NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
1. Accounting policies
The NewFunds Collective Investment Scheme ("the Scheme") is an open-ended
investment scheme incorporated under the Collective Investment Scheme Control
Act,45 of 2002.
The Scheme`s objective is to track the eRAFITrade Mark Industrial 25 index
calculated daily by the independent investment consulting firm Riscura. The
ETF invests in 25 companies that fall within the Industrial sector based on
their underlying value indicators as opposed to market capitalisation.
The scheme is mainly managed by Absa Capital, a division of Absa Bank Limited.
The financial information incorporates the principal accounting policies set
out below which have been applied consistently by NewFunds Collective
Investment Scheme for all periods presented.
1.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB), the AC500 standards as issued by the Accounting
Practices Board, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and in the manner required
by the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act and Trust Deed.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors
on 24 June 2011.
1.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except
where specifically indicated otherwise in the accounting policies.
1.3 Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the funds are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the
functional currency). The funds financial statements are presented in South
African Rand, which is the fund`s functional and presentation currency.
1.4 Financial instruments
Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial instruments are accounted for on
trade date. All other financial instruments are recognised when the entity
first becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus directly
attributable transaction costs which are only included in the initial carrying
amount of financial instruments that are not designated through profit or
loss.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as set out
below.
Investments
Investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception
and are financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but
are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in
accordance with the Fund`s documented investment strategy. Fair value is
determined with reference to quoted market prices as published in the
financial press, at reporting date. All changes in fair value, other than
dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss as a net gain/(loss) from
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
The Fund`s policy requires the Asset Managers and Investment Manager Committee
to evaluate the information about these investments on a fair value basis
together with other related financial information. These investments are
expected to be realised at any time at the option of the security holder.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less impairment losses. Trade and other receivables are short
term in nature and are not discounted. The carrying value approximates the
fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents
Comprises of cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of
three months or less measured at amortised cost at reporting date. The
carrying value approximates the fair value.
Trade and other payables
Measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying
value approximates the fair value.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of
a financial liability and of allocating the interest expense over the relevant
period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life of the
financial instrument, or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net
carrying amount of the financial instrument.
The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties
to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate,
transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
Issued securities
Financial liabilities arising from securities issued by each portfolio are
measured at fair value representing the investor`s right to an interest in the
portfolio`s net asset, i.e. the Net Asset Value ("NAV") of the portfolio. The
NAV is the total assets of the portfolio less trade and other payables.
Changes in the fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in
which the change arises and these financial liabilities are designated through
profit or loss.
The fair value of redeemable securities is measured at the redemption amount
that is payable (in cash and in securities, representing each investor`s
undivided and vested interest in their assets as a whole, subject to
liabilities, as defined by the Scheme`s Trust Deed).
In accordance with the Scheme`s Trust Deed, and CISCA, the portfolios are
contractually obliged to redeem securities at Net Asset Value.
Creations and redemptions
Creations and redemptions are recorded on trade date using historic cost being
the previous day closing index price.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition, and fees and costs that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate. The amortisation is included in "Interest income" in profit and
loss. The carrying amount of impaired loans on the statement of financial
position is reduced through the use of impairment.
Redeemable securities
All redeemable securities provided by the portfolios provide investors with
the right to request redemption for cash or in specie at the value
proportionate to each investor`s share. The securities are redeemable at any
time at the option of the security holder and are therefore classified as
financial liabilities.
1.5 Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
The Scheme derecognises a financial asset when and only when:
- The contractual rights to the cash flows arising from the financial
assets have expired or been forfeited by the Scheme; or
- It transfers the financial asset including substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the assets; or
- It transfers the financial asset, neither retaining nor transferring
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, but no
longer retains control of the assets.
A financial liability is derecognised when and only when the liability is
extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or has expired.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between
the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any
new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in profit or
loss.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part
thereof) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is
recognised in profit or loss.
1.6 Impairments
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence
that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if
objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative
effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes observable data
that comes to the attention of the company and may include the following loss
event:
The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of
financial difficulties.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost
is calculated as the difference between the asset`s carrying amount, and the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial
asset`s original effective interest rate.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
1.7 Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the
statement of financial position when the entity holds a current legally
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends to either
settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
1.8 Fair value
Some of the Scheme`s financial instruments are measured at fair value through
profit, namely those designated by management under the fair value option.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument
can be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced or liquidation sale.
