- 12-

Fusion Fund - Ausbil Australian Active EquityoFundNotes to the financial statements

3Ò June 2009(continued)


(p) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

(i) AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising fromAASB 8 (effective from 1 January 2009)

AASB 8 will result in a significant change in the approach to segment reporting, as it requires adoption of a'management approach' to reporting on financial performance. The information being reported will be based on whatthe key decision' makers use internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resourcesto operating segments. The Fund will adopt AASB 8 from 1 July 2009: The Fund is organised into one mainsegment which operates solely in the business of investments management within Australia. Consequently, nodetailed segment reporting is provided in the Fund's financial statements.

(ii) RevisedAASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 2007-8 Amendments to AustralianAccounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (effective from 1 January 2009)

The revised AASB 101 requires the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and makes changes tothe statement of changes in equity, but will notaffectany' of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Ifthe Fund makes a prior period adjustment or re-c1assifies items in the financial statement, it will need to disclose athird balance sheet (statement of financial position), this one being at the beginning of the comparative period, TheFund will apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009:

(iii)AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and AASB 2008-2 Amendments to Australian AccountingStandards - Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (Revised AASB 132).

Revised AASB132 is applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The Fund has notadopted this standard early. Application of this standard will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financialstatements as the Fund is obligated to distribute all of its taxable income in accordance with the Fund's Constitution,Accordingly, there will be no change to classification of unitholders' funds as a liability and therefore no impact onprofit or loss and equity:

I

(q)Segment reporting

A businèss segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services thatare subject tö risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments, A geographical segment isidentified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks andreturns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

3 Financial risk management

The Fund's activities expose it toa variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, foreign exchange riskand interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

T,"e Fund's overall risk management programme focuses on ensuring compliance with the Fund's ProductDisclosure Statement and seeks to maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which'the Fund is exposed.Financial risk management is carried out by the responsible entity under policies approved by the Board of Directorsof the responsible entity.

The Fund uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods includesensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and ratings analysis for creditris~ ,(a) Market risk

(i) Price Risk

The underlying fund managers provide redemption prices for the funds on a monthly basis and the prices as at 30June 2009 have been used to determine those investments carrying value as at 30 June 2009. These areinvestments in unlisted trusts. This risk is managed by ensuring that all activities are transacted in accordance withthe fund constitution, product disclosure statement, compliance plan and overall investment strategy.

, Fusion Fund - Ausbil Australian Active Equity FundNotes to the financial statements


3 Financial risk management (continued)

(a) Market risk (continued)

The table on page 15 summarises the impact of an increase/decrease of the underlying investment funds unit priceson the Fund's net assets attributable to unitholders at 30 June 2009. The analysis is based on the assumptions thatthe underlying investment funds unit price increased/decreased by 15% (2008: 7.5%) with all other variables heldconstant. The impact mainly arises from the possible change in the fair value of investments in unlisted unit trusts.

(ii) Foreign exchange risk

There is no direct foreign exchange risk in this Fund. Indirect foreign exchange risk cannot be managed as the Funddoes not receive sufficient information to assess on a look-through basis.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Fund's interest bearing financial assets expose it to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. The risk is measured usingsensitivity analysis.

The fund does not have direct exposure to debt instruments, guarantees, collateral and derivatives.

The interest rate risk disclosures have been prepared on the basis of the Fund's direct investment and not on alook-through basis for investments held indirectly through unit trusts. Consequently, the disclosure of interest rate

risk below may not represent the true interest rate risk profile of the Fund where the Fund has significantinvestments in unit trusts which also have exposure to the interest rate markets.

The fund may have an indirect exposure to bonds through its investment in the cash trust. Movements in interestrates will also affect amount of interest earned on cash deposits.

The table below summarises the Fund's exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Fund's assets and liabilities atfair values.

3 Financial risk management (continued)

(a) Market risk (continued)

The table below summarises the impact of an increase/decrease of interest rates on the Fund's operating profit andnet assets attributable to unitholders through changes in fair value or changes in future cash flows. The analysis isbased on the assumption that interest rates changed by +/ - 50 basis points (2008- +/- 75 basis points) from the yearend rates with all other variables held constant. The impact mainly arises from changes in the fair value of fixedinterest securities.

(b) Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Fund's operating profit and net assets attributable to. unitholders to interest rate risk and price risk. The reasonably possible movements in the risk variables have beendetermined based on Management's best estimate, having regard to a number of factors, including historical levelsof changes in underlying funds investment unit price. However, actual movernents in the risk variables 'may begreater or less than anticipated due to a number of factors, including unusuaíly large market shocks resulting from'changes inthe performance of the economies, markets and securities in which the underlying fund invests. Asaresult,' historic variations in risk variables are not a definitive indicator of future variations in the, risk variables.

The variables for price risk represent the impact of one day's movement in the price of the underlying equity ,investment before taking into account the effect of Threshold Management. The Fund uses Threshold Managementas an investment technique to manage price risk. Threshold Management seeks to ensure that the value of theFund's units is at least equal to the original investment at the Threshold Management expiry date as specified in theProduct Disclosure Statement.

(c) Credit risk

The fund is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full whenthey fall due. .The exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is lowas all counterparties have a rating of A- asdetermined by the Standards and Poor's rating agency.

Other than the cash and cash equivalents and investment in the underlying fund, the Fund does not have aconcentration of a credit risk that arises from an exposure to a single counterparty. Furthermore, the Fund does nothave a material exposure to a group of counterparties which are expected to be affected similarly by changes ineconomic or other conditions.

There are no non-performing assets in the fund.

The carrying amount of the financial assets best represents the Fund's maximum credit risk exposure at balancedate.

(d) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficientfunds to satisfy commitments. There is no significant direct liquidity risk in this Fund as the responsible entity hasdisGretion whether to accept or reject a redemption request as stipulated in the product disclosure statement.Indirect risk cannot be managed as the Fund does not have sufficient information to assess on a look-through basis.
