examples of documents that provide evidence of identity for some types of financially excluded customers. The list is not exhaustive. Any problems should be referred to the MLRO.

Customer

Documents(s)

Economic Migrants

National Passport, or National Identity Card (nationals of EEA)

Refugees (Those that are not on benefit) IND travel document (i.e. Blue Convention Travel doc, or Red Stateless Persons doc, or Brown Certificate of identity doc) Immigration Status Document with Residence Permit, or

Page 42 of 85

Where we decide that a customer cannot reasonably meet the standard identification requirement, and the provisions in the table above cannot be met, we may accept as identification evidence a letter or statement from an appropriate person who knows the individual, that indicates that the person is who he says he is.

Some categories of financially excluded customers may represent a higher risk of money laundering. We will consider enhanced monitoring of transactions conducted by anyone assessed as such.

Non face to face customers

Non face-to-face customers present an inherent risk of impersonation fraud which we must take account of in framing our internal policies and procedures. The MLR 2007 requires that we apply enhanced due diligence measures, on a risk-sensitive basis, when we dont physically meet our customers.

Therefore, we must apply additional verification checks to mitigate the risk of impersonation fraud. These checks may include:

Requiring additional documents, data or information to verify the customers identity

Applying supplementary measures to verify the documents supplied

Requiring the first transaction to be carried out through an account in the customers name with a UK or EU regulated bank or one from a comparable jurisdiction.

Telephone contact with the customer at a home or business number which has already been verified, using it to verify additional aspects of personal identity information provided during the application process.

Communicating with the customer at an address which has already been verified, for example by letter.

Page 43 of 85

Photocopied identity documents can be accepted as evidence of ID provided that each copy document has an original certification by an appropriate person to confirm that the person is who they claim to be.

An appropriate person is an independent professional person who is not already a friend or relative of the applicant. For example:

Family GP

Accountants

Civil Servant

Teacher

Solicitor

Notary

Post Office Branch employee

Employer

In addition to providing a written certification on the copy document to confirm the identification of the applicant, the certifying individual should also provide their business contact details. Customers other than private individuals (such as companies)

General Obligations

Certain information about the entity should be obtained as a standard requirement. We will then assess the risk of money laundering or terrorist financing, based on the

Page 44 of 85

combination of factors outlined in our risk matrix. We will then decide the extent to which the identity of the entity should be verified, using reliable, independent source documents, data or information. We will require information in respect of some of the individuals behind or connected to the customer for the purpose of being satisfied that we know who the beneficial owners of the entity are.

As part of the standard evidence, we must know the names of all individual beneficial owners who own or control more than 25% of the customer, even where these interests are held indirectly.

Information must be obtained on the nature and purpose of the business relationship and anticipated size and volume of transactions. We do this by asking our clients to complete our Basic Information Report. See attached B

Corporate customers We will obtain the following as standard in relation to corporate customers:

Full Name

Registered Number

We will also verify the identity of the corporate entity from:

Either a search of the relevant company registry

Or confirmation of the companys listing on a regulated market (see the FSA handbook glossary for a definition of regulated market)

Or a copy of the companys certificate of incorporation

This standard evidence is likely to be sufficient to verify the identity of most corporate customers. If, however, any of the circumstances outlined in our risk matrix exist then

Page 45 of 85

require additional information to be provided in order to be satisfied as to the customers identity, including, where appropriate, the nature and purpose of the customers business activities and the source of funds.

In general the structure, ownership, purposes and activities of many private companies will be clear and understandable.

The standard evidence above on corporate customers should be obtained and verified, plus, additionally, the following information should be obtained and verified:

Names of all directors (or equivalent)

Names of beneficial owners/shareholders holding over 25%

Names of all directors (or equivalent)

Other entities

Further guidance on verifying the identity of a range of non-personal entitles is provided in the JMLSG Anti-Money Laundering guidance for FSA regulated firms.

If any of these types of organisation wish to use our service please refer the matter to the MLRO.

PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

Any member of staff, who is suspicious that a transaction may involve money laundering or who becomes aware in the course of their work that someone else is involved in money laundering, must make a disclosure to the MLRO using the report form found in attachment. Copies of the report form are also to be found in the central Database

Page 46 of 85

Once completed, the form should be printed off. The member of staff making the report must sign and date the form or click on suspicious box in the system to create a digital ISAR which will be sent automatically to the MLRO.

The form must then be hand delivered by the reporting member of staff to the MLRO. The MLRO will sign a receipt to show date and time of report.

Upon receipt of the form by the MLRO, they will then decide what is to be done as a result of the report, e.g., whether the matter must be reported to the SOCA or not, or further enquiries made and record its decision and the reason for it on the report form on the Database. The member of staff concerned must be informed of the decision and the reasons for it.

If the matter is referred to the SOCA the MLRO will be responsible for completing the SOCA report form and discussing with the reporting member of staff how matters with the client/transaction are to be conducted from that stage, bearing in mind that POCA prohibits us from continuing with the prohibited act which is being reported to SOCA. The SOCA report form must be signed off by the MLRO or her deputy or, in both of their absence, a director.

In accordance with the tipping off provisions of POCA, the report must not be discussed with the customer.

We must not proceed with a transaction whilst we await consent from SOCA. SOCA is given 7 working days (sat/sun or bank holidays not included) to consider the report.

If we hear nothing then we may continue with the transaction but not inform the client about the report. SOCA may give consent to proceed earlier than this time limit. They may also refuse consent in which case they have a further 31 calendar days (including sat/sun or bank holidays) to further consider the report. After this they must either begin proceedings or allow the transaction to continue. Attached M shows our SOCA reporting timetable.

The MLRO will report using one of the existing standard methods and in the majority of cases will utilise SAR Online. (www.soca.gov.uk).

Page 47 of 85

If the MLRO decides to use any other method fax, disc, CD ROM or post she will use the standard SARs form, which must be typed.

Any paper file for each matter will be kept by the Compliance director, who should be notified of each matter.

There must be no record on the Customer file or on the computer system which refers in any way to suspicious circumstances reporting, money laundering, etc., to avoid the risk of tipping off. It is a criminal offence to inform a customer that a SAR has been submitted, or to inform them of an investigation into their affairs. All records of SAR will be kept in the central reporting file, which is kept in the MLROs office.

Suspicion Indicators The following lists are provided for staff as an aid to whether a particular transaction may be suspicious. The list is not exhaustive and staff should consider all the circumstances of a particular transaction before deciding whether to report any issues to the MLRO.

New customers and occasional or one-off transactions:

Checking identity is proving difficult. The customer is reluctant to provide details of their identity. There is no genuine reason for the customer using the services of an MSB A cash transaction is unusually large. The cash is in used notes and/or small denominations. The customer requests currency in large denomination notes. The customer will not disclose the source of cash. The explanation for the business and/or the amounts involved is not credible. A series of transactions are structured just below the regulatory threshold for due diligence identity checks. The customer has made an unusual request for collection or delivery. Transactions having no apparent purpose or which make no obvious financial sense, or which seem to involve unnecessary complexity. Unnecessary routing of funds through third parties.

Page 48 of 85

Regular and established customers.

The transaction is different from the normal business of the customer. The size of frequency of the transaction is not consistent with the normal activities of the customer. The pattern of transactions has changed since the business relationship was established. Money transfers to high-risk jurisdictions without reasonable explanation, which are not consistent with the customers usual foreign business dealings. Sudden increases in the frequency/value of transactions of a particular customer without reasonable explanation.

Examples where customer identification issues have potential to indicate suspicious activity.

The customer refuses or appears reluctant to provide information requested. There appears to be inconsistencies in the information provided by the customer. The customers area of residence is inconsistent with other profile details such as employment. An address appears vague or unusual. The supporting documentation does not add validity to the other information provided by the customer. The customer is in a hurry to rush a transaction through, with promises to provide the information later.

