(“BIM”) is the investment manager(the “Investment Manager”) of the Fund. The Investment Manager makes all of the investment andtrading decisions on behalf of the Fund. The Fund’s registered office is Brookfield Place, 181 BayStreet, Suite 300 Toronto, Ontario Canada M5J 2T3. These financial statements were authorized forissue by the Manager on March 30, 2015.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ADOPTION OF IFRS

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial ReportingStandards ("IFRS"). The Fund adopted this basis of accounting in 2014 as required by Canadian securitieslegislation and the Canadian Accounting Standards Board. Previously, the Fund prepared its financialstatements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as defined in Part Vof the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook ("Canadian GAAP"). The Fund hasconsistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening IFRS statement offinancial position at July 18, 2013 and throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had alwaysbeen in effect.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation ofcertain financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the considerationgiven in exchange for assets. Note 14 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Fund'sreported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect ofsignificant changes in accounting policies from those used in the Fund's financial statements for theyear ended December 31, 2013 which were prepared under Canadian GAAP.

In applying IFRS, management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts of assets,liabilities, income and expenses reported in these financial statements. The most significant estimatesrelate to the valuation of investments. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial InstrumentsThe Fund’s investments in equity and fixed income securities are designated at fair value throughprofit or loss (“FVTPL”) at inception. The Fund’s derivatives are categorized as held for trading. As a

Page 11: Brookfield Global Infrastructure Securities Income Fund/media/... · Brookfield Global Infrastructure Securities Income Fund 2014 Annual Financial Statements | 4 STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE

Brookfield Global Infrastructure Securities Income Fund

2014 Annual Financial Statements | 10

result of such designation and categorization, the Fund’s investments and derivatives are measured atFVTPL. The Fund’s accounting policies for measuring the fair value of its investments and derivativesare identical to those used in measuring its published Net Asset Value (NAV).

OffsettingFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the stat Statements ofFinancial Position only when the Fund has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either tosettle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In the normal courseof business, the Fund enters into various master netting agreements or similar agreements that do notmeet the criteria for offsetting in the Statements of Financial Position but still allow for the relatedamounts to be offset in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or termination of contracts.

Fair Value MeasurementFair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assetsand liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded marketable securities) are based onquoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. However, if (i) a fair value orprice is not readily available, (ii) the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of fair valueby the Investment Manager, or (iii) a significant event has occurred that would materially affect thevalue of the security, the security is fair valued, as determined in good faith, by the Fund’s ValuationCommittee. The Fund’s Valuation Committee is comprised of senior members of the InvestmentManager’s management team. The price determined by the Valuation Committee is an estimate andmay differ from the actual price used in a purchase or sale transaction. The Fund’s policy is torecognize transfers into and out of the fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or changein circumstances giving rise to the transfer.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market including over-the-counter derivatives is determined using established valuation procedures. The Fund uses a varietyof methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each measurementdate. Valuation techniques include the use of comparable recent arm’s length transactions, referenceto other instruments that are substantially the same and others commonly used by market participantsand which make the maximum use of observable inputs. Refer to Note 7 for further information aboutthe Fund’s fair value measurements.

All investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses frominvestment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of investments arecalculated on an average cost basis, excluding transaction costs and the effect of foreign exchangefluctuations, which are disclosed separately.

Other assets and liabilitiesFor the purpose of categorization, accrued investment income is recorded at cost or amortized cost.Similarly, margin payable, payables for securities purchased, distributions payable and accountspayable and accrued liabilities are deemed to be other financial liabilities and reported at amortizedcost. All other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Under this method,financial assets and liabilities reflect the amounts required to be received or paid, discounted whenappropriate, at the financial instrument’s effective interest rate. The fair values of the Fund’sfinancial assets and liabilities that are not carried at FVTPL approximate their carrying amounts due totheir short-term nature.

Revenue recognitionDividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and the interest for distribution purposes shownon the Statements of Comprehensive Income represents the coupon interest received by the Fundaccounted for on an accrual basis.

2014 Annual Financial Statements | 11

Transaction costsTransaction costs, such as brokerage commissions incurred in the purchase and sale of securities by theFund, are expensed and are included in operating expenses in the Statements of ComprehensiveIncome. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issueor disposal of an investment, which include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers anddealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties.

Functional and presentation currencyThe performance of the Fund is measured and reported to the investors in Canadian dollars. TheManager considers the Canadian dollar as the currency that most faithfully represents the economiceffects of the underlying transactions, event and conditions. These financial statements are presentedin Canadian dollars, which is the Fund’s functional currency.

