market value of UTOF's investment portfolio was directly related to the market performance of some listed stocks. Some stocks experienced a decline in value in the fourth quarter of 2010 where UTOF's investment portfolio reduced from $72.2 million to $67.9 million. For 12 months comparison, the investment portfolio was reduced by 1.85% compared to a decline of 16.9% for the period 2008 - 2009.

It is indeed rewarding to note that the total number of unit holders continued to steadily increase to 12,488 (2009: 12,391) despite the competitive market environment and decline in market value of investment portfolio. This trend was largely attributed to the improved unit holder services and increase in dividend payout from 3.53 cents per unit to 6.85 cents per unit.

Total Return 2.45 -0.18 -0.04 -5.40

On the other hand, UTOF recorded a capital loss in excess of 10% due to decline in the market value of its investment portfolio which provided a total return of negative 5.40%. This was mainly attributed by market movement in the listed stocks and government guaranteed bonds. The capital appreciation 2008

2009

2010-15 months

of the fund's investment portfolio is directly linked to the performance of capital and financial markets.

As illustrated above, the unit holder growth is a direct indication of their investment objective of having a regular tax - free dividend income (applicable to resident investors only) and capital appreciation in a long term horizon.

The Year Ahead We are optimistic that the next financial year will see the fruition of a number of strategies that the Fund had initiated from 2009 as outlined in its Corporate Plan for the planning period 20112013.

Dividend Distribution UTOF had three (3) dividend distributions for the period under review due to change in its financial year from 30th September to 31st December. As illustrated in the table below, UTOF experienced low income from investment in the year 2008, hence a lower payout to the unit holders.

However, this result improved significantly in the year 2009 and 2010 where UTOF paid a final dividend of 3.50 cents per unit compared to 2008 final dividend payout of 1.39 cents per unit. As such, UTOF was able to meet its dividend payout objective of maintaining or paying competitive dividend to the unit holders.

UTOF's continues to regularly review its investment strategies as stipulated in the Investment Policy Statement "IPS" to create a well diversified and balanced investment portfolio in order to improve the return on investment and dividend payout to the unit holders.

Conclusion I would like to take this opportunity to commend and acknowledge the growing support and confidence from our existing unit holders, Board of Directors, Trustees, Shareholders and Reserve Bank of Fiji.

Also, I would like to extend my appreciation to the staff of Unit Trust of Fiji for their hard work and dedication to the company.

Unit Trust of Fiji 2010 Annual Report

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Period from 1 October 2009 to 31 December 2010

1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Unit Trust of Fiji (“the Trust”) is a unit trust incorporated and domiciled in Fiji. The address of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in note 12 to the financial statements.

Principal Activity The trust is an investment vehicle that allows investors monies to be pooled with other unit holders’ monies that in return are re issued with units and become unit holders in the unit trust. The pooled funds in the trust are then invested by the manager in accordance with the investment guidelines contained in the prospectus.

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Trustees and Managers on 31st May 2011. (a) Statement of compliance The financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with the Unit Trust Act 1978, the Trust Deed, Trust Act 1966, the Capital Markets Development Authority Act 1996 and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). (b) Basis of preparation and adoption of new and revised standards The financial statements have been presented in Fiji dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except where stated.

Commencing from 1 October 2009, the Trust has changed its accounting policies in the following area: (i)

Presentation of financial statements

The Trust applies revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became effective as at 1 January 2009. As a result, the Trust presents in the statement of changes in equity all owner changes in equity whereas all nonowner changes in equity are presented in the statement of comprehensive income. (ii)

Fair value hierarchy

The Trust applies amendments to IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which became effective as at 1 January 2009. As a result, the Trust classifies fair value measurements into a fair value hierarchy by reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in measuring fair value.

Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard. It does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure of specific transactions and other events required by other IFRSs. Except for the above, the accounting policies have been consistently applied during the year. (c) New standards and interpretations not adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2010, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Trust, except for IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which becomes mandatory for the Trust’s 2013 financial statements and could change the classification and measurement of financial assets. The Trust does not plan to adopt this standard early and the extent of the impact has not been determined. (d) Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It requires the Trustees and Managers to exercise their judgments in the process of applying the Trust’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued (d) Use of estimates and judgments - continued 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 any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements including the following notes: Note 1(e) – Financial assets Note 1(f) – Revenue recognition (e) Financial assets Financial assets are classified into the following categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the financial assets are acquired. The Manager determines the classification of financial asset at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation at every report date. (i) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the Trust intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Trust commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in the fair value reserve. When available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the profit or loss as gains or losses.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current market prices. Other unlisted equities are valued by independent valuers approved by the Fund Manager and Trustee as per the Trust Deed. The valuation takes into account the following methodologies: 1.

2.

3.

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Price to Earnings EV/ EBITDA (Earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortisation)

The Trust assesses at balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired.