Examples of activity that might suggest to staff that there could be potential terrorist activity.

The customer is unable to satisfactorily explain the source of income. Frequent address changes. Media reports on suspected or arrested terrorists or groups.

Page 57 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF MONEY LAUNDERING RISK

POLICY It is the policy of this firm to assess the money laundering and terrorist financing risk presented by our clients so that we can mitigate that risk by applying an appropriate level of client due diligence. PROCEDURE 1 The money laundering or terrorist financing risk represented by each client will be assessed: 2 during the new client acceptance process, before any work is undertaken whenever the firms process of ongoing monitoring flags up a change in the business of an established client representing a change in money laundering risk

The assessment will be carried out by the responsible head of compliance: MLRO Fatima Fernandes, Compliance Director Nicholas Day, Senior Management: Christiano Simoes and Ricky Knox, Manager: Salomon Smilovitz who will judge into which of three categories the client and the business to be conducted falls: the range normally dealt with by the firm, requiring the firms normal level of client due diligence an exceptionally high level of risk requiring an enhanced level of client due diligence a negligible level of risk requiring only simplified client due diligence

In carrying out the assessment, the following factors are to be considered, and sufficient information must be obtained for it to be known whether: the individual client, or the principals of a corporate client, are locally resident, can be met in person, and have good reason for engaging this firm the identity of the client can be verified by the firms normal procedures the client is not subject to sanctions or in a category automatically requiring enhanced due diligence the products and services the firm is to provide and delivery channels to be used are vulnerable to money laundering risk significant sums are to be introduced and whether their provenance can be verified transactions are to involve other jurisdictions, and whether those have equivalent AML regulation to the firms own jurisdiction

A record must be made of the assessment, confirming that all the above factors have been taken into account, and any other relevant factors considered.

Page 58 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR THE VERIFICATION OF CLIENTS IDENTITY POLICY It is the policy of this firm to verify the identity of all clients, and to check that they are not the subject of sanctions or other statutory measures prohibiting the firm from providing its services. PROCEDURE 1 Where clients are an individual person or persons acting on their own behalf, the identity of the individual(s) will be verified by members of staff authorised by the firms MLRO, who will ensure that staff so authorised receive appropriate training. The member of staff conducting verification of identity will complete the process by checking that the client is not the subject of sanctions or other statutory measures, using the screening methods set out by the MLRO. Where the individual is a UK national resident in the UK, and will be seen in person by the member of staff carrying out the verification, identity will be conducted by examination of: one document confirming the individuals name, such as a passport one document confirming the individuals address, such as a utility bill this document is required even if the document confirming name also has the address

The firms MLRO will maintain a list of acceptable documents. Only originals or certified documents, not copies, will be accepted for examination. 4 In cases where a client cannot produce acceptable documents, the responsible Fatima Fernandes will make a risk-based decision on accepting the documents that are available, consulting with the MLRO if appropriate. Where the individual is not a UK national, or not resident in the UK, or will not be seen in person by the member of staff carrying out the verification, the responsible Ricky Knox will make a risk-based decision on the means of verification to be accepted, consulting with the MLRO if appropriate. Where the client is not the beneficial owner of assets involved, the responsible Compliance Team will take the necessary steps to determine who is the beneficial owner, and their identity will be verified according to this procedure in addition to that of the client. Where the client is a corporate entity such as a private limited company, the responsible compliance team will check that the entity is appropriately incorporated and registered, and take the necessary steps to determine who are the principal beneficial owners, and who exercises control, and their identity will be verified according to this procedure. Where the client is a listed company or a regulated firm, the responsible compliance team will check that the client is appropriately registered, and that the person with whom the firm is dealing is properly authorised to act on the clients behalf, and will verify the identity of that person according to this procedure, in addition to that of the client entity. In all cases where enhanced client due diligence is required the responsible compliance team and supervisors will consult with the MLRO to decide on additional steps to verify the clients identity.