Foreign currency translationInvestments and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollarsusing the rate of exchange prevailing on the trade date. Investment transactions and income andexpenses are translated at the rate of exchange on the date of such transactions. The fair values ofinvestments and other assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the period-endexchange rates.

Forward currency contractsForward currency contracts, if applicable, are valued at current market value on each valuation date.The value is determined as the gain or loss that would be realized, if on the valuation date, theposition of the forward currency contracts were closed out.

Redeemable UnitsThe Fund’s redeemable Units are classified as financial liabilities. Distributions to holders ofredeemable units are recognized in Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders ofRedeemable Units when they are authorized.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted:The final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was issued by the International Accounting StandardsBoard in July 2014 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9introduces a model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The new single,principle based approach for determining the classification of financial assets is driven by cash flowcharacteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a singleimpairment model being applied to all financial instruments, which will require more timelyrecognition of expected credit losses. It also includes changes in respect of own credit risk inmeasuring liabilities elected to be measured at fair value, so that gains caused by the deterioration ofan entity’s own credit risk on such liabilities are no longer recognized in profit or loss. IFRS 9 iseffective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, however is available for earlyadoption. In addition, the own credit changes can be early applied in isolation without otherwisechanging the accounting for financial instruments. The Fund is in the process of assessing the impact ofIFRS 9 and has not yet determined when it will adopt the new standard.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Manager to makejudgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and thereported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from theseestimates.

2014 Annual Financial Statements | 12

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates arerecognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected.

Fair Value Measurement of Derivatives and Securities Not Quoted in an Active MarketThe Fund may hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets. Fair values of suchinstruments are determined using valuation techniques and may be determined using reputable pricingsources (such as pricing agencies) or indicative prices from market markers. Broker quotes as obtainedfrom the pricing sources may be indicative and not executable or binding.

5. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

The Fund is exposed to various financial risks, including market risk (consisting of currency risk,interest rate risk, and other price risk), and liquidity risk. The Fund’s overall risk managementprogramme seeks to minimize potentially adverse effects of those risks on the Fund’s financialperformance by employing experienced portfolio managers and by continuous monitoring of the Fund’ssecurities positions and markets. The Manager maintains a corporate governance structure thatoversees the Fund’s investment activities. The Fund may use derivative financial instruments tomitigate certain risk exposures and is currently engaged in a series of foreign exchange contracts asdescribed below.

Currency riskCurrency risk is the risk that the value of an investment will change due to fluctuations in foreignexchange rates.

The Fund’s net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units are measured in Canadian dollars andpayments to Unitholders are made in Canadian dollars. The Fund is exposed to currency risks as it mayhold assets or have liabilities denominated in currencies other than in Canadian dollars. As atDecember 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Fund was exposed to currency risk as the value of anyassets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar will vary due to changesin foreign exchange rates.

The following tables summarize the Fund’s exposure to foreign currency as at December 31, 2014 andDecember 31, 2013:

*Other Net Assets includes borrowings of $127,854,880

As at December 31, 2014, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 1% against each of theother currencies with all other variables remaining constant, the net assets of the Fund would havedecreased or increased by $1,889,910 (December 31, 2013 - $2,499,299). From time to time, between0% and 100% of the value of the Portfolio’s non-Canadian currency may be hedged back to the Canadiandollar.

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flowsor fair values of financial instruments.

The Fund is exposed to interest rate risk from its holdings of fixed-rate debt instruments, the values ofwhich fluctuate due to changes in prevailing levels of market interest rates. As at December 31, 2014,the Fund’s debt instruments’ remaining terms to maturity were as follows:

Interest rate risk of the Fund is currently mitigated by the relatively short duration and high creditspread of the high yield bonds and loans in the Portfolio. These characteristics make the Portfolio’ssensitivity to interest rate risk relatively less than what would be experienced by a portfolio withlonger duration investments that trade at tighter spreads to government-backed fixed incomesecurities. It would also be possible to hedge interest rate risk by shorting government-backed fixedincome securities or engaging in various interest rate derivatives. As at December 31, 2014 andDecember 31, 2013, the Fund had no such hedges in place.

At December 31, 2014, if the prevailing interest rates had risen or declined by 0.25%, assuming aparallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables held constant, the Fund’s net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units would have decreased or increased, respectively, byapproximately $384,592. The Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes was estimated using theweighted average duration of the bonds. In practice, the actual results may differ from this sensitivityanalysis and the differences could be material.

The Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk at December 31, 2013 was not significant; therefore nosensitivity analysis was necessary.

Other price riskOther price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes inmarket prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). Such changes may bethe result of factors affecting multiple instruments traded in a market, market segment or asset class.The Fund is exposed to other price risk of securities held in the Portfolio. The Fund may take outrightlong or short positions in any of its investments, which may include derivative instruments for purposesconsistent with its investment objectives and investment strategy and subject to its investmentrestrictions.

The Investment Manager seeks to mitigate this risk through careful selection of securities and otherfinancial instruments. As at December 31, 2014, had the market increased or decreased by 5% with allother variables remaining constant, the net assets of the Fund would have increased or decreased by$18,635,093 (December 31, 2013 - $21,431,258).

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal payments.

The Fund is exposed to several types of credit risks including the risk that one or more investments inthe Portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer ofthe security experiences a decline in its financial status. As at December 31, 2014, the maximumexposure to any one debt issuer in the Portfolio was $8,207,895 (December 31, 2013 - $0) representing2.31% (December 31, 2013 – 0.00%) of net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units.

The performance of the Fund is also subject to general economic and specific industry conditions thatcould impact the fair value of one or more debt securities in the Portfolio. Securities with lower ratingstend to be more sensitive to these kinds of risks.

As at December 31, 2014, the Fund was invested in debt securities with the following credit ratings:

* Or, if not rated by S&P, the comparable rating from Fitch Ratings Inc

The Manager seeks to mitigate the above credit risk through the careful selection of investments,through the employment of experienced portfolio managers and through continuous monitoring of theFund’s investments.

Another type of credit risk is exposure to the creditworthiness of the Fund’s trading counterparties. Allsecurities transactions executed by the Fund are settled upon delivery using approved brokers. The riskof payment default on securities is considered negligible, as delivery of securities sold is only madeonce the broker has received payment on behalf of the Fund. Payment is not made on a purchase untilthe securities have been received by the broker on behalf of the Fund. The trade will fail if eitherparty fails to meet its obligation.

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts primarily to hedge againstforeign currency exchange rate risks on its non-Canadian dollar denominated investment securities. Inaddition to currency and market risk, forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve risks arisingfrom the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts from movement incurrency, security values, and interest rates. The Fund seeks to mitigate this risk through the carefulselection of its derivative counterparties.

The Fund’s exposure to credit rate risk at December 31, 2013 was not significant; therefore nosensitivity analysis was necessary.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligation on time or at areasonable price.

The Fund has current financial liabilities outstanding, including but not limited to, margin loans andinterest payable on its margin loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Investment Managerseeks to mitigate this liquidity risk by ensuring that a reasonable portion of the Fund’s investmentstrade in active markets and can be sold readily. There can be no assurance that an adequate marketfor the investments will exist at all times, or that the prices at which the investments trade, accuratelyreflect their fair value. Low trading volumes of the investments could also make it difficult to liquidateholdings quickly.

As required by IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments, the Fund’s financial liabilities should be categorized intorelevant maturity groupings based on the remaining year as at December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013,and January 1, 2013 to the contractual maturity date. However, as all liabilities, including liabilitiesfor redeemable units tendered for redemption as of the applicable balance sheet date (of which therewere none as at December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and July 18, 2013), are due in less than oneyear, this analysis is not required in this instance. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, the InvestmentManager monitors the Fund’s overall liquidity risk on a continuous basis.

6. BORROWINGS

The Fund uses leverage to finance the purchase of certain investments. Leverage is restricted to 33% ofthe total assets for the Fund. Accordingly, at the time of borrowing, the maximum amount of leveragethat the Fund could employ is 1.50:1 (total long positions (including leveraged positions) divided by netassets of the Fund). Derivatives and shorting used solely for purposes of hedging are not included in theleverage threshold calculation. As at December 31, 2014, the Fund had employed leverage equal to24.6% of total assets (December 31, 2013 - $24.1%), equating to $139.0 million (December 31, 2013 -$127.9 million) of the total assets. The minimum and maximum amount of borrowings outstandingduring the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $77.6 million and $139.9 million, respectivelyand during the period from July 18, 2013 to December 31, 2013 was $0 and $127.9 million,respectively. The borrowings were used to grow the Fund’s investments and for working capital needs.Adding a controlled amount of leverage to the Fund is consistent with the Fund’s objectives.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Fund uses a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for disclosing fair value which reflects thesignificance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices in an active market (Level 1—unadjusted inputs); Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2—directly or indirectly derived from

observational market data); and Level 3 - inputs not based on observable market data (Level 3—unobservable inputs).