The method of determining the fair value of financial instruments can be
analysed into the following categories:
(a)Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets where the quoted price is
readily available and the price represents actual and regularly occurring
market transactions on an arm`s length basis.
(b)Valuation techniques using market observable inputs. Such techniques
may include:
- using recent arm`s length market transactions;
- reference to the current fair value of similar instruments; and
- discounted cash flow analysis, pricing models or other techniques
commonly used by market participants.
(c)On initial recognition of financial instruments measured using the above
techniques the transaction price is deemed to provide the best evidence
of fair value for accounting purposes. As such, profits or losses are
recognised upon trade inception only when such profits can be measured
solely by reference to observable market data. The difference between the
model valuation and the initial transaction price is either amortised
over the life of the transaction, deferred until the instrument`s fair
value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realised
through settlement.
The valuation techniques in (b) and (c) use inputs such as interest rate yield
curves, equity prices, commodity and currency prices/yields, volatilities of
the underlying and correlations between inputs. The models used in these
valuation techniques are calibrated against industry standards, economic
models and to observed transaction prices where available.
The best evidence of fair value at initial recognition is the transaction
price (i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received), unless the
fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable
current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e. without modification
or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only
data from observable markets. The Scheme has entered into transactions, some
of which will mature within one year, where fair value is determined using
valuation models for which all inputs are market observable prices or rates.
Such a financial instrument is initially recognised at the transaction price,
which is the best indicator of fair value, this does not substantially differ
from the relevant valuation model.
1.9 Income
Income comprises interest income and dividend income.
Investment income is that income that is directly related to the return from
individual investments. It is recognised to the extent that it is probable
that there will be an inflow of economic benefits and the income can be
reliably measured.
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the
effective interest method and includes interest income from debt securities.
Dividends from equity investments are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income when the shareholders` rights to receive payment have
been established except to the extent that dividends, clearly reflects a
realisation of the underlying investments.
1.10 Distributions
In accordance with the Scheme`s Trust Deed, the portfolios distribute their
distributable income and any other amounts determined by the management
company to security holders in cash. The distributions are payable at the end
of each quarter.
1.11 Fair value gains and losses
Realised profits or losses on the disposal of investments is the difference
between the fair value of the consideration received less any directly
attributable costs, on the sale of equity investments and the repayment of
loans and receivables, and its carrying value at the start of the full
reporting period.
Unrealised profits or losses on the revaluation of investments are the
cumulative movements in the carrying value of investments for every month in
the reporting period.
1.12 Management and administration expenses
Management and administration expenses are recognised in profit or loss when a
decrease in future economic benefits related to decrease in an assets or an
increase of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.
It is recognised based on the matching concept where expenses are matched with
income.
1.13 Taxation
Income is taxed in the hands of the investor if distributed within 12 months,
failing which revenue will be deemed to be received by and accrued to the
portfolio and will be taxed in its hands. Capital gains and losses are
disregarded.
1.14 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the scheme has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will occur, and where a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation. Where the effect of discounting is
material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Future operating costs or losses are not provided for.
1.16 New standards and interpretations adopted in the current year
There are no new standards adopted in the current year.
1.17New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
There are new standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and
interpretations relevant to the entity that are not yet effective for the year
ended 31 March 2011 and have not been applied in preparing the financial
statements. These include the following standards and interpretations that are
applicable to the business of the entity and may have an impact on the future
financial statements:
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The revised IAS 24 Related Party Disclosure amends the definition of a related
party and modifies certain related party disclosure requirements for
government-related entities. Amendments are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The amendment might affect the
disclosure of the fund`s related parties on the financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two
primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair
value. The basis of classification depends on the entity`s business model and
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The guidance in
IAS 39 on Impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to
apply. Amendments are effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2013. The Amendment might affect disclosure of NewFunds CIS financial
instruments in the financial statements.
1.18 Operating Segments
The portfolios, eRAFITrade Mark Overall, NewSA, Shariah, eRAFITrade Mark
Financial, eRAFITrade Mark Industrial, eRAFITrade Mark Resources, that trade
under the umbrella of the NewFunds Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) as
separate exchange traded funds. Each of the mentioned funds is separately
listed and trades on the JSE. Thus each of the separate portfolios fall within
the scope of IFRS 8:
Operating Segments.
Comparative segment information has been presented in conformity with the
requirements of such standards. The application of the standard only impacts
the presentation and disclosure aspect of the financial statements.
