Auditor’s report on annual accounts
Year ended December 30, 2011
Pursuant to the mission entrusted to us by the Board of Directors of the Fund Management Company, we hereby present our report relative to the financial year closed on 30 December 2011 on : - the audit of the annual accounts of the ÉCHIQUIER PATRIMOINE mutual fund, as attached to this report, - the justification for our assessments, - the specific verifications and the information provided by the law.
The annual accounts were drawn up by the Fund Management Company. It is down to us, on the basis of our audit, to express an opinion on these accounts.
I – Opinion on the annual accounts We conducted our audit in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France; these standards require the implementation of procedures making it possible to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual accounts do not comprise significant anomalies. An audit consists of verifying, through sampling or by means of other methods of selection, the elements justifying the amounts and information featuring in the annual accounts. With regard to a UCITS, it does not relate to the databases provided by independent third parties to draw up the off-balance sheet statement included in the annual accounts. It also consists of assessing the accounting principles followed, the significant estimates used and the overall presentation of the accounts. We feel that the elements we have collected are sufficient and appropriate on which to base our opinion. We certify that, with regard to French accounting rules and principles, the annual accounts are valid and sincere and give a true image of the results of the operations for the past financial year and the financial situation and assets of the UCITS at the end of this financial year.

II – Justification for our Assessments
Year ended December 31,2011
Pursuant to the provisions of article L. 823-9 of the French Commercial Code relative to the justification for our assessments, we hereby notify you of the following element: - our assessments in particular related to respect for the accounting principles and methods applicable to UCITS, as defined by regulation n° 2003-02 of the Accounts Regulation Committee. The assessments thus made fall within the framework of our approach for auditing annual accounts, taken in their entirety, and therefore contributed to forming our opinion expressed in the first part of this report.
III – Specific Information and Verifications In compliance with professional standards applicable in France, we have also conducted the specific verifications set out by the law. We have no observation to make on the truthfulness and the concordance with the annual accounts of the information given in the annual report and in the documents sent to unit holders on the financial situation and the annual accounts.

accountingrules and methods
The annual accounts are presented in the format set forth in CRC Regulation no. 2003-02 of 2 October 2003 relative to the chart of accounts for UCITS, amended by CRC Regulation no. 2005-07 of 3 November 2005 approved by the ministerial order of 26 December 2005. Asset valuation and accounting rules : V-1 - Asset valuation rules A – Valuation method • Financial instruments and securities traded on a regulated market are valued at market price. Notwithstanding this, the instruments below are valued using specific methods: - European equities and bonds are valued at the closing price, and foreign securities are valued at the last known price. - Debt securities and equivalent negotiable instruments which are not involved in significant transactions are valued using an actuarial method. The rate used is that applied for issues of equivalent securities plus or minus, where necessary, a differential representative of the intrinsic characteristics of the issuer. However, negotiable debt securities with a residual maturity of 3 months or less, in the absence of a particular sensitivity, may be valued using the straight-line method. - Negotiable debt securities with a maturity of less than 3 months are valued at the purchase negotiating rate. The amortisation of the premium or the discount is applied on a straightline basis over the term of the negotiable debt security. - Negotiable debt securities with a maturity of more than 3 months are valued at market rate. - Units or shares of funds are valued at the last known net asset value. - Securities coming under temporary purchase or sale agreements are valued in accordance with the regulations in force, based on the terms of the original agreement. • Financial instruments not traded on a regulated market are valued by the management company at their probable trading value. • Warrants or subscription certificates obtained free of charge during private placements or capital increases are valued as of their admission to a regulated market or the organisation of an over-the-counter market. • Contracts: - Futures are valued at the settlement price and options are valued on the basis of the vehicle used. - The market price for futures is equal to the price in EUR multiplied by the number of contracts. - The market price for options is equal to their conversion into the underlying equivalent. - Interest rate swaps are valued at market rate, in accordance with the contractual provisions. - Off-balance-sheet transactions are valued at market price. • Financial instruments for which a price has not been recorded on the valuation date, or for which the price has been adjusted, are valued at their probable trading value by the Board of Directors of the management company. The auditor will be provided with these valuations and their justification when it carries out its audits. B - Practical methods • Shares and bonds are valued on the basis of prices taken from the Finalim and Bloomberg databases, depending on their listing market. The research options are completed by “Télékurs” “Fin’xs” and “Reuters” “Securities 3000”: - Asia-Oceania : taken at 12 noon for a quotation at the closing price of that day.

Positions on the options markets at each net asset value are valued according to the principles used for the underlying. - Asia-Oceania : taken at 12 noon - America : taken at 9 a.m. on D+1 - Europe excluding France : taken at 7.30 p.m. - France : taken at 18 noon V-2 - Accounting method • The accounting method used for recording income from financial instruments is the 'coupons received' method. • The accounting method for recording transaction fees is exclusive of expenses. Methods for evaluating off-balance sheet commitments Off-balance sheet commitments are evaluated at their commitment value. The commitment value for futures contracts is equal to the price (in the currency of the UCIT) multiplied by the number of contracts multiplied by the nominal amount. The commitment value for options contracts is equal to the price of the underlying security (in the currency of the UCIT) multiplied by the number of contracts multiplied by the delta multiplied by the nominal amount of the underlying security. The commitment value for swap contracts is equal to the nominal amount of the contract (in the currency of the UCIT). Operating and management costs These fees cover all costs charged directly to the Fund, with the exception of transaction fees. Transaction fees include intermediation expenses (brokerage, stock exchange taxes etc.) and transfer fees, if applicable, which may be levied by the custodian and the management company. The following fees may also be charged in addition to operating and management fees : - excess return fees. These are paid to the management company if the Fund exceeds its objectives. They are therefore charged to the Fund; - transfer fees charged to the Fund; - a share of income from the temporary acquisition and sale of securities.