2014 Annual Financial Statements | 16

In addition to the above disclosure requirements, IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, requiresdisclosure of significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior reporting period, as well asreconciliation of Level 3 assets, disclosing separately changes during the reporting period attributableto:

(i) total gains or losses recognized in net income, and a description of where they arepresented in the income statement,

(ii) purchases, sales, issues and settlements, and(iii) transfers into or out of Level 3 and the reasons for those transfers. Any significant transfers

between Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed. Further, for fair value measurements in Level 3,if changing one or more type of the inputs to reasonably possible alternative assumptionswould change fair value significantly, the entity shall state this fact and disclose both theeffect of those changes and how the effect was calculated.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used as at December 31, 2014 and December 31,2013 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

The carrying values of cash, subscriptions receivable, interest receivable, payable for investmentspurchased, redemptions payable, distributions payable, accrued expenses and the Funds’ obligationsfor Net Assets attributable to holders of redeemable units approximates their fair values due to theirshort-term nature.

During the Period, there were no Level 3 assets held by the Fund, nor were there significant transfersbetween levels.

The following provides details of the categorization in the fair value hierarchy by asset classes:

b) Fixed incomeFixed income includes primarily corporate bonds, and term loans which are valued at the bid priceprovided by recognized investment dealers. These prices are observable and therefore the Funds’corporate bonds and term loans have been classified as Level 2.

c) Derivative assets and liabilitiesDerivative assets and liabilities consist of forward currency contracts which are valued based primarilyon the contract notional amount, the difference between the contract rate and the forward marketrate for the same currency, interest rates and credit spreads. Contracts for which counterparty creditspreads are observable and reliable, or for which credit-related inputs are determined not to besignificant to fair value are classified as Level 2.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Fund qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, accordingly, is notsubject to tax on that portion of its income, including net realized capital gains for its taxation yearthat is paid or payable to Unitholders. Income tax on net realized capital gains not paid or payable willbe generally recoverable by virtue of refunding provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada)and provincial income tax legislation, as redemptions occur. It is the intention of the Fund to pay allnet taxable income and sufficient net taxable gains so that the Fund will not be subject to incometaxes. The Fund may distribute more than it earns, in which case the excess distribution is a return ofcapital and is not taxable to Unitholders.

No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as allincome and net realized capital gains are to be distributed to the Unitholders. Capital losses realized inexcess of those utilized to offset realized capital gains in the current taxation year can be carriedforward indefinitely and may be applied against future years’ capital gains. Non-capital losses may becarried forward for a period of 20 years and applied against future years’ taxable income. As atDecember 31, 2014, the Fund had no capital losses and had no non-capital losses.

9. EXPENSES OF THE FUND

An annual management fee equal to 1.25% per annum of the net asset value of the Fund, calculateddaily and payable monthly in arrears plus applicable taxes, is paid to the Manager. The managementfee totalled $5,367,873 and $2,142,274 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and for theperiod July 18, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

The Fund pays for all ordinary expenses incurred in connection with its operation and administration,including, but not limited to, all costs of Portfolio transactions, fees payable to the Manager,administrator and other third party service providers, custodial fees, legal, accounting, audit andvaluation fees, other administrative expenses and any extraordinary expenses that the Fund may incur.

The Manager is also eligible in each fiscal year to receive from the Fund a performance fee (the"Performance Fee") that shall be calculated and accrued monthly and be paid annually, if applicable.The Performance Fee for a given year will, subject to some exceptions regarding redemptions andissuances of Units, be equal to 20% of the amount by which the sum of the net asset value per Unit(calculated without taking into account any Performance Fee) plus distributions paid on such Unitsduring the year exceeds 106.0% of the Threshold Amount plus applicable taxes. The Threshold Amountwill be the greater of: (i) $10.00; and (ii) the net asset value per Unit at the end of the last fiscal yearin which a Performance Fee was paid (after payment of such Performance Fee). Please refer to theFund’s Prospectus for additional information on the Performance Fee. The Performance Fee totalled

11. REDEEMABLE UNITS AND NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO HOLDERS OF REDEEMABLE UNITS

The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of redeemable and transferable Units of a singleclass, each of which represents an equal, undivided interest in the net assets of the Fund.

The Declaration of Trust provides that the Fund may not issue additional Units except: (i) for netproceeds not less than 100% of the net asset value per Unit calculated as of the close of business on thebusiness day immediately prior to the pricing of such offering; (ii) by way of Unit distributions; or (iii)with the approval of Unitholders.