10 All verification of identity processes will be recorded. This will include keeping photocopies of documents produced, or in exceptional cases with the approval of the MLRO, recording information about where copies are held and can be obtained.

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR KNOWING THE CLIENTS BUSINESS AS PART OF CDD
POLICY It is the policy of this firm to obtain information enabling us to understand every clients reason and purpose in using the services of the firm. This Know Your Clients Business (KYCB) information will enable us to maintain our assessment of the on-going money laundering risk, and notice changes or anomalies in the clients arrangements that could indicate money laundering. It is the policy of this firm not to offer its services, or to withdraw from providing its services, if a satisfactory understanding of the nature and purpose of the clients business with us cannot be achieved. PROCEDURE 1 The responsible supervisors, staff and compliance team will obtain KYCB information from clients: on acceptance of a new client on receipt of a new instruction from a client whose arrangements are of a one-off nature on any significant change in the clients arrangements such as the size or frequency of transactions, nature of business conducted, involvement of new parties or jurisdictions as an ongoing exercise throughout the client relationship

KYCB information sought from clients will include, but not be limited to: the clients reason for choosing this firm the purpose behind the services the client is asking the firm to provide the provenance of funds introduced or assets involved in the clients arrangements the nature, size, frequency, source and destination of anticipated transactions the counter-parties and jurisdictions concerned

The information will be obtained by asking the client pertinent questions in the course of normal conduct of the relationship. Answers given by the client will be recorded on the client file, to assist with future monitoring of the client relationship. Answers given by the client will be verified where this is possible within the normal conduct of the relationship, or by using readily available information sources. Answers not readily verifiable should nevertheless be considered together with other details known about or given by the client to check that all the information is consistent and plausible. Where answers given by the client are implausible, or inconsistent with other information, or where the client is unwilling to provide satisfactory answers to due diligence enquiries, the responsible compliance team will consider whether the firm should withdraw from the relationship.

Page 60 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR ONGOING MONITORING OF CLIENTS ACTIVITIES POLICY It is the policy of this firm to monitor clients instructions and transactions to ensure that they are consistent with those anticipated, that possible grounds to suspect money laundering will be noticed and scrutinised, and that changes requiring a re-assessment of money laundering risk will be acted upon. PROCEDURE 1 All significant client instructions and transactions will receive the attention of the responsible supervisors and compliance team who will consider whether they are consistent with those anticipated. Where a clients instruction or transaction is not consistent with what is anticipated: 3 an explanation will be sought, if appropriate by contacting the client the involvement of unexpected jurisdictions or organisations will be checked with the firms MLRO for possible alerts or sanctions if a satisfactory explanation is found, the client file will be updated with that explanation and to reflect the change in anticipated client activities if no satisfactory explanation is found, the responsible compliance team will consider whether there are grounds to suspect money laundering. the responsible Fatima Fernandes will consider whether there is cause to carry out a re-assessment of money laundering risk, and if so to carry this out

The responsible Fatima Fernandes will supplement the training provided to support staff by giving guidance on: the type of client instructions and transactions that count as significant and so should be brought to their attention noticing client instructions and transactions which, although not of a nature normally counting as significant, are in some way unusual or anomalous and should be considered with regard to possible suspicion of money laundering

Irrespective of whether specific incidents have caused a re-assessment of money laundering risk, every client file will be reviewed periodically to check that the information held is still adequate, correct and up to date the level of client due diligence being applied is still appropriate

Periodic review of client files will be conducted annually.

