1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the Funds'
Constitutions and the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, which includes Accounting Standards. Other mandatory
professional reporting requirements have also been complied with.
The financial report is prepared on the basis of fair value measurement of assets and liabilities except where otherwise
stated.
The Balance Sheets are presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented in decreasing order of
liquidity and are not distinguished between current and non-current. All balances are expected to be settled within
twelve months, except for financial assets held for trading, loans and net assets attributable to unitholders. The amounts
expected to be recovered or settled after more than twelve months in relation to these balances cannot be reliably
determined, except as otherwise stated.
The Funds are for-profit unit trusts for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors of the Responsible Entity on 27 August 2013.
The directors of the Responsible Entity have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
The current reporting period for the financial report is from 01 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. The comparative reporting
period is from 01 July 2011 to 30 June 2012.
Both the functional and presentational currency of the Funds are Australian dollars.
Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures and presentation in the
current reporting period.
The Financial Report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRS"). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial
statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The Funds are registered schemes of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100 (as amended) issued by the Australian
Securities & Investments Commission relating to the "rounding off" of amounts in the Directors' Report and the Financial
Report. Amounts in the Directors' Report and the Financial Report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars in
accordance with that Class Order, unless otherwise indicated.