Commencing in September 2015 to and including September 2017, Units may be surrendered annuallyfor redemption during the period from August 15th until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the 10th businessday in September of each year (the “Notice Period”) if and only if the annual redemption condition(the “Annual Redemption Condition”), described below, has been met in such year. Units properlysurrendered for redemption during the Notice Period will be redeemed on the last business day inSeptember of each year and the Unitholder will receive a redemption price per Unit equal to 100% ofthe net asset value per Unit as determined on the Annual Redemption Date less any costs associatedwith the redemption.

The Annual Redemption Condition states that Units may only be redeemed on an Annual RedemptionDate if the simple average of the Net Asset Values of the Units on each business day occurring in themonth of August preceding the Annual Redemption Date is less than $10.00. Notwithstanding theAnnual Redemption Condition, Units may be redeemed at the option of Unitholders on the last businessday of September 2018 and on the last business day of September each year thereafter.

Capital managementUnits issued and outstanding represent the capital for the Fund. The Fund has no restrictions or specificcapital requirements and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of transferable Units. Restrictionsand specific requirements on the redemption of Units are described above.

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the above table outline the relevant changes of the Unitsfor the Period. The Fund manages its capital in accordance with its investment objectives andstrategies and the risk management practices outlined in Note 5 while maintaining sufficient liquidityto meet Unitholder redemptions.

12. DISTRIBUTIONS

In accordance with the Fund’s investment objective to provide Unitholders with quarterly cashdistributions, the Fund intends to make quarterly distributions to Unitholders of record on the lastbusiness day of March, June, September and December (each, a “Distribution Record Date”).Distributions will be paid on a business day designated by the Manager that will be no later than the15th business day of the month following the Distribution Record Date. The Fund has adopted adistribution reinvestment plan which shall provide that all quarterly cash distributions made by theFund shall, at the election of each Unitholder, be automatically reinvested in additional Units on eachUnitholder’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. The initial quarterly distributions aretargeted to be $0.15 per Unit ($0.60 per annum representing an annual cash distribution of 6.0% basedon the $10.00 per Unit issue price). During the twelve months ended, the Fund declared four quarterlycash distributions of $0.15 per Unit each. Distributions payable as of December 31, 2014 totalled$5,143,553 (December 31, 2013; $5,160,000). The distribution was subsequently paid to Unitholders inearly January 2015. The Fund does not have a fixed quarterly distribution.

In any year after such distributions, there would otherwise remain in the Fund additional operatingprofit or net realized capital gains, the Fund intends to make, on or before December 31 of that year, aspecial distribution of such portion of the remaining net income and net realized capital gains as isnecessary to ensure the Fund will not be liable for income tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

14. TRANSITION TO IFRS

The effects of the Fund’s transition to IFRS are summarized in this note as follows:

Transition electionsThe only voluntary exemption adopted by the Fund upon transition was the ability to designate afinancial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit and loss upon transition to IFRS. Allfinancial assets designated at FVTPL upon transition were previously carried at fair value underCanadian GAAP as required by Accounting Guideline 18, Investment Companies.

Fund reconciliation of net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units and comprehensiveincome as previously reported under Canadian GAAP to IFRS

Classification of redeemable units issued by the FundUnder Canadian GAAP, the Fund accounted for its redeemable units as equity. Under IFRS,International Accounting Standard, IAS 32 requires that units of an entity which include a contractualobligation for the issuer to repurchase or redeem them for cash or another financial asset be classifiedas financial liability. The characteristics of the units are not identical and therefore do not meet thecriteria in IAS 32 for classification as equity. As such the Fund’s redeemable units, have beenreclassified as financial liabilities on transition to IFRS.

Revaluation of investments at fair value through profit or lossUnder Canadian GAAP, the Fund measured the fair value of its investments in accordance with Section3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, which required the use of bid prices forlong positions and ask prices for short positions; to the extent such prices were available. Under IFRS,the fund measures the fair values of its investments using the guidance in IFRS 13, Fair ValueMeasurement (“IFRS 13”), which requires that if an asset or a liability has a bid price and an ask price,

then its fair value is to be based on a price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fairvalue. It also allows the use of mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions that are used by marketparticipants as a practical expedient for fair value measurements within a bid-ask spread. As a result,upon adoption of IFRS an adjustment was recognized to increase the carrying amount of the Fund’sinvestment by $750,552 as at December 31, 2013. The impact of this adjustment was to increase thefund’s Net Assets attributable to holders of redeemable units by $750,552 for the year ended December31, 2013.