Page 61 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR KEEPING RECORDS OF CLIENT DUE DILIGENCE INFORMATION
POLICY It is the policy of this firm to keep records of enquiries made and information obtained while exercising client due diligence for AML purposes, and to ensure that these records are retained as required for legal and regulatory stipulations. These records will include but not be limited to details recorded for accounting and business development purposes. PROCEDURE 1 When information is being collected for AML client due diligence, the responsible Supervisors and Compliance team will: 2 keep records in the client file, or other appropriate place, of details collected personally record instances where information requested has not been forthcoming, or explanations provided have not been satisfactory ensure that staff undertaking AML due diligence enquiries on their behalf keep records in the appropriate places ensure that all records are kept in a consistent manner so that they are accessible by and comprehensible to other authorised members of staff, including the MLRO

CDD records will routinely be archived along with the firms accounting records to ensure their availability for a minimum of five years from the date of the completion of the transaction or enquiry. For clients who have been subject of a suspicion report, relevant records will be retained separately from the firms routine archives, and not destroyed, even after the five year period has elapsed, without confirmation from the MLRO that they are no longer required as part of an enquiry.

Page 62 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR INTERNAL SUSPICION REPORTING


POLICY It is the policy of this firm that every member of staff shall remain alert for the possibility of money laundering, and shall report any and every suspicion for which they believe there are reasonable grounds, following the firms procedure. The expectation placed on each individual member of staff in responding to possible suspicions shall be appropriate to their position in the firm. No-one is expected to have a greater knowledge and understanding of clients affairs than is appropriate to their role. PROCEDURE 1 Every member of staff must be alert for the possibility that the firms services could be used for money laundering purposes, or that in the course of their work they could become aware of criminal or terrorist property. Alertness to the possibility of money laundering must be combined with an appropriate knowledge of clients normal arrangements so that members of staff become aware of possible causes of suspicion. A member of staff becoming aware of a possible suspicion shall gather relevant information that is routinely available to them and decide whether there are reasonable grounds to suspect money laundering. Any additional CDD information acquired, in particular any explanations for unusual instructions or transactions, should be recorded on the client file in the routine manner, but there must be no mention of money laundering. The requirement to gather relevant information does not extend to undertaking research or investigation, beyond using information sources readily available within the firm. Clients may be asked for relevant information, but only in the context of routine client contact relevant to the business in hand. If after gathering and considering routinely available information, the member of staff is entirely satisfied that there are no grounds for suspicion, no further action should be taken. A member of support staff who on consideration decides that there may be grounds for suspicion shall in normal circumstances raise the matter with the responsible Fatima Fernandes. If after discussion they both agree that there are no grounds for suspicion, no further action should be taken. No member of staff is obliged to discuss a suspicion of money laundering with the responsible Supervisors They may, if in the circumstances they prefer, contact the MLRO directly. If following the raising of a possible suspicion by a member of staff, or resulting from their own observations, the responsible Fatima Fernandes decides that there are reasonable grounds to suspect money laundering, he or she must submit a suspicion report to the MLRO, in the format specified by the MLRO for that purpose. An internal suspicion report does not breach client, and no member of staff shall fail to make an internal report on those grounds.

Page 63 of 85

10 If a suspicion report results from a matter raised by a member of support staff, the responsible Fatima Fernandes must advise them in writing that a report has been submitted by reference to the matter discussed on the given date, without including the name of the person(s) suspected. This confirms to the member of staff who raised the matter that their legal obligation to report has been fulfilled. 11 In the circumstance where any member of staff forms a suspicion of money laundering but the responsible Fatima Fernandes does not agree that there are reasonable grounds for suspicion, the member of staff forming the suspicion must fulfil their legal obligation by submitting a money laundering suspicion report to the MLRO, in the format specified by the MLRO for that purpose. ( form enclose to this manual) The responsible Fatima Fernandes must recognise this legal requirement and assist the staff member in fulfilling it. 12 A member of staff who forms or is aware of a suspicion of money laundering shall not discuss it with any outside party or any other member of staff unless directly involved in the matter causing suspicion. 13 No member of staff shall at any time disclose a money laundering suspicion to the person suspected, whether or not a client, or to any outside party. If circumstances arise that may cause difficulties with client contact, the member of staff must seek and follow the instructions of the MLRO. 14 No copies or records of money laundering suspicion reports are to be made, except by the MLRO who will keep such records secure, and separate from the firms client files and other repositories of information.