If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from fair value reserve and recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the profit or loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit or loss when the impairment condition reverses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued (e) Financial assets - continued (i) Loans and receivables Loans and advances are recognised at recoverable amount, after assessing required provisions for impairment.

Impairment of a loan is recognised when there is reasonable doubt that not all the principal and interest can be collected in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is assessed by specific identification in relation to individual loans and estimation of expected losses in relation to loan portfolios where specific identification is impracticable. Bad debts are written off when identified. If a provision for impairment has been recognised in relation to a loan, write-offs for bad debts are made against the provision. If no provision for impairment has previously been recognised, write-offs for bad debts are recognised as expenses in the profit or loss. (f)

Revenue recognition Income is generally brought to account on an accrual basis. However effective from September 2008 interest income including penalty interest charged on loans to Mauainarewa Resorts Limited (Muainarewa) was recognised on a cash receipt basis.

Income from offshore investments is recorded on an accrual basis net of any withholding tax deducted at source.

Dividend income from listed or quoted securities is recognised when a market announcement is made. Dividend from unlisted and private equities is recognised when it is formally notified that dividend is declared and the right to receive dividends is established.

(g) Manager’s remuneration Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the Manager is entitled to receive manager’s remuneration being 1.5% of the value of the deposited property. (h) Distributions upon divestment Clause 19 of the Trust Deed permits the Managers in their absolute discretion to determine annually such amounts being the surplus from disposal of investments that year as being available for distribution. Any balance of the surplus from disposal of investments is then transferred to unitholders equity. (i)

Income tax The Trust is not subject to income tax provided the distributable income is declared for distribution to unit holders.

(j)

Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprises of cash at bank.

(k) Other receivables and accrued income Other receivables include cash receivable from sale of units and bank charges receivable from the “Management company”. Interest receivable and dividend declared but unpaid on shares owned are included under accrued income. (l)

Payables Payables are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services recorded, whether or not billed to the Trust. Payables are stated at cost as they are expected to be settled within next twelve months.

Foreign currency assets are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. (n) Change in balance date The balance date of the Trust has changed from 30 September to 31 December due to a directive from the Ministry of Public Enterprise for alignment to the government financial year. As a result of said change, the financial statements are not entirely comparable.

2.

Valuation of financial instrument The trust measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements: Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in active market for an identical instrument.

Level 2: Valuation technique based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active market for similar instrument; quoted prices for identical of similar instrument in the market that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable date and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted price for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumption are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

13. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES The Trust’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk, credit risk, performance risk, foreign exchange risk, and price risk), liquidity risk and operational risk. The Trust’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Trust’s financial performance.

The Manager has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Trust’s risk management framework.

The Trust’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Trust, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Trust’s activities.

Market risk i)

Interest rate

This is the risk borne by interest bearing assets such as loans and bonds due to the changes in interest rates. Through its investment policy the Trust aims to balance its portfolio through short term deposits and loans, and medium to long term Government and semi-government bonds.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Term deposits Bonds

2010 $ 1,500,000 20,857,274

2009 $ 1,050,000 23,211,838

22,357,274

24,261,838

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed instruments The Trust does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect income. ii)

Credit risk

This refers to the risk of losing investment funds due to companies, banks and financial institutions the Trust has deposits and provided short term loans defaulting on their repayments of principal or interest or both.

For deposits with banks and financial institutions, only reputable parties with known sound financial standing are accepted.

The Trust minimizes credit risk by conducting thorough due diligence on any investments its makes, ensure that there are guarantees on these investments by principal directors or sister companies, limit the amount that is given as loans and implement certain conditions and obtaining securities to secure funds advanced.

The total exposure of credit risk in the Trust’s portfolio is as follows: 2009 2010 $ $ 483,513 2,221,025 Cash at bank 23,495 54,011 Other receivables 26,399,188 20,082,003 Listed equities 10,567,947 11,879,455 Unlisted equities 1,050,000 1,500,000 Term deposits 500,000 Convertible notes 23,211,838 20,857,274 Bonds 12,000,000 12,000,000 Loans and receivables 69,093,768

1% 2% 31% 66% 100%

iii) Performance risk This risk relates to the performance of the investment in which the Trust has invested. The return on a particular investment such as a share, is affected by the performance of the issuer of the investment, and in the case of bonds the movement in interest rates and the ability of the Trust to hold the bond to maturity in the normal course of its operations.

Different investments tend to perform differently under the same operating environment. Therefore, the Trust at all times will try to have different types of investments in its portfolio. iv) Foreign exchange risk The Trust does not have investments nor holds funds offshore and is not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures. v)

Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the value of an investment will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.

Different investments (cash, shares, bonds, property) tend to perform differently under the same operating environment.

Liquidity risk This is the risk that the Trust will not be able to facilitate its unit holders’ redemption request. The Trust aims to maintain a buffer fund in liquid assets at all times to meet expected normal redemptions. Under the Trust Deed, the manager, with the concurrence of the Trustee, may suspend the redemption of units for such time as may be necessary to realise sufficient liquid funds to meet any unusual redemption requests.
