These include financial assets that are not held for trading purposes and which may be sold. These areinvestments in unlisted trusts. . .

Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are those thatare managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Fund's documentedinvestment strategy. The Fund's policy is for the responsible entity to evaluate the information about thesefinancial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.

(ii) Recognition/Derecognition

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Net assets attributable to unitholders

Units are redeemable at the unitholders option and are therefore classified as financial liabilities. The units can beput back to the Fund at any time (subject to Manager apprOval) for cash equal to a proportionate share of the bookvalue of the Fund's net assets. The fair value of redeemable units is measured at the redemption amount that ispayable (based on the redemption unit price) at the balance sheet date if unitholders exercised their right to put theunits back to the Fund.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to knownamounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Payments and receipts relating to the' purchase and sale of financial assets are classified as cash flows fromoperating activities, as movements in the fair value of these securities represent the Fund's main income generatingactivity.

(e) Investment income

Distribution income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities designated in the fair value through profit or loss categoryare recognised as income or expenses in the income statement in the year in which the changes occur.

(f) Expenses

All expenses, including responsible entity's feesHnd custodian fees, are recognised in the income statement on anaccruals basis.

(g) Income tax

Under current legislation, the Fund is not subject to income tax as unitholders àre presently entitled to the income ofthe Fund.

i

Realised capital losses are not distributed to unitholder.s but are retained in the Fund to be offset against anyrealised capital gains. If re,àlised capital gains exceed realised capital losses, the excess is distributed to unitholders.

The benefits of imputation credits and foreign tax paid are passed on to unitholders.

The Fund currently incurs withholding tax imposed by certain countries on investment income. Such income isrecorded gross of withholding tax in the income statement. ,

ü) Redemptions distributions

In accordance with the Fund constitution, the Fund distributes a "redemption distribution" when a unit is redeemedand the redemption price of that unit is greater than the application price of that uhit.

(k) Receivables

Receivables may include amounts for dividends, interest and trust distributions. Dividends and trust distributions areaccrued when the right to receive paym~nt is established. Interest is accrued at the reporting date from the time oflast payment in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(e) above. Amounts are generally received within 30days ,of being recorded as receivables.

(I) Payables

Payables include liabilities and accrued expenses owing by the Fund which are unpaid as at balance sheet date.

The distribution amount payable to unitholders as at the reporting date is recognised separately on the balancesheet when unitholders are presently entitled to the distributable income under the Fund's Constitution.

(m) Applications and redemptions

Applications received forunits in the Fund are recorded net of any entry fees payable prior to the issue of units inthe Fund. Redemptions from the Fund are recorded gross of any exit fees payable after the cancellation of unitsredeemed. 'Unit redemption prices are determined by reference to the net assets of the Fund divided by the number of units onissue less any redemption costs.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The GST incurred on the costs of various services provided to the Fund by third parties such as audit fees andresponsible entity fees have been passed onto the Fund.

-12-

Fusion Fund - Vanguard Propert Securities Index FundNotes to the financial statements

30 June 2009(continued)

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (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) Revised AASB 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 comprebensive income arid makes changes tothe statement of changes in equity, but will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Ifthe Fund makes a prior periòd 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) AÄSB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and AASB 2008-2 Amendments to Australian AccountingStandards - Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (Revised AASB 132)

Revised AASB 132 is applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The Fund hçis notadopted this standard early. Application of this standard will notaffect 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.

(q) Segment reporting

A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services thatare subject to 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 subjectto risks andreturns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

3 Financial risk management

The Fund's activities expose it to a variety of financíal risks: market risk (including price risk; foreign exchange riskand interestrate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Fund's overall risk management programme focuses onenswing 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 creditrisk.

(ay 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.

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 bàsed 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 isno direct foreign exchange risk in this Fund. Indirectforeign 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 r.isk 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 raterisk 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 increaseldecrease 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 +1- 50 basis points (2008- +1- 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. .(0) Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Fund's operating profi and net assets attributable tounitholders to interest rate risk and price risk: The reasonably possible movements in the risk variables have beendetermined based on Managementsbest estimate, having regard toa number of factors, including historical levelsof changes in underlying funds investment unit price. However, actual mqvementsin the risk variables may begreater or less than anticipated due to a number of factors, including unusually large market shocks resulting fromchanges in the performance of the economies, markets and securities in which the underlying fund invests. As aresult, historic variations iri 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 equityinvestment 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 low as 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 i¡: 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 hasdiscretion 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 suffcient informàtion to assess on a look through basis.