Page 64 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR FORMAL DISCLOSURES TO THE AUTHORITIES


POLICY It is the policy of this firm that the Money Laundering Reporting Officer Fatima Fernandes (or if absent, the deputy Seanna Manita) shall receive and evaluate internal suspicion reports, and decide whether a formal disclosure is to be made to the authorities. If so deciding, the MLRO will make the formal disclosure on behalf of the firm, using the appropriate mechanism. PROCEDURE 1 On receipt of money laundering suspicion report from a member of staff, the MLRO shall acknowledge its receipt in writing, referring to the report by its date and unique file number, without including the name of the person(s) suspected. This confirms to the member of staff that their legal obligation to report has been fulfilled. The MLRO shall open and maintain a log of the progress of the report. This log shall be held securely and shall not form part of the client file. Following receipt of a report, the MLRO shall gather all appropriate information held within the firm, and make all appropriate enquiries of members of staff anywhere in the firm, in order properly to evaluate the report. The MLRO shall then decide whether they personally suspect, and reach a decision on the firms obligation to make a formal disclosure to the authorities. All members of staff, anywhere in the firm, shall respond in full to all enquiries made by the MLRO for the purposes of evaluating a suspicion report. Information provided to the MLRO in response to such enquiries does not breach client confidentiality/professional privilege, and no member of staff shall withhold information on those grounds. If deciding that a formal disclosure to the authorities is required, the MLRO shall make such disclosure by the appropriate means. The MLRO shall document in the report log the reasons for deciding to make or not to make a formal disclosure. The MLRO shall where appropriate inform the originator of the internal report whether or not a formal disclosure has been made. Following a formal disclosure, the MLRO shall take such actions as required by the authorities in connection with the disclosure.

Page 65 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR STOPPING/CONTINUING WORK FOLLOWING A SUSPICION REPORT


POLICY It is the policy of this firm that from the moment a suspicion of money laundering arises; no further work will be carried out on the matter that gave rise to the suspicion. Neither commercial considerations nor the difficulty in responding to the clients enquiries on the matter shall be permitted to take precedence over the firms legal obligations in this regard. In such circumstances the MLRO shall act with all possible speed to enable work to continue, and assist staff in any communications with the client affected. 1 PROCEDURE As soon as a member of staff forms or becomes aware of a suspicion of money laundering, no further work is to be done on the matter giving rise to suspicion. If there is any likelihood of the client becoming aware that work has stopped, for example because an anticipated transaction has not gone through, the member of staff concerned must contact the MLRO for instructions on how to handle the matter with the client. On receipt (form enclose to this report) of a suspicion report, the MLRO shall: instruct the originator of the report and any other staff involved to cease work on the matter giving rise to suspicion decide in the shortest possible time whether all work for the client concerned should be stopped, or whether other work that is not the cause of suspicion may continue, and advise relevant staff accordingly assist all affected staff in handling the matter with the client so that no tipping off offence is committed

When work for a client has been stopped, the MLRO shall carry out the evaluation of the suspicion report as quickly as possible to decide whether a disclosure must be made to the authorities. If the MLRO decides that there are not reasonable grounds to suspect money laundering, he will give consent for work to continue on his own authority. If the MLRO decides that a disclosure must be made, he will request consent to continue from SOCA as quickly as possible. On giving consent to continue, either on his own authority or on receipt of notice of consent or implied consent from SOCA, the MLRO will confirm this in writing to affected staff. If consent is refused by SOCA, the MLRO will take advice from SOCA and consult with the responsible Compliance Director Nicholas Day on the firms continuation of or withdrawal from the client relationship.

Page 66 of 85

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR AML TRAINING


POLICY It is the policy of this firm that all staff who have client contact, or access to information about clients affairs, shall receive anti-money laundering training to ensure that their knowledge and understanding is at an appropriate level, and ongoing training at least annually to maintain awareness and ensure that the firms legal obligations are met.
